Amid concerns, McHenry officials discuss downtown parking solutions

nlinhart@shawmedia.com

cHENRY – Kelly Liebmann frequently shops in downtown McHenry, but says it often is a struggle to find nearby parking.

“It’s already hard to find parking there, and it’ll be more difficult with the new theater coming,” the Wonder Lake resident said.

The McHenry City Council in February unanimously approved plans to allow a theater, a restaurant serving alcohol, outdoor seating and entertainment at Walsh Park, 1202 N. Green St., and 1204-1208 N. Green St. The renovated indoor theater will have two screen-

ing rooms and is expected to seat 320 people.

While many are excited about the new theater plans to revitalize the downtown area, Liebmann said she’s concerned where all those people coming to the theater are going to park.

“On a Friday night, that’s when restaurants in the area are busy as well,” Liebmann said. “It’ll be great for bringing people, but it’s going to be a detriment to some of the businesses there, I believe, if they don’t fix the parking.”

According to city documents, the Green Street area – which includes Green Street, Waukegan Road and the Riverwalk Center – has 208 available public parking spaces and 507 private

LAKE IN THE HILLS

Couple set to open 1980s rock-themed restaurant

By HANNAH PROKOP

hprokop@shawmedia.com LAKE IN THE HILLS – Chad and Tammy Hufford are hoping to bring something unique to Lake in the Hills with their new 1980s rock-themed restaurant Rock N Grill.

“When we were kids, we’d go to the ’50s and ’60s diners because that’s what the people that own restaurants had,” Tammy Hufford said. “And we figured it’s time to go up a generation and make it the ’80s.”

The restaurant, 335 N. Randall Road, will serve food including Angus beef hamburgers, hot dogs and salads at affordable prices, Chad Hufford said. Chicago Grill was the previous tenant in the space.

This will be the Crystal Lake couple’s first restaurant. The Huffords worked to put the finishing touches on the restaurant in the week leading up to the soft opening Sunday for family and friends.

Five electric guitars are hung on one wall, and on another are T-shirts and

“It was kind of something that was a little connection that my brother and myself and my dad kind of had together,” Chad Hufford said. “And that’s what I want to do here.”

Veterans will be honored at the restaurant by being able to hang their picture and sign their name on a wall, said Chad Hufford, a Navy veteran. Veterans Q Barbecue Sauce, which donates its profits to veteran organizations, will be used and sold at the restaurant.

Rock N Grill will employ about five people to start off with, including the Hufford’s 15-year-old daughter, Carissa.

The 1,600-square-foot space seats 34 people. Customers will order at the counter and then pick up their food.

6 vie for 3 spots on Village Board

By HANNAH PROKOP

hprokop@shawmedia.com CARY – Six candidates are vying for three spots on Cary’s Village Board.

Candidates have divided themselves into two slates, each backing a different mayoral candidate.

Incumbent Cary Trustee Jeff Kraus, Jennifer Weinhammer and Joe Tournier have voiced their support for mayoral candidate Jim Cosler, while incumbent Trustee Rick Dudek, Christine Betz and Chris Naatz are behind Cary Mayor Mark Kownick.

Dudek, Betz and Naatz have said they are focused on being responsible with residents’ tax dollars, promoting business growth in Cary and enhancing villagewide beautification efforts.

When looking at businesses that enter the community, Dudek said the village shouldn’t just settle to fill empty spaces.

“I believe the biggest way we can impact the retail development in Cary is to proactively go out and identify [developers,]” Dudek said.

Dudek said he supports the downtown beautification plans in Cary, but said other areas, such as on Route 14, need attention, too.

As far as where development is needed in the village, Naatz said any additional businesses in town is good for Cary. Naatz said he took part in helping make the village’s comprehensive plan, which is meant to guide Cary’s decision-making for the next 20 years.

“I’m interested in Cary being the best that it can be,” Naatz said.

“And I have observed some recent economic development, and I would like to see that continued and even see Christine it continue at an acceler- Betz ated rate.”

The Cary Village Board has been split on a number of items, including Pedcor’s Garden Place Apartments and the agreement with Meyer Material/LaFarge Ag- Jeff gregates to use a floating Kraus dredge on the quarry off Route 31.

Betz and Dudek said they’d like to see a more communicative board that works together.

“I’m a very positive person, and I would like Joe to have the board be Tournier very positive, and that we could communicate in a positive way so that everything is talked about and we can get things done,” Betz said.

In the past, the Cary Village Board has not listened to what the majority of residents want, Weinhammer said.

“I am running because I want to give the residents a true voice, and I am running on behalf of all people in the Village of Cary who want to be heard,” Weinhammer said in an email.

Weinhammer said there should be a balance of support for new and current

businesses, and the village’s economic developer should be transparent and work with trustees to develop businesses.

The village of Cary has put its codes online, Rick streamlined the permitDudek ting process, hired the economic development director and used revolving loan funds to help expand business in the community, Kraus said.

“One area that I’d like to focus on would be the Christopher Route 31 properties that Naatz are in the village limits,” Kraus said.

Tournier, who served on the Cary Board of Zoning, Planning and Appeals for 19 years, 10 as the chairman, said the village should use Jennifer the comprehensive plan Weinhammer when making decisions.

“There has to be a very good reason to deviate [from the plan],” Tournier said.

As for where development is needed in the village, Tournier said areas such as near Jewel-Osco on Route 14 and properties on Route 31 need to attract business before putting more money into the downtown.

Consolidated elections take place Tuesday.

Marengo bond rating lowered two notches

By BRITTANY KEEPERMAN

bkeeperman@shawmedia.com MARENGO – Marengo’s bond rating has dropped two notches and could drop more if the city’s cost-cutting maneuvers aren’t enough to address growing police pension expenses.

S&P Global Ratings lowered its rating earlier this month on the city’s general obligation bonds by two notches from A+ to AA with a negative outlook.

Marengo’s police pension liability is a major factor behind the change, according to a recent report. The change could make it more expensive for the city to take out loans in the future.

“The downgrade reflects our view of the city’s large and growing unfunded pension liability, in conjunction with a limited ability to raise additional revenues with which to address the liabili-

ty,” S&P Global Ratings credit analyst Scott Nees said.

The report said that costs are likely to increase even more because Marengo’s police pension plan was funded at just 28 percent at the end of fiscal 2016 and the city has “consistently underfunded its actuarially determined contribution for multiple consecutive years.”

There’s a one in three chance Marengo’s credit rating will go down further in the next two years if a plan isn’t put in place to address the pension issue, the report states.

“We could revise the outlook back to stable if the city takes meaningful steps to put its pension funding on a sustainable course, while demonstrating progress in bringing its expenditures, including pension costs, into alignment with its recurring revenues,” Nees said.

Marengo City Administrator Gary Boden said that in the budget proposed last month, a 4 percent cut had been made to the general fund and that money would go to pay for police pensions.

“This is probably the most difficult problem Marengo is facing right now,” Boden said. “We have raised revenue in this budget as much as we can feasibly do. … We don’t have any money. We can just make cuts.”

He added that Marengo is just one of many small municipalities throughout the state that are facing the crisis.

Other McHenry County communities, such as Woodstock, have voiced similar concerns about rising pension costs.

“We need a lot of state legislation,” Boden said. “Cities our size do not have flexibility to deal with pension costs like large cities, particularly those with home-rule status.”

Foundation grants Woodstock Mural project $20K

By BRITTANY KEEPERMAN

bkeeperman@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – The McHenry County Community Foundation has granted the city of Woodstock $20,000 to support a proposed mural to be located in downtown Woodstock.

The mural design – proposed by council member RB Thompson and worked on by a group of volunteers – would feature four cultural icons that have history in Woodstock including artist Chester Gould and his Dick Tracy character, Orson Welles, the “Groundhog Day” movie and the Stars of the Opera House.

“McHenry County Community Foundation’s generous award will enable this unique public art project to be enjoyed by every Woodstock resident and visitor,” Mural Steering Committee member Tina Hill said. “We greatly appreciate the Foundation’s wonderful support to help us celebrate and memorialize Woodstock’s cultural treasures.”

The mural would be hand-painted along Woodstock’s Main Street Pedway and the project would include an information kiosk and video documenting the process of completing phase one of the project, which is projected to cost about $60,000, said Terry Willcockson, grant writer with the city of Woodstock.

Phases two and three of the project include an Photo provided eventual sculpture garden and archway, but those This rendering shows a mock-up of what a proposed mural could look like near the Woodstock Square. have yet to be funded.

Taxes and township government among topics discussed

By NATE LINHART

nlinhart@shawmedia.com

Luis Eric Aguilar. The independents are Sue Draffkorn, Craig Wallace, Gary Barla and Neal Schepler. Wallace, Barla and Schepler are incumbents.

Bob Anderson, the owner of Bob’s Countryside Barber Shop in Wonder Lake, said he’s running to help lower property taxes and to look at whether certain townships should be eliminated.

“I’m very concerned because I have barber customers who are leaving the state because of the property taxes.

That’s what I’m running for,” Anderson said.

Realtor Sue Miller is running on the Democrat slate because she believes that township government is essential to maintain the quality of life in the area. Miller said people may not know what a township does and hopes to educate them.

“Our platform is we’re looking for more transparency, more accountability and a continuation of essential services,” Miller said.

Townships under Illinois government have three statutory responsibilities – to assess property, maintain township roads and distribute general assistance.

Craig Wallace, who was appointed as a trustee last June, said he’s running because he’s seen how important the township’s programs and services are for the community.

“As the newest board member, I was excited to see that they were able to lower the levy 10 percent, they’ve held our mosquito abatement contract, and the great thing we’ve been able to do since I’ve been on board is we’ve been able to add some weather detection systems.”

In other key races for the April 4 election, running for McHenry Township clerk are Republican Dan Alyward, Democrat Judith Gottlieb and Independent Marsha Nelson. Nelson is the incumbent.

In the race for McHenry Township highway commissioner, incumbent James Condon is facing a challenge from Republican challenger Steve Koerber.

Incumbent Mary Mahady is running unopposed for McHenry Township assessor.

The McHenry Township government operates on a budget of $2.1 million a year, Adams said, and has about 35 employees, most of them with the road department.

McHENRY – Three slates are vying for control of McHenry Township, including a Republican slate that includes a man who has long questioned the need for townships.

Property taxes are a key issue with contested races for township clerk, highway commissioner, supervisor and seats on the board of trustees.

The only McHenry Township race that isn’t contested is for assessor.

Incumbent Craig Adams faces Republican challenger Steve Verr in the race for McHenry Township supervisor. Adams, the full-time supervisor who is seeking re-election as an Independent, said he’s running because the township has reduced property taxes by 10 percent the last fiscal year and

wants to continue to lower property taxes in the future.

“I think there’s room to do more and run the township efficiently,” Adams said.

“Also, while we’re reducing taxes we still want to maintain all the programs that are here, such as our senior bus service, our senior program, our FISH Food Pantry program and our general assistance program.”

His opponent, attorney Steve Verr, is running with the Republican slate.

Verr said he would cut supervisor’s salary if elected.

“I’m positive we can make all kinds of cuts,” Verr said.

“We’re the 29th highest taxed county in the nation. Not Illinois, the nation.

So something’s got to give. People are getting taxed out of their homes, there’s so many vacant houses,” Verr said.

In the race to be on the McHenry Township Board of Trustees, three different slates – Republican, Democrat and Independent – are running for four open seats. On the Republican slate are Bob Anderson, Mike Rakestraw, Bill Cunningham and Stan Wojewski.

One the Democrat slate are Mary Ellen Shine, Sue Miller, Robert Beltran and

Not like when the guys came back from Vietnam and were spit and kicked at.”

Bronowski, a Marengo Community High School graduate, had no idea of the welcome that was in store. In addition to the welcome home rally and lighted and sirened escort to local restaurant Niko’s Pointer’s Saloon & Restaurant, many local businesses had put up “Welcome Home Sam” signs in their windows.

Coulter initially posted on Facebook asking whether local businesses would put up signs welcoming her son

home, but didn’t realize how much the celebration would snowball, she said.

“Marengo was just so proud of him,” she said. “I am really shocked, not at the patriotism, but even outside of Marengo. The Warriors’ Watch Riders aren’t even local. I was surprised that it kept growing and growing and growing.”

Bronowski said that he was happy to see that the community appreciated the sacrifices that military personnel makes.

“It’s great to see everybody come around and come together for an event,” he said. “It’s great to see that these people go around and actually make people feel appreciated for what they are doing.”

The photo was taken by the well-known Medlar Studio in Woodstock. Photographs from Medlar date from the 1870s into the 1920s. The newly married woman was the daughter-in-law of Marvin Sherman, a well-heeled jewelry store owner in Woodstock. The only other information is contained the back of the photo: “To Aunt Clara from ‘Birdie’ Sherman.” Marvin’s son Lynn married this young woman, Lucy Albertina “Birdie” Soper, in 1902. The ceremony was in Essex, Ontario, Canada, where her parents lived.

They returned to Woodstock and raised two children. By 1919, Marvin Sherman moved to Los Angeles and Lynn and “Birdie” went along. “Birdie” Sherman died in Los Angeles on Oct. 2, 1946, and is buried with her husband in the Glendale, California cemetery.

also feel that people won’t want to park back there if they don’t feel comfortable,” Glab said. “Especially if they’re coming out of a movie, it’s dark out and they have to walk down through narrow pathways.”

Glab suggested that if they tear down some of the storage spaces back there and create a more open walkway, that would help fix the problem.

“People would be much more comfortable going back there then, because it is so wide open,” Glab said. “I think that would give a lot more accessibility to the parking that we have in the back.”

Although these are only ideas at this point, Glab said the city will continue to look at different potential solutions.

group and discuss different options.”

Naté Grindeland, who owns Mixin Mingle in downtown McHenry, said she’s excited for the indoor theater, but parking can already be a challenge for her business. Customers often ask her where they can park.

“It would be nice if some sort of option was in the works to improve parking,” Grindeland said.

Right next door, Kim Loewe, owner of Kiera’s Confections in downtown McHenry, said she isn’t too concerned about parking, even with the theater coming back.

“We just got new parking signs that really matches nicely with all the directional signage in the downtown, so I think that will be a big help,” Loewe said.

“The more that come down here, the better it is, but that’s not to say that we won’t keep working on solutions for better parking,” Loewe said.

2nd Ward Alderman Andy Glab said the city needs to have a strategic plan in place to address parking concerns.

Glab suggested one way to help ease parking concerns is to better advertise parking spaces behind Neumann Park.

“A lot of people don’t realize there’s available parking back there, and I

NEW YORK – The creator of the rainbow flag that has become a widely recognized symbol of gay rights has died at age 65.

Gilbert Baker’s death was reported Friday to the New York City medical examiner’s office. The cause wasn’t known.

Baker was born in Kansas and served in the U.S. Army from 1970 to 1972.

He was stationed in San Francisco in the early days of the gay Gilbert rights movement and Baker continued to live there after his honorable discharge.

According to Baker’s website, he taught himself to sew and began making banners for gay and anti-war marches, creating the rainbow flag in 1978.

Baker said in a 2008 interview that he knew instantly from the way people reacted to the flag that it was “going to be something. I didn’t know what or how or – but I knew.”

Baker was part of a circle of San Francisco gay activists that included Harvey Milk, the city supervisor who was assassinated in 1978, and Cleve Jones, who created the Names Project AIDS memorial quilt in the 1980s.

In an interview Saturday, Jones recalled the rainbow flag’s first appearance at the 1978 gay pride parade.

“It was quite amazing to stand there and watch all these thousands of people turn off Market Street into San Francisco Civic Center Plaza and march beneath these giant flags that were flapping in the wind,” Jones said. “People looked up, and faces lit up and, without any explanation, this was now our flag.”

The flag was initially eight colors but it was cut to six due to limited availability of fabrics, Jones said. He said Baker rejected advice to patent the rainbow flag design and never made a penny off it.

Baker also designed flags for civic occasions including the inauguration of Dianne Feinstein, now California’s senior U.S. senator, as mayor of San Francisco.

Lawmakers seek tighter regulation of large swine confinements The ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO – Four new measures proposed in the Illinois Legislature would tighten the state’s environmental protections on hog confinements and give local citizens more input in the permitting process as well as standing to challenge the massive facilities in court.

Critics say pork producers sometimes exploit weak laws to build and expand large hog confinements across rural Illinois, some of which hold thousands of pigs and produce millions of gallons of manure each year, the Chicago Tribune reported.

Farmers and others who live near the massive facilities say their rights have been trampled while waste poisons local streams and sickening gases ruin families’ lives and property values.

“What is going on in our rural com-

News from across the state Indiana man sentenced in Chicago for gun sales

CHICAGO – A 44-year-old Indiana man has been sentenced to two years in a prison for bringing guns from Indiana and illegally selling them on the streets of Chicago.

A U.S. attorney’s office statement Friday says jurors convicted Willie Lee Biles Jr. of dealing firearms without a license last year. Judge Sara Ellis in Chicago sentenced him Thursday.

Prosecutors say Biles legally bought around 30 guns from licensed dealers in Indiana, and then sold them on the West Side of Chicago at more than two times the purchase price. Prosecutors say he never asked for identification from buyers and didn’t verify whether they could legally own guns.

A government sentencing memo alleged the guns have been used in attempted murders. It also said they were also re-

munities and to many of our farmers and farm families is wrong and unjust and we can do better than this for them,” Fulton County farmer Craig Porter said. He described a frustrating effort to stop a proposed 20,000-head hog facility near his property.

The legislation, announced at a Tuesday news conference in Springfield, was proposed in response to an August investigation by the Tribune.

The bills would represent the first significant reforms to the state’s 1996 Livestock Management Facilities Act, which has been criticized for failing to keep up with the dramatic growth of swine confinements.

Farming and livestock groups tell The Associated Press the legislation places more regulatory burden on livestock farmers and is redundant.

“Unfortunately, the legislation introduced by Sen. Koehler does little to further enhance environmental pro-

tections,” said Richard Guebert, Jr., president of the Illinois Farm Bureau, in a statement. Instead, the bills increase the level of burdensome regulation for livestock farms in Illinois, he said.

Illinois Pork Producers Association spokeswoman Jenny Jackson said the current state law provides a good balance between protecting the environment and permitting farmers to raise livestock.

“The answer isn’t to place more regulatory burden on our livestock farmers,” Jackson said. “The answer is increasing consumer education. As pig farmers, we set a high bar for ourselves to be good animal caretakers and stewards of the land. We need to work harder to tell consumers our story.”

Democratic state Sen. David Koehler of Peoria, a sponsor of two of the bills, called the measures a “com-

mon-sense approach.” He said the bills are modeled after laws in other states, including Iowa, Indiana and Wisconsin.

One bill would require all confinements to register with the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency. The second bill would close a frequently used loophole in state law that allows new confinements to be built without a permit when they can be deemed an expansion of prior livestock operations.

The third bill would require that facilities to file waste management plans before they’re constructed and to publicly disclose these plans if local residents and county officials request hearings on the proposed operations.

The final bill would give neighbors the right to challenge the Agriculture Department in court if they believe mistakes were made in approving a construction permit.

Danny Davis is mourning the loss of another family member.

Davis’ son, Stacey Wilson, was found dead in his Chicago home on Thursday. A spokeswoman for Davis says no foul play is suspected in the 44-year-old man’s death.

Davis, a Democrat, said in a statement Friday that his son was diabetic and had been in and out of hospitals the past three weeks.

Wilson’s son and Davis’ grandson, 15-year-old Javon Wilson, was killed in November while trying to break up a fight. Two teens have been charged in the killing.

Davis said Wilson never got over the loss of his son.

Chance the Rapper donates to more schools

CHICAGO – Grammy winner Chance the Rapper is again championing public education in Chicago by announcing more money has been raised for his art fund.

The Chicago native stopped at a high school Friday to announce he’s secured an additional $1 million from the Chicago Bulls for his New Chance Arts and Literature Fund.

The rapper, whose real name is Chancelor Bennett, donated $1 million earlier this month to Chicago schools. He said 10 schools will receive $10,000 checks as part of the donation. He said Friday that a total of $2.2 million has now been raised in his Chicago Public Schools fundraising effort. As a result, an additional 12 schools would receive $10,000 donations.

The Ingenuity arts organization will help determine how to distribute the funds he raises for schools and students.

Titanic exhibit draws record visitors to Peoria museum

PEORIA – A record number of people visited the Peoria Riverfront Museum for an exhibit about the Titanic.

The Journal Star reported nearly 44,000 people went through the museum’s galleries for the exhibit, which ran from Nov. 12 through March 12. That’s four times the gallery attendance during the same period last year.

The total number of people to visit the museum – including its planetarium and giant-screen theater – increased 77 percent, to more than 78,500 visitors.

Debbie Ritschel is the museum’s interim president and CEO. She says visitors came from 39 states.

The exhibit included artifacts from the Titanic, as well as human stories of its passengers. The ship was on its maiden voyage in 1912 when it sunk, claiming some 1,500 lives.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS Judge to Trump: No protection for speech inciting violence

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – A federal judge has rejected President Donald Trump’s free speech defense against a lawsuit accusing him of inciting violence against protesters at a campaign rally.

Trump’s lawyers sought to dismiss the lawsuit by three protesters who say they were roughed up by his supporters at a March 1, 2016, rally in Louisville, Kentucky.

They argued that Trump didn’t intend for his supporters to use force.

Two women and a man say they were shoved and punched by audience members at Trump’s command. Much of it was captured on video and widely broadcast during the campaign, showing Trump pointing at the protesters and repeating “get them out.”

Judge David J. Hale in Louisville ruled Friday that the suit against Trump, his campaign and three of his supporters can proceed.

With Trump approval, Pentagon expands warfighting authority

By LOLITA C. BALDOR The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – Week by week, country by country, the Pentagon is quietly seizing more control over warfighting decisions, sending hundreds more troops to war with little public debate and seeking greater authority to battle extremists across the Middle East and Africa.

This week it was Somalia, where President Donald Trump gave the U.S. military more authority to conduct offensive airstrikes on alQaida-linked militants. Next week it could be Yemen, where military leaders want to provide more help for the United Arab Emirates’ battle against Iranian-backed rebels. Key decisions on Iraq, Syria and Afghanistan are looming, from ending troop number limits to loosening rules that guide commanders in the field.

The changes in President Donald Trump’s first two months in office underscore his willingness to let the Pentagon manage its own day-to-day combat. Under the Obama administration, military leaders chafed about micromanagement that included commanders needing approval for routine tactical decisions about targets and personnel moves.

But delegating more authority to the Pentagon – and combat decisions to lower level officers – carries its own military and political risks. Casualties, of civilians and American service members, may be the biggest.

The deepening involvement in counterinsurgency battles, from the street-by-street battles being fought in Iraq right now to clandestine raids in Yemen and elsewhere, increases the chances of U.S. troops dying. Such tragedies could raise the ire of the American public and

create political trouble with Congress at a time when the Trump administration is trying to finish off the Islamic State group in Iraq and Syria and broaden efforts against similarly inspired groups.

Similarly, allowing lower level commanders to make more timely airstrike decisions in densely populated areas such as the streets of Mosul, Iraq, can result in more civilian deaths.

The U.S. military already is investigating several bombings in Mosul in mid-March that witnesses say killed at least 100 people. And it is considering new tactics and precautions amid evidence suggesting extremists are smuggling civilians into buildings and then baiting the U.S.-led coalition into attacking.

Alice Hunt Friend, a senior fellow at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, cited yet another concern: Military operations becoming “divorced from overall foreign policy” could make both civilian leaders and the military vulnerable to runaway events.

“Political leaders can lose control of military campaigns,” she warned.

But top military leaders say they need to be able to act quicker against U.S. enemies. And they’ve been staunchly supported by Trump, who has promised to pursue Islamic extremists more aggressively and echoed the view of Pentagon leaders that the Obama administration’s tight control over military operations limited effectiveness.

Explaining his request for more leeway in Somalia against al-Shabab militants, Gen. Thomas Waldhauser, head of U.S. Africa Command, told Congress this month that more flexibility and “timeliness” in decision-making process was necessary.

Poll: Most Americans want independent Russia probe

By JONATHAN LEMIRE and EMILY SWANSON The Associated Press

NEW YORK – A slim majority of Americans favor an independent investigation into the Trump campaign’s ties with the Russian government, according to a new poll by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research that showed public views about the controversy driving congressional investigations are sharply divided along party lines. Amid questions swirling in Washington that have forced the resignation of one top Trump official and the scrutiny of several others, most Americans say they’re at least somewhat concerned about the possibility that the Republican businessman’s campaign had inappropriate contacts with the Russian government, but less than half say they’re very concerned.

More than three-quarters of Democrats favor an independent investigation into Trump’s Russian ties while only one-quarter of Republicans do.

Overall, 52 percent of Americans favor such a probe, while 23 percent are opposed. An additional 22 percent say they neither favor nor oppose an investigation. Asked whether they favor an independent investigation into the issue of Moscow’s meddling in the 2016 cam-

paign, Americans broke along similar margins.

“Russia has always been an enemy of the United States and of democracy across the world. Our politicians have no business making secret deals with them. That’s not the America I know,” said John Dodd, 68, who runs a bowling alley in Big Spring, Texas. “Every day, I turn on the news and it feels like there’s more to it. For our country’s sake, I hope it leads to nowhere. But I am afraid it does.”

Questions about possible ties between Trump’s associates and Russian officials have dogged the White House.

Since July, the FBI has been conducting a counterintelligence investigation into Russia’s interference in the election and possible coordination with Trump associates. House and Senate intelligence committees, led by Republican lawmakers, are also investigating.

Some Democratic leaders have called for an independent investigation, saying the congressional probes, particularly the House investigation, has been tainted by political interference from the White House.

Several Trump associates have been caught up in the controversy. Trump’s first national security adviser, Michael Flynn, was forced to resign after he misled the vice president about con-

versations with a Russian ambassador.

Attorney General Jeff Sessions has recused himself from the Justice Department investigation after he did not disclose a meeting with the same ambassador. White House senior adviser Jared Kushner has volunteered to be questioned by congressional investigators. Former campaign manager Paul Manafort’s connections to Russia are part of the congressional probes.

The president has steadfastly denied any inappropriate links to Russia.

According to the poll, 44 percent of Americans say they’re very or extremely concerned that Trump or others involved in his campaign had inappropriate contacts with the Russian government. An additional 18 percent say they’re somewhat concerned, and 36 percent say they’re not very concerned or not concerned at all.

“The election was tampered with – the Russians stole it for Trump,” said Lamar Walker, 47, a Democrat from LaGrange, Georgia. “This man now has the nuclear war codes. But all he cares about is the wall, the Mexicans and going golfing. He said he was going to make America great again. I have not seen one thing he has actually made greater.”

But Republicans have a sharply different view.

Be Reconciled ‘His mercy endures forever.’

“They are just kicking up dust. It’s obstruction. It’s just another way to try to block this president,” said Edward Vazquez, a 46-year-old Republican who works as an engineer in Odessa, Texas.

Intelligence officials have determined that Russia worked to influence the campaign by hacking the Democratic National Committee and Democratic officials. The information was shared with online leakers. Officials believe that aim was to boost the Trump campaign. Trump has said he accepts this determination, although he has been broadly dismissing of the congressional investigations and the steady stream of reporting on new developments. Trump lashed out in early March accusing former President Barack Obama of wiretapping the phone at Trump Tower. He asked House and Senate intelligence committees to investigate. Republican and Democratic lawmakers, as well as FBI Director James Comey, have said they’ve seen no evidence to support the claim. On the whole, Americans are far less likely to see a need for an investigation into Trump’s wiretapping accusations – 35 percent in favor to 38 percent opposed. But that again was starkly divided along party lines. Nearly half of Republicans but less than a third of Democrats or independents, favor an investigation.

U.S. coal production since 1978. Utilities continued to switch to cheaper and cleaner-burning natural gas to generate electricity, and the cost of wind and solar energy continued to decline.

Around here, President Barack Obama’s regulations got much of the blame. Trump reaped the benefit, winning Wyoming and another coal state, West Virginia, by his widest margins in the nation. Within Wyoming, Trump won biggest in Campbell County, which includes Gillette.

On Tuesday, he repaid the favor by announcing he would review Obama’s Clean Power Plan and lift the 14-monthold coal leasing moratorium.

Stacey Moeller, a shovel operator at Peabody Energy’s Caballo Mine, said the changes will put coal back on a level playing field after Obama tipped it in favor of renewable energy for eight years.

“That’s all I ever thought was fair, was that we would be allowed to compete in the market,” she said. “And that’s what I felt was being taken away from us.”

The federal government owns nearly all of the coal reserves in the Powder River Basin and leases them to companies to mine. Even before the Obama moratorium, market forces had all but halted new leasing. To many, the measure seemed like insult on top of injury.

Last year, around 500 miners were laid off as several large mining companies went through bankruptcy. Whether Arch Coal, Peabody or Contura Energy rehire all those workers or resume significant leasing remains to be seen.

The companies have not announced any major new projects yet.

But business is already brightening at some of the heavy machinery dealerships that line a Gillette road where they sell excavators, bulldozers, forklifts and other equipment to the mines.

The perk-up began the day after the election, when a couple of customers placed orders to complete projects they would have abandoned if Democrat Hillary Clinton had won, said Richard Chafee, general manager of Jack’s Truck & Equipment.

“You talk about consumer confidence,” Chafee said with a chuckle.

“We’ve had very good consumer confidence here the last three months.”

Still, the coal critics aren’t limited to scientists and scholars. On the Turner Crest Ranch, greyish-orange clouds from mine blasting appear on the horizon like clockwork. Ranchers Karen and L.J. Turner have little good to say about Black Thunder and the other huge mines near their place, which they blame for their creeks and wells running dry.

GILLETTE, Wyo. – This hardscrabble Wyoming city of about 30,000 proclaims itself the “Energy Capital of the Nation” on the mayor’s blue blazer and even the parking ticket payment boxes.

Nearby are some of the world’s largest open-pit mines, where dump trucks the size of houses haul out more than 40 percent of the coal produced in the U.S. The windy, wide-open landscape around Gillette also has substantial reserves of natural gas, oil and uranium.

So when President Donald Trump lifted a federal coal leasing moratorium and ordered a review of greenhouse gas regulations, the announcement electrified many workers here who depend on fossil fuels for their livelihood. After years of layoffs and corporate bankruptcies, they are optimistic that jobs and a better economy will soon return.

“It’s not all rosy right now. But anytime you can see the future and know that the United States, you know, is working with you rather than against you, that alone is nice,” Gillette Mayor Louise Carter-King said. She predicts the community will “come out of this bigger and better than ever” thanks to clean-coal technology and overseas exports.

But the skepticism expressed by many economists and energy experts throughout the campaign has not eased.

They say the global coal market has little room for additional coal from Wyoming and especially from Appalachia, where mines are not just scaling back but closing altogether.

Nationwide, the coal industry has shed some 60,000 jobs, or more than 40 percent of its non-office workforce, since 2011.

“Utilities are just staying away from coal. So that hasn’t changed. That didn’t change after the election, and it hasn’t changed since the executive order,” said Rob Godby, director of the Center for Energy Economics and Public Policy at the University of Wyoming. “The problem is that with the stroke of a pen, the president can’t change market conditions very easily.”

Academics with doctorates aren’t dampening Gillette’s newfound optimism for Trump’s order.

“I think it’s freaking great,” said Scott Baysinger, operations manager of Baysinger Trucking, which supplies dump trucks and other heavy machinery to the coal industry. “Last year was a horrible year for us. This year already is better. We’ve been better all year long.”

Last year, in fact, was the worst for

GOP: Pick up tax plan In the wake of the failure by Republicans to get an Obamacare repeal-and-replace bill off the ground, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin sounded an optimistic note about President Donald Trump’s next big project, tax reform.

Overhauling the nation’s convoluted, inefficient internal revenue code, he said, would be “a lot simpler” than overhauling its sprawling health-care system. At which much of Washington rolled its eyes.

After all, the same interplay of interest-group conflict, policy complexity and partisan ideology that undid GOP health-care efforts would seem to apply to tax reform.

Still, in one sense Mnuchin may be right. Unlike health care, the subject of a comprehensive bill under Trump’s predecessor which only recently took full effect, the tax code was last given a top-to-bottom fix in 1986. It’s overdue. Moreover, in the past decade or so, problems, such as internationally uncompetitive corporate taxation, have become more salient.

In short, the legislative shelf is full of policy options from which to choose, if Mnuchin would rather avoid the time-consuming exercise of making his own from scratch. That’s certainly what we would do in his position. For example, in 2014, then-House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Dave Camp, R-Mich., drafted a bill that would have reduced the top corporate rate from 35 percent to 25 percent and replaced the seven marginal rates for individuals with three: 10 percent, 25 percent and 35 percent. The lower rates would have been paid for by eliminating or reducing certain long-standing tax breaks, such as the mortgage- interest and charitable deductions.

Accordingly, the congressional Joint Committee on Taxation scored Camp’s plan as revenue-neutral; that is, it neither increased nor decreased the budget deficit. Camp (now retired) included sweeteners for Democrats, with whom he consulted extensively: His plan targeted the notorious special treatment of “carried interest” for hedge-fund managers, as well as a break for corporate jets, which was a pet issue of President Barack Obama. There were objectionable aspects to Camp’s plan. It retained favorable treatment of investment income for top earners, a major source of the growing rich-poor gap. Republican leaders basically nixed it, not because of any policy objection, but because there was more to be gained, politically, in that election year by raining negativity on Obama.

Now, though, the GOP is the governing party, and it’s in a major policy and political jam, which can be escaped by offering plausible plans with at least potential bipartisan appeal. We wonder how many Republicans remember that their erstwhile top tax-law writer bequeathed them a proposal that fits that description.

It is right there on the shelf, waiting.

AMENDMENT

ANOTHER VIEW

In Trump’s budget, science under assault High atop the list of things that make America great is its investment in science.

A commitment to basic research, led by the federal government, has long made the United States an electromagnet for the smartest people on Earth.

It laid the groundwork for the internet. Has planted seeds for explosive economic innovation. Unlocked untapped energy.

Enabled, and is increasingly enabling, medical miracles.

All for a relatively piddling $68 billion in 2016, or a wee bit more than the single-year increase in the defense budget President Trump is ordering up.

Yet if Trump gets his way in his new budget, the feds will pull the plug on thousands of vital projects.

The National Institutes of Health, America’s leading medical research grantmaker, would suffer an 18 percent hit – an unprecedented single-year decline.

Discoveries funded by the NIH have deciphered the human genetic code; kept blood-transfusion supplies safe and clean; lowered the cholesterol of millions, via statins; and developed a class of drugs instrumental to turning

AIDS from a death sentence into a chronic disease.

They are working as you read this to map the human brain as never before. To pioneer understanding of and therapies for Alzheimer’s disease. And to radically improve cancer treatments that have already saved thousands of lives. Trump would systematically hobble that work.

(Insult to injury: Defense research and development spending, much of it designed to make it easier to injure and kill, would get a big boost as lifesaving R&D goes begging.)

Meantime, Trump would all but eliminate funding for studies on the impact of climate change that are enabling the United States and the world to adapt to, and potentially mitigate, potentially cataclysmic alterations to the planet.

Deep cuts to the Environmental Protection Agency and Department of Agriculture would weaken scientists’ ability to help curb air and water pollution.

Still unknown: How badly Trump would wallop the National Science Foundation, which pays for pathbreaking work in dozens of vital realms beyond biology and

environmental science.

The assault couldn’t come at a worse time. America is already at risk of losing its leadership position; for years, the U.S. share of R&D spending has been falling, with China, Japan, South Korea, India and Singapore gaining as we slip.

Meantime, four in 10 U.S. colleges – and half of all graduate schools – this year are reporting declines in the number of international students, who often go on to study science, technology and engineering. That phenomenon, no doubt triggered largely by Trump’s anti-immigrant fearmongering, will only be exacerbated by a freshly expressed hostility toward research.

To those who protest, “If it’s so important, the private sector will pay for it,” wrong: The very nature of most basic science is that it doesn’t pay short-term economic dividends. And private philanthropy, while essential, can’t do nearly enough.

Democrats and Republicans alike in Congress get that. It is their responsibility now to enlighten a President who doesn’t.

Or, failing that, just defeat him.

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.

Mogan for village president

To the Editor: It’s time to elect a new village president in Hebron. Someone who can step in to the position and move the village forward.

Mark Mogan is the person for the job. He has 23 years with the Lake in the Hills Police Department, 13 as a sergeant, and 10 years as a village of Hebron trustee. Supporting Mark Mogan will bring honest, transparent professionalism back to the village of Hebron. He has and will work hard for the best interests of all the residents.

I see this in the way he votes by researching both sides of every issue before he votes.

As a village trustee for 22 years, I have worked with a lot of elected officials. There are others running, but on April 4, I am supporting Mark Mogan for village of Hebron president.

Kaplan for Kownick

To the Editor: Four years ago, I lost to Mark Kownick in a the Cary mayoral election.

I stayed on for two more years as I finished up my term as trustee.

Mark gained my respect and admiration for his work ethic, dedication and genuine concern for the residents of Cary.

He is above board, transparent and tries to work with his fellow trustees.

He had the foresight and courage to recognize the Pedcor project to be a win-win for our community in spite of a very misinformed, organized opposition, led by his opponent.

Mark takes the time, as he should, to attend the board meetings in person. His vision to initiate the highly successful Cary Main Street Fest is exemplary. His support for economic development in spite of lip service from his opponent is commendable.

Mark is clearly the choice for continuing as Cary’s mayor.

And if you are one of the Cary Matters followers, I really hope you are smart enough to do your fact-checking. In an effort to bolster his “man of the people” persona, Jim Cosler, his opponent, is making up ridiculous, untruthful stories about Kownick.

The most recent one said Kownick is in favor of making Cary a Sanctuary City – not an iota of truth. Before you vote, do your research. Then vote for Kownick.

Voters deserve better than clerk

To the Editor: I have serious concerns about the McHenry County Clerk’s Office. In this year’s consolidated primary, a candidate’s name was spelled wrong on the official ballot, even though the mistake had been brought to the county clerk’s attention prior to election day.

Most recently, in the election guide the clerk distributed as an insert in the Northwest Herald, my name was spelled incorrectly.

When I called the clerk’s office to alert them to the error, the individual I spoke to provided no explanation for their mistake and did not apologize. In fact, the staff member seemed inconvenienced that I even brought it to her attention.

These errors out of the clerk’s office are happening all too often and with apparently no recourse for candidates. The public should be able to trust that the county clerk will preserve the integrity of elections, but these ongoing mistakes coming out of the McHenry County Clerk’s office are eroding that trust and casting doubt on the entire local election process.

Voters deserve much better.

Plan to cut tax bill by 10 percent

To the Editor: My name is Steve Cuda. I am running for mayor. I have spent the last month walking the neighborhoods and talking to the voters of McHenry. The greatest concern I hear is the real estate taxes are too high and need to be lowered. I propose reducing the city’s share of our tax bill by 10 percent. This savings would be offset by anticipated increases in sales tax and gaming revenues. At the March 22 finance committee meeting, staff confirmed that current revenues increased $600,000 and expenditures decreased $300,000. The money is there. My plan will work. Staff will spend every dime it can get its hand on. It is the mayor’s responsibility to push back and save money wherever possible.

It’s time to give some of this hardearned cash back to the taxpayers. If elected, I will guard your dollars as if they were my own. Please vote for Steve Cuda on April 4.

Mulcahy is not listening

To the Editor: I attended the McHenry mayoral candidates’ forum and can undoubtedly say Steve Cuda is the only choice to be elected McHenry’s next mayor. Mr. Cuda provided detailed insight into his plans to move McHenry forward. Mr. Cuda answered every question with poise, respect and intellect. Conversely, Mr. Wayne Jett did not answer several questions, handing the microphone back to Mr. Cuda and acknowledging he did not know about or understand the issue, even admitting to his failings as a public speaker.

The mayor not only represents the citizens in front of the city council, but also represents McHenry in front of boards and coalitions at the county and state level. Mr. Cuda has demonstrated he is capable, direct and has solid judgment when speaking about complex issues in a public setting.

Vote for Steve Cuda on April 4, the only choice to lead McHenry.

To the Editor: For the fourth time, Paul Mulcahy, Lake in the Hills village president, is plugging in one of his buddies to the open trustee seat on the village board I, myself, called Paul two months ago to request that he finally open up the process and invite citizens to apply for the seat. He stated he did not have time.

He said, “Some guy is bringing me five résumés of women who want to be trustees.” Apparently, I am not alone in my concern that the board is packed with Mulcahy cronies. Paul rejected those women and will put in the seventh man to complete the board, a personal friend of his.

Paul’s power grab and predictable behavior of stacking his custom-made board is exactly how Barbara Key controlled her Lake in the Hills board 30 years ago!

Lake in the Hills desperately needs a village board of independent thinkers who are creative and ready to make improvements. Our current board has a couple of “lifers.” In addition, one Village Board member was voted out by the public, and Paul brought him right back and plugged him into an open village board seat.

Paul is not listening. If you want him to hear you, you may want to call or email him at 847-960-7401 or pmulcahy@lith. org.

To the Editor: McHenry needs the kind of change you can only get with knowledge, proven ideas and experience. That’s why I encourage everyone to vote for Steve Cuda for mayor on April 4.

I grew up in McHenry and have called the city home for almost 30 years.

Over the past few years, I have been discouraged by the increasing number of vacant store fronts and the increase in used car dealerships, vape shops and video gaming establishments.

McHenry needs to attract more businesses, both national chains and small businesses, that would benefit the city. If neighboring communities can have bustling downtowns and commercial corridors, McHenry can, too.

During his time as mayor, Cuda brought more than $150 million in commercial growth and has a plan to work with businesses both large and small that want to invest in the city.

McHenry needs Cuda’s skill, passion, professionalism and experience.

ly, he is an outsider who has never before held a township office. Neither he, nor any of the Republican slate he is running with, participated in the over-taxation that our township is being sued for.

Our township government has millions upon millions of unnecessary funds on hand that they took from us. It will be gone. They will spend it.

It’s fun to spend money, particularly when it’s somebody else’s money. We should never have been overtaxed.

Those taxes are part of our property tax bill we all complain about.

Vote for Steve Koerber and those with Republican behind their name.

They are all new to township government and will clean up this mess.

Just vote Republican.

BUSINESS Stay-at-home parents can qualify for Social Security Just because you don’t bring home a paycheck doesn’t mean you’re not working. You can get a Social Security check just like any other worker.

Here’s how: In order to qualify for a full Social Security benefit, you have to have worked 40 quarters, which equates to 10 years, earning a minimum of at least $1,300 per quarter. However, what if you elected to stay home, raise your kids and never worked for 40 quarters outside the home? Or even if you got your 40 quarters in, what if you didn’t earn enough to get much of a benefit? Can you still receive Social Security?

The good news is you can.

If you are a married person with little to no earnings history you can receive a benefit equal to half of your spouse’s Social Security. More specifically you receive half of your spouses “primary insurance amount” which is the social security benefit they receive at their full retirement age which right now is age 66 or 67 for most people.

FINANCE Mike Piershale When you receive half of your spouse’s Social Security, this is known as the “spousal benefit.”

There are a few rules and restrictions to keep in mind if you want to claim this benefit: You should take the greater of your own Social Security benefit, or half of your spouses.

You must be at least 62 years of age and, if you apply before your full retirement age the benefit will be reduced. For example, if your full retirement age is 66, and you take it at 62, you receive 70% of the amount you’re entitled to at age 66.

As of May 1, 2016, your spouse must be receiving their Social Security in order for you to take the spousal benefit, unless they were grandfathered in under the old “file and suspend” rule.

You must be married to your spouse for at least one year to get half of their benefit.

Only one spouse in a marriage can claim this spousal benefit.

Keep in mind, if you are still working and you take a spousal benefit before full retirement age which for most people right now would be age 66 or 67, part or all of your benefits may be withheld depending on how much money you make.

If you make more than $16,920 per year then for every $2 you earn above this threshold, $1 in benefits is withheld. You don’t lose these withheld benefits. They will be added into your monthly benefit later when you stop working or reach full retirement age. At that time your benefit is recalculated, and it would include the withheld benefits to make the overall benefit higher.

Also, if you are divorced you can receive a spousal benefit as long as the marriage lasted 10 years. You must be at least 62 years of age, you can’t be married at the time you apply, and

your ex-spouse must be at least 62.

The big difference in the case of a divorce is that your ex-spouse doesn’t have to file for his or her benefit in order for you to receive the spousal benefit as long as you have been divorced for at least 2 years.

Finally in a case where you are a widow or widower, you can actually claim the deceased spouses benefit as early as age 60 as long as the marriage lasted nine months, and, instead of receiving half of your deceased spouses Social Security, you will receive 100% of the deceased spouse’s earned benefit if you file at your full retirement age. Keep in mind this survivors benefit will be reduced if you apply early.

Man’s daily ‘I love you’ texts disappear after wedding Dear Abby: I recently married a man with kids. I have kids as well. Combining two families is hard, but we’re figuring it out.

When we were dating, he would text me during the day to tell me he loved me.

Now that we’re married, I never hear from him during the day. I have told him numerous times I enjoyed those texts and how much they brightened my day.

He always promises to do better, but doesn’t. I tried texting him instead and only got emojis in return.

I came to the conclusion that’s just how he is, and I love him enough to overlook it. Well, last night I needed to use his phone because my battery was dead. When I texted his daughter to pick up something on the way home, I saw he texts her every day telling her he loves her. I’m afraid to say anything because I don’t want him to think I was snooping or I’m jealous of his kids. I’ve been hurt

I don’t know whether your friend is right in her estimation you are depressed. But if you are, I can understand why. Rather than brood, tell your husband you needed to use his phone in the past, so he knows I’m somewhat because yours wasn’t working, and how insecure. what you saw made you feel.

tians should not judge and insult others.

Allow me to offer a suggestion that may make your wife feel instantly better: Change pews.

Dear Abby: When someone anonymously pays your tab in a restaurant, and the staff drops enough hints to reveal the identity of this person, what’s the protocol for the recipient? Should I have walked over and thanked that person? My day definitely was made brighter by this kind gesture. I certainly will try to do something similar when I can. – Surprised In Cottonwood, Arizona Dear Surprised: The protocol is the same as with any other gift. A show of appreciation always is welcome, and it would not have been a breach of etiquette to offer one.

HUNTLEY – The Jacobs girls soccer team sounded almost surprised when a Huntley staffer presented it with a Huntley Invite third-place plaque after their win Saturday.

Huntley and Jacobs would have met in the third-place match after each finished second in their respective pools during the week, but because the groups’ third-place finishers, Harlem and Hononegah, also are conference rivals with upcoming regular-season meetings, they decided to flip Saturday’s matchups.

Jacobs beat Hononegah, 3-1, to take the nominal third-place match, and Huntley beat Harlem, 4-0, in the other consolation match, taking the fifthplace plaque.

“I feel like we should share this somehow,” Jacobs coach Stephanie Schuck later joked with Huntley coach Kris Grabner.

“It’s all yours,” the hosting head coach said.

In the championship match inside the stadium, Burlington Central beat Rockford Boylan, 3-0, to win the title after going 3-0 in the tournament.

“Of course (it’s disappointing),” Grabner said of not winning their own tournament. “But at the same time, we made the tournament that much better. ... We add some nice teams in, and I would prefer to have challenging games all the way. Obviously, teams are going to go up and down from year to year. We get some good play this early in the season, it’s great.

“It’s always a goal to win it, at the same time, I’m never going to be too upset if we don’t. It’s just about growing and the end of the season.”

Out on the front fields, Jacobs went ahead in the eighth minute with a headed goal by Hannah Mohan. Hononegah’s Brynn Jacobi equalized in the 16th minute, but it took less than a minute for Jacobs to go back on top.

“They’ve done it before,” Schuck said. “I think once they realize, ‘OK, wait, we do want this more,’ it kind of puts a fire under them. And they just need to remember that.”

Freshman Dominique Anderson scored the go-ahead goal, her second

Sarah Nader – snader@shawmedia.com

Huntley’s Hannah Scholer stops the ball in front of a Harlem player during a Huntley Invite consolation match Saturday at Huntley High School. Huntley won, 3-0. of the tournament after being called up from JV to fill in.

“I think I kind of bond with the team really well,” Anderson said. “Together, we work together really well and just know how each other play.”

Schuck praised Anderson’s positioning and movement creating chances.

“She’s really good with turning the ball,” Schuck said. “She always finds herself in the right place up top, then she’s able to turn, and as long as she’s got that proper turn where she cuts off the defender, she’s in and you know it.

You have that confidence in her, which is really exciting.”

Kelsey Medina added the third goal in the game’s final 10 minutes to seal the victory for Jacobs (4-3).

Brown said. “I was finishing high and trying to fix it. My offspeed, I was spinning off, and I was having trouble fixing that. I was walking guys, and I had to fight through it. It felt good. You could probably tell, I was getting a little pumped up.”

Turner threw the last 12/3 innings and did not allow a hit, but issued two seventh-inning walks.

The Tigers (3-2) managed only three hits and stranded nine runners, three of whom made it to third base.

“We let too many first-pitch fastballs go by,” Central coach Tom Mueller said. “Then [Brown] would make a good pitch on Strike 2, and we’re hacking at that one. You don’t get a good swing on that one. We played a clean game in the field, we pitched well enough, you can’t win if you don’t score. We just didn’t have any timely hitting.”

Staples finished with three hits, three strikeouts and three walks.

“Give them credit, they only scored in one inning,” Mueller said. “But they hit when they needed to hit. They had good at-bats when they needed to.”

• Sunday, April 2, 2017

CRYSTAL LAKE – Woodstock felt like it utilized a solid hitting approach through the first four innings with little to show for it against Crystal Lake Central left-hander Jake Staples.

The Blue Streaks managed only one hit and one runner past first base.

Sophomore first baseman Jacob Waryck was thrilled to change that in the fifth. Waryck ripped a 2-0 pitch into left-center field for a double, starting a four-run inning as Woodstock defeated the Tigers, 4-0, in a nonconference baseball game Saturday at Fred Tipps Field.

“I knew I needed to get a big hit to start up our team so we could get going,” Waryck said. “It was 0-0, so I didn’t have any pressure on me. I just waited back and I knew it was a good pitch when he threw it. I hit it and I knew it was in the gap – I had a double.”

Waryck moved to third on a wild pitch, then scored on Kyle Dehn-Franklin’s single up the middle. The Streaks

Woodstock coach Matt Prill said. “We were getting in hitters’ counts, but I tip my cap to their pitcher (Staples), he q UNSUNG HERO was in the zone. We were able to chase Evan Geske him and get to the bullpen and mainWoodstock, so., SS tain that approach.”

jcowley@suntimes.com CHICAGO – The “Killer” added another victim Saturday.

This time it was the Atlanta Hawks who found out just what extent Jimmy Butler will go to get his friend, Dwyane Wade, to the playoffs.

It was 10 days ago Butler told the Sun-Times that Wade (right elbow) would be able to come back and play in the postseason if Butler could help lead the Bulls there.

“That’s my goal right now,” Butler would say then. “Go out there and be the killer to take us to these wins.”

How about putting in 42-plus minutes of work, scoring 33 points – including two free throws with 2.1 seconds left to win it – and also adding eight assists?

And Butler did more than just get the Bulls (37-39) back into the Eastern Conference playoff picture with the 106-104 victory.

The win moved them from the outside looking in to jumping both idle Mi-

“I wouldn’t say that’s what I’m asked to do, but that’s what I want to do,” Butler said of his heavy workload, knowing there was a back-to-back in New Orleans on Sunday. “(Coach) Fred

(Hoiberg) was like, ‘Hey Jimmy, you tired?’ I was like, ‘No. I want to play, I want to be the reason that we win.’ So he was looking out for me, telling me we had another one tomorrow.

“But I told him, ‘I’m not worried about tomorrow, I’m worried about the right now.’ ” He wasn’t alone in that mentality, either.

Rajon Rondo continued his resurgence since being put back in the starting lineup, going for 25 points and grabbing a team-high 11 rebounds.

“We’re not stopping at 7,” Rondo said of the Bulls now sitting at No. 7 in the East. “We have a nice schedule ahead of us. We take care of what we need to take care of, we’re trying to

move up even more.”

Not that Atlanta didn’t make the Bulls work for their third straight win.

Kent Bazemore extended Atlanta’s lead to 84-79 with a 37-footer at the horn, putting the Bulls on the ropes for the start of the fourth quarter. It also seemed to add to Atlanta’s momentum, and momentum they carried into the early minutes of the final stanza, extending the lead to 10 with 9:29 left in the game.

The Bulls had an answer, and cut the deficit to three with 3:11 left in the game on a Denzel Valentine 3-pointer.

By the time Butler nailed a 3-pointer with 1:59 left, the score was tied.

Dennis Schroder, who haunted the Bulls all afternoon, made his own statement, hitting a jumper with 35.8 seconds left, giving the Hawks a two-point lead and him 29 points.

But it was Butler, once again, scoring inside with 32.9 seconds left.

After an Atlanta turnover, Butler fixed his cape, drawing the foul with 2.1 seconds left and sinking both free throws.

The Hawks (39-37) had a last-second 3-point attempt from Tim Hardaway Jr., but it went hard off the back of the rim, ending the game.

“I see guys doing what they’re supposed to be doing out there,” Butler said. “Playing hard, shooting the ball when they’re open, not trying to do too much, and that’s what we need.”

NAISMITH BASKETBALL HALL OF FAME

Former Bulls GM Krause elected to Hall

By JOE COWLEY

jcowley@suntimes.com CHICAGO – Fred Hoiberg not only expressed his joy with the news Saturday that former Bulls general manager Jerry Krause was headed into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame as part of the 2017 Class, but relayed a story of when Krause signed him to play for the Bulls.

Krause, who died 11 days before the call Jerry Krause to the Hall became official, was the architect of six Bulls NBA Championships and responsible for surrounding Hall of Famer Michael Jordan with the likes of Scottie Pippen, Horace Grant, Toni Kukoc and Dennis Rodman, as well as the hiring of coach Phil Jackson.

about his body of work with the Bulls.

I know it is bittersweet for Thelma and his family, as this means a great deal to them as well. It’s a shame that he won’t be here to enjoy this honor, but I know his family is extremely happy.”

A member of the Bulls front office for 18 years, Krause took over the basketball operations department on March 26, 1985. He also was a baseball scout, responsible for the White Sox acquiring Ozzie Guillen in a trade with San Diego.

That’s why Guillen came to Krause’s defense last week when the news broke of the 77-year-old dying, with Guillen pointing out that the many Krause critics often were “unfair’’ in their assessment of him.

“Nobody gave him the credit he should get,” Guillen said. “To put yourself in two really, really different sports, and have success in both, that’s not easy. When you do that, you are successful in life.”

GLENDALE, Ariz. – Their star guard was outstanding. Their big men dominated inside. Still, it came down to some last-second strategy for Gonzaga to move on to the NCAA tournament championship game for the first time.

Nigel Williams-Goss scored 23 points, Gonzaga’s big men combined for 27 and the Bulldogs kept South Carolina from taking a game-tying shot in a 77-73 victory Saturday night in a matchup of first-time teams at the Final Four.

“Just an awesome, awesome basketball game with just how hard both teams competed,” Gonzaga coach Mark Few said. “It took Nigel everything we had to hold them off Williams-Goss and come back.”

The Bulldogs’ 7-footers, senior Przemek Karnowski and freshman Zach Collins, took care of things on both ends of the court, combining for 18 rebounds. Collins also had a career-high six blocks.

“That’s my job is to go in and rim protect,” said Collins, who had 14 points and 13 rebounds. “I had four fouls today. But I thought, you know, getting those blocked shots would help us.”

Gonzaga (37-1), the top seed in the West Region of the NCAA tournament, will face North Carolina, a 77-76 winner over Oregon, for the title Monday night.

“To be playing the last game of the year, that’s crazy cool,” Few said.

North Carolina (33-6) led the entire second half and appeared poised, time after time, for a knockout of the neversay-die Ducks (32-7).

Never happened. And after Keith Smith’s layup pulled Oregon within one with 7 seconds left, it looked like it would come down to free throws.

It did, and it wasn’t pretty.

GLENDALE, Ariz. – North Carolina missed the shots. No surprise there.

Kennedy Meeks saved the game. No surprise there, either.

Meeks, the only Tar Heel who could shoot straight Saturday night, grabbed the game-saving offensive rebound in a 77-76 victory over Oregon after ice-cold Carolina missed its fourth straight free throw down the stretch.

Meeks had plenty to mop up.

6 WHITE SOX

Abreu lighter, mentally and physically

By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN dvanschouwen@suntimes.com

Predicting individual performance is an inexact science and a slippery slope, but take these factors into account when looking at the season that lies ahead for White Sox first baseman Jose Abreu: n Abreu is coming off a strong second half in 2016 after making a correction in his swing. n He also finished strong this spring, belting his third homer on the final day in Arizona and his fourth Saturday in Milwaukee, taking the team lead in RBI with 16. n Physically, he said feels better than ever, heading into the season 8 pounds lighter than last spring. n The same thing can be said mentally. He is in a much better place, with that dramatic testimony in federal court last month behind him, than he has been since coming to the United States from Cuba in November 2013.

“Obviously, there were a lot of things going on here in the recent past for him,” manager Rick Renteria said.

“Hopefully, those are behind him, and he can concentrate on playing baseball. He’s been tremendously focused this spring. And he’s working hard.”

Signed to a six-year, $68 million deal, the biggest in Sox history, Abreu made that investment look sound when he

Hannah Ritter went 3 for 3 with a double and two RBIs, Megan Anthony was 3 for 4 with a double and three RBIs, Anna Walsweer was 2 for 4 with a double, two runs scored and an RBI, and Grace Houghton went 2 for 3 with a double and two RBIs. Susie Nawrot finished 2 for 4 with a double and two runs scored, and McKenna Skow scored four times as a pinch runner. Riley O’Connell (2-0) earned the win, allowing three runs (one earned) on six hits over seven innings.

She struck out six and walked two.

Against Stillman Valley, the Indians took a 1-0 lead into the bottom of the seventh, but the Cardinals scored two runs on an RBI double by Macy Weaver and an RBI hit by Breanna Crown to send Marengo (5-1) to its first loss.

batted .317 with an American Leaguehigh .581 slugging percentage, 36 home runs and 107 RBIs. He was the 2014 AL Rookie of the Year and finished fourth in AL Most Valuable Player voting.

The numbers declined in the next two seasons, but only marginally (.293, 25 homers, 100 RBIs in 2016). And there is that strong second half (.319/.384/.514 slash line, 14 homers after the All-Star break) to hang his hat on, which allowed him to become the first Sox player to boast three Jose Abreu consecutive seasons of 30-plus doubles, 25-plus homers and 100-plus RBIs to start his career.

Abreu, Albert Pujols and Joe DiMaggio are the only players to have 25 homers, 100 RBIs and 175 hits in their first three seasons. Having played professionally in Cuba puts an asterisk on Abreu’s feat, but still.

What matters now is that Abreu, in his prime at 30, is in a good place as his fourth Opening Day (3:10 p.m. Monday, CSN) approaches.

“I feel good,’’ Abreu said. “I feel like my offense is in the same spot it was at the end of [last] season.’’

In fact, Abreu said he feels better than ever. Those close to him say he’s in his best place mentally since he

Jacobs 6-2, Harlem 3-8: At Machesney Park, Savannah Svedman and Gaby Silva both hit home runs in the first game of a nonconference doubleheader split for the Golden Eagles.

In the first game, Svedman finished 2 for 4 with a double, a run scored and an RBI, and Silva went 2 for 4 with two RBIs. Emily Pena went 3 for 4 with two RBIs, Jess Mrzlak was 2 for 4 with two runs scored, and Kerri Healy was 2 for 4 with a run scored for Jacobs (2-1).

Svedman earned the victory, allowing three runs (two earned) on five hits over seven innings with two strikeouts and five walks. Svedman also pitched Game 2 and took the loss, giving up eight runs (three earned) on eight hits over six innings with a strikeout.

Healy went 2 for 4 with a double and a run scored, Drew Lehman had a hit and drove in one, and Pena had a hit with a run scored. Alexis Addante and Silva both stole a base.

came to the Sox. “I didn’t come to camp as early as I usually do, but I worked hard at my house, did all my preparation, and I feel really good,” he said.

During the offseason, Abreu focused in his workouts on getting lighter, and he said he resisted temptations such as chocolate and Coke, a practice he persuaded family members to buy into, as well.

At 247 pounds – Abreu said he left camp at 255 last year – “I would say I’m in the best shape of the four years I’ve been here,” he said. “I feel really, really good.”

With an appearance in federal court to testify in the Cuban player smuggling trial against a former agent and trainer four weeks ago behind him, Abreu said his mind is clear to focus on baseball. The trainer, Julio Estrada, was the best man at Abreu’s wedding.

Among the revelations during the trial was the duress Abreu functioned under during the turbulent and sometimes dangerous process of getting from Cuba to the United States. Abreu testified that he ate part of his passport on a flight to Miami in 2013 to cover up illegal travel.

Now, much of the baggage he carried during his first three seasons no longer is strapped to his back.

“The troubles were there,” Abreu said. “But now they are in the past, and I feel good, 100 percent focused on the game. My mind can be perfectly clear.”

Tiffany Giese (3-1) took the loss, allowing eight earned runs on 13 hits over 42/3 innings with two strikeouts and five walks. Giese was 2 for 3 at the plate, Breanne Weiss was 2 for 2, and Autumn Kasal went 1 for 2 with a double and a run scored.

Elk Grove Village 7, Huntley 6: At Barrington’s Field of Dreams, the Raiders scored two runs in the bottom of the seventh, but their comeback fell short in a nonconference defeat.

Rylie Porretto went 2 for 3 with a home run, double, three RBIs and two runs scored for Huntley (3-2), Sofia Tenuta hit a solo homer, and Taylor Pacana was 2 for 3 with a steal and a run scored.

Kateri Conklin (0-1) took the loss, giving up four runs on two hits over 11/3 innings. She struck out two and walked three.

The Red Raiders beat Antioch, 5-1; Mundelein, 5-1; and Warren, 4-2. Also in the tournament, Cary-Grove was 2-1.

The Trojans fell to Wauconda, 4-2, and swept Antioch and Mundelein, 6-0.

Opening Day roster: The Opening Day roster came into focus a few days ago and was set with no surprises Saturday while they were playing their final game of spring training, a 5-4 loss to the Brewers in Milwaukee. The roster will be made official after the team’s workout Sunday morning at Guaranteed Rate Field. The Sox open the season Monday against the Tigers.

Here’s how the roster breaks down: Pitchers – Jose Quintana, James Shields, Miguel Gonzalez, Derek Holland, Dylan Covey, David Robertson, Nate Jones, Jake Petricka, Zach Putnam, Dan Jennings, Anthony Swarzak, Michael Ynoa Outfielders – Melky Cabrera, Avisail Garcia, Jacob May, Cody Asche Infielders – Todd Frazier, Tim Anderson, Tyler Saladino, Yolmer Sanchez, Matt Davidson, Abreu, Leury Garcia.

Catchers – Omar Narvaez, Geovany Soto Looks like we made it: Soto, Asche and Swarzak were nonroster invitees to spring training. The left-handed hitting Asche and right-handed hitting Davidson will be used at designated hitter, but it’s not a two-man platoon. Renteria plans to fill the DH slot with numerous options, including Abreu, Cabrera and Frazier to help keep them fresh.

Once considered a top Phillies prospect, Asche, 26, could be the Opening Day DH against righty Justin Verlander.

• HUNTLEY INVITE

Continued from page 2 On the adjacent field, Huntley (3-1-1) also scored early, getting a 10th-minute goal from Avery Fitzgerald before Brenna Keegan made it 2-0 at halftime.

In the second half, Tayah Owens and Lauren Talesky added goals within a minute of one another to make it 4-0 for the hosts. Hannah Scholer assisted on two of the goals, while Keegan and Braidy Ceh each had an assist.

“We moved off the ball much better than we have moved off the ball to this point,” Grabner said. “Once we won the ball, we were much more organized and our movement was a little bit better for holding the ball. Our center mids also did a nice job when they had the space of penetrating and then dishing the ball out, and that was huge.

“Defensively, I thought we did a decent job. They’re playing a little bit better soccer finally. I feel like they were in panic mode for the first few games, just trying to get them settled down and connect passes. The passing was significantly better. The runs from our wings were a lot better, too. That all helped.”

BALLPARK ATMOSPHERE

There is no better atmosphere in baseball than when the Cubs and Cardinals play, particularly in the heat of summer.

For the most part, fans of both teams keep it friendly. Large swaths of red can be found at Wrigley Field, with Cardinals fans making the trek north on Interstate 55. Cubs blue dots all reaches of Busch Stadium when the scene shifts to St. Louis.

One of the most famous games in Cubs history – the “Sandberg game” on June 23, 1984 – featured Ryne Sandberg hitting a pair of home runs off Cardinals reliever Bruce Sutter, a former Cub, in a game the Cubs won, 12-11 in 11 innings.

The cover of the Cubs’ media guide celebrates the 2016 World Series championship.

The cover of the St. Louis Cardinals’ media guide celebrates the team’s 125th anniversary.

This is something new.

The Cardinals were the ones who put their pennants and World Series-winning ways out front while the Cubs searched for things to celebrate.

The Cards still lead the Cubs in world championships, 11-3. The Cubs lead the all-time regular-season series between the two clubs, 1,207-1,156, dating to 1892. But even over the past decade, the Cardinals hold an 89-81 edge over the Cubs.

Things started changing in the fall of 2015 when the third-place Cubs knocked the first-place Cardinals out of the playoffs with a stunning division-series victory, capped by Kyle Schwarber’s videoboard home run.

The Cardinals did not make the playoffs last year as the Cubs fought their way to their first world championship since 1908.

The trend appears to favor the Cubs, who have a deep talent pool, the advantages of playing in a big market and ownership committed to winning.

But history suggests not counting out the Cardinals.

These two teams will open their 2017 seasons against each other on “Sunday Night Baseball” at Busch Stadium.

As we enter this new chapter between the Cubs and their Gateway Arch rivals, let’s take a fun look at what makes this Midwestern rivalry so great.

got a whole decade full of what’s coming,” Baker said. “This is just the beginning. They’ve been beating up on us for a long time. So I think the best thing for him to do is just leave us alone. Just play your game and be quiet.”

Schweinsteiger, a World Cup winner with Germany, was acquired from Manchester United on March 21 after the 32-year-old struggled to replicate the highs of his Bayern Munich career.

U.S. beats Russia at women’s hockey world championships

PLYMOUTH, Mich. – Amanda Kessel rediscovered just how good it feels to score a goal for your country.

The American forward missed more than 11/2 years after the 2014 Winter Olympics because of a concussion. There were times during her recovery when Kessel wondered if she ever would represent her country again.

She scored her first international goal in more than two years Saturday in the United States’ 7-0 win over Russia at the women’s world hockey championship.

1997 MASTERS: 20 YEARS LATER

By JIM LITKE

The ASSOCIATED PRESS

AP file photo

Tiger Woods celebrates as he wins the 1997 Masters with a record-breaking 18-under-par April 13, 1997, at the Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, Ga. It has been 20 years since Woods won the Masters for the first time by a record 12 shots. jangle the coins in his pocket in the middle of a backswing. As he got older, Earl progressed – digressed, really – to dropping clubs, hopping up and down, yelling, cussing, even using the occasional N-word. None of it dented his son’s suit of armor.

Sometime past midnight, Earl checked off the last box on his list.

“Just get in your own little world,” he said, “and go out there and just thrash ’em.”

Tiger did.

He was as thin as a 2-iron then, supple as Gumby, and Woods controlled the golf ball like no one you ever had seen. Twenty records fell over the four days – youngest Masters champion, lowest score, biggest margin of victory, etc. – yet that only hinted at Woods’ readiness for the grand stage.

When Nick Faldo, the previous year’s champion, draped the green jacket over Woods’ shoulders at the trophy ceremony, it marked almost

50 years to the day that Jackie Robinson broke baseball’s color barrier. The Spartan white Augusta clubhouse in the background was a subtle reminder that on matters of race, golf had been dragging its cleats.

But gifted an athlete such as Woods, a blend of talent and charisma whose appeal stretched from lush suburban courses to raggedy inner-city driving ranges, the game hopped aboard.

“I was there waiting for the finish.

It was a foregone conclusion,” former PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem recalled. “From then on it was only a question of details.

“How many does he win? Does he challenge the big, long-term records?” he said. “If he stays like this, and plays like this, and stays healthy and challenges the big records – which takes decades – that’s going to be an awesome impact on the game.”

LPGA TOUR ANA Inspiration: At Rancho Mirage,

California, Lexi Thompson excelled on an extra-long day, taking the lead while completing her wind-delayed second round before moving two shots ahead of Norway’s Suzann Pettersen with a third-round 67.

After playing 28 holes Saturday, Thompson is at 13-under 203 heading into Sunday’s final round.

Ten players are within five shots of the lead at the LPGA Tour’s first major of the year, including Inbee Park, Michelle Wie and Ariya Jutanugarn.

CHAMPIONS TOUR Mississippi Gulf Resort Classic: At

Biloxi, Mississippi, Gene Sauers shot a 9-under 63 to take a one-shot lead after the second round.

The 54-year-old Sauers started the day three shots behind leader Joe Durant at Fallen Oak, but moved up the leaderboard with five birdies and an eagle on the front nine. He made bogey on No. 10, but recovered with three birdies over the final eight holes. He’s at 12 under for the tournament.

• Sunday, April 2, 2017 *

HUMBLE, Texas – Sung Kang shot a 1-under-par 71 to hold a threeshot lead over Rickie Fowler after the third round of the Houston Open on Saturday.

After shooting a tournament course record 9-under 63 on Friday, Kang took a commanding six-shot lead with a 36-hole tournament record of 129 through two rounds.

However, on Saturday, it was Fowler’s day to chase history, shooting a 5-under 67 Sung Kang to trim Kang’s lead as they head into the final round.

After Thursday’s 8-under 64, Fowler held a one-shot lead over Kang after the first round, but slipped to fourth Friday with a 71.

He returned to form Saturday and has a PGA Tour career-best 22 birdies through three rounds.

Behind Kang and Fowler at 17-under 199 and 14-under 202 through three rounds, respectively, Russell Henley is 13-under 203 and Luke List is 12-under 204. No one else is within eight shots of Kang.

The Associated Press AUGUSTA, Ga. – His Masters win 20 years ago would have marked the apex of just about every other golfer’s career. It’s worth remembering now that Tiger Woods was just getting started.

He’s vowed to attend the Champions Dinner, but the four-time Masters champion announced Friday night that he won’t play this year because of an ailing back. His latest attempt to jump-start a career derailed by chronic injuries ended miserably in February, when Woods walked off the course at the Dubai Desert Classic with back spasms.

“I’m trying everything to be able to get back and play,” he said last week.

“I love that event. It’s meant so much to me in my life. It has so much history and meaning to me, I’d love to get back.”

One thing that hasn’t changed: When Woods plays, everyone pays attention. These days, it might amount to no more than a casual check of where he’s placed in the field.

But in 1997, you couldn’t take your eyes off him.

Woods shot 40 on his opening nine in his first major championship as a pro and still won by 12 strokes. He averaged 25 yards longer off the tee than the next closest player, blowing by bunkers and firing darts into the roly-poly greens with shorter irons and from angles no one else had even considered.

He made everything inside 8 feet.

The powers-that-be at Augusta National wouldn’t get around to “Tiger-proofing” the place for three more years. But there already was a whiff of panic in the air.

“Obviously the Masters Committee has to be a little concerned,” veteran pro Tom Kite weighed in after Saturday’s third round in 1997. “They’ve got a golf course that’s pretty darn tough, and they’ve got somebody just ripping it up.”

Woods stayed up late that night talking with his father, Earl, about how to rip it up some more.

Earl had turned over control of Tiger’s swing to more capable teachers long ago. But because military habits die hard, the ex-Green Beret reserved the job of toughening up the kid for himself.

When Tiger was starting out, he’d

When a young Tiger grabbed golf by the tail

GOLF ROUNDUP

• TIGER

Continued from page 9 Woods was even better than advertised. As he took off, prize money and TV ratings soared. Galleries swelled and occasionally got rowdy. Some old-timers blanched, but golf suddenly seemed a lot cooler.

Taking their cues from Woods, kids wandered onto courses from Florida to California, Northern Ireland to South Africa, Australia, Argentina and a thousand points in between. A serious few stayed with it, following his blueprint, emulating his fitness and adopting his survival-of-the-fittest approach to every competition.

Those are the ones who walk nonchalantly past Woods and his tee shots nowadays on the way to their own. They constitute the deepest pool of talent the game ever has seen. But in 1997, they were only fans.

“I was 9 and just getting into golf,” Australian Jason Day, the No. 3-ranked player in the world, recalled recently. “My dad had this turn-knob TV with bunny ears. You had to move the antenna to get the right picture, and it was really

Tiger Woods, 1997 Masters champion, receives his Green Jacket from the previous year’s winner, Nick Faldo on April 13, 1997, at the Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, Ga. early in the morning. I remember him walking up the 18th and he obliterated the field.

“I started playing more golf than I usually did,” he added.

“And then I read a book about him when I was 14. So, they’re the two moments that really kind of changed my life.”

Instead of being inspired, the old guard playing alongside Woods at that Masters was terrified.

“It threw me into a tailspin seeing how much talent a guy like that had. It affected me,” said Steve Stricker, who has partnered with Woods in U.S. team events for years. “I don’t have any problem saying it now. But it took me a while to get out of the funk, thinking, ‘I can’t do what he’s doing.’ ” At that moment, however, Woods wasn’t worried about usurpers, young or old, and

the horizon wasn’t the only thing that appeared limitless.

Just 21, he looked like he could go on winning forever.

Woods did for the next dozen years, everything and everywhere, but especially at the biggest events, putting himself well ahead of pace to rip the most revered record in golf – 18 career majors – from Jack Nicklaus. Then life thrashed him back.

Some argue that began at the 2008 U.S. Open, where Woods won his last major after a scratch-and-claw duel with Rocco Mediate in a Monday playoff. He hobbled off with the trophy and, it turned out, stress fractures in both his knee and tibia that required reconstruction barely two weeks later.

Still only 32, Woods began falling apart like a used car.

The next year brought an even more literal thrashing.

First came his “Buster Douglas” moment in August, when little-known Y.E. Yang went off in the final group on the final day of the PGA Championship paired with Woods and beat him by three shots.

It marked the first time Woods had failed to seal the deal in a

major after holding at least a share of the 54-hole lead.

That small tear in his cloak of invincibility hinted at the trouble ahead. Two months later, after a Thanksgiving night fight with his wife over widely rumored infidelities, Woods raced out of his driveway and crashed into a tree, knocking himself unconscious. Neither his image nor his golf game ever completely recovered.

He’s won eight times on the PGA Tour since, but none after 2013. The chain-reaction crash set off by that 2008 injury has reached down to both Achilles tendons through his back and on up to his neck. It didn’t help that at points in between, Woods ignored his inner circle’s advice and sneaked in a few days of training with Navy Seals.

He has grown increasingly guarded about his life. He even named his yacht Privacy.

Turns out Woods wasn’t kidding. In an interview last year, he told Time magazine what he’d like his legacy to be: “The best thing,” Woods said, “would be to not be remembered.”

Good luck with that.

They’re playing at an all-time high.

Morgan William is playing some of the best basketball I’ve ever seen played in a player.”

William followed a career-best 41-point performance in the regional final, hitting the 15-footer against the Huskies.

“We feel like we won it all when we won that game last night, but we know we didn’t,” William said. “We still have unfinished business, and for us to be playing South Carolina, it’s kind of like, now we get another chance, like we got another chance at UConn, now we get another opportunity to play against South Carolina, but it’s on a bigger stage and it means more.”

DALLAS – Vic Schaefer and his Mississippi State Bulldogs didn’t get much time to celebrate what might be the greatest shocker in women’s basketball history.

Not when there’s one more game to win, not when there’s a national championship on the line against Southeast Conference rival South Carolina.

“They’re really grounded. Our kids Morgan know what’s coming William down the pike,” he said. “They know now the prize now is in front of them; it’s attainable. We have one heck of a team to get ready for, a tremendous staff. They’re really, really good. But it’s down to the two of us.”

Right after Morgan William hit the winner to end UConn’s 111-game winning streak, the Bulldogs dogpiled at center court as if they had won the school’s first title.

“It felt like the national champi-

onship last night,” Mississippi State star Dominique Dillingham said. “But I promise you it’ll be a lot better tomorrow when we win.”

It would be even sweeter to beat the Gamecocks to do it.

The Bulldogs lost twice to the Gamecocks this season, dropping a game in South Carolina in the regular season and then in the SEC tournament title game.

“The first game we had against them at their place, it’s a knockdown, drag-out, came down to one play,” Schaefer said. “We talkDawn Staley ed about that with our kids. It came down to one play in that ballgame.”

Although facing a familiar foe is helpful for the short turnaround, South Carolina coach Dawn Staley knows Mississippi State is a different team from the one the Gamecocks played a month ago.

“It does make it easier, ... but for what Mississippi State has done over the past five games, you know, they’re much different than they were that sixth game in which we played them in

12 BLACKHAWKS

Stars peaking as postseason nears

Hawks Central Division champs, top seed in West with Wild loss

By MARK LAZERUS

mlazerus@suntimes.com Patrick Kane might have been able to score the empty-netter on his own, but Seth Jones, the lone Columbus player back, began to close in on him, so Kane calmly dished the puck to Artemi Panarin, who gladly took the easy tally in the final minute Friday night. It was Panarin’s second goal of the game, and moved him into 10th place in points among the league’s forwards – a spot that would trigger a $1.725 million bonus at the end of the season.

So is Kane trying to get his buddy paid?

“Not really thinking about that so much,” he said with a laugh. “Just trying to make the right plays out there.

I’m not even sure where he stands, (but) I’m sure it’ll be a topic of conver-

sation coming down here the last couple of games.”

Last year, Panarin had seven goals and 13 assists in the last 12 games to earn his bonus. He is closing strong again, with four goals and an assist in his past three games. Although it could wreak havoc on the Blackhawks’ salary-cap situation in the offseason, it’s a nice problem to have. And Panarin is hardly the only Hawks star getting hot down the stretch.

With the playoffs less than two weeks away, Artemi and with the Hawks Panarin clinching the Central Division title and top seed in the Western Conference with Saturday’s Minnesota Wild loss, nearly all of the Hawks’ biggest names are peaking at the right time.

Kane has five assists in the past two games, and was named the NHL’s third star of the month after posting 10 goals and 12 assists in 16 March games. Marian Hossa has four goals in his past six games. Jonathan Toews has three goals and six assists in the past 10 games.

Richard Panik has five goals in his past nine games. Nick Schmaltz has seven assists in his past seven games. And Corey Crawford allowed only two total goals against two of the best teams in the league, Pittsburgh and Columbus, in back-to-back impressive victories.

“I still think our best hockey’s got to be ahead of us to have all the success we’re looking for,” Hawks coach Joel Quenneville said. “But our top guys, when they’re our best players, we’ll always be in a good place.”

Crawford’s strong play of late is the most encouraging of all. After a brilliant start to the season, Crawford didn’t look quite like himself after missing three weeks in December because of an appendectomy. He had a dismal .891 save percentage in January, and a modest .913 in February. In March, he posted a stellar .931 save percentage, giving up only one goal in five of his 12 appearances, and two goals in three others.

Other than a couple of debacles against Vancouver and Florida, Crawford has been rounding into form, and not a moment too soon.

“I feel pretty good, I feel strong,”

Crawford said. “It’s good to be sharp – being able to follow the play, push and get to the play early, and be aggressive when I can be. It’s always good to get out there, to challenge shooters and take space away. Right now, I feel good, the team’s looking [good], we’ve just got to keep pushing.”

With the top seed locked up, Quenneville has suggested he’ll rest some of his big-name players on the final road trip of the season – Colorado, Anaheim and Los Angeles. But with so many of his key players so hot, it’ll be a delicate balance between fanning those flames, and preserving their minutes and their health for the postseason grind.

Oh, and as for Panarin’s bonus, Quenneville never has stood in the way of a player getting paid, and is unlikely to start now.

“All that matters is winning hockey games, and this team has done that really well,” Crawford said. “Our top players have been the difference throughout the year in games, scoring big goals and making great plays at the right time. Our core guys are an important part, a really big part, and they show up.”

Antigua Guatemala rolls out the flower carpet for Easter

By GIOVANNA DELL’ORTO The Associated Press

ANTIGUA GUATEMALA, Guatemala – The rising sun hasn’t lit up the cobblestone streets of this colonial city yet, but people of all ages are busy covering them with brightly colored sawdust mosaics and carpets made of flowers and fruits.

Many have worked overnight on these elaborate masterpieces that will disappear in a couple of minutes under the feet of dozens of men carrying in procession a 3-ton religious float.

Whether shouldering massive sacred images or decorating the streets where they will pass, the people of Antigua Guatemala create one of the world’s most dazzling and moving displays of Easter devotion.

That makes early spring an ideal time to visit this volcano-ringed city that looks remarkably as it did 500 years ago when it was the capital of Spain’s Central American empire.

Easter festivities kick off the fifth Sunday of Lent – April 2 this year – with the first procession revering Jesus’s passion. A group of 90 “cucuruchos,” as the purple-robed and hooded volunteers are called, shoulders a block-long wooden float at the parish of San Bartolome Becerra at 6 a.m.

Every 100 meters on the 12-kilometer route, a new group will relieve the sweating, swaying men, until the antique sculpture of Jesus falling under the weight of the cross has made its way through the city center. There are approximately 9,000 carriers. Some are from Antigua but they also come from across Central America and even from

It will be 1 a.m. the next day before the last group deposits the float back at San Bartolome, said Hiram Salazar, spokesman for Hermandad de Jesus Nazareno de la Caida, the Catholic confraternity in charge of this procession first recorded in 1902.

5 ways to get creative with Easter treats

By LEANNE ITALIE • The Associated Press

An upcycled DIY Easter basket made from four brown paper grocery bags, cut into strips and woven together.

NEW YORK – With Easter coming up, it’s time to start plotting how to best your kid baskets from last year. Some ideas:

1.

Get creative with popcorn

Is there anything more versatile than popcorn?

You can chocofy it, caramelize it or dye it in your favorite Easter hues. Try adding jellybeans or other Easter candy for added color, and mini marshmallows for added texture.

There’s no end to the mixes and flavor combinations. This is your chance to get beyond the usual and have some fun. An abundance of recipes already exist on the internet. The site Twosisterscrafting.com used salted sweet cream, primary color jellybeans and pastel sprinkles for an Easter feel.

2.

Make some carrots

Or at least carrot shapes. Look for packs of carrot-shaped cello bags at craft and other stores and have at it.

Fill them with Reese’s pieces or fish-shaped crackers for a carrot orange look, or just fill them with anything you want because the carrot shape is still fun for little kids.

Cello-wrapped carrot cargo fits nicely with just about anything else you might want to include in kid Easter baskets. If you’re going for the real-carrot feel, added a little green ribbon at the top.

On the Net Tips from the pros: • Twosisterscrafting. com has a popcorn recipe with an Easter feel • SimplyCelebrate.net suggests putting a slip of paper in an egg that says something you love about the recipient.

3.

Ditch the basket

Photo provided by Lila Griffith via AP

Forget the traditional basket and fill a dump truck, inflatable wading pool or toy shopping cart with gifts and treats. Kids often ditch a basic basket but would have loads of fun with these receptacles as something extra.

A pull wagon would work, or a cartoon- or character-themed bucket filled with matching items.

One creative soul on Pinterest made good use of a clear vinyl rain umbrella, laying down a bed of iridescent plastic Easter grass on the inside and nestling toys and treats on top.

Others used baseball caps as the catchall. One twist for what goes inside: Put a chocolate kiss in a plastic egg with a slip of paper that details something you love about the basket recipient, suggests Sherry Richert Belul of the gift site SimplyCelebrate.net.

Lia Griffith, a DIY crafter and designer, made a cute, sturdy Easter basket out of upcycled brown paper grocery bags using a woven design. The project takes four to five bags.

4.

Reach for string

You know those string eggs made by soaking yarn or embroidery thread in diluted glue, homemade paste or sugar water, then wrapping it around a water balloon before popping for a lattice look? Take that an extra step for Easter.

One idea: Open up a wide hole and create an Easter diorama, or keep it simple using Easter grass and a large chocolate bunny. Or take on a favorite theme, such as icy blue and white for “Frozen.”

Use bright yellow string and your big gap as the wide open mouth of a candy-filled Minion.

Head to Pinterest for inspiration. Add bits of ribbon trim or blingy faux jewels.

5.

Peeps on sticks

There are oh so many things to do with these Easter evergreens as the peeps at Peeps come up with new types and flavors every year. Try poking them with chocolate-dipped and embellished pretzels, or pairing them with other easily pokable treats using kebab skewers. One health-conscious pinner paired Peeps on a stick with strawberries and chunks of colorful fruit.

Wrap your Peeps on sticks in cello and add a colorful tie or ribbon.

If playing with melted chocolate and sprinkles isn’t your thing, make a bouquet of Peeps on sticks and arrange them in a vase or basket with Easter grass and other treats.

Resilience and courage: lessons we learn from loss I have been thinking about how we manage to live in a world with so much pain and loss; how we, as a species, knowing we are mortal and will someday die, can wake up in the morning and bravely face a new day – some of us even with a smile, in appreciation for the fact that we awaken at all.

Some of us find meaning in religion. Some of us in love and affection for our families. Some of us, I suspect, because we feel a sense of obligation.

And many of us because we refuse to think about the human conundrum at all. Of course, a few of us decide we can’t go on and check out early.

The majority of us, though, bravely pick up the flag of the fallen and forge ahead.

My family is gathering to commemorate the loss of a former husband, father of my children, a man who left

an indelible mark of his life on all of us. His last wife is hosting the memorial, and I can’t express how honored I feel that she invited me to help celebrate his life. We used to joke, on his birthday, that we were gathering for a meeting of the “Marvin Green Beautification and Appreciation Society.” In her invitation, Anne alluded to this society and said this was to be the “last meeting.”

In the course of more than 30 years as a therapist, I have counseled many clients through the loss of parents, mates, friends, beloved pets, and, in some cases, their own impending deaths.

I am always in awe when we come to the moment that they once again embrace life and find the acceptance to move forward despite the pain, carrying their scars with them.

When I was in the third grade, return-

StraightTalk Rick Atwater

ing from sharpening my pencil, Mark Slade stabbed me with his own recently sharpened No. 2, breaking the lead off in my left leg, just above the knee.

I never acknowledged this, as I didn’t want to give him the satisfaction. I don’t know why he did it, whether this was the third-grade equivalent of a box of chocolates, or something else. I liked Mark. I learned to roller skate at his birthday party that year by watching and then emulating how he did it.

That summer, Mark died in an automobile accident, news that greeted us when we started back to school in the fall. We were told the car ended upside down in a stream, and that Mark’s final words were to his younger brother, who was not pinned. “Climb!” he said. His brother survived, though Mark and his father did not.

I remember touching that spot

on my leg where the graphite from his pencil was still embedded, and thinking, “I will always have this to remember you.”

I still have that small, gray pencil point in my body, and there have been occasions when I was filled with despair, and Mark’s final words sounded in my ear. “Climb!” and, so, I did.

In case you are wondering, this story is a metaphor for all the losses we sustain – which in the end sustain us. We are the sum of everyone who has touched our lives, the lessons we learned from them, the courage we found to continue the journey.

Seeking help to overcome regret uncovered in recovery Mr. Atwater: I’ve been in recovery from alcohol and drug addiction for four years. I’ve been regular with AA meetings and talk to my sponsor regularly. I’m a woman in my early 40s, so I did my fair share of things during my drinking career I’m not proud of. In fact, some of the things that have to do with my family, with my kids, still keep me awake at night with guilt and regret. I’ve been told to “let it go,” but I guess I just don’t know how. I want to be free of these feelings, and at times I’m afraid if I don’t get some relief I will drink again, and I really don’t want that.

Do you have any thoughts?

Dear Reader: I think it is the wish of every recovering person that they

can right all the wrongs and clean the slate. The problem is nobody has a clean slate, or ever will. Our goal is not perfection, as that is left for something other than us mortals. I believe there is a quote in the Big Book of AA that says recovery is about “progress not perfection.”

Self–forgiveness, I think, is the hardest kind, and there are lots of barriers to that. I would ask you to look at what the barriers there are for you. Some people keep their guilts and regrets to themselves,and those things, if left in the dark, will metastasize. Other folks can share their secrets but want to grit their teeth and “make them go away.” I haven’t seen either of these meth-

ods work very well. The opposite of keeping secrets is being open and non-judgmental of yourself, and the opposite of “making them go away” is trusting the process to heal you.

I also have heard the phrase, “living amends” around the recovering community. In other words, improve your behavior and let that speak for you. I am clearly in agreement with improving your behavior and keeping your commitments, but current good behavior only goes so far. It prevents the need for further amends, but it doesn’t touch the deeply held, old wounds.

Sometimes guilt can be about ego. I know that sounds odd, but it is important to be clear about what you

did, what harm you caused and also what you didn’t do. Taking blanket responsibility for past events without clarifying your role is not an objective inventory.

I would suggest you and your sponsor revisit your amends list and get clear about harm done to see if anyone needs adding or anything needs clarifying. Then put yourself on the list.

CINDY HEIGL

Hometown: Huntley Latest Book: “In a Heartbeat: My Miraculous Experience of Sudden Cardiac Arrest” Publisher: CreateSpace Release Date: Nov. 11, 2016 Available: Amazon

What’s your new book about?

The book is about the miracles surrounding my sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) and my near-death experience (NDE). In 2014, when I was 28, I found myself admitted to intensive care, in the middle of the night with a broken pacemaker wire. Because the wire wasn’t working correctly, my heart just stopped beating. I flatlined twice and was in sudden cardiac death for over 4 minutes. I know it sounds scary, but it wasn’t. What I experienced was the most beautiful and comforting peace you could imagine. It’s hard to describe, because words don’t exist to describe what I felt. It was perfect. After I was resuscitated, I was so blessed! Everything that needed to happen over the next few days fell into place perfectly. God protected my husband, Jeff, and I, and we ended up being able to go home less than three days after I flatlined. During my recovery, I knew I had to share the peace and hope I experienced. I felt humbly led to put it in a book so anyone and everyone who wanted to, could find comfort through my story.

What genre is your book, and why were you drawn to it?

Non-fiction, near death experience, Christian genres. I was drawn to writing a book about my NDE and SCA because as I shared my experience with friends and family, I could see how impactful it was for them. God blessed me with this amazing story to share, and when I am able to do that, I am continuously blessed by the people I share with.

It’s always win-win. Everyone who heard my story would say, “you have to write a book!” with tears in their eyes.

Who is the intended audience?

Any person searching for peace, hope, or encouragement. Also, anyone who is facing death, in a medical crisis, or has recently lost a loved one. At first I thought the book would be most relevant for sudden cardiac arrest survivors, or their families.

But I have found that lots of people, in all different stages and walks of life, are looking for hope or peace or reassurance. My book is a great reminder that God has a plan for our lives and when we feel like it is spiraling out of control, we are right where we are meant to be.

Why is this story important to you?

It was easy to see how my story could be relevant to people in specific circumstances surrounding death – such as providing comfort to a person who tragically lost a child, parent or friend. I can tell them how supernaturally protected I was and that I did not experience the fear or anxiety I should have felt in the hours and moments before I flatlined. My story could be a source of peace for patients recently given a terminal diagnosis who might fear their coming death. It was not at all what I expected; it was beautiful, peaceful and perfect in every way. I was never alone. In my book, I am clear about my death experience as being the best blessing I have ever received. If I could have stayed in the place I went during sudden cardiac arrest forever, I would have done it in a heartbeat.

But then I saw how my story affected other people in ways I could never have anticipated. Part of the story includes the reality that God had a plan, which was set in motion months before I realized anything was wrong. The plan involved me being uncomfortable and experiencing pain, but ending in a beautiful place with blessings I could not have imagined, let alone asked for. I have seen that part of my experience provide hope in situations that I would not expect a medical story to be relevant.

My testimony is just one of many beautiful, real-life examples of how valued, loved and protected we really are, even when we cannot feel it. I wrote this book because I cannot see who is hurting on the inside and seeking peace, I do not know who needs a little bit of hope to get through the day.

God has a way of providing; aligning our lives and allowing things to fall into place perfectly. I realized a story like mine could bless others in ways I could not imagine. So I put it in a book and trust it will reach the people it is supposed to reach.

How long did it take you to write? What was your process?

The events in my book happened in 2014. I kept a journal and slowly wrote the content of the book over about two years during my recovery. Once I decided to publish the story, it took about six months to complete. Everything was there, I just had to rearrange it from journal entries to a story, add dialogue, etc. My good friend, Erin, an English teacher, helped me edit it. She helped with organization and sequence, and bringing life to the story, rather than it reading more like a document.

What did you enjoy most about writing this book? What was the hardest part?

What I enjoyed most about this book is kind of cheesy, but honestly I grew closer to God while writing it. I wrote the book because I felt God leading me to do it, but I didn’t really want to. I was afraid. So I asked for signs and received them over and over and over. When I started writing, I would spend a lot of time praying, asking God to bless the

book and help me write exactly what I was called to be writing. I’d never written a book and had no idea what I was doing. It was important to me that the book not be a pity party or a story about my medical mishaps. I didn’t want it to be about me at all. I wanted it to glorify God and be a ministry to people in crisis, because I know how scary and isolating that can feel. When I would get discouraged, I would pray for encouragement and wonder if I was really supposed to write this book. Time and time again, I would encounter random people or situations that reassured me I was following God’s will. I know I am weak and need constant reassurances yet God held my hand and blessed me through this process. He brought the right people into my life at the right time to make it happen and thats what I enjoyed most about writing this book.

The hardest part was writing the last chapter.

Originally the book did not include chapter 1 or 9.

Chapter 9 is the last chapter and focuses on my recovery. The pain and brain damage after my SCA. The worst version of me that is emotional, weak and broken. It was much harder to recover than I expected and a much slower process. I did not want to include that part of the story because I felt like it took away from the miracles in the rest of the book. I thought people would be most interested in my near death experience and the hope that brings. But I have found many people tell me the last chapter is as encouraging as the rest of the book.

Expert to speak about Woodstock man’s fight for civil liberties during World War I NORTHWEST HERALD UNION – Eugene Debs left Woodstock in November 1895, after his release from McHenry County Jail, but his legacy and fight for free speech has not been forgotten.

On April 25, Woodstock Celebrates Inc., the McHenry County Historical Society and the Illinois Labor History Society will co-host a program exploring Debs’ fight for civil liberties during World War I. The 7 p.m. program features author Ernest Freeberg, a distinguished professor of humanities at the University of Tennessee. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. at the McHenry County Historical Society Museum, 6422 Main St., Union.

“Debs was a part of Woodstock’s history, and his fight for free speech still echoes throughout America and the world,” said Kathleen Spaltro,

program chairwoman for Woodstock Celebrates. “It’s important not to lose this connection to history, especially when Debs’ right to protest is very much in tune with current concerns.”

Debs was president of the American Railway Union in 1895 when he was imprisoned in the McHenry County Jail in Woodstock for six months Ernest for disobeying a court injunction that sought Freeberg to end a strike against Speaker George Pullman’s massive factory and company town in Chicago. In support of Pullman workers, who had suffered from wage cuts, higher rents and high food costs during the recession of 1893, ARU workers refused to handle Pullman sleeper cars on passenger trains.

A parenting blog

While jailed in Woodstock, Debs grew increasingly cynical about capitalism and came to embrace the labor movement as a type of class warfare.

He later became a major leader of American Socialism. For speaking against the U.S. decision to join the fighting in Europe during World War I, Debs was sentenced to a 10-year prison term.

Freeberg will explore the fight for civil liberties by those who worked to free Debs from prison and the fundamental questions it raised about the balance between individual liberty and national security. Freeberg’s lecture is drawn from his award-winning book, “Democracy’s Prisoner: Eugene V. Debs, The Great War, and the Right to Dissent.”

Admission is $10, payable at the door. For information, call 815-9232267 or visit www.gothistory.org.
