Duck Soup in danger of closing Members to hold emergency meeting to decide fate of DeKalb grocery co-op By BRETT ROWLAND browland@shawmedia.com DeKALB – After 40 years in DeKalb, the Duck Soup Co-op may close its doors, according to a letter sent to members of the cooperatively owned natural foods market and posted on the organization’s Facebook page. The co-op is holding an emergency general members’ meeting at 5 p.m. Sunday at Duck Soup Co-op, 129 E. Hillcrest Drive, DeKalb. The meeting is open to the public, but only co-op members will be able to vote, board member Patty Ruback said Tuesday.

“Unfortunately, we failed to adapt fast enough in the present marketplace,” the Duck Soup Board wrote in a letter to members. “The Duck Soup Co-op needs serious and substantial financial commitment to continue. We recently con-
sulted with an adviser from the Food Cooperative Initiative, and he evaluated our situation and offered recommendations. At this general membership meeting, we need to determine if there is financial support to keep the Duck Soup operating.” Ruback declined to discuss the details of co-op’s financial information, but said that information would be presented at Sunday’s meeting. “We’re struggling financially, but it’s not insurmountable,” Ruback said of the challenges the organization faces. The co-op began four decades ago as a buyer’s club
with the goal of providing locals access to healthy food options – long before “organic” become a marketing buzzword. Duck Soup evolved over the years and eventually opened a 1,500-square-foot retail store, which has been open to members and the public. Equity members get discounts based on the amount of equity they have in the cooperative, Ruback said. Over the years, Duck Soup lost its “vision and didn’t keep up with the changing marketplace,” Ruback said. Other co-ops in Illinois offer

Gov. Rauner tells studio to return state grant The ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO – Gov. Bruce Rauner has ordered a Chicago TV and movie studio to return a $10 million state grant awarded by his predecessor, Pat Quinn. Rauner’s order comes after a Chicago Sun-Times report that the grant was awarded to Cinespace Chicago Film Studios for the purchase of land that wasn’t for sale. Owners of six properties listed in the grant have told the newspaper that they don’t plan to sell their properties. The Sun-Times reports there’s no indication the studio has spent any of the money. The newspaper also found that there weren’t appraisals for the land indicating prices were accurate, and that the state didn’t have documents showing the studio had pending contracts or had been in negotiations. “The administration has very serious concerns about the lack of supporting documentation and the failure of the Quinn administration to abide by normal procedures for issuing grants,” Rauner spokesman Lance Trover said. “Following a review, Gov. Rauner has ordered the $10 million grant to Cinespace be terminated and the funds returned.” The studio applied for the grant less than two weeks after Quinn lost to Rauner in November, according to records. Quinn spokesman William Morgan said the former governor wasn’t personally involved in awarding the grant, but that he backed the studio’s expansion on Chicago’s West Side because it would create jobs. The grant was administered through the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity, Morgan said. Cinespace received five grants totaling $27.3 million in Quinn’s time as governor. Morgan noted Tuesday that the agreement required the studio to return the grant money from the

THE REASONS
The Associated Press
The study didn’t examine why the pay gap exists, but Muench listed several possible reasons: • Some women nurses may leave the work force to have children, returning to a lower pay scale than male peers who continued working during those absences. • Male nurses may be better at negotiating pay raises, as has been suggested in research on gender pay gaps in other professions. • Gender discrimination. Muench said studies are needed to determine whether any of these explains the gap.
THE QUOTE “Are we surprised? No. Are we dismayed? Yes,” McMenamin said. “Any pay differentials should reflect differences in experience and skill and not simply differences in gender.”

Fix for crashes rejected by transportation companies
facebook.com/ dailychronicle
By MARTHA WAGGONER @dailychronicle
The Associated Press RALEIGH, North Carolina – America’s railroads want five more years to stop train wrecks using a high-tech system costing more than $15 billion. But experts tell The Associated Press that it won’t keep trains and trucks from crashing together unless both industries use a common-sense solution available right away: actually talking with each other before crossing into each other’s territory. Plenty of fingers have been pointed since an Amtrak train slammed into a massive tractor-trailer in North Carolina this month, injuring 55 people. No one warned the railroad beforehand that a huge truckload could be in the way. But as it turns out, no one had to. “It is crazy that this doesn’t get coordinated with the railroad, considering how difficult this operation can be and how long it takes to cross it,” Rob Molloy, acting director of highway safety for the National Transportation Safety Board, told The AP on Tuesday. Unfortunately, no federal law or regulation backed by stiff criminal or civil penalties specifically requires coordination between truck and train operators, the AP found

In this frame grab from video provided by WTVD-11, authorities respond to a collision between an Amtrak passenger train and a truck March 9 in Halifax County, N.C. after reviewing state and federal regulations and safety recommendations and interviewing dozens of experts. About a third of the states, including North Carolina, don’t require it, either. “There’s no state or federal law that says someone has to call,” North Carolina DOT spokesman Steve Abbott confirmed. No one involved has taken any public responsibility for failing to coordinate the Halifax crossing in advance: not drivers of the truck or its pilot and chase cars, not the trooper escorting the load, not
the trucking company, nor the state transportation agency officials who approved the planned route and required that a copy be shared with the state Highway Patrol. No one in this chain was tasked with making another copy for the railroad, or calling CSX Transportation Inc. dispatchers to warn approaching trains to go slow. Trucks get in accidents at highway-rail crossings about 10 times a week in the U.S., federal regulators said. Of these, supersized loads can be particularly challenging: An Associated Press review
of news coverage found oversized tractor-trailers were hit at least 20 times in 2013 and 2014. “If you are trying to take an unexpected or surprising or complicated load over railroad tracks ... you should be letting the railroad know you are planning to do that and coordinating,” said Sarah Feinberg, acting administrator of the Federal Railroad Administration. The FRA rules the rails and the Federal Highway Administration runs the roads, but each focuses on its own domain.

High nursing home bills squeeze insurers, driving rates up By MATTHEW CRAFT The Associated Press NEW YORK – Thirty years ago, insurance companies had the answer to the soaring cost of caring for the elderly.

also trying to get out of the business right and left.” Four of the five largest providers – including Manulife and MetLife – have either scaled back their business or stopped selling new policies, according to Moody’s. The largest provider, Genworth Financial, continues to offer them, yet has struggled under the weight of rising costs. The trends behind the industry’s troubles sound like good news outside the world of insurance. Older Americans are healthier and living longer. But that makes it difficult for the industry to turn a profit. Stays in nursing homes tend to last longer, so insurers have to pay out more in benefits than they had planned.

Deer running free in DeKalb County County voters to see anti-corruption measure on ballot By BRETT ROWLAND browland@shawmedia.com DeKALB – DeKalb County voters will be asked if they support a Massachusetts-based group’s plan for eradicating corruption and overhauling campaign finance laws. It’s the only countywide referendum on the ballot in the April 7 election. The DeKalb County Board voted in December to put the nonbinding referendum on the ballot at the request of the Rockford chapter of Represent.Us. Represent.Us, a nonpartisan nonprofit organization, is working to change politics by passing local referendums supporting the organization’s Anti-Corruption Act, which it views as model “legislation that sets a standard for city, state and federal laws that prevent money from corrupting American government,” according to the organization’s website represent.us. The act would “stop political bribery by overhauling lobbying and ethics laws,” “end secret money by increasing dramatically transparency” and “give every voter a voice by creating citizen-funded elections,” according to the website. Represent.Us uses the “ballot initiative process to bypass local legislatures” to enact legislation and raise awareness, the website said. A similar nonbinding referendum passed in Genoa Township in November 2014. Other referendums have been approved by voters in some parts of Massachusetts and in Tallahassee, Florida, said Mansur Gidfar, communications director for Represent. Us. The County Board didn’t take a position on the referendum question, but decided to pass it along to voters on the ballot, County Board Chairman Mark Pietrowski Jr.
Proposition question The question as it will appear on the ballot Local Propositions and/or referenda will be held in the following jurisdiction: DeKalb County Advisory question: Do you support removing the corrupting influence of money on our political system by prohibiting politicians from taking campaign money from industries they regulate; increasing transparency for campaign funding; empowers all voters through a tax rebate voucher to contribute to the candidates they support; prohibiting representatives and senior staff from all lobbying activity for five years once they leave office; and placing limits on superPACs? YES NO

said. He said the referendum wouldn’t change any county policies or procedures. “The board doesn’t typically want to get into a lot of nonbinding referendums and resolutions, but reviews them as they come up on a case-bycase basis,” he said. He emphasized that the board didn’t have a position on the group’s referendum. Shannon Wilde, a Genoa resident who volunteers with the Rockford chapter of Represent.Us, said the goal of the local referendum is to get big money out of politics. She said she also hopes it will increase awareness about the organization’s efforts. “The point of the question is to gauge support and raise awareness,” Wilde said. Represent.Us Rockford will host a forum on the advisory referendum question at 6 p.m. today at the Sycamore Public Library, 103 E. State St., Sycamore.

Police closed Route 23 between Keslinger and Elva roads south of DeKalb about 5 p.m. Tuesday after the single-vehicle crash. Beverly Z. Galey, 79, of the 300 block of N. Oak Street, Waterman, was driving south on Route 23 in a 2005 Ford Freestar minivan when the van went off the road, hit a guardrail and rolled onto the passenger side. The van then began sliding on the grass and struck a culvert, coming to a stop before sliding into a creek, according to a news release from the DeKalb County’s Sheriff’s Office.

Dave Christiansen said. Authorities initially called for a helicopter to take the woman from the scene, but on police radio, officials said it had to turn back because of weather concerns. Galey was taken to Kishwaukee Hospital with life-threatening injuries, according to the news release. Hospital officials said they couldn’t immediately release information on the woman’s condition Tuesday night. Galey was wearing a seat belt at the time of the crash and the vehicle’s airbags deployed. An initial investigation showed no reason for the vehicle to leave the road, according to the news release. Police said speeding and cellphone use were ruled out as possible causes. The DeKalb County Sheriff’s Office was still investigating the crash late Tuesday night. The road was reopened after about 25 minutes, police said.

Illinois state Rep. Barbara Flynn Currie, D-Chicago, speaks to reporters Tuesday at the state Capitol in Springfield, after the House approved a plan introduced by House Speaker Michael Madigan to end weeks of negotiations over plugging a $1.6 billion hole in this year’s state budget.
Illinois moves to plug hole in this year’s state budget By KERRY LESTER The Associated Press SPRINGFIELD – Illinois lawmakers moved Monday to plug a gaping $1.6 billion hole in this year’s state budget after weeks of tense negotiations between a Republican governor and Democratic-led Legislature over authority to transfer funds as money runs out for social programs such as subsidized day care. Legislation proposed by Democratic House Speaker Michael Madigan and backed by Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner passed the House early Tuesday afternoon with bipartisan support, including 46 of the chamber’s 47 Republicans. The Senate was to discuss the proposal later Tuesday, with at least one key Democrat expressing optimism it would pass. The bills would authorize Rauner to transfer $1.3 billion from programs such as roads, parks and conservation, to those deemed more of a priority for the last three months of the fiscal year. The rest would come from a 2.25 percent acrossthe-board budget cut as well as giving the governor the authority to distribute $97 million to needy schools less able to absorb the reduction. The plan also gives the governor discretion over an additional $90 million in case of unanticipated budget problems.

“Some might say it’s not pretty but it responds to the governor’s request. It responds to the problem. It ought to be supported,” Madigan said. Heather Steans, a Senate Democratic appropriations chair woman, expressed optimism that it could pass with fewer than half of Democrats supporting it and most Republicans. Senate Democrats had resisted for weeks Rauner’s request for authority to move what he calls “nonessential” funds, as Democrats feared he would take the money from programs they support. The money is desperately needed to avoid child care, prisons and court reporter programs running out of money. At issue is the $35.7 billion budget lawmakers passed last spring that didn’t allocate enough money for expenses, leaving the $1.6 billion gap. Democrats passed the budget last spring hoping that after the November election they would make permanent a temporary income tax increase passed in 2011. The victory in the gubernatorial race of Rauner, who opposed tax increases, scuttled that hope and the tax increase rolled back Jan. 1, from 5 percent to 3.75 percent for individuals, and from 7 percent to 5.25 percent for corporations.

Quintero were married for more than 20 years, but had been separated over the past year. He was convicted of domestic battery against Quintero in 1998 and 1999 and was deported, prosecutors said, but he came back to the U.S. in 2010. Bahena took his wife’s cellphone from a hospital waiting room Sunday, went to his truck and saw text messages that upset him, according to prosecutors. He went back inside with a screwdriver and confronted Quintero, prosecutors said, following her into a bathroom. Family members heard Quintero scream, prosecutors
said, and they couldn’t unlock the door. They said they heard Bahena say, “I told you what I was going to do to you,” and Quintero reply, “Don’t do this, I want to see my parents” and “think of the children,” according to prosecutors. Authorities said Quintero was stabbed twice in the back and once in the chest, puncturing her aorta, and that she died at the hospital after attempts to save her. Police said Bahena was held by hospital security when officers arrived. The public defender’s office said an attorney who’s representing Bahena would not comment at this point.

ELK GROVE VILLAGE – A man accused of stabbing his wife to death with a screwdriver inside a locked bathroom at a northern Illinois hospital has been charged with first-degree murder. Prosecutors say Javier Bahena, 43, killed his wife because he believed she was having an affair. Francisca Quintero, 42 of Burlington, Wisconsin, was killed Sunday just hours after her brother died of a heart attack at Alexian Brothers Medical Center in Elk Grove Village. In a Monday hearing, prosecutors said the Bahena and

Perkins says ‘rents have stayed stagnant’ • RENT Continued from page A1
Monica Synett – msynett@shawmedia.com
Shipments to replenish the shelves of Duck Soup in DeKalb have been stopped until a decision is made Sunday during a meeting to decide whether or not the grocery co-op will remain.
Co-op structure currently unsustainable • DUCK SOUP Continued from page A1 amenities such as delis and liquor departments, she said. Duck Soup sells packaged and bulk whole foods, organic produce, milk and cheeses, fresh dairy and dairy alternatives, herbs and spices, fairtrade coffees, teas and chocolates, cruelty-free health and beauty products, environmentally friendly cleaning products and hand-crafted items, according to the nonprofit retail organization’s website, ducksoupcoop.com. But the co-op has become unsustainable. Ruback said the problems didn’t develop overnight, and called the situation serious. She said the co-op has more than 150 members. About 40 percent of Duck Soup’s shoppers are from the community. The other 60 percent are co-op members. it has fewer than 10 employees. Duck Soup is governed by a sev-
“We really want to be here. But I’m not sure if we start from scratch or try to salvage the one we have.” Andrew Shepherd DeKalb resident en-member board. Ruback said no other board members were immediately available for comment Tuesday. “It cannot sustain itself as it is now,” she said. At Sunday’s meeting, it will be up to members to decide what happens next. Ruback said all options remain on the table, including shuttering the operation. “There is concern about closing,” she said. “But it will be up to the members. We have to make changes, that’s why we’re reaching out.” Changes could include everything from adding a deli and
liquor department to changing the membership structure, Ruback said. DeKalb resident Andrew Shepherd, 47, has been a member of the co-op on and off for about 15 years, and since August, has worked at Duck Soup. He said he liked the idea of having a co-op in the area, but said he didn’t know if Duck Soup would survive. “I’ve been to other co-ops in Illinois and Ohio that are so successful and where the community comprehends the value of eating well,” he said. Shepherd said Duck Soup’s membership had waned over the years, and that many in the community didn’t know about it or what it offers. He said there was already talk of starting another buyer’s club. He also said he is worried that many community residents wouldn’t realize what they were missing at Duck Soup until it was too late. “We really want to be here,” he said. “But I’m not sure if we start from scratch or try to salvage the one we have.”
to $1,242 in 2014. A four-bedroom home increased 5.7 percent, from $1,365 in 2010 to $1,448 in 2014. Michelle Perkins, Housing Authority of the County of DeKalb executive director, said she had noticed more landlords offering incentives such as free utilities and free rent for the first month. “In my opinion, based on what I’ve seen, rents have stayed stagnant. I haven’t seen a major drop,” she said. “What I’ve seen is a consistency.” Brad Rubeck, president of College Housing Group, which rents to NIU and Kishwaukee College students, said he has seen the opposite of what the federal data shows: stagnant rates for four-bedroom apartments and more demand for one-bedroom units in recent years. “It’s a matter of supply and demand, there’s a lots of four-bedrooms and not a lot of one-bedrooms,” he said. “Smaller apartments are in more demand [studios and one bedrooms], moreso in certain locations,” he said. “Average rents for those units with good locations have gone up slightly. The larger-sized apartments have declined a bit, mainly because student tenants are exploring housing options outside of the campus area. There are many [more] condos, townhomes and single-family homes available for rent in DeKalb than ever.” Rubeck was among several area landlords who attributed stagnant rates to NIU’s declining enrollment. Jim Mason, owner of Mason Properties, which owns and operates 12 properties with units from studios to five-bedroom townhomes in the DeKalb and Rockford

Ryan Pelan, who works in maintenance and inventory for Mason Properties, carries supplies to finish installing a patio door for Building 2529, apartment No. 2, on Friday in the James Court apartment complex in DeKalb. areas, said the state’s economy and high taxes in DeKalb County also have worked to keep rental rates flat. “One reason so many people live in apartments here is because it’s the best buy you can find anywhere in the Midwest and the housing stock in DeKalb is relatively new and well-kept,” he said. Michael Stang, executive director of housing and dining at NIU, said the number of students living on campus has decreased from 5,403 in 2009 to 4,419 in 2014. According to NIU data, there were 17,324 full-time NIU students at the beginning of fall semester in 2013, compared with 20,022 students in at the beginning of fall semester in 2009. Marcelle Schwartz said she bought her three-bedroom townhouse for $151,000 in 2005. But when she tried to sell it a few years ago, the offers were so low that Schwartz ended up taking her property off the market and renting it to NIU students. She said she has had eight tenants in the past two years. “Just the fact that I can’t
sell it for what I owe and have to rent it in order to pay the bills, yes, that’s frustrating,” said Schwartz, who said she owes about $100,000 on the property. Although the market might be more challenging, some landlords said sluggish rental rates were not necessarily a bad thing. “Before, you didn’t have to be a good landlord, there was so much demand,” said Mike Pittsley, manager at Pittsley Realty in DeKalb, who has been in real estate for more than two decades. Pittsley said his agency’s one-bedroom apartments are listed between $450 and $750 a month, while two-bedrooms range from $500 to $900. Those rates have stayed the same for the past four years, he said. Aside from facing tougher competition for tenants, Pittsley said the situation helps to improve the market and makes landlords provide better products. “In the short-term, it definitely hurts a lot of properties,” he said. “But in the long [term], it forces landlords to improve their properties.”
Studio that films ‘Empire’ asked to give back grant • GRANT Continued from page A1 state if “the land is unable to be attained.” “This grant was approved with the goal of creating more opportunities to attract productions and provide educational opportunities to Illinois students,” Morgan said in a statement, adding the film industry is responsible for $1.2 billion in economic growth since 2009. The studio, where productions such as “Chicago Fire” and “Empire” film, has until May 7 to return the money plus interest under Rauner’s order. According to the terms of the grant, Morgan said the studio would have had to pay back unused funds by June 30. A message seeking comment was left with the studio.

Boehner, Pelosi tout rare deal By ALAN FRAM The Associated Press WASHINGTON – An extraordinary bipartisan accord between House Speaker John Boehner and Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi is letting both parties exhale as they move toward ending the nagging annual threat of Medicare cuts to physicians. Yet each side is bragging about far more than that. For Boehner, R-Ohio, the package announced Tuesday lets him claim a rare if modest bipartisan pact to strengthen the finances of the costly Medicare health care program for seniors. Attempts by Boehner and President Barack Obama to strike dramatic, money-saving compromises overhauling Medicare and the nation’s other growing benefit programs have foundered in recent years, including during their 2011 “grand bargain” talks. “We have no intentions of passing any kind of a short-term

Taco Bell’s waffle taco is dead; biscuit taco to replace By CANDICE CHOI The Associated Press NEW YORK – The newest weapon in the breakfast wars is a biscuit shaped like a taco. Taco Bell is launching a “biscuit taco” this week and ditching its “waffle taco,” which got widespread attention last year when it was included in the rollout of the chain’s breakfast menu. The swap comes as the chain tries to build on its year-old breakfast business by once again going after the dominant player in the

mornings: McDonald’s. In a new ad campaign, Taco Bell plans to paint Egg McMuffins as boring, routine food for the brainwashed. In New York and Los Angeles, it is putting up propaganda-like posters for a place called “Routine Republic,” with one featuring a demonic clown holding what looks like an Egg McMuffin with the words “Routine Rules.” National TV ads will feature testimonials from real-life “defectors” saying things like “I admit I used to be a McDonald’s fan.”

plan contains for health care programs for children and low-income people. “In this environment I think we made great progress,” said Pelosi.
WASHINGTON – Promising to abolish the Internal Revenue Service is a good talking point for political candidates who are looking to fire up the Republicans’ most conservative voters. It’s also unlikely to ever happen, no matter how easy folks such as Sen. Ted Cruz like to make it sound. The Texas Republican is pledging to scrap the tax-collecting agency as he runs for the GOP presidential nomination in 2016. He joins potential contenders and the Republican National Committee itself in the decidedly longshot push to dismantle the unquestionably unpopular IRS. “Imagine abolishing the IRS,” Cruz told college stu-
Homeland Security official employed improper influence By ALICIA A. CALDWELL The Associated Press WASHINGTON – The No. 2 official at the Homeland Security Department improperly intervened on behalf of foreign investors in three cases involving the U.S. government soliciting investments in exchange for American visas, the agency’s inspector general said Tuesday. Investigators said he helped secure the visas, and created the appearance of favoritism and special access.
The investigation could not suggest a motive for the official’s involvement. Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson said there were lessons to be learned in the inspector general’s investigation but described the official, Alejandro Mayorkas, in a statement as “exceptionally conscientious, honest and patriotic.” Mayorkas at the time was head of the department’s Citizenship and Immigration Services agency. Mayorkas told investigators that his unusu-

al involvement was intended to improve the government’s process or prevent mistakes. “He is often impatient with our sluggish government bureaucracy, can at times be very hands-on in resolving issues and problems that are brought to his personal attention, and is always mindful that we are public servants,” Johnson said. “Ali works hard to do the right thing, and never acts, in my observation, for reasons of personal advancement or aggrandizement.”
dents during his campaign launch Monday. Compared with America’s history of fighting communism, wars and economic calamities, he said, “abolishing the IRS ain’t all that tough.” Actually, it could be pretty difficult. The IRS collects more than $2.4 trillion every year – money that picks up the tab for the military, Social Security, Medicare, all those projects that lawmakers love to bring home to constituents and so much more. The roughly 90,000-employee agency inside the Treasury Department also enforces the tax code for individual taxpayers and corporations. It can be hard to imagine abolishing the IRS even if you are a down-with-big-government libertarian.

Looking for information on a piece you were told is “antique Royal Vienna porcelain”? You’ll find it in “Kovels’ Antiques and Collectibles Price Guide,” and other online sources listed with “beehive” porcelain. The first mark used by the Royal Porcelain Manufactory in 1744 was actually a line drawing of the outline of a shield. But when turned upside down, it looked like a beehive. Collectors today call the mark a beehive and the porcelain, “Royal Vienna.” The factory closed in 1864. But since then, porcelains have been made in Germany, Austria, Japan and other Asian countries that are reproductions of the expensive original antique pieces. Be very careful to examine any piece called Royal Vienna or any piece with a beehive mark before you buy it. A December 2014 auction by New Orleans Auction Co. sold a pair of Royal Vienna Porcelain “Kinderkopf” busts that were copies of figures designed by J. J. Kaendler at the German Meissen factory in the 1770s. A figure made by Kaendler in the 18th century would cost thousands of dollars. The pair, sold in New Orleans, were made about 1860 at the Konigliche Porcelain Factory in Berlin and brought $676. *** Q: We inherited an oak bookcase from my grandmother. It has five shelves that can be separated from each other. Each shelf has a lift-up glass door. The bookcase is labeled, “Mission Bookcase Unit, manufactured by The Globe-Wernicke Co., Cincinnati, O.” Please tell us its value. A: Globe Furniture Co. of Cincinnati bought Wernicke Co. of Minneapolis in 1899 to form the Globe-Wernicke Co. Otto Wernicke had patented his sectional bookcase in 1892 and it became a best-seller for the company. The bookcases, made in oak, ash, walnut or mahogany, became known as “barrister bookcases.” They were sold not only to lawyers, but to librar-
This pair of busts of well-dressed children was made about 1860. They are 8 3/4 inches high and are marked with a beehive. The pair cost $676. Your plate does have the Berchtesgaden coat of arms in the center. Since the numbers on the back of the plate are scratched in, the date probably commemorates something meaningful only to the person who originally owned the plate. A 9-inch plate, with handwork, sells for about $50$75. *** Q: We inherited a silver coffeepot marked “Redfield & Rice, New York” and “August 1866.” It’s 14 1/2 inches high. We think it’s silver plate. Can you tell us something about the maker? A: James H. Redfield and James Rice were silver manufacturers who worked with various partners in the 1850s. In 1863 they started Redfield & Rice. The company became Redfield & Rice Manufacturing Co. in 1866 and was in business until 1872,

primarily making flatware but also making some hollowware. Hollowware pieces often were “bought in the metal” from other manufacturers and then plated. Some of the hollowware plated by Redfield & Rice was made by Reed & Barton and some by other manufacturers. The company went bankrupt in 1872. *** Q: I have a cylindrical vase signed “Troika, Cornwall, England.” Can you tell me something about the maker, age and value? A: Troika Pottery was in business from 1963 to 1983. It was founded by Benny Sirota, Leslie Illsley and Jan Thomson, who took over a pottery in St. Ives, Cornwall, England, in 1963. “Troika” is a Russian sled pulled by three horses and can also be used to describe a group of three people managing a business. The pottery moved to Newlyn, Cornwall, in 1970. By 1980, Illsley was running the pottery alone. Business declined and the pottery closed in 1983. Pottery was made in modern shapes with both textured and glossy finishes. Pieces with the rough textured finish are more often found than those with the smooth finish. Vases sell for $150 to $500. Few are found outside England. *** Q: Years ago, I purchased an oak A & P service counter from a corner grocery store in Clifton, N.J. It’s 36 inches high and 10 feet long and has 21 drawers and

ies, government offices and storefronts. Today, the bookcases are sought by collectors. A five-shelf unit in excellent condition would sell for more than $1,000. *** Q: I have a hardbound book titled “Walter Keane,” part of the Tomorrow’s Masters Series by Johnson Meyers. It’s a first printing by Johnson Meyer Publishing Company, Redwood City, California and has a copyright date of 1964. Is there any collectible value to this book because of the 2014 movie, “Big Eyes,” depicting the scandal about Walter Keane not painting the pictures sold as his work? I also have the book “MDH Margaret Keane” with the same copyright date. A: These books originally were sold as a boxed two-volume set. Margaret Keane signed some of her paintings with her initials, MDH, and her last name. Some of these are in the book about her. Walter claimed credit for her paintings of big-eyed children, and those paintings are included in the book about him. The couple divorced in 1965, but it was not until a 1970 radio interview that Margaret revealed that she was the real painter of the “big eye” pictures. The movie has generated interest in the Keanes, and online sources are asking high prices for the books, but they probably will not sell for much more than other used books. A set was offered for sale online for $700, but hasn’t sold yet. *** Q: I bought a brass plate at a tag sale for a very inconsequential amount, thinking it might have a Hitler connection. It has a shield-shaped coat of arms and the word “Berchtesgaden,” and a coat of arms with crossed keys and trefoils with a smaller shield in the middle. The back of the plate has a date scratched on it, “015-05-1838.” The plate is nine inches across and looks hand hammered. Can you tell me the age and value? A: The date doesn’t seem to be important in the history of Berchtesgaden but would indicate it was long before it was a retreat for Hitler and other Nazi leaders.

Baja workers strike for better conditions ican states like Guerrero and Oaxaca who toil at huge hot-house farms just south of Ensenada. Their demands – health care, overtime pay, days off, an end to abuse by field bosses and more pay than the $8 many earn for a full day of stoop-labor – echo those of farmworkers 40 years ago in the United States. “We all saw it as something normal for them [farm owners] to suspend people from work for three or four days, or fire them without severance for demanding respect for our rights, for demanding overtime or days off,” said Jose Ignacio Garcia, a 19-year-old who has worked the fields in Baja since he was 12 and is expecting his first child in August. “We got used to working more than 10 hours a day for 100 pesos [$7], but that doesn’t even buy the minimum necessities you need to live, to support a family.” Demonstrations have exploded into rock-throwing scuffles with riot police and the arrest of about 200 protesters. Many businesses in
By OMAR MILLAN The Associated Press SAN QUINTIN, Mexico – Workers at large, export-oriented farms in the Mexican border state of Baja California have led a week of violent protests over low pay, abuses and poor conditions, threatening a harvest that supplies millions of dollars worth of tomatoes, strawberries and other crops to the United States. Burning tires and tossing rocks at vehicles, hundreds of farmworkers have blocked Baja’s main north-south highway on and off, and as many as 50,000 are believed to be on strike statewide as of Tuesday. Baja California Gov. Francisco Vega said over the weekend that the harvest – and thousands of jobs – were at risk. “If the fields continue without a workforce, the harvests will be lost and that will affect everyone who depends on this part of the economy,” his office said in a statement. Many of the workers are migrants from southern Mex-
the area have closed, and the highway blockades prompted the U.S. consulate in Tijuana to advise travelers – who include many U.S. citizens with retirement or vacation homes on the peninsula – to exercise caution. Baja California’s state government has used police armored vehicles to break up road blockades and warned “that there will be no tolerance for those who use demonstrations to act outside the law.” Mexico’s National Human Rights Commission said Tuesday it has started an investigation into possible human rights violations, after protesters complained of police abuse and detentions. The growers’ association representing farms that dominate the coastal valleys around San Quintin declined to respond to requests for comment, but some companies have defended their practices and appealed for calm. “We respect everyone’s right to demonstrate peacefully ... but we condemn the
Indian court rejects ban on ‘offensive’ Internet messages ing what should be construed as offensive. It also said the provision violates people’s freedom of speech and their right to share information. “The public’s right to know is directly affected,” the judges said in deeming the provision unconstitutional. A law student who filed the challenge in 2012, Shreya Singhal, applauded the court’s rejection of a provision she said was “grossly offensive to our rights, our freedom of speech and expression.” “Today the Supreme Court has upheld that, they have supported our rights,” Singhal said. “I am ecstatic.”
By KATY DAIGLE The Associated Press NEW DELHI – India’s top court affirmed people’s right to free speech in cyberspace Tuesday by striking down a provision that had called for imprisoning people who send “offensive” messages by computer or cellphone. The provision, known as Section 66A of the 2008 Information Technology Act, had made sending such messages a crime punishable by up to three years in prison. In its ruling, the Supreme Court said the provision was “clearly vague” in not clarify-

While the company didn’t specifically say what it pays employees, it did say they get health insurance,
overtime and maternity leave, saying “our main objective continues to be the wellbeing of our employees.” But of those who live in the area, about 110 miles south of Tijuana, 64 percent lack adequate housing and access to
water, power and sanitation; 47 percent lack health care services and 59 percent of children between 15 and 17 are not in school, according to Mexico’s National Institute of Statistics and Geography. Many are functionally illiterate.
Boehner ‘baffled’ by reports Israel spied on talks By DEB RIECHMANN and JOSEF FEDERMAN The Associated Press WASHINGTON – House Speaker John Boehner said Tuesday that he’s “baffled” by reports that Israel spied on negotiators in the closed-door talks over Iran’s nuclear program – espionage that Israeli officials denied. “I’m baffled by it,” Boehner told reporters about the news report that comes at a time of strained relations between the U.S. and Israel. “I’m not aware of that at all.” The Wall Street Journal reported that Israel had shared the information it obtained with U.S. lawmakers and used
it to build a case against an emerging nuclear agreement. The so-called P5+1 group – Britain, China, France, Russia the United States and Germany – is rushing to craft a framework for a deal to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons in exchange for relief from sanctions be- Rep. John fore a deadline Boehner expires at the end of the month. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been feuding with the White House over an emerging deal, and he has come under fire for comments
he made in the final days of Israel’s parliamentary election campaign last week. Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman said Israel didn’t spy on the U.S., but obtained information through other participants. “We do not spy on the United States,” Lieberman told Army Radio. “...All the information we obtained is from a different side and not through the United States.” Lieberman said Israel decided years ago not to spy on the United States, directly or indirectly. “I have never encountered anyone who breached this directive in the past two de-
cades,” he said. Reacting to the report, Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Yaalon said “there is no way” that Israel spied on its closest and most important ally. Yaalon, a former military chief and head of military intelligence, said Israel has received no complaints from the U.S., which he said would be expected in such a case. “There’s no such thing that Israel spies on the Americans,” Yaalon said. “It has been strictly forbidden by all of the political leadership that I have known already for two decades, especially the current one, and no Israeli intelligence organization spies on the Americans.”

Digital billboard plan doesn’t fit
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Corruption is bipartisan To the Editor: Peoria U.S. Rep. Aaron Schock was a rising star in the Republican Party. He accomplished nothing significant, but was a prolific fundraiser. He was considered such an asset to his party that as recently as Thursday, Illinois Sen. Mark Kirk told a Chicago Sun-Times reporter that Schock would, “be the ideal front man for some big company.” Others in Congress might be distancing themselves more, but reassurances that no rules need to change are coming from both sides of the aisle. Speaker of the House John Boehner told the same reporter, “I do think there are ample controls in place to deal with the allegations that are involved here.” Rep. Nancy Pelosi, a California Democrat, said, “I don’t think it should trigger the ethics training,” and Illinois Sen. Richard Durbin stated, “I think the rules are clear though, about how we are supposed to use campaign and public funds.”
All this despite the fact that most of the events revealed are perfectly legal under current law. Overbilling mileage to the federal government is actually illegal. The campaign paid travel is all legal. The corruption is bipartisan. The D.C. insiders want to keep the status quo. It’s up to us to force reform. The people of Winnebago and DeKalb counties have an opportunity April 7 to voice their support for comprehensive reform. Please get out and vote “Yes” on the anti-corruption advisory question.

Haji-Sheikh best choice to represent Ward 5 To the Editor: I am writing to offer my support to Michael Haji-Sheikh in his bid for DeKalb 5th Ward alderman. I am a lifelong resident of DeKalb and make political recommendations only after careful consideration of the personal values, integrity, and intentions of the person running for office.
I have found Haji-Sheikh to be committed to the residents of the 5th Ward and DeKalb as a whole. He is passionate about his vision for a thriving DeKalb in which businesses can flourish and families can prosper. Michael has spent an enormous amount of time and energy working with constituent groups and individuals seeking input and opinions, listening to needs and hopes for the future of DeKalb. He is not beholden to banks, developers or others who are not interested in the long-term viability of the community, but rather serving their own self-interests at the risk of residents’ property values and quality of life. He listens to his constituents. I always know where Michael stands on issues. I have found him to be forthright in his presentation of facts and his opinion. Haji-Sheikh values the people of this community. He knows the people of this city are its greatest resource. Michael understands DeKalb is our home and our neighborhoods are important to
us. He also appreciates that we live within our household budgets and that the city of DeKalb needs to live within its budget as well. Michael is keenly aware that drastic revenue cuts from the state of Illinois may be on their way to DeKalb and a thorough assessment of the impact and a plan for that eventuality must be developed immediately. Haji-Sheikh has been outspoken that there should be no increase in taxes and that cuts in city administration and other areas may be required to balance the city’s budget. Finally, I anticipate that he may be scrappy in his efforts to fight for the interests of the residents of the 5th Ward, and that is exactly the kind of person I want to represent me on the DeKalb City Council. I urge my fellow 5th Ward residents to join me on April 7 in voting for Michael Haji-Sheikh. Patricia Thompson Perkins DeKalb
I’ve got your back, Ashley Judd Dear Ashley Judd: I guess this is a fan letter, although it is not written in praise of your work in movies like “Insurgent,” “Divergent” or “Tooth Fairy.” Rather, it’s in response to the headlines you made last week when you called out Internet trolls who defamed you and threatened you with rape after you tweeted an opinion about an SEC basketball tournament. Specifically, you accused the University of Arkansas Razorbacks of playing dirty against your University of Kentucky Wildcats and suggested they kiss your team’s backside. Not particularly polite, no, but not out of bounds, either. Male fans shout and tweet much worse about pretty much every sporting contest down to and including church league bowling. Indeed, male sports fans are the reason foam bricks were invented. Yet we are allowed to scream for the home team without being called vile names, much less threatened. So I was glad to see you use your Twitter account and media access to highlight this misogyny – and your intention to press charges. I have to tell you, Ms. Judd, this hits close to home. Three times in the past year or so, I’ve had the difficult experience of learning that female colleagues had been threatened with rape because of something they wrote. I had not realized such things happened. I mean, you get used to being called names when you write opinions for a
VIEWS Leonard Pitts living. It’s a rare day when I have not had my parentage, intelligence or cleanliness coarsely questioned a dozen times before lunch by some preliterate gasbag on the political right. But there is, it seems to me, a qualitative difference between that, unpleasant as it is, and the experience of being a woman on the receiving end of gender-specific insults and promises of sexual violence. Women, in the aggregate, are smaller and physically weaker than men. I’ve always suspected that that comes with a sense of perpetual vulnerability, of constantly sniffing the air for potential danger, that men, being men, find difficult to appreciate. The threat of violence is harder for women to shrug off simply because, even on a good day, they feel so much more exposed to it. As a human being – and specifically, as a man – I am appalled by what some sexually insecure troglodytes of my gender said to you over a basketball game. But this kind of thing is apparently not uncommon. Besides you and my colleagues, we’ve seen actresses Lena Dunham and Jennifer Love Hewitt and several women makers and critics of video games report being subjected to this sort of emotional terrorism. Former baseball star Curt Schilling
recently got one man fired and another suspended from his job when they attacked his 17-year-old daughter online. I’d love to see you do what he did, but take it a step further. Not simply identify the punks who made the threats, but hold a news conference on the sidewalk in front of their homes or in the lobby of their workplaces. Let them face microphones and cameras and explain themselves – to the world, and to the women in their lives. Give them an accountability moment. Such a moment could be valuable for a generation in which technology has advanced simultaneously our ability to say and do despicable things and our ability to avoid taking responsibility for them. That’s a god-awful combination. We have inadvertently built a world full of dark hidey-holes of anonymity to shelter the droppings of our primitive lizard brains – and eroded simple decency and basic humanity in the process. It is a trend that needs to end. So I write to thank you for the stand you’ve taken and to let you know there are those of us who value women and girls and think they deserve a safe place to be amazing. Please know that I’ve got your back. That’s something else I say as a human being – but specifically, as a man.

Digital signs have grown in popularity as an eye-catching way to display multiple messages to the public. In Sycamore, where sign rules are a bit more permissive than in neighboring DeKalb, digital signs have become a greater part of the landscape, displaying brightly lit messages outside restaurants, banks and gas stations, particularly for businesses along DeKalb Avenue. Now a local company wants to add a digital billboard to the mix. It’s a proposal that strikes us as better suited for the Eisenhower Expressway. Digital billboards have become a growth area for outdoor advertising companies. They offer great efficiencies over a traditional billboard – rather than having one ad in place for a year or so before it is manually changed, digital billboards can rotate through multiple advertisements. We believe Jay Sauber, a representative of startup outdoor advertising company Sycamore Media Network, who told Sycamore city officials this week that digital billboards are the future. Sauber’s company has proposed installing a two-sided, 11- by 22-foot digital billboard near Portillo’s at 1775 DeKalb Ave. City officials said that the proposal does not conform to Sycamore’s Uniform Development Ordinance, which requires it be 500 feet from a residential area and 1,000 feet from other billboards. There are two traditional billboards in that area, owned by Lamar, on the other side of a vacant lot used for water retention. They have been there for years. But the new billboard proposal also falls into something of a gray area in the city’s code, which sets size limits on electronic message boards but also allows for billboards within 600 feet of a state highway. Digital billboards might be the future, but neon signs were once the future, too, before people grew tired of being bombarded with fluorescent light. They also grew tired of having outdoor advertising cluttering the open spaces along public highways. As a result, sign regulations in many places are more stringent than they were 50 years ago. Some states, such as Vermont, and cities, such as DeKalb, ban billboards altogether. (The billboard on Sycamore Road near the Nature Trail is not within DeKalb’s city limits.) Digital billboards aren’t as distracting as some 20th Century billboards and signs were, but they’re still more distracting than a traditional vinyl billboard, particularly at night. Digital signs are the future, however, and it’s probably a good time for Sycamore to consider just how much is too much when it comes to digital signs. Merchants want them, and they can fit into the landscape if done tastefully. However, they should not be allowed to turn commercial areas into an all-out assault on the eyes. A 240-square-foot electronic display facing DeKalb Avenue would do that.

Online threats a real danger There is the Internet you see, and the Internet most of us never see. On the surface, the Internet is a vast online playground with many uses. It’s great for research and learning. You can shop and play games. You can watch movies and TV shows. You can connect with people around the world. Then there’s the other Net. It’s a dark place. It hides in the shadows. And it serves as a marketplace for anything forbidden. Drugs? Easy to get. Want a machine gun? No problem. Need a fake passport? Just tell them what you want on it. And child porn? Just a click away. It’s hard for law enforcement to navigate the Internet underworld. But they have made some major successes. Just recently, U.S. authorities took down Silk Road, something of an Amazon-like site where users could buy any kind of drug imaginable, fake documents and even hire a hit man. The site used Bitcoins as payment and there was even a system in place for users to rate vendors. Yes, this part of the Internet is scary place. But sometimes, villains hide in plain sight. Especially child predators. They are still out there, cruising social media and other sites where kids hang out. They are still befriending those kids and, over time, grooming and manipulating them to play a role in their evil fantasies. Fortunately, the police are still out there, too. But we do think it’s notable that the investigations started in Canada and involved the cooperation of several law enforcement and social services agencies as it eventually led to Southwest Arkansas. That’s good news. Cooperation in the name of justice with the goal of protecting children. More good news. In many cases, the technology that allows predators to find prey online is being used against them. But the bad news is that too many young people are still in danger. And one of the main reasons is their unsupervised access to technology such as the Internet and smartphones. It’s hard for parents to know what to do. You want to trust your kids. You want to give them their freedom and their privacy. But the fact is this has nothing to do with your kids. It has everything to do with the sick and twisted among us who use technology to go after your kids. Your kids won’t like it if you keep closer track of their online experience. But that’s not all that important either. Their unhappiness or anger will be temporary. Their safety is what matters. Texarkana (Ark.) Gazette

Mayweather-Pacquiao purses soaring LAS VEGAS – The first ticket has yet to be sold, but the richest fight in boxing history is getting richer by the day. New estimates show Floyd Mayweather Jr.’s payoff for fighting Manny Pacquiao easily could be $180 million, up substantially from earlier predictions of $120 million. Pacquiao gets the short end of the purse, but even that is expected to be well more than $100 million by the time everything is tallied. The money is staggering, but not exactly unexpected. Five years of waiting seem to have only piqued the public’s demand for the one fight even casual fans of the sport want to see. “For whatever it’s worth, the buildup over these years has certainly enhanced the fight,” promoter Bob Arum said. “Everybody knows about it now, even people who don’t follow boxing. Plus we have a good economy, unlike in 2009 when people were out of work and didn’t have the money to spend.” Fans certainly will have to pay a price to see the May 2 welterweight title bout, especially those lucky enough to score a ticket inside the MGM Grand arena itself. Ticket prices there range from $1,500 in the upper deck to $7,500 at ringside – and only a small percentage of the tickets actually will be put on public sale. Arum said Tuesday the gate at the MGM alone will be more than $72 million, obliterating the previous live gate record of $20 million in Nevada set by Mayweather’s 2013 fight with Canelo Alvarez. – Wire report
DeKALB – The realization came midway through covering the Northern Illinois football team’s eighth practice of the spring season – spring ball is more than halfway over.

For Harrod, it certainly is nice to have teammates again. “The one thing I look forward to in track season is I have all these great teammates around me,” she said. “They’re cheering for me, I’m cheering for them. We work with each other. It’s a great team atmosphere that I really enjoy. “It was always difficult because cross country is such a team sport. Running by yourself is really hard. It’s a lot of mentality and you get that team support that you really miss when you’re the only one.” One of those teammates will be talented junior Courtney Carls, who finished 11th at the state meet in the triple jump last season.

SPORTS BRIEFS Agent: AP’s return to Vikes not in ‘best interest’ Adrian Peterson and the Minnesota Vikings have reached a standstill. Peterson previously expressed uneasiness about continuing to play for the Vikings, coming off a season lost because of the child abuse case the standout running back was involved in. But his camp has since advanced that stance to the point of wanting out. Peterson’s agent, Ben Dogra, said as much Monday to reporters at NFL meetings in Arizona and reiterated his comments in a phone interview Tuesday with The Associated Press. “You make tough choices in life. We clearly understand he’s under contract with the Vikings. After several discussions and much thought, I believe that it’s not in his best interest to resume his career in Minnesota,” Dogra said. “It might be best for all parties involved for him to resume his career elsewhere.” Vikings general manager Rick Spielman has told Dogra he doesn’t plan to release Peterson, who turned 30 Saturday.
CUBS SPRING TRAINING
Baez told he’ll make roster despite strikeout concerns By GORDON WITTENMYER gwittenmyer@suntimes.com MESA, Ariz. – Maybe it’s not a complete reversal of the tough talk by the Cubs’ front office and new manager Joe Maddon, who said there wouldn’t be any entitlement programs in camp. But struggling, strikeout-prone Javy Baez said Tuesday he has been told with two weeks left in camp that he will be on the Opening Day roster, and a team official confirmed that Baez was told he’ll make the team as the second baseman. Publicly, the Cubs continue to say no decisions have been made on Baez and a handful of other roster questions. But after more than a month with his new team, Maddon seems to have come to the same conclusion many watching the team the past year already knew: He’ll be hard-pressed to field a lineup with anything better than an average defender at any position on a given day. Baez, who has looked spectacular at times at both middle-infield positions this spring, would solve that issue at second base. That figures to be even more important in the run-challenged cold of the early season schedule. By the time the weather warms, and big offensive potential becomes more valuable, the team can decide whether Baez has earned an extended stay. Maddon has sounded like someone making a case for Baez since Sunday, when he said he had an “epiphany” regarding less conventional ways to look at some roster decisions. Baez is the only player to start every game since then. And Maddon went on more than one pro-Baez riff talking to media before the game Tuesday against the Oakland Athletics, in which Baez went 0 for 2 with a walk and another strikeout. He’s 5 for 39 (.128) this spring and ranks among the top five in the Cactus League with 14 strikeouts. “I might be the only guy sitting around here to tell you I’m really not concerned with [the strikeouts] right now,” Maddon said.
WASHINGTON – The Golden Bear got a gold medal. Congress on Tuesday awarded its highest civilian honor to golfing great Jack Nicklaus, who accepted the medal with a few tears, humility and humor. In a ceremony in the Capitol Rotunda, the House and Senate leadership bestowed the award on Nicklaus, winner of 18 major championships, including six Masters titles, five PGA championships and four U.S. Opens.
GLENDALE, Ariz. – Jose Abreu hit seven home runs during the second half after hitting 29 in the first half last season, and until he connected on a 3-0 pitch from the Rockies’ Jairo Diaz on Tuesday, he had gone all of spring training without one, which might be something to keep in mind if you’re betting an over/under on the White Sox slugger’s long ball production in 2015. Now, if Abreu’s overall production was sagging, there might be cause for concern. He’s hitting .459 this spring, and more importantly, his onbase percentage during the second half last year improved by more than 100 points to .435. Manager Robin Ventura said before Tuesday’s game it would be nice to see Abreu launch one before the end of camp, if for no other reason than to steer attention and unnecessary angst away. “For him, he’s so focused on the approach right now of getting that thing right,” Ventura said. “When you leave here, you want to have [at least one homer in your pocket, but] the approach part trumps hitting homers.” Whatever the expectation in 2015 for the Cuban slugger who led all of baseball in slugging percentage his first year in the majors, there’s a decent chance he won’t top 36 homers his sophomore year. “He’s more of a hitter than he is a home run hitter, so it’s possible,” hitting coach Todd Steverson said. “Thirty-six is a pretty good number these days.”
DETROIT – Two former University of Toledo basketball players who accepted money from a gambler to fix game scores were sentenced to probation Tuesday in a decade-old point-shaving scandal at the Ohio school. Sammy Villegas and Anton Currie were the first of seven former Rockets who will be sentenced this spring, including three ex-football players. The case was handled in federal court in Detroit, the hometown of two gamblers and 60 miles north of campus. “I would like to apologize to the University of Toledo,” said Villegas, who received $3,000 to $4,000 from 2004 to 2006 while playing guard for the Rockets. – Wire reports

Athletics 14, Cubs 2 MESA, Ariz. (AP) – Edwin Jackson might be thinking he wishes he never found his way to work. The Cubs right-hander was scratched from his start Tuesday when he went to the wrong ballpark, then gave up eight runs when he finally found the mound in the Cubs’ 14-2 loss to the Oakland Athletics. Jackson said he entered “Oakland Athletics spring training complex” into his Google Maps app on his phone and it directed him to Phoenix Muni, which is across the street from the Phoenix Zoo. The A’s now are training at HoHoKam, the Cubs former spring training home. The Cubs’ home is less than five miles away. “It was my fault for not looking to see where it was,” said Jackson, who arrived in time to see Cubs prospect Kris Bryant hit his ninth homer of the spring in the third inning. “I’ve
had positive outing throughout the spring, except this one.” Jackson said getting to the park late had no effect on his pitching. “I was already dressed and got here in time to get ready but they didn’t want me to rush things,” he said. “I came to the stadium with the mindset of being ready. It was a crazy way to start the day.” Blake Parker made the emergency start and gave up a two-run homer to Billy Butler. Jackson entered for the second inning and allowed nine hits – six for extra bases – eight runs in 1⅔ innings. Stephen Vogt also had a two-run shot for Oakland. “They hit the ball whether it was a good pitch or not,” Jackson said. “They did a lot of damage with two outs. They found all the gaps.”
Even with that big, violent, often wild, rarely adjusted swing? “The swing has nothing to do with it for me,” Maddon said. “That’s the obvious, surface-layer kind of stuff. That’s
the part that’s going to change. But if you break down the other components of his game, he’s one of the best young players I’ve seen, period.” Of course, it’s that swing that creates the record strike-
out pace the team saw last year, leads to a paltry number of balls in play and contributes to a woeful on-base percentage (and lower frequency of home runs). And he has shown little willingness to adjust, even with men on third in close games. “I get it. I totally get where you’re coming from,” Maddon said. “But ask the pitchers what they think when he’s playing defense. How about the runs that you save? “I come from the land of run prevention, too. And that’s part of my evaluation process.” Maddon has spent the past several days in particular raving about Baez’s fielding, arm and base-running instincts, which rival anyone’s in camp (never mind the paucity of opportunities to show it). Regardless of what he has been told about making the team, Baez said, “I don’t want to take it like that. I want to take it like I’m at spring training, and I don’t stop working and I’m not giving up anything. “But, yeah, for sure, I’m ready for Chicago and just to help the team.”

White Sox first baseman Jose Abreu scores on a base hit by Conor Gillaspie against the Los Angeles Angels during a spring training game March 15 in Glendale, Ariz. Steverson is sure, however, that Abreu will “hit and be as valuable a hitter even if he does decrease in homers.” Abreu always shrugged off his homer “droughts” last year, like the week-long stretch to start the season and his two-homer August. He’s doing now what he always does at the plate. “Right now there isn’t anything different,” he said through a translator. “I’m going to home plate with the same approach that I do when the season is on.” Steverson was impressed that Abreu always “knew when he wasn’t right and adjusting to that” and having a plan at the plate depending on the pitcher and situation. “You’d think he was matching up well with a guy to [go deep] and he’d shoot one into right field,” Steverson said. “His hands are phenome-
nal. He works on them, man. He has a great path to the baseball. “I know coming in that first year, I saw the scouting reports and listened to the scouts who said, ‘Oh he has a hole inside, tough time getting to inside pitches.’ I don’t see it. I truly don’t. If anyone makes a good inside pitch on any hitter, things won’t turn out well. But they’ve tried coming in on him, and he’ll shoot the ball wherever. He covers the plate as well as anyone I’ve seen in a long time.” Steverson said Abreu just wants to use the whole field right now. “Home runs aren’t on his mind right now – they really aren’t on his mind during the season,” Steverson said. “But he’ll take his whacks when necessary. If he gets ahead in the count, you may see him get more aggressive than he is typ-
GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) – Jose Abreu connected for his first spring homer, but White Sox left fielder Melky Cabrera committed two errors in Colorado’s six-run fifth inning and the Rockies went on to a 7-6 win Tuesday. Cabrera, who signed a $42 million, three-year contract with the Sox in the winter, misplayed Matt McBride’s single, allowing the Rockies to tie it at 5. Then he dropped Rafael Ynoa’s fly ball near the line for a twobase error as McBride scored. Abreu hit a drive to center off Jairo Diaz in the fifth inning. He is batting .459 (17 for 37) this spring. John Danks retired 11 of his first 12 batters, with only an error by third baseman Emilio Bonifacio spoiling the streak. But starting with Wilin Rosario’s single in the fourth, the veteran lefty gave up four hits and four runs before leaving in the middle of Colorado’s six-run fifth.
ically. Right now, he’s working on barrel accuracy, which is fine with me.” Melky Cabrera, whose locker is next to Abreu’s, is most impressed by Abreu’s hand speed and how he stays inside the ball. “It’s very impressive” Cabrera said. “He’s a great hitter. “If he’s not hitting homers, it’s not a point of concern because we are preparing for the season. Right now it’s just about being ready for the season.” Even before Abreu went way deep Tuesday, no one was losing sleep over Abreu. “Abreu didn’t have a homer? I didn’t know that,” Tuesday starter John Danks said. “I don’t worry about Abreu.”

Carls’ triple jump mark among best • GIRLS TRACK & FIELD Continued from page B1 Although she didn’t medal, Burks said Carls’ distance of 34 feet, 11½ inches was more than impressive. “I’d venture in 1A, that’s a top-six mark in two out of every three years,” he said. “Unfortunately for her, last year it was a year with a lot of great jumpers.” For Carls, she hadn’t attempted the triple jump until midway through her freshman season. A year later, as a sophomore, she became the runner-up in the sectional meet before qualifying for state. Joining Harrod and Carls will be senior distance runner Emily Clark, junior sprinters Madison Davies and Sophia Peters, sophomore thrower Emily Freriks, sophomore sprinter Taylor Miller and freshman thrower Julia Sanchez. “No matter if it’s a kid like [Harrod and Carls] who we hope can get back and compete (at state) or an underclassmen who is just out trying to get better, we just hope at the end of the season, they’ll see a lot of progress,” Burks said.

NIU tailback Keith Harris Jr. looks for a hole during a scrimmage Friday night at Huskie Stadium in DeKalb.
End of spring practice nearing fast • SEVERSON Continued from page B1 With the third scrimmage of the spring – which will be practice No. 10 – scheduled for Friday, both sides of the ball have had moments in the spotlight. In the second scrimmage, the edge more than likely went to the defense. Carey said he has liked how the offensive line has worked as a unit and wants to see the defensive line be more physical. Likewise, while the secondary has been strong, Carey wants to see the receivers step up. It is the paradox of playing against each other in the spring – for every big play one side of the ball makes, it’s a big play that the other side surrendered. “You look at it as individuals, it’s what you have to do,” Carey said. “There has to be a back and forth, too. If
there’s not a back and forth, then you’d be a very one-sided team. You want that. You don’t want to see the big swings – you just want to see the little swings.” With the 2015 season opener still in the distance – Sept. 5 against UNLV – the Huskies have spent the past three weeks facing familiar faces day after day. On Tuesday, a small scuffle started between the offense and defense after a play. Eventually, tensions make their way to the surface. “We’re getting there,” linebacker Boomer Mays laughed about constantly going against the same players every day. “After a couple of weeks of going up against the same guys over and over, it’s like, ‘When are we going to play our first game?’ We still got a little bit.” One benefit of spring ball for the Huskies is allowing their younger players to get valuable reps. Although Car-
ey admits it’s natural that for every positive play a younger player makes, a negative play is sure to follow, Hare said he’s liked what he’s seen. “I like where we’re at so far,” the quarterback said. “Obviously, there’s still room for plenty of improvement. It’s good to see the younger guys get some reps and getting meaningful reps.” However, now the Huskies only have seven more organized practices, or 2½ weeks, left in spring practice. “We still have seven more practices to get better,” Mays said. “Each day you have to get better – whether its film room, weight room, on the field. You only get seven more on the field, so you have to make the most of it.”

NFL ANNUAL OWNERS MEETING
Owners shoot down most replay proposals By BARRY WILNER The Associated Press PHOENIX – NFL owners shot down nearly every video replay proposal brought to their meetings Tuesday, while approving six safety rule changes. Of the 13 replay alterations proposed, including extending the number of coaches’ challenges and letting them challenge all officiating calls, the only one passed will allow game officials to use replay for clock issues at the end of a half, game or overtime if more than 1 second remains. Washington’s suggestion to use replay to review personal fouls was withdrawn. Kansas City withdrew a proposal to allow replay officials to review all potential scores or turnovers. For example, a pass ruled incomplete in the end zone could be reviewed by the replay official without a coach’s challenge. Currently, the play would be reviewed only if it was ruled a touchdown. Proposals defeated were: • increasing coaches’ challenges by one to three;

D-ends have the size Bears covet • BEARS Continued from page B1 defensive ends. “And we’re healthy enough with our cap where we can do it. “I like guys motivated coming in on kind of proveit contracts. I can say that. I think that’s good.” Jenkins, 26, started 33 games the past three seasons for the Redskins, including 14 last season. He missed his rookie season with a torn ACL after being selected in the second round of the 2011 draft. Jenkins could start opposite McDonald in the Bears’ new 3-4 defense, which requires ends to be stout run
defenders. Both have the size the Bears covet at the position; Jenkins is 6-foot-4, 315 pounds, while McDonald is 6-3, 290 pounds. A source confirmed the signing of Foster, also 26, who will compete for one of the team’s two starting inside linebacker positions. The former third-round pick started 54 games in four seasons with the Buccaneers, recording six sacks and 243 tackles. He’ll have company at linebacker. Pace said the team could carry three more on the roster than the Bears did in their old 4-3 scheme. “Eight to nine guys,” he said at the NFL annual meet-
ings. “You need a lot of bodies there.” The Seahawks have proven that there’s no such thing as too many pass rushers, Pace said. He wouldn’t rule out the Bears drafting an outside linebacker in the first round next month despite giving Pernell McPhee $16 million guaranteed in free agency. “You think about, ‘This is a passing league now,’ ” he said. “So the best way to disrupt the passing game is to hit the QB. So the more pass rushers we can accumulate, the better we’re going to be.” Outside linebackers Lamarr Houston and McPhee could line up at end, Pace said.
NFL referee Walt Coleman (center) enters the replay booth to review a play during a game between the Steelers and the Houston Texans on Oct. 20 in Pittsburgh. • replay reviews of any personal fouls; • reviews of any penalty resulting in a first down, with no challenge necessary; • replays on fouls against a defenseless receiver being enforced when a reversal results in an incomplete pass; • reviewing fouls against a defenseless receiver, with an unsuccessful challenge not costing a timeout; • reviewing whether time expired on the play clock before the ball is snapped; • using stadium-produced
video for a replay review. The owners approved a proposal for stopping play when a medical adviser believes a player is unstable and should be taken off the field. They also approved rules prohibiting players from pushing teammates on the line of scrimmage when the opponent is punting; eliminating all peel-back blocks and chop blocks by running backs outside the tackle box; and extending defenseless player protection during an interception return.
McDonald never charged with crime • ARKUSH Continued from page B1 My first instinct was to leap into the fray with all the talk radio voices, Twitter tweeters and activists and rant and rail at the injustice of it all. Then, in spite of the comedic value of the image of me taking on McDonald in a test of who might do the most damage to the other, I tried to imagine the horrible things I would do to him if he ever laid hands on my daughter or granddaughter. Fortunately, I’m really tired, so I took a breath before I leaped. I remembered something said by a friend of mine who was coaching with the 49ers at the time of the first accusation of felony domestic violence against McDonald was made. He said, “I’m telling you, I don’t believe he did it. Not this kid. He wouldn’t attack a woman.” I don’t know McDonald at all, but I know my friend, and this was not a defense he would make without real principle and belief. It gave me pause.
McDonald was then accused of rape by a second woman in December and immediately released by the 49ers, my buddy’s credibility took a huge hit with me, and I assumed the guy was done. But here’s the thing. Greg Hardy, formerly of the Carolina Panthers and now a Dallas Cowboy faced similar charges as McDonald and was found by a judge to be guilty as sin. Adrian Peterson beat his kid bloody with a stick and just thinks we’re the ones who don’t get it? Had the Bears signed either of those players today, I’d be wailing at the moon with all the other talking heads. But after thorough investigations of McDonald on both claims of abuse, he never has been charged in either case. There is no evidence he is guilty of anything or at least not enough to even bring charges. McDonald is suing the second accuser. Bears chairman George McCaskey didn’t green light this because he believes in second chances. That’s not the guy I’ve known for almost 30 years. He obviously believes
McDonald is innocent, too. There is nothing more disgusting or revolting than a man who would abuse a woman or a child, and there is no punishment severe enough. But there also is nothing more important to our way of life and our belief in ourselves and who we are than the ironclad defense of one’s innocence until proven guilty, or at least actually charged. If it turns out McDonald is a bad guy, then he, McCaskey, Pace and Fox all deserve to suffer the strongest recriminations and consequences. But what if he is innocent, which apparently everyone who has investigated him so far believes he is? What does it say about all of you who’ve lined up to hang him out to dry. I can protect my daughter and granddaughter from anyone who’d want to harm them physically, but how can I save them from a society that would execute them without a trial and in spite of the real possibility they might be innocent?

In-law who flashes needs message to cover up Dear Abby: My fiancé, “Jerry,” has a daughter-inlaw who flashes both of us intimate parts of her body. At a recent gathering, she went down to the floor 2 feet away from where Jerry was sitting and gave us both a full view up her dress. Abby, she did it deliberately! I thought the time one of her breasts popped out of her blouse was a “wardrobe malfunction.” I no longer feel that way. Jerry is a pushover. He doesn’t say anything; he just runs away from it. I’m afraid things will only get worse. She must be trying to run me off. I can’t think of any other reason for her behavior. We have decided not to go
DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips on vacation with them this year because of this. Jerry is doing what he can for us to avoid being around her, but he has his 1-year-old granddaughter he adores to consider. What do you think is going on? – Covering My
Eyes In Texas Dear Covering: I think the daughter-in-law either has no sense of modesty or she’s an exhibitionist who enjoys shocking people. Because it bothers you and embarrasses your fiancé, he should tell his son and explain how it makes
the both of you feel. If the son delivers the message to his wife, it shouldn’t cause a family rift. Dear Abby: A few years ago, I broke up with a guy who was emotionally and sexually abusive. We had been seeing each other for eight months. We weren’t living together, but I still was scared to break up with him because of what he might do to me. He would often call me bad names if I disagreed with what he wanted to do, and have angry outbursts during which he would throw things. I have looked up how to safely exit an abusive relationship, but everything I find deals with what to do if you are living with the
abuser. They don’t teach us in high school how to safely drop an abuser; they just tell us to drop him. How do you safely break up with an abuser when moving to the other side of the country is impractical? – Recovering In
The USA Dear Recovering: Here is what I recommend: If you have mutual friends, tell them why you ended the relationship with him. In addition, stop going places where you know he hangs out. If he continues to call you, tell him to stop and hang up. Then screen your calls. If he emails, delete his messages without looking at them. However, if he follows or continues to pursue you, make a
police report.
ASK DR. K Anthony L. Komaroff • Untrained muscles make the heart work harder. Most people use their legs much more than their arms. Using unprepared arm muscles makes the heart work harder. • Shoveling is seasonal. Working out regularly greatly reduces a person’s overall risk of sudden death. Shoveling snow isn’t regular exercise. I have patients who insist on shoveling the snow themselves. If you fall into this category, heed my advice: • Get in shape before it
snows. Fitness will protect your heart from the stresses of shoveling. Exercise yearround with aerobics, stretching, calisthenics and low-resistance weight training. • Don’t shovel early in the morning. That’s when heart attacks are most likely. • Don’t shovel after meals. Your heart is pumping extra blood to your gut after you eat. If you shovel after a meal, you’re also asking your heart to pump extra blood to your muscles. • Warm up. Stretch and limber up with calisthenics before you put on your coat. • Use a lightweight shovel. The snow is heavy enough.
• Shovel smartly. It’s much safer to lift two or three light loads than one heavy load. Yes, that may mean your shoveling will take a little longer. But that’s good: What you want to do is spread out the intensity. • Pace yourself. Divide a big job into several 20-minute segments and pause to rest every five minutes. • Set reasonable goals. Clean only enough for safe passage. Don’t try to impress your neighbors by clearing your entire front walkway. Clear enough so folks, walking single file, can get to your door. • Listen to your body.

doors if you experience chest pain, palpitations, undue shortness of breath or fatigue, lightheadedness or nausea. These could be symptoms of heart disease. Unfortunately, the first sign of heart trouble while shoveling snow may be none of these symptoms. Instead, the heart just stops. If you have heart disease, have risk factors for heart disease or are older than 50, please take this advice: Hire someone to clear the snow, or at least use a snow blower.

Teenager wants correct answers when it comes to sex Dr. Wallace: I’m 13 and keep hearing about “the birds and the bees” from my “know it all” friends and some older kids at school who brag about having sex with their boyfriends. I’m smart enough to know not everything they are talking about is true, but I do think some of what they say might be true. Last week I went to my mom and told her that I had a few questions about sex and getting pregnant and I needed her answers. But she got sort of nervous and told me that I was much too young to be told about the “facts of life.” She said we would have a mother-daughter discussion at a later time. I was really surprised and disappointed my mom didn’t want to talk to me about this. But now I don’t know how

I’d like to address my message to all the young girls who read your column and are anorexic or bulimic, but who won’t admit it. I used to be the same way.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Your dynamic personality lends itself to a leadership role. Step to the front of any group or organization you join. Your take-charge attitude will bring you respect and rewards. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Don’t make promises based on what you think someone wants. Be truthful about your emotions. Hurt feelings and disappointment will result if your opinions are not clear. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – A seminar or group will be the source of a rewarding friendship.

It is up to you to showcase your skills and seize opportunities. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Share an optimistic point of view with others. Personal and professional relationships will benefit from any contribution you make. Offer positive suggestions to someone who is down and out. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Someone will get the wrong impression. Resentment is likely to surface if you aren’t honest. Be clear about where you want to be and what you are willing to do to get there.

Dear Abby: Last year my unmarried 30ish niece became a mother. Never once at family gatherings has there been any mention of a father. I am more than a little bit curious. A one-night stand? Would I be wrong to bring up the subject? – Curious Uncle
Shoveling snow can be risky if you’re out of shape Dear Dr. K: Every winter my wife worries that I am going to have a heart attack while shoveling snow. Does she have cause for concern? Dear Reader: She does. Each winter, more than 1,200 heart-related deaths occur during or after snowstorms. Shoveling snow is risky for many reasons: • Shoveling is similar to weight lifting. Resistance exercise raises both heart rate and blood pressure, stressing the heart. • Cold weather affects the heart. To conserve body heat, blood vessels narrow. This raises blood pressure and puts stress on the heart.
ADVICE & PUZZLES 5
a serious problem and needed professional help before I starved to death, and I’m now on my way to recovery. I ended up with this eating disorder because I thought guys only liked thin girls, but that is not true. I actually lost guys because they thought I was too thin and didn’t look like I was healthy. Ironically, now that I have gained a few pounds people often compliment me on my good looks and I feel much better about myself. I’m still in therapy and I’ll have to fight this eating disorder the rest of my life, but with the help and support of doctors, family and friends, I will succeed. If I can do it, so can all the others who suffer an eating disorder.
your story with our teen readers. Both anorexia and bulimia affect females more than males. It is estimated that females account for 95 percent of all cases of anorexia and 90 percent of all cases of bulimia, and both eating disorders usually begin during the teen years or in early adult life. Your letter is encouragement to many young people. Although estimates vary, as many as one in 100 young women between the ages of 12 and 18 will develop anorexia, while estimates for bulimia are about one in 20 for the same age group. You are fortunate you received professional help.

CROSSWORD
Declarer-play first for pair number two Walter Lippmann said, “Because the results are expressed in numbers, it is easy to make the mistake of thinking that the intelligence test is a measure like a foot ruler or a pair of scales. It is, of course, a quite different sort of measure. Intelligence is not an abstraction like length and weight; it is an exceedingly complicated notion -- which nobody has yet succeeded in defining.” Many years ago, I wrote a lengthy analysis of the various types of IQ test. I noted that these tests and bridge have some things in common. In particular, the more you practice on a particular type of test or bridge-play technique, the better you will score. In today’s deal, how should South plan the play in four spades after the defenders begin with three rounds of hearts? Since North might have raised spades with only threecard support, holding, for example, 3-4-5-1 distribution, South rebid three clubs to test the waters. North, with four spades, a useful club king and a ruffing value in that suit, was happy to jump to game despite his weak trumps. Declarer can afford only one trump loser. This requires finding East with the ace, the suit splitting 3-2, and leading twice toward the hand with the two honors. South crosses to dummy with, say, a diamond and leads a spade. Presumably, East will play low. Declarer takes the trick with his king (or queen), returns to dummy with a club, and leads another trump. With this layout, the defenders cannot defeat the contract.

LIVING Welcome spring with fresh vegetables By MELISSA D’ARABIAN The Associated Press Remember the days when you knew spring was coming by the arrival of asparagus at the grocer? These days, fresh asparagus is available almost all year. But still, my heart leaps with joy the first moment I see asparagus for less than $3 a pound. Then it is officially spring! When asparagus is in season, I buy it weekly, both because it’s so cheap and because it’s incredibly versatile. I serve it raw with a tangy Greek yogurt or blended bean dip for a snack, or chopped up and tossed with lemon juice, freshly ground black pepper, a dash of rich extra-virgin olive oil and a few shards of Parmesan cheese. Or I’ll roast it to bring out the sweet and earthy notes. To do this, just toss the stalks in a bit of olive oil, salt and pepper, then pop in a 400 degrees F. oven for 10 minutes. Or roast asparagus for half that time, which will keep some of that bright, grassy flavor, then whiz them up in a blender with fresh herbs, chicken stock and some lime for a bright springtime soup. For a tender, fresh take on asparagus, you also can blanch it in a pot of well-salted boiling water. The trick is to not overcook it; 45 seconds for slender stalks is plenty of time. Blanched asparagus will keep in the refrigerator and can be used to top salads, as snacks, or be added at the last second to a sauté. The best news is you can eat asparagus with abandon. A full cup of fresh asparagus has fewer than 30 calories, yet still gives you 3 grams each of protein and fiber. Plus, it’s a good source of vitamins C and A, as well as iron (a plus for nonmeat-eaters). This brown butter asparagus will be a regular on my table this spring. And it’s deceptively simple. It pairs nutty browned butter with toasted
pecans, which add a perfect richness and texture to the asparagus. A final small trick – using soy sauce instead of salt gives the dish a savory, umami flavor, which is a lovely companion to the earthy veggie.
Brown Butter Asparagus With Pecans Start to finish: 15 minutes Servings: 6 1½ pounds asparagus, trimmed and cleaned 2 tablespoons unsalted butter 2 tablespoons pecans, chopped 1 teaspoon soy sauce 1 tablespoon lemon juice Chopped fresh parsley, to garnish Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil. Add the asparagus and blanch for 45 seconds (add 30 seconds if stalks are particularly thick). Using tongs, remove the asparagus and allow to drain dry on paper towels. Arrange the asparagus on a serving platter. In a large sauté pan over medium heat, melt the butter and cook until the bubbles subside and brown bits start to form, about 2 minutes. Add the pecans and stir so that nothing burns. Once the pecans are fragrant and the butter is toasty brown, stir in the soy sauce and lemon juice, then remove from the heat. Pour the pecan butter sauce over the asparagus, sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve.

Roasted Brussels Sprouts With Matzo-Walnut Crumbs Start to finish: 1 hour (35 minutes active) Servings: 6 1 sheet matzo bread 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, divided Kosher salt and ground black pepper 1/3 cup walnuts or pine nuts 1½ pounds Brussels sprouts Heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat two baking sheets with cooking spray. Set the matzo on a rimmed baking sheet. Use 1 tablespoon of the olive oil to brush both sides. Season with salt and pepper. Add the nuts to the other sheet pan, then set in the oven. As soon as the matzo is golden brown, remove it from the oven. Continue baking the nuts until toasted, 3 to 4 minutes for pine nuts and 6 to 8 minutes for walnuts. Let the matzo and nuts cool. Set the matzo and nuts in a zip-close plastic bag, then pound gently with a mallet or rolling pin until evenly crushed. Set aside. Increase the oven temperature to 400 degrees F. Trim off and discard the ends of the Brussels sprouts. Using a food processor fitted with its thinnest slicing blade, slice the sprouts. Spread the sliced sprouts evenly between the two prepared baking sheets. Drizzle each pan with 1½ tablespoons of the olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Toss well, then roast on the oven upper shelf until golden brown, 15 minutes, turning the pans and stirring the sprouts every 5 minutes. Transfer the roasted sprouts to a bowl. Add the matzo-nut mixture, toss well, then serve right away.
