TODAY’S TALKER

Is free speech fading at colleges? daily Some defenders think that it is The TWEET

By COLLIN BINKLEY The Associated Press

In campus clashes from California to Vermont, many defenders of the First Amendment have said they see signs that free speech, once a bedrock value in academia, is losing ground as a priority at U.S. colleges.

As protests have derailed speeches by controversial figures, including an event with Ann Coulter last month at the University of California, Berkeley, some fear students have come to see the right to free expression less as an enshrined measure of protection for all voices and more as a political weapon used against them by provocateurs.

“I think minority groups and those who feel alienated are especially skeptical about free speech these days,” said Jeffrey Herbst, leader of the Newseum, a Washington group that defends the First Amendment. “But the powerful can get their message across any number of ways. It’s those who feel powerless or alienated who really benefit from enshrined rights.”

On Wednesday, students at the historically black Bethune-Cookman University in Florida tried to shout down a commencement address

by Education Secretary Betsy DeVos, who said during her speech, “Let’s choose to hear one another out.” Students and alumni had previously petitioned to rescind her invitation, saying she doesn’t understand the importance of historically black schools.

While some cast the debate as a political battle, pitting protesters on the left against conservative speakers on the right, First Amendment advocates warn the line marking acceptable speech could slip if more college students adopt less-than-absolute views on free speech.

When UC Berkeley canceled Coulter’s April 27 speech amid threats of violence, it was only the latest example of a speaker with controversial views being blocked from talking. Since the beginning of 2016, nearly 30 campus speeches have been derailed amid controversy, according to the Foundation For Individual Rights In Education.

In many cases, speakers have been targeted for their views on race and sexual identity.

At Middlebury College in Vermont, author Charles Murray was shouted down by students who accused him of espousing racist views. An event featuring Milo Yiannopoulos at Berkeley was called off after protests over his views on race and transgender people turned violent.

In the past year, other speeches have been disrupted or canceled amid student protests at

the University of Wisconsin, UC Davis, Brown University, New York University and DePaul University, among others.

Today’s students have developed a new understanding of free speech that doesn’t protect language seen as offensive to minorities or others thought to be disenfranchised, said Herbst, also a former president of Colgate University, a liberal arts school in Hamilton, New York.

He sees it as a generational divide, a notion that’s supported by some polling data. A 2015 survey by the Pew Research Center, for example, found that 40 percent of people ages 18 to 34 supported government censorship of statements offensive to minorities. Only 24 percent of people ages 51 to 69 agreed.

The literary group PEN America also has warned free speech is being threatened at colleges.

As students and administrators strive to make campuses more hospitable to diverse student bodies, some have wrongly silenced speech that makes certain students feel uncomfortable, said Suzanne Nossel, the group’s director.

“The university has dual imperatives. It has to be a place that is welcoming and open to students of all backgrounds, cognizant of the barriers that impede students from marginalized groups,” she said. “But that cannot and must not come at the expense of being an open environment for speech.”

The events at Berkeley and Middlebury have drawn scorn from observers across the political spectrum, including some founders of the free speech movement that took root at Berkeley in the 1960s. Jack Weinberg, who was arrested on campus in 1964 for violating school codes on activism and sparked a wave of protests to change them, said he found “the whole thing despicable.”

“When you suppress ideas, you also increase interest in those ideas,” Weinberg said. “It’s understandable that people want to stop it, but it doesn’t work.”

Still, some students don’t see a problem with disrupting provocative speakers. Some have said they’re simply invoking their own First Amendment rights, while others have said they’re appealing to higher principles that take priority over free expression.

“If your goal is to come onto university campuses and put communities at risk, and your goal is to bash and spew hateful, racist rhetoric, then we don’t want that,” said Richard Alvarado, a junior at Berkeley who protested both recent speeches. “We as a community have a moral obligation to hold you accountable for it.”

Melodie Gliniewicz arrives Thursday at the Lake County Courthouse in Waukegan surrounded by her legal team. Judge James Booras said Thursday that text messages or emails between Melodie Gliniewicz and her late husband, Joseph, are protected by spousal privilege and cannot be used against her.

‘SACRED’ COMMUNICATION

Judge rules on Gliniewicz texts, delays decision on motion to dismiss case

By JORDYN REILAND

jreiland@shawmedia.com WAUKEGAN – A Lake County judge Thursday dealt a blow to the prosecution of widow Melodie Gliniewicz for what authorities have said is her involvement in disgraced Lt. Joseph Gliniewicz’s misuse of charitable funds from a Fox Lake Police Explorer program.

Lake County Judge James Booras also postponed a ruling on a motion to dismiss the case.

Melodie Gliniewicz faces felony charges of money laundering, conspiracy and misusing charitable funds after Lake County authorities said she

played a role in laundering money and using more than $10,000 worth of charitable funds from the Fox Lake Police Explorer Post 300 for her own personal benefit. Her late husband ran the nonprofit program for youth interested in policing.

Detectives said the Police Explorer money was used to pay for a trip to Hawaii as well as at businesses such as Starbucks, Dunkin’ Donuts, the Fox Lake Theatre and more than 400 other restaurant charges.

Prosecutors charged Melodie Gliniewicz about three months after Lake County Major Crimes Task Force investigators announced Joseph Gliniewicz shot himself. Investi-

gators said Joseph Gliniewicz, fearing that his years of embezzlement would be discovered, staged his September 2015 suicide to look like a homicide.

Melodie Gliniewicz faces up to seven years in prison if convicted.

Melodie Gliniewicz’s attorney, Donald Morrison, had asked the judge to keep prosecutors from using any communication between the couple at trial. Morrison argued the statements would be protected by spousal privilege.

Confidential communications between a husband and wife are protected to ensure that both parties feel free to communicate their deepest feelings to each other without fear of them

coming up in a court of law, according to both state and federal law.

In Illinois, the husband and wife privilege extends to all types of communications between them.

The Lake County Sheriff’s Office recovered text messages from Joseph Gliniewicz’s personal and work cellphones during its investigation – including incriminating messages that were deleted before his death, authorities said. Conversations ranged from his thoughts on Fox Lake Village Administrator Anne Marrin to using the Police Explorer account for various expenses.

Residents continue die-in protest at Hultgren’s office in McHenry

By NATE LINHART

nlinhart@shawmedia.com McHENRY – Jordan Bressler came all the way to McHenry from Mount Morris to join other protesters in a demonstration against the American Health Care Act on Thursday.

Bressler has thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura, a rare blood disorder where blood clots form in small blood vessels throughout the body.

“I’ve been sick since November 2011 and have spent two years and eight months of that time hospitalized,” Bressler said. “I’ve had 13 strokes, I’ve had 28 surgeries, about 18 stays in the [intensive care unit], have done over 370 plasma exchanges and five separate rounds of chemo. And my prescription medicines on top of that are expensive if I don’t have insurance, and I’m a single mom. So I wouldn’t be able to afford all this care.”

Bressler said she also had a daughter, Athena, when she was 24 weeks and one day pregnant.

“My daughter was in the [neonatal intensive care unit] for five months

“The die-in represents the several thousand people that would die due to loss of coverage under this contraction of medical insurance.”

Drew Knobloch

Founder and co-administrator of Indivisible Illinois Congressional District 14 before I even got to bring her home,” Bressler said. “And without my insurance, I would have never gotten the support that I needed to bring her home. I want to see her achieve milestones. …

Without insurance, that’s not possible.”

After Rep. Randy Hultgren, R-Plano, voted in favor of the controversial American Health Care Act to replace the Affordable Care Act, protesters want to make him aware of what they believe the consequences will be under the legislation.

AHCA opponents were protesting Thursday in front of Hultgren’s McHenry office over his support of the legislation proposed under the Trump administration.

The protest followed others led by the Indivisible Illinois Congressional

District 14, an organization comprised of local volunteers and resident activists who are dedicated to resisting President Donald Trump’s agenda.

“The die-in represents the several thousand people that would die due to loss of coverage under this contraction of medical insurance,” said Drew Knobloch, founder and co-administrator of the organization.

The peaceful protest consisted of cardboard gravestones, a skeleton and plenty of anti-Trump signs. A similar protest was held Tuesday in Campton Hills.

McHenry County Board poised to approve electronic voting rules

By KEVIN P. CRAVER

kcraver@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – Five months after its electronic voting system was installed, the McHenry County Board is poised to amend its rules to allow the system’s use.

Board members at their Tuesday meeting are expected to vote to change the rules to reflect the new system – current rules only govern voice vote.

But if Thursday’s Committee of the Whole was an indicator, several members could propose last-minute additions, possibly two that were discarded because of questions about whether a committee had any jurisdiction on the matter.

Under the proposed rules recommended by an Ad Hoc Committee on Governmental Accessibility created

by Chairman Jack Franks, D-Marengo, electronic voting will be used for all roll call votes, except for attendance or in situations in which the equipment is malfunctioning.

The system only will be used during full County Board meetings and not for standing committees, which under Franks now meet in the boardroom so their meetings can be audio-streamed online.

• GLINIEWICZ

Continued from page A3 “The marital communication privilege has a long common law history, and was recognized in order to ‘promote marital harmony and stability,’ ” Morrison said in his motion. “To allow the text messages and emails between the defendant and her husband to be admitted into evidence would betray the purpose of marital privileges.”

Brian Smith, one of Melodie Gliniewicz’s attorneys, said that given the changes in technology over the years, any form of communication between spouses should be considered confidential, including emails and text messages.

“Texts and emails are just another form of written communication,” Smith said in court.

Lake County Assistant State’s Attorney Scott Turk said communications between the couple were found after authorities searched their home.

Turk took issue with the defense’s argument and said he believed all statements should be admissible because they are not direct testimony.

If you go n WHAT: McHenry County Board meeting n WHEN: 7 p.m. Tuesday n WHERE: Administration Building, 667 Ware Road, Woodstock n COST: Free and open to the public One of those committees, the Internal Support and Facilities Committee, had recommended several changes, such as advancing the roll call by one member for each vote and requiring votes to be read out loud after they are cast electronically.

However, Franks did not move those forward, citing the fact that the committee under County Board rules, or any committee for that matter, is not granted the explicit power to amend them. The task in past years has gone to what is now the Internal Services Committee.

The system, which works through the county’s existing audio-streaming and online agenda software, allows board members to vote on issues with their county-issued iPads, and it displays voting results online and on a flat-screen TV behind the chairman’s seat.

It was paid for through the budget of County Clerk Mary McClellan at a

cost of $2,700 for the hardware, and about $1,000 a month for the software.

The county clerk’s responsibilities include counting votes and taking minutes at full meetings of the board.

When the system was first used at the board’s Jan. 17 meeting, board members complained of a lack of training and the fact that County Board rules did not reflect electronic voting. Members have since received training on the system’s use.

Although board Vice Chairman Jeff Thorsen, R-Crystal Lake, said he welcomes any proposed amendments Tuesday, he also said that it’s time to start using the system.

“The best way for us to get this thing on the ground is to start it up and run with it. At this point, we really have beaten this horse. Let’s get it going,” Thorsen said.

If the rules are approved Tuesday evening, the County Board is expected to start using the system at its June voting meeting.

Members also are expected to officially declare a vacancy on the board, which would start the process to replace Andrew Gasser. The Republican from Fox River Grove is resigning to take the office of Algonquin Township highway commissioner, which he won in an upset victory.

“To allow the text messages and emails between the defendant and her husband to be admitted into evidence would betray the purpose of marital privileges.”

Donald Morrison, Melodie Gliniewicz’s attorney “The communications between the defendant and Joseph Gliniewicz involve statements regarding their joint criminal enterprise or conspiracy,” Turk said in his motion.

Judge James Booras said Thursday that text messages or emails between Melodie Gliniewicz and her late husband are protected by spousal privilege and cannot be used against her. He said the marital privilege law in Illinois does not provide an exception for suspected joint criminal activity, as compared with other courts across the country.

“The communication between husband and wife during a marriage is sacred,” Booras said. “No matter what type of communication, the privilege applies.”

Booras also continued a hearing that was held last month to determine whether Melodie Gliniewicz’s charges

would be dismissed on constitutional grounds. Defense attorneys argued that the charges are unconstitutionally vague and the state shouldn’t be allowed to prosecute her for crimes committed by her husband.

Based on the judge’s ruling, prosecutors will have to present evidence as to why the charges should not be dismissed. Turk has said that Melodie Gliniewicz knew about her husband’s criminal activity.

Prosecutors will present their case at a June 13 hearing. A trial previously was set for May 30, but the matter will be rescheduled for a later date.

Turk declined to comment on how the judge’s decision might affect the prosecution’s case.

WOODSTOCK – Woodstock students got a chance to get outside and learn about the local water system Thursday at the annual McHenry County Youth Groundwater Festival.

The program is put on annually by the McHenry County Schools Environmental Education Program in coordination with the McHenry County Planning and Development Department, the McHenry County Department of Health, the McHenry and Lake Soil and Water Conservation District, McHenry County College Sustainability Center, Gewalt Hamilton Associates Inc., the Environmental Defenders of McHenry County and Woodstock High School’s environmental science department.

The event aims to educate students on the importance of groundwater conservation.

“It’s a great opportunity for students to learn about what is probably our most precious resource in our county, which is our water,” said

tors; and local pollinator groups from environmental education organizations attended the event.

“Water education at every level is so important,” said Kim Hankins of MCC’s Sustainability Center. “One of the reasons we support this is so that when they come to MCC, they can have that background. It’s nice to make these connections at a young age so when they come to MCC they can continue.”

Kristina Hermansson’s sixthgrade Challenge Corps class did a little bit of water research before hitting the fields Thursday, and they were ready to learn more. Students especially appreciated the hands-on approach, some said.

“I like how we can walk around here and be close to nature and see all the animals and things like that,” said Ingrid Gay, 12.

Classmate Adeline Arana, 12, said she also enjoyed the day.

“I think it’s great,” she said. “In the Challenge Corps program we do different activities to challenge ourselves, and this is just another great way to learn something new.”

MCC student gets scholarship to study abroad in Costa Rica

By NATE LINHART

nlinhart@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – A McHenry County College student recently was selected to receive a $3,000 scholarship to study in Costa Rica this summer.

According to the school, this is the first MCC student to receive a full-ride scholarship to study abroad.

Alondra Flores of Woodstock was awarded the Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship, sponsored by the U.S. Alondra Department of State’s Flores Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, to study abroad this summer. The program offers grants of up to $5,000 to help U.S. citizens who are undergraduate students with limited finances to pursue internships abroad or academic studies.

Flores graduated from Woodstock High School in 2016 and re-

cently completed her first year of studies toward an associate degree.

She works as a waitress at Isabel’s Family Restaurant in Woodstock and at Olive Garden in McHenry.

“Winning the scholarship makes me very proud because I have two jobs to help pay for my study abroad,” Flores said.

MCC students were offered the choice to study in Austria, China, Costa Rica, England, France, India, Ireland or Spain.

Flores said the reason she chose to study in Costa Rica is because she plans to minor in Spanish when she transfers to a four-year university next year. She will live with a host family during her studies.

In addition to the $3,000 scholarship, Flores is one of six MCC students who have earned a $500 study abroad scholarship from MCC to study in Costa Rica and France this summer.

These students will have the chance to experience the culture firsthand and improve their Spanish- or French-speaking skills.

of Hultgren. LeMaire said she came out for her brother, who recently has experienced a medical crisis.

“He’s going to cap out on his insurance and his deductible, and we don’t know what his future holds for him down the line,” LeMaire said. “ … We as Americans should be able to provide people basic health care needs from birth to death and not have to worry about those kind of things.

People should just be able to get medical care when the need it.”

The bill, proposed by Republican legislators as a replacement to the Affordable Care Act, passed May 4 by a slim margin of 217-213. Voting in its approval were Hultgren and Peter Roskam, R-Wheaton. Hultgren and Roskam were among the seven Illinois House Republicans who voted last week to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act. The 11 Illinois Democrats in Congress all voted against the bill.

After the vote, Hultgren said in a statement that he would “ensure people with pre-existing conditions are protected.”

On the Web See more photos from the die-in protest at NWHerald.com.

“Maintaining the status quo under a failing law is simply unacceptable,” Hultgren said in the statement. “I have had great concerns about this bill, and expressed those to Speaker [Paul] Ryan and [the] House leadership. But doing nothing isn’t an option, which is why I supported this amended bill as an important next step in the longer process of broader health reform that will benefit Illinois.”

Diana Haskins, a 79-year-old resident from Huntley who believes people can’t count on the AHCA, also attended the protest.

“A lot of my family members were helped by Obamacare, and I was too,” Haskins said. “I’m on Medicare because I’m 79. But my secondary insurance was costing me over $700 a month on top of Medicare. … When Obamacare came along, finally I had Blue Cross and Blue Shield. It’s a good secondary and just over $200 a month. And I can afford that.”

The bill next will go to the Senate.

hprokop@shawmedia.com McHENRY – When veterans return home, many of their lives are forever changed by what they experienced while serving, TLS Veterans Executive Director Laura Franz said.

Stress, anxiety and recurring memories veterans experience can be intrusive into everyday life – but a therapy program the organization offers can help, Franz said.

TLS Veterans, with funding from the McHenry County Mental Health Board, is hosting its second session of

a therapy group that uses the Emotional Freedom Technique, which involves tapping certain parts of the head or chest to relieve symptoms of stress.

“It really is a wonderful tool for being able to cope and get focused on what’s happening in the here and now so that you’re not interrupted by what happened before,” Franz said.

The program previously was held in Lake in the Hills and funded by the McHenry County Behavioral Health Foundation. TLS Veterans started hosting the group at the start of the year, Franz said.

From 6 to 7:15 p.m. Monday, inter-

ested veterans can stop by TLS Veterans, 5330 W. Elm St., McHenry, to learn more about the next session, which Franz hopes will be an ongoing group.

The group facilitator is clinical social worker Julie Gibson, who also ran the first session.

“The No. 1 feedback that we’ve received in all the big surveys of veterans’ needs when they come back with is, ‘We would like a nonmedicinal way to deal with our issues,’ ” Gibson said.

The tapping technique is a self-help tool, Gibson said, and allows veterans to focus on lowering stress levels without having to go into detail about any

traumatic experiences. Each group will start with a dinner and be followed by a mindfulness and tapping session, she said.

After the sessions, veterans have told Gibson they’ve never slept better and never understood themselves better, she said.

The group is open to all veterans, and Franz and Gibson said TLS may begin to include veterans’ family members if there is enough interest. A group would consist of about 10 people.

The program is free to participants.

Questions can be directed to Franz at 815-679-6667.

hprokop@shawmedia.com ALGONQUIN – Preliminary plans for a new senior living facility in Algonquin are moving forward; however, some trustees had concerns with the effect it would have on traffic in the area and whether a new senior home was needed.

Mike Longfellow of Spectrum Acquisition Algonquin LLC submitted development plans for the 160-unit building that would include independent and assisted-living options. The facility would be located off Harnish Drive, just south of Jacobs High School.

“This is a location that we are extremely excited about,” Longfellow said.

Spectrum also operates Three Oaks Assisted Living and Memory Care in Cary. If plans are approved, the Algonquin senior facility would open in late 2019, Longfellow said.

The Algonquin building would be about 157,000 square feet and range from two to three stories, Algonquin Senior Planner Katie Parkhurst said. There

Amenities would include a bistro, wellness spa, library, theater and landscaped courtyards, and three meals a day would be included with rent, village documents show.

If plans go through, Spectrum would annex about 30 acres into the village.

The senior facility would sit on about 10 acres, and the rest of the property

“My concern is in two years’ time, I don’t want to see a half-empty building,” Steigert said. “If you would’ve come before me with a multi-tenant residential component that was already firmed up, I’d be far more receptive.”

Longfellow said he is optimistic about filling the space. He said Spectrum was conservative with its market research.

Algonquin Trustees Debby Sosine, John Spella, Janis Jasper and Jerry Glogowski, as well as Village President John Schmitt, voted “yes” to moving the item on to the Village Board meeting, while Laura Brehmer and Steigert voted “no.”

Brehmer said she would like to see more traffic studies done in the area, and Steigert said he’d rather see a development with more people who would frequent the village’s businesses.

If preliminary plans for the facility are approved by the Village Board at its next meeting, 7:30 p.m. Tuesday at Ganek Municipal Center, 2200 Harnish Drive, finalized plans would be voted on by the board at a later time.

Camping World leader says Gander Mountain will close NORTHWEST HERALD

ALGONQUIN – The Gander Mountain in Algonquin did not make the cut of stores that will remain open under the company’s new ownership.

Camping World announced Monday that it plans to operate 70 or more Gander Mountain stores, but did not immediately identify locations.

On Wednesday, Camping World Chairman and CEO Marcus Lemonis tweeted that the Algonquin store would close. Jobs at Camping World can be found at campingworldgoodsamjobs.com, Lemonis said in the tweet.

Gander Mountain stores in Marion, Peoria and Springfield are the Illinois locations that will remain open,

according to a list posted on Lemonis’ Twitter account.

In the meantime, Gander Mountain is liquidating inventory at all 126 of its remaining locations.

“The current liquidation of the existing Gander Mountain inventory will allow us to start with a clean slate of what we consider the appropriate mix and level of inventory, including the addition of Camping World and Overton’s offerings where appropriate,” Lemonis said in the statement.

Camping World operates 125 stores in 36 states, specializing in the sale of recreational vehicles, parts and accessories. The company has one Illinois store in Wauconda. Camping World had a store in Bolingbrook that closed several years ago.

Neutrogena chairman Lloyd Cotsen dies at 88 The ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES – Lloyd Cotsen, who made a fortune as chairman of the Neutrogena soap and cosmetics company and devoted millions to charity, has died in California. He was 88.

Cotsen died on Monday at his home in Beverly Hills, according to Lynn Berger, a family spokeswoman.

Cotsen joined his father-in-law’s cosmetics firm and by 1967 he was president. He marketed Neutrogena by getting luxury hotels to buy it and dermatologists to recommend it.

Sales of the clear amber soap soared as Cotsen helped build the company into a worldwide brand.

The company was sold to Johnson & Johnson in 1994 for $924 million, of which Cotsen received about $350 million.

Cotsen used some of the money to expand his lifelong penchant for collecting. He amassed collections of folk art, illustrated children’s books, Japanese bamboo baskets, antique Chinese mirrors and other items.

He donated collections to museums and universities. More than 40,000 children’s books, some hundreds of years old, were donated to Princeton University, Cotsen’s alma mater, where they are housed in a children’s library that bears his name.

• Continued from page A11

Cotsen also donated more than 3,000 objects, including textiles, to the Museum of International Folk Art in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

The objects “appeal to my curiosity, to the thrill of discovery of the extraordinary in the ordinary, to my sense of humor, to my love of pattern, color, and texture, to my search for the beauty in form and simplicity, and to my perceiving beauty in and behind the object,” Cotsen wrote, according to a museum website.

Cotsen also made charitable donations in the fields of education and archaeology.

He donated millions to the University of California, Los Angeles, which renamed its archaeology institute in his honor.

His Cotsen Foundation provides teaching fellowships and grants to elementary schools in California for coaching and mentoring of teachers.

Cotsen’s life was shattered by the 1979 killing of his first wife, 14-yearold son and another youth. They were tied up and shot by a masked intruder in their Beverly Hills home while Cotsen was out of town.

The suspect, a business rival who had feuded with Cotsen over rights to the Neutrogena trademark, later killed himself at his home in Belgium on the day that Beverly Hills detectives were scheduled to question him.

Recovering heroin addict recalls son’s overdose

By MATT DUTTON

The Quincy Herald-Whig CARTHAGE – Naperville native Tim Ryan has experienced the worst sides of the opioid epidemic.

A heroin addict, Ryan spent 14 months in prison. Six months after his release, his son, Nick, 20, died of a heroin overdose.

“When my son died, every Facebook message and text was drug-related,” he said. “Parents don’t know what they don’t know.”

Ryan shared his story on an April night during the Opioid Crisis Next Door, a substance abuse awareness presentation at Carthage’s Legacy Theater.

Naperville police Detective Rich Wistocki also spoke on cellphone monitoring and cybercrimes.

“It’s empowering parents to let them know what’s going on with technology,” Ryan said. “A mother’s intuition is right. If they think something is going on, something is going on.”

Ryan has been sober for 4½ years.

He is the founder of A Man in Recovery Foundation and chief marketing officer for Banyan Treatment Centers; has been featured in national publications and on TV shows; and recently published a memoir, “From Dope to Hope: A Man in Recovery.”

Ryan had simple advice.

“Quit being friends with your kids.

Be parents,” he said. “With my son, I wasn’t his parent. I was his friend, and

WASHBURN – Authorities said a tornado briefly touched down in a rural area of central Illinois.

The National Weather Service said the weak tornado was reported Wednesday evening near Washburn and did little damage apart from damaging trees. No injuries were reported.

The tornado came as strong thunderstorms moved across the state. Winds ranging from 55 to 70 mph from the storms knocked down trees and power lines. Parts of the state had been under tornado warnings Wednesday evening.

Trump: I was going to fire Comey anyway

By JULIE PACE, EILEEN SULLIVAN and JAKE PEARSON The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – Contradicting previous White House explanations, President Donald Trump declared Thursday he had planned to fire FBI Director James Comey all along, regardless of whether top Justice Department officials recommended the stunning step.

His assertions came as Comey’s temporary replacement joined in, contradicting other administration statements on the snowballing controversy.

In an interview with NBC News, Trump also said he’d asked Comey point-blank if he was under investigation and was assured three times he was not. Trump showed no concern that the request might be viewed as interference in an active FBI probe into his 2016 campaign’s possible ties to Russia’s election meddling.

“I said, ‘If it’s possible, would you let me know am I under investigation?’ He said you are not under investigation,” Trump told NBC. He said the discussions happened in two phone calls and at a dinner in which Comey was asking to keep his job.

Comey has not confirmed Trump’s account.

The New York Times late Thursday cited two unnamed Comey associates who recounted his tale of a January dinner with the president in which Trump asked for a pledge of loyalty.

Comey declined, instead offering “honesty.” When Trump then pressed for “honest loyalty,” Comey told the president, “you will have that,” said the associates, who told the newspaper they agreed to keep the story confidential while Comey was FBI director.

White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders disputed the report and said the president would “never even suggest the expectation of per-

AP photo

Acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe listens Thursday on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., while testifying before a Senate Intelligence Committee hearing on major threats facing the U.S. sonal loyalty.”

But the account echoed wording in a comment made a day earlier to The Associated Press by longtime Comey friend Daniel Richman, a former federal prosecutor, who said the president had removed “somebody unwilling to pledge absolute loyalty to him.”

The White House initially cited a Justice Department memo criticizing Comey’s handling of last year’s investigation into Hillary Clinton’s emails as the impetus for Trump’s decision. But Trump on Thursday acknowledged for the first time that the Russia investigation – which he dismissed as a “made-up story” – also was on his mind as he ousted the man overseeing the probe.

The shifting accounts of the decision to fire Comey, whom Trump derided as a “showboat” and “grandstander,” added to a mounting sense of uncertainty and chaos in the West Wing, as aides scrambled to get their stories straight and appease an angry president.

Not even Vice President Mike Pence was spared the embarrassment of having told a version of events that was later discredited by Trump.

The White House’s explanations continued to crumble

throughout the day Thursday.

On Capitol Hill, acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe strongly disputed the White House’s assertion that Comey had been fired in part because he had lost the confidence of the FBI’s rank-and-file.

“That is not accurate,” McCabe said. “Director Comey enjoyed broad support within the FBI and still does to this day.”

Unfazed, Sanders insisted she had heard from “countless” members of the FBI who welcomed the president’s decision.

McCabe also pointed out the remarkable nature of Trump’s version of his conversations with Comey. McCabe told a Senate panel it was not “standard practice” to tell an individual whether they are under investigation.

Previous presidents have made a public show of staying out of legal matters, so as not to appear to be injecting politics.

Trump’s comments demonstrated his striking deviation from that practice.

The ousted director himself is said to be confident that his own version of events will come out, possibly in an appearance before Congress, according to an associate who has been in touch with him since his firing Tuesday.

New commission to investigate voter fraud

By KEN THOMAS

The Associated Press WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump signed an executive order Thursday launching a commission to review alleged voter fraud and voter suppression, building upon his unsubstantiated claims that millions of people voted illegally in the 2016 election.

The White House said the president’s “Advisory Commission on Election Integrity” would examine allegations of improper voting and fraudulent voter registration in states and across the nation. Vice President Mike Pence will chair the panel and Kansas Secretary Kris Kobach of State Kris Kobach will be vice chair of the commission, which will report back to Trump by 2018.

“We can’t take for granted the integrity of the vote,” Pence said in a statement. He said the commission would “review ways to strengthen the integrity of elections in order to protect and preserve the principle of one person, one vote because the integrity of the vote is the foundation of our democracy.”

Trump has alleged, without evidence, that 3 million to 5 million people voted illegally in his 2016 election against Democrat Hillary Clinton. He has vowed since the start of his administration to investigate voter fraud, a process that has been delayed for months.

Last November, Kobach said he supported Trump’s assertions that he would have won the popular vote if “millions” of people hadn’t voted illegally.

Democrats and voting rights groups called the panel a sham, arguing there are few, if any, credible allegations of significant voter fraud. They warned that the panel would be used to lay the groundwork for stricter voting requirements that could make it more difficult for poor and minority voters to access the ballot box.

“The sole purpose of this commission is to propagate a myth and to give encouragement to Republican governors and state legislators to increase voter suppression,” said Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, who challenged Clinton for the Democratic presidential nomination.

Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer of New York said it was a “clear front for constricting the access to vote to poor Americans, older Americans, and – above all – African-Americans and Latinos.”

White House spokeswoman Sarah

Huckabee Sanders said the commission would be bipartisan and composed of about a dozen members, including current and former state election officials and experts.

“The president is committed to the thorough review of registration and voting issues in federal elections and that’s exactly what this commission is tasked with doing,” Sanders said.

The panel will aim to ensure confidence in the integrity of federal elections while looking at vulnerabilities in the system and the possibility of improper voting and fraudulent voter registration and voting, officials said.

The commission will Mike Pence include two Republicans, former Ohio Secretary of State Ken Blackwell and Indiana Secretary of State Connie Lawson, and two Democrats, New Hampshire Secretary of State Bill Gardner and Maine Secretary of State Matthew Dunlap.

Christy McCormick, a former Justice Department attorney and a member of the U.S. Election Assistance Commission, will also be on the panel, and others will be named soon.

Trump repeatedly alleged that the election system was “rigged” during his campaign and later argued that massive, widespread fraud kept him from winning the popular vote. Trump won the presidency with an Electoral College victory even though Clinton received nearly 3 million more votes.

Voting experts and many lawmakers, including House Oversight Committee Chairman Jason Chaffetz, have said they haven’t seen anything to suggest that millions of people voted illegally. The Utah Republican said his committee won’t be investigating voter fraud.

But in a lunch meeting with senators in February, Trump said he and former Republican Sen. Kelly Ayotte would have won in New Hampshire if not for voters bused in from out of state. New Hampshire officials have said there was no evidence of major voter fraud in the state.

Michael Waldman, president of the New York-based Brennan Center for Justice, said the commission was formed to “find proof of the president’s absurd claim” about millions of people voting illegally. He noted that it came in the aftermath of Trump’s firing of FBI Director James Comey on Tuesday.

“He fired the person investigating a real threat to election integrity, and set up a probe of an imaginary threat,” Waldman said.

The HealthCare.gov 2017 website home page is on display Oct. 24 in Washington. Early moves by insurers in some states suggest another round of higher prices and limited choices will greet health insurance shoppers in markets around the country.

By TOM MURPHY

The Associated Press

AP file photo

Prices for this type of insurance are already being affected by evaporating competition.

With the latest departures, more than 40 percent of U.S. counties would have only one insurer selling coverage on their marketplaces for next year, according to data compiled by The Associated Press and the consulting firm Avalere.

That assumes no other insurers leave and none step in by the time customers start shopping for coverage in the fall.

These state-based marketplaces, known as exchanges, were established by the Affordable Care Act as a place for customers to compare prices and

buy coverage, often with help from income-based tax credits. They provided coverage for about 12 million people this year.

The idea was that competition for customers would keep prices low. But insurers faced big losses in some markets, and they got less financial support from the government than they expected. They’ve been raising prices and pulling out of some markets altogether in response.

When insurers leave, prices rise. Insurers face less pressure to drive down prices to attract customers, and they also have to raise rates because they

Early moves by insurers suggest that another round of price hikes and limited choices will greet insurance shoppers around the country when they start searching for next year’s coverage on the public markets established by the Affordable Care Act. Insurance companies are still making decisions about whether to offer coverage for individuals next year on these markets, and price increase requests are only just starting to be revealed by state regulators. But in recent weeks big insurers like Aetna and Humana have been dropping out of markets or saying that they aren’t ready to commit. And regulators in Virginia and Maryland have reported early price hike requests ranging from just under 10 percent to more than 50 percent.

Increases like that will probably will be seen in other states, too, as insurers set prices to account for uncertain support from a federal government led by a new president who wants to scrap and replace the law, said Sabrina Corlette, a research professor at Georgetown Health Policy Institute. “For the consumer, they’re going to see big rate hikes,” Corlette said.

must cover all the sick patients who apply in that market.

The median coverage price this year for one typical plan was about 67 percent higher in marketplaces with one insurer compared to those that had six or more, according to a study by the non-profit Urban Institute.

Insurers are now also concerned about the uncertain future of the Affordable Care Act, as Republicans in Congress hash out a plan to replace the law.

President Donald Trump has repeatedly predicted the demise of the law and its exchanges, and insurers are concerned about the fate of two provisions that keep the market working: a government subsidy that makes coverage more affordable, and a mandate that all people get insurance or pay a fine, which keeps costs lower by mixing healthy and sick people together.

“Everything might be worse everywhere,” said Katherine Hempstead, a senior adviser with the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, which studies the Obama-era health system and health care issues.

The nation’s third-largest insurer, Aetna, said Wednesday that it will completely leave the exchanges for 2018 after projecting a $200 million loss for this year.

A battle of New Orleans

By intimidation and the veiled or open threat of violence, a motley band of white supremacists, Confederate sympathizers and self-appointed advocates of Southern heritage are endeavoring to halt the city of New Orleans’s efforts to relocate monuments lionizing the Confederacy. By impeding the lawful, legitimate acts of an elected government, the statues’ champions, some of them bearing weapons, are not merely disturbing the peace; they are also revealing their contempt for the basic values of a multicultural democracy and a highly diverse city. They cannot be allowed to succeed.

New Orleans’s plan to remove the four monuments was put in motion by a 6-to-1 vote of the City Council in December 2015, a few months after Dylann Roof, a white supremacist enamored of Confederate symbols, massacred nine African Americans at a prayer service in Charleston, South Carolina.

“The time surely comes when [justice] must and will be heard,” Mitch Landrieu, the city’s Democratic mayor, said at the time. “The Confederacy, you see, was on the wrong side of history and humanity.”

Landrieu has been patient and cautious; now, having beaten back frivolous legal challenges to the city’s plan, he deserves support. His intent is not to destroy the monuments, as obstructionists falsely portray it, but to relocate them to a museum, garden or other site suitable for historical artifacts. That is fair treatment for the monuments, which date from the late 19th century – statues of Confederate President Jefferson Davis, Gens. Robert E. Lee and P.G.T. Beauregard, and a 15,000-pound obelisk, nearly 40 feet tall, commemorating the bloody 1874 attack by a racist white militia on integrated police forces during Reconstruction.

(The obelisk was removed last month.)

In the flux and reinvention of many big American cities, much goes under the bulldozer’s blade; no one is suggesting that fate for these monuments, which, especially in the case of the Lee statue, are resonant for many New Orleanians.

However, it is a historical fact that the Confederacy rose up against the U.S. in order to preserve an economic system based on slavery – an affront to fundamental human rights.

The Confederate cause and its icons, overtaken by history, are now deeply offensive to many Americans, including black people, who happen to make up a sizable majority of New Orleans’s population.

In a local newspaper, the Advocate, an indignant white New Orleanian, Frank Stewart Jr., disingenuously likened the relocation of the monuments to the destruction of the Egyptians pyramids or the Roman Colosseum. That’s nonsense; the monuments will remain in New Orleans, accessible to the public. Relocating the statues would memorialize and contextualize a distant time without dishonoring it.

In the meantime, Landrieu and New Orleans authorities need and deserve help from the FBI and other federal law enforcement agencies to ensure that the open threats by fringe figures – some of whom stand vigil at the statues fully armed, as permitted by Louisiana’s open-carry law – are not fulfilled. The statues’ removal must not be impeded by violent extremists.

Why make student loans tougher?

Education Secretary Betsy DeVos has withdrawn Obama administration guidance that would have required the companies that service federal student loans to accept consumer-protection clauses as part of their new contracts.

But if the servicers don’t want to serve borrowers, maybe Congress should remove the servicers from the system.

Because people who take out student loans can’t always repay them on schedule, federal law allows borrowers to make or skip payments based on their income. But the rules are complex.

And borrowers not only have to work with their servicers to get on the right plans, they often look to their servicers to tell them what options they have. Yet the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has caught servicers losing track of paperwork and giving out inconsistent information.

The Obama administration said that in awarding new loan-servicing contracts – the current ones expire in 2019 – bureaucrats should consider the servicers’ past performance. And it said the contracts should include consumer protections.

The Obama team was obviously right. Why

have contracts expire if renewal won’t depend on performance? And since the student-loan system exists to help borrowers pay for their education, not to make a profit for the lender (the federal government), borrower service is a big part of what the servicers are being hired to do.

Yet a lobbying group for the student-loan servicers complained that even under the current contracts, they had been subjected to new requirements and given inadequate compensation. And DeVos appears to be siding with them against the millions of Americans who owe student loans. This is the second time she’s done that; she also dropped an Obamaera rule designed to protect borrowers who default. That’s unfair.

If the companies aren’t willing to take responsibility for customer service, Congress should look for alternatives. Perhaps the Education Department can administer the loans itself.

Or perhaps the IRS, which has experience getting people to pay based on their income, should do it. One way or another, the government must make the student-loan repayment process work for the people caught up in it.

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.

Trumpcare cruel, inhumane

To the Editor: Regarding Trumpcare 2.0: You were never undecided. You knew you’d tow the Republican Party line. Your lengthy reply on Facebook proves you had your strategy laid out days ago.

All of our urgent and heartfelt calls, faxes, letters and tweets fell on deaf ears.

What you don’t understand is the level of stress you and the Republican Party have created in our lives. The fear and anxiety we feel is very real.

We don’t know whether we will be able to afford basic health care for ourselves let alone manage a catastrophic illness without going bankrupt.

This is cruel and inhumane. America is the richest country in the world. The Constitution speaks of our right to life, liberty and the pursuit happiness. Yet you and your Republicans in Congress deny us the essentials to obtain it.

Health care is not exclusively for the rich. It’s a basic human right.

You have made it perfectly clear that you do not care about the people in

VIEWS Ed Rogers wanting to know why something was done one way and not another. And, considering the media’s anti-Trump disposition, we all know how eager the outlets will be to pounce on the president and his team in the aftermath of their seemingly unexpected announcement.

In the Trump administration, planning and execution of policy are too often conducted on the fly. And at the end of day, I think the stories about Comey’s firing are going to be more about process than substance.

Because once again, the Democrats and their allies in the media can’t control themselves when they think they see a pivotal moment. They will be disappointed.

Importantly, it was Rod Rosenstein, the nation’s longest-serving U.S. attorney who was confirmed as deputy attorney general April 25 by the Senate on a 94-6 vote, not a partisan political operative, who recommended Comey’s firing. And any review of the Rosenstein memo makes plain that Comey’s firing is not a crack in

your district unless they are a campaign donor or offer a publicity event and photo op. You do not represent my best interests. You are an adversary.

I promise you I will work very hard to see that you no longer have the job of representing me.

Siding with banks over small business

To the Editor: The U.S. Congress is poised to side with banks over small businesses and the customers they serve. The issue this time? The fees banks are allowed to impose every time a consumer uses their debit card.

Before 2010, banks could, and did, charge anything they wanted. The retailer had no recourse but to accept the costs. Illinois’ own U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin recognized the monopoly in the card processing space and successfully passed reforms to incentivize competition and introduce

American democracy, not a Nixonian Saturday Night Massacre, and not the sign of a president out of control. The end is not near. What it is, however, is the president following sound advice from a serious, credentialed and experienced leader, in whom he has entrusted great responsibility.

The Rosenstein memo makes the reasoning behind Comey’s firing nonpartisan and completely bulletproof. His argument, and that of the Justice Department and the entire Trump administration, is clear – even if subsequent White House statements muddled it.

Still, the media will drag this development out longer than it should, reporters will second-guess the facts, the media will produce distracting collateral stories, and, as we have seen today and will continue to see for days to come, the left will inevitably over-extrapolate that the White House and Republicans in general are failing at governance.

But to think of Trump as a legitimate target in the crosshairs of a Russia-related collusion investigation is little more than a fantasy for the Democratic Party. And suggesting that the president fired Comey out of some misguided fear or retribution for being under investigation is a wild

leap. After all, there is no evidence to suggest that Trump is under investigation for colluding with the Russian government. Anything to the contrary is simply partisan spin meant to stymie the president’s agenda.

The left’s constant attacks on Trump sort of remind me of the fakenews narrative that lives today, that “Bush lied, people died” in defending the invasion of Iraq. All the Democrats need is a not-so-clever rhyme for the Comey firing to become part of their false narrative about Trump.

Ultimately, the White House will face more criticism and backlash on matters of process than about the long-overdue firing itself. As James Robbins wrote, the former FBI director “had been a dead man walking for some time.”

His time just arrived sooner than some expected.

A recent letter to the editor suggested this reform was harming banks and, therefore, businesses and consumers. Nothing could be less accurate.

Even after reforms, retailers pay banks nearly $80 billion annually in hidden acceptance fees – the highest in the world. In 2015, U.S. retailers paid 3.5 times more per transaction than retailers in the United Kingdom and four times more than retailers in Belgium, Hungary, Iceland, Poland and Spain.

transaction yet banks are allowed to charge nearly 25 cents. Imagine where those fees would be if not for Durbin’s efforts!

More reforms are needed. However, the banks are back trying to restore their monopoly at a time when businesses in Illinois are under assault and consumers seek savings.

Congress should not be looking to repeal the Durbin amendment, they should be looking to expand it to bring competition and transparency to credit card fees.

Former FBI director James Comey is out, and a lot of people in Washington, D.C., are shocked – but others, not so much. My question is, what took President Donald Trump so long?

In January, after news broke that the Justice Department’s inspector general had opened an investigation into how the now-ousted FBI director “handled the probe of Hillary Clinton’s email practices,” I suggested that it would probably be best for Comey to resign. Unless a change was made at the very top, I thought, the FBI’s reputation, and that of its director, would be met with continued distrust, uncertainty and unabashed hostility.

Fast forward a few months and both parties are now more conflicted than ever before: Republicans because they defended Comey, Democrats because they blamed him. As David Ignatius said recently, “It’s strange that the Democrats who were so angry at [Comey] are now furious at his firing.” The truth is obvious. Democrats are only interested in Comey’s firing because they think it is good leverage to prod, poke and call for a special prosecutor to investigate this president and his administration in hopes that something bad will happen.

In Washington, every White House decision is second-guessed by critics

Target-date funds: Using humans, not index

By STAN CHOE

The Associated Press NEW YORK – In the battle for investors’ dollars, the humans have largely lost.

Last year, investors pulled $340 billion out of mutual funds run by managers who are trying to beat the market. Instead, dollars are flowing into index funds, which are content to track the market and charge lower fees for doing so.

Investors are still giving money to active managers in one notable area, though, which also happens to be one of the hottest for retirement saving.

Target-date funds offer a simple, doit-for-you approach to building a nest egg, and one of the fastest-growing providers in the field is American Funds. All its offerings are actively managed, and its target-date funds drew $16 billion in investment last year, according to Morningstar. The only firm to attract more was Vanguard, the giant that helped make index funds the default for many investors.

Target-date funds are built for savers looking to retire in a certain year, and they grow more conservative as the date approaches. The industry calls this shift a “glidepath,” and funds do it by moving increasingly from stocks to bonds. American Funds goes a step beyond because it shifts the kinds of stocks and bonds it owns as well, said Bradley Vogt, who leads the committee responsible

Answers have Q: So how are your funds different been edited for clarity and length. from those built on passive, or index funds?

Q: Are investors more willing to A: Our feeling is that if you have hire an active manager for target-date a 20-year-old and 45- and 75-year-old, funds than other kinds? they should not only own different A: I think so.

Most of the thing as the index (of investments de- other leading glidepaths out there signed for someone retiring in 10 or are pretty consistent, and they’re 20 years). Something may be based fairly growthy. So the 75-year-old has on passive funds, but it’s all actively a smaller amount of the same kind

of stocks as a 25-year-old. We think there are better ways to do it.

Instead of the 75-year-old mother-in-law owning Apple, Google, Microsoft and Facebook, just in smaller amounts than her son and granddaughter, our glidepath has the 75-year-old’s largest holdings as Verizon, Philip Morris, AbbVie, Coca Cola – higher dividend yield, blue chip, slower moving but lower volatility stocks and hopefully dividend growth.

Q: Your target-date funds started 10 years ago, just before the 2008 financial crisis. What changes have you made to the funds in that time?

A: The crisis happened. We watched that, horrified, and we waited for things to recover. After they recovered, we moved the equity in the retirement phase down a little bit. “Ok, that was a little too volatile for the 70-year-olds.” And we watched highyield bonds be even more correlated with equities than we would have thought and than they had been historically, so we dialed back high-yield bonds as a portion of the fixed income.

And we’ve added a few funds - the mortgage fund, inflation-protected bonds, International Growth & Income, the Global Balanced fund.

We’re architects: We build the house, and we watch it. If there’s a big storm, and we see the roof is buckling, we go in and fix the roofline. But it’s our next best permanent idea.

We’re not going to come back in three months and change it.

WORTH TALKIN’ ABOUT FRIDAY, MAY 12, 2017

NEW YORK – Jennifer Hudson is taking a turn in one of the spinning chairs of “The Voice.”

NBC has announced the one-time “American Idol” contestant will look to uncover potential singing stars when she joins fellow coaches Blake Shelton, Adam Levine and Miley Cyrus for the fall season of the reality singing competition.

Hudson was a coach for the U.K. version of the series earlier this year, with her team winning her debut season with the franchise. The announcement comes just days after ABC said it was bringing “American Idol” back to the air just a year after it was canceled by Fox.

Demi Lovato (left) and Kate Hudson arrive Wednesday at the launch of Demi Lovato and Fabletics Collaboration Collection in Beverly Hills, Calif.

Demi Lovato, Kate Hudson collaborate on workout clothes BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. – Kate Hudson and Demi Lovato went from working out at the gym together to working on a fashion-line collaboration.

Hudson, who co-founded activewear brand Fabletics in 2013, said she instantly hit it off with the “Confident” singer when the two ran into each other at the gym. They were celebrating together Wednesday at the Demi Lovato for Fabletics Collaboration launch event.

“Because she is fierce. It was perfect,” said Hudson, 38. “Her values and what she stands for is a big part of what our brand is really pushing out there for women. Body positivity, strength, taking control of your life and things.

She’s been a very open communicator about things in her own life, which I think is really important for women to feel like they can come out and be really open about things that are going on in their life and finding happiness.”

Lovato, 24, said she has bipolar disorder and has been an advocate for mental health awareness. The pop singer said the fashion line reflects her story.

“It’s come forward through the confidence that you get when you wear the clothing and the cuts are great, the compression in the pants are great. It’s all about feeling comfortable while you’re working out and while you are going about your day,” Lovato said. She trains regularly with mixed martial arts fighters and said she also enjoys workouts “with weights, like strength and conditioning.”

The new limited-edition capsule collection is youthful with leggings in pink and yellow flowered prints, black-and-white shorts and long-sleeved gray shirts. A long, hot-pink tank top is emblazoned with “CONFIDENT” in capital letters at the bottom.

LONDON – Australian writer Fiona McFarlane has won the Dylan Thomas Prize for young literary talents with her globe-trotting volume of short stories, “The High Places.”

McFarlane won the $39,000 award at a ceremony in Swansea, Wales.

Named for the late Welsh poet, the prize is open to fiction by English-language writers aged 39 or under. Thomas, author of “Under Milk Wood,” was 39 when he died in 1953.

McFarlane is 39 and “High Places” is her second book. The stories’ characters include a middle-aged couple on a disastrous holiday and a scientist living on an island with a giant squid and the ghost of Charles Darwin.

Dai Smith, who chaired the judging panel, on Wednesday called the stories “haunting in their oddity and moving in their human empathy.”

Ben Affleck, Orlando Bloom among ‘Red Nose Day’ stars

LOS ANGELES – Ben Affleck, Jack Black, Orlando Bloom, Paul Rudd and DJ Khaled are donning red noses to help kids as part of TV’s “Red Nose Day Special.”

NBC announced Thursday that those stars will be joined by Julia Roberts, Mark Hamill, Bear Grylls, Dax Shepard, Yvette Nicole Brown and the cast of TV’s “This is Us” during

the fundraising telecast on May 25.

The hourlong special hosted by Chris Hardwick will also feature a sequel to the 2003 film “Love Actually” called “Red Nose Day Actually” that reunites most of the original cast.

The Red Nose Day fundraising effort is a relative newcomer in the U.S. but started in the U.K. more than 30 years ago. The American effort has raised $60 million over the past two years for children’s causes worldwide.

Zoo home to April the giraffe and baby opening Monday

HARPURSVILLE, N.Y. – People hoping to get an up-close look at April the giraffe’s baby born at an upstate New York zoo before a live stream audience will have to wait a little longer.

Animal Adventure Park originally planned to open for the season this weekend, but delayed the date until Monday because of cool and rainy conditions in the forecast.

April gave birth to a male calf on April 15.

Her pregnancy was the second most liveviewed channel in YouTube’s history, with more than 232 million live views during a seven-week period.

The calf was named Tajiri, a Swahili word that means hope.

The privately owned zoo is located in rural Harpursville, 130 miles northwest of New York City. It is bracing for a flood of visitors.

Spinner distraction

Kids love fidgets. But do they cause more problems than they solve?

By ERIN SILVER

The Washington Post Melissa Ferry is a big believer in the benefits of allowing students to use fidget toys in the classroom.

She points to research indicating that playing with fidget toys – little gadgets, cubes, putties and spinners – is effective in improving concentration and focus in students with ADHD. She also has seven years’ worth of anecdotal evidence that shows how beneficial they can be for some children.

“If we see students are unfocused, getting up to use the washroom, sharpening their pencil frequently or causing a disturbance, they might need a sensory tool to help them focus,” said Ferry, a special-education teacher at Ganiard Elementary School in Mount Pleasant, Michigan, who also writes for The Friendship Circle, a blog geared toward the special-education community. “There are lots of adaptive learning tools; just like some kids need glasses, others need fidgets.”

She maintains a wide selection for her students to choose from, and she also helps them make stress balls filled with sand, oatmeal or flour.

Ferry points to one case study involving a sixth-grade classroom in Georgia, in which students who were given stress balls increased their average scores on a writing assessment from 73 percent to 83 percent; those with a medical diagnosis of ADHD improved their results by 27 percent.

Her pro-fidget toy stance is a good thing for her students, now that the gadgets are all the rage among kids.

Cathy Siegel, owner of Party Rock, a small party supply store in Toronto, said she began stocking the toys in February and now she can’t keep them on her shelves.

“It’s craziness,” she said. “This weekend we sold over 200 spinners alone.”

While some shoppers are buying fidgets to help manage ADHD symptoms, Siegel said most customers buy them from her store because they don’t want to be the only one without the popular toy.

“Once one kid bought one, everyone wanted one. It’s a trend,” she said.

They are so popular that some teachers have banned them in the classroom.

Some schools in Manchester, England, made headlines recently when they

Fidget success Experts say fidgets can be successfully incorporated in classrooms, with the following rules to minimize disruptions to learning: • Don’t toss, stretch or chew fidgets; • If you’re not using it, leave your fidget on the table or keep it in your desk; • When you need it, use it in your lap so others don’t see you playing with it; • Teachers should explain that fidgets are a learning tool, not a toy, so students understand the purpose they’re serving; • Parents can talk to their kids about how and why fidgets are used in school and at home, to reinforce these guidelines.

Some research indicates playing with fidget toys – little gadgets, cubes, putties and tally, this doesn’t even come close to spinners – is effective in improving concentration and focus in students with ADHD. the amount of movement kids need in announced a fidget toy ban via text message, enraging parents of special-needs students in the process.

“At first I thought it was brilliant that other kids had them because he wouldn’t have to answer any questions or feel awkward using it,” one mom told the Manchester Evening News, “but now that they’re being banned in schools, it means he will have to lose an aid that is extremely beneficial to him.”

Seventh-grade science teacher Cory Sicard recently banned them in his class at Sierra Middle School in Parker, Colorado, and said many of his colleagues are doing the same.

“The need for these spinners stemmed from a desire to control the symptoms of ADHD,” Sicard said. “Unfortunately the spinners can also take children’s attention away from what they are seeing and hearing. Plus, the spinning and movement serves as a distraction to other students in the room.”

And theft became an issue.

“Now that kids can’t pull them out in class, there’s less incentive for others to steal them,” Sicard said. “Out of sight, out of mind, which is how most of the kids feel toward them now.”

Sicard said parents at his school were understanding. Even students were supportive.

“Most kids will pull out a fidget

spinner in class and are easily distracted by it, also distracting other students around them,” wrote Jade Miracle in the school’s student-run newspaper, the Sierra Summit Online. “Students can also forget these items in the classroom if they leave in a rush, putty will most likely end up on a floor, or stuck to a computer, fidget cubes or spinners can be forgotten under or on desks then found and taken by another student.”

Despite such support, outright bans on fidgets concern experts such as Claire Heffron. A pediatric occupational therapist in Cleveland, Heffron said the whole discussion needs to be reframed.

“These little gadgets should be called fidget tools, not toys, and they can be part of a successful strategy for managing fidgety behavior if they are introduced as a normal part of the classroom culture,” she said.

Heffron said there needed to be rules about when and how fidgets can be used if they are to be part of an effective learning strategy, rather than a distraction. Fidgets also should be part of a much larger discussion, she said, about managing behavior in classrooms and what the school day looks like for children.

“Kids spend a lot of time sitting in class, and recesses are shorter than ever at 15 or 20 minutes. Developmen-

a day,” said Heffron, co-author of the child-development blog The Inspired Treehouse and author of the book “Sensory Processing 101.”

Heffron said students also are feeling increased pressure over standardized testing, which, combined with the decreased movement, results in an overflow of problem behavior in school.

“We need to come up with strategies to meet it,” she said. “Fidget tools are a profound piece of the discussion, but they are just the tip of the iceberg.”

Julie Schweitzer, a clinical psychologist at the MIND Institute at the University of California at Davis, has been studying ADHD for 25 years. Her 2015 study, published in the journal Child Neuropsychology, measured the impact of fidgeting on cognition among a group of children ages 10 to 17. Her work revealed that students with ADHD performed better on a computerized attention test the more intensely they fidgeted. Meanwhile, typical children did not improve their test score with fidgeting. While her test results were interesting, she can’t endorse fidget toys yet.

She points out people have been fidgeting for years (think of the Rubik’s Cube) and that chewing gum or tapping your foot might be less disruptive but just as effective in satisfying a need to fidget.

Stay calm, curious and nonreactive.

“The best research about lying shows that it’s not about the lying, it’s how you respond to the truth,” Merryman said. “Kids are testing you. If you freak out because they didn’t do well on their quiz, you are never going to know why there is a dent in a car.” She notes children will pull away or omit more information if they sense telling the truth will invite drama or disappoint their parents.

• Help them take the long view.

Lying often is about short-term gratification, and parents need to help teens understand how it hampers their longer-term goals, Silverman said.

Maybe they want their parents to stop bugging them about their schoolwork, or to give them a later curfew, or to stop monitoring their texts. Parents can underscore that trust is the key to increased independence and privacy.

Teens also are hypersensitive to rejection, Merryman said, explaining they live their lives in front of an invisible audience, and they think everyone is watching and judging them.

Parents can use that to their advantage by pointing out if their friends catch on, the situation will become 10

Teens lie for a number of reasons – to avoid judgment, establish a connection, protect someone or cope with frustration or fear – but the vast majority are lies of omission, Merryman said. “A child may ask if he can go to Sue’s house to study, but then not mention that there will be 100 other people there partying.” To mount an effective response, parents need to identify and address the motivation.

• Model honesty. Whenever parents can demonstrate they are doing something honest, Meyer recommends they say it out loud. “I may say, ‘I would love to take a U-turn here because we’re really late, but it’s against the rules.’ ” She talks to her daughter about how good it feels to choose the hard way to get something done instead of taking a shortcut.

Teens also take note when their parents don’t keep their word, or punish them when they promised not to penalize them for telling the truth.

My friend Jess stopped in her tracks outside her daughter’s bedroom door.

Anna was on the phone, telling her eighth-grade classmate Julia she had spent the day with her boyfriend. Jess knew Anna had been with her, sorting through outgrown clothes and watching reruns of “Modern Family.”

As she listened, she learned Anna’s “boyfriend” Evan was a soccer goalie, attended private school in Atlanta and was in town for a family wedding.

Jess called me hoping that, as a school counselor, I could reassure her Anna wasn’t a pathological liar.

“She’s so convincing,” Jess told me.

“The details are really specific.”

She had no idea what to do next, and she felt like she had failed as a parent.

Parents often ask me how to handle kids’ lies. What should they do if their son claims his homework is completed when he hasn’t even turned on his computer? How should they respond when their daughter falsely denies cutting math class or sending derogatory texts to a friend?

Lying is a complicated developmental milestone. Children must be able to sell a false reality and then recall the

details of their lie.

“It’s a really big day when children realize they can get away with it, and it changes their self-image,” said Ashley Merryman, co-author of “NurtureShock: New Thinking About Children.” By middle school, children are attuned to the subtle nuances of deception.

“It really pushes parents’ buttons when children lie,” said Mary Alice Silverman, a clinical psychologist in Washington. She advises parents to address their own anxiety first so they can rationally determine the reasons behind the dishonesty. Their kids may be trying to escape academic or family stress, or looking for a way to cope with insecurity about their social status.

Everyone twists the truth at times to protect someone’s feelings or to get out of an awkward social situation, said Pamela Meyer, the author of “LieSpotting” and presenter of the TED talk “How to Spot a Liar.” “We would kill each other if we were honest all the time.”

Lying is not always a clear-cut matter of right and wrong, and parents need to convey that complexity if they want to promote a culture of honesty.

No matter the acidity, plain water the best drink choice

Dear Doctor: We’ve lived in our house for years – and raised three boys on well water.

All have been reasonably healthy. But I recently learned the well water’s pH is 8.5plus. Should we be concerned?

Dear Reader: The pH of water can range from acidic to basic on a scale of 1 to 14, with the pH of pure water at about 7. A pH less than 7 makes the water more acidic, while one greater than 7 makes water more alkaline (basic). The danger of more acidic water – when the pH is less than 6.5 – is it can leach metals from the well and from the pipes that bring you water. These metals include lead, manganese, copper and iron, and they can be toxic in large amounts. So acidic water obviously poses a health risk.

Fortunately, the same is not true of more alkaline water.

There has been no evidence of harm found in drinking water with a pH between 7 and 8.5. (Interesting to note: The pH of human blood is a little on the basic side, 7.365.) When the pH of water becomes greater than 8.5, it can taste more bitter.

This elevated pH also can lead to calcium and magnesium carbonate building up in your pipes. While this higher pH doesn’t pose any health risks, it can cause skin to become dry, itchy and irritated. So, if you or your children are having any skin issues, the pH of your well water could be a reason.

Many companies have advertised the benefits of alkaline water – that is, waters with pH levels greater than 8.5. People who sell such products say alkaline water has benefits in lowering blood sugar, improving

gut health and improving the hydration of extreme athletes. None of this has been well-studied in humans. In addition, our kidneys are the best filtration system in maintaining the acid-base status within our bodies.

Because I can be somewhat obsessive about things, I support knowing the pH of one’s well water, more to protect against excessive acidity than high alkalinity. For people with water pH less than 6.5, I would look at ways to make it more basic. Those with water pH between 6.5 and 8.5 can rest more easily. Even if it is greater than 8.5, the water still probably is safe, but you may want to acidify the water if you are noticing skin problems.

Lastly, whether bottled or from your own well, water still is the best drink choice. We live in a society where the consumption of water is intertwined with the use of sweeteners. This is seen not only in the plethora of sodas we consume, but also in the number of juices, energy drinks, flavored waters and other drinks with chemical sweeteners.

Slightly high pH or not, plain water is the healthiest drink you can choose.

DEAR ABBY When I was in my 20s I chose Jeanne a career whose Phillips long-term effects I hadn’t anticipated. I am charged with telling people they are dying and watching them die on a daily basis. While I know I am good at it, it leaves me emotionally drained.

I manage to muster up enough energy to try to be there for my kids but, frankly, I can’t seem to be there for anyone else, including my wife, co-workers and close family. My problem is, this has left me with no emotional support (my children are too young for that, although playing with them is some help) and there are tough days when I really need it.

Advice? – Alone From My Work Dear Alone: You need a support group.

Many people in the medical field find them to be a helpful outlet. Rather than blame yourself for your inability to “be there” for your co-workers and family, joining a group might help you to relieve some of the stress you are experiencing by talking about it. If you do, I’m sure you will find you are far from alone.

Dear Abby: I’ve been dating a guy for two years. He has his late mom’s wedding rings.

He always said he would use them if he ever proposed to anyone. Well, he proposed to me last week. Last night he informed me he had let his ex-girlfriend of 10 years wear the rings because she loved jewelry. It made me sick to my stomach, and made his proposal not mean anything to me. I told him it would be like me giving him my ex-husband’s wedding band to wear. He doesn’t understand because he didn’t propose to her, but to me that’s beside the point.

They were on her hand. I told him he should have given me the option of wearing the rings or having him buy my own set. Am I out of line feeling the way I do? – Tarnished In Tennessee Dear Tarnished: I don’t think so. To say this “guy” lacks sensitivity would be an understatement. Are you sure you actually want to spend the rest of your life with someone so clueless?

When he allowed his ex-girlfriend to wear his mother’s wedding rings “because she loved jewelry” rather than because they were planning to marry, the symbolism of bestowing them vaporized. If you do plan to go through with it, “suggest” he buy you ones or use the stones from his mother’s rings in a different setting for a ring you will enjoy wearing rather than feeling like Secondhand Rose (third-hand, actually).

Dear Abby: My son is graduating this year.

To celebrate, I would like to have dinner at a restaurant with a group of friends (adults) and their children. However, I’d like them to pay for their own meals. How do I address an invitation to such a get-together? – Not A Free Dinner Dear Not A Free Dinner: You could put on the invitation this will be a “no host” celebration.

Or, rather than issue a formal written invitation, simply call your friends and describe what you have in mind.

ORTHODONTIC CHAIRSIDE ASSISTANT

***THE BOAT DOCK*** We Buy & Consign Used Boats!

Springfield, Illinois 217-793-7300 www.theboatdock.com ***THE BOAT DOCK***

Email resume: tvlplu@aol.com

We want an amazing Orthodontic Chairside Assistant!

Dan Quayle said, “We are ready for any unforeseen event that may or may not occur.”

At the bridge table, unforeseen events happen. Look at the North hand in the diagram. Your partner opens two clubs, and the next player overcalls two diamonds. What would you do?

Despite the anticipation that, because of the prevailing vulnerability, East will not carry the auction to a high level, it looks like a good opportunity to bid two spades. How bad can it be to get your six-card suit into the auction?

Well, on this deal from Bridge Base Online, it resulted in North’s ending in six spades. At three tables, the clever East led the heart queen.

West ruffed and cashed the club ace.

At two other tables, North made the slam after a diamond lead by reading the distribution perfectly. Do you see how?

Some Norths passed to let partner describe his hand. When South rebid two no-trump, North transferred into spades, then control-bid four diamonds. This resulted in six spades by South at three tables. Each West led the club ace, giving declarer an easy ride.

After a diamond lead, however, declarer must endplay West in clubs.

Declarer discards a heart and wins with the diamond ace. He draws trumps, throws another heart on the diamond king, ruffs a diamond, cashes the heart ace, crosses to the heart king and ruffs the last diamond. Then he plays a club to his king. West wins with the ace and is endplayed. If he returns a low club, declarer runs it to the 10. Or, if West leads a diamond, it concedes a ruff-and-sluff.

We are looking for a highly-motivated team player with great chairside hand skills, excellent customer service, and experience in the dental field. If you are fun, enthusiastic, and enjoy challenges we want to meet you.

This is a full-time position with competitive wages and benefits.

Marengo’s Schirmer earns 3 victories Burlington Central wins team championship

By JOE STEVENSON

joestevenson@shawmedia.com HARVARD – Marengo freshman Finn Schirmer has a way of making demanding physical tests seem almost mundane.

As expected, Schirmer swept the 110-meter high and 300 intermediate hurdles at the Kishwaukee River Conference Boys Track and Field Meet on Thursday at Dan Horne Field.

As if that were not impressive enough, Schirmer jogged back after the 110 highs, and with barely enough time to catch his breath, won the 100 meters.

“I could breathe, but my legs were still a little tired,” Schirmer said. “I just had to suck it up and go as hard as I could. My coaches wanted to see what I could do and get the most points out of this meet. I really wanted to run the 100.”

Schirmer was the only triple individual winner at the first KRC Meet and should have three more years to add more titles.

Burlington Central won the team title with 1281/2, with Richmond-Burton (106) and Woodstock North (103) next in line.

R-B had only one conference champion – junior Nick DeGroot won the 800 – but the juggling the Rockets did with their lineup paid off when they took second.

DeGroot and teammate John Kellum went 1-2 in the 800, then Kellum came back and took second in the 400.

“I was dead for the 400 and scratched,” DeGroot said. “But the 800 was great. I PR’d (a personal best) by three seconds. (Burlington Central’s Josh) Teets was supposed to win, and John and I tag-teamed it really well.

(Kellum) took off with a lap left, and with about 200 left I caught him. We both wanted to get (state-qualifying) time, and we did.”

Reed Marshall took seconds in the long and triple jumps for R-B, and Mike Kaufman was second in the 100 and 200.

Woodstock’s Will Maidment won the high jump with a personal-best effort of 6 feet, 7 inches.

He also won the triple jump at 41-9 on his final attempt.

“I was feeling really good,” Maidment said. “My jumping was good, my approach was good, and my legs just felt really good, so it all kind of came together today.”

Woodstock North got wins from Brad Kohler (200), Josh Powell (shot put) and Carlos Tapia (pole vault).

Kohler also anchored the Thunder’s winning 4x200 relay with Casey Dycus, Billy Wellwerts and Branden Waldack. “(The 200) went well. It all starts with preparation and the mindset,” Kohler said. “You put everything it takes to running a race before the race.

(North) Coach (John Fredericks) always tells me the 200’s my race even though I love the 100. He tells me that’s my strength.”

Woodstock’s Spencer Hanson (1,600), Johnsburg’s Tim Bertulis (3,200) and Harvard’s John Powell (discus) were the other local winners.

Bertulis finally beat his friend and rival, R-B’s Ryan Hommowun, but felt the win was somewhat bittersweet.

Hommowun has been battling soreness in his hips.

“I feel bad for him because he was right there,” Bertulis said. “I love racing against him, it’s always great. We always push each other; we’ve always been so close. I wanted to beat him, but I don’t want to beat him in that way. I want a fair race, and I want the best for him, too.”

GIRLS TRACK AND FIELD: ANTIOCH SECTIONAL

By ALEX KANTECKI

Cary-Grove’s Paige Groves and Tabor Gleason each qualified for the IHSA state track and field finals in two events at Thursday’s IHSA Class 3A Bartlett Sectional.

Groves finished second in the shot put (39 feet, 11 inches) and second in the discus (123-6). Gleason won the triple jump (36-10) and finished second in the high jump (5-5).

As a team, Cary-Grove finished second with 68 points, behind first-place West Aurora (146.33).

Dundee-Crown finished 13th with nine points. The Chargers’ Tarrah Kamp finished third in the discus (115-0) – Northwest Herald. left after the Fully Automatic Timing system stopped working. Vogt came back Thursday and was fourth in the 200 (25.82), and also was on the 800 relay team (1:43.29) that finished third and beat the qualifying time.

Both state qualifying relays for McHenry ran with the same foursome: Vogt, Janessa Kruse, Jamie

through me.”

Huntley also qualified in the 4x200 relay, placing second with a time of 1:43.03. That team ran with Cassidy Lackovic, Alex Handchetz, Taryn Sargent and Sabrina Krog.

Crystal Lake South sent two the state meet Thursday. Caitlin Bruzzini is going in the 1,600 (5:01.78), and senior Cailey Ciezadlo is going in the 200 (25.92) to make her first state berth.

“I just went out hard, tried my best, and glad I got the results,” Ciezadlo said. “I was nervous but ready to go. ... My strategy was to start strong. I worked a lot on blocks. I just wanted to hold on and finish even stronger.

It’s insane getting to state. I can’t believe it.”

Bruzzini said the break between Wednesday and Thursday helped.

She was one of four runners to run 5:01 in the 1,600. The state qualifying mark is 5:10.01.

“My coach was running back and forth, and just telling me my 200 splits,” Bruzzini said. “He was telling me if I needed to speed up because I wanted to make sure I’d do good on time. ... I really wanted this race. I’ve wanted it since my sophomore year for the mile, so I’m super excited.”

PREP WRESTLING

Texas bill could deny transgender wrestler title defense

By JIM VERTUNO

The Associated Press AUSTIN, Texas – When transgender wrestler Mack Beggs won a girls’ state championship, his victory drew jeers and complaints that his steroid therapy treatment had given him an unfair advantage against girls who risked injury just by getting on the mat with him.

Now Texas lawmakers are pushing a bill that could ultimately deny Beggs, a Dallas-area junior, a chance to defend his title next year.

The proposal working its way through the Legislature would require transgender students such as Beggs to turn over their medical information to the University Interscholastic League, the state’s governing body for public high school sports. The UIL would be allowed to disqualify an athlete undergoing hormone therapy if “the safety of competing students or the fairness of a particular competition has been or will be substantially affected by the student’s steroid use.”

Beggs’ case drew national attention in February when he won the state championship in Class 6A, the classification for the state’s largest schools.

Before he got that far, the father of a girl who had wrestled against Beggs filed a lawsuit trying to get him disqualified.

His title-winning match earned him a bloody nose on the mat and boos from a crowd upset by his victory. He has a 56-0 record and wants to wrestle next season in his senior year.

The UIL prohibits steroids use, but Texas has a “safe harbor” provision that allows transgender students undergoing hormone therapy treatments under the direction of a doctor to compete.

Texas also requires transgender athletes to compete in the gender listed on their birth certificate. For Beggs, that meant he had to wrestle against girls against his wishes, and the proposed bill would not change that rule.

Beggs family spokesman Alan Baxter said the family has a good relationship with the UIL and questioned why

lawmakers are pursuing the change.

“I would hope they are not singling him out,” Baxter said, noting that a now-defunded UIL program that tested more than 63,000 athletes caught just a handful of cheaters before it was scuttled in 2015. “If politicians are truly concerned with safety, they should test everyone.”

Under NCAA rules, athletes transitioning from female to male are allowed to compete on men’s teams while taking testosterone but can’t compete on women’s teams.

USA Wrestling in March adopted a rule that would require Beggs to wrestle as a male in their events. Beggs planned to compete in USA Wrestling events this spring, but he would return to the girls’ side of competition in Texas if the rules don’t change. Texas is one of seven states that require high school students to provide a birth certificate, proof of gender-reassignment surgery or documentation of hormone therapy, according to TransAthlete.com.

UIL officials say killing the testing

program limited their ability to police steroid use in competition. Beggs’ case is one they simply hadn’t imagined 10 years ago, said Leo Barnes, the UIL’s director of policy and compliance.

“The fairness and safety and competition issue that has been raised is one we think we need to have the authority to look at,” Barnes told lawmakers in a Senate hearing on the bill last month.

State Sen. Bob Hall, a Republican from Edgewood, said his bill isn’t aimed at disqualifying transgender students, but to give the UIL a tool in combating steroid use.

“This is for fairness and safety of the students,” said Hall, who filed the bill two weeks after Beggs won his state title.

State Sen. Sylvia Garcia, a Houston Democrat, was skeptical of that explanation.

“Isn’t the real intent of your bill to ban students who are undergoing steroid or other hormone treatment?” she asked. “On its face it seems to have everything to do with (Beggs).”

ANTIOCH – McHenry girls track and field coach Kyle Owens will have to dig through the school record books to find out the last time anyone accomplished what freshman Holly Vogt pulled off at Thursday’s Class 3A Antioch Sectional.

Competing in her first sectional meet, Vogt qualified for next week’s state meet at Eastern Illinois University in four different events: the 4x100-meter relay, 4x200 relay, 200 and long jump.

“We were just talking earlier,” Owens said. “We don’t know the last time that anybody has done it in school history. If I look back, maybe there’s a girl or two from 2004. This is my ninth year, and I don’t think we’ve had anybody go down in three.

Very impressive, especially out of a freshman.”

Vogt jumped 17 feet, 71/2 inches to win the long jump Wednesday, beating her Fox Valley Conference Meet jump by nearly a foot (16-83/4). She also was on the 400 relay (49.33) that placed third and advanced to state.

The meet was suspended on Wednesday with five running events

Cary-Grove’s Gleason, Groves qualify for state finals

Howie and Jenna Pauly.

Belvidere North won the 15-team sectional with 94 points, followed by DeKalb (84) and Huntley (74).

McHenry (27.33) finished sixth, Prairie Ridge (24.33) was eighth, Crystal Lake South (19) tied for ninth, Crystal Lake Central (16.33) was 12th, Jacobs (11.33) was 14th and Hampshire (7) placed 15th.

“For the relays, I definitely knew we had a very good chance,” Vogt said. “For the long jump, I’ve jumped state qualifying before this meet, so I knew I had it in me. And for the 200, I ran my best by almost half a second today.

Also on Thursday, Huntley’s Tyra Miller advanced to state in the 300 hurdles (46.71), placing second to DeKalb’s Brianna Barwick (46.19). On Wednesday, she made it to state in the 100 high hurdles, as well.

“I just wanted to qualify,” Miller said. “It’s only my fourth time running (the 300), so it’s relatively new to me. I just wanted to run my best. I PR’d by a couple of seconds, so it was really exciting. Halfway around the turn, I felt, like, a whole power come

Rockets’ Jake Rosing is healing Pitcher will not return for the upcoming postseason

By JOE STEVENSON

joestevenson@shawmedia.com The cast has been removed from Jake Rosing’s right hand and he expects to start tossing baseballs again soon, although it will not be in time to help Richmond-Burton this postseason.

Rosing, a junior right-hander committed to Louisville, suffered a broken right index finger on the Rockets’ trip home from Tennessee to start the season.

He was playing a video game on his phone against a teammate and hit a seat with his right hand, which resulted in a fracture in the finger.

The Rockets (13-12 overall, 8-7 Kishwaukee River Conference) have sorely missed their ace, who was 7-3 with an ERA of 0.61 last season when he earned Northwest Herald All-Area first-team honors. He pitched 572/3 innings, striking out 88 and walking only 16.

“It’s a humbling experience,” Rosing said. “I miss [baseball] a lot. I can’t wait to get back. I’m working to get back quicker (for the summer season).

Next season I’m going to show (R-B coach Mike) Giese that I’ve been working a lot because I couldn’t be playing this year to make up for it.”

Rosing burst upon the high school scene two years ago as the Rockets’ ace.

He committed to Louisville before his sophomore high school season started.

“We’re just missing another gear,” Giese said. “We went down to Tennessee, and as soon as the lights came on, he goes to a different place. His one game that he pitched was lights out. He threw a 3-0 shutout against a Tennessee team and their coach is a legendary coach. He said, ‘He is exceptionally good.’ ” Rosing saID he was not mad when he swung his hand after losing the video game.

“It was being over-competitive,” he

said. “It’s not like I did it out of anger.

It wasn’t that hard, it was just the angle. I didn’t really notice it until 10 minutes later.”

A first doctor thought it was bruised, but a specialist found the small fracture around the knuckle. Rosing was assured the bone should heal and pose no further problems.

Giese said Rosing left the team to work this spring since he could not play. Giese and Rosing both agreed he will be back with the Rockets next spring.

“We had conflicting opinions about that, and he chose to go to work,” Giese said. “He’s going to come back next year, there’s no doubt. It’s in Jake’s best interest to get healed up correctly and try to prepare to have a good summer.”

Rosing will pitch with a Top Tier 17U team coached by Glen Hoffmann.

That team also has Huntley’s Nick Laxner and Tyler Koss, and Crystal Lake

Central’s Camden Nisenson.

“It’s not a bad injury,” Rosing said.

“The doctor said I’d do a week or so of therapy, like strengthening. I’ll start throwing a little bit this week and in a month be close to 100 percent.”

INSIDE SOFTBALL ATHLETE OF THE WEEK ELLIE THUROW Woodstock North, so., P Thurow was 3-0 last week, striking out 36 batters in three, seven-inning complete games against Johnsburg, Richmond-Burton and Woodstock. She whiffed 10 batters against Johnsburg, 11 against R-B, and 15 against Woodstock.

He will accept head coaching job at Fenton

Marengo head coach Matt Lynch is stepping down to take over the head coaching position at Fenton High School.

“This is a difficult decision,” Lynch said .”Every day at Marengo I get to work with some absolutely wonderful people. Over the past 10 years we’ve built relationships and we have such a supportive environment. We get to work with great kids.”

Lynch follows former Fen-

ton coach Mark Kos who was 31-35 in seven seasons with three playoff appearances. He previously worked as an assistant coach at Fenton from 2001 to 2003.

Lynch will teach driver education and special education at Fenton, along with his coaching duties. He teaches

to get better and compete.

It wasn’t just the semifinal team, it was the guys in 2007, in 2008, they did a lot of this in laying groundwork and foundation, and they always need to be credited. It’s all about the players.”

That Marengo semifinal team was 12-1 and won the Big Northern Conference East Division title, and tied for the second-most wins in school history.

“When you know somebody’s putting in the day-in, day-out effort that we see, it’s always great to see the reward in wins and losses,” Olson said. “He was the same man doing the same things when it was in his third year and we were struggling. He held his convictions and stayed true to himself. He treats them as adults and shows them responsibility and what it means to be a respectable human and a good citizen, as well as being a good football player.”

Matt Lynch made one of the easiest decisions of his life 10 years ago when he took over as head football coach at Marengo.

On May 5, Lynch told his players about one of his toughest decisions, that he was leaving Marengo to become the head coach at Fenton High School in Bensenville.

Lynch’s record at Marengo, 33-62 in 10 seasons, was only part of the story. The Indians were 22-10 in his last three seasons, with one Class 4A playoffs semifinal appearance and he struck a lasting bond with many of his players.

special education at Marengo.

“I can always appreciate why he’s moving on...”

Marengo athletic director Chad Olson said. “That’s the way coaches are wired; they want a new challenge and a new adventure.”

Olson is going through the process of posting the position. He said the players will follow the workout plans Lynch had in place, with help of the assistant coaches, until a replacement is hired.

Lynch’s teams only won 11 games in his first seven seasons, but the 2014 team went 5-4 and almost made the playoffs. The next year, the Indians were knocked out in the semifinals against Chicago Phillips, which won the state championship.

“That’s all about the players,” Lynch said. “I mean, it was a difficult situation at the beginning, everybody knows that. But not one time did a player complain or talk about ‘Woe is me.’ They showed up

Home State Bank offers financial assistance loans to small businesses SPONSORED BY

By Denise Freese Small businesses may experience a variety of challenges, including faster-than-expected growth, slow-paying customers, new equipment requirements, and rising rental costs. Even just one of these challenges can cause a small business to suffer a cash flow shortage, which may put the business in the position of needing financial assistance to get through a tough time.

Home State Bank offers a variety of financing options to help small businesses meet their cash flow needs. “We provide support to many businesses in McHenry County,” said Krishin Thadani, Small Business Loan Officer with Home State Bank. “Funds can be used in a variety of ways, including refinancing existing business debt, renovating an existing building, or purchasing inventory. Loans can also be used for purchasing equipment, machinery, supplies, and materials.”

A small business may be looking to expand, or to purchase real estate to construct a new building.

“We also provide lines of credit for short-term capital for seasonal financing and construction financing,” added Thadani.

Home State Bank has been McHenry County’s #1 Business Lender, in terms of dollars loaned out, for the past six years, according to the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council. HSB is able to leverage the Small Business Administration’s (SBA) lending programs in order to better meet the needs of the local business community. SBA loans typically offer longer terms, higher loan-to-value ratios, greater approval rates, and fixed interest rates.

“My focus is small business lending,” said Thadani. “I’ll sit with any member of the community to discuss how cash shortages can be met with Home State Bank’s lending programs. With my SBA loan expertise, we can work together to find a solution for your cash flow requirements.” For more information, please contact:

sa, Artem Anisimov, Ryan Hartman and one other to be determined. The other protection option – four forwards and four defensemen – would allow them to protect van Riemsdyk, but almost surely would cost them either Hartman or Panik, so it’s largely out of the question.

Regardless, the Hawks needed to bring back Panik. Many of Bowman’s trades in the past couple of seasons ha-

ven’t worked out, from Andrew Ladd to Dale Weise to Johnny Oduya. But one of his shrewdest moves was flipping unwanted minor-leaguer Jeremy Morin to Toronto for Panik, an unwanted minor-leaguer in Toronto.

Panik quickly blossomed into a topline winger, the power forward the Hawks have been missing since Bryan Bickell’s heyday.

By re-signing Richard Panik to a two-year contract extension Thursday, Blackhawks general manager Stan Bowman ensured that Jonathan Toews will have a productive, reliable and physical power forward to play with for the next two seasons.

But Bowman also made his quest to retool and reshape the Hawks roster in the wake of a first-round sweep that much more challenging.

Panik will make $2.8 million in each of the next two seasons – a hefty raise from the $875,000 he made this past season. A big bump in pay was inevitable coming off a breakout 22-goal season, and the restricted free agent maybe could have gotten even more on the open market. But Panik, who said throughout the season that he very much wanted to stay in Chicago, made it sound as if the Hawks were bidding against themselves, and maybe could have gotten him for less.

“I was waiting for the first offer to come in, and the first offer they gave me surprised me,” Panik said. “There

wasn’t much thinking involved. I was really happy to get the first offer [because] it was a good one.”

Panik’s raise was well-deserved, but every dollar spent complicates the Hawks roster situation. The Hawks have more than $65 million tied up in only 11 players. The number reaches about $71.5 million for 20 players, assuming young players such as Vinnie Hinostroza, John Hayden and Gustav Forsling make the team. And that doesn’t include nearly $3.6 million in overages that will count against next year’s cap, an expected extension for Michal Kempny, and possible deals for Dennis Rasmussen, Tomas Jurco and a new backup goaltender.

The salary cap is expected to be about $75 million to $76 million next season (the official number will come in June), so the Hawks still have some significant maneuvering to do. They’ll rid themselves of one contract in the expansion draft next month, likely either center Marcus Kruger ($3.083 million) or defenseman Trevor van Riemsdyk ($825,000).

Panik almost certainly will be among the seven forwards the Hawks protect from the Vegas Golden Knights, along with Patrick Kane, Toews, Marian Hos-

Canadian rookie tied for lead at Players

By DOUG FERGUSON The Associated Press

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. – Mackenzie Hughes arrived at the TPC Sawgrass with no scar tissue and played his first round at The Players Championship with no bogeys.

Pretty simple, eh?

The Canadian rookie shook his head and laughed. Even after going bogey-free in his debut Thursday for a 5-under-par 67 to share the lead with William McGirt, Hughes saw enough of the Players Stadium Course to realize that surprises lurk around every corner.

“There’s just not really a moment where you can let up,” Hughes said.

No need explaining that to Adam Scott, who won The Players in 2004 and was off to a strong start on a steamy afternoon when he was 6 under and heading to the infamous par-3 17th with its island green.

First, he watched Masters champion Sergio Garcia hit a gap wedge that took one big hop, land just behind the cup and disappear for a hole-in-one. Scott followed by spinning a shot off the bank and into the water for a double bogey, and he compounded that with another

Sergio Garcia (right) is congratulated on the 17th tee after hitting a hole-in-one during the first round of The Players Championship on Thursday in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla. double bogey.

“I played some good golf out there and unfortunately not on the last two,” Scott said after settling for a 70. “It happens.”

At least he had company.

Dustin Johnson’s first wedge of the day hit the pin, caromed off the green and led to bogey. On a day when nothing seemed to go his way, the world’s No. 1

player opened with a 71. Rory McIlroy went to tap in from 2 feet and missed it, and then had to make one twice that long for his double bogey on the 10th hole. He shot 73.

Through it all, Hughes was rock solid. Only twice did he have par putts longer than 3 feet, and he made them both.

First, create a packing list in order to eliminate the panic of last second packing. It can also serve as a helpful guide for repacking at the end of the trip. Once your list is made, resist the urge to add non-essentials.

Lay out all the items you intend to take and reexamine your list. Are there any clothing items you can return to the closet?

Clothing will obviously take up the most space so choose carefully. When planning your wardrobe, consider the events you will participate in both day

Remember: you can travel light if you pack right.

nal hole when trees blocked his way to the green. To chip out sideways would risk chipping into the water. He found a 4-foot-wide window in which he had to keep it under one branch and go over two more. It was a large enough gap and the perfect shot for a 6-iron.

“I was close enough to the trees. It paid off,” said Hughes, who already has won (Sea Island) in his rookie season on the PGA Tour.

McGirt played in morning and made a pair of eagles on the back nine to atone in his round of 67.

Among those at 68 was Jon Rahm, another first-timer at this lucrative event who had one of four bogey-free rounds on the steamy day in north Florida. Even with a mild wind in the afternoon, just more than a third of the field broke par.

Fast starts and bad finishes were the norm, and not just for Scott.

Defending champion Jason Day ran off two straight birdies after making the turn and was in the lead at 5 under, which for the former world No. 1 was a peculiar position. He hasn’t won since The Players last year.

Day, however, made three bogeys over his last four holes and had to settle for a 70.

WHITE SOX NOTES

Theo: Don’t bet on Cubs, Sox being trade partners

By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN

dvanschouwen@suntimes.com

General manager Rick Hahn said he’s not opposed to making a trade with the Cubs, and because the subject came up yet again when Hahn talked to media Tuesday, Cubs president Theo Epstein was asked for his viewpoint Thursday on the “Mully and Hanley Show” on 670-AM. Epstein said he and Hahn did talk about Chris Sale before the Sox traded their five-time All-Star to the Red Sox for four prospects in December. But not for long.

“Rick and I have talked about players he’s had that have gone on to be traded,” Epstein said. “We had a really quick conversation about Sale. It lasted about 30 seconds based on one of

the names that were involved that he would want, and not prospects, but our very best big league players which, of course, was natural to ask for. He made a great trade.”

With the Cubs facing a possible need to spruce up their starting pitching and the Sox in rebuild mode and having Jose Quintana – as well as Derek Holland and Miguel Gonzalez, who are off to good starts – the crosstown rivals could be viewed as a good match.

But Epstein said don’t bet on it.

“This has been an overblown media story,” Epstein said. “The teams are always going to talk, but it’s really unlikely to go anywhere from his standpoint or from our standpoint. There’s no ill will or animosity, it’s just the reality of the situation.

CHICAGO – The White Sox disabled list runs deep – starters Carlos Rodon and James Shields and relievers Nate Jones, Jake Petricka and Zach Putnam all are on it – but somehow manager Rick Renteria’s team has managed to play at or near a .500 clip into the first two weeks of May. “A testament to those guys out there,” Renteria said before the Sox lost, 7-6, to the Twins on Thursday night at Guaranteed Rate Field. “The coaching staff does a great job with them, but you’ve got to give those guys credit because they’re the ones that go out on the hill and are in the fire and doing what they do.’’

Because healthy starters such as Derek Holland (2.43 ERA), who gave up seven runs Thursday – but only three earned because of an error on a routine play for first baseman Jose Abreu – and Miguel Gonzalez (3-2, 3.18 ERA), who faces the Padres in the first game of a weekend series Friday, the Sox rotation has treaded water despite Jose Quintana (25, 4.46) laboring through a murky start

10 CUBS ANALYSIS

Who’s hot, not in the NL Central

By BRUCE MILES

The one saving grace for the Cubs in the early part of the baseball season is that they play in the National League Central.

There are no Washington Nationals to contend with directly, and the Cubs found out this week the challenge posed by the NL West-leading Colorado Rockies.

After losing two of three to the Rockies at Coors Field, the Cubs found themselves in fourth place in the Central.

They begin a stretch of divisional play this weekend with three games against the firstplace St. Louis Cardinals at Busch Stadium before coming home to play the surprising Cincinnati Reds and Milwaukee Brewers.

I’ve always been hesitant to draw any firm conclusions about a season until Memorial Day, and we’re still more than a couple of weeks away from that traditional milepost.

With the Central so bunched – only the Pirates have a losing record – let’s take a look at what’s up and what’s down with each team in the division.

Cubs

(1.182 OPS) into the day. He had 13 homers and 25 RBIs. Ryan Braun, who has been battling a calf injury, was at .287/.374/.574 with seven homers and 18 RBIs. The Brewers went into Thursday tied with Washington for the league lead in home runs (55).

What’s down: The Brewers are in the early stages of a rebuilding process, and most observers expect them to fall off as the season advances. They rank Cincinnati Reds last in the NL in quality starts, What’s up: The Reds are one a stat that has a way of catching of the surprise teams in base- up to teams. ball.

Zack Cozart had Thursday’s game at Arizona.

rallying for victories this week.

The Cardinals’ pitching staff entered Thursday second in the NL in ERA. What’s down: Former Cubs leadoff man Dexter Fowler has been limited to pinch-hitting duty lately because of right-shoulder soreness. Fowler is at .236/.311/.434 for the season, but he had a big two-run triple Wednesday to help beat the Marlins.

The Cubs’ Kris Bryant follows through on a solo home run during the first inning against the New York Yankees on May 5 at Wrigley Field.

What’s up: In an early season that has felt sluggish and meandering, Kris Bryant has come on of late, going 9 for 30 with two homers over the past week. Bryant has a season line of .299/.401/.547 for an OPS of .949 to go with seven homers and 18 RBIs.

What’s down: Cubs pitchers rank 10th in the NL with 13 quality starts. They led the NL last year with 100. Offensively, the Cubs are down in two key categories: on-base percentage

CUBS NOTES

Grimm optioned to Iowa; Butler joins roster

By GORDON WITTENMYER gwittenmyer@suntimes.com

ST. LOUIS – After surviving three games in two days at Coors Field with the bullpen intact, the Cubs chose to option struggling reliever Justin Grimm to the minors to make room on the roster for Friday’s starter, Eddie Butler.

Butler, the right-hander acquired from the Rockies in a February trade, joins the roster for the weekend series in St. Louis after producing a 1.17 ERA in five starts for Triple-A Iowa.

By sending Grimm to Iowa, the Cubs keep rookie corner infielder Jeimer Candelario on a bench that was

significantly shortened the past week by the need for extra relievers and bumps and bruises to infield starters.

Shortstop Addison Russell was scratched Justin Grimm from Wednesday’s lineup because of shoulder soreness that has bothered him for about a week, and his status is to be evaluated again before Friday’s game.

First baseman Anthony Rizzo is 6 for 50 (.120) with two extra-base hits the past two weeks and has been dealing with a sore left forearm after being hit by a 99-mph fastball from Aroldis Chapman on Sunday night.

He’s expected to return to the lineup Friday after a scheduled day off Wednesday.

The switch-hitting Candelario batted cleanup for the Cubs in Eddie Butler the two games since his recall Tuesday from Iowa, where he was one of the Pacific Coast League’s hottest hitters. He’s a sharp-fielding third baseman who also can play first.

Grimm has struggled much of the season with a 7.53 ERA in 13 appearances, including five runs (three homers) in 42/3 innings in May. Notes: Russell called the shoulder issue “gradual soreness” he attribut-

ed in part to an inconsistent recent schedule that affected his work routine. Russell, who has experienced bouts such as this in recent seasons, said he felt better after a day of treatment Wednesday with an off day scheduled Thursday.

• Right fielder Jason Heyward, who’s on the 10-day disabled list because of a jammed right index finger suffered on a sliding catch May 5, said he expects to return from the DL as soon as he’s eligible – Tuesday, when the Cubs open a 10-game homestand.

“I woke up the next morning and it was all swollen and pretty bad, and I couldn’t pick up a bat,” he said. “We came a long way since then.”

12 BEARS

WR Royal, DL Sutton among Bears’ cuts

By KEVIN FISHBAIN

kfishbain@profootballweekly.com The Bears released wide receiver Eddie Royal and waived defensive lineman Will Sutton, fullback Paul Lasike and offensive lineman Cornelius Edison on Thursday.

Royal, who turns 31 later this month, had no more guaranteed money in his contract, which paid him $10 million guaranteed when he signed it in March 2015. The Bears also don’t have any dead cap on his contract.

In two seasons, Royal played in only 18 games because of injuries. He had 33 catches for 369 yards and two touchdowns last season and returned a punt for a touchdown.

Sutton was a third-round pick by Phil Emery in 2014. He battled injuries

in 2015 and was placed on injured reserve in 2016. In 36 games for the Bears Sutton had 60 tackles, zero sacks and seven passes defensed. The only Bears remaining from Emery’s draft classes (2012 to ’14) are Kyle Long, Kyle Fuller, Ka’Deem Carey, Pat O’Donnell and Charles Leno.

Drafted out of Arizona State to be a three-technique in a 4-3 defense, Sutton did some nice work at times in the 3-4 defense at the nose tackle position, but was never consistent enough.

Lasike spent the 2015 season on the Bears’ practice squad and appeared in 10 games last season as a fullback and on special teams. The former rugby player from New Zealand had three carries and one reception.

Edison appeared in six games for the Bears in 2016.

NFL BRIEFS Source: WR Josh Gordon’s reinstatement denied by NFL

CLEVELAND – Josh Gordon won’t be back in the NFL anytime soon.

A person with knowledge of the decision told The Associated Press that the Cleveland Browns receiver has been denied reinstatement by the NFL. The person, speaking Thursday on the condition of anonymity because the decision has not been announced publicly, said Gordon can reapply for reinstatement in the fall.

Gordon has been suspended several times by the league, including the current ban for violating the NFL’s substance abuse policy. He also was suspended for 10 games in 2014, then for the 2015 season, all for substance abuse violations.

Now 26, Gordon rejoined the Browns last summer, then entered a rehab facility in September.

The Browns still own Gordon’s rights.

Broncos’ baby club includes spot on season ticket wait list

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. – The Denver Broncos have launched a newborn club for families to commemorate their babies’ births, and it includes this feature: members are immediately added to the team’s season ticket waiting list.

That waiting list already has more than 75,000 names on it.

So these babies might get to buy season tickets by the time they’re having kids – or even grandkids – of their own.

Membership to the Broncos Newborn Club is $25 and also includes a team logo baby beanie, a commemorative gift certificate, monthly milestone markers and a night light – Wire reports
