Redevelopment agreement for the Huntley Outlet Center in process

By HANNAH PROKOP

hprokop@shawmedia.com HUNTLEY – When the Huntley Outlet Center, then called Huntley Factory Shops, opened in August 1994, customers who came to shop on opening day filled up the 1,300 parking spaces before noon.

Some shoppers rode in shuttle buses to the outlet mall from Deicke Park on Route 47. About 39 out of 48 leased stores were open with expansions planned for the future.

On Friday, about a dozen cars sat in the parking lot outside of the Banana Republic Factory store – the only store that hasn’t closed.

Directory signs on the property are empty, windows on closed stores are covered and orange safety cones and yellow caution signs sit on cracked sidewalks.

Indianapolis-based Simon Property Group sold the mall in April 2016 when it was less than half full.

Huntley Investment Partners LLC, a group made up of California-based Craig Realty Group, Chicago’s Prime Group Inc. and Elgin’s Capital Realty and Development, bought the property.

The village has taken a hit from the decline of the center, which Village Manager Dave Johnson has said is the front doorstep to the community.

The mall is located at Route 47 and Interstate 90, where a $61 million full interchange opened in 2013.

Huntley invested about $6 million in the interchange, Johnson said.

“We’re certainly, at this point, looking forward to continuing the conversations with the new ownership to redevelop the site into something we can all be proud of,” Johnson said.

In 2002, the center generated $346,743 in total sales tax – compared with the $124,884 generated in 2015, according to village documents.

In 2016, $94,836 in sales tax was generated through October, documents show. Village records do not break down the amount received from the mall before 2002.

The village received half of the total sales tax from the center, and the rest went to the developer to pay back the tax increment financing district bonds, documents show.

The TIF for that property expired

H. Rick Bamman – hbamman@shawmedia.com

A blank store directory stands Tuesday in front of vacant stores at the Huntley Outlet Mall. The mall at Route 47 and Interstate 90 is expected to be demolished. The property, which opened in August 1994, was sold by Simon Property Group in April 2016 to Huntley Investment Partners LLC.

“The property is right at the front doors, right in the entryway, to our community and the appearance is going to be important.”

Dave Johnson

Huntley village manager

in 2016.

“We hate to lose that revenue that’s been created over the years,” Johnson said.

In February 2016, the village filed an ordinance complaint saying the property had fallen into disrepair, Village Attorney John Cowlin has said.

The center was cited for more than 190 violations, Cowlin said,

including damaged sidewalks and parking lots, rusted light poles, crumbled brick and landscaping that is not maintained.

Cowlin said Thursday that the village will be refiling the case because of technical problems.

“The compliant listed the violations when it was originally filed against prior owners,” Cowlin said, adding now village staff will go to the property to see whether there are any additional violations.

The village likely will be paid a fine based on the severity of each violation, Cowlin said.

...

While the Huntley Outlet Center is failing, others continue to grow.

From 2016 to 2018, there were 43 planned outlet center projects in the U.S. in 20 states, International Council of Shopping Centers reported in 2015.

During that same time frame,

nine expansions of existing centers were planned, according to council figures. Simon Property completed two expansions in 2015 in Aurora and San Francisco.

Simon’s expansion at Chicago Premium Outlets in Aurora added about 250,000 square feet of outdoor shopping space, including 30 new and expanded stores.

The Aurora mall is one of the 10 largest outlet malls in the country, industry figures show.

One of the reasons why the Huntley Outlet Center failed could be because the owner was investing more money into other properties, said Phyllis Ezop, president of LaGrange Park-based Ezop and Associates, a consulting firm that researches business success and failure.

“A lot of it is location based, and some of the other ones do have better locations (than the Huntley Outlet

Huntley man sentenced to 4 years in prison for McHenry armed robbery

By JORDYN REILAND

jreiland@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – A McHenry County judge sentenced a Huntley man to four years in prison for robbing a McHenry payday loan store with a BB gun.

Alize Q. Smith, 20, pleaded guilty in February to one count of aggravated robbery, a Class 1 felony. Smith faced probation or up to 15 years in prison.

Judge Michael Feetterer said during a sentencing hearing Friday that while he considered the fact that Smith had no prior criminal history and was a young adult who had a caring mother, he could not overlook the fact that Smith had committed two armed robberies within a week.

Smith was arrested and charged May 5, 2016, in McHenry County after police said he entered a McHenry PLS Loan Store, 810 N. Front St., through the front door, approached an employee and demanded money from the safe room while displaying what was initially described as a handgun. Police later determined the weapon was a BB gun, authorities said.

The 20-year-old left the store with more than $12,000. He was found in the area shortly after the incident, police said.

“You’re lucky the people in that store didn’t have a weapon because that could’ve been your last day on this planet,” Feetterer said.

While he was in custody of McHenry police, Huntley police officers interviewed Smith and charged him in connection with a robbery of a 7-Eleven in Huntley that happened April 30.

Officers responded to the 7-Eleven about 3:09 a.m. April 30 and found that Smith entered the store and demanded money from the cash register while displaying the same

BB gun, police have said.

All of the money taken from both stores was returned, authorities said.

Feetterer sentenced Alize Q. Smith to four years in Smith prison and two years of mandatory supervised release with a recommendation for the impact incarceration program, commonly referred to as boot camp.

Feetterer said while he believed Smith wasn’t an appropriate candidate for probation, he still recognized his lack of criminal history and young age. Smith has been in jail custody for about 11 months.

Smith also is facing criminal charges for the Huntley incident but his attorney, Assistant Public Defender Grant Tucker, said he did not believe Kane County prosecutors

were considering prison time.

Tucker said that while he understood what his client did was “disgraceful,” he believed he would do very well on probation.

He said he was concerned for his client if he was sentenced to prison because he has Type 1 diabetes and needs consistent treatment. He also said he was afraid Smith may not qualify or be able to complete boot camp because of his health conditions.

Smith’s mother, Sabrina Peden, said she believed her son had learned a lesson.

She assured the judge that her son was not likely to commit any further crimes.

She also said Smith helps take care of his 7-year-old brother and helped

Woodstock police officer resigns after DUI arrest

By JORDYN REILAND

jreiland@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – A Woodstock police officer accused of drunken driving in an off-duty crash in February that knocked over a utility pole in Round Lake Beach has left the department.

Officer Michael E. Niedzwiecki resigned from his position March 22, Woodstock Police Chief John Lieb said.

Niedzwiecki was placed on administrative leave Feb. 23 after being on “allocated benefit time.” He was hired by the department in March 2012 and was assigned to the department’s patrol division.

“In light of his situation, he thought that it was best for himself and the city of Woodstock if he pursued other career interests,” Lieb said in an email. “The city wishes the best for him and his family as they begin the next chapter of their lives.”

Niedzwiecki, 29, of Lake Villa was

charged Feb. 15 with driving under the influence of alcohol and cited for failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident.

Round Lake Beach Michael E. police officers respondNiedzwiecki ed at 1:49 a.m. Feb. 11 for a report of a crash at North Hainesville and East Clarendon roads.

Officers arrived at the scene and saw a truck off the road with heavy damage and covered in downed power lines.

Niedzwiecki told police officers he was driving north on Hainesville Road approaching Rollins Road with his wife and he “forgot” that Hainesville Road curved sharply to the left.

He drove off the road and crashed into a telephone pole and a highway marker sign, according to a police report.

“I knew that curve was there, I just forgot about that curve,” Niedzwiec-

ki told the officers, according to the report.

Police said Niedzwiecki was slurring his words, and officers noted they could smell a “strong odor of an alcoholic beverage,” according to the report. His eyes also were glassy and bloodshot, and he identified himself as a police officer by displaying his badge. Niedzwiecki and his wife both declined medical attention at the scene.

Niedzwiecki refused field sobriety tests, and he was arrested for suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol. He also refused to submit to a breath sample while at the police station, according to the report.

Preliminary investigations indicated that Niedzwiecki was driving faster than the posted 30 mph speed limit and at a speed more than necessary to maintain control of the vehicle on the curve, according to the report.

He will next appear April 20 in Lake County Court.

The village is in the process of working with property owners on a redevelopment agreement for the site, Johnson said.

“The property is right at the front doors, right in the entryway, to our community and the appearance is going to be important,” Johnson said.

“And the mix of uses are obviously important to us in making sure it’s not just a one-dimensional type of project – it’s one that, again, can support or make its way through ups and downs in the economy.”

With the site’s proximity to the interchange, Johnson added he hopes the area will be a job creator that serves not only the village of Huntley, but the region as a whole.

who matched Anderson’s description walking east in the middle of the westbound lane of traffic on Route 14, officials said.

Witnesses described the vehicle that struck the man as a medium to dark colored truck — possibly a pickup — with a possible lighting system on the roof. The truck didn’t stop and continued west on Route 14 toward Route 47.

The Major Crash Assistance Team responded to document the site and assist with the investigation. The Woodstock Police Department’s Patrol and Investigations divisions continue to investigate the incident in conjunction with the McHenry County Coroner’s Office, police said.

for granted ever again,” he said. “I made a very poor decision, but I know that isn’t an excuse.”

Assistant State’s Attorney Alex Geocaris argued that Smith should be sentenced to six years in prison based on the seriousness of the crime and to deter others from committing these types of crimes.

“This was not some victimless crime,” Geocaris said. “There was no good or valid reason why he committed this crime.”

Fire breaks out in home near Harvard NORTHWEST HERALD Firefighters work to put out a fire Friday at State Line Road and Route 14 in Chemung Township.

The fire, which took more than five hours to put out, sent one person to the hospital.

HARVARD – A man was taken to the hospital Friday afternoon after a fire rendered a home uninhabitable in Bigfoot, an unincorporated community near Harvard.

Firefighters from more than 10 jurisdictions fought the residential fire for more than five hours Friday afternoon.

One person was home at the time, and he was taken to Harvard Hospital for treatment of burns and smoke inhalation. The man’s injuries were not life-threatening, Harvard Fire Department officials said.

Responders were called to the scene at 3:40 p.m. Friday and when they arrived, heavy flames and smoke were apparent throughout the first floor of a two-story home, officials said.

The cause and starting point of the fire has yet to be determined because of the amount of damage done to the home, officials said. The house is considered a total loss, with a damage estimate of about $150,000 to $200,000, fire department officials said.

MARY ANNE NELSON

Born: October 4, 1936; in Silver Spring, MD Died: March 30, 2017; in Lake Geneva, WI Mary Anne Nelson (Clark), 80, went home to be with her Savior Jesus on March 30, 2017, at her home in Lake Geneva, WI, surrounded by her family, strengthened by her faith, and at peace.

GLENWOOD C. O’DELL SR.

Mary Anne was born to the late Thomas and Marion Clark in Washington, D.C., on October 4, 1936. She met her husband to-be Bill Nelson while working as a flight attendant with TWA and received a proposal within 2 weeks. They were married on October 3, 1959.

As part of God’s sovereign plan this union led to her coming to faith in Jesus Christ early in their marriage and began a life long journey of following and serving the Lord. Her faith and obedience led to a life marked by gentleness, humility, hospitality, and a servant’s heart. This was displayed by seeking to meet the needs of others and she frequently spent time caring for the elderly.

Mary Anne was blessed with a large and loving family. Her walk with Jesus was evident and influential in each one of their lives. Her joy, peace, and prayers impacted the faith of her children and grand-children.

She is survived by her husband, Bill Nelson, with whom she recently celebrated 57 years of marriage. Mary Anne was the mother of 3 children, Brad Nelson, who preceded her in death, Cheri (Nelson) Pugh, and David Nelson. She has 7 grandchildren, Jessica Pugh, Ryan Pugh, Brad Pugh, Jarrett Pugh, Matthew Nelson, Katharyn Nelson, and Hannah Nelson. She is also survived by her sister, Betty Clark Holwegner, and was preceded in death by her brother, Charles William Clark.

She often spoke of her hope to be re-united with her late son as she would quote the scriptural promise, “To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.”

Mary Anne’s life and the hope of the Lord will be celebrated at the Evangelical Free Church of Crystal Lake, IL, on Sunday, April 2.

Visitation will be from 1:30 to 4:00, followed by the service at 4:00 pm.

Online condolences may be made at www. querhammerandflagg.com.

“He was very severe at times,” Hughes said. “The way the laws were, the cops couldn’t do anything. I remember the cops being there and she was just battered and bloody. He threatened her life. I’m a witness to that.”

The case changed the way domestic violence would be viewed, Greydanus said, describing it as “a catalyst for the creation of virtually all legislation regarding domestic abuse and the approaches law enforcement now uses to deal with incidences of domestic abuse.”

HOROSCOPE

By EUGENIA LAST

Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – Let charm lead the way. You will get much further if you are accommodating, offer incentives and treat others with respect. If you listen to the problems of others and make positive suggestions, you will be viewed as a leader. A chance to surpass your expectations is in the stars if you are benevolent.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Show how resourceful you are and take pride in what you do. Believe in yourself and your ability to get things done on your own. Someone prying will have ulterior motives.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Take charge, but don’t make assumptions based on what others tell you.

False information is likely to be offered to throw you off guard. Fact-checking will be necessary.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – A little charm and a whole lot of charisma will set you apart from any competition you face. Make love, romance and family fun priorities. Re-evaluate business partnerships and joint ventures.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Don’t fear being different or offering unusual solutions. Take ownership of the position you are in and make your point clear.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Don’t let anyone take advantage of you financially, emotionally or contractually. Look for ulterior motives when dealing with people who seem too accommodating or complimentary.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Emotional manipulation

will set you back. Before you let someone take advantage of you, consider his or her motives and what you could lose by entering into an unstable situation.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Discussions will clear up any unfinished matters with a friend, relative or partner. Let your experience guide you in making wise choices regarding prospects and future joint ventures.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – A gamble will lead to emotional duress. Don’t take chances, even if those around you are pressuring you to do so. Be smart and play it safe to avoid a loss.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Share your feelings.

It’s important to make sure that you are on the same wavelength with the person or people who

will be influenced by your decisions. Make romance a priority.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Socializing is best kept to a minimum. Getting involved in emotional situations that could lead to lifestyle changes would not be in your best interest. Don’t let temptation be your downfall.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Host a get-together or reconnect with someone you haven’t seen for a long time. Explore your options and consider making a commitment or signing a contract that will change your lifestyle.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Emotional disillusionment will surface if you don’t look at the facts and listen to good advice. Weigh the pros and cons before you decide to make a permanent move.

Will mayor pay price for backing Trump?

By SARA BURNETT The Associated Press

BOLINGBROOK – In Roger Claar’s 31 years as mayor, Bolingbrook has grown from a sleepy town surrounded by farm fields to a diverse Chicago suburb nearly twice as large, with its own airport and an IKEA. And every four years, Claar has easily won re-election, facing little if any opposition.

But then the mayor invited Donald Trump to town, hosting a September fundraiser for the future president at a city-owned golf club.

Now the 71-year-old, who was a Trump delegate to last summer’s Republican National Convention, faces the fight of his career Tuesday against a union organizer and county board member who was a Bernie Sanders delegate at the Democratic National Convention.

The race has captured attention well beyond the town of 75,000, as a segment of the electorate angry over the outcome of the presidential election pushes back and Democrats look to capitalize on that energy.

Claar’s rival, Jackie Traynere, is getting fundraising and other support from U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin, other top Democrats and groups such as Our Revolution, an offshoot of Sanders’ campaign formed to carry on his progressive “movement.”

News from across the state Judge: Cannabis companies can contribute to campaigns

CHICAGO – Illinois’ medical marijuana companies, operating in an industry abounding with rules, now have one less regulation they have to follow.

The Chicago Tribune reported that a federal judge ruled last week that a provision preventing cannabis companies from making campaign contributions in Illinois wasn’t constitutional. The ruling was in response to a 2015 lawsuit filed by two Libertarian Party candidates who sought contributions from the medical marijuana industry.

However, cannabis companies are used to operating in a highly regulated industry

Campaign signs for the Bolingbrook mayoral race are displayed Thursday outside the Fountaindale Public Library in Bolingbrook. also could signal whether political candidates – even those running for local offices – could encounter fallout at the ballot box for backing Trump.

Claar calls the situation “a bunch of B.S.” and said Democrats “are trying to take over Bolingbrook.”

“They want to take out a Trump mayor,” said Claar, who is backed by a super PAC led by Ron Gidwitz, a top GOP donor who served as Trump’s Illinois campaign chairman. “It’s payback. That’s all it is.”

Claar also said personal politics are no reason to cast a ballot for or against someone in a mayoral race.

“There’s no such thing as a Republican or Democratic pothole,” he said in a campaign video posted on Facebook.

Traynere said the mayor could have avoided the challenge if he had listened to his constituents. The town that has a large immigrant and minority population is home to two mosques and backed Hillary Clinton for president with more than 60 percent of the vote.

and aren’t rushing to make campaign donations. Cresco Labs CEO and co-founder Charlie Bachtell said the provision preventing campaign contributions was just another regulation to follow.

“We had a road map of certain things we had to do, certain things we need to comply with, a couple things we were prevented from doing, and this was one of those,” Bachtell said.

oversight change is part of his effort to transform government. He wants “to deliver the best services to taxpayers at the best value.”

University Park trustees call for resignation of mayor

UNIVERSITY PARK – The village board of a Chicago suburb is calling for the mayor to resign because of alleged financial impropriety.

Members of the University Park Board of Trustees said a federal investigation has been launched into the finances of the town of about 7,000. Trustee Joseph Roudez said village funds have gone missing, and the board blames Mayor Vivian Covington.

Covington said Thursday she has done nothing wrong with village finances. She said they were a mess when she was elected in 2011. And she noted the board blocked her attempts to fix the problem by cutting spending.

More than 1,000 people signed a petition that was delivered to Claar asking him not to hold the fundraiser, she said, noting Trump made derogatory statements during the campaign about Mexican immigrants, Muslims and women.

But Claar went ahead with the event, which featured Trump and one of his top campaign surrogates, former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani.

Tickets ranged from $1,000 to $250,000, and Claar said it raised “millions” for Trump’s campaign.

As a group of about 150 protesters – Traynere among them – gathered across the street from the fundraiser they hatched a plan to run a serious candidate against Claar come April.

Traynere was later drafted for the job.

“The mayor’s inviting Trump here opened a door that wouldn’t have been opened otherwise,” she said. “He should have never done it.”

In her talks with voters, Traynere said she’s heard from Muslims fearful their children will be attacked and teachers who had children of immigrants crying in their classrooms because they were afraid their parents would be deported because Trump is in office. Knowing their mayor supported Trump has been a huge mobilizer.

“This is the person our mayor supported for president – somebody our community is afraid of,” Traynere said. “He sent a real clear message. He said: ‘Screw you.’ ”

The board is accusing Covington of raiding the tax increment financing fund by setting up phony wire transfers. They also said she awarded village contracts to family and friends without board approval and refused to comply with an audit of village finances.

Brian Oldfield, brash shot put star, dies at 71

Brian Oldfield, the brash, bearish shot put star who helped popularize the spin technique, has died. He was 71.

He died Sunday in his hometown of Elgin, USA Track and Field said on its website.

Oldfield was the first to throw the shot put more than 72 feet, and he kept building on that mark. He also was the first to reach 73, 74 and 75 feet. His 75-foot throw in 1975 still ranks fourth in the world. He finished sixth in the shot put in the 1972 Olympics.

Trump shows distrust toward intel agencies The ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON – The White House’s handling of intelligence reports on the Russia investigation has been labeled unorthodox and, to the Democrats, suspicious.

But when it comes to Donald Trump’s relationship with his spy agencies, that’s par for the course.

Since taking office, Trump has challenged the integrity of intelligence officials, moved to exert more control over U.S. spying agencies and accused his predecessor of using government spycraft to monitor his presidential campaign.

This week, Trump’s White House is facing allegations that it funneled secret intelligence reports to a top Republican investigating his campaign’s possible ties to Russian officials as well as Moscow’s interference in the 2016 election.

The approach appears to be based, at least in part, on the White House’s anxiety over the Russia investigations, which threaten to seriously weaken his presidency.

It also reflects a deep distrust of the intelligence community among his political advisers, including government newcomers who have never dealt with classified information or covert programs.

“It reveals a chasm of ignorance about how stuff is done,” said Michael Hayden, the former head of the CIA and National Security Agency.

Trump, with the backing of political advisers Steve Bannon and Jared Kushner, initially sought to put Wall Street billionaire Stephen Feinberg in charge of a review of the intelligence agencies. An early iteration of the review explored eliminating the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, the umbrella agency created af-

Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee, speaks to reporters Thursday on Capitol Hill as the panel continues to investigate Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election and the web of contacts between President Donald Trump’s campaign and Russia. ter the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks to streamline and coordinate intelligence.

Officials said they viewed the agency as an unnecessary and bloated bureaucracy that can manipulate or distort information.

But the review was recalibrated after Dan Coats – who was confirmed earlier this month as Trump’s intelligence director – vigorously complained about being undermined in the midst of his confirmation hearings, according to U.S. officials.

Coats now is leading the review, although it does not include potentially scrapping the office he now runs, according to the officials.

“This is going to be more on the ‘trim and optimize’ as opposed to ‘dismantle,’” said L. Roger Mason, Jr., an executive with the nonprofit Noblis and a member of the Trump transition team that focused on the national intelligence directorate.

Trump’s White House has looked for other ways to seize the reins.

Officials have expressed an interest in having more raw intelligence sent to the president for his daily brief-

ings instead of an analysis of information compiled by the agencies, according to current and former U.S. officials. The change would have given his White House advisers more control about the assessments given to him and sidelined some of the conclusions made by intelligence professionals.

One official said the focus on accessing more raw intelligence appeared to be more of a priority under the short tenure of Michael Flynn, who was ousted as national security adviser after less than one month on the job.

He was replaced by H.R. McMaster, an Army lieutenant general who was expected to exert more control over the NSC but has found himself struggling to overcome skepticism among Flynn holdovers who have the ear of Bannon.

Earlier this month, CIA leaders raised concerns with McMaster about an intelligence director on his staff.

McMaster moved to replace him, but the staffer, Ezra Cohen-Watnick, appealed to Bannon and Kushner, who got Trump to intervene to save his job.

Dozens remain at lead-tainted complex

By TOM DAVIES

The Associated Press INDIANAPOLIS – Dozens of families remained at a lead-contaminated public housing complex in northwest Indiana, despite a Friday target date to move them out so the city can tear down the buildings.

More than 270 families have left East Chicago’s West Calumet Housing Complex, and officials hope to have the remaining 50 or so families out next week. But the delay points up several problems with the evacuation effort such as limited rental options in the largely industrial area, landlords who won’t accept government housing vouchers and some residents’ resistance to being forced from the city.

Lifelong East Chicago resident Tara Adams said she has been seeking a new home for herself, her 19-yearold son and 11-year-old daughter since last summer and has had belongings packed up for months. The temporary housing she has been offered is about 25 miles away, in what she worries is a perilous neighborhood across the state line on Chicago’s South Side.

“I for sure don’t want to move my 19-year-old son into an area where there’s a greater chance for him to get shot,” Adams said. “I don’t want to do that.”

Officials last summer began clearing out the 45-year-old complex of three-story apartment buildings after detailed soil testing found some yards with lead levels more than 70 times the federal safety standard.

Tara Adams stands outside her home Thursday as she tries to organize a move from the East Chicago, Ind., dwelling. Adams’ is one of dozens of families remaining at a lead-contaminated public housing complex in northwest Indiana, despite a Friday target date to move them out so the city can tear down the buildings.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency soon warned parents to keep their children away from the dirt on the site occupied decades ago by a lead-products factory. Just to the south sat the sprawling U.S. Smelter and Lead Refinery, or USS Lead, which salvaged lead from old car batteries and scrap metal before it closed in 1985.

The complex was home to more than 1,000 people, including about 700 children. Tests by the Indiana Depart-

ment of Health found high lead levels in blood samples of some children.

Even at low levels, exposure can cause nervous system damage and lowered IQs, according to experts.

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development reached an agreement in November with advocates representing the residents that gave families a break on rent and until the end of March to find new homes.

Of those families remaining at the complex, homes in East Chicago have

been lined up about 30 and fewer than 10 families face possible relocations to Chicago, according to HUD officials.

Those unhappy with their relocation options have until Monday to file grievances with the local housing authority.

James Cunningham, HUD’s deputy regional administrator in Chicago, said a limited number available rentals in East Chicago complicated efforts to find new homes nearby for all the West Calumet residents.

“The absorption, I think, has gone pretty well given the large number – we had to relocate 332 families,” Cunningham said.

Final decisions on the relocations rest with city officials, who didn’t talk with a couple of dozen protesters at City Hall last week calling for an extension of the relocation deadline.

Mayor Anthony Copeland’s office and city housing authority officials didn’t return telephone messages this week seeking comment.

Copeland said in a statement last week to local news media he would never advocate moving residents involuntarily “unless we faced an issue of public safety” and that waiting wasn’t an option because of the environmental hazards.

The plans to move some families across the state line into Illinois could cost people jobs and state Medicaid coverage and force children to change schools late in the school year, said Emily Coffey, an attorney for Chicago-based Sargent Shriver National Center on Poverty Law who’s working with residents.

Trump targets trade abuses with executive orders The ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump signed a pair of executive orders Friday focused on reducing the trade deficit just days before he holds his first meeting with his Chinese counterpart.

Trump’s aides insist the timing is coincidental, but the administration is touting the moves as evidence of it taking an aggressive but analytical approach to closing a trade gap that is largely because of the influx of goods from China. Some experts said the orders suggest the president may be taking a softer tack on trade.

The first order gives the Commerce Department 90 days to assemble a report on the factors behind the trade deficit, while the second seeks to increase collection of duties on imports.

In remarks in the Oval Office, Trump said he’d seen firsthand as he traveled

the country how bad trade deals had hurt American workers.

“The jobs and wealth have been stripped from our country,” he said, vowing to put that to an end. “We’re bringing manufacturing and jobs back to our country.”

The president had been expected to sign the orders after giving his remarks, but left before he had. A White House Donald official said he signed the Trump orders later.

Several economists said it’s unlikely the planned report would address the broader economic forces behind the trade imbalance, since it would track trade deficits country-by-country and product-by-product. And the order on trade duties appears to duplicate the standards of a trade enforcement

act signed into law by then-President Obama in 2016, according to congressional staff.

“It seems like there is less here than meets the eye,” said Robert Scott, director of trade and manufacturing policy research at the left-leaning Economic Policy Institute.

Coupled together, the orders appear to be a symbolic shot at China, which accounted for the vast majority – $347 billion – of last year’s $502 billion trade deficit.

Trump referenced his meeting with China in his remarks in the Oval Office.

“We’re going to get down to some very serious business,” he said. “It’s been very bad what’s been happening to our country, in terms of our companies and in terms of our jobs.”

But Peter Navarro, director of the White House National Trade Council, stressed the orders had nothing to do

with Trump hosting President Xi Jinping of China at his estate in Florida next week.

“Nothing we’re saying tonight is about China. Let’s not make this a China story. This is a story about trade abuses, this is a story about an under-collection of duties,” he told reporters at a Thursday evening briefing.

Trump took an adversarial tone with China in a Thursday evening tweet, but he also appeared to dampen expectations about the meeting with Xi at his Mar-a-Lago estate.

“The meeting next week with China will be a very difficult one in that we can no longer have massive trade deficits ... and job losses,” he wrote.

This may be an acknowledgement that any meaningful progress with China could be slow, said David Dollar, a former World Bank and U.S. Treasury Department official.

WASHINGTON – U.S. health officials have begun enrolling volunteers for critical next-stage testing of an experimental vaccine to protect against Zika, the mosquito-borne virus that can cause devastating birth defects in pregnant women.

The first volunteer was vaccinated Wednesday at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, as the National Institutes of Health gears up for a two-part study that aims to enroll at least 2,400 people in Texas, Florida, Puerto Rico and five at-risk countries: Brazil, Mexico, Panama, Costa Rica and Peru.

Zika has caused an epidemic of birth defects – including babies with abnormally small heads and brains – in parts of Latin America and the Caribbean, and continues to spread to a creeping list of other countries. For the U.S. the risk has largely been to travelers, although mosquitoes spread the virus in parts of southern Florida and Texas last year, where health officials remain on guard.

But while Zika largely disappeared from the headlines over the winter, mosquito season is fast approaching – and the risk persists internationally.

“It is imperative that public health research continue to work to contain the spread of the virus,” Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of NIH’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said Friday in announcing the $100 million study.

First-stage safety testing of a socalled DNA vaccine against Zika signaled no side-effect concerns, Fauci said – allowing the NIH-created shots

from the Zika virus that, once in the body, make particles that resemble Zika enough to alert the immune system but cannot cause infection.

The NIH also is testing the safety of more traditional Zika vaccine candidates, but the easier-to-make DNA vaccine was the first ready to advance to this second stage of human testing.

Don’t expect a vaccine to be widely available any time soon. If Zika causes lots of illness this year, Fauci said researchers may have clues by early 2018 about how well the shots work – but if natural infections slow, they’ll need many more volunteers to get an answer.

For most people, Zika causes no symptoms or only mild ones such as AP file photo fever, aches, an itchy rash or red eyes.

Once the correct dose is found, the larger part of the study could begin as early as June at those sites and additional ones in the at-risk countries – giving 2,400 volunteers either the experimental vaccine or dummy shots. Pregnant women can’t receive the experimental shots but women of child-bearing age can enroll. All the volunteers will be tracked for nearly two years to see if the vaccine really protects against Zika infection.

ANOTHER VIEW

Constitutional prescription For those in the medical marijuana business in Illinois, you’ll soon be free to make political contributions. Until last Friday, that wasn’t the case.

U.S. Judge John Z. Lee in Chicago declared unconstitutional an Illinois law that banned marijuana facilities from making political contributions and candidates from accepting such contributions.

As have other legislative attempts to fetter campaign contributions, the law violated the donors’ and the candidates’ First Amendment rights to free speech and association.

In 2015, Libertarian candidates Claire Ball of Addison and Scott Schluter of Marion filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court to have the law overturned. Ball, then a candidate for state comptroller, and Schluter, a House candidate, told the court that they support medical marijuana and wanted financial support from licensed dispensaries and cultivators. They argued that barring anyone in the legal marijuana business from making themselves heard in an election campaign violates their right to speak freely on public issues. As we have stated before, spending money to be heard in a public debate constitutes speech. Lawmakers, who have in the past used campaign finance laws to handcuff competitors and shield themselves from unsavory issues, run afoul of the Constitution whenever the effect of legislation is to broadly limit speech.

Rightly so, political speech enjoys the most robust protection.

If a law on political contributions is to pass constitutional muster, it must be carefully tailored to promote a compelling government interest and use the least restrictive means possible to achieve that goal. In the case of Illinois, the state attorney general’s office contended that the law was written to prevent corruption or the appearance of corruption.

With a limited number of licenses for dispensaries and cultivation centers, the state argued, political contributions could be used to gain political favor to win or keep a permit. Further, as a new industry, medical marijuana needs to be protected from actual or perceived corruption. To support their claims, the state’s attorneys pointed to the state’s long history of corruption.

Lee rejected those arguments. In terms of political and advocacy speech, medical marijuana is no different than any other business that requires state licensing.

“Defendants have offered no justification for imposing an outright ban on contributions from medical cannabis cultivation centers and dispensaries when more moderate measures, such as dollar limits on contributions, are available,” Lee ruled.

This is a classic case of viewpoint discrimination, and the federal court has wisely struck down a clearly unconstitutional state law.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

ANOTHER VIEW

It’s certainly no way to win a war Until now, there has been a stark contrast between the tactics of the U.S.-backed military campaign to recapture Mosul, Iraq, from the Islamic State and those of Russian and Syrian government forces attacking rebels in neighboring Syria. The latter has featured deliberate bombing of civilian targets, including hospitals, food stores and aid convoys, at the cost of thousands of lives.

In Mosul, meanwhile, Iraqi counterterrorism forces have sustained heavy casualties in street fighting while limiting the use of artillery and airstrikes to avoid civilian deaths, winning praise from humanitarian groups.

A U.S. airstrike that may have killed scores or even hundreds of people March 17 in Mosul may now tarnish that record. Iraqi civil defense officials are saying the attack targeted a building in Mosul’s al-Jadida neighborhood where many people were crowded in a basement; the remains of more than 100 had been recovered by Sunday. Last Saturday, the Pentagon confirmed that the coalition had targeted Islamic State fighters “at the location corresponding to the allegations of civilian casualties” and said a formal inquiry was underway.

Confusion still surrounds the

incident: Iraqi military authorities are saying the casualties were caused by booby traps the Islamic State had planted in the house, or by a suicide car bomb that detonated nearby. There’s no question that the jihadists are using civilians as shields, forcing them to stay in homes that are used as firing positions. It is nevertheless vital that U.S. authorities determine as quickly as possible whether an American or coalition bomb caused the civilian deaths, and, if so, accept responsibility.

It’s equally important that U.S. and Iraqi forces minimize further civilian casualties as they reclaim the remaining, densely populated areas of Mosul still held by the Islamic State. Once the fight is over, the Shiite-led Iraqi government will face the stiff political challenge of stabilizing a multiethnic city that includes hundreds of thousands of Sunnis; that will be all the more difficult if the pro-government forces have inflicted heavy casualties.

U.S. commanders appear to understand the stakes. Gen. Joseph Votel, leader of U.S. Central Command,issued a statement saying “the death of innocent civilians in Mosul is a terrible tragedy” and that the coalition “will continue to take extraordinary measures

to avoid harming civilians.”

U.S. spokesmen said the rules of engagement governing airstrikes, which are tailored to avoid civilian deaths, have not changed.

Outside observers nevertheless are speculating that the advent of the Trump administration has loosened restraints on U.S. attacks in the Middle East. A controversial Jan. 29 raid in Yemen, approved by President Donald Trump, killed up to a dozen civilians, according to Votel. A U.S. airstrike March 16 in Syria’s Aleppo province is under investigation amid allegations that it killed scores of civilians gathered in a mosque; the Pentagon described the target as an al-Qaeda gathering.

President Barack Obama was frequently criticized, with some reason, for micromanaging military strike decisions and exercising excessive caution. Trump, on the other hand, has talked loosely about heavily bombing Islamic State-held areas and has stepped up direct U.S. involvement in the fighting. Defeating the Islamic State more quickly through the greater use of U.S. force is a worthy goal. But doing so at the cost of higher civilian casualties would be a serious mistake.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Taxpayers Accountability endorses Magnificent Seven

To the Editor: Tax Accountability, the political action arm of Taxpayers United of America, is proud to endorse the Magnificent Seven Republican McHenry Township candidates for the April 4 election.

Springfield has made Illinois a financial mess, but Illinoisans also must stay vigilant in local politics to reduce tax burdens and government waste.

Tax Accountability endorses: Trustees – Bob Anderson, Mike Rakestraw, Bill Cunningham and Stan Wojewski Supervisor – Steve Verr Clerk – Dan Aylward Highway Commissioner – Steve Koerber “These seven candidates have been tireless advocates for taxpayers and tax relief as longtime residents and activists,” said Jim Tobin, president of Tax Accountability. “When elected, the Magnificent Seven Republican McHenry Township candidates will continue to champion the principles of property tax relief and better government. Tax Accountability is proud to endorse these tax fighters for the April 4 election.”

John Pletz a role model

To the Editor: Like most people running for public office, John Pletz, candidate for District 155 school board, would like to see a change for the better. Many people moving from the private sector into the public eye do so to facilitate change, help better their community and stand up for what is fair for those living and paying taxes within their community. John is no different. As a Crystal Lake Chamber of Commerce member, John and I have served in leadership roles together on the board of directors as well as ambassadors.

John serves as a leader in everyday life, as a husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather and 30-year business owner. John has sacrificed for our country and has shown leadership while serving in the Navy during the Vietnam War era. Daily, John is the consummate role model of how to live a life with grace, fairness and treating others with respect.

Vote for Condon for highway commissioner

To the Editor: After a little research, I find it very obvious that James Condon is the best candidate for McHenry Township highway commissioner. He has a civil engineering degree and is a licensed professional engineer.

He has designed miles of roadway and has extensive experience in long-term maintenance of roadways.

Additionally, he has a master’s degree in business administration and is well-suited to manage the efforts of the road district.

Condon is a lifelong resident and is tireless in his efforts to provide community services. Whether it be volunteering to coach baseball and basketball or working with various charitable organizations to assist to the poor, he routinely gives of his time.

Condon’s opponent has no real ex-

perience with roadways and believes this would be a good retirement job for him.

Vote James Condon on April 4.

To the Editor: Flashy green signs and big money donors don’t make you qualified for township government. Don’t be fooled by the “Pretend Magnificent Seven.”

They claim to be tax fighters but don’t provide any plan to do so. They don’t bother putting their names on signs because then voters would know they are not real Republicans, but rather Bob Anderson puppets – that’s right, the same Bob Anderson who wanted to eliminate townships now wants to be a part of the township.

I say stay home, “Pretend Magnificent Seven,” we will have the real tax cutters continue their good work. Vote James Condon, Craig Adams, Marsha Nelson, Gary Barla, Craig Wallace, Sue Draffkorn and Neal Schepler, who have kept a flat tax levy for six years and reduced the tax levy by more than 10 percent this year.

Jett prepared to lead city

To the Editor: It has been my honor to serve as the mayor of McHenry for the past 14 years.

We live in a great community. I believe Wayne Jett is the right choice to serve as our next mayor. He is an active community participant, and he knows our town very well. He is a successful businessman who understands the plight of small business owners and the need to support economic growth and development.

Our mayor should be a visible, active member of our community. I truly believe Wayne Jett is fully prepared to lead our city, and he will be an outstanding and engaged representative of our community.

Age and experience aren’t the important factors. Integrity, enthusiasm and a willingness to collaborate with others are the qualities that make a strong and successful leader.

Please join me in voting for Wayne Jett as our next mayor.

My experience in the fire service spans a 47-year period. Retiring as fire chief of the Oak Park Fire Department, I also served as fire chief in two other communities. During my 17 years as a resident of Huntley, I served 11/2 years as a fire commissioner and 12 years on the current board of trustees of the HFPD. There are two positions up for election with three candidates running. The current board has worked extremely well together to achieve what I feel is one of the best and most progressive fire departments in the Chicago area while maintaining a very strong financial position. The accomplishments of the HFPD over the past 12 years have been tremendous, and too many to list in this limited space.

It was concerning and unfortunate that no other candidate felt the importance of attending them. The lack of regard for public input sends a clear message concerning their commitment to the district.

Blake, Ludwig and Pavoris obviously are passionate and invested. They will be the leaders who will protect the educational opportunities at our schools while being responsible with our tax dollars. They have experience in finance, administration and teaching, and understand the value of the education our schools provide. Vote for Blake, Ludwig and Pavoris.

More U.S. cities cater to Chinese travelers

By PHILIP MARCELO The Associated Press

BOSTON – Hotels offer congee and other Chinese staples for room service.

Casinos train staff members on Chinese etiquette. Restaurants, tourist sights and shopping malls translate signs, menus and information booklets into Chinese.

The American hospitality industry is stepping up efforts to make Chinese visitors feel more welcome, since they are projected to soon surpass travelers from the United Kingdom and Japan as the single largest overseas demographic.

And it’s not just the typical tourist hubs of New York and Los Angeles, where such efforts have long been commonplace. Smaller cities such as Boston, Las Vegas, Seattle and Washington, D.C., are increasingly getting into the act, industry officials said.

“Americans traditionally lag behind what other international designations do for different cultures,” said Elliott Ferguson, CEO of Destination DC, the city’s convention and tourism organization, which last year launched “Welcome China,” a certification program for local businesses. “We just kind of assume that one size fits all. Quite frankly, that’s just not welcoming.”

Local tourism associations in those and other cities have recently launched campaigns aimed at getting their member hotels, restaurants and tourism companies to better incorporate Chinese language and customs into their offerings. They’re also embarking on tourism-focused sales missions to Chi-

In cities across the country, the American hospitality industry is stepping up efforts to make Chinese visitors feel more welcome. na and opening satellite offices in Chinese cities to strengthen ties and sell their city to trendsetters.

Some companies have already embraced the message.

The Sheraton Boston in the Back Bay neighborhood started offering in 2013 simple creature comforts many Chinese travelers expect, including slippers, robes, instant noodles, an electric kettle and green tea, and have since taken other steps to cater to Chinese guests, said Angela Vento, the hotel’s general manager.

The Four Seasons in D.C.’s George-

town neighborhood makes similar gestures, as well as offering Chinese-language TV and newspapers. It’s also working on offering more traditional Chinese dishes on its room service and restaurant menus, said Liliana Baldassari, a hotel spokeswoman.

In Las Vegas, Caesars Entertainment last year started offering guests at some of its affiliated resorts the option to book and pay for hotel rooms using WeChat, China’s most popular social media app.

“It’s made a really strong statement to the Chinese that these people really welcome us and understand us,” said

Bruce Bommarito, the company’s vice president for international marketing, noting the Roman-themed casino has rolled out other China-focused initiatives in recent years, including training programs for staff on basic cultural etiquette for serving Chinese guests.

Those and other small touches are a step in the right direction, but more companies need to make an effort to recognize the growing importance of the Chinese market, said Justin Minggan Wei, a 27-year-old from Beijing who came to Boston in 2008 for college, an experience that inspired him to launch a consulting company helping local restaurants and businesses better serve Chinese customers.

Zeng Wen, a 24-year-old who works part time as a tour guide for Chinese-speakers in Chicago, said she has noticed recent efforts to reach out to Chinese tourists, such as the Hilton hotel chain’s “Hilton Huanying” program, which derives its name from the Chinese words for “welcome.”

But Zhe Zhang, a 36-year-old from Guangzhou who visited Los Angeles this year, said he didn’t see any obvious outreach to Chinese visitors, outside of Chinese-run establishments. The most intimidating part, he said, was ordering food with his basic grasp of English.

“If possible, restaurants could provide a simple Chinese menu or pictured menu,” Zhang suggested.

Cities can’t afford to be caught flat-footed as China’s growing middle class – almost nonexistent two decades ago – flexes its spending power, industry experts said.

WORTH TALKIN’ ABOUT SATURDAY, APRIL 1, 2017

LAS VEGAS – Filmmaker Christopher Nolan said that despite speculation to the contrary, his upcoming World War II epic “Dunkirk” is not going to play at the Cannes Film Festival.

Nolan said that the film will not be done by the time films are lighting up the Croisette at the esteemed festival, now in its 70th year. The Cannes Film Festival runs from May 17 through May 28, and official selections will be announced April 13.

Telling the story of the famed evacuation of Allied soldiers in May and June of 1940, “Dunkirk” is set for release in North American theaters July 21.

Actress Lucy Boynton (left), director Osgood Perkins, actress Kiernan Shipka and actress Emma Roberts attend a special screening March 22 of “The Blackcoat’s Daughter” at Landmark Sunshine Cinema in New York.

Anthony Perkins’ son follows in father’s horror footsteps NEW YORK – Some might say the horror genre is in Oz Perkins’ genes.

The actor, whose father, Anthony Perkins, starred in “Psycho,” is making his directorial debut this spring with the psychological thriller “The Blackcoat’s Daughter.” He said he was inspired by the classic film “Rosemary’s Baby.”

“That’s a very glamorous movie where a lot of the tension is paid to silence and color and texture and glamour, look, beauty, frailty. And so keeping with those sort of concepts and those feelings, those vibes, I set out to just sort of to make something like that that was going to be sort of a sad movie disguised as a horror movie,” he said.

Perkins also wrote the film, which stars Lucy Boynton, Emma Roberts and Kiernan Shipka of “Mad Men.” Shipka said she jumped at the chance to be a part of the female-led project.

“I think I’ve been super lucky to fall into projects even like this that have really strong, interesting, cool and creepy female leads,” she said.

“The Blackcoat’s Daughter” follows two teens who are terrorized by dark, supernatural forces during winter break at their boarding school.

“I’ve always been really terrible with horror films,” Boynton said. “I scare really easily and can’t stand all the violence and gore. So it was so exciting reading a script that had all of those horrific elements to it but was so much more about the characters’ experience. So it’s much more a film that’s about grief and loss that uses horror as a kind a vehicle to drive that. So you kind of get the best of both worlds, doing a really beautiful film while also having all the blood and guts that you need.”

EASTON, Pa. – Dandelion yellow has reason to be blue.

Crayola announced Friday, National Crayon Day, that it’s replacing the color dandelion in its 24-pack with a crayon in “the blue family.”

The company said it will leave it to fans to come up with a name for the replacement color.

It’s only the third time in Crayola’s long history that it has retired one or more colors, and the first time it’s swapped out a color in its box of 24.

Other colors that previously got the boot include maize, raw umber and orange yellow.

Crayola crayons were first produced in 1903 by Binney & Smith Co. Crayola is based in Easton, Pennsylvania, and is a subsidiary of Hallmark Cards Inc., headquartered in Kansas City, Missouri.

Journey keyboardist talks reunion with Steve Perry

DAYTON, Ohio – Journey keyboardist Jonathan Cain said former singer Steve Perry will be in attendance when the band is inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Cain said that “the ceremony is the first time we’re going to get to see Steve Perry in a long time.” As for the prospects of Per-

ry performing with the band, Cain said that, as far as they know, Perry is “just going to accept the award and then skedaddle.”

He said current singer Arnel Pineda will “represent well.”

Perry led the band to the height of its popularity in the 1980s with hits such as “Don’t Stop Believin’” and “Faithfully.”

Journey will go into the Rock Hall on April 7 alongside Yes, Electric Light Orchestra, Joan Baez, Tupac Shakur and Pearl Jam.

Grant, Ingram to get stars on Music City Walk of Fame

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Christian music singer Amy Grant and Nashville philanthropist Martha R. Ingram will be honored with stars on the Music City Walk of Fame next month in Tennessee.

The new stars will bring the total on the Walk of Fame to 76. Inductees are recognized for significant contributions to preserving Nashville’s musical heritage and for their contributions through music or other industry collaboration.

The Walk of Fame was created in 2006 on Nashville’s Music Mile, which connects downtown to Music Row. The inductees are represented by permanent sidewalk medallions displayed in a star and guitar design.

Creative space

Rooms that inspire

S

By KATHERINE ROTH • The Associated Press

paces where creativity happens are utterly unlike other rooms, artists and designers say. Whether at home or elsewhere, these deeply personal spaces often feel like they’re in flux, with interiors more curated than decorated. They often feature natural objects and personal totems. They can feel messy, but also like a window into an artist’s mind.

“I am always mesmerized by what goes on in these creative spaces. They are very special and often very private.

The hardest part is convincing people to let you in,” said Paul Barbera, who has photographed more than 200 studios of both established and up-and-coming designers, architects and artists around the world. His most recent book is “Where They Create, Japan” (Frame Publishers, Amsterdam).

Matthew Waldman, founder of a watch company called Nooka, is one of the designers featured in the book.

“I like to have a lot of stimulation in my creative space, with things to touch and look at, things that inspire me, and lots of plants,” Waldman said.

Louesa Roebuck, who, with Sarah Lonsdale, wrote and photographed “Foraged Flora” (Ten Speed Press), featuring images and descriptions of the workplaces of various California “creatives,” says “creative spaces reflect an intersection between the highly personal and professional.”

The studios, ateliers and other spaces explored in these books vary widely, but many include plants or pets, quirky objects, and odd assortments of objects grouped in visual vignettes.

“A lot of the things we collect connect us to other places and times, like relics or fossils, shells, stones or bits of inspiration,” Roebuck said. “My studio is full of totems.”

The rooms also tend to have plenty of natural light or access to the outdoors.

“My home is very pared down, but

Fluid display space

“The more fluid the display space the better,” she said. “Consider putting up a bulletin board or gallery ledges so you can refresh what kind of work you have up depending on the projects you’re working on.”

Let nature in

Natural light and natural objects “connect us to the universe and stimulate the brain. If there’s no outdoor space nearby, consider including plants or even a bowl of fruit. Living natural things really change the feel of a space,” Weiner said.

Personal and inspirational totems

“In a creative work space, anything

“Favorite colors or textiles, photos from the desk in my studio area is covered in things,” Lonsdale said. “The most creative spaces seem to have the messiest desks. I love those desks. And many creative people spread things out across walls or floors. It’s a way to visualize.

It’s work in progress.”

Rachael Weiner, senior style and market editor at Real Simple magazine, said anyone can foster creativity in their home office or studio space.

“While a home is a place to foster tranquility, to relax and recharge, a

creative space is the opposite. You want it to be comfortable, but you also want the energy to be dynamic,” she said.

Some of her tips follow:

Permission to be messy

“In a home you want things as orderly as possible, but in a creative space you want to give yourself permission to diversify the way you organize things.

Contact lists should be in order, but you might want to make stacks of books or

a happy family vacation or objects that bring back special memories. These help inspire.”

Expand your image of work space

“Depending on the kind of work you do, a hammock chair or cushions on the floor might be a better fit than an office chair,” she said.

“Unlike the home, which has to cater to everyone in it, creative space is a personal realm, filled with whatever it is – and organized in whatever way you want – that sparks your creativity.”

shaded areas, around pathways and driveways, in newly cultivated ground – even under decks, despite the scarcity of sunlight.

Weeds have a number of things in common, said Sandra Mason, an extension horticulturist with University of Illinois Extension.

“They go through their life cycle rapidly, flower quickly, produce vast quantities of seeds, and have some seed adaptations for travel by wind, water or animals,” Mason said in a fact sheet.

Soil movement and changes in

water content invigorate annual seeds, Peachey said. “Most weed seeds don’t live particularly long, a few years perhaps. But there always are a few that can linger.”

A dandelion may produce 15,000 seeds a year, purslane more than 52,000, while pigweed can leave behind over 117,000, according to Colorado State University Extension horticulturists.

Purslane and pigweed seeds can persist in the soil for 20 and 40 years respectively, they said.

For tree lovers and woodworkers, there’s beauty in a burl

By LEE REICH

The Associated Press As you glance up into tree limbs, perhaps searching for some sign of spring in a swelling flower bud, your sight might be arrested by fat, rounded growths on the bark.

On some trees, these hard, woody outgrowths – called burls – stand out on an otherwise clear trunk like a goiter. On other trees, the whole trunk might be covered with these masses.

If you’ve never noticed these growths before, don’t be alarmed.

They cause little or no harm to the tree.

What makes a burl

That said, burls might – just might – indicate the tree has been under stress. All sorts of things have been implicated as the cause of burls. For instance, a burl could grow in response to a limb rubbing against the bark, to chewing by insects or some other physical injury. Perhaps the tree experienced or is experiencing some environmental stress – temperatures too cold or too hot, not enough food or not enough sunlight, for example.

Diseases also have been held responsible for burls. However, no pathogens are found inside burls when they are cut open. Still, a pathogen could have done its job of inducing a burl, and then skipped on to other adventures.

We also could blame genetics, because some tree species are more prone to developing burls than others.

Redwoods are renowned for their burls, which are often sold as souvenirs.

Odd stem growth

We do know, though, how burls develop. Along any stem are buds that can elongate to become shoots, and each of these shoots similarly has buds that can become shoots themselves. Obviously, not all buds on a plant stretch out; some remain dormant, at least for a while.

In the case of a burl, instead of dormant buds expanding into straight shoots, they grow inward, twisting and turning under the bark and never emerging as branches.

On the rare occasion when a shoot does elongate from a burl on a mature tree, the shoot usually expires from

lack of sufficient light. Interestingly, redwood burls frequently sprout when cut from the tree and placed in a pan of water, almost as if the water reminds the cells that they can be shoots. On a tree, though, cells within a burl generally just keep dividing with no obvious purpose or benefit to the tree.

Beauty within

Benefit to us humans is another story, though. Cut open a burl, and instead of straight grain you find waves and swirls of wood, marbled and feathered wood, perhaps some “eyes” staring back at you. Woodworkers lust for burls, especially for turning on a lathe, where the appearance of the swirling tissue need not be constrained within the straight and sharp-edged geometry of sawn lumber.

Burls also frequently are sliced into veneer.

The beauty within a burl and the theories for what causes them could prompt you to try to induce them on a tree. Yet no one has been able to reliably do so. So burls are harvested from trees on which they have naturally formed. Because harvesting

Weed seeds are among the most patient organisms in nature. Many weeds can produce thousands of seeds per plant per year, and those seeds might lie dormant for decades, just waiting for the right conditions to sprout.

If you want to control weeds, then find where these seeds accumulate – in “seed banks.”

“Gardeners should care because that’s where all their seeds are coming from,” said Ed Peachey, a weed science specialist with Oregon State University Extension. “If you don’t prevent weeds from producing seeds, then you’ll wind up with large seed banks, and always fighting with the weeds that emerge from those seed banks.”

Weeds are unwanted because they are considered unattractive in manicured yards, they spread quickly, and they muscle aside desirable plants from life-giving sunlight, nutrients and moisture.

“Understand what you have in your garden and then decide what to get rid of,” Peachey said. “Some weeds are incredibly well adapted to gardens, and they compete.”

Weed seeds or banks accumulate in neglected lawns, near downspouts and

germinated after its seeds lay frozen for 32,000 years in the Siberian tundra, said Russian scientists who used radiocarbon dating to validate their claim.

Weed management options are many and varied. “Hand-weed in small spaces,” Peachey said. “Use organic mulches to keep weeds from emerging and producing seeds later. Create stale seed banks by disturbing the soil, using a flaming tool to burn off whatever weeds sprout up, and then do your planting.”

It takes two or three weeks for seeds to emerge though, so that scorchedearth policy may delay spring gardening.

“Use specialized hoes,” Peachey said.

“Triangular hoes or hoop hoes are good at getting the entire weed root out.”

Peachey doesn’t recommend using chemicals in vegetable gardens unless you’re working with more than a tenth of an acre. “Very few [chemicals] that are labeled for garden use are practical,” he said.

Be observant. When weeds make seeds, they make them fast.

“It’s important to watch weeds through the entire summer season,” Peachey said. “If some get by, and if you can’t dig them out, then at least cut off their seed heads. It’s cheaper to get rid of the seeds than it is to fight the weeds.”

Tips on staying active after 60 Dear Doctor: I’m about to turn 60, and when I spend the afternoon playing with my 7- and 9-year-old grandsons, I’m wiped out. Is there anything that I can do to feel and be more energetic? I want to be an active grandmother and not just sit on the sidelines.

Dear Reader: We’d like to begin by reassuring you – it’s the rare adult who can match the activity level of a young child, who is basically a marvel of perpetual motion. However, your question does address certain realities of older adulthood.

As we age, particularly when we reach our 60s and beyond, certain changes begin to take place in our bodies. We experience a decrease in muscle mass, which results in a loss of both strength and balance. A change to sleep patterns, including less deep sleep and more frequent awakenings during the night, can cause fatigue, a drop in mental sharpness and even lead to depression.

Add in the various other changes that take place in the aging heart and brain, and the result is often a feeling of low energy.

Lifestyle plays a role as well. For many adults, older age or retirement means less daily contact with a variety of people, less decision-making, a lower level of physical activity and even less time spent outdoors.

As you suspected, there are some simple steps you can take to feel better.

• Eating a diet based on lean proteins, healthful fats, a variety of high-fiber fruits and vegetables, and limited added sugars.

• Drink enough water. It’s easy to forget to stay adequately hydrated. (And no, diet and caffeinated beverages don’t count. In fact, they can act as diuretics and result in net fluid loss.)

• No smoking. Not only does smoking tobacco quite dramatically cut down on

SUDOKU

ASK THE DOCTORS Elizabeth Ko and Eve Glazier your lung capacity, it is a risk factor in heart disease and many cancers.

• Get enough vitamin D, which is essential to bone health and helps with depression. Spending time in sunlight or taking a supplement are necessary for adequate vitamin D. • Make daily exercise a priority. Walking is an excellent way to get your blood flowing and your muscles moving. It takes no equipment, is low-stress, and can be done with a partner or in a group. Yoga is a great for both the body and the mind.

Weight-bearing exercises are also important to muscle and bone strength, and to stability.

• Avoid constipation. Diet, exercise and adequate water will put you on the path to regularity. If you find you’re still having trouble, the occasional use of a fiber supplement and a stool softener can be helpful.

• Be creative about getting enough sleep. Daytime naps can make a big difference. If napping isn’t in your skill set, simply taking the time to lie down with your eyes closed for five or 10 minutes can leave you refreshed.

Taken as a whole, these changes to your daily routine can help you feel more energetic – and help you to keep up with your grandsons.

• Eve Glazier, M.D., MBA, is an internist and assistant professor of medicine at UCLA Health. Elizabeth Ko, M.D., is an internist and primary care physician at UCLA Health.

Dear Abby: I wanted to show my elderly co-worker some photos I had taken of the countryside. Without thinking, I handed her my phone so she could browse through them while I went to get coffee. When I returned, my phone was on my desk and she was nowhere to be found.

Only then did I realize she must have seen the many nude pictures of me and my husband. (We like to send each other naughty selfies.) What’s more, the photos are clown-themed – rainbow wigs, red noses, makeup, etc.

My co-worker has never said anything, but now I sense she’s avoiding me. Should I pull her aside and see if she wants to talk about anything? Pretend it never happened? Casually mention “the circus” and see if she gives a reaction? – Naughty In

DEAR ABBY Once again, I can’t let April Jeanne Fools’ Day Phillips pass without printing a few of the more “interesting” letters that have crossed my desk during the past year: Dear Abby: I own a champion Airedale terrier I have been trying to breed for more than a year. Finding her the right match has proven difficult. But recently, we found a perfect match. Their genetics are superb, and they seem to like each other.

The male’s owner and I took the two dogs on a dog run last month and, except for a bit of mud, it was a perfect afternoon.

There have been other afternoons and evenings.

The problem is the male’s owner. She will allow her dog to breed mine if she and I also “breed.” She claims it is the only true way to know if our canines are a perfect match.

I’m not a prude, but since my divorce, I haven’t dated much. The woman is attractive, and I’m lonely, but her proposition felt odd to me. And if the breeding is a regular thing, would that be good for the dogs? What should I do? – Overwhelmed In

Algonquin Estate Sale Sondra Radvanovsky, an American-Canadian soprano who specializes in 19th-century Italian opera, said, “When I was signing up for the University of Southern California’s music program, I flipped a coin to decide my major. If it came up heads, it would be flute -- tails would be voice.”

Bridge players like to find plays that leave an opponent feeling that it is heads I lose, tails you win. How did South do that to West in this deal? South was in three no-trump, and West started with three rounds of hearts.

When West overcalled two hearts, North made a negative double. This promised four spades and some values. South went for the vulnerable game.

South started with six winners: two hearts and four clubs. He needed to establish three more tricks. It looked as though West had the spade and diamond aces, so declarer had to get those extra winners without letting West get in with one ace, dislodge South’s last heart, regain the lead with his other ace and cash the last two hearts. What was the solution?

It was to impale West on the tines of Morton’s fork. At trick four, South led his spade five. How could West have defended? If he took the trick, South would have had three spade winners. So West played low.

Now declarer returned to his hand with a club and led a low diamond.

If West had won with his ace, South would have taken one spade and two diamonds. When West ducked again, South won with dummy’s queen and played a spade to his queen, getting two spades and one diamond. It was heads South won, tails West lost.

SCHAFFER HAS LOFTY GOALS

Prairie Ridge junior Natasha Schaffer practices jumping during track practice March 23 at Prairie Ridge High School in Crystal Lake.

GIRLS TRACK & FIELD: SEASON PREVIEW

STATE-TITLE ASPIRATIONS Girls track & field: 5 to watch

Cailey Ciezadlo Crystal Lake South, sr.

Ciezadlo won the 200 meters at the McHenry County Meet and the Fox Valley Conference Meet. She took second in the FVC 100 to Woodstock’s Brianna Verbeeck, who now runs in the Kishwaukee River Conference. Ciezadlo will run at NCAA Division III Carthage College.

Tabor Gleason Cary-Grove, jr.

Gleason gives the Trojans some versatility with jumps and hurdles, although her best event is high jump. She won the McHenry County Meet high jump title and has qualified for Class 3A state twice in that event. She made the finals last year and made 5-5, but finished two spots out of a medal at 11th.

Syd Heidtke Woodstock, so.

Heidtke turned in a standout freshman season as she consistently knocked off time in the 300 low hurdles. She won the McHenry County Meet (in a time that was faster than the state-qualifying standard) and won the FVC 300 hurdles in 46.63, then ran 45.49 at the Class 2A Antioch Sectional. But she suffered a broken foot in practice and could not run at state.

Natasha Schaffer Prairie Ridge, jr.

Schaffer had a breakout sophomore season that culminated with her taking seventh in the Class 3A triple jump (37-93/4) at the IHSA Girls Track and Field State Meet.

She set the McHenry County Meet record and jumped her career-best (38-6) to win the Huntley Sectional. Schaffer recently took fourth in the Class 3A triple jump at the Illinois Prep Top Times Indoor Classic and will be tough to beat this spring in the triple and long jumps.

Cora Uidl Woodstock, sr.

Uidl cleared 12-0 in the pole vault last year and made 11-3 to take sixth in Class 2A at the state meet. She had a solid indoor season and made 11-9 at the Illinois Prep Top Times Indoor Classic to take third in Class 2A. – Joe Stevenson

PR’s Schaffer sets her sights on the triple jump crown

By JOE STEVENSON

atasha Schaffer retired from gymnastics in the seventh grade after more than a decade of training and competing.

All that running, jumping and tumbling still is paying dividends for the Prairie Ridge junior. Schaffer applies the athletic skills she used for years, as well as the mental discipline, in track and field.

Schaffer has big aspirations for this season after taking seventh in the Class 3A triple jump at last year’s IHSA Girls Track and Field State Meet. Schaffer’s indoor performances have been close to what she finished with last outdoor season, including her 36-11 to take fourth at the Illinois Prep Top Times Indoor Classic.

“I feel a lot more prepared this year,” Schaffer said. “I feel like after the Top Times meet I’m in a good situation, and I’m ready to take on the year.”

Former gymnasts, such as Schaffer, often flourish in track and field.

Sprinters, jumpers and pole vaulters, those in events that require explosive elements, often have gymnastics background. Schaffer knows her gymnastics training has played a big part in her development as a jumper.

She started at age 2 with her twin sister, Katarina, who still competes and was on Prairie Ridge Co-op’s team, which has won three consecutive IHSA state championships.

“When we go to track meets, my mom (Debra) would joke around that it’s just a ex-gymnastics reunion,” Schaffer said. “She’d see all the parents of ex-gymnasts, we’d see a ton of people we used to do gymnastics with. [Gymnastics] made me more aware of my body and more aware of what I want it to do, and how to fix the little things. It made me stronger. It helps being dedicated to track, because in gymnastics you have to be very dedicated; it’s long hours doing the same thing over and over and over again. That’s the exact same thing with track.”

Schaffer went 37-93/4 to take seventh last year at state. She won the McHenry County Meet with a record jump, won the Fox Valley Conference

Sarah Nader – snader@shawmedia.com

Prairie Ridge junior Natasha Schaffer practices jumping during track practice March 23 at Prairie Ridge High School in Crystal Lake. and Huntley Sectional titles, and also qualified for state in the long jump.

“It’s great, she’s basically picking up where she left off (last year),” Wolves coach Dave Hartl said. “She put in a lot of hard work over the summer and through the school year. Even while she was playing basketball, when they didn’t have practice, she was coming to track when she could.”

Schaffer competed in some USA Track and Field events last summer.

She also worked out at Crystal Lake South, where Gators coach Matt Dunker, himself a state medalist triple jumper from Marengo, had open pits for athletes from the area.

Schaffer said she maintained her weightlifting routine from the past, but focused on adding weight with

her lifts to increase her strength and explosiveness. She has heard from several NCAA Division I schools and puts Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin, Missouri and Virginia Tech at the top of her list.

“She has a good chance,” Hartl said. “Her work ethic is there; she’s a smart kid. She never settles, she keeps trying to push herself.”

Schaffer established lofty goals for this season. She wants to reach 40-0 in the triple jump and 19-0 in the long jump. As far as state, she wants to win the triple and finish in the top three in the long jump.

“She’s excited. I’m excited.

(Assistant) coach (Delmar) Dade’s excited to work with her,” Hartl said. “We’re going to keep it rolling and not change too much up. We’re going to keep hammering away.”

4 BASEBALL: PRAIRIE RIDGE 3, FREMD 2

Masini in command in 2nd start Wolves pitcher much improved in nonconference win

OUTSIDE THE BOX SCORE q UNSUNG HERO

Alex Powers

Prairie Ridge, so., DH

Powers reached base three times in four plate appearances, going 2 for 3 with a double and one RBI batting cleanup.

Powers’ double in the top of the third gave the Wolves their first run, driving in Ryan Schmit.

By ALEX KANTECKI

akantecki@shawmedia.com WHEELING – Prairie Ridge’s Robbie Masini was unhappy with his first start of the season against Palatine, a 10-run loss in which he lasted only three innings.

On Friday, the 6-foot3 senior pieced together a performance both he and coach Glen Pecoraro could be proud Robbie Masini of. The Wolves righthander tossed five shutout innings, allowing only three hits and striking out six to lead Prairie Ridge to a 3-2 nonconference win against Fremd at Heritage Park.

Masini (1-1) didn’t walk a batter and threw 79 pitches, issuing a first-pitch strike to 10 of 17 batters faced. He came out after the fifth inning with Pecoraro wanting to get extra work for Ryan Schmit with Fox Valley Conference play starting next week.

“Today was a good bounce back for me,” Masini said. “I thought it was my

q THE NUMBER

Runs and walks allowed by Prairie Ridge starting pitcher Robbie Masini over five innings.

q AND ANOTHER THING ...

Prairie Ridge catcher Scott Stetz used the turf field at Heritage Park to his advantage, bouncing a one-hopper to shortstop Michael Patterson in the bottom of the second to complete a “strike-him-out, throw-him-out” double play. Fremd’s Jordan Albano was called out on a check swing, one of six strikeouts for Masini. curveball. That pitch felt really good today, and I thought I could use the curveball with my fastball and be able to go from there. Defensively, we made plays and just got outs. I felt much better out there today.”

Pecoraro credited Masini with being able to command all three of his pitches – fastball, change-up and curveball – and getting ahead of batters,

which enabled him to use any one of his three pitches for a timely strikeout.

“Robbie pitched outstanding for us, which was great to see,” Pecoraro said.

“We chipped away enough runs to take a 3-0 lead, and on a cold day like this, a 3-0 lead sometimes feels like a 10-0 lead.

“He had all three pitches working for a strike. He was throwing both his breaking ball and change-up in some really tough counts, and he was getting some ground balls and some weak fly balls.”

With Prairie Ridge up, 3-0, Schmit entered in the sixth and got two quick outs, but the next batter reached on an error. A walk, a single and a walk scored Fremd’s first run, forcing Pecoraro to go to left-handed closer Scott Nygren.

Nygren walked the next batter, cutting the Wolves’ lead to 3-2, before striking out Will McCabe. Fremd loaded the bases again in the seventh with one out, but Nygren got an infield pop out and a strikeout to send Prairie Ridge (5-2) to its third straight victory.

Nygren struck out three and allowed two hits with two walks over his 11/3 innings for the save. Fremd’s Victor Fujiu took the loss, giving up two runs (one earned) on six hits and three walks over five innings.

On offense, Alex Powers (2 for 3) gave Prairie Ridge a 1-0 lead in the top of the third inning with a curving

PREP ROUNDUP

Rosing tosses shutout NORTHWEST HERALD Jake Rosing pitched a complete-game shutout Friday night as the Richmond-Burton baseball team beat South Doyle (Tennessee), 3-0, in the Heritage Tournament in Tennessee. Rosing struck out 12 and didn’t walk a batter, while giving up only three hits in the seven-inning, 95-pitch outing, helping the Rockets improve to 2-4 on the season.

Leadoff man Bobby Bannon led the Rockets with a pair of hits, including a double, and a run scored. Brandon Bannon and Joey Liston drove in a run apiece, Jake Rybarski had a double and scored, and Kyle Klicker went 1 for 3 with a run scored.

Crystal Lake South 12, Mount Vernon 3:

At Marion, the Gators (7-0) got big production from the middle of their lineup as they beat the Rams on the final day of their southern trip.

Michael Swiatly was 3 for 4 with three RBIs and a triple out of the No. 6 spot. No. 3 man Brian Fuentes was 2 for 3 with two doubles and two RBIs, while cleanup hitter Nick Wolski was 2 for 4 with two RBIs. Riley Tannhauser threw 62/3 innings, striking out four and allowing eight hits, for the victory.

Noah Tyrrell had two hits and Griffin Bright, Kory Olsen and Scott Skwarek each drove in a run for the Gators.

Okaw Valley 5, Alden-Hebron 2: At Okaw Valley, Austin Stauss went 2 for 3 with a run scored to lead the Giants (1-3) in a nonconference loss. Tyler Oman, Justin Steel and Jack Wagner each had a hit, with Steel driving in a run and Wagner scoring once.

Logan Grove took the loss for Alden-Hebron, giving up three earned runs in 22/3 innings. Grove allowed only two hits and struck out three batters, but he walked four.

double down the left-field line to score Schmit, who reached on an infield single. “[Fujiu] kind of quick-pitched me on that one, but I was just looking to drive a run in,” said Powers, a sophomore. “We weren’t on the board yet, so I was looking to drive him in. I kind of had a rough start, but everyone has their lulls – it’s a part of the game. I just tried to work past that and make adjustments.”

Zach Teegen smacked a one-out double to left in the fifth inning, stealing third and scoring on an error by Fremd catcher Nate Hill, whose throw went into left field.

In the sixth inning, pinch-hitter Zach Gulbransen showcased his speed.

Gulbransen, a key part of Prairie Ridge’s state championship football team, reached first base on a single, second on a throwing error and stole third before being knocked in by Colin Lamb for a 3-0 lead.

The Wolves, who have won the past two FVC Fox titles, play Cary-Grove on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday.

Prairie Ridge lost its top three starters – Jon Tieman, Ethan Routzahn and Joey Hanley – to graduation.

“We lost a lot of guys,” Pecoraro said. “Our top three (starters) are anywhere from 1, 2 and 3. We’re just trying to pencil them as far as matchups go and who we think they match up best.”

ON CAMPUS Barry Bottino ninth inning and induced a game-ending double play with the bases loaded.

The 5-1 final was Valpo’s first victory in West Lafayette, Indiana, since 1977.

For the season, Tieman has a 2.61 ERA and allowed two walks in 10 appearances.

“Coming in, I definitely didn’t expect to be the closer,” Tieman said. “[Coach] said I was going to be a late-inning guy. I didn’t know if that was closer, Jon Tieman setup or whatever. As the games came around, he just put me in that situation and I had to roll with it.”

Schmack, who spent nine seasons in the White Sox, Texas Rangers and Detroit Tigers organizations, said mental toughness and a strong repertoire of pitches are two of a closer’s best attributes.

“Right from Day 1, Jon had a different attitude,” said Schmack, who

noted Tieman’s velocity is in the high 80s and low 90s. “He has that quiet confidence about him. He impressed us right from the start.

“I asked him before the season, ‘Are you going to be able to do this?’ ” Schmack said. “He said, ‘Yeah, sure.’ ” After the loss at Western Kentucky, Tieman said he got plenty of support from teammates and coaches. A fellow pitcher, in an effort to boost Tieman’s mood after the defeat, said he gave up a much longer home run in his first college outing.

Schmack added another boost before the team’s second game of the WKU series.

“The next day, coach Schmack came up to me and said if we have the situation like last night with a save opportunity, ‘I’m going to put you out there,’ ” Tieman said. “That gave me more confidence.”

Strong Redbird debut: Woodstock grad Grace Beattie opened the outdoor track and field season for Illinois State by winning the 3,000-meter steeplechase last weekend at the Joe Walker Invite at the University of Mississippi.

Beattie, a freshman, won the race in 10 minutes, 48.04 seconds. Her time

was the ninth-fastest in ISU history and ranks 17th nationally this season.

Beattie’s time is the seventh-best this season on the NCAA Division I West region leaderboard.

Martens helps Kentucky: McHenry West grad Alex Martens has started all 29 games this season for Kentucky’s softball team at second base, helping the Wildcats (23-6) to a No. 16 national ranking this week.

Martens is batting .281 with 15 RBIs and a pair of home runs, including a walk-off homer in her first collegiate game. She also has a team-leading six doubles this season.

Army’s Smith shines: Freshman Keagan Smith (Huntley) won the 1,500 run last weekend for Army in an outdoor track meet in Philadelphia.

Smith won the event at the Penn Challenge in 3:48.31, edging senior teammate Trevor Touchton’s time of 3:48.8. As a team, Army finished second with 134 points in the six-team event.

BLACKHAWKS 3, BLUE JACKETS 1

Hawks hit the 50-win mark for only the 2nd time

By MARK LAZERUS

mlazerus@suntimes.com CHICAGO – The guy on the other end of the rink probably is going to win the Vezina Trophy as the league’s best goaltender. He entered the game with a goals-against average of 1.97, and hadn’t lost in regulation in more than a month, riding a 10-0-2 streak. But Corey Crawford wasn’t worried about outdueling Sergei Bobrovsky. It doesn’t work that way.

Corey “I mean, yeah, I Crawford know who’s on the other side, but it’s about playing hard and winning hockey games,” Crawford said Friday night after the Blackhawks’ 3-1 victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets. “For me, it’s playing against their attack. I couldn’t care less who’s on the other side.”

That sums up these past handful of games for the Hawks pretty well.

It really doesn’t matter who they’re playing, but how they’re playing. The fact that Friday’s win was their second straight over an Eastern Conference powerhouse and Presidents’ Trophy

contender was immaterial. That their stars played like stars, their goaltending was superb, their penalty-kill was outstanding, and they played a tight, structured defensive game was all that mattered.

It was the Hawks’ 50th win of the season, marking only the second time they’ve reached that milestone (they had 52 in the 2009-10 season before going on to win their first Stanley Cup in 49 years). It also whittled the Hawks’ magic number for clinching the top seed in the Western Conference to a

mere two points, a mere formality at this point. Patrick Kane had three assists to reach the 750-point mark for his career. And Artemi Panarin had two goals to put him in position to cash in on his $1.725-million bonus again.

But again, all that matters to the Hawks is that, after a brief hiccup, they’re rounding into form in time for the postseason.

“We’re happy with what we’ve achieved in the regular season,” coach Joel Quenneville said. “That’s not what we’re looking for, but it’s certainly put us in the spot we wanted. We’re not fighting in Game 82 to get in, so it’s been a good season in that regard.”

With four games left in the season, the Hawks just need to stay healthy.

They got a brief scare early in the second period when Niklas Hjalmarsson crumpled in a heap after blocking a shot with the inside of his foot. Hjalmarsson being Hjalmarsson, he only missed one shift. But it served as a reminder that although the last four games don’t mean a heck of a lot, they still can have a major effect.

“You always keep your fingers crossed when something like that happens,” Marian Hossa said.

After jumping all over the Pittsburgh Penguins early Wednesday, the Hawks again pounced on one of the league’s top teams, as Panarin scored a power-play goal 32 seconds into the game. Columbus tied it at 17:15 with a power-play goal of its own, Nick Foligno smacking in a feed from Sam Gagner. But the Hawks responded just 22 seconds later, with Kane threading a pass between two Blue Jackets to Hossa, who made a terrific move to beat Bobrosvky off the rush. It was Hossa’s 26th goal of the season, and his fourth in the past six games since missing two games with an injury.

Bobrovsky and Crawford put on a goaltending clinic in the third, with Crawford stopping all 14 shots he faced to keep it a one-goal game until Panarin’s empty-netter in the final minute.

“Right now, [let’s] just build that momentum and keep building our game going into playoffs,” Kane said. ”It’s obviously nice to start thinking about having home ice throughout the Western Conference finals. We feel we have a team in here that can make a deep run, and we love playing here in this building.”

The first time freshman Jon Tieman stepped on a pitcher’s mound as a college baseball player, disaster struck.

Pitching for NCAA Division I Valparaiso with a two-run, ninth-inning lead, Tieman allowed a walk-off threerun homer against Western Kentucky in February.

In his past nine appearances as the closer for Valpo, the Prairie Ridge graduate rarely has made a mistake, allowing no runs and six hits while gathering five saves, the most in the Horizon League.

“He just doesn’t make the situation too big,” Valpo coach Brian Schmack.

“We don’t like to put our guys in these situations as freshmen. We like to get them some innings in relief in some lower-leverage situations.”

Tieman, however, was a different story.

Although he never closed in high school, Tieman stood out to Valpo’s coaching staff in the preseason.

“It was mainly just throwing strikes with all my pitches,” said Tieman, who throws a fastball, curveball and change-up. “If you do that, [Schmack] won’t be mad at you.”

In his latest outing Wednesday at Purdue, Tieman pitched a scoreless

CUBS

WHITE SOX

By GORDON WITTENMYER gwittenmyer@suntimes.com

By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN dvanschouwen@suntimes.com

Left fielder Melky Cabrera echoes the sentiment we’ve heard from other White Sox players and coaches during spring training: We might be rebuilding, but we aren’t about to surrender in April.

“I always try to see the whole process in the big picture,” said Cabrera, 32, a veteran of 11 full seasons in the majors, through a translator.

“Maybe we’re [rebuilding], but we have the talent to compete.

Melky Cabrera We lost a few players, but we have a lot of talent still here.

You go out and compete because you don’t know what can happen.”

While Cabrera and Co. are bent on proving otherwise, it only figures a team that went 78-84 last season and lost Chris Sale and Adam Eaton will be worse. Because his contract is up after this season, Cabrera likely will be traded for the third time in his career, perhaps near the Aug. 1 nonwaiver deadline.

“I have no control over it,” Cabrera said. “I would love to stay here for the end of my career because I really like this team and I really like this city. Those are decisions the front office makes.”

Cabrera would do the front office a favor by having a strong first half and enhancing his trade value. He wrapped up his preparation in Arizona in a good place hitting-wise.

“My swing right now is where I want it to be,” he said.

This much is certain: Cabrera still Specialty Meats • Deli Beef • Pork • Chicken Lamb • Veal • Seafood Sandwiches • Party Trays Gaming • Beer • Wine

can hit and is paid better at $15 million this season than any Sox hitter to do it.

Cabrera began his career with the Yankees in 2005, spending four full seasons in New York, where he played center field for the 2009 World Series champions. After one season each with the Braves, Royals and Giants and two with the Blue Jays, the Sox signed him to a three-year, $42 million deal before the 2015 season.

Cabrera batted .296 with 14 homers, 42 doubles and 86 RBIs last season, and while doubling as something of a clubhouse comic, most Sox coaches and players would say he’s the one they want at bat with a game on the line.

Nevertheless, Cabrera’s name rarely came up in trade rumors during the offseason, perhaps because of where he rates among left fielders defensively. But he could become a sought-after addition for a contending team looking to inject some offense around the trade deadline.

“The only thing I can control is how I perform on the field,” he said.

Notes: Left-hander Giovanni Soto and outfielder Rymer Liriano were outrighted to Triple-A Charlotte and cleared waivers to create room on the 40-man roster in advance of Opening Day. The moves allow the Sox to purchase contracts of catcher Geovany Soto, righthander Anthony Swarzak and outfielder Cody Asche, nonroster invitees to spring training who are expected to be on the Opening Day roster. ... Manager Rick Renteria’s lineup had the look of a potential starting nine for the opener Monday against the visiting Tigers: Tyler Saladino 2B, Tim Anderson SS, Melky Cabrera LF, Jose Abreu 1B, Todd Frazier 3B, Asche DH, Avisail Garcia RF, C Geovany Soto, Jacob May CF.

HOUSTON – After the Cubs fell behind, 3-1, in the World Series last fall, first baseman Anthony Rizzo went to work on the clubhouse.

“All ‘Rocky’ stuff,” he told one of his co-conspirators. “We’re just going to go the distance and ingrain that in everyone’s head.”

The music and the movie played before Game 5, and they won. He intensified the pregame show for Game 6, and they won again.

“Every game. It was 5, 6 and 7,” he said, “playing motivational stuff, and each game was a little more animated.”

Animated. By the time the team gathered Anthony Rizzo for Game 7, Rizzo was naked, jumping on things, “animated.”

“The Full Monty was Game 7,” he said.

And what was Kris Bryant – the other half of Bryzzo – doing?

“Focusing,” Rizzo said. “Getting ready for the game. Getting loose at the same time. Not as loose.”

“He’s laughing at Rizzo.” That’s what he was doing, manager Joe Maddon said.

“I think we both have our own ways of doing things,” Bryant said, smiling.

Maddon: “They could not be more different. To me that’s kind of the fun part about it, too.”

When it comes to Bryant and Rizzo, the most fun for Maddon is connecting the All-Star hitters at the hip in his lineup, whether it’s in the 2-3 spots, where they’ll be Opening Night on Sunday, or 3-4 as the occasion might inspire.

And make no mistake: As the Cubs’ 2017 title defense opens in St. Louis, the Bryzzo Souvenir Co. opens for business again – paired in MLB commercials again, their on-field and clubhouse chemistry unmistakable, their popularity never higher.

And their effect on the Cubs’ chances this year only grows as they emerge as one of the top right-left, middle-ofthe-order tandems in the game.

“If you like it now, it’s going to keep getting better,” said Maddon, who brings up such historic comparisons as Boston’s Manny Ramirez and David Ortiz, and San Francisco’s Jeff Kent and Barry Bonds when talking about his guys’ potential for the next five years or so hitting together – offering a few allowances for Bonds being “on

another planet” and his pair not quite being at Manny-Papi levels yet.

“Not yet, but they can be,” he said.

“They can be.”

They might already be the best right-left/left-right Cubs combo since the days of Billy Williams-Ron Santo or Williams-Ernie Banks.

The reigning MVP in Bryant. The three-time All-Star in Rizzo, who finished in the top four in MVP voting the past two years.

Ryan Braun-Prince Fielder, 2.0. A neoChase Utley-Ryan Howard. Yin and yang.

Beavis and Butthead.

Or just Bryzzo.

“We’ve got to obviously do it again and again, keep doing it,” said Rizzo, 27, who finished three spots behind Bryant in MVP Kris Bryant voting last year. “Over time, I think it will be something. But right now, it’s just us playing baseball.”

In the meantime, their relationship gets stronger in a baseball sense, “business” sense (check out MLB’s new Bryzzo commercials) and personally despite opposing personalities.

“He’s just a big old goofball, a big old kid,” said Bryant, 25, the homebody and college honor student once considered a Rhodes Scholarship candidate. “At times, you think he’s the youngest one of the whole bunch here, just because he has a ton of fun playing the game.

“He’s also someone I look up to and learn from every day. But we’re completely different.”

Bryant said Rizzo tells him he wears “too much free stuff” and needs to go out more.

He said he agrees to a point. “I don’t need to go out more,” he said. “I like being at home.”

Rizzo can’t even get Bryant to join him for a beer.

“Kris never has drank one sip of alcohol,” Rizzo said.

Not even after promising he would if they won the World Series. “He says he did, but I don’t think so,” Rizzo said.

If there’s any jealousy about MVPs for one guy or Gold Gloves and Silver Sluggers for the other, it doesn’t show.

“The better he gets, the better he makes me,” Rizzo said, “just by watching his approach and talking to him about the way he thinks, all the little things.”

The one thing they have in common, said Maddon: “Both of these guys have not arrived at their zenith yet offensively.”

NCAA MEN’S BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT: FINAL FOUR

UNC, Oregon try to Defense got Gonzaga, get it right this time South Carolina here

By JIM O’CONNELL

By EDDIE PELLS

The Associated Press

The Associated Press GLENDALE, Ariz. – Roy Williams could hear his own footsteps as he padded through the near-silent locker room, still trying to wrap his mind around a question that couldn’t be answered: What do you say to a group of players who did nothing wrong, but lost anyway?

In some form or another, that question has lingered at North Carolina all season. With a win over Oregon in the Final Four on Saturday, the Tar Heels (31-7) will be back to the title game, where, last year, Villanova unraveled their dreams with one dagger of a shot – a game-winning 3 with the buzzer sounding.

“The most inadequate feeling I’ve ever had in my life,” Williams called the aftermath of the game. “What I did is, I tried to tell them, ‘Let’s focus on using this feeling as fuel, as motivation, to work extremely hard in the offseason.’ ” Most of the key players from last year’s Tar Heels – Joel Berry II, Isaiah Hicks and Justin Jackson among them – are back. They have a group-texting channel named, simply, “Redemption.”

The North Carolina players have walked the fine line this season between the natural inclination to dwell on the painful loss, and the impossible task of forgetting it.

“A dream was to get here,” Jackson said. “It wasn’t necessarily to get back here and get back what we thought we won last year.”

Oregon (33-5) had title dreams last year, too.

The Ducks were a No. 1 seed, but in an NCAA tournament that veered off the rails, guard Dillon Brooks got upbraided by the losing coach in the Sweet 16, Duke’s Mike Krzyzewski, who lectured him in the handshake line for jacking up (and making) an uncontested 3 while the teams were running out the clock. Then, the top-seeded Ducks ran into Buddy Hield in the Elite Eight.

They looked primed for another run this season, then big man Chris Boucher went down with a torn-up knee in the Pac-12 tournament, and thoughts of Oregon repeating as a 1 seed went out the window.

Instead, the Ducks were seeded third and largely overlooked coming into this year’s tournament. But now, they’re two wins away from the team’s

North Carolina’s Joel Berry II dribbles the ball through coach Roy Williams’ legs during practice Friday ahead of Saturday’s NCAA tournament semifinal game against Oregon in Glendale, Ariz. second championship. The first came in 1939, the first year of the tournament.

“It was stunning when we found out that day that Chris was not going to be with us,” Ducks coach Dana Altman said. “We just had each of our guys step up and try to do a little more.”

Some things to watch when the Ducks meet the Tar Heels in Saturday night’s semifinal: Maye day: Could sophomore Luke Maye be North Carolina’s new go-to guy? Maye hit the game-winner with 0.3 seconds left against Kentucky in the regional final last weekend. It marked the first time a North Carolina player made a game-winning shot in the last 10 seconds of an NCAA tournament game since 1990 (Rick Fox vs. Oklahoma). That game-winner came two days after Maye had 16 points and 12 rebounds – his first career double-double – in a win over Butler.

Hot shot: Oregon’s Tyler Dorsey is shooting 65 percent (17 for 26) from 3-point range in the tournament. He said teams haven’t been stepping out to challenge his shot as much in the tournament, and that’s even more the case as he’s extended his range over the past few weeks. The key to keeping a hot hand? “Nothing to figure out, really,” he said. “I’m just getting a lot of shots. I’m probably getting more than anyone, and I’ve got the hot hand.”

GLENDALE, Ariz. – South Carolina and Gonzaga have a lot more in common than just being in their first Final Four.

Experience has been a key word around the two programs this week in advance of their national semifinal game Saturday.

A bigger word that applies is defense. They don’t play the same style, but they both are effective in holding down an opponent.

Guard Duane Notice is the defensive focal point for seventh-seeded South Carolina.

“Just as your point guard initiates your offense, your on-ball defender initiates your defense,” Gamecocks coach Frank Martin said Friday.

“When your point guard’s good offensively, your team is good offensively.

When your on-ball guard is good defensively, your team is good defensively. They go hand in hand.”

The man top-seeded Gonzaga (36-1) relies on to lead its defense is 7-foot-1 center Przemek Karnowski.

“The rim protection that we have this year is different than anything we’ve been able to put out there,” Bulldogs coach Mark Few said. “We got the bulk, the strength, size of Karnowski, which allows us to not have to double-team. So then we’re not forced into rotations. But then we also can combine that with the athleticism, the shot-blocking of Zach Collins and Killian Tillie helps.”

Ask the Gamecocks (26-10) about Gonzaga’s defense, and rim protection is mentioned again and again.

“Their bigs are huge,” South Carolina’s Sindarius Thornwell said.

“They rebound well, and we are big on offensive rebounding. We are big on attacking the rim. They do a great job keeping you out of the rim and make you take pull-up jumpers. We must do a good job moving their defense so we can get easier shots.”

Freshman Maik Kotsar will have the main responsibility of handling Karnowski.

“They have huge bodies and they are tall,” the 6-10 Kotsar said. “Just the physicality of it, we have to guard and not let them get easy paint touches.”

Gonzaga, which has allowed 60.9 points a game, has kept three of its four opponents to less than 60 points in the NCAA tournament, while South Carolina’s scrambling zone has kept

Gonzaga’s Przemek Karnowski shoots over Josh Perkins during a practice session Friday ahead of Saturday night’s NCAA tournament semifinal game against South Carolina in Glendale, Ariz. its opponents off-balance and out of sync. The Gamecocks allow 64.9 points a game.

“We have been working on it all week, just trying to find ways to exploit their defense,” Gonzaga’s Johnathan Williams said. “I feel like we’ll be fine. We just need to follow the game.”

Experience matters: Before this tournament, South Carolina’s last NCAA win was in 1973. Gonzaga has been one of the tournament’s mainstays, winning 21 games in the 18 consecutive years the Zags have reached the tournament under Few. “I’ve always felt that experience helps to get back. Experience doesn’t help the game you’re playing,” Martin said. “The game you’re playing is a game. And how you manage yourself day to day to day allows you to be prepared to succeed when the game starts.”

Feeling good: Thornwell, the Southeastern Conference player of the year, missed Thursday’s practice when he wasn’t feeling well. He practiced Friday and sounded good to go.

“I had a headache, fever and stuff like that. I am fine now. Everything is going good,” he said Friday. “We were glad it occurred on Wednesday so I could get it over with. Everything worked out, and I am glad to be here with my teammates.”
