The annual stream of people leaving Illinois for other states hit a new six-figure milestone last year, according to U.S. Census records. For the first time, the annual loss of Illinois residents to outmigration exceeded 100,000 people, according to census data. About 105,200 more people left Illinois than arrived, according to census data released for the period between July 2014 and July 2015. While an influx of 37,600 residents through international migration, and a natural population growth of 52,207 pared the Land of Lincoln’s total population loss to 22,194 people, Illinois still led all 50 states in population loss. At the same time, every other state in the Midwest showed a net population increase. Census data from the previous 2013-2014 collection period also showed Illinois as the only Midwestern state to lose population, and was the first time since the 1980s that Illinois showed a net population loss, according to an analysis by the Center for Governmental Studies at Northern Illinois University. Only four other states lost population, according to census data, but Illinois’ loss was almost five times that of the first runner-up of West Virginia, which lost 4,623 during the same period. New York was the only other state last year besides Illinois to show a six-digit population loss through outmigration. However, its natural population growth and international migration more than compensated for it, and the state

showed a 46,933 net population increase. A mix of factors are to blame, said David Yepsen, director of the Paul Simon Public Policy Institute at Southern Illinois University at Carbondale. While Illinois’ terrible finances and politics are surely playing a role, so does weather and shifting demographic trends. “I think it all works as kind of a package,” Yepsen said. “People don’t feel good about Illinois right now. They see the state as being on the wrong track. Maybe there’s a job opportunity somewhere else, or maybe the grandkids are someplace

else.” The ongoing seven-month budget stalemate in Springfield between Democratic lawmakers and Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner, who is trying to leverage Democratic budget wishes with significant political and economic reforms, is only one small part of the state’s deep financial trouble. Illinois has at least $111 billion in unfunded pension liability, not counting liability for health costs – about one dollar in four collected by the state is paying for public-sector pensions. The state also has the worst credit rating of all 50 states, and is hovering several notches above junk status. Illinois’ ongoing plight is further spelled out by two Gallup polls released in early 2014. The polls, which were conducted months before the terrible “polar vortex” winter, revealed that one resident in four believes that Illinois is the worst state to live in, and that half of residents would leave if given the opportunity. And last year’s analysis by NIU casts a healthy skepticism on putting too much blame on the weather – most people moving out of Illinois are in fact settling in its neighboring states. Census numbers are not the only ones showing a continued exodus from Illinois. Yet again, the annual survey from United Van Lines, the nation’s largest mover of household items, put Illinois near the top for more people moving out than moving in. The Missouri-based company’s 39th annual survey released earlier

CRYSTAL LAKE – Eight months after the sale fell through on a property the Crystal Lake Park District hoped to make the home of its proposed recreation center, a new property is being looked at. A planning committee made up of the park commissioners that oversee the Crystal Lake Park District gave a thumbs-up to investigating the feasibility of the Sunset Meadows property, a parcel owned by the district and located off Route 176 and Briarwood Road on the northwest side of town. The property comes with its challenges, Executive Director Jason Herbster said. Located in the watershed, the cost to build there could be very high, which is why the district is reaching out to engineers and city staff to get an idea of how much more it could cost before taking any more steps, he said, adding he doesn’t see the project moving at a rapid pace and any improvements would be a few years out. “You want people to be able to make an informed decision,” Herbster said. “There’s going to be those people who are going to say yes no matter what, and there’s going to be those who say no, no matter what. But there are those who

“If someone’s going to build on the watershed, who better than us?” Jason Herbster

Crystal Lake Park District executive director are undecided.” The benefit of developing the property, which is currently leased for farming, is that the district could improve the quality of the water being filtered through the area as it heads to Crystal Lake’s namesake lake, said Ann Viger, the district’s director of planning and development. “If someone’s going to build on the watershed, who better than us?” Herbster said, adding the park district is responsible for the quality of the lake. The 136-acre property was purchased – along with 44 acres of wetland property at Ackman and Huntley roads – after a 1999 referendum that financed $2.5 million worth of land acquisition, according to the park district website. At the time, conceptual plans were drawn up to show what the property could be used for, one showing more passive park uses and the other with a building and swimming pool on the western edge, Herbster said.

County OKs abating property taxes of deputy’s widow By KEVIN P. CRAVER

kcraver@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – The McHenry County Board raised daily rates for the handful of private-pay beds at Valley Hi Nursing Home and abated its share of the property tax bill of the widow of a sheriff’s deputy who died 11 months after being shot on

the job. It abated the county government property tax for the widow of fallen Deputy Dwight Maness on a 22-0 vote. Members raised the private-pay rates at Valley Hi by $5 a day effective in April, with member John Hammerand, R-Wonder Lake, casting the sole “no” vote. Although the vote to abate the

taxes on the McHenry home of Susan Maness was unanimous, member Donna Kurtz at first said she could not support it, weighing sensitivity for the issue against sensitivity for county taxpayers. “I think that we as a community have done a very good job of ensuring that we’re doing the right thing for this surviving spouse, and at the

same time, I don’t feel comfortable with asking our taxpayers to continue to take on more and more responsibility,” Kurtz, R-Crystal Lake, said. However, an abatement does not get spread around for other taxpayers to pick up the same way that the reduction of one’s assessment does – it simply means the county chooses

not to collect the money. “It’s what we’re giving up, not what we’re pushing on to others,” Finance and Audit Committee Chairman Mike Skala, R-Huntley, said. Maness and fellow Deputy Khalia Satkiewicz were shot in October 2014 after responding in the early-morning

What do you do with a billion of anything? There’s this short story called “The Monkey’s Paw,” written by W.W. Jacobs in 1902. In it three wishes are granted to the owners of the mysterious monkey’s paw, but not realizing what they are truly wishing for, the fulfillment of the wishes comes at a painfully enormous price. But what does the paw of a monkey have to do with a billion of anything? Well, there seems to be a lot of people who did a lot of wishing lately for a lot of money … a billion and a half dollars, to be exact. But do they really know what they are wishing for? Let’s first explore the very concept of a billion … I think a billion is a lot bigger number than most people imagine. None of us could even live long enough to count to a billion. We will not come close to saying a billion words in our lifetime. And, if you went back in time a billion months, you’d bump into a T-Rex. A billion centimeters is the distance from Chicago to Tokyo. A billion sheets of paper would almost

LOTTERY

JUST HUMOR ME Michael Penkava reach into outer space. A billion golf balls laid end-to-end would circle the earth. A billion paper clips would weigh as much as 200 elephants. And, if a hundred people each ate 25 cookies a day, it would take more than 1,000 years to eat a billion cookies. OK … a billion is a big number. But how can a sense of scale help us to understand a billion dollars? To spend a billion dollars in a year you would have to pay out $2,739,762 a day, $144,155 an hour, $1,902 a minute and $31.07 a second. Or you could just spend $20,000 a day for 100 years. With a billion dollars you could buy the following: • A round trip to the moon for two (Includes a moonwalk) • An Airbus A380 (Seating for you and 800 of your friends)

• Your choice of owning the Chicago Cubs or the Chicago Blackhawks (Duh?) • The Solomon Islands (You now have more money than their total GNP) • 1,076 models of the Ferrari La Ferrari (949 horsepower each) • 7.37 million Air Jordan Retro basketball shoes (You can wear a new pair for the next 20,188 years) • Personally bankroll Star Wars episodes VIII and IX (The Force is not with you ... You ARE the Force) • The Mona Lisa (But get ready for at least 8 million visitors to your home over the next year) Yep, there’s a lot you can do with a billion dollars. But the real question isn’t what to do with that cache of money, it’s do you really need that much in the first place? I know I don’t. If I had my druthers all I’d want is a vintage VW Beetle and a Jonathan Toews jersey. And maybe you could toss in an American Pickers souvenir coffee cup. Beyond that, I think I’m like most

people. I need a billion dollars like I need a trip to the moon or a da Vinci painting hanging in my living room. Besides, when you really think about it, that billion dollars comes out of the pockets of millions of people who are spending money they can’t afford to get cash they won’t ever win to buy stuff they really never needed. So maybe getting a golden ticket to having our wishes granted isn’t the best idea. A billion of anything may be simply too much for any of us. But, if you think otherwise, you might want to read “The Monkey’s Paw.” And then go to 7-Eleven, skip the tickets and use the money to get the Slurpee of your dreams.

MCC officials debate proposal; decision to come in February By ALLISON GOODRICH

agoodrich@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – At the first board of trustees meeting including the new McHenry County College president, a bulk of the discussion centered on a proposal to hike

tuition by $5 per credit hour next school year. Chief Financial Officer Bob Tenuta told trustees and President Clinton Gabbard the college could go until fiscal 2019 before hitting the limits of the board’s fund balance policy.

“Either I have to reduce expenditures more than I’ve done ... or we have to increase revenue,” Tenuta said. His proposal was for a $5 increase to tuition “basically for the operating side of the house,” along with an infrastructure fee of about $10.

Right away, trustee Molly Walsh said those were not figures she could support. “That’s way, way too much,” she said. Gabbard said while he understood the flexibility the proposed increases would give the college – Tenuta said

HUNTLEY – Two Lake in the Hills police officers will be honored with Life Saving Awards at Tuesday’s meeting of the Huntley Fire Protection District Board of Trustees for saving the life of a man in his 30s who went into cardiac arrest after falling down a flight of stairs. Sgt. Michael Boyce and Officer Chad Riffe will be honored for saving the man’s life in early December, Huntley Fire Chief Ken Caudle said. Michael Lake in the Boyce Hills Deputy Chief Pat Boulden said the officers responded to a call of a person down at an address on Larkspur Chad Riffe Lane. Police arrived on the scene before fire personnel and found the man had fallen down the stairs, was unconscious and not breathing. Caudle said the man went into cardiac arrest because of a medical condition he didn’t know he had. The officers began CPR and attached an automated external defibrillator, which advised them to continue CPR, Boulden said. They continued treating the man until fire personnel arrived and took over.

On Thursday, a Harvard High School wrestler was injured and flown to a Rockford hospital, officials said.

Board looks at tuition hike

Rt. 25

HAMPSHIRE – The Hampshire Township teen who had been missing for three days returned home safely Thursday, police said. Kane County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Pat Gengler said Natalie Nollinger, 16, called sheriff’s police Thursday asking for them pick her up from Natalie a South Elgin Nollinger restaurant and bring her home. Nollinger was reported missing Monday after her family said she left a note saying she would return in the morning, according to a Facebook post from the Kane County Sheriff’s Office. Family and friends were unable to reach or locate the teen as of Thursday. Gengler would not elaborate on Nollinger’s whereabouts while she was missing. “Our goal was to get her home safe, and we did that,” Gengler said.

McHENRY COUNTY

Dec. home sales rise to close out ’15 By STEPHEN Di BENEDETTO

sdibenedetto@shawmedia.com

CRYSTAL LAKE – The McHenry County real estate market saw home sales in December jump 20.5 percent, closing out a year that showed increased sales and housing prices locally. In December, total homes sold in the county went from 327 in December 2014 to 394, amounting to a 20.5 percent increase, after new regula-

tions and a tightening market dampened sales in November, according to data released Friday by the Illinois Association of Realtors. The December gains capped off a countywide real estate market in 2015 that saw the number of residential sales (4,973 total) increase 9 percent from the 4,564 homes sold in 2014 and median sale price climb 6.4 percent from 2014 to $175,530 in 2015. “The Illinois housing mar-

ket continued to make positive strides in 2015,” association President Mike Drews said in a statement. “Buyer demand remains strong even amid tighter winter inventory, and higher home prices bode well for homeowners thinking of selling.” Statewide, year-end home sales in 2015 totaled 155,676, a 5.9 percent increase from the 147,051 homes sold in 2014. Year-end median price across Illinois in 2015, meanwhile,

increased to $173,000, up 8.1 percent from 2014, association figures show. For December, median sales price in the county increased 8.6 percent from December 2014, going from $165,000 to $179,135. The number of homes available for sale in the county during that span dropped 14 percent to 1,830 total. Throughout the association’s nine-county Chicago-area market, sales increased 2.1

Fire destroys van in Cary, officials say

CARY – Cary Fire Protection District officials believe a fire that broke out in the cab of a parked van Friday was caused by electrical problems. Lt. Sue Penkava said someone from a neighboring business reported the vehicle on fire in a business parking lot at 206 Cleveland St. about 11:40 a.m. No one was in the van at the time, and the fire was out by the time firefighters arrived, Penkava said. Firefighters extinguished some residual fire and stayed on the scene to investigate the cause. Cary Fire Capt. Andy Veath said the fire appears to have started under the dashboard on the driver’s side. The cause was listed as undetermined, but it seems to have been an electrical problem, he said.

percent from December 2014 to 8,265 total homes sold last month. Median price in the region jumped 8.9 percent to $199,222, while inventories dropped 15.9 percent in that span. The Chicago region also saw year-end sales increase 6.6 percent from 2014 to 2015, going from 104,567 homes sold to 111,462 homes sold. The yearend regional median price increased to $210,000, up 8.5 percent from $193,500 in 2014.

Board has OK’d tuition Yepsen: Trend can be reversed hikes 3 of past 5 years • ILLINOIS • MCC

Continued from page A3 that could be added now and later, but to tack that (an infrastructure fee) on some sort of tuition increase is tough for some people to wrap their heads around,” Gabbard said. The board has voted for a flat property tax levy for three consecutive years, while approving tuition hikes for three of the past five years. Tuition has risen from $90 in fiscal 2010 to $101 in fiscal 2016, and students also have paid a technology fee for the past couple years. The infrastructure fees would go toward the operations and maintenance fund, which Tenuta said would help with capital expenditures. “As everybody here is I’m sure aware of, when the budget gets tight, one of the first things that gets cut is deferred maintenance,” he said. “Well, you can see what happens when deferred maintenance is not paid attention to – we have $40-million liabilities and we’ve got to make sure we have dedicated amounts to replace aged equipment.” As did Walsh, trustee Karen Tirio said she didn’t think it was the right time to raise tuition, expressing concern that it would push people away from MCC. However,

The man regained a pulse, and Boyce and Riffe stayed to help fire personnel as they went through the process of taking him to the hospital. “From what we were told, the prognosis is extremely good,” Caudle said. Caudle said the Huntley Fire Protection District conducts CPR training for all of the police departments they work with, and it’s not unusual for police to begin helping patients if they arrive on the scene before fire personnel. Boulden and Caudle said

this month showed that twothirds of residential moves in Illinois were people leaving, putting it third behind New York and New Jersey. Fifty-four percent listed jobs as a prime reason for moving, while almost 20 percent listed retirement, which is telling to an extent because Illinois does not tax retirement income. But while it’s easy to pin the increased flow of people

Tenuta said he believed it wouldn’t have significant adverse effects on enrollment because MCC’s tuition still would be comparable or even lower than other area schools. Trustee Chris Jenner said he would support a modest increase and later added he would throw his weight behind tuition increases before any increase in the property tax levy. Trustees requested more information from Tenuta for the next meeting. A decision on tuition will have to be made in February.

How they voted

Continued from page A1 hours of Oct. 16, 2014, to a report of a domestic incident in Holiday Hills. Maness, who underwent 15 surgeries and was eager to rejoin the force, died last September at age 47 after suffering cardio-pulmonary arrest during rehabilitation therapy. State law allows counties and municipalities to abate some or all of their share of the property tax bill for the widow of a soldier, police officer, firefighter or other rescue worker killed in the line of duty. Tuesday’s vote was the first time since the McHenry County Board approved its ordinance in 2008 that it was asked to invoke it. Maness’ widow has to reapply for the abatement yearly, and is no longer eligible under state law if she remarries. County government accounts for only about 10 percent of Maness’ tax bill, according to tax records – it is one of nine taxing bodies that she pays into. As for the county-run

The McHenry County Board voted, 22-0, to abate its share of the property tax bill of the widow of fallen sheriff’s Deputy Dwight Maness. Members also voted, 21-1, to raise the private-pay bed rates at Valley Hi Nursing Home by $5 a day, with John Hammerand, R-Wonder Lake, casting the sole opposing vote.

Hammerand participated in Tuesday’s meeting by telephone. nursing home west of Woodstock, board members approved a plan to raise its private-pay rates to $235 for level one skilled care, $245 a day for level two skilled care, and created a new rate of $255 a day for patients needing the most care. Although he ended up voting with the majority, member Andrew Gasser, R-Fox

River Grove, at first said the increase, which would net an additional $27,000 a year, was unnecessary because of the nursing home’s cash surplus. Gasser and other board members abated the $3 million Valley Hi levy for this year’s tax bills in an effort to help spend it down. But board Chairman Joe Gottemoller, R-Crystal Lake, explained that not raising the rate – the board typically raises the daily rates by $5 each year – would be tantamount to the government unfairly undercutting privately run nursing Joe Gottemoller homes. “We are in competition with the private sector, and we’re hurting the private sector if we continually underprice them,” Gottemoller said. Private-pay clients only account for 20 of the home’s 120-plus beds – Medicare and Medicaid account for the rest.

HARVARD – A 60-year-old Harvard man suffered minor injuries, and a 32-year-old Richmond woman received a citation after a head-on collision Friday near Harvard, police and fire officials said. Jennifer K. Vitek-Semrad was driving a 2004 Ford Escape south on Oak Grove Road near the sharp curve south of Ramer Road about 7 a.m. when she saw the man heading east on Oak Grove Road in a 2012 Ford Transit Connect, McHenry County Sheriff’s Deputy Aimee Knop said. Vitek-Semrad hit the brakes, but lost control of her vehicle and went into the eastbound lane, striking the man’s vehicle, Knop said. Harvard Fire Protection District crews evaluated Vitek-Semrad at the scene and took the man to Mercy Harvard Hospital, Knop said. Both drivers were wearing their seat belts, and there were no passengers, Knop said. Sheriff’s deputies cited Vitek-Semrad for driving on the wrong side of the road.

Separate U.S. Census data has shown that McHenry County has lost population, as well. The county in 2014 had an estimated net loss of 1,477 residents, which was the second straight year that the population dipped.

STATE&NATION STATE BRIEFS Ill. Senate leader wants pension details in writing

CHICAGO – Illinois Senate President John Cullerton said he wants Gov. Bruce Rauner to put in writing the details of a proposed pension overhaul their attorneys have been discussing for weeks. Cullerton issued a statement Friday saying there was “confusion” after the Republican governor told reporters a day earlier that he backed the Democrat’s plan as long as it included a provision aimed at collective bargaining. Cullerton said Rauner’s public statements didn’t match what the two discussed privately. Rauner’s office has suggested the governor wasn’t “precise in his word selection” and the two sides do agree. Cullerton’s plan lets workers choose between keeping costof-living increases in retirement and counting future raises when calculating retirement benefits.

Ill. unemployment rises to 5.9 percent in Dec.

CHICAGO – State officials said Illinois’ unemployment rate increased in December to 5.9 percent and the state lost a net 16,300 jobs for the month. The increase in the jobless rate was the second in a row after a string of months dating to July 2014 in which unemployment either fell or held steady. According to Friday’s unemployment report from the Illinois Department of Economic Opportunity, the jobless rate rose from 5.7 percent in November. The national unemployment rate was 5 percent in December.

Lawyers ask to delay Hastert sentencing

CHICAGO – Lawyers for former U.S. House Speaker Dennis Hastert have asked a federal judge to delay sentencing in his hush-money case because of his recent hospitalization for a stroke and other health problems. A Friday court filing said the Illinois Republican has been unable to prepare for his Feb. 29 sentencing because of his health problems. The motion to put off sentencing said Hastert was released from the hospital Jan. 15. He was admitted the first week of November. The filing says he will require up to six weeks of home care and rehabilitation.

United flight rolls to the end of Chicago runway

CHICAGO – A Federal Aviation Agency spokesman said a United Airlines flight from San Francisco rolled all the way to the end of a runway when it landed at Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport. FAA spokesman Tony Molinaro had no further details about the landing of Flight 734 about 11:55 a.m. Friday. He said the agency is investigating. There were no immediate reports of injuries.

Texas man enters plea in wife’s killing in 1973

ROLLING MEADOWS – A Houston-area man has pleaded not guilty to killing his 19-year-old wife more than four decades ago in suburban Chicago. Local media reports say that 73-year-old Donnie Rudd entered the plea Friday in the death of Noreen Kumeta Rudd. Rudd is being held on $4 million bond at the Cook County Jail. He was arrested last month in Sugar Land, Texas, about 15 miles southwest of Houston. Prosecutors allege Rudd beat his wife to death in 1973 and made it appear she had died in a car accident to collect $120,000 in life insurance. The case was ruled a homicide after an autopsy of her exhumed remains determined her injuries were consistent with multiple blows to the head, and inconsistent with being thrown from a car.

2 in shooting case off street CPS job cuts hit central office

Chicago officers’ reports in 2014 McDonald case contradict video The ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHICAGO – Two Chicago police officers whose official accounts of a 2014 fatal shooting of a black teenager by white Officer Jason Van Dyke contradict parts of a squad-car video have been put on desk duty until investigations are complete. Van Dyke’s partner, Officer Joseph Walsh, and a detective who found the shooting justified, David March, retain their police powers but can no longer work on the street in any operational role, police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said in a statement sent to The Associated Press. Dashcam video released Nov. 24 shows Van Dyke shooting Laquan McDonald 16 times as he walks away from police officers with a knife at his side. The footage prompted weeks of protests in Chicago, the sacking of the police superintendent and demands for Mayor Rahm Emanuel to resign. Van Dyke has been charged with murder in the shooting and has pleaded not guilty. The shooting has turned a spotlight on long-standing concerns about a “code of silence” in the police department, in which officers stay quiet about or even cover up possible misconduct by colleagues. The president of the Chicago Police Board, which oversees disciplinary actions against police, addressed

Laquan McDonald (right) walks down the street moments before Chicago police Officer Jason Van Dyke shoots him Oct. 20, 2014. Illinois lawmakers want a judge to be the first stop in determining whether a video involving police use of force should be released to the public, removing the power from law enforcement agencies to make that determination on their own. that code this week. “Those officers who are doing their jobs the right way must be responsible not only for themselves, but for their partners and colleagues who have gone astray,” Lori Lightfoot said in a speech at the City Club of Chicago on Tuesday. “They cannot bear witness to misconduct by others, turn a blind eye and believe that all is well.” Asked in a phone interview Friday about Walsh and March being taken off the street, a spokesman for Interim Police Superintendent John Escalante said he will terminate “any officer found guilty of lying or misrepresenting the facts” following federal and administrative investigations of the McDonald case. Included among hundreds of documents released publicly by the city on Dec.

Stock market slide could keep pension funds struggling The ASSOCIATED PRESS The slide on Wall Street could damage public employee pension funds around the country, most of which haven’t even recovered from the Great Recession, and the burden could end up falling on taxpayers. Stocks have been tumbling in the first weeks of 2016, with the Dow Jones industrial average and the S&P 500 down nearly 9 percent since the start of the year. If there’s a quick rebound, the slump won’t make much difference. If the tumble continues, it could be bad news for pensions. Somewhere down the line, states may have to either cut benefits – which can be legally or politically difficult – or pump more tax dollars into their pension funds to make sure retirees get what they were promised. Pension funds for government employees in many places already are struggling to bring in enough money to cover future payouts. Data compiled by the Pew Charitable Trusts found that only four states – Oklahoma, Rhode Island, South Dakota and Wisconsin – had amassed funding for a bigger portion of their pension liabilities in 2013 than in 2007, a year before stocks fell dramatically. The average state-run plan went from being 86 percent funded before the Great Recession to 72 percent in 2013, the last year for which data was available. Despite strong returns on Wall Street from 2009 through mid-2015, most states saw funding declines for a variety of reasons, including higher payouts because of longer lifespans and generous benefits that were promised during flush times. States such as California, Illinois, Kentucky and New

Jersey didn’t come close to making the taxpayer contributions they are required to make to their pension funds. Pension fund officials in states as varied as California and West Virginia said they are not worried about shortterm market fluctuations because they are diversified, long-term investors. “For the most part, we are in it for the long haul,” said Christine Radogno, the Republican state Senate leader in Illinois, which faces the nation’s largest unfunded pension liability, at more than $100 billion, and is in a tough spot because the courts have ruled that employees’ benefits can’t be cut. “We look at 30-year returns, and the market is always up and down.” Keith Brainard, research director at the National Association of State Budget Administrators, noted that market drops can be a good opportunity to buy low on stocks that will rise in value before long. “These funds measure themselves in terms of their performance over decades rather than months, days and years,” he said. But some people who track government finance say even short-term returns are important. “They can say they’re long-term investors, but they have fixed payments that they must meet come hell or high water,” said Don Boyd, director of fiscal studies at the Rockefeller Institute of Government, part of the State University of New York. “Illinois is very different than, say, a rich family creating a trust fund for a wayward son.” While the family could reduce the son’s payout when returns are low, there’s little wiggle room for states to shrink payments to growing numbers of retirees, he said.

4 were accounts by Walsh and March in which they describe the 17-year-old McDonald advancing on police and waiving the knife threateningly at them right before Van Dyke fired – accounts that portray the teenager as far more menacing than he appears in the video. In a handwritten account on Oct. 20, 2014 – within hours of the shooting – Walsh wrote that McDonald “swung [the] knife” at Van Dyke, adding that he was convinced McDonald was “attempting to kill” his partner. He also said McDonald kept trying to get up. The video belies those accounts. In it, Van Dyke is seen stepping from a squad car driven by Walsh and shooting almost immediately. After one or two shots, McDonald collapses barely moving

except for slight twitches as bullets pummel his body. Court filing by prosecutors say all but a few of the 16 shots hitting McDonald were fired over 13 seconds as he lay in the street. The 3-inch blade was found folded into the handle. A report submitted by March months later appeared to take officers’ accounts at face value and concluded that McDonald had been “an active assailant” armed with “a dangerous weapon.” On that basis, he deemed Van Dyke’s decision to shoot was justified. Guglielmi said Escalante put March and Walsh on desk duty on the recommendation of the Chicago Office of Inspector General Joseph Ferguson in mid-December. The office is the city’s internal watchdog and its recommendation isn’t binding.

CHICAGO – More than 200 administrative employees with Chicago Public Schools are being laid off and another 180 already-vacant positions will be closed, changes officials say will help save the nation’s third-largest district $45.1 million a year as it grapples with deep financial problems. The 227 layoffs announced Friday are in the central office and district officials say 57 of the workers affected will be eligible to reapply for 35 jobs. After the changes, the district will have cut 433 central office jobs overall since August through layoffs or closings of positions. “There’s no doubt that these cuts are painful,” schools CEO Forrest Claypool said in a statement Friday. “However, with limited resources and a budget crisis not just this year but into the foreseeable future, we had no choice.” The announcement comes at a difficult time for the district, which has about 400,000 students and faces a $1.1 billion budget deficit and the potential of midyear teacher layoffs. Tough contract negotiations with the Chicago Teachers Union, which went on strike in 2012, are ongoing. Earlier this week, top Illinois Republicans called for a state takeover of the district because of the fiscal crisis, a plan Democrats and Chicago school officials blasted.

Why is there condensation on my windows? During the heating season your furnace heats the home to whatever the thermostat is set to. Warm air holds more moisture than cold air, therefore it absorbs whatever humidity is present. Eventually the house becomes too dry and you may feel colder and also notice static shocks when touching electric switches, metal objects, or your pets. To solve these issues we have to add more moisture. This is done via a humidiﬁer. The balancing act begins when the outside temperature drops into the low teens or zero. That is usually the time you see condensation on the windows. When supersaturated warm air comes in contact with ice cold glass, the result is dew. This is when you dial down the humidity level just above the dew point. As the outside temperatures rise, you can then raise the humidity level. A good rule of thumb is to always use the windows as an indicator of how much humidity your home can safely hold. If excess humidity is not controlled then you can have damage to the sill or a potential mold problem. If you have any HVAC related questions, please contact me today!

WASHINGTON – A storm that arrived postcard-pretty in the nation’s capital Friday was morphing into a painful, even paralyzing blizzard with gale-force winds pushing heavy snow and coastal flooding. One in seven Americans could get at least half a foot of snow by Sunday, and Washington could see snowdrifts more than 4 feet high. The first flakes were lovely, but forecasters warned that much, much more was on its way. Not that anyone will see the worst of it: Much heavier snow and wind gusting to 50 mph should create blinding whiteout conditions once the storm joins up with a low pressure system off the coast, said Bruce Sullivan, a forecaster at the National Weather Service’s Weather Prediction Center in College Park, Maryland. Two feet or more of snowfall is forecast for Washington and Baltimore, and nearly as much for Philadelphia. New York City’s expected total was upped Friday to a foot or more. But Sullivan said “the winds are going to be the real problem; that’s when we’ll see possible power outages.” The result could create snowdrifts 4 to 5 feet high, so

An overturned vehicle is seen Friday in the median along Monacan Trail Road south of Charlottesville, Va. even measuring it for records could be difficult, he said. By evening, wet, heavy snow was falling in the capital, making downed power lines more likely, and yet many people remained on the roads, Washington Mayor Muriel Bowser said. “Find a safe place and stay there,” she beseeched. Anyone trying to travel in this mess risks getting stuck for hours, marooned in odd places, or killed, authorities warned. At least seven people died in storm-related crashes before the worst of the storm, including Stacy Sherrill, whose car plummeted off an icy road in Tennessee. Her husband survived after climbing for hours up a 300-foot embankment. “They’re slipping and sliding all over the place,” said Kentucky State Police Trooper Lloyd Cochran – as soon as one wreck was cleared, other

cars slammed into each other, causing gridlock for hours on interstate highways. Conditions quickly became treacherous all along the path of the storm. Arkansas and Tennessee got 8 inches; Kentucky got more than a foot, and states across the Deep South grappled with icy, snow-covered roads and power outages. Two tornadoes arrived along with the snow in Mississippi. The storm could easily cause more than $1 billion in damage, weather service director Louis Uccellini said. All the ingredients have come together for a massive snowfall: The winds initially picked up warm water from the Gulf of Mexico, and now the storm is taking much more moisture from the warmer-than-usual Gulf Stream as it rotates slowly over mid-Atlantic states, with the District of Columbia in its bulls-eye.

At least meteorologists appear to have gotten this storm right. Predictions converged and millions of people got clear warnings, well in advance. Blizzard warnings stretched to just north of New York City. Boston and other New England cities should get a less windy winter storm, and much less snow. In all, 82 million Americans will get at least an inch of snow, 47 million more than 6 inches, and 22 million Americans more than a foot, Ryan Maue at WeatherBell Analytics said Friday. Fortunately, temperatures will be just above freezing after the storm passes in most places, and there’s no second storm lurking behind this one, making for a slow and steady melt and less likelihood of more ice and floods, Peterson said. As food and supplies vanished from store shelves Friday, states of emergency were declared, lawmakers went home, and schools, government offices and transit systems closed early around the region. Thousands of flights were canceled, sporting events were called off, bands postponed concerts and NASCAR delayed its Hall of Fame induction ceremony. Broadway’s shows were still going on in New York, but as snow fell in Atlanta, people there were urged to stay home all weekend, rather than risk a repeat of the city’s 2014 “icepocalypse,” when a relatively mild winter storm caused days of commuter chaos.

Flint’s mayor has floated a shockingly high price tag to fix the Michigan city’s lead-contamination problem: $1.5 billion to replace damaged pipes. Gov. Rick Snyder put the figure at $700 million. In the meantime, officials and water experts are hopeful that there is a less drastic and far cheaper step – using a chemical to recoat existing pipes and contain the lead. If it works, that could make the water safe enough to drink until the damage to the system can be fully assessed. The problem is that nobody knows how badly the pipes were damaged after the state’s disastrous decision in 2014 to use the Flint River as the city’s drinking water source without adding a chemical to control corrosion. That caused lead to leach into the water for a year and a half and contributed to a spike in child lead poisoning before city and state officials fully acknowledged the problem. “I don’t think anybody knows how long it will take or the amount of corrosion built up in the pipes,” longtime city Councilman Scott Kincaid said. The city last fall resumed buying Detroit water, drawn from Lake Huron, and experts said they believe lead levels are already dropping with the addition of phosphate, which helps form an interior coating on the pipes to prevent lead leaching. But it’s impossible to say how long it will take before the water is safe enough to drink without the use of expensive filters, which the state has been distributing to residents along with bottled water. Experts also say that Flint’s lead service pipes, which connect homes to the wider water system, must eventually be replaced because they have aged the equivalent of 10 years in 18 months. “Damage to the pipe integrity can never be reversed,”

Marc Edwards, a Virginia Tech civil engineering professor who helped identify and expose Flint’s lead problem, said in an email. The Environmental Protection Agency, which said this week that it would take over lead sampling in the city, said Friday that the Flint treatment plant has greatly increased the level of phosphate “in order to more quickly coat the insides of the city’s pipes.” An agency task force plans to go to Flint to try to determine how badly damaged they are. It could take a long time to determine the actual costs of fixing the disaster in this financially struggling city, where more than 40 percent of people live in poverty. Mayor Karen Weaver’s figure appears to reflect an analysis included in a Q&A published by the city’s Water Advisory Committee last March, before the city knew it had a lead problem. Officials estimated the Karen Weaver price at $1.6 billion to replace all 1,600 miles of water and sewer mains in the city, not just water service pipes. Neither Weaver nor her spokeswoman responded to phone and email messages seeking comment. What’s more, nobody is certain how many lead service pipes there are in Flint. The EPA also ordered the state to create an inventory of Flint homes with lead service lines. Kincaid said officials have estimated there are around 15,000 lead service lines in the city, which has 30,000 water customers. But that doesn’t necessarily mean that half of customers have lead pipes, because many lines are probably in neighborhoods full of abandoned houses, he said, adding that a local land bank owns about 8,000 vacant houses that could be torn down to shrink the city’s footprint.

U.S. student held in North Korea

Small American flags have been placed in the trees in front of the Warmbier family home Friday in Wyoming, Ohio. North Korea on Friday announced the arrest of Otto Warmbier, a university student from Ohio, for what it called a “hostile act” orchestrated by the American government to undermine the authoritarian nation. activities or immediately release Warmbier. The U.S. Department of State said it was “aware of media reports that a U.S. citizen was detained in North Korea.” A China-based tour company specializing in travel to North Korea, Young Pioneer Tours, confirmed that one of its customers, identified only as Otto, had been detained in Pyongyang, the North’s capital, but provided no other details. Social media accounts for Warmbier show interests in finance, travel and rap music. Warmbier is majoring in eco-

nomics with a minor in global sustainability and was on the dean’s list. A professor at the university’s school of commerce, Jeremy Marcel, called Warmbier “a very intelligent, wonderful young man.” A Theta Chi fraternity brother, Miles Kirwin, added, “He’s an incredible guy.” Warmbier was a top student at his high school in a northern Cincinnati suburb and was described as a skilled soccer player. Wyoming City Schools spokeswoman Susanna Max said Warmbier was the salutatorian of his 2013

CINCINNATI – Officials in North Korea and the U.S. released little information Friday about a university student from Ohio who was detained for what the authoritarian nation called a “hostile act.” Otto Warmbier is the second person from southwest Ohio to be detained in North Korea in less than two years. A Dayton-area man, Jeffrey Fowle, was held for nearly six months in 2014. North Korea’s state media said the University of Virginia student entered the country under the guise of a tourist and plotted against North Korean unity with “the tacit connivance of the U.S. government and under its manipulation.” The date of his arrest was unclear, as were any details of what he did. Ohio Gov. John Kasich, campaigning in New Hampshire as a Republican presidential candidate, called the arrest “inexcusable.” His Columbus office released a letter he sent to President Barack Obama, urging his Democratic administration to “make every effort to secure Mr. Warmbier’s immediate release and keep [his] family constantly apprised.” Kasich said North Korea should either provide evidence of alleged anti-state

graduating class in the highly rated public high school. An attorney who represented Fowle in 2014 advised caution for those involved with the student. “They [North Korea] kind of trickle information out, but what’s actually going on can be very different,” Lebanon attorney Timothy Tepe said, adding he learned North Korean authorities monitor reports and comments about detainees. “You have to be careful what you say.” Tepe said Fowle is “doing wonderful” and seems to have adjusted well to life at his home near Dayton. Fowle, a married father of three, attends church regularly with his family and returned to a job in the city of Moraine’s street department, Tepe said. Fowle said in 2014 he had left a Bible in a North Korean nightclub in hopes it would reach underground Christians. North Korea’s announcement Friday comes amid a diplomatic push by Washington, Seoul and their allies to slap Pyongyang with tough sanctions for a recent nuclear test. North Korea has occasionally announced the arrests of foreign detainees in times of tension with the outside world in an apparent attempt to wrest concessions or diplomatic maneuvering room.

GOP warming up to Trump The ASSOCIATED PRESS

DES MOINES, Iowa – Donald Trump and some mainstream Republicans are engaged in a long-distance flirtation. Both sides are coming to the realization that they’ll need each other if the billionaire businessman becomes the party’s presidential nominee. The GOP establishment is no fonder of Trump than when he first roiled the campaign last summer with his controversial comments about immigrants and women. But with voting beginning in just over a week, his durability atop preference polls has pushed some donors, strategists and party elders to grudgingly accept the prospect of his winning the nomination. “We’d better stop hoping for something else and accept the possibility that he’s our nominee and be prepared to rally around him if that’s the case,” said Fred Malek, a top Republican presidential fundraiser. Bob Dole, the 1996 Republican nominee who represented Kansas in the House and Senate for decades, said of Trump: “He’s got this personality where I do believe he could work with Congress.” Trump, too, has started to suggest that he’d look for ways to work with Republican leaders if he wins. “I’m a dealmaker who will get things done,” he said Thursday during an event in Las Vegas. “There’s a point at which – let’s get to be a little establishment. We got to get things done, folks, OK?” However, the establishment’s growing acceptance of Trump’s electoral prospects so far hasn’t manifested itself in tangible support for his campaign. The real estate mo-

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump holds a Time magazine featuring an article on him Tuesday outside the John Wayne Museum in Winterset, Iowa. gul has not been endorsed by any congressional lawmakers or governors, nor are there any indications of a big wave of major donors planning to get involved with his campaign, despite Trump’s assertion that he’s received “so many calls” from wealthy and influential Republicans. If anything, the most visible signs of support for Trump’s campaign in recent days have come from those who see themselves as outside the Republican establishment. Sarah Palin, the former Alaska governor and a favorite of the tea party insurgency, announced her support for him on Tuesday. Amy Kremer, the former chairman of the Tea Party Express organization, announced plans this week to launch a super PAC backing Trump’s candidacy. “The one thing I know for

sure is that he absolutely is 100 percent pro-American and he loves this country and wants to restore it to greatness,” Kremer said of Trump. “At this point, I really believe he is the only one with the ability to do that.” Much of the mainstream Republican reckoning with Trump is rooted in deep disdain for Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, the businessman’s closest rival. Cruz is seen as more likely to try to upend the web of lobbyists, donors and other powerbrokers who have long wielded enormous influence in the Republican Party. Liz Mair, a communications operative who is running one of the GOP’s few anti-Trump efforts, said donors affiliated with other candidates would rather let Trump beat Cruz in the early voting states than let their least-favorite senator gain momen-

tum. “They’d rather that he kills Cruz by winning in Iowa and New Hampshire and then try to take him down,” Mair said. Even as he’s taken up the anti-establishment mantle, Trump has made some quiet overtures to GOP powerbrokers. He met with Republican mega-donor Sheldon Adelson last year and has also reached out to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, although he hasn’t spoken directly with House Speaker Paul Ryan. There are still big swaths of establishment-minded Republican voters and officials who staunchly oppose Trump’s candidacy and believe both he and Cruz are unelectable in November. They say there’s still plenty of time for a more mainstream candidate to mount a serious challenge.

WASHINGTON – Recall this 2008 storyline: Hillary Clinton enters the presidential campaign as the Democratic front-runner, runs into an inspirational candidate who generates big crowds and enthusiasm. And she winds up in a dogfight in Iowa. Sound familiar? With 10 days left before Iowa’s leadoff caucuses, Clinton finds herself in a heated contest against insurgent rival Bernie Sanders reminiscent of her 2008 face-off with thenSen. Barack Obama. The Vermont senator has soared to a nip-and-tuck race in Iowa and holds an advantage in New Hampshire, putting Clinton back on the brink in her second presidential bid. Clinton lost Iowa in 2008, a setback that she never fully recovered from against Obama, who went on to win the White House. This time she hopes a larger field organization in Iowa and an escalation of her critiques of Sanders’ record and message might undercut his momentum. Yet there may be a silver lining for Clinton’s 2016 campaign: Unlike Obama, Sanders is a self-described “demo-

cratic socialist” and has done little to expand his support beyond white liberal voters who populate the first two presidential contests. Clinton has locked down nearly all of the establishment support – governors, members of Congress and Democratic leaders – who can help her in a lengthy primary. And, for now, the former secretary of state has an advantage i n a s e r i e s Hillary o f S o u t h - Rodham ern-heavy Clinton primaries and caucuses after Iowa and New Hampshire. The question is whether that edge vanishes if Sanders defeats Clinton in the first two contests, a distinct possibility. “Bernie’s appeal is powerful and it resonates with a certain lane of the Democratic electorate for sure, young voters, independent voters,” said Steve McMahon, a Democratic strategist who advised Howard Dean’s 2004 presidential campaign. “But it’s ultimately not a winning general election message, it’s a

Human error damaged nuclear-armed missile

WASHINGTON – Errors by three airmen troubleshooting a nuclear missile in its launch silo in 2014 triggered a “mishap” that damaged the missile, prompting the Air Force to strip the airmen of their nuclear certification and quietly launch an accident investigation, officials said Friday. In a statement released to The Associated Press, the Air Force declined to provide key additional details or a copy of the report produced in November by the Accident Investigation Board, saying the information was classified and too sensitive to be made public. Under the Air Force’s own regulations, Accident Investigation Board reports are supposed to be made public. The Air Force did release a brief summary to the AP after it repeatedly sought answers for more than a year. The summary said the full report was classified on Nov. 9, 2015, by Gen. Robin Rand, who took over as commander of Air Force Global Strike Command in July 2015.

protest message. It’s difficult to see it grow to the point it becomes a real threat to Secretary Clinton’s campaign.” Clinton led in Iowa throughout the fall and into December but polls released this month have depicted a much tighter race against Sanders. At campaign stops, Clinton has ramped up her criticism of Sanders, questioning the practicality of Bernie his agenda to Sanders provide universal health care, his voting record on gun control and his foreign policy credentials. Her campaign has seized upon Sanders’ suggestions that the U.S. should normalize relations with Iran, saying it makes him an outlier compared with Obama and Clinton. Driving the foreign policy message, Clinton released a new ad on Friday, in which the narrator says, “She’s the one leader who has what it takes to get every part of the job done.” Although less provocative, it offers parallels to Clinton’s

“3 a.m.” ad against Obama, which asked voters who they would want to answer the early morning phone call to respond to a global challenge. Sanders, like Obama, has sought to offer a more uplifting, aspirational message. His latest ad, “America,” shows off his massive rallies and a genial image of the 74-yearold lawmaker to the tune of the famous 1968 song by Simon and Garfunkel. It presents a window into how Sanders has tapped into a key part of the Obama coalition: white liberal voters and young voters. Both were critical in Obama’s Iowa victory in 2008 and will be counted upon heavily, along with independent voters who can register for the Democratic caucuses if they choose. But one major question entering Iowa is whether there will be enough of these voters. In 2008, Obama fueled a massive turnout in Iowa – about 240,000 people participated, compared to about 125,000 in 2004 – and few expect crowds anywhere near that 2008 size. “I think Bernie is more of a Howard Dean than a Barack Obama,” said Buffy Wicks, a veteran of the Dean and Obama campaigns.

THUMBS UP, THUMBS DOWN

Doing more to unite our communities

The Northwest Herald Editorial Board offers this week’s thumbs up and thumbs down: Thumbs up: To McHenry County communities making an effort to boost Spanish-language resources. Police departments, preschools, libraries and more are incorporating and teaching Spanish and English to break down cultural barriers in the county. In areas such as Harvard, where there is a higher population of Spanish-speaking people, this effort will do more to unite the community. Thumbs down: To Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner and how he trotted out plans for badly needed pension reform in Illinois. On Thursday morning, Rauner announced he had reached a deal with Democratic Senate President John Cullerton regarding how pension reform should look moving forward, explaining the deal included Cullerton’s proposal and a provision aimed at weakening collective bargaining. Around lunchtime, Cullerton said he had agreed to no such deal. About an hour later, Rauner’s office sent out a statement that questioned Cullerton’s commitment to reform. By Thursday night, the governor’s office was backtracking and acknowledged Rauner might not have been as precise as he needed to be in choosing his words Thursday morning and that everybody was on the same page. Pension reform in Illinois is crucial. To get it done, both sides of the aisle are going to have to work together, and Rauner should be applauded for trying to compromise and moving a plan forward. Episodes like Thursday’s, however, make working together that much more challenging. Thumbs up: To the My Sister’s Dress organization, now in its ninth year of helping recycle formal prom gowns and accessories and donating proceeds to worthy charities. Meanwhile, local girls can get great deals on apparel for a big event that can be too costly for some. The beneficiary this year is Home of the Sparrow, which offers affordable housing and transitional shelters and apartments to single women and single women with children or who are pregnant. Donations are being accepted through March 11. The sale is March 12. Visit www.hosparrow.org for more information. Thumbs down: To McHenry School District 156 for failing to name its candidate for head football coach before the hire was approved at Tuesday’s school board meeting. The board did what was required by open meetings law by placing an item regarding the hire on its agenda, but the failure to name the candidate before the vote eliminates the public’s opportunity to provide feedback before hiring decisions are finalized. Many other area school districts publish a list of hires to be approved before the board votes, which is something the public should demand of its representatives.

ANOTHER VIEW

Stalemate victim list grows Now we’ve lost General Electric. This should surprise nobody. What business wants to move to a state so dysfunctional it can’t even agree on a budget? When GE announced the company would move its headquarters from a Connecticut suburb to Boston, there was no doubt why the company blew off a bid by Chicago – nobody builds a house on quicksand. “It seemed too big of a risk,” a GE source told the Chicago Tribune, referring to Illinois’ political gridlock and $111 billion in pension debt. “That played into the decision to take Chicago off the short list.” And so it goes: Illinois gets hammered again, with permanent damage, while big egos in Springfield play chicken. This is not governing. Since Gov. Bruce Rauner took his oath of office, both sides in this unnecessary standoff in Springfield have claimed the high ground. Rauner says short-term pain is the price Illinois must pay for long-term gain. He promises an improved business climate will solve all problems once the state Legislature acquiesces to his essentially anti-union reforms. The governor’s equally obstinate counterpart in the Legislature, House Speaker Mike Madigan, says he will have nothing to do with Rauner’s “extreme” efforts to eviscerate unions and the middle class. So he does an imitation of a statute. There is nothing short-term about this pain. Real people are getting hurt for good. Real jobs are being lost for good. Real opportunities, such as bringing a manufacturing giant such as GE to Illinois, are being missed for good. Economic growth in Illinois after the recession lags well behind the national average, and business people pointedly blame uncertainty in state taxes and other public policies. Businesses don’t like taxes, but they hate uncertainty. Real people are being hurt – permanently. They are babies and children, college students and the disabled, sick people and old people. They are not, like Rauner and Madigan, wealthy, powerful and untouchable. Chicago Sun-Times

IT’S YOUR WRITE In favor of elimination?

To the Editor: Reading Republican U.S. Rep. Randy Hultgren’s comments about the president’s State of the Union address, and he rails on about more government and government taking choices away. I’m sure he is in favor of eliminating the hundreds of township governments we taxpayers have to pay for, correct? Richard Wiese

Government cooperation

To the Editor: Thank you to the Northwest Herald for bringing forward a local government story that, at first read, is only about paving a road, and that occurs too often in Illinois to be news. This paving project is different and worth the notice. It was about intergovernmental cooperation, a theme regularly championed from the statehouse to village halls. A road project that is undertaken through the share cooperation of process and funding to benefit the residents of two municipalities – Algonquin and Barrington Hills. Yes, there was paperwork, public

meetings and staff work, but all working together without duplication. Like those New Year’s resolutions, it’s the gain that should keep us going. Robert Kosin Barrington Hills

Still open for business

To the Editor: As many know, the corner of Miller Road and Route 31 in McHenry has been under construction since spring. What we might not be aware of is that many of these businesses’ sales have been affected. This is because some of the familiar entrances are now closed. This will be permanent. We all still can gain access to these popular businesses, such as Brunch Café, Salon Te Elle Ce, Old Town Pizza and the UPS Store, with just a bit of adjustment. For example, those accessing the shopping area from the north can turn into Bank Drive by McHenry Savings Bank and approach these businesses from the rear – Knox Drive. Northbound and eastbound customers can approach the district via the entrance at Brunch

HOW TO SOUND OFF We welcome original letters on public issues. Letters must include the author’s full name, home address and day and evening telephone numbers. We limit letters to 250 words and one published letter every 30 days. Election-related letters are limited to 150 words. The deadline to submit an election-related let-

Café and the BP service station. Those approaching from the west should use the entrance off Miller Road or Knox Drive. It just takes a bit of effort, not really a lot of time, to support these organizations during the interchange’s construction. Kay Bates

In addition to criminal law, Demetri is extremely well-versed in civil and family law. Demetri is a conservative family man, who devotes his free time to his family and the community. He and his family volunteer to help those in need and the less fortunate. He mentors students interested in the law, and he is a role model in the community. McHenry County will be in great hands with Demetri Tsilimigras serving on the bench. Please join me in supporting Demetri’s candidacy. Chris Covelli Cary

The Donald is repaying a debt to Palin Returning to the political stage this week to endorse Donald Trump, Sarah Palin showed she is, well, still Sarah Palin. With every sentence a mouthful of gobbled words, misplaced modifiers and mixed tenses, all delivered in a high pitch, she accomplished the parlor trick of missing the point while going too far: “He’s got the guts to wear the issues that need to be spoken about and debate on his sleeve, where the rest of some of these establishment candidates, they just wanted to duck and hide. They didn’t want to talk about these issues until he brought ’em up. In fact, they’ve been wearing a, this, political correctness kind of like a suicide vest.” Suicide vest references aren’t as bad as allusions to the Holocaust but they’re still not advisable. There were more unparseables as she took after President Barack Obama, returning as always to his early career as a community organizer, this time as the explanation for what she regards as a weak foreign policy: “With the skills of a commu-

VIEWS Margaret Carlson nity organizer maybe organizing a neighborhood tea, well, he deciding that, ‘No, America would apologize as part of the deal,’ as the enemy sends a message to the rest of the world that they capture and we kowtow, and we apologize, and then, we bend over and say, ‘Thank you, enemy.’ ” The biggest beneficiary of the Palin revival might be “Saturday Night Live.” By giving the former Alaska governor so big a stage, Trump might be conceding he’s never going to get anyone serious to endorse him. Palin, however, also should be a reminder that political careers can end just as quickly as they rise. A supernova who exploded and dissolved as a vice presidential candidate, the controversial governor who randomly fired people she didn’t like and pushed the Bridge to Nowhere quit her office 17 months early. She set

about launching the Mamma Grizzly brand, featuring her husband, the First Dude, and their band of unruly children: the Kardashians, but with a penchant for dressing moose and catching salmon. In a short time, her opinions weren’t as sought after and she faded from TV. These days, news comes from tabloids covering her family’s brawls (The latest incident: the arrest Tuesday of her son Track for domestic violence and possession of a firearm while intoxicated). It’s hard to measure her political popularity now. Had the Trump event in Norwalk, Iowa, on Wednesday morning drawn a huge crowd because she was supposed to be there? (Inexplicably, she was a no-show at that rally but turned up with the Donald at Oral Roberts University in Tulsa, Oklahoma, in the afternoon.) Is the Trump gambit the equivalent of an off-Broadway tryout to reprise her role as a vice presidential candidate? Trump probably doesn’t believe the Republican ticket lost to a community organizer in

2008 because the running mate couldn’t name a Supreme Court nominee or a newspaper. Instead, he might blame the non-war hero John McCain for the debacle. In Alaska, Palin’s star has collapsed upon itself. When she talked about running for the seat of Democratic Sen. Mark Begich in 2014, one poll found her favorability rating in the state was upside down: Only 39 percent approved of her. A Public Policy Polling survey found 54 percent of likely Alaska voters had an unfavorable view of their former governor. Regardless of his motivation for bringing her on, Trump is unwittingly acknowledging the debt his seemingly unstoppable ascent owes to Palin. She laid the ground for Americans to embrace a candidate almost entirely lacking knowledge of the issues and running mostly on personality. He doesn’t need Palin to sell him to his crowds. He does need to thank her. • Margaret Carlson is a Bloomberg View columnist.

BOYS BASKETBALL: CRYSTAL LAKE SOUTH 42, McHENRY 39

Gators solve nemesis

Warriors had won past 4 meetings

AP photo

Bulls forward Taj Gibson looks to take a shot under pressure from Celtics center Kelly Olynyk in the first quarter Friday in Boston.

By JOE STEVENSON

joestevenson@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – First, Wes Buckner struck a bodybuilder’s pose and let out a primal scream at Crystal Lake South’s student section in the middle of his third-quarter three-point play. Then, the Gators forward let out another yell in the fourth quarter after a rebound basket. And finally, there was a sprint after the final buzzer toward the South students in celebration before he ran over and leaped to bump center Josh Friesen. If it seemed as if Buckner was letting out years of emotion, it’s because he was. He and Friesen have been on varsity since their sophomore years and never had beaten McHenry until Friday night at Gator Alley. South guard Zach Geske hit a pair of free throws with 13.2 seconds remaining and the Warriors had two 3-point attempts in the final seconds miss as the Gators won, 42-39, in their Fox Valley Conference Valley Division boys basketball game. The Gators (10-8 overall, 4-1 FVC Valley) had lost their past four games to McHenry (8-12, 3-2) by a combined margin of 18 points. This was not just any old division game. “Ever since last year, we really wanted this win,” said Buckner, a 6-foot-6 forward who scored nine points and had eight rebounds. “This was one of our goals to beat these guys, we put everything into it. It was a really great atmosphere, it was a lot of fun playing in it.” Both sides brought big crowds, many clad in pink for South’s Pinkout Night. It also was a pivotal game for the division as both teams were trailing Jacobs by one game.

BOYS BASKETBALL: JACOBS 52, CARY-GROVE 50 (OT)

OUTSIDE THE BOX SCORE

Golden Eagles barely escape By JOHN WILKINSON

jwilkinson@shawmedia.com ALGONQUIN – Cameron Krutwig had tried to keep the mood positive in the Jacobs huddles as time ticked away and the Golden Eagles still trailed visiting CaryGrove late into the fourth quarter of Friday night’s conference game. All that positive energy came exploding out of the 6-foot-9 junior with 19.9 seconds left in the fourth quarter. Krutwig received a baseline pass from Nikolas Balkcom, rolled to the hoop, laid the ball in and was fouled. In the echo of the whis-

tle, he wheeled away roaring, pounding both fists on his chest. Krutwig sank his free throw to complete the three-point play, tying the score at 45 and eventually sending the game to overtime after each team came up empty on a final possession. “Obviously, the emotion of the game got into me,” Krutwig said. “All right crowd right there tonight, down by three, just let the emotion get out of me a little bit.” He kept the energy rolling into overtime, scoring six of Jacobs’ seven points to lead the hosts to a 52-50 Fox Valley Con-

ference Valley Division victory at Jacobs. “It’s to their credit, and Cam being the ring leader,” Jacobs coach Jimmy Roberts said of the positivity. “Every timeout, even with three minutes to go we’re down seven, whatever it is, he’s (saying), ‘We’re going to win; We’re going to get it done;’ some choice words, whatever the case may be, and somehow found a way.” Krutwig led the Golden Eagles (14-3, 5-0 FVC Valley) with 17 points. Balkcom added 12 points and Loen Nelson chipped in 10.

q AND ANOTHER THING ...

“Our defense has helped us to persevere through several of these games that have been like there, where we’re able to hold teams down until thankfully we’ve been able to find a way to get it done.” – Jacobs coach Jimmy Roberts

BOSTON – It was a short little three-word response from Fred Hoiberg after Friday night’s 110-101 loss to Boston at the TD Garden. But one that also spoke volumes. The firstyear coach was asked whether he was tired of his team looking soft in too many Fred Hoiberg moments this season, and without hesitation responded, “Yeah, I am.” He wasn’t alone. “Soft” is always a dangerous word to use about a team on any level, but also a very fitting description of what this Bulls team has become on a night-to-night basis. And they can try to dress it up with buzzwords such as “communication” and “energy,” but it seems to come back to one common theme with this team: Too soft in too many key moments. Jimmy Butler definitely wasn’t going to hide from that label. “Yeah, especially coming out of the gates, and that’s on us starters, man,” Butler said, when asked about the marshmallow moments from this team. “We’re digging ourselves a huge hole a lot of these games because we know how talented we are, how well we can score the ball, but defense is all about grit. The will and the want to do-so. I don’t feel like we do-so right now.” Even more troubling was Butler pointing out that the coaches stress it, the players talk about it and practice it in shootaround, but once those lights turn on, well, as Butler put it, “when we get out there, it’s kind of like we do what we want to do. We’re not on the

Huntley grad Lyman honored for volunteer work Whether it’s across campus or more than 1,000 miles from home, University of Louisville baseball player Colin Lyman enjoys lending a hand. “I naturally like helping people, especially younger kids,” said Lyman, a Huntley graduate from Algonquin. “I feel like I can impact their lives.” Lyman, a junior outfielder for the No. 2-ranked Cardinals, Colin Lyman and his teammates were recognized this month by the NCAA for their community service contributions. As part of its fall 2015 Team Works Competition, the NCAA honored Louisville baseball as the No. 1 program in the nation across all sports and divisions for community service. The Cardinals completed more than 2,600 hours of community service during

ON CAMPUS Barry Bottino the competition, an average of 62 hours per athlete. Lyman earned the No. 1 spot among all baseball athletes nationally and was among the top 10 overall. “I had no idea I had won,” Lyman said. “I didn’t think about it being a possibility. I really didn’t do it because of the competition. I did it because I like to do it.” A highlight of the team’s fall semester was a five-day trip in October to the Dominican Republic. The Cardinals conducted a baseball camp for children, visited an orphanage for girls and delivered food to families in two villages. “For me, the most impactful part was going to the girls orphanage,”

Lyman said. “It was amazing how much they enjoyed the simple things in life.” During the team’s visit, players took part in games and listened to songs performed by the girls. The Cardinals’ sponsor for the trip, Papa John’s pizza, also provided a meal during the visit. “The girls were happy just to see us and eat pizza,” Lyman said. “Seeing how happy they were with how little they have was eye-opening.” Players also visited a local market one day to buy groceries. They split up and visited two villages, delivering food to local residents. “They might not have eaten that day if we didn’t give them food,” he said. Along with playing games against local teams, the Cardinals held a baseball camp for young players.

CLEVELAND – David Blatt’s second NBA season seemed to be going better than his first. Now, it’s over. Blatt was fired Friday by the title-chasing Cavaliers, replaced by top assistant Tyronn Lue, said David Griffin, the team’s general manager. Griffin told reporters Friday the Cavs had been taking steps back and were lacking connection. The team isn’t in the business of being “pretty good,” he said. Blatt led Cleveland to the NBA Finals last year. He was fired one day after expressing frustration with criticism of a team that’s 30-11 and the top team in the Eastern Conference. Lue is scheduled to make his debut Saturday night when the Cavs host the Bulls. Griffin said Lue is not an interim coach and has the “pulse of our team.” Blatt was 83-40 with the Cavs.

CRYSTAL LAKE – Before the start of the boys basketball season, the Fox Valley Conference Fox Division looked to be competitive, with four or five teams in the mix for the division title. The way Prairie Ridge has played during the first seven conference games, it might be a two-team race between the Wolves and Grayslake North, whose only FVC Fox loss was to Prairie Ridge. On Friday, the Wolves’ suffocating trap defense and proficient outside shooting propelled them to a 68-44 victory over Hampshire in an FVC Fox Division game at Prairie Ridge High School.

HOUSTON – Josh Smith is headed back to Houston after the Los Angeles Clippers traded him to the Rockets on Friday. Smith finished last season with the Rockets before signing with the Clippers in the offseason. Houston also received the draft rights to forward/ center Sergei Lishouk and cash considerations in the deal that gave Los Angeles draft rights to forward Maarty Leunen. Clippers coach and president of basketball operations Doc Rivers said Smith was a good teammate, but that the team wanted to go in another direction.

Red Raiders’ slide ends Huntley sinks 9 3s; losing streak over at 8 games By ALEX KANTECKI

[McHenry] has had our number. Both teams want to win so bad, these games have been so close, this one was no different.” Neither team led by more than six points. McHenry led early in the fourth on Colton Klein’s 3, but Luke Nolan hit a 3 after Buckner snagged an offensive rebound and kicked it out with 5:02 remaining. Gators guard Tim Siesennop, still hearing the “Airball!” chants from the McHenry cheering section after his first-half miss, swished a 3 from the left wing off another Buckner pass with 4:00 to go. “The bad airball, I understand that,” Siesennop said. “I hear it, but I just wash it out because I know I can make the shot. Wes gave me a great pass and after Luke had made it I felt confident and knocked it down. It felt great to silence them for the rest of the game.” McHenry sophomore Gavin Markgraff hit a 3 with 1:10 remaining to cut South’s

Warriors coach Tim Paddock called timeout with 6.3 seconds remaining and Markgraff, who led his team with 13 points, got an open look on a 3 from the right wing. After Markgraff’s shot went in and out, McHenry forward Matt Mohr got the rebound and sprinted to the right corner for a fadeaway 3 at the buzzer, but missed.

Continued from page C1 “Just no negative attitudes,” Krutwig said. “It’s easy for a team like that, that we, you know, ‘should’ beat. Credit to them, they did a really good job. But it’s easy for guys – they’re throwing in 3s, making 3s – and it’s easy for us to get negative like, ‘Come on, let’s go,’ but we didn’t get negative in the huddle at all. We just kept saying, ‘Let’s fight, let’s fight, let’s go,’ and eventually that started to fuel us a little bit and got us going.”

Prairie Ridge opened the fourth quarter with a 17-0 run and blew open the game. The Wolves were led by Christopher Bradshaw with 23 points. “Our defense really sets the tone,” Bradshaw said. “Coach Card always tells us that defense will fix the offense. We defended well tonight which gave us some good looks on offense.” The Whip-Purs played better in the second and third quarters after the slow start but ran out of gas in the fourth. Hampshire was led by Luke Tuttle with nine points.

Warriors coach Kerr returns against Pacers

OAKLAND, Calif. – Sure, coach Steve Kerr knocked down a half-court shot in Cleveland this week that pointed to him returning to full strength. He returned to the Golden State Warriors’ bench Friday night after a leave of absence dating to the first week of training camp in October as he recovered from complications after two back surgeries. The defending champion Warriors made the announcement Friday morning that Kerr would coach Golden State against Indiana at Oracle Arena, where the Warriors tried to win their 38th straight regular-season home game to tie the 1985-86 Celtics for third place on the all-time list for such unbeaten streaks. The Warriors went 39-4 in Kerr’s absence. They entered Friday 19-0 at home this season and had not lost at Oracle since a 113-111 overtime defeat to the Bulls on Jan. 27 last season.

to instant offense, and that was the case Friday. The Wolves forced Hampshire turnovers on the first three possessions and turned that into six quick points with 3-pointers by Payton Otto and Logan Card. The 3-point shot was working all quarter as the Wolves finished with five in the opening eight minutes. Hampshire (4-12, 2-5) settled in after the initial Prairie Ridge onslaught and shot 60 percent in the second quarter and trailed by 14 at halftime. At the half, Hampshire made adjustments on both offense and defense and was able to cut the lead to eight late in the third quarter. Wolves coach Corky Card said he knew the Whip-Purs would make a run. “Hampshire is difficult to play against. They have all the pieces you need to be a successful team,” Card

Jacobs was plagued by long scoreless stretches in the second and fourth quarters, allowing a hot-shooting C-G to lead most of the way. The Golden Eagles were down seven with a little more than a minute left in the fourth but cranked up the defensive pressure to key the late rally. “The pressure that they brought (at the end), you can’t simulate that in practice,” C-G coach Ralph Schuetzle said. Despite trailing by as much as five in overtime, the Trojans still got a good look at a game-winner. With 15 seconds left in the

extra period, the Trojans got the ball to Zach Beaugureau (who already had hit five 3-pointers on the night) in the right corner. His effort missed and, despite grabbing the rebound from a wild scramble, C-G couldn’t get a tying effort by Adam Loch to go down. Daniel Schmidt led the Trojans (4-14, 1-4 FVC Valley) with 16 points. Beaugureau scored 15 on five 3s, and Jimmy Clarke added eight. “It was a winnable game and they, their pressure, we lost a little bit of composure,” Schuetzle said.

CARPENTERSVILLE – Huntley’s Matt Seng wasn’t concerned about the final score Friday night against Dundee-Crown. Instead, the junior shooting guard focused on how the Red Raiders were able to snap an eight-game losing streak with a 55-37 win against their Fox Valley Conference Valley Division rivals. “We played as a team, and it showed,” Seng said. “I don’t even know what the final score was, but we’ve got to look back on this (result), build off it and be ready for [Cary-Grove] next week.” Seng and the rest of his Huntley teammates combined for nine 3-pointers against D-C, also holding a big advantage on the boards, 23-9 at halftime. The Raiders (7-14 overall, 2-3 FVC Valley) started the first and third quarters with back-to-back 3-pointers. Seng hit the second 3 both times, prompting the Chargers (1-15, 0-5) to burn a timeout early in each quarter. Nine of Huntley’s 17 field goals came from behind the arc. The Raiders led, 24-17, at halftime, but came out in the

Our bigs were talking, it was great, and we played with really good chemistry.” Huntley coach Will Benson figured the 3-pointer would be open against D-C, but was encouraged by the balance of his offense Friday. Huntley got to the free-throw line 16 times and hit 12 of them. “D-C plays really good helpside defense, they really pack

I thought we were fairly efficient, we took a couple of bad shots in the first half, but I don’t think we took many in the second half.” Four Raiders made shots from deep, with Seng, Spoeth and Makomborero Tizora all hitting multiple 3s. Tizora came off the bench and tied Seng for the team lead with 13 points and three 3s. “My role is to just energize the team, play the hardest I can and help our team, whatever it takes, win games,” Tizora said. “Even though we’ve been losing, we’ve kept our heads up and Coach Benson and his staff have done a great job of keeping us in there and motivated.” Jack Orndahl scored a game-high 18 points for D-C, but Chargers coach Lance Huber thought the turning point of the game came in the third quarter, when Huntley outscored his team, 23-12. “I thought Huntley did a great job to start the second half. They kind of just took it right to us,” Huber said. “They shot the ball great tonight, and we have a hard time scoring a lot of points. When (Huntley) got an 18-point lead, that’s when we chased.” Nick Shydlowski added six points for the Chargers, while Olalere Oladipo and Alec Coss each had six for Huntley.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL: NORTHERN ILLINOIS 58, TOLEDO 49

Huskies’ defense delivers

NIU stifles Toledo, improves home record to 13-0 MAC West standings

By JESSE SEVERSON

jseverson@shawmedia.com DeKALB – Northern Illinois men’s basketball coach Mark Montgomery wouldn’t call it ugly. The Huskies played lights out defense and made enough plays down the stretch for a 58-49 victory over Toledo on Friday night in front of a season-high crowd at the NIU Convocation Center. “Wins are – let’s use a football analogy. If we don’t pass the ball and run for 500 yards and we win, is everyone happy? I know I am,” Montgomery said. “Our team is built on defense and rebounding. ... Toledo was No. 1 in all the offensive categories, we’re No. 1 or No. 2 in the defensive categories. I love offense, but you have more off-nights on offense. You can’t have off-nights on defense.” The Huskies, who improved to 16-3 overall and 5-1 in the Mid-American Conference West, forced 18 turnovers – including 13 in the second half – and it was the first time Toledo had failed to break 50 points in a game since Feb. 15, 2014. It also is the first time the Huskies have swept Toledo (12-7 overall, 3-3 MAC West) during the same season since 2010-11.

The Huskies struggled shooting – finishing 31.1 percent and only 27.6 percent in the second half. However, senior guard Travon Baker had two of his game-high six 3-pointers at a crucial spot in the second half to give them an 11-point lead with less than five minutes left. Baker again led the team in scoring with 21 points on 6-for-11 shooting from 3-point range and finished with nine rebounds and two steals. He has 163 steals in his career, tying Ronald Minter (1993-97) for most in school history. “No doubt, defense won the game for us tonight,” Baker said. “We got stops.” Freshman Levi Bradley continued his stretch of solid play, finishing with 12 points and five rebounds in 20 minutes. In the past three games, he’s averaging 12.3 points, 5.7 rebounds on 62

percent shooting. “He’s practicing better, he’s watching film, he’s coming in extra, he’s playing with confidence,” Montgomery said of the 6-foot-7 Bradley. “When you make some plays, you kind of feel good about yourself. I reward him.” Junior guard Aaric Armstead scored 12 points with eight rebounds and provided strong defense against Toledo star guard Jonathan Williams. The Rockets junior – who came into the game averaging 18.6 points and scored 21 in the previous meeting against the Huskies, finished 1 for 12 with four points and three turnovers. “We’re a defensive team, and we pride ourselves on our defense,” Armstead said. [Williams] came out last time and had a couple of shots that he knocked down, tough shots. ... We were all determined not to let those shots happen this game.” NIU sophomore big man Marin Maric, who had two critical blocks in transition in the final minutes, was held to four points on 2-for-7 shooting and dealt with early foul trouble. The Huskies, who drew a season-high attendance of 3,166, improved to 13-0 at home and head back on the road – playing Tuesday night at Akron (14-4, 3-2 MAC East) .

Broncos forced to evolve Elite corners take stage By EDDIE PELLS

The Associated Press ENGLEWOOD, Colo. – John Elway’s mind was still racing and he was trying to figure out what, exactly, was missing after another rough ending last season. Hard to put his finger on it, but he knew this: “At least in the last game,” he said, “you want to feel like you go out kicking and screaming.” So, out went John Fox. In came Gary Kubiak. And Elway, who had famously coined the term “There’s no Plan B,” in Denver when he signed Peyton Manning a few years before, had unwittingly created a mantra for the 2015 Broncos. By most accounts, this year’s Broncos do, in fact, go out kicking and screaming on most weeks – showing a fire that was strangely lacking under the teams coached by Fox, especially in the final games of each of his four seasons. In three playoff losses and another in the Super Bowl, those teams lost by an average score of 38-17. How will this season end? And where? Still to be seen. But Elway has reason to believe the end, whether it comes Sunday against New England in the AFC title game, or two weeks from Sunday in the Super Bowl, will include a bit more kicking and screaming. This team is 10-3 in games de-

As last season progressed, and Manning wore down, Elway became more focused on building a team that wasn’t completely reliant on its QB throwing for 400 yards and four touchdowns every week. A running game was born. If nothing else, last season’s spiritless 24-13 loss to the Colts

Ragone reunites with Loggains as QBs coach By KEVIN FISHBAIN

kfishbain@chicagofootball.com The Bears hired Dave Ragone as their quarterbacks coach, the team announced Friday. Ragone spent the 2015 season with Washington as an offensive quality control coach. Washington finished 10th in the league in points scored, only its second top-10 finish in that category in the past 15 seasons. Kirk Cousins had a career year, completing a league-high 69.8 percent of his passes. Before his time in Washington, Ragone worked with current Bears offensive coordinator (and last year’s quarterbacks coach) Dowell Loggains in Tennessee. Ragone coached the Titans’ quarterbacks in 2013 and the wide receivers from 2011 to 2012. In 2013, when Ragone coached the QBs and Loggains called the plays, Jake Locker had a 99 passer rating before getting hurt.

AP file photo

Former Tennessee Titans quarterbacks coach Dave Ragone, shown in 2013, has been hired for the same position with the Bears. As a player, Ragone was a quarterback with the Texans from 2003 to 2005. He was the NFL Europe Offensive MVP in 2005 with the Berlin Thunder. Ragone played his college ball at Louisville. Ragone will work with a Bears quarterbacks group that includes Jay Cutler, David Fales and Matt Blanchard under contract for 2016.

in the playoffs, with Manning at less than 100 percent, served as confirmation the Broncos needed more than a Hall of Fame quarterback to win the Super Bowl. The story line felt very familiar to Elway, who won both his championships at the tail end of his career – while buttressed by a strong running game and defense. So he hired Kubiak, whose arrival brought with it a new focus on ball control and balance. The subsequent hiring of Wade Phillips as defensive coordinator made the Broncos more aggressive on that side of the ball. The defense was ranked first in yards allowed this season, scored five touchdowns and continually came up with timely, game-changing plays – see last week’s, fourth-quarter, momentum-shifting fumble recovery in the win over Pittsburgh. As the surest sign things had changed, the Broncos went 5-2 when Brock Osweiler started in place of Manning the second half of the season. Not one of those wins – or any of Denver’s 13 wins this season – has been a runaway. Not one included a 35- or 40-point outburst that became common over 2012, 2013 and 2014. “Every game is not going to be ‘win by 30,’ ” linebacker Danny Trevathan said. “We’ve got to go out there and fight. Our team does a good job of fighting through it and making ‘ways’ out of ‘no ways.’ ”

By BOB BAUM

The Associated Press TEMPE, Ariz. – Cornerbacks might have the toughest job in the NFL. They are expected to shadow a receiver, who knows where he’s going while the defender doesn’t, and the rules are stacked against them. Few truly excel at the job. This season, Arizona’s Patrick Peterson and Carolina’s Josh Norman might have been the best, and they will be plying their trade in the biggest game of their careers in Sunday’s NFC Championship game. Both made the AP’s All-Pro team, and they are “very” similar,” Cardinals coach Bruce Arians said. “They’re different styles of defenses,” he said, “but they’re long, they’re fast, they’re athletic and they’re tough.” Norman has the edge in statistics, but Peterson’s are misleading. He’s shut down some of the best receivers in the league in one-on-one coverage, and quarterbacks simply stopped throwing in his direction. Peterson has allowed two touchdowns this season – one on broken coverage at Chicago and the other, famously, on Aaron Rodgers’ Hail Mary to Jeff Janis at the end of regulation in Saturday’s overtime victory over Green Bay. Peterson and Carolina’s

Cardinals cornerback Patrick Peterson talks about facing the Panthers during a news conference Wednesday in Tempe, Ariz. Cam Newton go back to their SEC days, when Peterson played at LSU and Newton at Auburn. “You ask yourself what can’t he do,” Newton said. “He’s fast, he’s physical and when the ball is in the air, he’s not thinking to bat it down, he’s thinking that’s his ball, and you just have to have respect for a guy like that.” Arizona quarterback Carson Palmer was equally complimentary of Norman. “He’s got that build that I think everybody’s looking for,” Palmer said, “really long, gets a good extension with his arms, plays with his hands really, really well. He’s got topend speed. He doesn’t go for a deflection; he goes for the football and gets a deflection out of it, or an interception. He comes up in the run game and makes plays. If anybody reminds you of Richard Sherman, I think it’s him.” Norman had 55 tackles,

three forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries and four interceptions. All four came in the first four games of the season, and he returned two of them for touchdowns. “Josh Norman is a premier cornerback,” the Cardinals’ Larry Fitzgerald said. “There’s a reason he’s going to be the highest-paid free agent come this offseason. Whatever team he goes to, I hope it’s in the AFC, so we don’t have to deal with him. ... You watch him on tape, there’s nothing that you say, oh he struggles with this or he’s deficient at this. There’s nothing that shows you that.” Peterson, who had a 100yard interception return negated by a penalty last weekend, has made the Pro Bowl each of his five NFL seasons. But he had a subpar 2014, when he was a bit overweight and was diagnosed with diabetes. This year, he’s noticeably slimmer and faster. “Last year definitely wasn’t my best year, and this year it’s just getting back to Patrick Peterson, for the most part,” he said. “I’ve been All-Pro before. I’ve been recognized as one of the best cornerbacks before, been to five Pro Bowls, so it’s not a shock or surprise that I’m getting my recognition back.” Just what their exact roles will be on Sunday is something of a mystery.

PANTHERS 4, BLACKHAWKS 0

Hawks look lifeless, drop 2nd straight Fortunes turn after 12-game win streak By MARK LAZERUS

mlazerus@suntimes.com SUNRISE, Fla. – The Blackhawks didn’t want to say it, but they didn’t need to. Their effort and their body language Friday night spoke volumes. The All-Star break can’t come soon enough. A 12-game winning streak dissolved into a two-game losing streak in about a 27-hour span in Florida, capped by Friday’s miserable 4-0 loss to the Panthers at BB&T Center. The Hawks were overmatched Thursday night in Tampa Bay. They looked lifeless Friday night in Sunrise, unable to do much of anything offensively against Roberto Luongo (27 saves) to offset a poor night in goal by Scott Darling. “We definitely didn’t have much in the energy depart-

ment,” coach Joel Quenneville said. As brutal as the Hawks’ effort was Friday night, it was at the very least understandable. It was their 15th game in the past 27 days, and their 25th in the past 48. It’s by far the most challenging stretch of their schedule, with plenty of travel and back-to-back sets, and with only one two-day break since Christmas. The schedule has been so lopsided, there are four teams in the league with six games in hand on the Hawks. And they still have a home game against the bruising Blues on Sunday, and a quick trip to Carolina for a game Tuesday before the five-day All-Star break mercifully arrives. And whether that’s the reason, and whether it’s a valid excuse, in the past two days, the Hawks sure looked like a team

that finally was feeling the effects. “Regardless of what our situation is, we ran into two pretty hungry teams this week,” captain Jonathan Toews said. “They played hard all over the rink, and for the second night in a row, we didn’t match that speed and that pace. I think we’re pretty deserving of that result. There’s no excuses. We can try and find ways, even if the games are adding up and maybe our legs are heavy here and there.” The Panthers had this one all the way, holding the Hawks without a shot through the first eight minutes; the Hawks had a season-low 18 shots in Tampa, and haven’t scored in more than 119 minutes. Reilly Smith blew past Brent Seabrook and AP photo beat Darling on the short side at Florida Panthers center Jonathan Huberdeau falls over Blackhawks goalie Scott Darling in the third period 10:19 to give Florida a 1-0 lead.

Bill Johnson raises his arms Feb. 16, 1984, to celebrate his gold medal in the Olympic downhill in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina.

BILL JOHNSON: 1960-2016

Brash Olympic champion dies after long illness By PAT GRAHAM and ERIC WILLEMSEN The Associated Press

Bill Johnson craved speed – the faster, the better. He stole cars as a kid, got in trouble for it and was ordered by a judge to make a choice: ski school or jail. Johnson picked the slopes and wound up taking the sport by storm. The brash skier had movie-star looks and a personality to match. He won over legions of fans by backing up his braggadocio and becoming the first American to capture the Olympic downhill title. Johnson died after a long illness, the U.S. ski team said Friday from Kitzbuehel, Austria. He was 55. He died Thursday at an assisted living facility in Gresham, Oregon, where he has been staying since a major stroke a few years ago steadily took away the use of most of his body. The daredevil skier lived life on the edge, with a swagger and a rebellious attitude that instantly made him a favorite among fans. So sure of himself on the slopes, Johnson won Olympic gold at the 1984 Sarajevo Games after telling everyone he was going to do so. He appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated after that victory, a shot of him flying through the air in a perfect tuck position, his gaze intently focused down the race course, and the caption reading, “Flat

out for Glory.” That’s the way Johnson attacked a mountain – the Bode Miller of skiing long before Miller. Johnson had a tattoo on his arm that read, “Ski to die.” “Bill Johnson was cut from a different cloth,” American ski great Phil Mahre said in a statement. “Billy was a fighter and went about things his way. That toughness allowed him to reach heights in the skiing world that few will ever accomplish.” Four-time overall World Cup champion Lindsey Vonn echoed that thought. “He was an incredible legend in our sport, so I just hope he rests in peace, and my condolences to his family,” Vonn said. In 2001, Johnson tried to recapture his glory days and made a comeback at the U.S. championships at age 40. But Johnson wiped out during a practice run, suffering a traumatic brain injury that erased almost a decade of memories. He also had to relearn how to walk, talk and eat again. Over the years, he gradually improved and even returned to the slopes on a recreational basis. Then, in June 2010, Johnson had a stroke. Little by little his body weakened, leaving him with only the use of his left hand. That was his steering hand, the one he used to race his motorized chair down the hallways at the care facility, so fast that nurses had to tell him to slow down.

MELBOURNE, Australia – Two-time Australian Open champion Victoria Azarenka walked onto Rod Laver Arena knowing the No. 2- and No. 3-ranked players were already out of the tournament and that the draw appeared to be opening up in her favor. She blinked at first, when Japanese qualifier Naomi Osaka broke her at love in the first game of their third-round match, but recovered quickly and responded with a 6-1, 6-1 win in 56 minutes. The 14th-seeded Azarenka, back in form after two injury-interrupted seasons, has dropped only five games in three matches at Melbourne Park after warming up with a title at the Brisbane International. Azarenka had 24 winners to only four for Osaka, who was making her Grand Slam main draw debut. “She’s a little unpredictable and she surprised me with her game,” said Azarenka, who signed off with a now-customary “dab” and discussion on dancing and music. She next will play No. 48-ranked Barbora Strycova, who upset third-seeded Gar-

There’s three Australian Open champions remaining in the women’s draw – sixtime winner Serena Williams and 2008 winner Maria Sharapova are on the other half and could meet in the quarterfinals. Muguruza’s rapid rise to the No. 3 ranking sharpened the focus on her run in Australia, attention that only increased after No. 2-ranked Simona Halep and No. 8 Venus Williams, a seven-time major

winner, lost in the first round. It didn’t help Muguruza, however, with her loss to Strycova extending a disappointing follow-up in majors since a breakthrough run to last year’s Wimbledon final. She lost in the second round at the U.S. Open and her third-round exit here was worse than her two previous trips to Melbourne Park, where she reached the fourth round. “Clearly not my best, for sure. I think today is a very bad day, you know, at the office,” she said. “I just couldn’t

find the court, my shots. Yeah. Didn’t really find my game.” Muguruza misfired frequently on her groundstrokes, finishing with 32 unforced errors, and appeared to be lethargic at stages of the match. Her loss left No. 7 Angelique Kerber as the highest-ranked player in the bottom half of the women’s draw. Strycova has only been past the third round once before in 38 Grand Slams, and that was when she reached the quarterfinals of Wimbledon in 2014. Knowing her next rival was likely to be the growing favorite, Azarenka, Strycova decided to stay in the moment. “I will enjoy myself first because I beat No. 3 in the world,” she said. Johanna Konta, who beat Venus Williams, became the first British woman to reach the fourth round at the Australian Open since Joe Durie in 1987, giving the Brits and Aussies something to celebrate. Konta, who was born in Sydney and became a British citizen in 2012, beat Denisa Allertova, 6-2, 6-2, and next will play No. 21-seeded Ekaterina Makarova, a semifinalist here last year, who had a 6-3, 6-2 win over No. 9 Karolina Pliskova.

Boston uses late 8-0 Blizzard wreaks havoc run to put away Bulls EAST COAST WINTER STORM

with sports scheduling By JOHN KEKIS

The Associated Press A blizzard moving into the Eastern United States disrupted the sports schedule Friday, complicating team travel and blanketing the field where Sunday’s NFC Championship game will be played with a wintry mix. In Charlotte, North Carolina, crews scrambled to keep up with the storm, clearing snow and sleet from the tarp covering the Bank of America Stadium field. The Carolina Panthers host the Arizona Cardinals there in the NFC Championship game Sunday night. Fans from afar who planned to make the trip were forced to scramble, too. Delta was among a handful of airlines that canceled all flights to and from Charlotte on Friday because of the storm. The forecast for the game was calling for clear skies, with temperatures expected to be in the mid-20s. Two NBA games and one in the NHL were postponed, as were several college basketball games and NASCAR’s Hall of Fame induction ceremony. The NBA said Boston’s game at Philadelphia sched-

uled for Saturday night will be made up at 6 p.m. Sunday. The Utah Jazz’s game at Washington, scheduled for Saturday, will be reset at a later date. The NHL initially shifted the starting time of Friday’s game between the Washington Capitals and Anaheim, moving it up two hours to 4 p.m. The league then postponed it Friday but did not yet have a makeup date. A decision regarding Sunday’s game between the visiting Pittsburgh Penguins and Capitals will be announced Saturday morning. Up to 2 feet of snow was predicted from what the National Weather Service was calling a “potentially crippling winter storm.” A state of emergency was declared in Pennsylvania for Saturday. The storm was expected to drop 12 to 18 inches of snow and create possible blizzard conditions beginning Friday evening. NASCAR called off Friday night’s ceremony in Charlotte honoring Terry Labonte, Jerry Cook, Bobby Isaac, Bruton Smith and Curtis Turner until Saturday afternoon. “OK it’s finally snowing,” NASCAR star Dale Earnhardt Jr. tweeted “I was the dummy who didn’t get the extra bread. Waiting out my repercussion.”

• BULLS

Continued from page C1 same page, we’re not communicating, and then on top of everything else we don’t get to the loose ball like the other team does. “It’s time to stop talking about it. We’ve been talking about this all year long now.” With good reason yet again against the Celtics. First quarter? Down 3423 and looking lifeless in not only defending, but ball security. Then it’s the usual third-quarter push in which the Bulls outscored Boston (23-21) 33-26, but use way too much energy to get back into the game. A few key plays late, like allowing Boston to go on an 8-0 run after it cut the lead to just one with 4:43 left, and yet another loss to drop them to 24-18 on the season. Same script, different game. “Until we understand the urgency we have to come out with, especially at the defensive end, we’re going to find ourselves in the same position,” Hoiberg said. “There’s such a fine line in this business of being a great team and a very average team. And we teeter on that line.” And although Butler was putting the blame on the

Derrick Rose also got the pass, again aggressive all night in scoring 27 points. No, this fell on the likes of Nikola Mirotic, Doug McDermott and Tony Snell, who combined for seven points and 2-for-9 shooting. “It’s the first time I’ve been on a team like this, where we’re going through this problem,” Rose said of the inconsistent play. “I’m trying to take all of it in. At the same time, digest it, look at it from afar, but we have to figure a way. “We’re not giving that extra effort to be a championship team right now.”

Tomboy’s unhappiness may be start of gender change Dear Abby: I just had a big fight with my best friend. Her name is “Alex.” There was a lot of cursing. The argument was about her wanting to be transgender. I didn’t agree with it, and she got mad at me. Alex is a tomboy. Today she cut her hair short – too short for my taste – and she keeps complaining about how she hates being a girl. She hates her period and is afraid of having breasts. It has started to annoy me. A lot. Alex and I have been friends since kindergarten, and I’m scared our friendship might end. I don’t know if

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips all this sounds childish, but please help. I don’t want to lose my best friend. – Vegas Girl Dear Vegas Girl: If you really want to keep Alex as your best friend, go online and start researching what it means to be transgender. She might hate her female characteristics because she feels trapped in the wrong body. Being transgender is much more complicated than cutting one’s hair and being

a tomboy. What’s going on with your friend isn’t a frivolous decision. Alex is going to need understanding and emotional support during this process, and if you can’t stand beside her, you will lose your best friend. Dear Abby: I was raised in the Christian faith by my pastor parents. As I reached my early teens, I realized those beliefs didn’t really fit, and I gradually stopped attending church. I stayed away all through college. My time away only solidified, in terms of belief, Christianity wasn’t for me. After I graduated this

Asthma, other lung diseases diagnosed by breathing tests Note to readers: This column is an update of one that ran originally in November 2012. Dear Dr. K: My doctor or-

dered breathing tests to see if I have asthma. He didn’t tell me what it’s like to go through this. Can you explain? Dear Reader: The tests your doctor almost surely is referring to are pulmonary function tests. The tests are painless. You breathe in and out through a tube that is connected to various machines. One of the tests, called spirometry, measures how forcefully you can inhale and exhale while taking as large a breath as possible. Give this test your best effort. If you don’t, the test result can make it look like you have a problem. And then the doctor may order treatment you don’t need. So try hard. A separate test will measure how much air your lungs can hold. It also measures how much air is left in your lungs when you breathe out as much as you can. This may be done in one of two ways. One way is to have you inhale a small amount of a specific gas (such as helium). Another way to measure

ASK DR. K Dr. Anthony Komaroff your lung volume is for you to sit inside an airtight cubicle. You breathe in and out through a pipe in the wall. Your breathing will cause the air pressure inside the box to change. This pressure change is measured and used to calculate the amount of air you are breathing. Your doctor also will want to measure how efficiently your lungs deliver oxygen and other gases to your bloodstream. To measure this, you breathe in a small quantity of carbon monoxide (too little to do any harm). The amount of carbon dioxide you breathe back out is measured. Your ability to absorb carbon monoxide is representative of your ability to absorb other gases into your bloodstream. Today, doctors can quite accurately measure the oxygen in your blood with a simple device that clips to your finger. The old way of doing it required sticking a needle into an artery; you should be glad it can be done so simply now.

What do doctors learn from pulmonary function testing? As in your case, they can learn whether you have signs of asthma. They also can determine if you have chronic obstructive pulmonary (or lung) disease, known as COPD or COLD. This condition is seen most often in long-term smokers. They also can measure the severity of a group of diseases that make the lung stiff, known collectively as chronic restrictive lung disease. You should hear back about the test results within a week. If your doctor finds you do have asthma, he or she may ask you to do your own simple pulmonary function testing at home. To do this, you use a peak flow meter. This is a small tube that you hold in your hand. You blow into it as hard as you can. With this home test, as with the spirometry test, it is really important you try as hard as you can. Otherwise, it might indicate a problem that leads your doctor to prescribe treatment you don’t need.

year, I realized I missed the community and ritual of the faith and the church. There are a number of churches in my area, but I feel guilty attending one when I don’t believe in the same things as the other members. My family always taught me to be considerate of the beliefs of the people around me, and it seems dishonest to go to a service and listen to prayers my heart doesn’t embrace. I’d still like to attend church. Have you any suggestions for what might be a good course of action? Should I go to church or stay home? – Unorthodox In Ohio

Dear Unorthodox: You don’t have to stay home. Instead, explore a denomination that has no dogma or creed. One in particular, Unitarian Universalism, has been mentioned before in this column. Unitarian Universalists believe in the dignity and worth of every human being, and encourage and support others in following their personal spiritual paths. If you would like more information, visit www.uua.org. Dear Abby: The mother of a friend recently passed away. I wanted to send a nice plant to the funeral home and was shocked at how much it cost

to have a small plant delivered. Is it a “no-no” to buy a beautiful plant and deliver it to the funeral home yourself? – Budget-Minded Dear Budget-Minded: If it’s a “no-no,” I never heard about it. If having the plant delivered would stretch your budget, by all means take it over before the viewing. It’s the thought that counts, and your wish to commemorate the death of your friend’s mother is thoughtful and beautiful. • Write Dear Abby at www. DearAbby.com or P.O.

Teenager protests parents’ TV rules by slacking off studies Dr. Wallace: My parents read somewhere students who watch television during the school week have lower grades than those who don’t. Now I’m not allowed to watch television during the week unless it’s something important. I feel ripped off. I’m a B student and that’s not too shabby. My parents think now I’ll bring home all A’s. Sorry, but this won’t happen. I’ll be so upset with their rule I’ll probably bring home C’s. Please enlighten my parents so they understand keeping me from watching television during the week will not make me an A student.

amounts of television – especially educational programs – still can be excellent students. But those who watch an excessive amount of television are unable to spend adequate time on their schoolwork, and thus become underachievers. Moderate TV viewers – those who view between one and two hours a day – have enough time for other productive activities. While television viewing can have a negative influence on students, educational programs can reinforce positive values and impart knowledge on innumerable subjects. Watching television isn’t a problem in and of itself, but becoming addicted to it is.

“BRIDGE OF SPIES”

“THE BIG SHORT”

STARRING: Christian Bale, Steve Carell, Ryan Gosling, Brad Pitt

PLOT: Four denizens of the world

of high-ﬁnance predict the credit and housing bubble collapse of the mid-2000s and decide to take on the big banks for their greed and lack of foresight. RATED: R for pervasive language and some sexuality/nudity TIME: 2 hours, 10 minutes VERDICT: In Adam McKay’s comic and clear-eyed adaption of Michael Lewis’ “The Big Short,” a handful of finance speculators – outsiders and oddballs – predict a downturn in the housing market only to realize, to their horror and immense profit, they’ve effectively bet against America, and won. It’s a rollicking, outrage-fueled odyssey through the financial collapse of 2008, from the carefree offices on Wall Street to the vacant subdivisions in Florida, that gradually reveals not just a market bubble but a colossally bankrupt system and a nation that blissfully teetered into absurdity. As one of the preeminent comedy directors, McKay has shifted into a more realistic, dramatic world only to find a farce too ridiculous for satire. And as anyone who has been paying attention to McKay’s comedies can attest, his humor always has come laced with biting political subtext: the TV news of “Anchorman,” George W. Bush-era America in “Talladega Nights,” white collar crime in “The Other Guys.” He has kept his loose and antic style, leaving his starry cast – including Steve Carell, Christian Bale, Ryan Gosling and Brad Pitt – ample room for improvising. They are part of the enticements of “The Big Short,” which strains hard to make the complex finance of its subject digestible and entertaining. Our central characters are a foursome of (mostly) unrelated investors. There’s the glass-eyed, heavy metal-listening trader Michael Burry (Bale), the brashtalking banker Jared Vennett (Gosling); a cynical hedge fund manager Mark Baum (Carell); and two young investors (John Magaro and Finn Wittrock) who are mentored by Ben Rickert (Pitt), a retired veteran who now disdains Wall Street.– The Associated Press

“DIRTY GRANDPA”

STARRING: Robert De Niro, Zac Efron, Zoey Deutch

PLOT: Right before his wedding, an

uptight guy is tricked into driving his grandfather, a perverted former Army general, to Florida for spring break. RATED: R for crude sexual content throughout, graphic nudity, and for language and drug use RUNNING TIME: 1 hour, 42 minutes VERDICT: I’m embarrassed to admit it, but I laughed more than I thought I would at the crass comedy “Dirty Grandpa.” But the fun ended 15 minutes in, because the same gags began to

recycle throughout the movie. You only can take so much of a randy Robert De Niro joking about “taking a number 3” or other stuff that rhymes with truck that I can’t repeat. Let’s just say all Grandpa wants to do is truck, truck, truck. In a nutshell, De Niro, the grandfather in the movie’s title, is on spring break in Daytona with his stiff and square grandson, Jason (Zac Efron), who’s wedding to the uptight Meredith (Julianne Hough) is days away. Jason is wound so tight one character calls him a “Mitt Romney Terminator.” Grandpa makes it his mission to course-correct Jason’s life. Circumstances send Jason on the road with Grandpa, who calls the pink Mini Cooper they’re riding in a “giant tampon.” Cue every misogynistic, micro-bikini, pedophilic, geriatric and overall buffoonery of spring break cliché you can think of. About the only clever line is a shot at Florida’s lax gun laws. Along the way, Grandpa and Jason meet cute with a beautiful flower-child, Shadia (Zoey Deutch), a girl who’s the 180-degree opposite of the self-absorbed Meredith. Lucky for Grandpa, her friend, the sex-pot, Lenore (Aubrey Plaza), has a thing for cardcarrying AARP members. How these two actors got trapped in this movie escapes me. A duo of first-timers – writer John M. Phillips and director Dan Mazer – pound another nail into the coffin that holds De Niro’s crumbling career. Efron’s young enough to recover and proved in “Neighbors” there is something of substance behind those beautiful blues. The filmmakers try to infuse some half-hearted redemption story into the mix, but it never registers past eye-rolling because you don’t give a truck about these underdeveloped characters and their cookie-cutter sidekicks. Jeffrey Bowyer-Chapman is the gay friend, because every two-bit comedy needs to include barbs about homosexuals. Adam Pally is mildly amusing as oafish cousin Nick. Efron gets nearly naked and does the Macarena. It’s kinda awesome. What isn’t, is watching a horny De Niro creeping on Plaza’s sex-hungry co-ed. Gag me with a spoon. – More Content Now

“THE 5TH WAVE”

STARRING: Chloë Grace Moretz, Matthew Zuk, Gabriela Lopez

PLOT: Four waves of increasingly

deadly alien attacks have left most of Earth decimated. Cassie is on the run, desperately trying to save her younger brother. RATED: PG-13 for violence and destruction, some sci-ﬁ thematic elements, language and brief teen partying RUNNING TIME: 1 hour, 42 minutes VERDICT: One major reason youngadult fiction is so alluring – when done well – is it gives youngsters such a fulfilling scenario of independence from those older adults in their lives

who always think they’re smarter and stronger. That scenario is front and center in “The 5th Wave,” where every adult is either evil, inhuman (literally) or nice but helpless. It’s truly up to the young – make that the young, buff and good-looking – to save humanity. But if this movie, starring Chloe Grace Moretz as the latest plucky teen to fight for our species, performs its appointed task with efficiency, it does little more. Yes, the winsome Moretz is a fine, if one-note, reluctant heroine (the film’s based on Rick Yancey’s best-selling novel, and directed by J Blakeson). But the script has more than a few lines that should have been sent directly to rewrite. Not that this will deter fans of Yancey’s book, which is the beginning of a trilogy, meaning we’re sure to see more of Moretz’s Cassie in years to come. She is, when we first meet her, a pretty perfect Ohio high schooler. Yes, she goes to a party and drinks beer and crushes on a cute football player named Ben. But then she goes home early and sings her little brother Sam to sleep. The next day, life changes forever. A giant alien craft appears in the sky. For days, the Others, as the aliens are known, don’t make a move. Then come the four waves. First all power and technology is knocked out. Then giant tsunamis are unleashed, killing billions. Then there’s crippling disease, transmitted by birds and killing countless more. The fourth wave brings attackers to Earth in unexpected form, all building up to the climactic fifth wave. Meanwhile, Cassie, her brother and father have left home for a refugee camp. When the U.S. Army’s Col. Vosch orders youngsters onto a school bus to a military base, the family reluctantly agrees. But Cassie and Sam are separated when Cassie runs back for Sam’s stuffed toy. Cassie is forced to follow on foot, a journey of many miles. On the way, she reluctantly kills a man, nearly gets killed herself by shooting attackers and wakes up, wounded, in the house of a very cute guy named Evan (Alex Roe). Evan’s good looks, medical expertise and fighting skills almost make up for the fact we can’t figure out quite who he is. But that’s a theme of the movie, people not being who they say they are – or not even being people, actually. The final act of the film sees Cassie and football player Ben (played by Nick Robinson, and recalling Nick Jonas) uniting to try to repel the evil forces from Earth. Between the shooting and the running, these two have a sweet moment. Cassie explains she was named after a constellation in the sky, Cassiopeia. Ben explains he was named after Ben & Jerry’s ice cream. It’s a relief for us to actually laugh, and more such moments would have been welcome. It’s fine to save humanity and all, but what’s humanity without its sense of humor?– The Associated Press

“THE REVENANT”

STARRING: Tom Hardy, Domhnall

Starring Lauren Cohan, “The Boy” is a horror movie about an American nanny who is shocked to find her new English family’s boy is actually a life-sized doll. After violating a list of strict rules, disturbing events make her believe the doll is really alive.

Gleeson, Leonardo DiCaprio PLOT: In the 1820s, a frontiersman named Hugh Glass sets out on a path of vengeance against those who left him for dead after a bear mauling. RATED: R for strong frontier combat and violence including gory images, a sexual assault, language and brief nudity RUNNING TIME: 2 hours, 36 minutes VERDICT: Tip for filmmakers heading into the wild: Beware of bears. Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu’s frontier survival saga “The Revenant,” filmed in the Canadian Rockies, seeks to join the ranks of Werner Herzog’s “Fitzcarraldo” and Francis Ford Coppola’s “Apocalypse Now”: movies that take some of their primal madness from their raw, remote natural landscapes. The making of those movies are mythic tales in their own right, and “The Revenant” arrives with its own tall tales of on-set tussles and actor derring-do. After confining himself largely to the

interior of a Broadway theater – and the psyche of Michael Keaton’s Riggan Thomson – in the best picture-winning “Birdman,” Inarritu and his maverick cinematographer, Emmanuel Lubezki, have opted for the open air of the West, circa 1823, in a loose adaptation of Michael Punke’s 2002 novel about the frontiersman Hugh Glass (Leonardo DiCaprio). The result is some of the most ravishing filmmaking of the year, or any year. DiCaprio isn’t the film’s true star; it’s Inarritu’s camera. “The Revenant” earns your admiration, only to lose it by continually insisting upon it. There are occasional whispery flashbacks and surreal dream sequences that attempt to give the film more spiritual underpinnings that are little match for the movie’s relentlessly visceral reality. DiCaprio gives an often wordless, exceptionally committed performance of Glass’ great determination. But no one is more in rhapsody over the manliness of the mission than Inarritu. His bleak and beautiful movie is overwrought, but it’s also soaked through with the brutality of the frontier and the tragedy of its indigenous people. Native Americans traverse “The Revenant,” carrying the deepest horrors of the land. It’s something to contemplate, when not ooo-ing at the spectacular set pieces.–

“RIDE ALONG 2”

STARRING: Ice Cube, Kevin Hart, Tika

Sumpter PLOT: As his wedding day approaches, Ben heads to Miami with his soonto-be brother-in-law James to bring down a drug dealer who’s supplying the dealers of Atlanta with product. RATED: PG-13 for sequences of violence, sexual content, language and some drug material TIME: 1 hour, 41 minutes VERDICT: With the same brand of silliness and a bit more creativity than the original, “Ride Along 2” doesn’t pretend to be anything more than what it is: a sequel designed to offer a second helping of exactly what worked the first time around. The original “Ride Along” topped the box office for three straight weeks. It focused on Ben (Kevin Hart), an excitable video-game junkie and wannabe cop, and his

attempts to impress his disinterested future brother-in-law, James (Ice Cube), a hard-nosed police detective. Hart is goofy and slapstick; Cube is stern and annoyed. Producers reprise the formula and return to many of the original film’s artists for the sequel, including screenwriters Phil Hay and Matt Manfredi and director Tim Story. This time around, Ben is a fresh graduate of the police academy a week away from his wedding to Angela (Tika Sumpter). He’s still trying to impress her brother, James, who still can’t stand him. At Angela’s urging, James reluctantly agrees to bring Ben on a police mission from Atlanta to Miami, where James is on the hunt for a suspicious hacker, AJ (Ken Jeong). The plot is too complicated to explain (there’s government corruption and shipping fraud involved), but it doesn’t even really matter. It’s just about setting up even more elaborate situations for Hart to be a goofball to Cube’s straight man. The actors deliver, just like in the last movie and others where they play similar roles. Although “Ride Along 2” has fancier trim than the original, it’s really just the same old ride. But if you thought the first one was fun, taking another spin won’t disappoint.– The Associated Press

“13 HOURS: THE SECRET SOLDIERS OF BENGHAZI” STARRING: John Krasinski, Pablo Schreiber, James Badge Dale

PLOT: An American ambassador

is killed during an attack at a U.S. compound in Libya as a security team struggles to make sense out of the chaos. RATED: R for strong combat violence throughout, bloody images and language RUNNING TIME: 2 hours, 24 minutes VERDICT: The most surprising thing about “13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi” is how Michael Bay makes 144 minutes pass so quickly. His excitable camera is always doing something, whether shaking with hand-held authenticity to capture moments in battle or floating through scenes instead of staying static. It gives the entire experience a waterfall effect. This can be a little dizzying, but

it certainly keeps the energy up. “13 Hours,” which Chuck Hogan adapted from Mitchell Zuckoff’s book, is about many things, but Bay tries to zero in on that moment when those six contract soldiers tried to do the right thing in a difficult situation. It is neither as grossly gratuitous as Peter Berg’s “Lone Survivor” nor as gripping as Ridley Scott’s “Black Hawk Down.” Instead, “13 Hours” is a bombastic, vulgar and often thrilling exercise in red, white and blue machismo that relies too much on romanticized video game aesthetics and corny sentimentality to be a great film. Bay’s heroes are the brutes – the big, hulking, bearded security guys who know the country and the threats more keenly than anyone. There’s Jack Silva (John Krasinski), Tyrone “Rone” Woods (James Badge Dale), Kris “Tanto” Paronto (Pablo Schreiber), Dave “Boon” Benton (David Denman), John “Tig” Tiegen (Dominic Fumusa) and Mark “Oz” Geist (Max Martini). The actors are charismatic, but they all seem more like types than real people. It’s ridiculous and over the top, but it sets up Bay’s point – that the soldiers know best and no one else can see as clearly what’s going on in Libya. Depending on what you’re looking for, “13 Hours” can function as a decent actioner, a tribute to those who died, an indictment of the power structure or all three. It’s not a subtle movie, nor is it anywhere close to being as elegant and dread-soaked as something like Kathryn Bigelow’s “Zero Dark Thirty.” In illustrating extremely chaotic military situations, filmmakers have a choice: They can provide perspective those on the ground didn’t necessarily have, or they can make it as disorienting as they imagine it was for those experiencing it. Bay chose the latter, and it’s hard not to see that as a mistake. The parts that are clear feel like a video game as the guys on the roof pick off approaching threats one by one. There can be compelling drama in a bureaucratic mess, and it would have been interesting if “13 Hours” engaged more with that, but you can’t help feeling “13 Hours” is going for thrills more than insight. This movie is a bellowing love letter to the guys on the ground, and it sees them as they probably want to be seen.– The Associated Press

MARIAH CAREY ENGAGED TO AUSTRALIAN BILLIONAIRE

WORTH TALKIN’ ABOUT

Saturday, January 23, 2016 • Section C • Page 8

NEW YORK – Mariah Carey’s new “Vision of Love” is Australian billionaire James Packer. The singer’s representative said Friday that Carey and Packer got engaged Thursday in New York City. The marriage will be Carey’s third. She previously was married to actor-comedian Nick Cannon and record executive Tommy Mottola. Forbes said 48-year-old Packer’s net worth is $3.5 billion. He was ranked fourth on the publication’s 2015 list of Australia’s richest people. Packer has three kids. The 45-year-old Carey gave birth to twins in 2011.

Film academy announces reforms to diversify

The film academy is pledging to double the number of female and minority members by 2020, and will immediately diversify its leadership by adding three new seats to its board of governors. Academy President Cheryl Boone Isaacs announced the changes Friday, following a weeklong storm of criticism and calls for an Oscar boycott after academy members nominated an all-white slate of actors for the second year in a row. “The Academy is going to lead and not wait for the industry to catch up,” she said in a statement. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences’ 51-member board of governors unanimously approved a series of reforms late Thursday to “begin the process of significantly changing our membership composition,” Isaacs said. The number of minorities currently serving as members of the academy has not been revealed. Several of Hollywood’s most prominent African-Americans, including Will Smith and Spike Lee, have said they won’t attend this year’s Oscars, which is to be hosted by Chris Rock. Other changes include limiting members’ voting status to a period of 10 years, to be extended only if the individual remains active in film during that decade. Lifetime voting rights will be granted only to Academy Award nominees and winners, and to members after three 10-year voting terms. Previously, all active members received lifetime voting rights.

Adele’s ‘Hello’ fastest to reach 1 billion views on YouTube

Upcoming Cosby hearing to focus only on nonprosecution claim

ABC names Martha Raddatz co-host of ‘This Week’

LOS ANGELES – Adele has outpaced Psy on the race to 1 billion views on YouTube. The streaming service said the music video for “Hello” greeted its 1 billionth view in 87 days, breaking the 158-day record previously held by Psy’s “Gangnam Style.” YouTube said 17 videos have reached 1 billion views. Other music videos in the billionaire club include Maroon 5’s “Sugar,” Major Lazer’s “Lean On,” OneRepublic’s “Counting Stars,” LMFAO’s “Party Rock” and Sia’s “Chandelier.” YouTube said the feat still is rare, but newer music videos such as Katy Perry’s “Roar” and Taylor Swift’s “Blank Space” reached it at a faster pace than older ones such as Justin Bieber’s “Baby” and Eminem’s “Love The Way You Lie.”

NORRISTOWN, Pa. – The judge weighing pretrial issues in Bill Cosby’s criminal case will limit a Feb. 2 hearing to the fight over whether the comedian had a “nonprosecution” agreement with a district attorney. Cosby’s lawyers want the criminal sex assault case dismissed on several grounds. They said Cosby was promised he would never be prosecuted, cannot defend a 12-year-old case, and he was charged by an overzealous prosecutor. District Attorney Kevin Steele wants those complaints dismissed so the judge can hear preliminary evidence that day. But Montgomery County Judge Steven O’Neill said Friday he only will hear arguments on the nonprosecution issue. Ex-District Attorney Bruce Castor supports the defense theory. He said he promised Cosby’s now-deceased lawyer that Cosby’s testimony in a civil lawsuit wouldn’t be used against the TV icon. But Steele said there’s nothing in writing.

NEW YORK – Toni Braxton has opened her life to the cameras on the WEtv reality series “Braxton Family Values,” but she’s exploring more of her past in a Lifetime movie debuting Saturday. “Unbreak My Heart,” named after one of her Grammy-winning hits, takes a look at the 48-year-old singer’s career, which spans 23 years. The TV movie (airing at 7 p.m.), which she executive-produced, stars Lex Scott Davis as Braxton. “I think it’s important that when I’m telling my story ... I wanted to be honest with myself. Not only did people hurt me, but I hurt people, too,” she said in a recent interview. “And I wanted them to go along with me during my struggle. I wanted them to feel like they were sitting right there beside me through all the ups and downs.”

NEW YORK – ABC News is appointing Martha Raddatz as co-anchor of the Sunday morning public affairs show “This Week,” where she alternates hosting weeks with George Stephanopoulos. ABC News President James Goldston’s announcement Friday made formal what has been the practice over the past few months. Stephanopoulos has cut back on his weekend schedule since he co-hosts “Good Morning America” during the week. Raddatz also is ABC News’ chief global affairs correspondent, and her work in that job often is seen on “This Week” on weeks when she’s not the host. The ABC anchors have moved to take the show’s segments on the road more often. Chief White House correspondent Jonathan Karl will be the substitute host on weeks when the other two aren’t available.

SUDOKU

TODAY - Turn a negative into a positive by accepting change and working with what you are given. Don’t let discord drag you down or hold you back. It’s up to you to embrace change by using innovative ideas to move forward. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Don’t get into a dispute that will waste your time and leave you feeling anxious. Do your best to nurture the relationships that count by offering love and affection. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- If you please others, you will make a lasting impression. A financial gain or gift is heading your way. Don’t be afraid to take an unusual approach to get what you want. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You are disciplined, inventive and highly emotional. Try not to let a misunderstanding ruin your day or dampen your ability to be creative. Less talk and more romance will pay off. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You can accomplish whatever you set out to do as long as you are energetic and focused. An emotional matter can be resolved if you compromise and work as a team player. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- An older relative or friend will offer an interesting alternative. Follow his or her advice to help resolve a problem you are facing with someone you love. Change will be beneficial. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Do something that will tire you out. A physical challenge or passionate encounter will help you bypass an emotional display that has the potential to force an unwanted change. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Don’t wait for someone to choose you. If you want to get involved in something or spend time with someone, step up and make it happen. Love is highlighted. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Participate in community events or humanitarian organizations in order to feel good and meet people who will enhance your life and help you get past a personal problem. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Do whatever it takes to ease stress. Book an appointment at your favorite spa or go to an event that will take your mind off emotional matters. Take care of yourself first. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Travel, take part in a conference or trade show, or share ideas with someone you respect. A physical approach to unfinished projects will help you get the job done. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Look over contracts or investments, but don’t jump into something recklessly. It will be necessary to avoid expecting too much from others or giving more than you should offer. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Weigh both sides of any issue you face, and don’t feel obliged to make a decision until you feel comfortable doing so. Express your concerns and true feelings.
