TODAY’S TALKER

O’Reilly out at Fox News Channel, daily still denies harassment allegations The TWEET

By DAVID BAUDER

The Associated Press

NEW YORK – Fox News Channel’s parent company fired Bill O’Reilly on Wednesday following an investigation into harassment allegations, bringing a stunning end to cable news’ most popular program and one that came to define the bravado of his network over 20 years.

O’Reilly lost his job on the same day he was photographed in Rome shaking the hand of Pope Francis.

The downfall of Fox’s most popular – and most lucrative – personality began with an April 2 report in The New York Times that five women had been paid a total of $13 million to keep quiet about disturbing encounters with O’Reilly, who continued to deny any wrongdoing in a statement hours after he Bill O’Reilly was fired. Dozens of his show’s advertisers fled within days, even though O’Reilly’s viewership increased.

O’Reilly’s exit came nine months after his former boss, Fox News CEO Roger Ailes, was ousted following allegations of sexual harassment.

Following the Times story, 21st Century Fox said it had asked the same law firm that investigated Ailes to look into O’Reilly’s behavior. 21st Century Fox leaders Rupert Murdoch and his sons Lachlan and James said in a memo to Fox staff that their decision to ax O’Reilly came following an “extensive review” into the charges.

“I understand how difficult this has been for many of you,” Rupert Murdoch said in a memo to Fox staff.

O’Reilly, denied a chance to say goodbye to his Fox viewers, did so via a statement.

“It is tremendously disheartening that we part ways due to completely unfounded claims,” he said. “But that is the unfortunate reality that many of us in the public eye must live with today. I will always look back on my time at Fox with great pride in the unprecedented success we achieved and with my deepest gratitude to all my dedicated viewers.”

O’Reilly’s dismissal doesn’t signal any change of direction for the network: Fox said conservative pundit Tucker Carlson would move into O’Reilly’s time slot – the second time in three months he’s replaced an exiting primetime personality. Carlson, a veteran who has hosted shows on CNN, MSNBC and PBS, had taken over for Megyn Kelly in January when

WHERE IT’S AT

she announced she was moving to NBC News.

“The Five,” a talk show with five rotating hosts that regularly airs at 4 p.m. CST, will move into the 8 p.m. time slot. Eric Bolling will host a new show that airs at 4 p.m. starting next month, the company said.

O’Reilly, 67, had ruled the “no spin zone” on television with a quick smile and an even quicker temper. He pushed a populist, conservative-leaning point of view born from growing up on Long Island, and was quick to shout down those who disagreed with him. Fans loved his willingness to talk back to power or point out hypocrisy among liberal politicians or media members.

O’Reilly and President Donald Trump are both “crowd-pleasing showmen who know how to signal to loyalists in their audience that they are not taking themselves quite as seriously as their detractors are,” said news consultant Andrew Tyndall. “Half of the fun that they have with their audiences comes from watching the outrage that they manage to provoke.”

“What Rush Limbaugh was to talk radio, Bill O’Reilly has been to conservative television,” said Mark Feldstein, communication professor at the University of Maryland. “You can’t underestimate the influence and the profits that he brought into Fox News for all these years and that’s why they hesitated so long in doing the right thing.”

His show generated $178 million in advertising revenue in 2015, according to Kantar Media.

Before the advertising boycott, there was the prospect of even more: his audience was larger in the first three months of 2017 than it has ever been. With a profit center gone, 21st Century Fox stock fell almost 1 percent Wednesday in heavy trading.

O’Reilly’s pugnacious personality wasn’t just an onscreen affectation, with one of the settlements going to a woman who complained about being shouted at in the newsroom. O’Reilly was alleged to have slowed the careers of women who spurned his advances. One former Fox personality, Juliet Huddy, said she pulled away and fell to the ground when he tried to kiss her, and he didn’t help her up, the Times reported.

One harassment case, from a former producer who said O’Reilly called her and described sexual fantasies and appeared to be masturbating, dated back more than a decade and was widely reported then. While O’Reilly survived then, the accumulation of cases outlined in the Times damaged him much more extensively.

‘IT’S JUST A TRAGEDY’ Reports: Days before LITH murder-suicide a mix of normalcy, distress

By HANNAH PROKOP

hprokop@shawmedia.com LAKE IN THE HILLS – Although Lake in the Hills police said they are will not speculate on any motive for why Carla M. Lopez-Mejia strangled her two children and hanged herself, police reports shed more light on the murder-suicide.

“The ultimate issue here is it’s just a tragedy for all those involved, family and community alike,” Lake in the Hills police officer Amanda Schmitt said Wednesday.

On Jan. 10, Lake in the Hills police and Huntley Fire Protection District personnel were called to a home in the 2300 block of Daybreak Drive.

Lopez-Mejia, 27, was found hanged on the first floor, and her two children – 11-year-old Ezequiel Garcia and 8-yearold Ariana Garcia – were found upstairs, strangled, according to reports from police and the McHenry County Coroner’s Office.

“I can’t stop the pain. I can’t leave my kids behind to suffer,” read a letter that police said Lopez-Mejia left in a spiral notebook on a kitchen table at the crime scene.

Police reports, which were received by the Northwest Herald through a Freedom of Information Act request with some information redacted, show that the days leading up to the murder-suicide were mixed with normalcy and signs that revealed Lopez-Mejia had contemplated suicide.

The day before Ezequiel and Ariana died, Lopez-Mejia took them to Kids First Pediatric Dentistry in Elgin, according to police reports. The dentist told police the kids “seemed happy” and Lopez-Mejia “seemed fine.” That same day, Lopez-Mejia went to the home of a man she had met on a dating website and begged him for his gun, according to police reports. The man told police that Lopez-Mejia had tried to manipu-

The man told police this could have been prevented, and he should have been more sensitive.

“There is no information to suggest [Lopez-Mejia] was pregnant at the time of the murder-suicide, and there is no information to suggest there was any recent pregnancy,” Schmitt said to the Northwest Herald on Wednesday.

A search of Lopez-Mejia’s web browsers revealed that at the start of January, she had visited websites including Match.com and Militarycupid.com, searched for information on how to get a free credit score, and

searched for photos of ultrasounds, abortion pills and clonazepam liquid.

She also had viewed an article called “7 Easiest Painless Ways of Killing Yourselves Quickest,” with “hanging” listed as the second option.

McHenry County Board approves plan to cut tax levy by 10 percent

By KEVIN P. CRAVER

kcraver@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – The McHenry County Board has approved a pledge to taxpayers to cut its tax levy starting next year by at least 10 percent.

In a 23-1 vote Tuesday, board members set a goal of cutting at least $7.9 million in taxation, based on its $79.3 million tax levy for this year. It also creates an ad hoc Committee on Tax Reduction, comprised of just less than half of the entire board, to develop ways to meet the goal by the end of June.

The language was developed by board member Andrew Gasser, R-Fox River Grove, and Democratic board Chairman Jack Franks, who ran last year on a platform of slashing the levy by at least 10 percent. However, the resolution was softened by the Finance and Audit Committee to make the cut a goal rather than an absolute.

“We must lead on this, and we must reduce our property taxes,” said Franks, D-Marengo. “This is the biggest issue facing the taxpayers of McHenry County. We cannot fail, and we will not fail. Working together, we are going to get this done.”

The only opposing vote came from

board member Donna Kurtz, R-Crystal Lake, who said that setting the goal without first researching the effects would be detrimental to the county’s most vulnerable residents. She said she did just that in her unsuccessful run earlier this month for the Community High School District 155 Board, in which she and a slate ran on a platform on cutting taxes.

“Is ‘Cut 10’ the right way to go? Well, it may be, but until we have done our homework, we really are not in the position, I believe, to make that decision,” Kurtz said.

But other board members solidly backed the plan to make some kind of attempt to alleviate a property tax burden that one often-cited study puts at the 29th highest by county nationwide.

“If we don’t set goals, if we don’t set objectives, there’s no way we’re going to cut our taxes. Our people are hurting, our residents are hurting, and people are losing their homes [to property taxes],” said board member Chuck Wheeler, R-McHenry.

Member Yvonne Barnes, R-Cary, said she is confident that the board can cut the levy by 10 percent and not eliminate services. She called talk of service cuts a “scare tactic” and “alarmist” at

this point, given that the debate is not about the budget but the tax levy.

“As I tell my children, we have to turn our heat down a few degrees, but we’re not turning off the heat. We turn off the lights when we’re not using them. We’re not losing the service, but we are saving money,” Barnes said.

The board over the past five years has not taken the inflationary levy increase it is entitled to under the tax cap in recognition of the plight of county property owners.

The County Board only can cut its own levy, not those of other local units of government to which residents pay taxes. County government accounts for just less than 10 percent of residential property tax bills in McHenry County – about two-thirds of the average bill goes to public schools.

Gasser said the county, by leading by example, can convince other local governments to follow suit. Although some have either frozen their levies or lowered them, others make sure each year that they capture the inflationary levy increase they are allowed each year under the tax cap.

“We have the biggest bully pulpit, and it’s about time we start using it,” Gasser said.

Attorney’s Office strives to ensure that the citizens of McHenry County find their local officials to be trustworthy and receptive to the needs of the community.”

Man guilty of cruelty in starved horse case

By JORDYN REILAND

jreiland@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – A McHenry County jury on Wednesday found a McHenry man guilty of letting one horse die and four nearly starve to death in 2014 at a Marengo farm.

It took jurors one hour to find Charles E. Parnell guilty on 12 of the 15 counts against him. He was convicted on all five of the animal cruelty charges and seven counts of failing to provide adequate food, water and veterinary care. Jurors acquitted Parnell on three charges of failing to provide adequate vet care.

Authorities said Parnell, 64, starved five horses while they were in his care at a friend’s Marengo farm. Members of the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office, McHenry County Animal Control and the Hooved Animal Humane Society arrived at the Marengo farm Dec. 21, 2014, after they were called and found four emaciated horses and one dead horse.

They were so malnourished that attorneys said one horse who died was merely “skin and bones.”

During the three-day trial, prosecutors showed images of the horses that were taken around the time of the December 2014 police investigation. Each animal displayed protruding rib and

hip bones.

“Horses die every day, and when you treat them the way [Parnell] did, it’s no wonder one of them died,” Assistant State’s Attorney Taylor Nesbit said, referencing a statement Parnell made to detectives.

Prosecutors said that at the time, Parnell had the horses on his property until he got sick and needed someone else to help take care of them. He brought five horses to a farm in Peoria and kept them there until the owner told him one of them had died.

When Parnell got there and saw the poor Charles E. condition of his other Parnell horses, he picked them up and took them to a farm in Marengo belonging to his friend, Nancy Wolfe.

Wolfe took the stand Wednesday and said Parnell arrived with his horses in December 2014 and only had them there for no longer than two weeks before authorities came to investigate in December 2014.

When the horses got to her farm, she said they looked like “walking skeletons,” and she and Parnell tried to rehabilitate them. Wolfe said that because Parnell was sick, she agreed to feed his horses when he wasn’t able to.

Parnell had been diagnosed with

prostate cancer, pneumonia and a high fever, and he was receiving treatment at a hospital in Iowa City, Iowa.

Wolfe’s testimony this week contradicted what McHenry County Sheriff’s Detective Ed Maldonado said she told him during an interview in January 2015.

Maldonado said Wolfe and Parnell agreed in October 2014 that Parnell would rent space for his horses for $200 a month and he would be responsible for feeding them, cleaning the stables and any other medical care they might need.

Maldonado said Wolfe also told him that for the two months his horses were there, she seldom saw Parnell, and no one was feeding them.

Wolfe on Wednesday denied ever talking to Maldonado, and she said she never mentioned anything about any monetary agreement.

In his closing statements, Parnell’s attorney, Jed Stone, said a man who made a living off of two of his horses would not knowingly starve them. He said Parnell bred two of his horses and had several participate in rodeo competitions.

“This was a sick cowboy who would have loved to have done more but couldn’t,” Stone said. “Are we going to label someone as a criminal because they were sick?”

Parnell, who testified on his behalf, said that trusting the farm in Peoria to take care of his horses was the biggest mistake of his life. He said he brought a large quantity of hay and food to the Peoria and Marengo farm and tried to make sure his horses were getting the care they needed.

He also said he would give his horses medical treatment when needed, citing his past experience caring for hundreds of horses during his career.

Prosecutors asked Parnell whether he took his horses to a veterinarian, and he said he often didn’t need to because he could take care of them himself.

“You can’t save every horse,” Parnell said.

Nesbit argued that Parnell knowingly starved his horses and took them to the Marengo farm to leave them there.

She said there was no other reason as to why the horses were so underweight other than the fact that they were not being fed.

Parnell will remain out on bond ahead of his next court appearance before Judge Robert Wilbrandt Jr. for post-trial motions and sentencing May 17. He faces jail time or probation on the misdemeanor charges.

Crystal Lake South, Cary-Grove high schools hire principals for next year

By KEVIN P. CRAVER

kcraver@shawmedia.com CARY– Two Community High School District 155 schools will have new principals next school year.

The board Tuesday voted to promote Neil Lesinski to principal of Cary-Grove High School, and Josh Nobilo to principal of Crystal Lake South High School. Both received one-year, $137,700 contracts that are effective July 1.

Lesinski replaces Principal Jay Sergeant, Neil Lesinski who after a decade on the job is returning to the classroom to teach.

Lesinski has served as the district’s director of curriculum and assessment.

“I look forward to building relationships and becoming a part of the Cary-Grove family, and working to carry on the incredible tradition of providing an excellent educational experience for students while supporting them in every way we can to be successful in life,” Lesinski said in a statement.

Nobilo, who has served as Crystal Lake South’s student services coordinator for the past six years, will succeed Principal Scott Shepard, who was promoted to district assisJosh Nobilo tant superintendent of educational services.

He, too, said he is looking forward to working with students and staff.

“I am part of a great team at Crystal Lake South High School, and I en-

joy being part of the Gator community. I am honored to serve as South’s next principal,” Nobilo said.

District 155 Superintendent Johnnie Thomas said Nobilo and Lesinski beat out more than 50 applicants for the positions.

The district is planning to schedule a meet-and-greet event for parents and students at both schools.

The district held a special meeting last month for parents, staff and community members who were upset about Sargeant’s decision to step down.

Students from the south side of Crystal Lake and part of Lake in the Hills who graduate from Crystal Lake Elementary School District 47 go to high school at Crystal Lake South.

Students from Fox River Grove School District 3 and Cary School District 26 attend Cary-Grove.

WOODSTOCK – A London man who led police on a chase through several local towns in a stolen truck said he didn’t stop because he thought he was being filmed for a movie.

Police said Rahman Sidhekur, 28, of London, England, was involved in a hit-and-run crash in Fox Lake while driving a stolen 1996 GMC 2500.

Woodstock police officers started following Sidhekur at Route 47 and Ware Road when they determined he was driving a stolen motor vehicle, Woodstock Police Chief John Lieb said. Officers followed Sidhekur through Woodstock into Crystal Lake until they arrived at Route 176 and Route 31, he said.

Crystal Lake police officers eventually arrested him when they found him at Pauly Toyota in Crystal Lake.

Sidhekur was looking for keys inside cars at the dealership when he was

asked to leave by employees several times, according to court documents.

While being taken into custody Sidhekur told the Crystal Lake poRahman lice officer that he could Sidhekur not stop for police because he thought he was being filmed for a movie, Lieb said.

Sidhekur is facing charges of aggravated fleeing, criminal trespass to a vehicle, possession of a stolen motor vehicle, disorderly conduct, reckless driving, speeding 21 to 25 mph above the speed limit, disregarding a traffic control light, improper use of a designated lane and improper traffic lane usage. The most serious charge, a Class 2 felony, is typically punishable by three to seven years in prison.

He is in McHenry County Jail custody in lieu of posting 10 percent of his $80,000 bond. He next will appear in court April 27.

Council approves loan for salon expansion Business looks for $60,000 to annex adjacent building

By BRITTANY KEEPERMAN

bkeeperman@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – A hair salon on the Woodstock Square will undergo a makeover with the assistance of a city loan.

Darrin Flynn and Alberto Perez want to expand D&A Salon and Apothecary to add retail space, and they are looking to borrow $60,000 through the city’s revolving loan fund program to partially fund the expansion.

The project would add about 10 jobs and is projected to cost $157,594, according to city documents.

Woodstock’s Revolving Loan Fund is an economic incentive program that allows the city to offer low-interest loans to businesses that want to expand in or relocate to Woodstock.

D&A Salon on the Woodstock Square is seeking a $60,000 loan from the city to build a 1,300-square-foot retail space.

The salon opened last May at its location at 108 Benton St. Flynn and Perez plan to annex the 1,300-squarefoot former Diva’s Attic space adjacent to their property in order to cre-

ate a retail space where the business will sell unique skin, hair and body products.

“We specialize in carrying products that aren’t carried by anyone in

a 20 to 25 mile radius,” Flynn said.

“We will bring in more lines that are exclusive to us. For some, we will be the only point of sale in Illinois, which is what our customers have been asking for.”

The salon focuses on supplying customers with all natural products that are free of ingredients such as silicone and unnatural chemicals.

The duo want to turn around the project quickly and are planning a grand opening June 24. Flynn said that the community has been welcoming to the store, and he feels the expansion would draw even more customers. Clients come from as far as Chicago for an appointment, he said.

“We’re busy,” he said. “Our retail sales have surpassed our projections.

We were very conservative for our first year, and our retails are so beyond what we expected them to be.

There is this hunger in the area. We are excited because we are bringing people in from outside of the immediate community. … They are making days of it. We love that.”

and anxiety medications but had not been taking them recently.

One man, who told police he was married but separated from Lopez-Mejia, said that Lopez-Mejia did not have many friends and would shut herself off sometimes.

A cousin showed police Lopez-Mejia’s Facebook page, on which she recently had shared posts that read messages including: “Angels belong in heaven,” and “Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.”

One woman said Lopez-Mejia had told her that she recently was prescribed a new antidepressant, but she had stopped taking medication about six months ago because she wanted to “start fresh” and “flush all toxins out of her body.”

Lopez-Mejia worked in customer service for Chase Bank. An employee told police that Lopez-Mejia left work Jan. 7 after she vomited at work because she had started a new medication.

Police redacted the names of most people they interviewed.

A Jan. 24 police report shows that, according to a report from the Department of Child and Family Services, there was an allegation of marijuana being present in Lopez-Mejia’s home.

DCFS said there was no indication of neglect of the children.

pam in their blood, according to the coroner’s office.

The drug was not what killed the children, McHenry County Coroner Anne Majewski said in the report, but it sedated them. She did not know how sedated the children were at the time they were strangled, according to the report.

In the letter, Lopez-Mejia wrote that she knew life was hard for many, and that she’s no special case.

“But I’ve never been loved. I have no real friends, no one by my side,” Lopez-Mejia wrote.

In the letter, Lopez-Mejia wrote that she was a single mother who cried every night for someone to complete her family and that she had tried her hardest for her kids by working 40 hours a week and going to school.

This country and world is “no longer humane,” Lopez-Mejia wrote.

“I want to never hurt again. I want my kids to not grow up feeling like this,” the letter read.

In a statement from Lake in the Hills police, Schmitt said that in the wake of this tragedy, she hopes the community will give the family the respect and time they need to heal.

“As a community, we appreciate all of those who came together to offer support, help and services,” Schmitt said in the statement. “It is the kindness and generosity of the Lake in the Hills community that makes our village and its citizens stand out in a time of need.”

Woodstock resident Jenn Feeley, who lives on the Square, said at a City Council meeting Tuesday that she thinks improvements to the Old Courthouse are important because the space adds value to the community.

Woodstock City Council approves water rate hike

By BRITTANY KEEPERMAN

bkeeperman@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – Residents can expect to see a rise in water and sewer rates beginning May 1 after Woodstock City Council members adopted a 2017-18 budget that includes a 3 percent increase.

Council members Tuesday voted to adopt the budget, with outgoing member R.B. Thompson the only member opposing the item. The revenue from the water and sewer increase will go toward the Water and Sewer Utility fund, which is needed to pay for capital projects to maintain water services, according to city documents.

The average Woodstock resident will see his or her bill go up from about $123 to $127, officials said.

Overall, the city’s budget is balanced with projected revenues of $32.6 million, an increase of 1 percent compared with last year.

Expenditures are projected to come in at $32 million, a decrease of 1.2 percent from last year, according to city documents.

The amount of money to be spent on the Old Courthouse was a heated topic of conversation among council and community members Tuesday. Thompson said he wanted to see more of a focus on developing the Square and spend less on fixing the courthouse.

“We should be, as a council, focusing on making our downtown even more attractive for potential businesses and for people,” he said. “Every year we put it off and put it off, but we continue to put a lot of money into an area that’s not increasing tax value.”

Woodstock resident Jenn Feeley, who lives on the Square, said that she thinks improvements to the Old Courthouse are important because the space adds value to the community – and would add even more value once recommendations from the Artspace study are underway.

“We can’t just have industry,” she said. “In order for people to move here, we have to have things for them to do and places for them to go, and the courthouse provides a perfect opportunity.

I support the money for the [tax increment district] going toward that.”

Elementary school to hold assembly, walk for diabetes research

By NATE LINHART

nlinhart@shawmedia.com McHENRY – Chauncey H. Duker School in McHenry is kicking off its diabetes-awareness campaign with an educational assembly Friday.

The assembly will include a discussion and video about what diabetes is and how people can help raise money for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, an organization focused on Type 1 diabetes research.

Friday’s assembly will start at 2 p.m. and will take place in the school’s gym.

Scheduled to attend the event are a JDRF representative and a Duker alumni who lives with Type 1 diabetes.

“The kickoff assembly will allow students to learn about the myths and the facts about Type 1 and also Type 2 diabetes, and hopefully share that information with others,” said Jennifer Paolini, the school nurse.

After the assembly, the school will host a JDRF Kids Walk from 1 to 2:30 p.m May 26 at McCracken Field, 3712 W. Kane Ave., McHenry.

This will be the school’s third JDRF walk, and the past two have raised more than $5,800 to help fund research for Type 1 diabetes, Paolini said.

“They have these walks nationwide throughout the year, but this is a way for our students to help raise funds and show their support for JDRF. I’ve had several students at Duker with Type 1 diabetes since I’ve been here, so I want our community

“They have these walks nationwide throughout the year, but this is a way for our students to help raise funds and show their support for JDRF. I’ve had several students at Duker with Type 1 diabetes since I’ve been here, so I want our community to be involved with how they can help find a cure.”

Jennifer Paolini

Chauncey H. Duker School nurse to be involved with how they can help find a cure,” Paolini said.

The walk will include music, activities and facts about diabetes while participants are walking down the track.

Students, parents, teachers and school staff members interested in joining the walk can visit JDRF’s website and search for the school.

Students also can start collecting donations for JDRF on Friday, Paolini said.

Donations are due by May 12.

For information about donating, the kickoff event or the walk, email Paolini at jpaolini@d15.org.

ROBERT ALLEN DOMPIER

Born: July 23, 1947 Died: April 8, 2017

Robert Allen Dompier, after a long battle with diabetes and other health problems, God decided to take him home.

The life he lived was like no other. His passion for music was unprecedented. He lived for his music till his last breath. Although he did have his shortcomings, he was a loved father, brother and a grandfather of four.

Robert is survived by his two sons, Steve and Chris; his sisters, Bonita, June and Dale; and his brother, Donald.

Robert’s death was preceded by his mother, Virginia; his father, Allen; and his sister, Cheryl.

Although we mourn his death, we now celebrate his life. He is with our Maker now, looking down upon us with love, looking forward to seeing us all again. He will be loved and missed by many.

Rest in Peace, Dad.

A lifelong resident of McHenry, Bob was born on November 1, 1930, the third son of three children of George P. and Mary A. (Meyer) Freund. After graduating with the Class of 1948 from McHenry High School, Bob served his country in Korea as a member of the U.S. Marine Corps from 1951 to 1953, attaining the rank

Bob worked with his father and brothers at the family business founded by his father, George P. Freund Inc., for 52 years of the company’s 61-year history. The longtime McHenry business sold agricultural, construction, and lawn and garden equipment.

Bob started as a mechanic, then became shop foreman, and eventually was in charge of lawn and garden sales.

For most of his lifetime, music was his passion.

Throughout the years, Bob shared his love of music and his musical talents with McHenry residents as a member or leader of various musical groups.

He began his interest in music in high school playing with the McHenry High School band, and continued with participation in drum and bugle corps, first with the McHenry Red Devils, sponsored by the VFW Post 4600, and later with the Men of Brass.

He formed his own groups with the Bob Freund 5-piece band and 10-piece orchestra, as well as the Fireball 8 Dixieland Band.

For many years, Bob’s bands were hired for weddings, anniversaries, banquets, and other social gatherings.

Bob also played in the McHenry City Band for 56 years, while also serving as band director for 13 years. In 2013, Bob was grateful to have the bandshell named in his honor.

He also volunteered his musical talents, serving as bugle instructor for the McHenry Viscounts Drum & Bugle Corps.

Many Memorial Day and Veterans Day celebrations featured Bob as bugler, and many veterans families were honored to have Bob play taps at their loved one’s funerals.

STATE

Group: Gov. deceived voters on abortion stance

By SARA BURNETT

The Associated Press

CHICAGO – Campaigning as a prochoice Republican in 2014, Bruce Rauner said he would sign legislation to ensure abortion remains legal in Illinois and to expand abortion coverage for state workers and Medicaid recipients.

But last week Rauner said he would veto a measure pending in the Legislature that supporters say would do both, citing “sharp divisions of opinion of taxpayer funding of abortion.”

An abortion-rights group on Wednesday accused Rauner of misleading voters to get elected and called on him to uphold his campaign commitment. Personal PAC also released a copy of the candidate questionnaire Rauner completed and noted his wife, Diana Rauner, was among more than 100 people who signed a full-page ad in the Chicago Tribune in October 2014 that described Rauner as pro-choice.

“They actively went out and deceived the voters of Illinois,” Personal PAC President Terry Cosgrove said.

Rauner’s office deferred comment to the governor’s political team, but noted that under existing law Illinois has more expansive Medicaid coverage for abortion than almost every other state.

“You guys are getting all spun up unnecessarily,” Rauner’s political

Prosecutors defend use of Schock staffer as informant

CHICAGO – Federal prosecutors deny investigators overstepped legal lines by recruiting a confidential informant from former U.S. Rep. Aaron Schock’s staff to help build a corruption case against him, accusing the Republican of seeking “to manufacture claims of governmental misconduct” to escape prosecution.

In the same government court filing, prosecutors also raised the prospect that the former Illinois congressman sought to tamper with a witness and urged the person to change grand jury testimony while the investigation was ongoing.

Schock, 35, resigned in March 2015 amid scrutiny over lavish spending, including to redecorate his Washington office in the style of the TV series “Downton Abbey.”

Gov. Bruce Rauner speaks Feb. 23 in Springfield. Personal PAC, an abortion-rights group, said Wednesday that Rauner broke a campaign promise when he pledged last week to veto legislation to expand coverage for abortion and ensure the procedure remains legal in Illinois. spokeswoman, Kirsten Kukowski, said in an email. “He supports current law that allows for [Medicaid coverage of] abortion in cases of rape, incest and for health and life of the mother. ... This legislation is beyond that which he doesn’t support.”

The issue is getting heightened at-

tention as several Democrats have announced they will try to unseat Rauner in 2018 and in the wake of President Donald Trump’s election.

At the center of the debate is legislation sponsored by Democratic state Rep. Sara Feigenholtz of Chicago, which has passed a House committee and awaits

His attorneys accused agents of violating Schock’s constitutional rights against unreasonable search and seizure by using the staffer-turned-informant, and infringed on other rights by pressing the informant to secretly record Schock and other co-workers.

In a sharply worded response filed just before midnight Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Springfield, prosecutors said investigators spelled out clearly to the informant what the person legally could and couldn’t do, including prohibiting the person from initiating discussions about legislative matters.

Rosenthal promised to dredge the lake near Rockford but offered no timetable and said his department has an $800 million backlog of deferred maintenance expenses. He said the source of the problem is the lack of a budget.

Rosenthal said the department has a dredging machine but it’s broken and there’s no money for the $450,000 in repair costs.

LOVES PARK – The continuing lack of a state budget in Illinois is affecting upkeep and repairs at Illinois state parks.

Illinois Department of Natural Resources Director Wayne Rosenthal visited Olson Lake in Rock Cut State Park on Tuesday.

The lake was closed last month because of reduced water quality.

Innocent but insane woman hospitalized for son’s death

ROCKFORD – A Rockford woman found not guilty by reason of insanity in the stabbing death of her 8-year-old son will be hospitalized for life.

Jody Kossow will be confined in the care of the Illinois Department of Human services for 100 years.

She was sentenced Tuesday by Winnebago County Circuit Judge John Lowry.

In rendering his verdict in January, Lowry cited psychiatric reports that found Kossow was criminally insane when she stabbed her son to death in September 2013.

Psychiatrists also said she thought

floor action.

The proposal would remove prohibitions on state employee health insurance and Medicaid funds from covering abortions. It would also safeguard abortion access in Illinois by striking language in current law that expresses the state’s intent to criminalize the procedure if the landmark 1973 U.S. Supreme Court ruling that legalized it is ever overturned.

Feigenholtz, Cosgrove and other supporters say it’s especially urgent the language be removed because Trump has said he will appoint Supreme Court justices who oppose the federal ruling.

They say that if that occurs, abortion would be illegal in Illinois.

Others, including the Rauner administration, said the procedure wouldn’t automatically become illegal and that there is nothing in state law that makes abortion criminal or authorizes a punishment for it.

In his 2014 candidate questionnaire, Rauner said his “highest priority” in regard to reproductive rights would be ensuring access regardless of income.

“I dislike the Illinois law that restricts abortion coverage under the state Medicaid plan and state employees’ health insurance because I believe it unfairly restricts access based on income,” he wrote. “I would support a legislative effort to reverse that law.”

witchcraft was involved in her son’s birth and he was a danger to the family. The boy was found stabbed multiple times in the driveway of their home.

State’s Attorney Joe Bruscato said that under Illinois law, a person found not guilty by reason of insanity must be sentenced to the maximum penalty they could have received had they been convicted of the offense.

Family donates $1M to hospital after son’s death

CHICAGO – A Chicago hospital has received a $1 million donation to start a substance abuse program for teens and young adults.

The Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital announced the donation from the Jordan Michael Filler Foundation on Tuesday.

The foundation was formed by Julie and Mark Filler, whose son, Jordan, died of a heroin overdose in 2014 at age 23. It supports programs that help teens and young adults struggling with substance abuse, particularly opioid addictions.

Pence warns N. Korea: ‘The sword stands ready’

By KEN THOMAS and ROBERT BURNS The Associated Press

YOKOSUKA, Japan – From the wind-swept deck of a massive aircraft carrier, Vice President Mike Pence on Wednesday warned North Korea not to test the resolve of the U.S. military, promising it would make an “overwhelming and effective” response to any use of conventional or nuclear weapons.

Pence, dressed in a green military jacket, said aboard the hulking USS Ronald Reagan that President Donald Trump’s administration would continue to “work diligently” with allies like Japan, China and other global powers to apply economic and diplomatic pressure on Pyongyang. But he told the sailors, “as all of you know, readiness is the key.”

“The United States of America will always seek peace but under President Trump, the shield stands guard and the sword stands ready,” Pence told 2,500 sailors wearing blue fatigues and Naval baseball caps on a sunny, windy morning aboard the carrier at the U.S. Yokosuka naval base in Tokyo Bay. “Those who would challenge our resolve or readiness should know, we will defeat any attack and meet any use of conventional or nuclear weapons with an overwhelming and effective American response,” Pence said.

The vice president said the U.S. would honor its alliance with Pacific Rim nations and protect freedom of navigation in the South China Sea, the sea lanes vital to global shipping where China has been staking claim to disputed territory.

From two continents, Pence and Defense Secretary Jim Mattis warned that North Korea’s latest failed missile launch was a reckless act of provocation and assured allies in Asia that the U.S. was ready to work to achieve a peaceful denuclearization of the Korean

U.S. Vice President Mike Pence speaks Wednesday to U.S. servicemen and Japanese Self-Defense Forces personnel on the flight deck of the U.S. Navy nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan at the U.S. Navy’s Yokosuka base in Yokosuka, south of Tokyo.

Peninsula.

Mattis denounced North Korea’s attempted missile launch as he began a Middle East tour, telling reporters traveling with him to Saudi Arabia, “the leader of North Korea again recklessly tried to provoke something by launching a missile,” he said. The term “reckless” is one the North Koreans have used to describe ongoing largescale U.S. and South Korean military exercises, which the North calls a dress rehearsal for an invasion.

Mattis did not identify the type of missile but said it was not of intercontinental range, meaning it could not reach U.S. territory. He did not comment on what might have caused the missile to fail.

Another official, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss an intelligence matter, said the missile was a Scud variant that the U.S. calls a KN17. Mattis credited China with trying to help get the North Korea situation “under control” with the goal of denuclearizing the peninsula.

Pence’s speech on the aircraft carrier followed meetings Tuesday in Tokyo with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, where he noted that “all options are on the table.”

Abe said that it was a “matter of paramount importance for us to seek diplomatic efforts as well peaceable settlements of the issue.”

“But at the same time,” the prime minister said, “dialogue for the sake of dialogue is valueless and it is necessary for us to exercise pressure North Korea so that it comes forward and engages in this serious dialogue.”

The Trump administration has signaled a forceful U.S. stance on North Korea’s recent actions, dispatching Pence to the Demilitarized Zone dividing North and South Korea on Monday in a show of American resolve. But it remains unclear what might come next.

Behind the heated rhetoric, Trump’s strategy in the region looks somewhat similar to predecessor Barack Obama’s – albeit with the added unpredictability of a new president who has shown he’s willing to use force. Pence said Trump was hopeful China would use its influence in the region to pressure the North to abandon its weapons program. But the vice president expressed impatience with the unwillingness of North Korea to move toward ridding itself of nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles.

Police: Fresno shooting victims killed at random

By SCOTT SMITH and SOPHIA BOLLAG The Associated Press

FRESNO, Calif. – One man had just started a new job with the gas company and was riding in a utility truck. Another was carrying a bag of groceries after stopping at a charity center. The third was at a bus stop with a friend, waiting for a ride home.

All three were randomly shot dead by a black gunman, Kori Ali Muhammad, who wanted to kill as many white people as possible and was proud of what he had done, laughing as he explained his actions in interviews with police, authorities said Wednesday.

“That’s what he set out to do that day. He said he did not like white men and said white people were responsible for keeping black people down,” Fresno Police Chief Jerry Dyer said.

The men were at the wrong place at the wrong time Tuesday.

Zackary Randalls was the first to die when Muhammad, 39, walked up to a Pacific Gas & Electric truck and fired into the passenger seat.

Randalls, 34, had just started work as a customer-service representative and was doing a ride-along, something he was excited about, friend Eddie Valencia said. He described the father of

“He wouldn’t want people to be divided by this,” Valencia said. “There were no boundaries with race, religions, beliefs, with anything. If you were a good person and basically could have a good conversation, he would call you a friend. He was a stand-up

guy.”

Muhammad also shot Mark Gassett, 37, of Fresno, who had just picked up groceries at a Catholic Charities building. The gunman pumped two more rounds into Gassett as he lay on the ground, police said.

Gassett’s ex-wife Lisa Gassett told The Fresno Bee that he had faced hard

times but had been working to improve his life. The couple has two children.

“He would give his shirt off his back for anybody,” she told the newspaper.

“That is the kind of guy he was.”

Next, Muhammad shot toward a bus stop where he had spotted three white men, police said. They scattered, and Muhammad picked the one who was older and appeared heavier: David Jackson, 58, of Fresno.

Jackson’s roommate said they were waiting for a bus home after going to the bank and then stopping to use the bathroom at Catholic Charities.

Mark Greer, 62, said Jackson tripped over a curb in the parking lot, falling down when he was shot. Greer was able to get away.

“I was too fast for him, but David couldn’t run that good,” he said.

Muhammad was arrested shortly after the rampage. He was expected to be charged with four counts of murder and arraigned Friday.

Police said the shooter was candid in explaining the crimes that began Thursday night, when he killed another white man, a motel security guard, and culminated Tuesday, when he fired 17 rounds in less than two minutes and killed the three men on the same block.

How your financial portfolio is affected during rising interest rates SPONSORED BY

By Denise Freese Many things can affect the performance of your financial portfolio over time; the economy, in particular, can have a big impact on your holdings even if you aren’t making many changes to them. It’s best to have a financial professional review your finances at least once a year, to make sure you’re on the right track and making adjustments that will encourage growth and stability when the economy is volatile.

Most investors hold a mix of stocks and bonds in their financial portfolio. Now that interest rates are trending upward, it will impact various facets of the economy; you’ll be able to earn more interest income on your savings accounts, but mortgages and other loans will cost more. Stock prices may decrease, as companies find it more expensive to secure debt to expand and grow their businesses. Inflation, which reduces the value of our currency, will be kept in check as interest rates rise.

If you’re interested in owning bonds, rising rates may create some money-making opportunities for you; bond issuers will pay more competitive interest rates so people will purchase their bonds.

While interest rate fluctuations are cyclical, the relationship between rates, inflation, and bond and stock prices are fairly complex, and can be affected by additional variables. Your bonds and other investments should be tailored to fit your individual financial goals, and should take your other investments into account so your portfolio is diversified to reduce your overall risk.

“During complex investment markets, it’s truly beneficial for most investors to consider professional money management,” said Mark Weber, Vice President of Home State Bank’s Trust and Wealth Management Group. “At Home State, it’s value added, since HSB is a fiduciary. That means we put our clients’ interests before any others’, including our own.

This is critical when considering investment choices.”

• Thursday, April 20, 2017

DUNWOODY, Ga. – A narrow miss by a Democratic newcomer in a conservative Georgia House district has triggered a high-stakes runoff that could test President Donald Trump’s influence and the limits of the backlash against him.

Democrat Jon Ossoff, a 30-year-old former congressional aide fueled by a colossal fundraising haul from outof-state donors, came within two percentage points of an outright victory Tuesday over 17 other candidates in Georgia’s traditionally Republican 6th Congressional District.

Republican Karen Handel, a former Georgia secretary of state, lagged in a distant second, qualifying her for the runoff. Well-known to voters, Handel had treated Trump gingerly in a district the president barely carried, but declared Wednesday she’d like to see him campaign for her ahead of the June 20 runoff.

“We want everybody who is supportive of Republicans, so absolutely,” Handel told The Associated Press after taking a congratulatory call from Trump on Wednesday. “We are going to be united from this point going forward.”

Trump, who attacked Ossoff in recent days as a liberal shill and mocked him for living outside of the district, crowed on Twitter about the outcome in Georgia following Democrats’ failure to win a different special election in Kansas last week.

“Dems failed in Kansas and are now failing in Georgia. Great job Karen Handel! It is now Hollywood vs. Georgia on June 20th,” Trump wrote, alluding to celebrity donors to Ossoff.

Still, the close finishes in Georgia

as well as conservative Kansas underscored Democrats’ potential to capitalize on surging liberal energy following Trump’s election, even as they also pointed to the limits of how far Democrats can go in Republican-friendly districts.

The Kansas and Georgia races also serve notice that GOP candidates might struggle to handle Trump, who alienates many independents and even some Republicans. In fact, Trump arguably gave Ossoff his opening in the first place; Trump barely won the Georgia 6th in November and failed to win a majority, four years after Republican Mitt Romney got more than 60 percent of the presidential vote.

Both major parties are approaching the runoff in Georgia as an important test ahead of the 2018 midterm elections.

Democrats have a long-shot chance of taking back control of the House next year and breaking the GOP’s monopoly control of Washington. But it will require picking up more than 20 seats and winning over droves of voters like those in the affluent, well-educated 6th District of Georgia.

Winning such a seat will depend on Ossoff keeping voters such as Shari Springle engaged in the race. The 54-year-old organized a Facebook group, “Liberal Moms of Roswell and Cobb,” in 2015. She said it proliferated since Trump’s victory, with several members acting as precinct captains for Ossoff.

Springle’s take Wednesday was simple: “Let’s get to work.”

But she’ll run up against Handel backers such as 82-year-old Bev Wingate. The Dunwoody retiree and Handel volunteer said Republicans were too cautious in the primary for fear they’d “step on toes.” Now, she said, she’s free to ask all her friends and neighbors to be “on our team.”

OUR VIEW

Tax dollars shouldn’t pay for abortions We don’t need to spend public funds paying for abortions in Illinois.

Legal abortion long has been the law of the land since the Supreme Court’s Roe v. Wade decision of 1973. It is likely to remain the law.

However, there is a substantial group of people who object to abortion on moral grounds. They sincerely believe abortion is equivalent to killing children.

They consider it odious.

Out of respect to those people, public funding of abortion procedures in Illinois has been limited to abortions that are deemed “medically necessary” to protect the health of the mother, and that funding is provided as a result of a court order.

According to the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, about 600 women die each year from pregnancy and childbirth-related reasons, a figure that would be higher were abortion not possible.

Saving a life is a good use for public funds. But we don’t need government to go beyond that.

A group of Democratic state representatives disagrees. They have proposed House Bill 4103, which would delete language that stipulates public health benefits programs, including for state employees, cannot be used for abortion or other pregnancy termination services.

Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner has said he would veto the bill and we agree with that stance.

A change in the rules could lead to the state paying to terminate many pregnancies.

Changes to state law prohibiting public funding for abortion took effect in 1980. In the yearlong period that ended June 30, 1978, public funds paid for more than 12,700 abortions in Illinois, at a cost of $1.8 million. Abortion opponents argue those numbers could be higher today.

Even if they were half that, it’s still more than 6,000 abortions the state could help finance.

Abortion is a thorny issue. Courts repeatedly have found it constitutionally protected for decades. Despite its legality, there is still a raging moral debate and wide range of public opinion on the issue ranging from those who support abortion under any condition to those who personally oppose it but support a woman’s right to choose to those who want the practice outlawed entirely.

There’s nothing legally preventing a state employee from having an abortion. No one is taking away their choice. But forcing residents who have strong moral opposition to pay for them is slippery slope.

AMENDMENT

ANOTHER VIEW

Turkey’s ugly election process

Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s ugly win in Sunday’s referendum on a new, authoritarian constitution for Turkey creates big problems for the country’s secular democratic forces and for Turkey’s Western allies – but also for Erdogan himself. His victory was not convincing, as he had hoped, but narrow, contested and tainted by the finding of a European observer mission that the pre-election campaign was not free or fair.

The country is not united behind him, but polarized – a political reality that even an empowered ruler will ignore at his peril.

To be sure, the Turkish president sounded defiant in the wake of his victory, dismissing Western critics for their “crusader mentality” and hinting that he would embrace harsh new measures, such as reinstituting the death penalty – something that would surely rupture Turkey’s relations with European Union leaders. As it is, Erdogan’s government has

purged about 130,000 people from their jobs and jailed more than 45,000 since a failed military coup last summer.

Turkey, however, has not yet reached the state of Egypt or Russia, where elections are grossly rigged and most opposition has been crushed. Even Kurdish towns that have been assaulted by the military in the name of defeating terrorists turned out to vote against Erdogan, as did the large secular populations of Istanbul, Ankara and Izmir.

Preliminary results showed 48.7 percent of the country voted against the constitution despite a one-sided campaign in which opposition voices were suppressed. A controversial decision by election authorities to accept ballots that lacked official stamps may have saved Erdogan from defeat, but at the price of further undermining his legitimacy.

Erdogan would be wise to try to defuse some of the opposition

by reaching out to opponents, as Western governments urged him to do.

Until 2015, he pursued a peace settlement with the militant Kurdistan Workers’ Party; some observers think he may return to it. But Erdogan’s history over 14 years in office has reflected an increasing hunger for power. If that trend continues, Turkey will face relentless domestic strife.

All of this poses a dilemma for the U.S. and other NATO nations, which badly need Turkey as an anchor of the alliance on the borders of the Middle East but cannot easily countenance its drift toward dictatorship.

In the near term, Western leaders cannot afford to break with Erdogan, but they must do their best to push him toward ending his domestic repression.

The millions of Turks who still seek to preserve democracy and civil liberties will need allies, too.

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.

IT’S YOUR WRITE

Post, AP too liberal

To the Editor: I have been a subscriber to the Northwest Herald for close to 15 years. Over that time, I have seen a number of changes to your publication, not all of which I liked, but always understood the need.

Lately, I have become fed up with the use of Washington Post editorials. It is one of the most biased papers in the country, written by and for the extreme liberal. While they find every reason to question President Trump, they seldom questioned Obama and his nefarious policies. No president should be spared the use of the free press to question motives, but the Post goes beyond the limits. Additionally, many of The Associated Press stories you carry, especially those authored by Julie Pace, are in fact mini-editorials, always leaning left. And of course, the vast majority of the political cartoons you publish also are ultra liberal.

As a result I will not be renewing my sub-

scription, there are some things I will miss, but not enough to stomach the continued use of liberal propaganda.

Where is the sportsmanship?

To the Editor: Sports can be very violent on one’s body, as I can attest to for playing football, basketball and baseball in my youth.

I now have spinal stenosis and have endured many surgeries and many doctor bills. However, I’ve watched (once) two men in a wire caged arena, beat each other to death, and they call this a sport?

The NFL, much to their credit, has developed the best head gear money can buy to protect the players from concussions, and any player who takes a “helmet to helmet” hit, is checked by a doctor to see if they display any signs of a concussion before

So far, that’s not happening.

In recent months, Facebook has gone out of its way to avoid acknowledging the obvious: It is a media company, not simply a platform its billion-plus users to share their lives with family and friends. (I called last year for the company to hire an executive editor, as one step, partly a symbolic one, in that direction; that was shortly after a Pulitzer Prize-winning photograph was deleted by Facebook, which saw its depiction of the famous Vietnamese napalm girl not as art but as child pornography.)

But there are, of course, business reasons not to accept that. As soon as Facebook acknowledges that it is a publisher and not a platform, it may open itself up to lawsuits that could cut into profits fast.

Better, the thinking apparently goes, to stress technological advances and the ability to connect the whole world with virtual reality, baby pictures and exploding watermelons.

And its Facebook Live has been a force for good, too. Last year, Diamond Reynolds live-streamed the police shooting in Minnesota of her boyfriend, Philando Castile. It was important piece of bearing witness, made poignant by the presence of Reynolds’ tiny daughter.

At this crucial moment, Facebook’s language often sounds clueless, with its combination of stilted corporate euphemism and childlike wonder about “community” and “sharing.”

After the Cleveland slaying, which remained on the site for hours, a Face-

book statement put it like this: “This is a horrific crime and we do not allow this kind of content on Facebook.”

Later, a Facebook vice president made a seemingly more thoughtful effort to describe the ways the company would use artificial intelligence and a better “reporting flow” to address the problem. But none of this was specific enough, or serious enough. Nor did Zuckerberg’s brief mention help.

As Clinch wrote on Twitter: “There’s no algorithm for this and there is no cheap way to do this with community monitoring and inexperienced staff.”

Facebook is immensely and increasingly profitable – it made more than $10 billion last year, up dramatically from 2015. More than four of every five dollars comes from mobile ads, which makes video more and more essential to corporate success.

But this can’t go on forever.

Bell summed it up: “If Facebook is really interested in the unbiased nature of discourse it would know that totally unmoderated systems favor the authoritarian bully, and suppress free speech rather than enable it. Ask Twitter.”

An innocent man and his killer – who committed suicide Tuesday – are dead. But that can’t be the end of the story.

Facebook’s existential crisis arrived with a vengeance this week. But Mark Zuckerberg didn’t want to talk about it much.

Yes, as he took the stage Tuesday in San Jose, California, for his keynote address at a Facebook conference, he nodded to what had happened just two days before: A coldblooded killing posted for millions to see, with livestreamed commentary from the killer soon after.

“Our hearts go out to the family and friends of the victim in Cleveland,” Zuckerberg said. “We’ll do all we can to prevent tragedies like this from happening.”

But then Facebook’s founder and chairman dived right into an extended discussion of the next Facebook frontier – augmented reality, which integrates digital information with the user’s experience in real time.

His mention of the killing, while seemingly sincere, still felt like a kissoff.

But it’s not surprising. Denial is, far too often, the Facebook way.

Remember just after the presidential election when Zuckerberg shrugged off the importance of the hyperpartisan lies in the form of news stories – like Pope Francis supposedly endorsing Donald Trump?

“Personally, I think the idea that fake news on Facebook, which is a very small amount of the content, influenced the election in any way – I

think is a pretty crazy idea.”

In time, he changed his mind about that, and Facebook, to its credit, has made some significant moves to flag, limit and remove financial incentives for lies and misinformation that spread like a disastrous oil spill during the campaign.

But Facebook still hasn’t come to terms with what it really is – a media company where people get their news and which, especially because of the year-old Facebook Live, generates news content. Since it began, rape, a horrible attack on a disabled person, and more than one suicide have been live-streamed.

“The crux of this is what is Facebook’s true nature: a technology that enables anyone to publish anything?

Or a self-regulating media company with enforced standards?” Emily Bell, director of the Tow Center for digital journalism at Columbia University, told me Monday evening.

Facebook’s answer became clear Tuesday morning.

With its nearly 2 billion monthly active users and more than $10 billion in annual profits, Facebook is better at making money and capturing eyeballs than at owning its equally huge power and responsibilities.

David Clinch, global news editor of the verification site Storyful, put it this way: “They have to take this issue very seriously and deal with it urgently, or they will surely face more calls for Facebook Live to be put on hold until far more robust controls are put in place.”

How credit score is calculated is changing

By KEN SWEET

The Associated Press NEW YORK – The math behind your credit score is getting an overhaul, with changes big enough that they might alter the behavior of both cautious spenders as well as riskier borrowers.

Most notably for those with high scores: Abiding by the golden rule of “don’t close your credit card accounts” may now hurt your standing. On the other side, those with low scores may benefit from the removal of civil judgments, medical debts and tax liens as factors.

Beyond determining whether someone gets approved for a credit card, a credit score can affect what interest rate and what spending limit are offered.

The new method is being implemented later this year by VantageScore, a company created by the credit bureaus Experian, TransUnion and Equifax. It’s not as well-known as Fair Isaac Corp., whose FICO score is used for the vast majority of mortgages. But VantageScore handled 8 billion account applications last year, so if you applied for a credit card, that score was likely used to approve or deny you.

Using what’s known as trended data is the biggest change. The phrase means credit scores will take into account the trajectory of a borrower’s debts on a month-to-month basis. So a person who is paying down debt now is likely to be scored better than a person who is making minimum monthly pay-

“This is a really big deal,” said John Ulzheimer, an expert in credit reports and credit scoring. Ulzheimer said taking trended data into account has long been considered by the credit score industry but hasn’t been implemented on a meaningful scale. He expects more lenders to adopt it.

People with high credit scores may be affected the most, since the goal of trended data is to see warning signs long before a borrower actually gets into serious trouble.

“When it comes to prime borrowers, you may not have bad behavior on your credit file, but a trajectory provides very powerful information,” said Sarah Davies, senior vice president for research, analytics and product development at VantageScore.

The change also shakes up the maxim that had people keeping open accounts they’d opened long ago. An important metric in calculating credit scores has been the portion of their available credit people actually are using.

A person with $5,000 in credit card

debt with a $50,000 limit across several cards could score better than someone with $2,000 in debt on a $10,000 limit because of that ratio.

But VantageScore will now mark a borrower negatively for having excessively large credit card limits, on the theory that the person could run up a high credit card debt quickly. Those who have prime credit scores may be hurt the most, since they are most likely to have multiple cards open. But those who like to play the credit card rewards program points game could be affected as well.

Taking civil judgments, medical debts and tax liens out of the equation comes after a 2015 agreement between the three credit bureaus and 31 state attorneys general. The argument was that civil judgments and tax liens – which can significantly hurt a person’s credit score – were often full of errors. Medical debt was being reported on a person’s credit report before there was time for insurance to reimburse.

People with those items on their credit reports now could see a bump of as much as 20 points. But it won’t help much if they also have negative marks like delinquencies and debts that have gone to collection.

Mortgages, however, won’t be affected. The government-owned mortgage companies Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac require a FICO score for eligibility. Because of their outsized influence on the market, few mortgage lenders use VantageScore.

WORTH TALKIN’ ABOUT THURSDAY, APRIL 20, 2017

LOS ANGELES – Julia Roberts is more than just a “Pretty Woman.” People magazine has named her the “World’s Most Beautiful Woman” for a record fifth time.

The magazine announced Roberts’ selection on Wednesday. The 49-year-old actress has previously claimed the cover spot in 2010, 2005, 2000 and 1991.

Roberts, who won an Academy Award for “Erin Brockovich,” said she is “very flattered” by the experience.

People’s 28th annual “World’s Most Beautiful” double-issue will be on newsstands Friday.

Seth Rogen ‘proud to be a Pike’ after joining fraternity

AP file photo

U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass. is seen Feb. 8, 2017, on Capitol Hill in Washington. The Massachusetts Democrat launched her book tour Tuesday night at the Barnes & Noble in Manhattan’s Union Square.”

U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren launches book tour NEW YORK – She wasn’t in her home state, but U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren couldn’t have asked for a friendlier audience to launch her book tour.

The Massachusetts Democrat entered and left to warm ovations Tuesday night at the Barnes & Noble in Manhattan’s Union Square, where she spoke about “This Fight is Our Fight: The Battle to Save America’s Middle Class.”

More than 200 people gathered as Warren, one of the country’s leading progressives, read a few pages and responded to written questions, most of them focused on issues such as health care, the environment and the role of unions.

The appearance felt as much like a political rally as an author reading, with Warren pacing about the stage instead of standing behind the lectern. Many cheered as she called for ongoing resistance to President Donald Trump and condemned Republicans for caring only about the wealthy. When Warren asked how many had attended one of the women’s marches held the day after Trump’s inauguration, dozens raised their hands. Warren also jokingly referred to her “nerdiness” whenever she cited statistics, and noted that when she offered “facts,” she didn’t mean “alternative facts.”

“I never thought I’d have to start using a modifier for ‘facts,’” she said.

“This Fight is Our Fight” is Warren’s 11th book and ranked No. 42 on Amazon.com as of late Tuesday. The book, like her talk at Barnes & Noble, didn’t place any blame for the Democrats’ loss in 2016 and instead emphasized the struggles of the middle class.

BURLINGTON, Vt. – Seth Rogen has gone from battling a fraternity to joining one.

The actor, who played a new dad doing battle with a rowdy fraternity in “Neighbors,” has officially joined the Pi Kappa Alpha chapter at the University of Vermont.

Rogen paid a visit to the fraternity Monday after the brothers raised $32,000 for his Hilarity for Charity, which helps fund Alzheimer’s research.

After going bowling with the fraternity, he was inducted as an honorary member in what the school calls a “top-secret ceremony.” Rogen posted on Twitter that he’s “proud to be a Pike.” Video shows him sharing drinks with fraternity members.

Intruder inside Drake’s home raided rapper’s fridge LOS ANGELES – Authorities said an intruder was arrested at Drake’s Southern California house, but the woman apparently did nothing but drink the rapper’s water and soda pop.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department said deputies from its Malibu/Lost Hills Station arrested 24-year-old Mesha Collins on Monday inside the home of Drake, whose real name is Aubrey Graham.

Deputies called to the house found Collins inside a locked room surrounded by opened water and soda bottles from the house. There was no evidence she took anything else or did any damage.

She was arrested for entering a resi-

dence with intent to steal the victim’s property. She is being held on $100,000 bail and had a court date Wednesday.

Deputies didn’t know if she has an attorney who can comment.

Apatow has new book of comedian interviews

NEW YORK – Judd Apatow likes nothing more than topping his own joke.

The filmmaker is putting together a sequel to his best-selling “Sick in the Head,” which featured conversations with Mel Brooks, Jerry Seinfeld and other comedians. The new book could only be called “Sicker in the Head.” It includes Norman Lear, Kevin Hart and Whitney Cummings.

Random House, which announced the book Wednesday, said no release date has been set.

Apatow is known for comedies such as “Knocked Up” and “This Is 40.” He is donating author proceeds from his new book to charity.

Former Hillary Clinton aide writing memoir

NEW YORK – A former Hillary Clinton aide and speechwriter is writing a book about Clinton and her inner circle of advisers.

Penguin Press announced Wednesday that it had acquired Lissa Muscatine’s “Hillaryland,” which will chronicle her 25 years with Clinton. Penguin is calling “Hillaryland” a close look into “the tight-knit group of women” working with Clinton during her time as first lady, senator, secretary of state and presidential candidate.

30 Types of headaches and what causes them Dear Doctors: I’ve always had headaches, from the time I was a teenager. But now I get them more often – about one headache a week. Is this a warning sign of something?

Dear Reader: Headache is among the most common – and ancient – of physical complaints. You would be hard-pressed to find someone who hasn’t suffered from a headache at some point.

Mentions of headache in written texts date back to 1200 B.C., and treatments over the centuries have included leeches; garlic; oil in the ear; tying a dead mole to one’s head (no, we’re not making this up); magnets; electricity; psychotherapy; and that universal refuge, the soothing bath.

Most headaches are periodic bouts of pain centered in the head and/or neck. It’s not the brain tissue itself that’s sending pain signals – it’s the surrounding tissues, blood vessels and nerves that serve the area. Many headaches respond to medication and lifestyle changes. Some, however, such as migraines, may persist despite treatment. Some headaches can be warning signs of larger problems such as blood clot, stroke or tumor. Thankfully, those are rare.

Although there are many different types of headache, most fall into four categories: • Tension headaches are the most common, marked by dull pressure, like a band tightening around your forehead.

• Sinus headaches, which cause a deep, throbbing pain, occur when the cavities around the cheeks, nose and forehead become inflamed.

• Cluster headaches, marked by severe pain in and around one eye, get their name because they often occur in clusters, but they are less common.

• Migraines, which can last for hours or even days, cause debilitating pain, often on one side of the head. They can be accompanied by flashes of light, photosensitivity, a blind spot in the field of vision, tingling

SUDOKU

ASK THE DOCTORS Elizabeth Ko and Eve Glazier sensations on the skin and nausea.

Headaches also can be the result of eye strain, allergy, hunger or fasting, fever, fatigue, dental problems, lack of fluids and hangover, to name just a few. The truth is, the subject of headache is vast and extremely complex. And despite many strides forward (remember that dead-mole-on-the-head cure?), science still has more questions than answers.

What signals that a headache may be something to worry about?

• A major change to the pattern of your headaches, such as going from a few a month to one a day.

• The sudden onset of persistent headaches, particularly after age 50.

• A headache that is the most severe you have ever had.

• The onset of a headache after a traumatic event to the head.

• Any headache that alters cognitive function, is accompanied by fever and a stiff neck, or includes symptoms such as slurred speech, blurred vision, weakness, numbness or seizures.

These can be signs of underlying conditions such as head injury, infection, tumor, high blood pressure, fluid buildup in the skull, decrease in blood flow or bleeding in the brain.

This all sounds alarming, so let us assure you again that these conditions are rare.

However, if any of the above happen to you, please be safe and seek immediate care.

Dear Abby: My

DEAR ABBY ex-husband had an affair with Jeanne a woman who Phillips was one of my dearest friends.

My heart is broken; my marriage is over. I have lost my home and my friend. It has been a struggle for me to recover.

My daughter, with whom I am very close, continues to have a relationship with this woman. While I know it’s not my place to tell her who to be friends with (she’s 22), I can’t help but feel betrayed.

My daughter is pregnant, and this woman seems to be attempting to play mother and push her way into every detail of my daughter’s pregnancy. It’s extremely upsetting to me to have to share one more thing with her.

She already took my home and husband; I would like to keep my daughter and grand-baby. What to do? – The Real Grandma-To-Be Dear Real Grandma: Although you cannot cut this woman completely out of your life because she is now with your ex, calmly discuss this with your daughter. She may have reasons you are unaware of for wanting to include the woman to the extent she has.

Dear Abby: We need help with our dad. Many of his grandchildren participate in sports. For some reason, he thinks it’s perfectly fine to sit in the stands surrounded by people he doesn’t know and loudly criticize the other players.

We talk to him before the games. We remind him he’s sitting by these players’ parents and what he’s doing is not cool. Some of the parents become quite emotional if things don’t go well, and Dad doesn’t need to be doing this. Yet he continues. Have you any ideas on getting Grandpa to keep his opinions to himself? We don’t want to ban him from games and treat him like a 5-year-old who can’t behave, since he still is able to travel to see us for these visits. We try to sit away from others, but it’s not always possible. – Embarrassed In Houston Dear Embarrassed: You already know the answer to your problem, and I do not understand why you haven’t taken action. Was your father always this way, or has he become demented? When an adult acts like a 5-year-old and behaves inappropriately after having been cautioned against it, there is cause for concern.

If he is unable to control his behavior at those games, instead of being allowed to ruin them for everyone within earshot, he should absolutely be banned from attending. If you won’t do it for the sake of the players and other parents, then do it for your father’s safety, because one of these days, an irate parent or relative may punch his lights out.

Dear Abby: My niece was married by a justice of the peace in October. She and her husband are having a church wedding this summer. What would be the proper date to recognize on a gift? – Donna In North Carolina Dear Donna: If you are having the wedding gift engraved, you should ask your niece which date she and her husband would prefer.

CARPENTERSVILLE – DundeeCrown third baseman Deanna Origer hit a single up the middle to load the bases for the Chargers in the seventh inning, trailing Prairie Ridge 4-1.

For the second time in the game, Prairie Ridge pitcher Hailey Baker escaped a bases-loaded jam. D-C catcher Claire Weeks grounded out to end the game and give the Wolves a Fox Valley Conference victory Wednesday.

Baker allowed only four hits in a complete game.

“That might be her best outing of the year,” Wolves coach Mike Buck said.

“Mixing pitches and speed, keeping them off-balance. She pitched solid.”

Baker struck out seven Chargers and walked one. She threw 92 pitches, 64 for strikes.

Baker mixed in the riseball more than she had all year.

“I hardly ever throw it,” Baker said.

“I’m going to stick with it because it looked great tonight. This game was my biggest mix of pitches. What got me down early in the season was that I stuck to the things I thought were great.”

OUTSIDE THE BOX SCORE q UNSUNG HERO

Maggie Schremp Prairie Ridge, so., C

Schremp produced some of the best at-bats of the day for Prairie Ridge, finishing with two singles and an RBI.

q THE NUMBER

26

In three at-bats, Schremp saw a total of 26 pitches. In her second plate appearance, she fouled off six pitches with two strikes. She hit an RBI single on the 11th pitch of the at-bat.

q AND ANOTHER THING ...

Prairie Ridge committed three errors in the game but did not allow any of those free base runners to score.

The Wolves (9-1, 4-1 FVC) scored three runs in the fourth off D-C starting pitcher Sydney Ruggles. Emmie Farnam scored on Jillian Minutillo’s ground out to the second baseman. Shannon Donaldson doubled during the next at-bat, driving in another run.

Baker, hitting in the No. 2 hole, drove in Donaldson with a single to make it 3-0.

The Chargers (7-5, 2-3) answered with one run in the bottom of the inning.

Origer scored on a bases-loaded single from Cady English. With the bases still loaded, Baker struck out D-C center fielder Cassidy Randl to end the threat.

Prairie Ridge added one more run in the fifth on a single from catcher Maggie Schremp. The sophomore was making her second start at catcher this season.

Usually a first baseman, she has transitioned to catcher for the first time since she was 7 years old.

“She’s incredible,” Baker said. “It’s amazing how well she’s adjusted back there.”

Schremp said the coaches have been slowly working her into catcher in practice. She earned her first start last weekend.

“They’ve definitely given me a lot of practice back there to make me feel comfortable,” Schremp said. “I love framing Hailey’s pitches; she always hits her corners so well. She really takes charge out there, and that’s all I can ask for in a pitcher.”

The duo worked well Wednesday.

For the Chargers, Origer went 2 for 4 with a run scored. English collected D-C’s only RBI.

BOYS AND GIRLS TRACK AND FIELD: McHENRY COUNTY MEET PREVIEW

Having 2 accomplished sprinters makes Warriors threat to take title

By JOE STEVENSON

joestevenson@shawmedia.com

Kyle Owens

McHenry girls track and field coach That freshman, Holly Vogt, has been as good as advertised. Vogt, along with Kruse, makes McHenry a threat to take the girls team title at the McHenry County Track and Field Meet, which runs Thursday and Friday at Huntley’s Red Raider Stadium.

The field events start at 4 p.m. Thursday and will finish that day. Running preliminary heats in the 100 and 200 meters, and in the high hurdles, also will take place Thursday. Running events will start at 4:30 p.m. Friday.

The host Red Raiders are the defending champions for boys and girls. The Raiders’ boys team has won five consecutive county meet titles; the girls won their first title last year.

Vogt and Kruse were instrumental in McHenry nipping Huntley by 11/2 points

at the Crystal Lake Central Invitational last week. Vogt won the 200, while Kruse was second. Vogt was third in the 100, with Kruse taking fourth. Vogt won the long jump, and they both ran on the Warriors’ winning 4x100 relay team.

“The competition’s a lot tougher this year,” Vogt said. “I always have to do my best at every meet because the competition’s so much harder. I really hope we can win at county. Hopefully, our relays will do very well.”

Vogt is seeded first in the 200, second in the 100 and second in the long jump.

Kruse is seeded first in the 100 and second in the 200. McHenry is the top seed in the 4x100 relay. Two sprinters of that quality go a long way toward affecting big meets.

“If you have one sprinter, that’s great,” Warriors coach Kyle Owens said. “To score two in those events is huge. If you have two fast girls, you’re going to have a great relay. Holly is one of the best freshmen to come through here in a long time. She’s doing big things as far as our top-10 records have gone. Janessa kind of had a breakthrough season last year. She’s made another jump from where she was last

year to this year.”

Kruse will run at NCAA Division III Wisconsin-Whitewater next year. She is thrilled to have Vogt on the team, even if it means that sometimes she is not winning.

“I’m so proud of the work she put in so far this year,” Kruse said. “She’s very humble. If you try to help her with something, she’s always open to hearing it. You can see that she is trying to change the little things. She’s an amazing runner.”

Mark Vogt, Holly’s father, played football, baseball and ran some track when he was younger. Her mother, Mary Ann, earned a gymnastics scholarship to Oklahoma and teaches that sport at Crystal Lake Gymnastics Training Center.

Holly did gymnastics for a couple of years in preschool, then played softball, soccer, basketball and volleyball.

She still plays travel softball with the McHenry Warriors’ program but chose track for the spring.

“It was a pretty tough decision,” said Vogt, who will join her softball team after finishing the track season. “But I think I made the right choice.”

After winning Monday’s series opener, 22-0, Johnsburg (6-9, 4-1 KRC) jumped out to a quick start again. The Skyhawks sent seven to the plate in the first inning and scored twice.

Unlike Monday’s game, Harvard had an answer. The Hornets’ Ryan Stephens and Austin Gratz scored to tie the score, 2-2, after one inning. Harvard left the bases loaded in the first, which would become an early theme for the home team.

“We left too many on base, and that really cost us,” Harvard coach Donnie Nolen said. “They hit some gappers and took advantage of some mistakes we made. I was happy with the effort we gave today, and we played much better than we did on Monday. Having a practice yesterday really helped, and I feel like we came ready to play. We just came up short.”

Johnsburg took the lead for good in the third inning. Adam Jayko had an RBI double, and Noah Alanis drove

home Jayko with a single. The big hit of the inning was by Blake Lemcke, who entered the game after starter Brody Frazier left in the second inning with an injury. Lemcke took a fastball to center field to drive in two runs.

“Blake Lemcke was huge for us off the bench today,” Johnsburg coach Sam Lesniak said. “He hit the ball hard each time he was up when it was tough coming in cold off the bench.”

Lemcke finished with four RBIs, while Krennrich and Jayko led Johnsburg with three hits each. Aidan Stark picked up the victory for the Skyhawks in relief. Stark allowed two runs in his three innings and finished with four strikeouts.

Harvard (4-9, 0-8) was led by Stephens, who scored twice and added a single. Josh Whaples had two walks and a single.

Thursday’s series finale, which originally was scheduled to be played in Harvard, will be played at Tiger Field at 4:30 p.m.

McHenry sprinter Janessa Kruse heard the scouting report last year about an eighth-grader who was erasing Molly Machometa’s records at Parkland School.

Kruse was well aware of how fast Machometa was. Kruse knew it meant she had Janessa Kruse to work hard to not be left in a freshman’s dust for her senior season. She attended a Nike running camp, along with college running camps, so she could get better.

“I was blown away Holly Vogt because those were times I was trying to beat (in middle school),” Kruse said.

“I’ve grown up super-competitive in sports, and that was like a news flash, that I can’t be the fastest on my team all the time. It was a great motivation for me.”

“If you have one sprinter, that’s great. To score two in those events is huge.”

Inside Baseball ATHLETE OF THE WEEK MIKE ADDANTE Jacobs, sr., CF Addante was 5 for 14 in his past three games with four extra-base hits, three of which were home runs, as the Golden Eagles beat Hampshire twice and Crystal Lake Central once.

Addante’s game Saturday was one for the ages. In his first two trips to the plate against Hampshire, he hit the first pitch out of the park. His second home run was a grand slam. Later, he added a bases-loaded triple and finished with eight RBIs in the Eagles’ 19-6 victory.

Addante also was 2 for 4 with a homer in a 5-0 win over Crystal Lake Central on Wednesday. In between, Addante struggled with three strikeouts in a 5-4, nine-inning win against Hampshire, but he bounced back in a big way two days later.

Addante, a speedy left-handed hitter, signed with Nebraska in November.

Pennington has said all along that he wanted to play college football and wants to do so at the highest possible level. Pennington, the Northwest Herald Male Athlete of the Year in 2016, likely will be a preferred walk-on at some school.

Illinois State or Arkansas, which recently entered the picture, are at the top of his list.

The Cubs’ Addison Russell celebrates as he runs down the third base line after hitting a game-winning three-run home run off Milwaukee Brewers relief pitcher Neftali Feliz in the ninth inning Wednesday at Wrigley Field. The Cubs won, 7-4.

But the equilibrium seems to have returned as they get set to embark on a three-city trip that begins Friday at Cincinnati.

“It is the resiliency, it is the fact that we do not quit,” manager Joe Maddon said. “It’s on the ring. We do not quit. It’s on the ring, man. And that’s a perfect example today.

“I don’t think that we’ve really been feeling badly. It’s just that Pittsburgh came from behind twice and beat us.

All of a sudden, we returned the favor against Milwaukee. Again, it’s the latter part of the game. We did a better job of taking care of the latter part of the game today. We have to do that more consistently. You’re seeing signs, really good signs, with the bullpen guys.”

The bullpen pitched four scoreless innings in relief of starter Kyle Hendricks, who gave up four hits and four runs in his five innings.

Even though the optics hadn’t been

NEW YORK – Now that’s what a rebuilding loss is supposed to look like.

A Rule 5 rookie pitcher with six starts in Double-A last season under his belt taking lumps and learning on the job at Yankee Stadium.

A 9-1 loss to the Yankees.

A designated hitter (Cody Asche) with an .069 batting average.

That sounds like more of what could have been expected from the White Sox when they embarked on remodeling their organization this past offseason.

But with 14 games scratched off the schedule and a 5-4 three-city road trip off the books, the Sox returned home Wednesday night having played better than most expected.

traded away and Carlos Rodon injured, the Sox are out of the gate with a 7-7 record after Wednesday’s blowout defeat.

What does it mean?

“It’s a short snippet,” cautioned manager Rick Renteria, who saw rookie Dylan Covey give up three homers and eight runs in five innings in what was the Bronx Bombers’ ninth win in 10 games. For the Sox, it marked their first series loss of what looked like a testy trip that started in Cleveland and Minnesota.

“It’s a long season,” Renteria said.

“But hopefully they just continue to push. There are highs and lows, and hopefully they stay even keel.”

Renteria pushed hard from the first day of spring training to demand a clean brand of ball and let the chips fall where they may.

“We’ve had a couple of blips,” he said.

“But overall it has been a very positive

road trip.

“Everybody came into the season not thinking about the restructure or the changes that are going on. Everybody prepared to play the game. I don’t think even at this moment that anyone is thinking about what might happen or what might not happen.”

The trades and rumors of trades that are part of the everyday existence in rebuilding haven’t affected the Sox, at least not yet, Renteria said.

“I don’t think so,’’ he said. “You can’t control those things.”

The Sox went into Wednesday’s game leading the major leagues with a 2.55 ERA. The bullpen, at 1.30, also led the league, and when Tommy Kahnle struck out Chase Headley, Matt Holliday and Jacoby Ellsbury with upper-90s heat in the seventh, the pen had 52 strikeouts over 432/3 innings of work.

CHICAGO – If Cubs players were wearing their World Series rings to Wednesday night’s Bricks and Ivy charity ball, they might have shown fans the inscription.

On each player’s ring, it reads: “We never quit.”

That was the rallying cry last year, and it rang out in the clubhouse after Game 7 of the 2016 World Series.

Apparently, it’s still a thing this year.

Addison Russell hit a walk-off threerun homer in the bottom of the ninth inning off Neftali Feliz to cap a four-run rally and lift the Cubs to a 7-4 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers at Wrigley Field.

“Absolutely, we feel very strongly about that,” Russell said of the slogan. “It seems that whenever you kind of count us out, we seem to have a spark. That’s all it takes, just one hit, one walk and we get rolling.”

The Cubs were on the brink of falling below .500 again at 7-8, as they trailed, 4-1, in this game. But the victory moved them to 8-7 and had them feeling good again after scoring back-to-back come-from-behind victories over the Brewers to take two of three in the series.

Over the previous weekend, the Pirates swept the Cubs in three, and it seemed a little queasiness had crept in during an emotional homestand, during which the Cubs raised their championship banner and received those rings.

Fishing great way to clear mind, make friends One of the reasons I enjoy fishing so much is that it is the only activity I can think of in which my mind totally blanks out while I am doing it. I love that feeling.

When I fish, nothing else enters my cranial cavity. I am totally lost in a world of fishing. I am not thinking about what chores I have to do when I get home. I am not thinking about the next column I have to write. I am not thinking about getting the oil changed on my car. I am not thinking about family matters. I am thinking about fishing, and that is all.

I’ll take a look at my watch and wonder where all of the time has gone.

It passes so quickly when I have my rod and reel in hand. Hours zoom by, and I cannot account for the passage of time. I’ve accomplished nothing other than catching a few fish, but I know the time spent has done a marvelous thing for my mental health, I am sure.

Another thing that thrills me about fishing is that it takes me back to a better time. It’s hard to explain.

Lately, I’ve noticed kids fishing at local residential development ponds. I see them in pairs or in small groups at the fishing holes, casting for bluegills, catfish and bass or whatever else swims there.

Seeing kids doing this makes me smile. For too long, as of late, I believe that parents would never let their kids do something like this. Whether they worry the kids could fall in and drown or because of the threat of a “Mr. Stranger Danger” happening along, parents just don’t let their children fish alone.

Well, the kids I see fishing seem to be doing just fine. They are happy and having fun. Parents think that kids just want to be frozen in front of the screens on electronic devices all day long. That is not true. If asked, kids will tell you that they like to fish.

They like to kayak and canoe. They like to shoot arrows with a bow. They like to scavenge in the woods. Their lives are not all about laptops and cellphones and video games if they are allowed other options.

I was at a local pond tossing a white chatterbait in search of some spring largemouth bass the other day.

I saw two young boys fishing with a much older man. It looked to me like a grandfather and his two grandsons. I was 50 yards away from them.

One of the boys walked over to me and began to ask questions. He wanted to know whether I was fly fishing.

He asked what I was doing. He asked what my lure was supposed to look like to a fish. He asked what kinds of fish ate certain kinds of baits. He had a list of really good questions.

The boy left and his brother walked

OUTDOORS Steve Sarley over. He regaled me with stories of his fishing career. “I’ve been fishing a really long time,” he boasted. I asked, and he responded that he’d been a fisherman for five of his eight years on earth. The conversation went on and on, and I was really enjoying it.

The boy asked me to come and meet his grandpa. I walked over and shook the man’s hand. He was Russian and had very little knowledge of the English language. We then proceeded to have a long conversation that was brokered between him and me with the help of the two boys, who acted as interpreters.

They were all proud to tell me the tale of the 30-inch carp they had landed the previous year from the spot we were standing. I said goodbye to my new friends, wished them luck and headed home.

This episode explains something else about the beauty of fishing to me.

The boys were allowed to talk to me, a stranger, with no fear. Fishermen are good people. Don’t we all know that?

Fishermen are friendly and willing to share their experiences and conversation. In what other activity does this happen?

Lastly, we were all able to spend time talking to each other, even though I didn’t speak Russian and the grandfather spoke very little English.

Fishing is a universal language that crosses all boundaries. If that isn’t a beautiful thing, then I don’t know what is.

••• In last week’s column, Dan Stephenson, the chief of fisheries for the Illinois Department of Natural Resources was quoted as writing, “Illinois fishing licenses are still a good deal. Also, folks over 65 years of age receive a $2 license and over 75 a $1 license. We still get the $11 for each of those sold from the feds as well.”

Dan was mistaken, of course, and thanks to the many, many readers who were quick to point it out. The senior fishing license has a price tag of $5.50 and the super-senior license runs $1.50. This is still a great deal.

More importantly to me is the $11 that the state receives from the feds for every senior or super-senior license sold. I would recommend for everyone to sign up their grandparents for a fishing license. For your small investment, the state gets back 11 bucks for which it’s in great need.

Illinois: The IDNR offers fishing reports on a number of waterways across the state. The fishing reports for lakes, rivers and streams are updated weekly. ifishillinois.org/ fishing_reports/fishing_report_selector.php.

Dave’s Bait, Tackle and Taxidermy in Crystal Lake reports: “The rain has slowed down for now. The dams at McHenry, Algonquin and Carpentersville are starting to clear up, and fishing is improving every day.

White bass, crappie and smallmouth (catch-and-release until June 15) are hitting minnows, spinners and pinkie jigs.

McHenry County Conservation area, the Hollows, has Lake Atwood, and the trout are slowing, but the bluegill and largemouth bass are kicking in. No minnows are allowed to be used at this site.

Crystal Lake has Threes Oaks Recreation Area, and boats can be rented on weekends, but shore fishing also is good here. No minnows are allowed here, and catch-and-release is the rule. There should be excellent largemouth bass fishing in the next few weeks. Senkos, Defender jigs and Rapala Husky Jerks work well here.”

Of course, some days are much better than others and the fish tend to cooperate more under certain conditions. We are still getting good numbers of panfish and the bigger fish have moved in to start their spawn. Plastics continue to be the best bet. A few walleyes and big white bass are showing up and these species are becoming more active. It’s a good time to be out there fishing.”

County Conservation District will celebrate Earth Day on Saturday at the Prairieview Education Center, 2112 Behan Road in Crystal Lake, among other sites, from 11 a.m. until 4 p.m. The event will be indoors and outdoors and will happen rain or shine. There will be guided nature hikes, live music, games, crafts and more than 20 environmental exhibitors. Food and beverage vendors will be present, or bring your own “no waste” picnic lunch.

Morel mushroom report: Our buddy Mike Miller from Lake in the Hills sends word, “I just did a quick lap on that hillside I took you and your wife to and didn’t see any morels at all. It still looks to be a bit early, but with conditions being the way they are right now, the morels will be popping up any day now. Some early spots may have some showing already, but that is an exception. You really need to start getting out there every day and checking your spots.”

Local recognition: Ducks Unlimited Inc. is the world’s largest nonprofit organization dedicated to conserving North America’s continually disappearing waterfowl habitats.

Established in 1937, Ducks Unlimited has conserved more than 13.8 million acres, thanks to contributions from more than a million supporters across the continent.

DU’s President’s Roll of Honor is one of the most highly coveted recognition awards Ducks Unlimited offers its local chapters. Each year, the list is comprised of the chapters in the U.S. that raised between $65,000 and $100,000 through fundraising activities in their communities. Through the efforts of these volunteer committees, DU is able to pursue its mission of conserving, enhancing and restoring North America’s wetlands.

In 2016, four chapters in Illinois made the President’s Roll of Honor, including the Chain O’ Lakes chapter based in Fox Lake.

Visit ducks.org to see the full President’s Roll of Honor for this year.

Hernandez hangs himself

Blackhawks center Jonathan Toews gets up after colliding with Predators defenseman P.K. Subban (right) during the third period Monday in Nashville, Tenn.

BLACKHAWKS

Toews: No more time for waiting Predators on verge of series sweep

By MARK LAZERUS

mlazerus@suntimes.com NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Ryan Johansen has been everything you’d want in a top-line center during the first-round series between the Blackhawks and Nashville Predators. He has a goal and four assists in three games, and his line has completely dominated play while leading the Predators to a stunning 3-0 series lead.

That he’s doing it against one of the game’s great No. 1 centers, Jonathan Toews, makes it even sweeter. The mere fact that he’s even going up against Toews in a playoff series is something Johansen has been relishing.

“Yeah, it’s awesome,” he said. “Obviously, you want to be measured by how you play against opponents like we’re playing now. For me, it’s a fun opportunity to play against a guy like Toews, and all the other stars on their team that have had so much success over the last seven seasons and won a few Cups. To be able to be happy with your game against those guys is a pretty satisfying feeling.”

Toews, meanwhile, hasn’t been satisfied in some time. The last time he scored a postseason goal, Patrick Sharp had the primary assist, way back in Game 5 of the 2015 Stanley Cup Final. That’s 12 straight playoff games without a goal for the Hawks captain as he prepares to lead his team into Thursday night’s do-or-die Game 4 at Bridgestone Arena.

“That’s something I’m obviously well aware of, and no better moment than a game like [Thursday],” Toews said after

Wednesday’s practice. “I’ve waited long enough. You’ve got to go out there feeling lucky, like you’re going to work for that bounce. I’m just trying to stay patient and smart and do the right things.

Obviously, no more waiting. [Game 4] is a big game, and a great time to come through and make a big play.”

Somebody has to. The Hawks have scored a measly two goals in 10 periods against the Predators in this series, and while much of the discussion has been on the Predators’ trapping defense, and the outstanding play of the Johansen line, and the adjustment process for the handful of young Hawks getting their first taste of postseason hockey, it still falls on the Hawks’ biggest stars to lead the way.

And that starts at the top, with the man in the middle.

Toews always has been a streaky scorer, but his occasional offensive lulls almost always are offset by his defensive prowess and all the other little things he does so well. That hasn’t been the case in this series. But if he can get the offense going, it not only could get the Hawks on the board but help keep Filip Forsberg, Johansen and Viktor Arvidsson off it.

“We need more out of everybody, whether it’s his line or [Artem Anisimov’s] line,” Hawks coach Joel Quenneville said. “We look across the board.

We always find that when we’re in some tough spots, our top guys always find a way to lead the charge, and find a way to overcome all obstacles. And we’re going to need them. But we’re going to need everybody else, too.”

BOSTON – Hours before his former New England Patriots teammates were due to visit the White House to celebrate their Super Bowl victory, prison officials said, Aaron Hernandez tied one end of his bedsheet to a window and the other around his neck and hanged himself.

In a maximum-security prison outside Boston, about an hour from the stadium where he played alongside stars such as Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski, Hernandez jammed the door to his one-man cell lest guards try to stop him and put an early end to the life-without-parole sentence he received for a 2013 murder.

He was 27.

It was the last act in the downfall of an athlete who once seemed to have everything, including a five-year $40 million contract extension, and threw it all away.

The former NFL star’s death left friends, family and his legal team shocked and in disbelief, searching for an explanation. On Friday, Hernandez was acquitted in a separate murder case.

Aaron Hernandez listens during his double murder trial March 15 in Boston. Massachusetts prison officials said Hernandez hanged himself in his cell and was pronounced dead Wednesday at a hospital.

“There were no conversations or correspondence from Aaron to his family or legal team that would have indicated anything like this was possible,” said his attorney, Jose Baez. “Aaron was looking forward to an opportunity for a second chance to prove his innocence. Those who love and care about him are heartbroken and determined to find the truth surrounding his untimely death.”

Guards found Hernandez shortly after 3 a.m. Wednesday at the state prison in Shirley, Correction Department spokesman Christopher Fallon said.

Earth Day in McHenry County means nature hikes, environmental booths, recycling and, if you’re hungry, a Toasty Cheese sandwich. All in the name of Mother Earth.

An April 22 Earth Day celebration hosted by The Environmental Defenders of McHenry County and the McHenry County Conservation District is expected to draw hundreds from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. to Prairieview Education Center, 2112 Behan Road in Crystal Lake.

With more than 20 booths on sustainable practices and a recycle drive, as well as games, crafts, puppet shows, live music and more, the celebration has attractions both for adults and children, said Deb Chapman, services manager for the McHenry County Conservation District.

Oh, and the Toasty Cheese mobile eatery, along with AJs Kettlecorn Company, always are hits, she said.

Not to get political, Chapman said, but Earth Day just might draw more interest this year.

“The concern for the environment is perhaps growing at the moment because we might have less protection in the coming year,” she said. “I think that has people paying more attention.”

Adults can learn ways to live a greener existence and help the environment, as well as find out about the efforts area groups, such as the McHenry County

Bicycle Advocates, are taking to improve the county. The Bicycle Advocates, for instance, are promoting a “Complete Streets Petition” to urge the county’s entities to accommodate all modes of transportation, especially bicycling, walking and public transportation.

Visitors also can hear about alternative energy sources and ways and places to enjoy the outdoors in McHenry County.

“I think we’re a tremendously strong county as far as having places to get out and explore,” Chapman said, noting both conservation and park district offerings.

“We’ve got great camping opportunities, lots of ways to learn about the environment, free programs,” she said, referring to numerous activities and events hosted by the conservation district, such as the free FOX (Families Outside Exploring) Club, which encourages families to explore conservation district sites.

The Earth Day celebration will take place rain or shine with activities both inside and out, if weather permits. Puppet shows are planned for 11:15 a.m. and 1:45 p.m., guided nature hikes for 12:15 p.m. and 3 p.m. and folk music performances

by Anna Stange for 11:30 a.m. and 2 p.m.

“We always get a little dance party going on,” Chapman said.

As part of the household recycle dropoff, visitors can bring unwanted items, including electronics (computers and accessories, TVs, stereos, etc.), small appliances (microwaves must be clean), clean polystyrene, packing peanuts, reusable

WHEN: 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. April 22 WHERE: Prairieview Education Center, 2112 Behan Road, Crystal Lake COST & INFO: Hosted by the McHenry County Conservation District and Environmental Defenders of McHenry County, featuring more than 20 environmental booths on sustainable practices, a variety of activities for all ages, recycling drop-off, food vendors, live music by Anna Stange (below) at 11:30 a.m. and 2 p.m., and more.

NORTHWEST HERALD UNION – Shortly after delivering an anti-war speech before a Socialist Party meeting in Canton, Ohio, Eugene V. Debs was arrested and charged with violating the Espionage Act. At 7 p.m. April 25 at the McHenry County Historical Society Museum, University of Tennessee history department chairman Ernest F. Freeberg will revisit that period by exploring the fight for civil liberties waged by those who worked to free American socialist/labor leader Debs from prison and the legacy of World War I. Doors to the museum, 6422 Main St., Union, open at 6:30 p.m. Admission is $10. The lecture is co-sponsored by the McHenry County Historical Society, Woodstock Celebrates and the Illinois Labor History Society.

“I teach a course about the impact of the war on free speech and democratic practices,” said Freeberg, a distinguised professor of humanities, distinguished lecturer for the Organization of American Historians and author of the 2008 book, “Democracy’s Prisoner: Eugene V. Debs, The Great War, and the Right to Dissent.”

Freeberg’s PowerPoint lecture, “Eugene V. Debs and the Fight for Free Speech in World War I,” is rooted in his book, a Los Angeles Times Book

Prize finalist. The national debate concerning the First Amendment and the government’s power to silence its critics remains ongoing.

“A lot of what my book is about is our own ideas of free speech during wartime,” Freeberg said. “Prior to World War I, it was never a federal issue. It was handled on the state and

local level. Protestors were treated as people who potentially disturbed the peace.”

But the “over-reach” that occurred during World War I changed all that.

Debs’ 10 year prison sentence – first at the West Virginia State Penitentiary in Moundsville, before being transferred to Atlanta – helped to expand the right to protest.

“Even if you hated the guy’s politics, he was recognized as a legitimate player in the conversation,” Freeburg said of Debs. “It helped spark creation of the American Civil Liberties Union and offered much more protections when it came to free speech. We have all kinds of problems, still we are able to protest today without fear of being arrested.”

Debs garnered about a million votes for president in 1920 without leaving his Atlanta jail cell. His slogan was “From Prison to the White House.”

Most cast their vote not in support of his politics, but of his right as an American to speak freely. In his 1927 book, “Walls and Bars,” the former McHenry County Jail prisoner wrote glowingly about his fellow inmates.

Freeberg, 58, of Knoxville, Tennessee, earned an English degree at Middlebury College and received his doctorate in history from Emory University. After working a short time as

a journalist for a public radio affiliate in Maine, Freeberg said, “I naively thought if I go to graduate school and study history I’ll know enough to make sense of all those conflicting ideas.”

Instead, it just raised other questions.

In 2013, Freeberg published “The Age of Edison,” which examines how electric light shaped the development of modern American culture. His first book, “The Education of Laura Bridgman,” explores the controversies raised by the education of the first deaf-blind person to learn language.

The book won the American Historical Association’s Dunning Prize. He now is writing a book on the origin of animal rights in post-Civil War America.

President Woodrow Wilson rejected pleas to pardon Debs after the war ended, but President Warren G. Harding pardoned him Dec. 25, 1925, on the condition he would get to meet Debs at the White House. Harding supposedly greeted him by saying, “I have heard so damned much about you.”

Debs, celebrated during his life for his charisma, generosity and candor, created a legacy that lives to this day as the public grapples with new threats of war, class warfare struggles and the role of prisons in our criminal justice system.

Night at the Museum to benefit St. Jude Hospital NORTHWEST HERALD VOLO – What could be better than mingling with princesses, superheroes and villains against a backdrop of gleaming Hollywood and muscle cars?

How about doing so during a private, after-hours event to benefit St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital?

Batman will be there. Captain America, too – maybe even a stormtrooper or two. In fact, about 30 costumed characters are expected to dazzle attendees at the third annual Night at the Museum from 7 to 9 p.m. April 29 at the Volo Auto Museum.

“It could be more, you never know,” said Brian Grams, director of the museum at 27582 Volo Village Road. “We’re excited that the Costumers With a Cause are partnering with us again to benefit St. Jude’s.”

In its first two years, Night at the Museum raised more than $5,500, said Chrystine Shelton, lead event organizer for the Midwest Division of Costumers With a Cause.

“One hundred percent of the money raised goes to St. Jude,”

Members of Costumers With a Cause will be out in force at the third annual Night at the Museum to benefit St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. The fundraising event is open to the public and takes place 7 to 9 p.m. April 29 at the Volo Auto Museum.

Shelton said. “Volo is donating their space. They don’t take anything off the top, and we don’t take anything

off the top.”

Costumers with a Cause is a volunteer organization with mem-

bers who create elaborate costumes they wear at children’s charity and other events fostering community growth and unity, according to the group’s Facebook page. Many members especially are excited about the Volo event, as they have a chance to portray characters associated with museum exhibits such as the Batmobile collection, the Star Wars landspeeder display and more, Shelton said.

“For the adults, it’s fun to see the cars,” she said. “But for the kids . . . they get so excited and happy because, to them, you are not just a person in a costume. You are Batman.

You are Captain America . . .

“Honestly, some of the adults get just as excited as the kids. Some of these costumes cost several thousand dollars to create.”

The minimum donation requested to attend Night at the Museum mirrors the museum ticket prices of $15 for adults and $9 for children ages 5 to 12. But more is welcome. The night also will include raffles. For those unable to attend, donations are accepted at http://tinyurl.com/lmvukd6.

Israeli storyteller to perform at Opera House

By JAMI KUNZER

jkunzer@shawmedia.com

As part of Jim May’s ongoing effort to make the Woodstock Square a storytelling destination, award-winning Israeli storyteller Noa Baum will bring her story of her unlikely friendship with a Palestinian woman to the Opera House.

Baum’s “A Land Twice Promised: An Israeli Woman’s Search for Peace” not only delves into the heart of one of the world’s most enduring and complex conflicts, it demonstrates a truth – listening to one another’s stories can be a bridge to peace.

“Most of us in storytelling have known for awhile, have always believed if you know someone’s story, it’s impossible to hate them or hurt them or go to war against them, if you really know their story,” said May, a nationally renowned storyteller who founded and directed an Illinois Storytelling Festival in Spring Grove for more than two decades before the festival ended in 2004.

An Emmy Award-winner, May has traveled the world telling stories and written several books, including the critically acclaimed “Farm on Nippersink Creek” and the most recent, “Trail Guide for a Crooked Heart.”

Having read Baum’s new book, which has the same title as the upcoming Opera House event, he knew she needed to come to the Opera House.

The program will take place at 2 and 8 p.m. April 30 at the Opera House, 121 Van Buren St., Woodstock. Tickets cost $26 for adults, $21 for students at the door, www.woodstockoperahouse. com or 815-338-5300.

“Storytelling really is a very powerful vehicle for peace, for dialogue, for building bridges, for building relationships, and that’s what we need today more than ever,” said Baum, who was born and raised in Jerusalem in the shadow of the ancestral traumas of the Holocaust and ongoing wars.

She now performs internationally.

“We are in a very divisive world,” she said. “The truth is we are as humans are much less divided than people who are hungry for power are making us believe, and I think storytelling is a vehicle that can reveal that.”

In her performance, Baum basically becomes four women – two Israelis and two Palestinians. She tells firsthand the experiences of befriending the Palestinian woman who had grown up under Israeli Occupation as the two shared memories of war years in Jerusalem. Beginning in the mid-20th century, the struggle between the Israelis and Palestinians is ongoing and has been described as the world’s “most intractable conflict.”

The four women Baum represents in her performance are herself, the friend – who wishes to remain anonymous – and both of their mothers.

“Generally speaking, it is the stories of our families . . . through these women,” Baum said.

Excerpts of her performances and information on her book can be found on her website at www.noabaum.com.

“A LAND TWICE PROMISED: AN ISRAELI WOMAN’S SEARCH FOR PEACE” WHEN: 2 and 8 p.m. April 30 WHERE: Woodstock Opera House, 121 W. Van Buren St., Woodstock COST & INFO: Presented by nationally renowned storyteller Jim May. Israeli storyteller Noa Baum grew up in Jerusalem in the shadow of the ancestral traumas of the Holocaust and ongoing wars. In America, she met a Palestinian woman who had grown up under Israeli Occupation, and as they shared memories of war years in Jerusalem, an unlikely friendship blossomed. Tickets: $26 adults, $21 students. Information: www.facebook. com/events/415134128836474 or www. woodstockoperahouse.com.

• STORYTELLING

Her latest book offers a look at her childhood, her move to America and how she became a storyteller, telling the story of that friendship intertwined with her relationship with her mother and how her career has transformed her life.

She’s received every response imaginable to her performances, from people storming out to others saying, “This is the story of my life,” to being told her story might not change a political opinion or vote, but it did give pause, something else to think about.

“For me, that’s what I want,” she said. “I’ve had people write to me and say, ‘I listen to the news differently now.’ I’ve had people come to me and say, ‘All my life I’ve only been surrounded by Palestinian points of view. . . this was the first time in my life I realized maybe Jews have another story.’ ” Baum, who described May as “one of the most admired storytell-

ers in the United States,” performed a couple of years ago at a Stage Left Café event in Woodstock.

Her recent book offers a sort of behind-the-scenes look at how she developed that show. Having seen May as an idol, Baum said she was eager to accept his invitation to return to Woodstock, this time to the Opera House.

May would like to see the Woodstock Square become a regional and national destination for storytelling, encouraging people from throughout the area and beyond to take advantage of the Metra train station one block from the Opera House. “Spend the day on the Square and stay for the storytelling or come for the matinee and stay for the Square,” said May, who’d like to see a storytelling festival return to McHenry County.

“Even though [Spring Grove] was a lovely spot, it didn’t nearly have the possibilities of Woodstock with that beautiful Opera House and businesses around the Square that can benefit,” he said.

Woodstock-rooted film on stage Musical ‘Groundhog Day’ takes place on one very long day (and it feels like it)

By PETER MARKS

The Washington Post NEW YORK – Irrespective of the verdict Punxsutawney Phil renders on winter in “Groundhog Day,” the new musical that officially opened last week in Broadway’s August Wilson Theatre, I was left in the cold.

The stage tricks employed to get us through the elaborate plot – about a smug TV weatherman who discovers his heart by reliving the same day over and over and over – consistently are amazing. And the evening’s star, Andy Karl, reprising the role Bill Murray played to roguish perfection in the 1993 movie directed by Harold Ramis and filmed in Woodstock, unassailably is polished and even downright intrepid: having torn the ACL in his left knee during a preview performance, he returned triumphantly to the role in a leg brace on opening night.

But this seriously overlong stage

version, which had a well-received birth in London before traveling to New York, is enveloped in a cloud of charmlessness that never fully lifts, and ultimately confers on the production a sense of frenzied mechanical blandness.

Add to this the undistinguished score by Tim Minchin – composer of the entirely more devilishly delightful “Matilda” – and you find yourself as relieved as Karl’s Phil Connors for the alarm clock in Phil’s Punxsutawney bed-andbreakfast room to go off for the very last time.

The magic in the movie sprang out of Murray’s poker-faced transformation from glib and nasty know-it-all, forced by his Pittsburgh TV station to cover the ritual of Punxsutawney Phil’s annual winter forecast, to philanthropic paragon of decency, by way of falling in love with his producer, Rita Hanson. If the intensity of Andie MacDowell’s magnetic film performance as Rita is not quite achieved

by Barrett Doss on stage, it still is an appealing portrayal.

And while Karl has the authoritative voice and countenance (and impressive reserves of stamina) to play Phil, he comes across as just a bit vanilla for the charismatic demands of such a heavyweight star turn. For this “Groundhog Day” essentially is a one-man show with 20 other actors in it.

Aside from Phil’s cameraman, Larry – played here by Vishal Vaidya in a role that’s inexplicably been neutered; the acerbic Chris Elliott portrayed him memorably in the film – the other characters are Punxsutawney townsfolk.

Director Matthew Warchus and book writer Danny Rubin (working from his own 1993 screenplay) take a patronizing paintbrush to them all. They’re portrayed as loud, giggling, incredulous hicks.

For an idea of how ordinary people might better be affectionately conjured, how corniness need not devolve into condescension, see

the Newfoundlanders in the newly minted musical hit “Come From Away.” Or even, for that matter, look in on another, more nuanced portrait of blue-collar Pennsylvania, provided by Lynn Nottage in her Pulitzer-winning Broadway play, “Sweat.”

The best parts of “Groundhog Day” are all in its feats of engineering. Rubin’s book manages to perform well the task of retaining clarity and averting chaos, in a story that easily could lapse into the latter. Rob Howell’s sets and the illusions devised by Paul Kieve contain consistently pleasing surprises.

Oddly, though, this is a musical in which the pop, country and jazz-inflected songs – some of them confoundingly off-point – feel superfluous. Which leads you to the wish that, of all the skills Phil acquires during the endless rerun of his 24 hours in Punxsutawney, one of them could have been that of play doctor.

MOVIES READ MORE MOVIE REVIEWS ON OUR WEBSITE

By LINDSEY BAHR The Associated Press

The Armenian Genocide is a curiously unexplored moment in our modern history, cinematically speaking. That fact alone makes director and co-writer Terry George’s “The Promise” intriguing enough. Historical fiction generally has it over documentaries in inspiring mass interest, especially when actors as appealing as Oscar Isaac, Christian Bale and Charlotte Le Bon are involved.

And indeed, “The Promise” is a sprawling and handsome epic set around the extermination of 1.5 million Armenians in Ottoman Turkey. But despite the best of intentions, the film fails to properly explain and contextualize both what led to that disgraceful episode, which Turkey to this day denies, and why it escalated as it did.

Instead, “The Promise” chooses to focus in on an unsympathetic love triangle that manages to trivialize the film overall.

The goal, as always, is to personalize the events that are too big and too devastating to look at as a whole. Thus we’re given the character Michael Boghosian (Isaac), an Armenian medical student from a small village in Southern Turkey who uses his fiancée’s dowry to study modern medicine in Constantinople. Michael isn’t in love with his fiancée (Angela Sarafyan), but such is life in Siroun where marriages are arranged. He heads off to the big city, promising to return in just a few years.

Constantinople is an oasis of temptation for Michael, who essentially falls for the first woman he sees. The beguiling Ana (Le

Bon) is a cosmopolitan beauty and intellectual. She’s an Armenian from around his hometown. Ana also happens to be in a long-term relationship with Chris Myers (Bale), an Associated Press reporter who we’re told drinks too much.

While Michael is enjoying the city life and lusting after Ana, though, things are devolving around him. It’s 1914 and Constantinople’s Armenian intellectuals start getting arrested and taken away. To where is unclear. The intention, likely, is to put the viewer on the blurry ground level with Michael and Ana, who see their world turned upside down.

“The Promise” infinitely is more interested in the triangle, dropping the three leads into convenient situations to heighten the will they/won’t they/can they/should they drama. It’s unfair to cri-

“FREE FIRE”

The Associated Press

The shootout, often a ballet, is a battle royale in Ben Wheatley’s “Free Fire.”

When the bullets start flying, Wheatley’s arms-deal-gone-wrong 1970s shoot-up comes to a crawl. There’s a total absence of slow-motion cartwheels. No one miraculously walks through a wall of fire to kill the bad guys. Not a single Scarlett Johansson roundhouse kick is in the house.

Instead, people get maimed, bloodied and dead. There’s no subsequent chase or flight from the police, just bickering and trench warfare . . . for the majority of the 90-minute film. The movie is 100 percent O.K. Corral. It’s a formally impressive feat – set nearly entirely in the same rundown warehouse – but a thin and tedious one.

The film, the British director’s sixth, spends its first third gathering an ensemble of retro-outfitted characters under the glistening wet of a dark Massachusetts night.

A handful of Irish Republican Army agents (Cillian Murphy, Michael Smiley) are meeting gun sellers (Sharlto Copley’s

South African; Babou Ceesay’s former Black Panther). The deal has been brokered by a pair of savvy Americans (Brie Larson’s Justine, Armie Hammer’s turtlenecked Ord) and then there are a couple locals, Stevo (Sam Riley) and Bernie (Enzo Cilenti) brought in to carry the crates of assault weapons. All of them self-consciously are playing a role as street toughs. Best is Copley’s arch Verne, a self-described “rare and mysterious jewel,” most concerned with the stitching of his new suit.

The channeled spirit here – irreverent and violent – is undoubtedly “Reservoir Dogs”-era Quentin Tarantino. But “Free

STARRING: Sharlto Copley, Brie Larson, Armie Hammer PLOT: Set in Boston in 1978, a meeting in a deserted warehouse between two gangs turns into a shootout and a game of survival.

RATED: R for strong violence, pervasive language, sexual references and drug use RUNNING TIME: 1 hour, 30 minutes Fire” reminded me more of a short by its executive producer, Martin Scorsese. His 1967 six-minute “The Big Shave” showed a man who keeps cutting himself shaving until his face is a bloody mess.

“Free Fire,” too, would seem to be a satirical metaphor on warfare. But Wheatley’s devotion is less to any such critique than to his movie’s hermetic form.

At one point, one character speaks of the “golden rule” that one has an hour and a half before a bullet wound becomes fatal.

Wheatley’s film, too, comes in exactly at that length. After 90 minutes of occasionally inspired dialogue and labored, if compelling, anarchy, it bleeds out.

Jane Goodall: Magic of nature revealed in ‘Born in China’

By BROOKE LEFFERTS The Associated Press

The magic of nature and its wildlife often takes great patience for the humans who want to revel in it.

Disneynature’s new film, “Born in China,” is a perfect example of that.

The documentary is a little over an hour but it was shot over three years.

Dame Jane Goodall, an ambassador for Disneynature, said the imagery was breathtaking and shows the personality of the multiple species captured.

“These photographers wait year in and year out and so they’re able to show the characters of these animals,” she said in a recent interview with The Associated Press. “And people say, ‘Oh, Disneynature gives animals a character.’ No, the animals have their own character.”

The film also shows another side of China. Viewers see a snow leopard hunt in terrain unfit for most mammals, a mother giant panda with her

cub and raucous golden monkeys jumping on high forest trees, sending the branches crashing to the ground as they chase and play. “(People) think of Beijing and Shanghai and glitz and all the rest of it,” Goodall said, “but China is huge and vast and some of these landscapes that are captured in this film are truly spectacular.”

The documentary, Disneynature’s seventh theatrical release, is out April 21, the day before Earth Day. John Krasinski narrates, but Goodall has done her part to promote the ambitious project, directed by Chinese filmmaker Lu Chuan.

A portion of tickets sales from the film’s opening weekend will benefit the World Wildlife Fund.

Goodall, 83, has studied chimpanzees for 55 years in Gombe Stream National Park, Tanzania.

She has worked for decades on conservation and animal welfare issues. China, she said, should be commended for its work protecting

pandas and snow leopards.

Of President Donald Trump’s administration, Goodall said: “I think any administration that is cutting back on protecting the natural world is very disturbing. The same thing’s happening in the U.K. and many other parts of Europe. And of course in Africa, it’s a little bit different, but there’s African presidents who welcome big corporations coming in from outside and they’re sort of selling their natural resources in return for roads or

hospitals, and all of this is pretty grim for the future.”

Yet, Goodall remains hopeful, especially when it comes to kids.

The Jane Goodall Institute’s Roots & Shoots Program, which encourages young people to become stewards in their communities, now operates in 98 countries, for instance.

“The passion and the energy of young people,” she said, “once they understand the problems, they’re empowered to take action.”

5 spring cleaning projects to take on immediately

(BPT) - Spring cleaning is a seasonal tradition. You’ve been setting house projects aside all winter, and now’s the perfect time to make sure the warm weather season starts with a cleaner, happier home. So open the windows, turn on your favorite song, and start your spring cleaning with these five to-dos. * Clear the clutter. Removing excess clutter is a great cleaning tip any time of year, but finishing this task when the weather was colder may not have been as tempting. Tackle your home room by room and analyze the items you find. If you haven’t used something in a year or more, it’s time for it to go. * Freshen up the floors. After a season of tracking dirt, snow and mud,

your floors could use some attention.

If the damage is minor, a thorough vacuuming will do the trick. If the wear and tear is more significant, you may need a more comprehensive solution. If you have carpet, renting a carpet cleaner allows you to tackle the job yourself, saving you money over hiring a professional or purchasing your own machine. And if you have hardwood or tile floors, rent a floor buffer. It’s the easiest way to give your floors back their shine in no time. * Pretty it up with paint. The windows are open and a gentle breeze is moving air through your home. This is the right time to cross that painting project off your to-do list. Small painting projects can be handled with a single can and a brush, but for your

larger painting endeavors, rent a paint sprayer. It’s the best way to get an even, professional coat in a short amount of time so you’re finished before the breeze dies down. * Better the baseboards. Baseboards

provide a stylish accent to any room in your home, but when they’re dirty, they stand out for all the wrong reasons. To clean them, start by vacuuming your baseboards and scrubbing each with a mixture of dish soap and warm water. Dry each with a towel Continued on the next page

before wiping them with a dryer sheet.

This last step will help repel dust from landing on your baseboards. Plus, it’ll give your home a fresh scent. * Vet the vents. One of the joys of warmer weather is the increase in fresh air that flows through your home - as long as that air is clean. To improve the air quality in your home immediately, clean the vents. Dirt, hair, pollen and other debris collect there, so vacuum the vents out to remove particles from your air for good.

.

Located at 15008 Obrien Rd, Harvard, IL.

Hawkwind, an English rock band, in a song called “Sea King,” has this lyric: “Unbid to him comes a rune once taught.”

We have been looking at negative doubles that show length in an unbid major. But what happens when there is no unbid major, as in today’s deal?

Now a negative double promises length in both minor suits. (If North had been stronger, he would have responded two clubs; but with insufficient power to bid immediately at the two-level, he starts with a negative double.) South’s hand isn’t perfect with those three losing spades, but it would be cautious to rebid less than four hearts.

What should the result be after West leads the spade king?

If only South could gain the lead, he could collect a lot of tricks. Now, though, the defenders are in control.

First, East must overtake the spade king with his ace. Then he leads back his second spade. West takes two more tricks in the suit, and East should discard a discouraging diamond two. What happens next?

West should realize that his side has no more side-suit tricks available.

The bidding and East’s signal mark declarer with the diamond ace. Also, if South needs a club finesse to work, it will. The defenders must try to gain a trump trick.

West should lead a fourth spade.

Then, if East is in midseason form, he will ruff with the heart 10, which effects an uppercut. South will overruff, but then West gains a trump trick, the defense’s fourth winner.

When you’ve taken all possible side-suit tricks, try for a trump promotion.
