Good morning, McHenry County ...

Two county names on IMRF top 200 In this space last week, you’ll recall I highlighted five educators who found themselves on Taxpayers United of America’s top 200 Illinois Teachers’ Retirement System pensioners list.

On Thursday, TUA, a tax accountability organization led by President Jim Tobin, released its list of the top 200 Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund pensioners.

Two pensioners from McHenry County made the top 200: • Former Algonquin Village Manager Bill Ganek, whose current annual pension is $147,090. To date, Ganek has collected $369,757.

He contributed $147,367 toward his pension. He retired at age 59 after 36 years of employment, which also included stints as a senior planner with McHenry County and as director of planning in Crystal Lake.

STOMACH FLU RECOVERY

4-YEAR-OLD SHOOTS MOM

Martin Elementary School officials are monitoring students closely after more than 10 percent of them were out sick last week with what county health officials suspect was the stomach flu. The outbreak appears to have dissipated, as absenteeism levels dropped below 10 percent Monday. Story, page A4.

SPURS TOO MUCH FOR BULLS

It was going to take perfection Thursday night against the San Antonio Spurs, who improved to 55-10 with a 109-101 win over the Bulls. Despite some highlights that included Derrick Rose and Pau Gasol scoring 21 points each, the Bulls face a tough task in contending for a playoff spot sitting at No. 9 in the Eastern Conference with 19 games left and Jimmy Butler’s return pending.

MIAMI – A Florida woman whose 4-year-old son accidentally shot her in the back while they were traveling in her pickup truck is apparently a gun lover who made numerous social media postings about gun rights. A Facebook page listed under Jamie Gilt for Gun Sense was filled with posts advocating for gun rights, including a quote that said “My right to protect my child with my gun trumps your fear of my gun.” The Associated Press was unable to verify whether the page, which has since been taken down, belonged to Gilt.

A person who answered the phone at her house Thursday morning declined to comment. Putnam County Sheriff’s investigators were trying to determine how the boy got his hands on the gun they say he used to shoot his mother.

STORM SEASON APPROACHES

Experts offer tips on staying safe during severe weather

By KEVIN P. CRAVER

kcraver@shawmedia.com The storm that produced the EF4 tornado that leveled unincorporated Fairdale in DeKalb County headed straight for Marengo on the evening of April 9, 2015.

Trained spotters saw a large, wedge-shaped tornado heading northeast. McHenry County municipalities blew their outdoor warning sirens. The National Weather Service told Marengo residents in a blunt warning that, “You are in a life-threatening situation.”

And then, yet again, luck or otherwise – the tornado dissipated and spared the county. The powerful storm system that killed two and injured seven in Fairdale – and packed winds of between 166 and

200 mph – ran out of energy and petered out.

The sole casualty discovered in McHenry County in the wake of the first EF4 or stronger tornado in the Chicago area since the 1990 Plainfield tornado was a dead chicken.

A small tornado that barely rated as such touched down for about a minute southeast of Harvard, but only snapped or uprooted a few trees.

It’s been half a century since someone in McHenry County died

in a tornado – when the Palm Sunday tornado leveled Crystal Lake and tore a path of destruction to Island Lake, killing six and injuring almost 100.

The storm that barely affected

Harvard happened two days before the 50th anniversary of the Palm Sunday tornado, but luck sooner or later runs out.

Restoring tall grass in Huntley

BARRINGTON HILLS – Two people were able to safely escape from a car after it started on fire Thursday in Barrington Hills, a fire official said.

Algonquin-Lake in the Hills Fire Protection District crews were called to the intersection of Lake-Cook and Deepwood roads about 7:55 a.m. after a woman who was driving to work pulled over and reported smoke coming from the engine compartment of her Ford Focus, Battalion Chief John Knebl said.

Knebl said by the time firefighters arrived, the car was fully engulfed in flames. It took 10 to 15 minutes to extinguish the fire, which Knebl said destroyed the car. The cause of the fire is undetermined.

LAKE IN THE HILLS

School rebounds after outbreak More than 10 percent out sick last week at Martin Elementary

By KATIE DAHLSTROM

kdahlstrom@shawmedia.com LAKE IN THE HILLS – Martin Elementary School officials continue to monitor students’ health after more than 10 percent of students became sick last week with what McHenry County Department of Health officials suspect might have been the stomach flu.

Students’ symptoms included headaches, vomiting and diarrhea, similar to symptoms associated with norovirus, also known as the stomach flu, according to a letter that went home to parents March 3.

The illness on Thursday and Friday sent absenteeism above the 10 percent

range, health department spokeswoman Keri Zaleski said. Ten percent is the threshold to be considered an outbreak.

“It was significant enough that it raised eyebrows,” Zaleski said.

Officials were not able to obtain a sample, but based their diagnosis on the symptoms consistent with norovirus, which is highly contagious but typically dissipates in a day or two.

Health officials said the stomach flu is common in schools, long-term care facilities, prisons, cruise ships and other places where large numbers of people gather.

The school used hospital-grade disinfection tactics following the outbreak at the end of the week.

The school also received a deep clean-

ing over the weekend, Zaleski said.

School officials in their letter said they would remain diligent in cleaning and disinfecting to prevent the illness from spreading.

By Monday, school leaders had reported absenteeism levels had returned to below 10 percent, Zaleski said. Environmental health officials will continue to work with school officials to ensure students’ health. Health officials said washing hands with hot, soapy water is key to controlling the spread of the stomach flu.

School officials also are urging parents to keep their children home for 48 hours after the onset of their last symptoms if a child vomits, has diarrhea or experiences major abdominal pain

2 Republicans, 2 Democrats face off for 6th Congressional District

By KEVIN P. CRAVER

kcraver@shawmedia.com Republican and Democratic voters alike will have a choice Tuesday regarding who runs in the Nov. 8 election for the 6th Congressional District.

Incumbent Republican Rep. Peter Roskam, R-Wheaton, faces a primary challenge from Gordon Kinzler of Glen Ellyn. Democratic candidates Amanda Howland of Hawthorn Woods and Robert Marshall of Burr Ridge are both seeking the Democratic nomination.

Roskam, a lawyer, is seeking a sixth term representing the district, which includes Algonquin Township in McHenry County as part of its comma-like curl cut through the suburbs of Lake, Cook, Kane and DuPage counties.

He has made a name for himself as chairman of a subcommittee of the powerful House Ways and Means Committee Peter tasked with investigat- Roskam ing the apparent targeting of conservative groups for increased IRS scrutiny, and his name was whispered as a possible successor to former Speaker John Boehner in the wake of Amanda Howland his resignation.

“During the course of my time in Congress, I have a proven track record of legislative accomplishments,” Roskam said. “I have worked with other members, regardless of their political or ideological positions, to advance legislation that is important to the citizens of the 6th District, the state of Illinois, and the nation as a whole.”

But Kinzler, a kidney transplant surgeon and lieutenant colonel in the U.S. Army Reserve, said he begs to differ and questioned some of Roskam’s more recent votes.

On the Web

“I am the real conservative in the race,” Kinzler said. “I would not have voted for the omnibus budget bill [in December], which blew another $1.1 trillion hole in the debt ceiling, fully funded Planned Parenthood and Obamacare, quadrupled the H-2B visa program, had no riders stopping the influx of poorly vetted Middle Eastern refugees, and gave away any leverage the Republican House had over an out-of-control executive branch for the coming year.”

Gordon Both candidates beKinzler lieve that the Affordable Care Act needs to be repealed and replaced – the House has passed at least 60 bills aimed at repealing, rolling back or delaying implementation of President Barack Robert Obama’s signature law.

Marshall They differ, however, on the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal. Kinzler opposed it, alleging its secrecy makes it ripe for “crony capitalism” abuses.

Roskam still is reviewing the specifics of the deal, while voicing his strong support for increasing opportunities for increasing trade, which supports 20 percent of Illinois jobs.

To improve jobs in the district, Roskam reiterated his longtime call for an overhaul of the 70,000-page federal tax code, which he said “stifles innovation and entrepreneurship.”

Besides repealing the health care

law, Kinzler supports lowering taxes and putting a stop to both illegal immigration and the import of foreign workers.

The winner of the primary will run against either Howland, an attorney and College of Lake County trustee, or Marshall, a physician and Vietnam War veteran.

Howland said she wants to reform the tax code to minimize loopholes that allow the wealthy to avoid taxes, and as a college trustee will prioritize solving the problem of excessive student debt.

“Sixth District families want to be treated fairly, feel secure and help their children prosper,” Howland said.

“But, a hyperpartisan Congress has refused to address the issues strangling our middle class.”

Howland supports improving the job climate by fixing laws that she said encourage businesses to send jobs overseas or keep profits abroad to avoid taxes, but also said that Congress needs to embrace more fiscal discipline to promote job growth.

Marshall’s plan for job growth is less orthodox – he supports relocating the U.S. capitol from Washington, D.C., to central Illinois, which he said would create “hundreds of thousands of jobs.”

“The Washington-New York City power axis has had a monopoly on federal government power for the past 200 years and we must break up this power axis for the benefit of the country,” Marshall said.

Both Democratic candidates admit that the health care law needs reform, but neither Howland nor Marshall support its repeal. Marshall outright opposes the Trans-Pacific Partnership deal, while Howland is more reserved.

She supports leveling the playing field when it comes to the tariffs charged to American exports, but noted that previous trade pacts promised new jobs and better opportunities for American workers, but failed to deliver on them.

Road, Lt. Nikki Pierce said.

The passengers were taken to Mercy Harvard Hospital, and neither the woman nor the boy suffered injuries considered life-threatening, she said. Pierce did not have any additional information about the patients.

Both were in the same vehicle, which Pierce said sustained moderate damage to

the passenger side. The boy was sitting in the backseat of the driver’s side.

The man driving the other vehicle did not require transport, she said.

After tending to the patients, the fire protection district turned the scene over to the Harvard Police Department, which was not immediately available for comment.

8 SPRING GROVE

Man gets 8 years in prison after 8th DUI NORTHWEST HERALD

WOODSTOCK – The Wisconsin man who was found guilty of his eighth DUI offense in January after an incident in Spring Grove was sentenced to eight years in prison, the McHenry County State’s Attorney’s Office announced Thursday.

A jury found Michael Tatera, 54, of West Allis, Wisconsin, guilty of driving under the influence Jan. 12 after a two-day trial, a news release from the office said.

Spring Grove police stopped Tatera after seeing him driving through barricades and through a closed road in downtown Spring Grove.

Once stopped, the defendant was evaluated for DUI and arrested after

showing signs of impairment.

Tatera’s public defender requested a new trial based on the notion that the state did not have enough evidence to prove guilt beyond reasonable doubt. A McHenry County judge denied the request in February.

Because Tatera has been convicted on seven prior DUI offenses, the local conviction is considered a Class X felony, Michael the state’s attorney’s ofTatera fice said.

The case was investigated by the Spring Grove Police Department and prosecuted by Assistant State’s Attorneys John T. Gibbons and Robert Ladd.

LOCAL BRIEFS

Continued from page A3 Rick Slusin, a 40-year storm spotter who watched the Fairdale tornado fizzle out at the county border, said people in McHenry County might be lulled into a false sense of security, which will make things much worse when the area finally does get a large tornado.

“It’s the old, ‘It’s not gonna happen here,’ and when it does, they’re not prepared,” said Slusin, a retired Crystal Lake fire chief.

With severe weather season again almost upon us, Slusin and McHenry County Emergency Management Agency Director David Christensen said that simple and common-sense measures will protect lives when the day comes.

An important thing that people overlook is the simple act of taking the time at the start of the day to check the forecast, Christensen said.

He recommended the daily and regularly updated hazardous weather outlook put out by the weather service’s Chicago office.

Weather service forecasters had been advising people five days before the Fairdale tornado that an unusual bout of early April severe weather was a possibility.

A fire department diver emerges from North Lake at the Three Oaks Recreation Area during training Thursday in Crystal Lake. Firefighters from Barrington, Crystal Lake and Libertyville completed a grid-search exercise and were linked by a line with direct communication with instructors on shore.

And in an age when everyone has a smartphone with GPS, people can carry their weather alerts with them, Slusin said. Besides the built-in emergency alert feature that sounds warnings, people can sign up for text alerts – the Northwest Herald sends out severe weather alerts through such a feature – and download weather warning apps.

ST. CHARLES – A Carpentersville man is headed to prison after agreeing to a 10-year sentence in exchange for a guilty plea for sexually assaulting a young child in 2013, according to the Kane County State’s Attorney’s Office.

Olibar Modesto, 50, of the 300 block of Delaware Street, on Thurs- Olibar day pleaded guilty to Modesto predatory criminal sexual assault, a Class X felony, spokesman for the state’s attorney’s office Christopher Nelson said.

The plea was accepted by Circuit Judge James C. Hallock.

Prosecutors presented evidence that on Oct. 1, 2013, Modesto sexually assaulted a child he knew, who was younger than 12 at the time.

Modesto must register for life as a sexual offender in addition to his

prison term.

He has to serve at least 85 percent of his sentence, but will receive credit for at least 898 days spent in the Kane County jail where he had been since his first arrest in lieu of $2 million bail.

The case was prosecuted by Kane County State’s Attorney Lori Schmidt.

LOCAL BRIEFS Sheriff’s office seeks info after Woodstock-area hit-and-run

WOODSTOCK – The McHenry County Sheriff’s Office is looking for information on a hit-and-run crash that occurred Wednesday evening.

Around 7 p.m., a girl was hit by a vehicle traveling east on Perkins Road near Gee Road in unincorporated Woodstock, according to a Nixle alert from the sheriff’s office.

Sheriff’s Deputy Aimee Knop said the victim was driven to Centegra Hospital – Woodstock with minor injuries, and she did not notify police or fire officials.

The sheriff’s office was notified of the crash by Centegra, Knop said.

The victim could not provide a description of the vehicle, and Knop did not have any details about where the victim was struck or how fast the vehicle was going.

The alert said anyone with information about the incident or who might have seen someone driving in an erratic manner in the area is encouraged to call the sheriff’s office at 815-338-2144.

Car, tree catch fire after 1-car crash in Prairie Grove

PRAIRIE GROVE – A single-vehicle crash in Prairie Grove resulted in a car fire with flames that shot between 8 to 10 feet up a nearby tree, fire officials said Thursday.

The Nunda Rural Fire Protection District was dispatched about 2 p.m. for reports of a car that crashed into a tree at Barreville and Ames roads.

Capt. Neil Austin said the entire front of the gray Sedan was fully engulfed in flames, which quickly spread to the tree the vehicle had collided with.

The driver and only occupant of the car extricated himself before the vehicle caught fire and refused medical treatment at the scene, Austin said.

“From what I was told, the vehicle was going eastbound on Ames, approaching the stop sign at a high speed,” Austin said, adding that a witness said the vehicle was going about 50 mph before hitting the brakes.

Firefighters had the fire under control in about two minutes.

The Prairie Grove Police Department also responded to the scene, but officials with the department said the responding officer was not available to comment Thursday afternoon.

Shepherd of the Hills family says farewell to longtime pastor Note to readers: The Rev. Roger Schneider, pastor of Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran Church in McHenry, will celebrate his retirement March 12 after 47 years with the church. The following was submitted by the Doepker family on behalf of his congregation.

“Thank you, Sir.” About 20 years ago, on a quiet Sunday morning, sitting with the young families in our church, our home, Shepherd of the Hills, these were the words that started your sermon that day.

You described a man, driving along an unfamiliar country road, experiencing a sudden tire blow-out that caused his car to swerve and slide, but fortunately left him safely settled along the side of the road.

The rapid heartbeat quieting, his hands relaxed from clenching the steering wheel, he thought quietly, and spoke, “Thank you, sir.” He said, “Thank you for letting

me bring the car to a safe stop, and thank you for leaving me safe as I sit here.”

After a few more moments, the man got out of his car, surveyed the situation and saw his right front tire was flat.

“Thank you, Sir, for stopping me along a clear, flat, bit of roadway, with a sunny day, no rain and not too warm or cold.”

He moved to the back of the car, opening the trunk, reaching for the spare tire and jack.

“Thank you, Sir, for the air in this spare tire, for a jack and for a wrench to help me as I work to change the flat tire.”

As he worked quietly, there was no traffic to cause fear or panic. “Thank you, Sir.” And after just a little while, the tire was changed, the parts placed back into the trunk, his sleeves turned down and buttoned once more.

“Thank you, Sir, for keeping me clean and safe as I work.”

The task completed, sitting behind the wheel, wiping a bit of sweat from his forehead, the man thought quietly and leaned forward, looking through the window to the clear blue sky once more.

“Thank you, Sir.” And he continued on his journey, his life.

Thank you, Sir, thank you, pastor, and thank you, Rosemary, for watching over our families through all these many years.

You have, too many times to know, given us quiet strength, shared in our joy, relieved our worst fears, sustained us in our failures and always – always – welcomed us home to comfort, to grace and to hope that things will be OK. In the coming days and years, we will drive life’s highway just a bit more fearful, but we will draw strength as we are able from all the many years that you built courage within.

Thank you, Sir.

STATE STATE BRIEFS

Illinois universities worry about future without budget

SPRINGFIELD –University officials painted a dire picture of the state of higher education in Illinois on Thursday, telling lawmakers that the failure to pass a budget is leading to layoffs and students considering going elsewhere for an education.

“We’re on the verge of dismantling the higher education system in Illinois,” James Applegate, the director of the state’s Board of Higher Education, told the Senate Appropriations Committee, which was hearing funding requests from various institutions. Lawmakers are in the odd situation of considering funding requests for the next budget year, which begins July 1, while the state continues to limp along without a budget for the current year.

There’s no end in sight to the budget stalemate between Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner and the Democrats who control the Legislature. Rauner wants business-friendly changes as a condition for approving a tax hike, while Democrats balk at what they say amounts to Rauner’s union-busting proposals.

Higher education institutions haven’t received state funding in nine months and are facing cuts because Illinois is dealing with a multibillion-dollar deficit.

Chicago Public Schools sues former CEO for $65 million

CHICAGO – Chicago Public Schools on Thursday filed a lawsuit seeking $65 million from its former chief executive, who pleaded guilty to helping steer millions of dollars in no-bid contracts in return for kickbacks.

In addition to Barbara Byrd-Bennett, the lawsuit filed in Cook County Circuit Court also names Gary Solomon, co-owner of SUPES Academy, and his business partner, Thomas Vranas, who are accused of arranging to pay Byrd-Bennett $2.3 million in exchange for steering $23 million in no-bid contracts to the company.

“With scarce resources, staff furloughs and painful budget cuts, CPS is keeping a close watch on every dollar,” current CPS CEO Forrest Claypool said in a statement. “Barbara Byrd-Bennett and her co-conspirators knew the district’s dire straits and still concocted this scheme to divert needed resources away from classrooms and line their own pockets.”

Speaker faces challenger amid state budget furor

By IVAN MORENO

The Associated Press CHICAGO – Jason Gonzales stands out among the longshot candidates who have dared attempting to unseat powerful Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan, who has handily won his southwest side Chicago district every two years for almost four decades.

Gonzales has a Harvard degree. He has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars to compete in the now-majority Latino district. And his candidacy in Tuesday’s primary comes at a time when circumstances might favor a challenger: Voters are frustrated at state government’s ongoing paralysis amid a budget deadlock between Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner and the Madigan-led Democrats, plunging Illinois further into debt every day.

“We need some serious disruption if we’re going to survive as a state,” said Gonzales, 42, who has not run for office before. “We gotta face the facts, we gotta face the situation that we’re in. And Speaker Madigan has helped put us in that position.”

But Gonzales still faces extremely long odds. His fundraising pales in comparison to Madigan’s multimillion-dollar war chests, and he’s up against Madigan’s record in a district where voters don’t necessarily hold him responsible for the state’s overall mess.

Rauner and other Madigan critics see the speaker as an entrenched defender of unions and other special interests responsible for the state’s financial crisis. Madigan portrays himself as a defender of middle class families and workers who need the state’s vital services.

Gonzales is not just taking on the country’s longest-tenured statehouse speaker; he’s taking on the head of Illinois’ Democratic Party.

Madigan’s aides allege Gonzales was put up to run by Rauner and the Republicans who have contributed to his coffers. He denies that, and in turn questions why two other Latino candidates registered for the primary race minutes after he registered his campaign at the deadline – Joe Barboza, 40, and Grasiela Rodriguez, 39.

Neither Barboza or Rodriguez has raised any money, neither has a campaign website, and their homes are de-

Neither returned calls for comment. Gonzales suspects that the two were registered to split the district’s Latino vote.

Madigan spokesman Steve Brown denies that Barboza and Rodriguez are plants. He attributes Gonzales’ accusations, which mirror what others have raised in the Jason past, to not having a solid Gonzales platform.

“You do that when you really don’t have much of a basis of support. You do that when you don’t have many good ideas,” Brown said.

Gonzales has raised nearly $222,000 himself and also is getting help from Illinois United for Change, which has spent nearly $363,000 supporting him and another $238,000 opposing Madigan, according to the Illinois Campaign for Political Reform. A pro-Rauner group, Illinois Opportunity Project, has pitched in $20,000 to that group, but $320,000 has come from Blair Hull, a wealthy Democrat who unsuccessfully ran for the U.S. Senate in 2004.

By comparison, as chairman of the state’s Democratic Party, Madigan controls four campaign funds currently totaling about $9 million. His “Friends of Michael J. Madigan” committee

alone, which focuses on the speaker’s own campaign, had $2.3 million to start the year, according to the Illinois Campaign for Political Reform.

Gonzales, an independent management consultant with a master’s in public administration from Harvard University, said he has considered challenging Madigan for years but was waiting for the right moment. He grew up in Carpentersville, but has lived in Madigan’s district for about two years.

“It’s time that we have somebody new. The Democratic Party in Illinois needs to be rebuilt,” Gonzales said.

Since Madigan’s election in 1971, he has won every race he’s been in, and recent contests have been blowouts.

Madigan also has been instrumental in maintaining the Democrats’ majority in the House for all but two years in the mid-1990s.

Madigan did not agree to an interview for this story.

Madigan’s 22nd House District has the third highest concentration of Latino residents among legislators in either chamber, according to the Latino Policy Forum. Latinos make up half of the 44,100 registered voters in the district.

Gonzales said he’s hoping to attract young Latino voters who don’t have a history with Madigan and is predicting a close race.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS Germany: Files listing IS fighters are authentic

BERLIN – Thousands of files have surfaced with personal data on members of the Islamic State group – documents that might help authorities track down and prosecute foreign fighters who returned home after joining the extremists, or identify those who recruited them in the first place.

Germany’s federal criminal police said Thursday they are in possession of the files and believe they are authentic.

The announcement came after Britain’s Sky News reported it had obtained 22,000 Islamic State files that detail the real names of fighters for the group, where they were from, their telephone numbers and even names of those who sponsored and recruited them.

Zappala said of the Wednesday nighttime shootings.

The medical examiner officially ruled the death of the fetus a homicide Thursday afternoon, bringing the fatalities in the late Wednesday night ambush attack to six.

GOP rivals fight on – but politely – in debate

By NANCY BENAC and JULIE BYKOWICZ The Associated Press

MIAMI – Abandoning the nasty insults of past debates, Donald Trump and his Republican rivals turned Thursday night’s presidential face-off into a mostly respectful but still pointed discussion of Social Security, Islam, trade and more. Trump shook his head and declared at one point: “I can’t believe how civil it’s been up here.”

Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio didn’t hesitate to lay out their differences with Trump, but the candidates largely managed to present those arguments without vitriol.

In a lengthy discussion of the threat posed by radicalized Muslims, Trump refused to back away from his recent statement that “Islam hates the West.” He said he wouldn’t stoop to being “politically correct” by avoiding such statements.

Rubio had a sharp comeback: “I’m not interested in being politically correct. I’m interested in being correct.”

The Florida senator noted the Muslims in the U.S. military and buried in Arlington National Cemetery and said the only way to solve the problem of violent extremists is to work with people in the Muslim faith who are not radicals.

Cruz bundled together his criticisms of Trump for what he called simplistic solutions on trade and on Islamic terrorists, saying, “The answer is not to simply yell, ‘China: bad, Muslim: bad.’ ” Trump, however, clearly was intent on projecting a less bombastic – and more presidential – image.

His closing message: “Be smart and unify.”

“We’re all in this together,” he said early on, sounding more like a conciliator than a provocateur as he strives to unify the party behind his candidacy. “We’re going to come up with solutions. We’re going to find the answer to things.”

The candidates split down the middle – Trump and Texas Sen. Cruz vs. Florida Sen. Rubio and Ohio Gov. John Kasich – on the likelihood of the GOP race coming down to a brokered Republican convention this summer.

“I think I’m going to have the delegates, OK?” Trump said.

As for who has a realistic chance of winning the nomination, Trump simply wrote off Rubio and Kasich, saying, “There are two of us that can, and there are two of us that cannot, OK?” Cruz heartily agreed with Trump on that.

Rubio countered that disappointing “delegate math” aside, he’d keep on fighting.

ANOTHER VIEW

More fiction from Sanders “Secretary Clinton supported virtually every one of the disastrous trade agreements written by corporate America,” Sen. Bernie Sanders railed Sunday night.

As the presidential campaign moves to the Rust Belt, the socialist contender is doubling down on protectionism. His stance is built on bogus numbers that defy the overwhelming consensus among economists, and his solutions would do much more harm than good. Politically, however, it appears to be working.

As Sanders won the Michigan Democratic primary Tuesday, exit polls indicated his anti-trade agenda helped him. Fifty-seven percent of those who voted agreed trade “takes away U.S. jobs,” and 56 percent of them picked Sanders. Those figures augur poorly for Hillary Clinton’s prospects in the Midwest – and for the political durability of the country’s commitment to free trade.

That’s unfortunate, as Sanders’ populist rhetoric doesn’t stand up to scrutiny. His insistence, for example, that the North American Free Trade Agreement led to 800,000 job losses ignores analyses from unbiased sources such as the Congressional Research Service.

Blaming freer trade for the loss of manufacturing jobs fails to tell the much bigger story of economic transformation that has swept the world over the past several decades. Technological change, automation, productivity improvements and other factors have eliminated old-school manufacturing jobs all over the world. Sanders cannot bring back the U.S. economy of the 1960s.

Sanders’ story also neglects to mention the broad benefits free trade brings. It pulls foreign trading partners out of poverty. It helps U.S. exporters, who account for an increasingly large share of American output. It enriches U.S. consumers, who get cheaper goods and greater selection.

Economists resoundingly agree these sorts of diffuse benefits outweigh the costs over time. Moreover, there are non-economic benefits, as well.

NAFTA helped turn Mexico from an antagonist into a regional partner. The much-maligned TransPacific Partnership (TPP) would knit the U.S. into the Asia-Pacific region for decades to come.

The downside is that freeing up trade clearly exacts some costs in particular sectors, and those affected can be politically mobilized. The solution, though, is not to provoke international enmity and trade conflict by adopting a hostile attitude toward would-be trading partners. The smart policy is embracing openness and pocketing the overall gains in wealth and prosperity, while maintaining a safety net to help those who lose out.

What Clinton’s Wall St. speeches tell us

By FRANCIS WILKINSON Bloomberg View

Hillary Clinton has sometimes been cast as her husband’s opposite. He’s a natural; she’s calculating. He’s a bubbly roue; she’s a Methodist scold. He’s a slapdash genius; she’s a buttoned-down know-it-all. He’s indiscriminate and omnivorous; she’s discerning and restrained.

I’ve never found this twin portrait entirely convincing. Hillary Clinton didn’t traipse through the ice of New Hampshire in the winter of 1992 answering embarrassing questions about her marriage because she insists on a tidy, well-ordered life. She did so because she shared her husband’s soaring ambition. Maybe not every last morsel of it, yet surely enough to endure more than many spouses would.

And, of course, Clinton proved her personal ambition later, running for Senate and then for president. Twice.

Clinton is resisting calls made

by Sen. Bernie Sanders to release the texts of speeches she gave to Bank of America, Deutsche Bank, UBS and other financial institutions. The speeches are very likely banal, and whatever praise she dolloped out to the bankers, and however unseemly her chumminess with them, it won’t be sufficient to sink Battleship Clinton.

But as a measure of sheer appetite, the speeches are curiously telling.

After leaving the State Department in 2013, Clinton delivered a series of such speeches for lucrative fees. Like countless high-ranking government officials before her, she saw her opportunities, and she took ’em.

The New York Times reported that talking earned Clinton and her husband $30 million in just 16 months after her State Department job ended. Since Bill Clinton’s presidency ended in January 2001, the New York

Times reported, the Clintons earned more than $125 million on the speaking circuit.

After leaving the State Department, Clinton gave three paid speeches to Goldman Sachs, earning a total of $675,000.

Having set out to capture the biggest prize of all – the presidency – Clinton still couldn’t resist making a few pit stops to pick up easy, yet politically fraught, money.

For Clinton haters, of course, this offers a new opportunity for another hapless quest, marked by comic excess and the firm conviction that someone in that darned family will someday get their comeuppance.

For the rest of us, the tale presents the basic mystery of those whose appetites never can be sated. It poses the question of why a supremely intelligent, exceedingly competent, detail-oriented, ever-prepared politician just can’t leave well enough – or even well-off enough – alone.

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

In good hands with Regna

To the Editor: As a former McHenry County bailiff for 24 years (now retired), I am writing to endorse Daniel Regna as state’s attorney for his dedication as an assistant state’s attorney while I worked in the court system.

He demonstrated integrity, intelligence and a deep interest in his job.

Mr. Regna dedicated himself to those he represented and was a great source of support to those he worked with. He is and was respected and admired by the judicial system at the McHenry County Courthouse.

I highly support him in his bid in the upcoming election for state’s attorney.

McHenry County would be in good hands with such a fine attorney.

More prosecutor than politician

To the Editor: Mr. Patrick Kenneally is a Republican candidate for state’s attorney in the March primary.

I was the judge in Woodstock courtroom 302 from 2005 until I retired in 2012. Mr. Kenneally was an assistant state’s attorney assigned to that courtroom. I saw him try many cases.

Mr. Kenneally is a bright lawyer and a skilled adversary. He consistently displayed the energy of a pit bull, the tenacity of a Gila monster and the charm of a leprechaun. Once he grew into his role, Mr. Kenneally always was magnanimous

in success and gracious when success eluded him.

His skill and grace aside, Mr. Kenneally’s pre-eminent qualifications for the job are his empathy and self-discipline.

He comprehends the humanity of others because he has effectively wrestled with his own weaknesses. I admire his efforts.

They will make him more of a prosecutor and less of a politician.

Knockout punch

To the Editor: ’Tis the season for politicians to litter our roadways with campaign signage, claiming they are fighting for us, but who is actually delivering the fight?

Martin J. McLaughlin in the 26th District state Senate race is pounding on the statehouse doors, hoping to deliver positive change on behalf of his constituents. As a citizen advocate, he will bring transformative reform to the steps of Springfield.

Martin’s solution is to run the state like a business by applying fiscal management strategies. Martin is making waves, stirring the establishment’s angst, challenging the special interest lobby in order to get our Legislature to force compromise toward the goal of a balanced budget.

Martin is the dominating financial heavyweight voters will support. His exemplary tax reduction record in the village shows he can bring the principled fight to Springfield. Let’s do our civic duty, and vote McLaughlin on March 15.

Thinking doesn’t count

To the Editor: I must say, I am so disappointed by the revelation of the pension scandal at the County Board.

The same people who told us they were going to give us our money’s worth are now going to tell us they deserve pensions for the time they spend thinking about their board jobs while they are driving to work, brushing their teeth and cutting their grass.

I’ve got news for them. The rest of us don’t get pensions or insurance for thinking about our jobs. We have to go out and work for what we have, and even after we do, this same County Board supports policies that would lower benefits for real workers. What a disgrace.

entrenched in the community and knows the concerns and priorities of those who live here. We would be lucky to have her representing us in Springfield.

Jung shifts blame

To the Editor: John Jung’s comments on the McHenry County Board pension scandal sound very suspect. Instead of saying he was innocent, he only said Jack Franks should mind his own business. When someone changes the subject and shifts the blame, they are usually hiding something.

Keep in mind also that Jung can’t attend daytime meetings because of his fulltime job in Cook County. For him to even suggest he is putting in 20 hours a week simply would be audacious.

Jung has been on the board for 22 years. What else have the taxpayers been misled on in all that time?

To the Editor: As a resident of McHenry County, I would like to recommend Tom Wilbeck to the voters in District 1 in the primary election for the McHenry County Board.

As a long time resident of McHenry County, he has been a leader in fighting higher taxation and wasteful spending.

I have known Tom for more than 40 years. He always has proven to be a friend who will work long and diligently for the public welfare, which he proved in both Seneca Township and on the McHenry County College Board. He worked tirelessly to decrease taxes and wasteful spending.

The citizens of District 1 can rely on Tom to be honest, hardworking and dependable. He is a man who deserves your trust and your vote through his excellent record.

I know Carolyn to be a thoughtful public servant who researches topics thoroughly and strives to make the best decisions for her constituents. She is fair and balanced, and always listens to all points of view.

Outside of her current position on the County Board, where she votes regularly to protect taxpayers and families, I also know Carolyn through the volunteering she does in the region. From donating time to the Crystal Lake Community Harvest and The Salvation Army, to her work in her schools as a Parent-Teacher Organization president, to her executive board position with the McHenry County Youth Sports Organization, Carolyn is

To the Editor: I wholeheartedly support Patrick Kenneally for state’s attorney.

As a person, Patrick has dignity, class and is respectful of those around him. As an attorney, he is experienced, knowledgeable and sensitive to all in the legal process.

It has been deplorable how Patrick’s opponent has conducted his campaign.

His opponent uses the word honor to describe how he conducts himself.

However, his actions are not. His actions are contrary and out of character for a former military man.

I worked with his opponent, Dan Regna, on a previous campaign, and after that experience, I decided to support Patrick Kenneally.

To the Editor: Much has been said recently about township consolidation.

The resolution that was put before the County Board would not have resulted in any actual consolidation. Its purpose was to establish a method for residents to vote for or against consolidation based upon the pros and cons presented by its supporters and opponents.

On Election Day, remember these board members, led by Chairman Joe Gottemoller (District 3), denied us this opportunity: Michele Aavang (District 6), Sue Draffkorn (District 4), Diane Evertsen (District 6), John Hammerand (District 4), John Jung Jr. (District 5), Donald Kopsell (District 3), Mary McCann (District 6), Anna May Miller (District 1), Bob Nowak (District 1), Carolyn Schofield (District 2), Michael Skala (District 5) and Larry Smith (District 6).

He is a hardworking and honest young man. I have worked with him in many ways over the past few years. Cameron is a thoughtful and engaged participant in any conversation and always is interested in others’ thoughts and opinions.

I have found him to be very reasonable, and he always demonstrates a common sense approach to all decision making.

Cameron always is respectful of others and trying to get everyone to work together to come up with creative and acceptable solutions.

I am asking you to join me in supporting and voting for Cameron Hubbard for McHenry County Board.

We should be paid back

To the Editor: The story on McHenry County Board pensions couldn’t have come at a more important time.

Taxpayers will have a chance to stop potentially cheating politicians from getting re-elected. It must be noted this has been going on for almost 20 years.

Investigators should look back into all the past board members who have gotten undeserved taxpayer-funded pensions.

If the taxpayers have been defrauded, we should be paid back, and the culprits should end up behind bars.

Vote in your best interest

To the Editor: I would like to remind voters to ask or inquire of prospective candidates whether they support or, if elected, would support HJR 115, which would enable Illinois to join the Convention of States process.

This is a national initiative designed to help the American people peacefully take back control of their federal government. For a decade, many thoughtful Americans looked at our government with anger and bewilderment.

Many voters see Donald Trump as the apotheosis of all they have hoped for in a politician.

Kenneally the qualified candidate

To the Editor: Dan Regna’s campaign for McHenry County state’s attorney is the most asinine campaign I ever have witnessed for any elected office.

Regna’s form-letter-style letters to the editor suggest the voters of McHenry County should elect Regna state’s attorney because Regna has lived in McHenry County for 23 years, has coached Little League baseball, has been a Cub Scout leader and is a member of St. Mary church.

There are some great candidates who are dedicated to public service and are running for the right reasons, and that is to do the right thing. They are honest, hardworking, compassionate and understanding people who deserve our support. I have been in law enforcement for more than 40 years and encourage you to join me and vote for the best choices for state’s attorney – Patrick Kenneally – and circuit judge – James Cowlin.

A vow to challenge spending

To the Editor: Taxpayers in District 6 have a clear

choice for McHenry County Board on March 15.

A resident of unincorporated Wonder Lake, I am running for County Board because taxes are out of control. Keeping spending levels constant is convenient; it is too late to just hold the line. We need to cut spending to achieve real tax relief and allow the economy to grow.

My status quo opponents will not do that.

My opponents’ résumés include: voting against tax cuts, tax levy requests in excess of property tax limitations and accepting grants that promote government irresponsibility.

I have gained much insight from researching the many issues facing residents, but one thing is certain: Our elected and appointed officials are not ensuring taxpayers are getting the best value for our money.

Vote Kelly Liebmann for County Board, and I will scrutinize and challenge spending and work to cut taxes.

Kenneally deserves your vote

To the Editor: I urge you to vote for Patrick Kenneally for state’s attorney.

I am a Republican, lawyer and former prosecutor. I have listened carefully to Mr. Kenneally’s speeches and spoken with him at length.

His philosophy includes the belief criminals must be held accountable for their actions, yet he recognizes the value of addressing in specialty courts the often present underlying issues of mental health problems, alcoholism and drug addiction.

Dangerous criminals must be removed from society, and Mr. Kenneally personally has accomplished that through his work as a senior assistant state’s attorney in a felony courtroom. Overall, Mr. Kenneally’s approach is balanced, responsible and sensible.

Mr. Kenneally is a career prosecutor with a stunning record of victories in the courtroom on large, complicated prosecutions.

No wonder he has the endorsement of the sheriffs in Lake County and McHenry County, and the state’s attorneys of Lake, McHenry and Boone counties.

Patrick Kenneally is deserving of your vote.

Dan expertly guided me through the process of becoming a small business owner with sound legal advice and advanced knowledge. He applied his vast civil and contract negotiation skills to help me and would undoubtedly do the same for the residents of McHenry County as state’s attorney.

More impressive, Dan is a people person. He made every effort to meet and exceed my expectations as an attorney.

He was supportive and positive, yet very assertive and no nonsense, driven by the goal to succeed.

Dan Regna will make a wise and mature state’s attorney who will look out for the best interests of McHenry County and its small business owners.

I have been a lawyer in McHenry County for 25 years. I’ve seen my share of good lawyers and bad lawyers. Pat Kenneally is one of the best I’ve ever had the pleasure to work against, and with. He is a professional, dedicated, reasonable and compassionate prosecutor. He does not rush to judgment and gives every case careful consideration, especially those involving our youngest and most vulnerable citizens. Also, Pat is a loving husband and father, and a good and honest man.

Without any reservation whatsoever, I support Patrick Kenneally to be our next state’s attorney.

Wilbeck most qualified

To the Editor: I have known Thomas Wilbeck personally and professionally for 35 years.

I believe the McHenry County Board will not find a more qualified candidate.

Tom’s combination of a successful business background with substantial financial management experience gives him an ability to research and develop solutions to what often are complex financial issues.

He is a conservative, and his skills and experience would allow him to successfully identify and argue against any taxes not clearly benefiting the residents of McHenry County. Eliminating waste and ensuring fiscal accountability is his passion, and he is highly competent in doing so.

To the residents in District 1, I urge you to elect Tom Wilbeck and re-elect Anna May Miller to the County Board. Her knowledge and experience, especially with transportation issues, is exceptional.

What stands out the most to me occurred when Demetri was in law school. Our mother became ill and was confined to her bed. Demetri would drive more than three hours each way to care for her. He never complained. He did everything he could to make her last years comfortable.

I am an assistant state’s attorney in Vermilion County, Illinois. Throughout my career, I have appeared in many courtrooms and before many judges, and I have observed bad and good judges.

Demetri has the legal experience and will be a judge who is respectful, fair and impartial.

I recently got greatly involved with county “politics” when I and other employees tried to form a union with SEIU 73.

The recorder’s office needs an honest person, a person willing to give their time to the residents of McHenry County and the surrounding area.

We need a person presenting great leadership skills and who has the confidence to lead the office that maintains all land documents, plats, easements, highway strip maps, etc.

After doing my homework, I took in all the information on all the candidates, in McHenry County’s best interest, I urge all to vote for Tina Hill for McHenry County recorder of deeds.

Schofield most worthy

To the Editor: In the race for state representative, the real fiascos are the ways in which those less worthy than Carolyn Schofield are conducting themselves.

The State Board of Elections website shows Allen Skillicorn and his primary donor, Liberty Principles PAC, have spent an astounding $150,000 on negative TV and print materials attacking Schofield.

You always can tell when a candidate is unqualified for a position because their single strategy becomes attacking their opponent.

It’s shameful. Don’t be fooled.

The Schofield family is an upstanding family with a deep commitment to volunteerism and community service.

Carolyn is campaigning on her solid record of fighting taxes, growing jobs and thoroughly researching and discussing issues so that shared goals can be achieved. She has the experience to turn Illinois around while continuing to fight for issues important to women and workers.

Please vote for Carolyn Schofield for state representative.

Three wonderful organizations are on TV every single day begging us for nickels and dimes: Wounded Warriors, St. Jude Children’s Research Center and Children’s Memorial Hospital.

Daley youth foundation circa 1955, I must go outside of my party and support Donald Trump, who couldn’t care less about career politicking.

Hillary Clinton is a suspected liar and suspected felon and could face corruption charges regarding the Clinton Foundation.

A Michigan State Police officer shoots at the doors of a Ford Police Interceptor Utility vehicle during ballistic testing of doors against small arm fire March 3 at the Livingston Conservation and Sports Association in Brighton, Mich.

Ford creates police car doors that stop armor-piercing bullets The ASSOCIATED PRESS

DETROIT – It’s a first for police cars: Doors that can protect against armor-piercing bullets. Ford soon will be offering the doors on its Police Interceptor sedans and SUVs. They’ll be the first in the U.S. to meet the Justice Department’s highest standard for body armor, the equivalent of a bulky SWAT team vest.

The doors are designed to stop a .30-caliber bullet shot from a high-powered rifle like an AK-47. That’s more powerful ammunition than many soldiers carry.

Ford has offered factory-installed ballistic panels on its police car doors since 2008.

But previous versions protected against handgun fire and non-armor-piercing bullets. Between 5 percent and 10 percent of police vehicles Ford sells have the optional ballistic protection, which costs about $1,500 a door.

But Randy Freiburger, a Ford engineer who works with police customers, said the company was getting frequent requests for better protection, particularly from police in the Middle East and Eastern Europe. So engineers starting working on upgraded panels.

“In some places outside the U.S., they

face the armor-piercing threat on a daily basis,” Freiburger said. “This is the price of entry for those markets.”

Ford also was facing pressure from its rivals. Dodge began offering non-armor-piercing protection on police versions of the Charger in 2012. Ford controlled 60 percent of the U.S. police vehicle market in 2015.

Other automakers, including Land Rover and Audi, make vehicles from highstrength steel that can protect against armor-piercing bullets. But the cost would likely be out of reach for most police departments. The armored Range Rover Sentinel, which isn’t sold in the U.S., starts at $569,000. A Ford Police Interceptor SUV – which is based on an Explorer – starts around $30,000.

Ford’s ballistic panels – which cover most of the door – have two layers. The outside is made from ballistic-grade ceramic tile. When a bullet hits the tile, it disperses the energy and starts to break the bullet into pieces. The inner layer is made from aramid fiber, which is the same material used for Kevlar. The fiber catches the shrapnel from the bullet.

If bullets strike twice in the same spot, which is rare, the panels will still offer

some protection, Ford says.

Freiburger said increasing the ballistic protection was an engineering challenge.

The composition of the ceramic tile and the interior fiber had to be changed. The doors also weigh more, so engineers had to make sure that the hinges would hold them.

Ford will continue offering both non-armor-piercing and armor-piercing doors for departments with different needs. Pricing for the upgraded protection hasn’t been announced.

The doors aren’t available to the public.

In fact, they’re destroyed when police cars are scrapped so they can’t get into criminals’ hands.

Freiburger said the car windows do not have ballistic protection because it significantly increases the weight of the glass.

Bulletproof glass also could make it more difficult to get injured people out of a patrol car.

Bill Johnson, executive director of the National Association of Police Organizations, said police frequently are targeted when they’re in their cars, so they will likely welcome the more advanced protection.

“Any kind of protection that can be added into the vehicles that officers are driving in is a great idea,” Johnson said.

Chambers must answer members

Chambers of commerce have existed in the U.S. for more than two centuries.

But people often have misconceptions when it comes to defining what chambers do, even though almost everyone has heard of chambers.

The lack of understanding is in large part self-inflicted because chambers in various towns and cities focus on different things and can operate in different ways. A chamber of commerce is an organization of businesses, nonprofit organizations, politicians and private residents looking to prosper, obtain business leads and improve their community.

U.S. rate on 30-year mortgage ticks up The ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON – Average long-term U.S. mortgage rates rose this week for only the second time this year. It was the second straight weekly increase for long-term loan rates, which had declined since the start of the year amid global economic anxiety and market turbulence. Rates still remain at historically low levels at the start of the spring home buying season.

Mortgage buyer Freddie Mac said Thursday the average rate on a 30-year, fixed-rate mortgage edged up to 3.68 percent from 3.64 percent last week. The benchmark rate remains below the 3.86 percent level it marked a year ago. The average rate on 15-year fixed-rate mortgages increased to 2.96 percent from 2.94 percent

last week. Economists are seeing some positive signs in new data. A robust U.S. employment report for February, issued by the government last Friday, highlighted a resilient U.S. economy just as fears of a new recession had begun to surface.

U.S. employers sent a clear message of confidence last month. They added a healthy 242,000 jobs, while the unemployment rate held at a low 4.9 percent. The gains showed that the economy is surmounting its challenges without suffering much damage.

As economic anxiety has eased, U.S. government bond prices have reversed their upward trend that started the year.

The decline in U.S. bond prices has raised the yields on the bonds, which mortgage rates follow. The yield on the 10-

year Treasury bond stood at 1.88 percent Wednesday, up from 1.84 percent a week earlier. The yield ticked up to 1.89 percent Thursday morning.

Although markets have stabilized and some economic worry has abated, most experts don’t expect the Federal Reserve to raise the short-term interest rate it controls at its policy meeting next week. In December, the Fed increased the rate from a record low near zero for the first time in seven years.

To calculate average mortgage rates, Freddie Mac surveys lenders across the country at the beginning of each week. The average doesn’t include extra fees, known as points, which most borrowers must pay to get the lowest rates. One point equals 1 percent of the loan amount.

MADONNA’S CUSTODY BATTLE BACK IN COURT

THINGS

WORTH TALKIN’ ABOUT FRIDAY, MARCH 11, 2016

LONDON – A British judge is analyzing legal issues stemming from a dispute between Madonna and her ex-husband Guy Ritchie over custody of their 15-year-old son, Rocco.

Judge Alistair MacDonald said Thursday the fact that case is being analyzed can be reported but that no further details can be published. He said earlier that he “fervently hopes” Madonna and ex-husband Guy Ritchie can reach an amicable solution to end the custody battle. He said a solution is in Rocco’s interest.

A U.S. judge involved in the case has made similar comments. Madonna wants Rocco, who lives with his filmmaker father in England, to return to her custody in the U.S.

Photographer and filmmaker Robert Frank appears Jan. 28 at the opening of the exhibition featuring his work, “Robert Frank: Books and Films, 1947-2016,” at New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts in New York.

Remnick, Wideman elected to Academy of Arts NEW YORK – When John Edgar Wideman learned he had been elected to the American Academy of Arts and Letters, his response was to welcome the news and to think about what it means.

“Yes, it’s great for me, but how does this recognition function in a larger society, how does it work?” the author of such acclaimed books as the memoir “Brothers and Keepers” and the novel “Philadelphia Fire” told The Associated Press during a recent interview.

The academy announced 12 inductees Thursday, among them photographer Robert Frank, former U.S. poet laureate Billy Collins and author, journalist and New Yorker editor David Remnick.

Other inductees include novelist Peter Carey, pioneering multimedia artist Joan Jonas and electronic music composer Paul Lansky, the academy told The Associated Press. The academy also elected the painter, stage designer and printmaker David Salle; artist Pat Steir; and composers Sebastian Currier and David Rakowski.

Two honorary foreign members were added: British author Julian Barnes and the German photographer Thomas Struth.

Founded in 1898, the academy is an honor society with 250 core members, divided among literature, music and the visual arts. Toni Morrison, Stephen Sondheim and Jasper Johns are among the current members.

Inductees have no obligations beyond agreeing to join, although many serve on prize committees for which they are paid a stipend.

Wideman said he read a history of the academy – sent to him by the academy. He noted the early record of excluding blacks (and almost anyone who wasn’t a male, white Christian) and cited Richard Wright and Zora Neale Hurston as among the writers never elected.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. – A lawyer for seven women suing Bill Cosby in Massachusetts for defamation said the comedian’s wife will answer questions under oath for a second day next month.

Camille Cosby answered questions on Feb. 22 and had been scheduled to undergo a second day of questioning next week.

Attorney Joseph Cammarata said Camille Cosby’s new attorneys requested more time. Both sides agreed to continue the deposition on April 18.

Cammarata said he hopes to depose Bill Cosby soon after Camille Cosby finishes her deposition, although no date has been set.

Bill Cosby’s lawyers have asked a judge to suspend the defamation case while a criminal sexual assault case is pending against him in Pennsylvania.

The women suing Cosby claim his representatives falsely branded them as liars when they publicly alleged he sexually assaulted them decades ago.

Wife files for divorce from singer Don McLean

CAMDEN, Maine – The wife of “American Pie” singer and songwriter Don McLean has filed for divorce in Maine.

A lawyer for Patrisha McLean said the legal papers filed Thursday cite “adultery, cruel and abusive treatment, and irrecon-

cilable differences.” The two have been married for 30 years.

Camden resident Don McLean was arrested in January on charges including domestic violence assault. He has pleaded not guilty.

He has been prohibited from having contact with his wife. A statement from Patrisha McLean’s attorney, Gene Libby, said she’s gained “strength and insight away from his influence and control.”

Don McLean’s divorce lawyer, Michael Asen, said his client denies the characterizations made by his wife’s lawyer. He also said Don McLean “cares very deeply about his wife and family” and that “this wasn’t what he wanted.”

Spielberg to give Harvard commencement address

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Filmmaker Steven Spielberg has been chosen to give Harvard’s 2016 commencement speech.

The three-time Academy Award winner is scheduled to address students May 26 at the Ivy League campus.

Harvard President Drew Faust said in a statement Thursday that Spielberg’s creativity has fueled countless imaginations and that his films underscore what it is to be human.

Spielberg has won Oscars for best picture and best director for “Schindler’s List,” and best director for “Saving Private Ryan.”

NEW YORK – The smell of BBQ is in the air and talk about virtual reality, online privacy and the latest hot apps is on everyone’s minds. It’s time again for South by Southwest Interactive, an annual tech festival dubbed “Spring Break for nerds.”

The five-day festival, which kicks off Friday in Austin, Texas, is more freewheeling than other tech conferences like CES in Las Vegas and Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain. It’s where St. Bernards delivering Mophie smartphone chargers to festival goers – as the charger maker arranged last year – can garner as much buzz as the apps brought to fame there, including Foursquare in 2009 and Twitter in 2007.

“It’s an interesting place to see what types of things are bubbling up in technology,” said Ryan Hoover, founder of Product Hunt, a service for people to rate new tech products. “It has this mixture or collision of technology and entertainment. When different types of minds and people are connecting together, new ideas come out.”

The festival has grown larger and more corporate over the years, with sponsors including McDonald’s and

bune, a nonprofit news outlet based in Austin.

Ethan Kurzweil, a Bessemer venture capitalist who has attended the festival for eight years, said that while South

by Southwest Interactive is no longer the little-known yet influential festival it once was, “you can still hear people talking about the very-bleeding-edge consumer tech trends.”

South by Southwest Interactive is part of the larger SXSW festival, which also features sections for movies, music and games over 10 days. The interactive conference drew 33,825 registrants from more than 80 countries last year; the combined festival had about 80,000.

Organizers drew criticism several months ago when, faced with threats, they canceled two panels on harassment in online video games. In response, the festival will hold a daylong “online harassment summit” Saturday, with a slate of panels examining online harassment. Another hot topic will be the U.S. government’s demands that Apple create a software program to bypass security features in an iPhone used by one of the San Bernardino mass shooters. One panel will focus on ways to improve the relationship between the government and the tech industry, while preserving privacy and security.

Parenting from afar

Parents let U.S. teen pursue ballerina dream at Russia’s Bolshoi academy

By LYNN BERRY

The Associated Press MOSCOW – Among the dozen 15-year-old girls in lavender leotards in Tatyana Galtseva’s class at the Bolshoi Ballet Academy, one is different. And it’s not just because of her long, swanlike neck.

She is Harper Ortlieb, an American, who left her small town in Oregon to move to Moscow to follow her dream of becoming a prima ballerina.

The prestigious academy has 84 foreigners among its 721 students, but few are accepted when they are as young as Harper and few are integrated into the regular Russian program.

The Bolshoi took notice of Harper during a summer program it held in Connecticut and offered her a place in the Moscow academy. She knew her teachers would be tough and it would be a challenge to be so far away from home, but it has been even harder than she expected.

“It’s been very difficult, but with that comes strength and with that I improve,” Harper said. “I feel like I came here to get better, to improve, not only technically but emotionally so when I dance people see something.”

One concern for her parents in the decision to send their daughter, then 14, to Moscow was the strain in U.S.-Russian relations and the strong anti-American sentiments in Russian society.

Harper, though, said she feels accepted by her classmates. In her Moscow neighborhood, the women in her favorite grocery store have taken a shine to the delicate American teen, helping her pick out fresh fruit and keeping her favorite almond butter stocked. And in the local Starbucks they have learned to spell her unusual name on her cup.

If Harper wants to be one of those rare foreigners who receive a diploma from the Bolshoi Ballet Academy, she has three more difficult years ahead.

But now she has her mother back by her side.

Harper’s mother, Layne Baumann, made two trips to Moscow after she and her husband, Tim Ortlieb, dropped off their only child in September. In February, Baumann decided to move to Moscow at least for the rest of the school year, and she now rents an apartment two blocks from the academy, which has allowed Harper to move out of the dormitory.

At the end of each day, Baumann

talks to her daughter about what she learned in class and logs onto Skype so Harper’s father can join the conversation from their home in Mount Hood, Oregon, 11 time zones away.

In addition to her dance classes, Harper has Russian language lessons

every day at the academy. For her other subjects, she does online classes in the evenings and on weekends. On Sundays, her only day off, she and her mother often explore their new city.

They also have already seen more performances at the Bolshoi Theater than

most Russians see in a lifetime.

Harper started ballet at a local dance school when she was 3 years old. When she turned 11, she was accepted to the School of Oregon Ballet Theatre in Portland, a three-hour roundtrip journey that she and her mother made six days a week.

“Being 3 in ballet class, it’s fun and games,” Harper said, smiling at the recollection. “My teacher was wonderful, it was so much fun. And then once I got more professional I realized how much you have to sacrifice, and how difficult it is.”

She talks about learning to deal with the pain of wearing pointe shoes and the constant feeling of doubt that she’s not good enough.

“Preparing for exams, I’m always very nervous,” she said. “There’s a lot of stress. But with that stress, you know, comes happiness and you feel overjoyed when you’re dancing, you forget about everything, you forget about the sacrifices you make, you forget about the pain, or the tears. Dancing is what makes me happy, no matter how much you have to sacrifice.”

From “The Loving Push”

Written by Temple Grandin and Debra Moore write, “because those on the spectrum are unlikely to automatically pick up the mundane but necessary tasks of daily life without us intentionally nudging them and providing them with information, encouragement, and persistence.”

The book tackles myriad subjects, albeit fleetingly: the importance of chores, sleep, exercise; the unfortunate loss of vocational classes in schools; the type of therapy best suited for children and teens on the spectrum; advice from the founder of a college transition program for students with autism. The book’s organization is free-flowing bordering on confusing, with a section on the benefits of volunteering coming after one dealing

RED HOTS

with romantic relationships.

Still, the information it contains is often helpful and thought-provoking: Pushing your teen to learn how to drive makes it less likely they’ll become a homebound recluse. It’s important to role-play potential interactions with police officers so your teen knows how to behave to decrease the risk of being misunderstood. Sharing mistakes and struggles from your own life, and explaining how you overcame them, provides an important model for your child.

Grandin’s personal experiences are a particularly welcome feature of the book. Grandin, a professor of animal science, shares that she used to be afraid to go to the store by herself,

until one day she was building something and needed a piece of lumber.

Her mother used that special interest as leverage, refusing to accompany Grandin to the store. Her mother accurately deduced that Grandin’s motivation to finish the project would override her anxiety and reluctance.

“The Loving Push” also includes the voices of other people on the spectrum and their caregivers, a valuable addition that would have benefited from more artful incorporation into the text and tighter editing.

The book’s central weaknesses are most apparent in the chapter on gaming. It’s hard to dispute compulsive gaming is bad and kids on the spectrum are particularly susceptible to becoming addicted. However, it erodes reader confidence to quote experts without giving their affiliations or credentials; to rely on anecdotal evidence instead of more rigorous research; and to suggest the increased incidence of autism correlates with the introduction of new gaming consoles in the early 2000s (the authors apparently didn’t have brothers who played Atari in the ’80s).

Quibbles aside, “The Loving Push” is a valuable addition to the bookshelf of an autism parent or professional.

In a new book by autism’s most famous spokesperson, Temple Grandin gives credit to her mother for nudging her outside her comfort zone, and she urges today’s parents to do the same for their children.

“The Loving Push,” co-written with psychologist Debra Moore, makes a convincing case that, more than other children, those on the spectrum need to be prodded to reach their potential.

“It can be tough to move our spectrum kids forward, because the autistic brain is usually very sensitive to change and novelty. Routines, rituals, and sameness are the preferred status quo,” the authors write. “Even introducing what to you seems to be a minor change can trigger major resistance or meltdowns. Sometimes it just doesn’t seem worth the fight. But we’re here to tell you that your child depends on you pushing them.”

Children on the autism spectrum may struggle with self-initiation and disorganization, and they may be easily overwhelmed – a perfect storm of challenges that impedes their ability to challenge themselves and grow.

“Pushing is necessary,” the authors

Counter stress to avoid overeating Dear Dr. K: I eat whenever I’m stressed out – and I always reach for the sweet stuff. Why does stress have this effect on me? How can I fight the urge?

Dear Reader: You’re not alone. Ongoing stress, the hormones it unleashes and the effects of high-fat, sugary “comfort foods” push many people toward overeating.

In the short term, stress can shut down appetite. But if stress persists, it’s a different story. In times of stress, the adrenal glands release a hormone called cortisol that increases appetite. It also may ramp up motivation in general – including the motivation to eat. Once a stressful episode is over, cortisol levels should fall. But if the stress doesn’t go away – or if a person’s stress response gets stuck in the “on” position – cortisol may stay elevated.

Stress also seems to affect food preferences. Numerous studies (many of them in animals) have shown physical or emotional distress increases the intake of food high in fat, sugar or both. High cortisol levels, in combination with high insulin levels, might be responsible.

Other research suggests ghrelin, a “hunger hormone,” might have a role.

Ghrelin is made in the stomach, after it has not been stretched by food for several hours. The hormone travels through the blood to the brain, where it signals you need to eat something.

Once ingested, fat- and sugar-filled foods seem to have a positive feedback effect. They inhibit activity in the parts of the brain that produce and process stress.

In a sense, these foods really are “comfort” foods in that they seem to counteract stress. This might explain why you reach for particular foods when you are feeling stressed. And why I do, too.

SUDOKU

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff How to fight the urge? The first step is obvious: Get rid of the high-fat, sugary foods in your kitchen. Keeping those foods handy is just inviting trouble.

But it is just as important, if not more so, to counter the stress that causes your cravings. Here are some suggestions: • Meditate. Countless studies show meditation reduces stress. It also may help you become more mindful of food choices. With practice, you may be able to pay better attention to the impulse to grab certain comfort foods and inhibit that impulse.

• Exercise. Low-intensity exercise seems to reduce levels of cortisol, and that should help decrease appetite. Some activities, such as yoga and tai chi, have elements of both exercise and meditation.

• Seek social support. Friends, family and other sources of social support seem to have a buffering effect on the stress people experience. Seek them out when stress starts to build.

I remember a patient who had several co-workers whom she found difficult. She was eating a lot of junk food and gaining weight. I advised her to walk for one hour every morning. She lost 40 pounds during the first year. “It wasn’t that the exercise burned it off,” she said. “The exercise chilled me out. They just didn’t bug me anymore.”

see your son’s.

While you crave peace and quiet at the end of the day, he worries you are isolating yourself.

Friendships aren’t supposed to drain people; they are supposed to be nurturing. People with rewarding companions they can laugh and commiserate with are happier, less stressed and live longer, so perhaps you should rethink your position.

Dear Abby: Ten years ago, when I lived in California, I dated the love of my life, “Tammy.” We were perfect together, and I often was amazed by how much I loved her.

After about two years we broke up, and I moved 3,000 miles away. My rebound relationship lasted a decade and produced a beautiful baby boy. After it recently ended, I reached out to Tammy. We hadn’t communicated in 10 years, and I learned she is married with three kids and she’s miserable.

She said she misses me and has never stopped loving me. We talk on the phone often, and she says she wants to see me. I have no idea where this is going, but I’d love to see her. What should I do? – Nostalgic In New York Dear Nostalgic: I’m glad you asked, although I doubt you will heed my advice. Here it is: You and Tammy should postpone any reunions until she has resolved her marital situation because there are more people involved now than just the two of you. Whether she remains in her unhappy marriage is anyone’s guess, but if you step in now, it will only add to her troubles.

Dear Abby: How do I respond to a gift when I don’t know whether or not it’s a gag gift? My sister sent a present that appears to be expensive, but is not only awful, it’s also tacky and weird.

She has a great sense of humor, but added no card or message that would give us a clue how to appropriately thank her. – Not Sure In New

Dear Abby: My DEAR ABBY son is driving me crazy. He’s Jeanne worried because Phillips I don’t have friends I hang out with. He said it’s not normal for a woman to not want to have friends. I say it is.

I work with people between 50 and 70 hours a week. I have more than a thousand town home and condo residents to deal with, and I receive nonstop complaints day in and day out. On top of that, I must supervise vendors and contractors, answer to several boards and have up to eight evening meetings a month.

When I finally get home, I don’t want to set up a shopping or dinner date with anybody. I want to sit in peace and quiet. I don’t want to be around people at all. I’m perfectly happy not having friends. Can you see my point? – Lady

We are looking for dedicated and experienced professionals to assume these key positions on our nursing team!

Benjamin Disraeli, the British prime minister from 1874 to 1880, said, “I feel a very unusual sensation -- if it is not indigestion, I think it must be gratitude.”

We have been looking at the Michaels Cue-Bid. Now let’s move to its poorer cousin, the Unusual NoTrump. If your right-hand opponent opens one of a suit, and you jump to two no-trump, you show at least 5-5 in the two lowest-ranking unbid suits. This was devised by Al Roth in 1948.

The snag with the Unusual NoTrump, especially when the opener bids a major, is that you are fighting with the minors, always having to go one level higher to outbid the opponents. And if they buy the contract, their declarer will accurately steer through the deal now that your hand is an open book.

In today’s deal, though, South plays in three diamonds. What should West lead?

South has 11 high-card points, but his minor-suit fit is not good enough to contemplate game unless North has a strong hand, with which he would move over three diamonds.

After this auction, the best lead is a trump. West wants to reduce the number of club ruffs South can take in his hand.

Here, suppose West leads a weird club five. South wins with dummy’s ace, ruffs a club, and drives out the heart ace. He wins West’s trump shift in his hand, cashes his high heart, ruffs a heart, ruffs a club, ruffs his last heart, cashes the diamond ace, and plays a spade. South must score dummy’s diamond jack to make his contract. But an initial trump lead defeats the contract.

If you are committed to team-oriented outcomes and quality care, we offer: Increased CNA Wages!

Vacation, PTO, Holiday!

Shift Differential!

Advancement Medical, Dental and Vision!

And Much More!

Third tweet No disrespect to the other gals, but Ali Andrews is the best in the state and should be the state’s player of the year – @PhilAlsot (On our girls basketball player of the year Twitter poll)

jstyf@shawmedia.com Olalere Oladipo could see the pride when he looked at former Illinois coach Bill Cubit on his recent Junior Day visit to the Illini.

The Huntley junior defensive end, whose first Division I football offer came from Cubit’s staff, was shocked when the coach was then fired last weekend, replaced early this week by Lovie Smith.

“You could see how Olalere proud Cubit was to be Oladipo the head coach,” Oladipo said. “He had a plan for the program. ... I had received mail from him and talked to him every week on the phone.”

Now, there’s transition. But the junior recruits, such as Oladipo and Richmond-Burton offensive tackle Dalton Wagner, aren’t getting lost.

Both said they have been contacted by an Illini assistant coach and are hoping to set up a time to speak with Smith soon.

“To me, [hiring Smith] might ultimately be a better decision,” Oladipo said. “I can say I’m pleased that Lovie was his replacement. I know that no mediocre coach is taking over the program.”

As the spring comes around, the recruiting season will heat up for juniors such as Oladipo, who has 12 Division I offers, and Wagner, who has 13. That means it will be important for the Illini and others to make headway quickly as recruits begin to pick their favorite spots.

Oladipo plans to visit Northwestern and Miami (Ohio) this weekend and has been talking with Penn State and Iowa State.

That pair, along with Jacobs quarterback Chris Katrenick, are the three area juniors who hold Division I offers. But they are probably not the only players who will end up with one.

Katrenick’s most recent offer came Wednesday from defending Division I FCS champion North Dakota State. He already had offers from Virginia, Miami (Ohio), Buffalo and Bowling Green.

Hampshire quarterback Jake Vincent also has spoken with North Dakota State coaches and plans to visit there

Can you tell when shocks, struts need replacement?

SPONSORED BY

By C.R. Walker It’s easy to remember to schedule oil changes and tire rotations because those are more frequent maintenance services that your vehicle requires.

As for shocks and struts, sometimes vehicles don’t take their vehicle in for such maintenance until they realizing that their car or truck isn’t riding as well as it was previously.

Most suspension manufacturers indicate that at 50,000 miles the performance of the shocks and struts will start to degrade.

“This is not true for every car and every driver but it is possible they could need replacement that early,” said Douglas McAllister, owner of Douglas Automotive. “Replacing the shocks and struts can be a little jolt to the checkbook, but it’s one of the most noticeable maintenance services you can do to your car and likely one you’ll notice the minute you sit down and drive away.”

You need properly functioning shocks and struts to maintain the balance and stability of your vehicle as you drive. If you encounter

any of the several handling characteristics that signify that now is the time to replace the shocks and struts, then you should soon schedule service with a trusted auto technician.

These characteristics include excessive leaning when making a lane change. This is known as body roll and in severe cases you could lose control of your vehicle. There’s traction loss when during a firm acceleration the drive wheel come off the ground and cause a skipping sensation.

Bottoming out and acceleration are other signs. These include a harsh bottoming feeling as well as for the back of the car to squat down. Nose dive is something you’d recognize while stopping as the nose of the car dives down to the pavement when braking, totally upsetting the balance of your vehicle.

Tire cupping occurs when you begin seeing a bad, choppy wear-pattern on your tires. Of course, any bouncy or harsh feeling while driving is a major telltale sign that replacement is needed.

this spring. Prairie Ridge tight end Austen Ferbet hopes to do the same.

Wagner’s most recent college visit was to Arkansas, where he spent plenty of time with new Razorbacks offensive line coach Kurt Anderson, and he came away pleased.

“Everyone was so nice,” Wagner said. “You’re not going to play for someone you don’t like, so that part is important. I also got to meet their strength coach (Ben Herbert).

Jake Vincent He’s a very intense coach, and that was awesome.”

At 6-foot-9 and 295 pounds, Wagner is simply larger than most football players, even offensive tackles. But he said that coaches have been impressed with his ability to play with a low pad level and speed, Jared which is why he has become Hornbeck such a hot commodity for college recruiters. He attributes plenty of that to his high school coaches, including R-B offensive line coach Tad DePorter, who continuously tells Wagner to get lower.

Wagner, who also recently visited Missouri, said he plans to narrow his list this summer and might wait to make a commitment until after the fall season.

Several area juniors, including Vincent,

teammate Jared Hornbeck, Ferbet and McHenry linebacker Colton Folliard were at the recent Junior Day at Northern Illinois. Folliard, who also visited Iowa State for Junior Day, feels he’s close to an offer from NIU, where his cousin Sean Folliard is a starting linebacker.

“I’ve been talking with them for about a year now,” Folliard said. “I’ve got a really good relationship with them. ... The first camp, when I went over there, coach (Rod) Carey told me that someday I could be replacing [Sean].”

Cary-Grove junior fullback and linebacker Tyler Pennington was also at Illinois’ Junior Day, along with Oladipo and Joe Moore Wagner, and took visits to Western Michigan and Central Michigan, as well.

Johnsburg lineman Joe Moore, who recently visited Buffalo, is one of the many athletes hoping the work they are doing now will pay off in offers this summer. Johnsburg coach Tyler Dan DeBoeuf has organized Pennington speed and agility training for all athletes at the school, along with coaches Rob Eastland and Sam Lesniak, while Moore also takes a weightlifting class and is throwing the shot put.

“Coach DeBoeuf told us, the day after we lost to Phillips, we were expected to be back in the weight room,” Moore said. “(What they’ve done), I feel like that has helped out our school as a whole.”

R-B grad Sheedlo makes indoor nationals ON CAMPUS Barry Bottino For much of last season, Talia Sheedlo was busy crunching numbers.

The Aurora University track and field athlete would use an online calculator to enter all of her personal records, carefully checking just how high her scores in the indoor pentathlon could go.

“I would put in all my PRs and see that I was scoring in the top 10 in the nation, but I couldn’t ever do it at a meet,” said Sheedlo, a Richmond-Burton graduate.

She had high hopes of qualifying for the NCAA Division III indoor nationals a year ago but faltered at a last-chance meet.

This season, the Aurora and Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference pentathlon record holder eschewed math for philosophy.

“This season was a little bit harder, transitioning from cross country to track,” said Sheedlo, a senior whose pentathlon record was 3,147 points. “It took a little bit more time getting into the sprinting and jumping modes.”

At her first two pentathlon competitions, she posted scores of 2,900 and “just over 3,000,” she said. “I was really frustrated.”

So Sheedlo focused on her attitude going into last weekend’s last-chance qualifying meet at Ohio Northern University. A busy nursing major who works as an in-home caregiver for a patient with ALS, Sheedlo even thought about not attending the meet.

“There was a point when I didn’t want to go,” she said. “I thought, ‘What is the point?’ But I just went in and said, ‘I’m going to try my best and see what happens.’ ” The results were staggering.

Sheedlo’s last chance to qualify as a senior turned into a victorious career-best 3,301 points, which broke her own AU and NACC records, along with setting a record at Ohio Northern’s track and field facility. And, it gave Sheedlo a coveted spot in the national meet, which begins Friday and concludes Saturday in Grinnell, Iowa.

“I didn’t set a number for myself,” she said. “I didn’t expect anything. I tried to not put so much pressure on myself. Last year, I went into the last chance meet really, really, really hoping that I would qualify and it didn’t go the way I planned.”

When she began last weekend’s meet with a victory in the 60-meter hurdles at 9.31 seconds, her hopes soared.

“That was a pretty good moment because it was one of my best times this season,” she said. “I had been hurdling in the 9.40s and 9.50s.”

Richmond-Burton graduate Talia Sheedlo competes for the Aurora University track and field team. She qualified in the heptathlon for the NCAA Division III Indoor Championships, which begin Friday in Grinnell, Iowa.

Sheedlo then posted a personal record of 5 feet, 0½ inch in the high jump.

After a seventh-place finish in the shot put (27-10), she finished second in the long jump at 16-9¾, a career best in a pentathlon competition.

With only the 800-meter run remaining, she had an opportunity to crunch more numbers, but chose not to.

“My coach asked, “How much do you want to know?’ ” Sheedlo said. “I told him, ‘Don’t tell me anything.’ I wasn’t counting points the whole meet.”

Sheedlo then posted a PR of 2:24.36 to set a facility record and push her point total into national qualifying territory.

She enters the national meet with the 10th-best score in the country and is only 43 points behind the seventh-place qualifier.

“It’s exciting because I’m a senior and I’ve been wanting and hoping for this,” she said.

But Sheedlo doesn’t expect to use online calculators to check the possibilities of making the top eight, which would earn her All-America status.

“I tried to stay away from it,” she said.

Top Demon thrower Hedge: Crystal

Lake South grad Kyle Hedge finished third in the shot put (51-11¾) at the Big East Conference indoor track and field championships last month in Staten Island, New York.

The DePaul athlete earned All-Big East honors as the top freshman finisher in the event and helped the Blue Demons place third in the team standings.

Hedge’s third-place throw at conference was his personal best this season and third-best throw in the conference all season.

Taulien’s Elmira hockey success: Prairie Ridge’s Alexander Taulien, a winger at D-III Elmira (N.Y.) College, signed a professional tryout contract with the Missouri Mavericks of the East Coast Hockey League, the college announced Wednesday.

In three seasons with Elmira, Taulien scored 27 goals and compiled 50 points. This season, the junior has scored 14 points (seven goals, seven assists) in 16 games. He joins a Missouri team that leads the ECHL with a 45-7-3 record. The Mavericks already have clinched a playoff berth.

Horizon League standout Crepeau:

UIC sophomore Michael Crepeau

won the long jump (21-2) and shot put (38-11¾) last month to place second in the heptathlon at the Horizon League indoor track and field championships in Youngstown, Ohio.

Crepeau, a Prairie Ridge grad, posted a total of 4,374 points to earn all-conference honors. Crepeau’s point total was the second-highest in the conference this season.

Dabrowski’s superb Monmouth debut:

Becca Dabrowski (McHenry West) made her college water polo debut with a team-high 14 assists along with 12 goals, as D-III Monmouth College’s women’s team went 2-3 in the season-opening Macalester Tournament last month.

Dabrowski was named to the Rookie of the Week honor roll by the Water Polo Association.

Monmouth set records for most goals scored and fewest allowed to start a season in the five-game tournament.

Woodstock North senior Wolfgang Kemp, whose story of perseverance inspired people around McHenry County, as well as Illinois, was chosen as the Section 4 winner of the National High School Spirit of Sport Award.

Kemp was announced in late February as the Illinois nominee for the award, given by the National Federation of State High School Associations each year. Each state gets one nominee, then those nominees are divided into eight sections across the nation.

Kemp, a football player and wrestler who is homeless, was the winner for Section 4, which is comprised of Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan and Wisconsin.

He was not selected as the overall winner for the nation.

The story of Kemp’s positive attitude through unfortunate circumstances first appeared in the Northwest Herald in September. Thunder football coach Jeff Schroeder told the Herald of how Kemp, in the summer of 2014, walked 51/2 miles to school for football workouts because he had no ride each day. Then, he

Huffar, started a GoFundMe page that raised $12,775 for Wolfgang and his father Wilbur Kemp.

Butch and Jan Wanderer, of Hebron, fixed up a 1994 Ford Crown Victoria so Wolfgang had a mode of transportation. Many others made contributions to Kemp through the school either with clothing or money.

The IHSA shared the story on its website and Kemp became known around the state. In January, IHSA assistant executive director Matt Troha visited Woodstock North and wrote a story for the association’s website and Kemp’s nomination for the Spirit of Sport Award.

The NFHS voted for the section winners and national winner last week and just released those names Thursday. The award was created by the NFHS “to recognize those individuals who exemplify the ideals of the spirit of sport that represent the core mission of education-based athletics.”

Troha said the IHSA plans to recognize Kemp at next week’s Classes 3A and 4A state basketball tournaments in Peoria. Troha was uncertain whether it would be Friday or Saturday.

joestevenson@shawmedia.com Jacobs boys basketball coach Jimmy Roberts kept his emotions under control Tuesday night after the Golden Eagles’ season had ended.

Roberts said he is an emotional guy, but the team’s 58-39 loss to Rockford Auburn in the Class 4A Rock Valley College Sectional semifinals was easier to swallow for multiple reasons.

Jacobs (23-7) won the Fox Valley Conference Valley Division championship, then claimed its second regional title in three seasons. And the Eagles accomplished that with a relatively new cast around 6-foot-9 center Cameron Krutwig.

“We maxed out with these guys,” Roberts said. “I’m very, very happy, content, satisfied with all those things we were able to get to.”

Jacobs lost guards Chrishawn Orange, Kenton Mack, Corey Boeckh and Mike Canady, along with forward Matt Bindi, to graduation last season. Orange plays at Augustana College, one of the top NCAA Division III programs in the country, and Mack plays at D-II Northern Michigan.

Yet the Eagles, who won the Valley Division with a 10-0 record, were strong again because of Krutwig’s inside presence and the emergence of young players on the perimeter. Sophomore guard Nikolas Balkcom and Ryan Phillips were key players. Juniors Adam Kale, Mason Materna and Cooper Schwartz also played key roles and will be returning with Krutwig, who has 12 D-I offers.

“We have a chance to be a really, really, really special basketball team next year,” Roberts said. “We’re going to play a very high level of competition in the summer. It’s a special group of kids, which makes it really exciting and something to look forward to.

Cam’s probably ready to go already.”

Rockets should rise: Richmond-Burton was a team hit hard by injuries this season when 6-6 forward Reggie Banks and guard Jesse Hill-Male suffered ACL injuries during the football season.

The Rockets, led by guards Blaine Bayer and Jake Kaufman, still competed well and could be a team to beat in the first season of the Kishwaukee River Conference.

Bayer and Kaufman should return for their fourth varsity seasons, HillMale will be back, and Mark Marzahl proved to be a 3-point threat this sea-

son. Then, there also will be 6-10 Joey St. Pierre, who started the school year at La Lumiere Prep School in LaPorte, Indiana, but transferred back to R-B in January.

Woodstock’s winningest: Woodstock center Nick Kubiak, a 6-8 senior, was recognized at the Blue Streaks’ awards night this week as the winningest player in the program’s history.

Kubiak played on teams that won 67 games in his four seasons (19 as a freshman, 14 as a sophomore, 16 as a junior and 18 this season). Kubiak was fortunate to return from tearing his left ACL six months after surgery to play from early February on.

Kubiak played on the Streaks’ Class 3A regional championship team as a freshman.

Missing Pischke: Marian Central coach Curtis Price already knows how much the Hurricanes will miss the school’s career scoring leader Adam Pischke next season.

Pischke finished his career with 1,775 points and terrified defenses all over for the past three seasons with his outside shooting and his ability to drive and score. The Hurricanes should have a strong inside presence with 6-8 junior Sam Ohlrich and 6-6 sophomore Thomas Menner next season, while 6-4 junior Jack Moscinski averaged almost 10 points a game and kept improving throughout the season.

But Pischke drove the Hurricanes to a 17-10 record.

“We had a great season,” Price said.

“Having someone like Adam Pischke on your team and watching every team come – day in and day out – and try to contain him and not being able to was great. Our whole season, the only team that was able to stop him was Marian Catholic. No one else was able to control him.”

Marian Catholic finished 23-6 after losing, 62-57, to Chicago Simeon in a Class 4A Bloom Sectional semifinal.

Bulls guard Derrick Rose drives around Spurs center Tim Duncan to score during the first half Thursday in San Antonio. when asked what it would mean if the Bulls fell short of making the postseason. “No. 1, we all want to make the playoffs. Two, control what I can control, and three, if we wasn’t to make it,

around each other as long as San Antonio has been, you know each other like the back of your hand. They play off of each other, they throw no-look passes, they always know that they’re one step ahead of you.”

The Bulls will have little time to rest now, facing Miami at home Friday night.

Butler update: The status with Butler’s left knee didn’t change Thursday.

His mind being eased definitely did.

The two-time All-Star received the news that the Bulls organization expected him to hear, as his visit down to Florida and Dr. James Andrews revealed that there was nothing structurally wrong with his left knee, and he could continue a workout program to get him back on the court.

The only question still unanswered was when will that return take place?

According to Hoiberg, Butler worked out Thursday night in Chicago, would be re-evaluated in the morning, and then go through another workout Friday afternoon. If all goes well, there’s even a chance Butler could play in the game against Miami later that night.

SAN ANTONIO – There were good moments.

Derrick Rose continued playing at a high level, Justin Holiday has emerged as a rotation option, and E’Twaun Moore had another solid performance starting for the injured Jimmy Butler.

Rose and Pau Gasol had 21 points each, and Moore had 20 points, going 4 for 5 on 3-pointers.

Good moments indeed.

But the Bulls needed perfection Thursday at the AT&T Center in order to beat the Spurs, and after the 109-101 loss to the Western Conference powerhouse, found themselves again on the outside looking in for the Eastern Conference playoffs.

Not only did the loss end a two-game winning streak, but dropped the Bulls (32-31) out of that No. 8 spot, which is now occupied by the Detroit Pistons.

There’s still time with 19 games left, but it’s not the friendliest schedule, and it’s still a team looking for a consistent identity as March rolls along.

“It would mean a lot,” Rose said,

I’ll be able to be with my son.”

Definitely more daddy time than was expected.

The front office deemed this roster a championship-caliber team in the offseason. So far they’ve only panned out to be a team trying to claw its way into a playoff spot. Not a good look, but definitely their reality.

“Not really,” Rose said, when asked if he’s starting to look ahead at the remainder of the schedule with so much at stake. “That’s off the strength of I never look at the schedule because I don’t want to get my mind racing too much or not being able to sleep at night. So just take it day-by-day, gameby-game until the day of the game.”

Which hasn’t been an issue for the Spurs this season.

With the win over the Bulls, they improved to 55-10 on the season, as well as winning their 40th straight home game going back to last season, and their 31st straight this season. A model of consistency that Gar/Pax could only dream in duplicating.

“Such a great team that plays so well together,” Bulls coach Fred Hoiberg said of the Spurs. “When you’re

8 COLLEGE BASKETBALL: BIG TEN TOURNAMENT

Illinois holds on for upset of Iowa The ASSOCIATED PRESS

INDIANAPOLIS – Illinois thought it had Thursday’s upset secured with 3 minutes to go.

Then the 12th-seeded Fighting Illini suddenly unraveled.

They blew an 11-point lead in 98 seconds before getting a tie-breaking 16-foot jumper from Malcolm Hill with 1:14 to go and held on to defeat fifth-seeded and 20th-ranked Iowa, 68-66, in the second round of the Big Ten tournament.

“I had an awful game, probably one of my worst games of the year,” Hill said after making only 2 of 9 shots. “To be able to know my teammates and coaches have confidence to give me the ball in that situation, it makes it that much easier to make plays for this team.”

The big shot he made, however, gave Illinois (15-18) its second consecutive win and a ticket into Friday’s quarterfinal round against fourth-seeded and 13th-ranked Purdue.

It was an implausible finish to a wild game that had a little bit of everything.

Jalen Coleman-Lands scored 17 points and broke the school’s freshman record for 3-pointers by going 5 of 10. He

Kendrick Nunn added 16 points.

Peter Jok matched his career high with 29 points before fouling out with 4:02 to play after a replay review. Jarrod Uthoff scored 21 as the Hawkeyes (21-10) lost for fifth time in six games.

Michigan 72, Northwestern 70 (OT): It was a shot Zak Irvin was more than willing to take.

The Michigan guard’s game-winning jumper from the right wing with 3.3 seconds to play capped a 19-point effort, lifting No. 8 seed Michigan to an overtime victory against No. 9 seed Northwestern.

Irvin, who grew up in the Indianapolis suburb of Fishers and graduated from Hamilton Southeastern High School, added eight rebounds, two assists and two steals.

The Wolverines (21-11) trailed 70-67, but Duncan Robinson’s 3-pointer with 46.5 seconds remaining tied it. Northwestern (20-12) missed an opportunity to retake the lead, and Michigan ran the clock down from 29.3 seconds to set up Irvin’s game winner.

Robinson led Michigan with 21 points and Muhammad-Ali Abdur-Rahkman added 14. The Wolverines advance to play No. 1 seed Indiana in Friday’s first quarterfinal.

Tre Demps led Northwestern with 21, Alex Olah had 20 and Bryant McIntosh scored 19.

Olah’s 3-pointer with 17 seconds to play in regulation pulled Northwestern to within 59-58. Robinson made one of two free throws with 14.3 seconds left for a 60-58 lead, and Olah’s rebound basket

just ahead of the final horn forced overtime, tied at 60.

Michigan shot 38 percent and Northwestern shot 37 percent.

Nebraska 70, Wisconsin 58: Shavon Shields scored 20 points and grabbed nine rebounds to lead 11th-seeded Nebraska over No. 6 seed Wisconsin.

Nebraska (16-17) will face No. 3 seed Maryland in Friday’s quarterfinals.

Wisconsin (20-12), the defending Big Ten Tournament champion, was eliminated in its first game of the tournament for the first time since 2011.

Nebraska led for the final 15½ minutes of the game. Wisconsin got to within three at 55-52 with 5:39 but got no closer.

Ethan Happ led Wisconsin with 17 and Vitto Brown had 16.

Ohio St. 79, Penn St. 75: Marc Loving scored 24 points, JaQuan Lyle had 22, and they teamed up to score all seven points in a late run to help seventh-seeded Ohio State finally put away from 10th-seeded Penn State (16-16).

The Buckeyes (20-12) desperately needed a win to keep their NCAA tourney hopes alive. They will face second-seeded Michigan State in the third quarterfinal Friday.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL: MID-AMERICAN CONFERENCE TOURNAMENT

Ohio knocks out NIU in quarterfinals with 3-pointers SHAW MEDIA The Ohio men’s basketball team didn’t miss much against Northern Illinois on Thursday.

The Bobcats hit the Huskies with a barrage of outside shots and won, 79-62, in the quarterfinals of the Mid-American Conference tournament at Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland.

Ohio, which led by as much as 24, finished the game 14 for 29 from the 3-point line.

ership role at Kentucky. It clearly still means a lot as he takes the next step in his NFL career where he reunites with coach John Fox, who always reminded him about how far he has come.

“I always respected him, and he was always in my ear telling me, ‘Danny, no matter where you come from, you can go places, man. Sixth-round draft pick, people overlook you all this and that, but you’re here now. Make a name for yourself,’ ” Trevathan said.

The other connection to make Trevathan feel comfortable about a move to Chicago was Bears director of college scouting Anthony “Champ” Kelly, who was with Denver and played his college ball at Kentucky.

“I’m sure he [helped] upstairs,” Trevathan said. “He helped get me to Denver for sure (after college). …

Champ, we’ve got a chemistry together when I see him. It’s a Kentucky thing.”

That Kentucky experience has resonated with Trevathan, even referring to the adversity there when describing how he handles the on-field job of covering tight ends.

“I take pride in shutting down people and not letting people beat me,” he said. “I hate losing. I lost so much in college, I just hate that taste. What’s going to help me not do that is my offseason preparation. I prepare like no other.”

BEARS NOTES

New Bears OT Massie learned from 2013 benching

By KEVIN FISHBAIN

kfishbain@chicagofootball.com LAKE FOREST – Taking a look at new Bears right tackle Bobby Massie’s career statistics, there’s a gap in 2013.

He started every game as a rookie in 2012, and then took a back seat in Bruce Arians’ first season to Eric Winston, the Cardinals’ right tackle that season. He appeared in eight games with zero starts that season.

“You can’t get the big head,” Massie said Thursday from Halas Hall of what he learned from that season. “You’ve got to stay humble. You’ve got to respect the process. That was a big learning experience for me. It helped out a lot even though I didn’t think that it was. I lived and I learned from it. It helped me to succeed in the future.”

Massie went through team and indi-

vidual adversity his first two seasons before the Cardinals took off the past two years, when Massie started 33 games, including postseason. Now he hopes to bring that winning pedigree to a Bears organization that hasn’t made the playoffs since 2011.

“It’s a good organization and they’re on the uprise. They’ve got a lot of good things that’s going on here,” Massie said. “And they’re making strides to make progress and being able to play with a good friend of mine, play right beside him, play for a good quarterback and the offensive capabilities that they have here, that’s what did it for me.”

That good friend, Kyle Long, worked hard to get Massie, his training partner at LeCharles Bentley’s offensive line performance center in Arizona, to come to Chicago.

“Me and Kyle, we’ve been talking

about this for the past two weeks,” Massie said. “He’s been in my ear, trying to get me to come to Chicago and recruit me and things and once I finally did give him notice that I was coming, he was screaming and shouting on the phone, he was real happy to hear that.”

Visits with Hicks, Gresham set: The Bears have visits set up in the next day with players that fill two positions of need.

According to the Chicago Tribune and Chicago Sun-Times, former Saints and Patriots defensive end Akiem Hicks will meet with the Bears on Friday.

The Bears have been interested in the five-technique since the start of the legal tampering period. A 6-foot-5, 324-pounder, Hicks was drafted by the Saints in 2012 when current Bears general manager Ryan Pace and director of player personnel Josh Lucas were with the or-

ganization, so there is certainly a familiarity factor.

Last year, Hicks, 26, was traded to the Patriots, where he had three sacks in 13 games. The Bears have not re-signed either Jarvis Jenkins or Mitch Unrein and have big needs along the defensive line.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported tight end Jermaine Gresham also is visiting the Bears.

The 6-5, 260-pounder turns 28 in June.

He signed with the Cardinals before last preseason. In 15 games (12 starts), Gresham had 18 catches for 223 yards and one touchdown last season, all career lows.

McManis signs 2-year deal: The Bears re-signed cornerback and special-teamer Sherrick McManis to a two-year deal Thursday. McManis, 28, played in all 16 games last season with four starts and had 29 tackles on defense and a teamhigh 11 on special teams.

LAKE FOREST – Danny Trevathan stresses humility. It may be a bit more difficult now that he’s a $24.5 million man with a Super Bowl ring brought to Chicago to fix the Bears’ defense.

But Trevathan has his reasons to stay humble. Not just being undersized, slipping to the sixth round of the 2012 draft, or remembering the 2014 recovery from a dislocated kneecap.

Trevathan takes himself back to a 2011 service trip to Ethiopia.

“Life-changing,” Trevathan said of the trip he took while on the Kentucky football team. “I learned to not take

anything for granted, man. People don’t realize what we have in front of us. I take that anger on the field with me.

“Just to see people like that – we visited an orphanage, a widow colony and a leprosy colony. It was some life-changing stuff, seriously. I advise anybody who has time to Danny go over there. It will Trevathan change your life and make you turn around for the better.”

Trevathan went to Ethiopia before his senior year, and the lessons learned then helped him to take a lead-

CUBS SPRING TRAINING

By GORDON WITTENMYER gwittenmyer@suntimes.com

Thursday were a 45-foot underhand throw to first for an out in the first, and a throwing error in the second on another ball hit to him.

On that one, the runner on second got caught too far off the bag but instead of making a quick 40-foot throw to second when the runner committed, Lester took two steps, triple-pumped and shortarmed the ball into the ground for an error.

Lester is one of the top starting pitchers in the game, and his career discomfort fielding his position and throwing to bases has not prevented him from making three All-Star teams and helping the Red Sox win two World Series.

But for a team inspiring World Series expectations from Lincoln Park to Las Vegas, a pitcher with the yips at the front end of the rotation could quickly turn to cause for concern in close games,

in a close race, if opponents can exploit it.

“It’s something going back to the minor leagues and high school; it’s something that I’ve never been comfortable with,” Lester said. “I’m a bigger guy. I have a harder time with being in the infield. I never played the infield; I played the outfield.”

He makes no excuses. And he improved some over the course of last season.

Schwarber hurt: Slugger Kyle Schwarber is expected to be sidelined for at least a few days after hurting his left knee on a play in left field early in Thursday’s spring training game against Seattle.

“I don’t think it’ll be anything significant,” said Schwarber, who said he “tweaked” his knee when he landed, following through on a throw to the plate in the bottom of the second inning.

WHITE SOX SPRING TRAINING NOTES

New Sox OF Jackson close to making spring debut

By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN

dvanschouwen@suntimes.com

GLENDALE, Ariz. – Austin Jackson, signed Sunday for one year and $5 million, saw live pitching in a simulated game against Chris Sale and others Wednesday and said he’s “hopefully pretty close” to playing in a game. This weekend seems to be a good bet.

“Hopefully I get a couple more of those [simulated games] under my belt and see where I’m at and go from there,” he said.

Jackson has to get through the usual aches and pains of the first week or so.

“Oh yeah. Every spring training,” he said. “That’s nothing new. Once you get out there and put those spikes on and

get on the grass and get moving around you go through those couple days with sore legs.”

So far, the transition to a new clubhouse has been smooth for Jackson, whose locker is next to former Tigers teammate Alex Avila.

“It’s been pretty easy,” he said. “I’ve played with some of these guys and I’ve played against some of the guys for a while so it wasn’t that hard. It’s a pretty easy transition. You have a good mix of guys with some experience and some young guys. I think I fit really well in this group.”

Proud papa: Shortstop Tim Anderson returned after missing four days to be with his fiancée in Atlanta for the birth of a daughter, Peyton.

results this time, giving up a run on two hits over 21/3 innings to the Royals. His first start (two innings, five hits, three runs) also was against the World Series champion Royals.

“I felt more comfortable with it,” Fulmer said. “It was my second time facing them, and I’m getting a good feel of how the pace of a game goes. And the approach that a lot of these guys have.”

Left-hander Jose Quintana, making his first start after pitching in B games only, allowed two runs over 41/3 innings.

He would have been perfect through three against the Rangers’ top lineup if not for Todd Frazier’s first error.

“I feel great,” Quintana said. “My arm felt good, all my pitches were working for the first time.’’

“Very excited, very happy,” said Anderson, the Sox’s top position player prospect. “It was a great moment. I didn’t want to come back. It was sad to leave.”

Anderson, 22, said he returned with a different outlook on life.

“Actually it just motivates me more to keep pushing myself,” Anderson said.

Anderson, who entered Thursday’s split-squad game in Surprise in the sixth inning, flashed his first-round talent by going deep in the hole to his right, turning and throwing with a quick release in midair for a forceout at second.

PEORIA, Ariz. – Don’t hit it to Jon Lester.

That might not exactly be the most reliable game plan. But it might be the Cubs’ best hope for avoiding problems on the infield in close games when Lester is pitching this year.

Especially after the Cubs’ $155 million left-hander revealed Thursday that he has never felt comfortable throwing to bases, going all the way back to high school.

“For me it’s always been different,” said Lester after an awkward two innings in the field during his spring debut against the Seattle Mariners. “They tell you to throw the ball a certain way or to field the ball a certain way and then throw it from down here or up here. It’s

just something that’s always been uncomfortable.”

After dealing with the issue much of his first season with the Cubs last year – allowing a major league-high 44 stolen bases – the fielding part of the game reared its head again Thursday during an ugly two innings that included 15 batters faced and six Mariner runs (three Jon Lester earned).

“It’s something that I’ve continued to work on, and I’ll continue to work on and just try to get better at it every day,” said Lester, who spends time every morning of camp on extra personal work throwing to bases and fielding. “That’s all I can really do.”
