Powerhouse – Lockport A major engineering achievement of the late 19th century was the construction of the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal.

This canal was dug from Chicago to Lockport from 1890 to 1900 and extended to Joliet by 1907.

The construction techniques used to dig through the layers of soil in this location included the use of steam shovels and dynamite, in contrast to the building of the I&M Canal in the 1840s when virtually all of the digging was done by hand using a variety of domestic- and foreign-born laborers.

The channel in this 28-mile section had a navigable depth of more than 20 feet and had a width that varied between 110 and 201 feet.

At Lockport, the channel widens to about 500 feet where large lake vessels could easily maneuver.

The main mechanism that controlled the flow of water through the Sanitary Ship Canal was located at the western terminus near Lockport. The unique feature of the work was a Bear Trap Dam that was 160 feet wide, with a vertical play of 17 feet, and seven sluice gates, each 30 feet wide and having a vertical play of 20 feet.

At the time of construction, the dam was the largest of its type and provided the means of controlling the flow of water through the canal. The dam went into operation on the morning of Jan. 17, 1900.

Between 1903 and 1907, the main channel of the Chicago Sanitary Ship Canal was extended nearly four miles from the Controlling Works to the Upper Basin in Joliet.

The extension included the construction of the Lockport Powerhouse, which was designed by Frederick L. Barrett in Beaux-Arts style, using concrete blocks laid to simulate stone.

Taking advantage of the 40-foot drop in elevation from Lockport to Joliet, the power plant was able to develop 40,000

Police: Condition not safe enough to explore closed prison

By FELIX SARVER

fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A variety of hazards await anyone who manages to break into the long-shuttered Joliet Correctional Center – yet it continues to be a draw for vagrants, thrill seekers and curious tourists.

The old Collins Street prison – famously depicted in the 1980 movie “The Blues Brothers” – has deteriorated extensively since it was closed in 2002.

Although the prison remains a tourist attraction, there are “no trespassing” signs posted around the entrances telling the curious not to venture further.

Joliet police haven’t been able to prosecute those who trespass until an agreement was approved in March between the city and the Illinois Department of Corrections.

“Now we can enforce it,” said Joliet Police Department Sgt. Patrick Cardwell of the “no trespassing” signs.

Cardwell is one of the Joliet police officers who patrols the outskirts of the prison to ensure there are no violators, such as graffiti artists looking to leave a lasting impression on the crumbling state property.

IDOC patrols the site as well, but IDOC spokeswoman Nicole Wilson declined to provide information on the agency’s approach to paroling the abandoned prison, citing safety concerns.

Cardwell said he hopes the new agreement allowing the prosecution of trespassers will keep people away from the inside of the prison.

Some of the buildings have crumbling walls, collapsing ceilings, floors slick with old paint chips, razor wire and busted windows.

The grounds are overrun with tall grass and branches that can disguise other hazards, such as open manholes.

“These aren’t safe conditions to be exploring,” Cardwell said.

They’re also not safe conditions for police or firefighters who are called to the prison when there is a fire or someone becomes trapped, as happened in January when a teenage girl was locked inside a cell.

Firefighters were able to free her by breaking through a brick wall

Sgt. Patrick Cardwell stands Tuesday in one of the cellblocks that once housed inmates at the Collins Street prison in Joliet. with a sledgehammer.

That incident is what helped “light the fire” to get the agreement between the city and IDOC passed, Joliet Chief of Police Brian Benton has said.

“We encourage people to come for the exterior view. … It’s just when they cross over and have that desire to go inside that creates the problem,” Benton said.

Benton said he doesn’t have information on the number of people who trespass into the prison because his officers weren’t able to make arrests.

But with the new agreement, police can tally arrests and get a better picture of how many go inside, he said.

Trespassers are able to get inside by climbing the aluminum ladders mounted on the main building or trees that lead to busted windows, Cardwell said. He said police can’t remove the ladders because they’re state property.

Wilson did not respond to ques-

tions about how IDOC is working to further prevent trespassers on the property.

Some of the buildings inside have shown not just deterioration, but also graffiti and vandalism. The pews of the prison’s church are marked with graffiti, and in one of the buildings the floor is strewn with old paper records and furniture.

“Think about what one cigarette butt would do to a building like this,” Cardwell said.

Joliet Fire Chief Joe Formhals said there are “a lot of combustibles” at the prison.

When firefighters are called out to the site during an emergency, it’s not like accessing a normal building, he said.

“It’s more of an involved process,” he said.

He said IDOC has helped Joliet with addressing safety issues at the property, such as welding shut some of the access covers on the ground to prevent people from falling in them.

Discussions about redevelopment of the prison have taken place over the years, with local officials trying to make it a tourist attraction or clean it up.

In 2015, the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency found dangerous contaminants in the soil and groundwater.

“It’s at the point where somebody needs to get involved and it can’t be out of sight and out of mind anymore,” Formhals said.

AN EXTRAORDINARY LIFE

‘Talented, but she wasn’t in a cage of self’ Irma Kump lived altruistically and artistically, in her own fashion

By DENISE M. BARAN–UNLAND dunland@shawmedia.com

“She was the most unusual person.”

So said Jeanne Jacobs of Joliet about her friend Irma Kump of Joliet, who died suddenly at her home on March 15 at the age of 87.

“She had so many attributes,” Jeanne said. “She was a great cook; she was a great writer. I could go on and on. She inspired us all, I think. She was so talented, but she wasn’t in a cage of self. She was a happy person, never thinking about number one and always thinking about how to help her fellow man or woman.”

To best understand Irma, one needs to know her past. According to her son, Timothy S. Kump of Joliet, Irma was born Caramanico, Italy, a medieval mountain village.

Irma emigrated to the United States at age 6, along with mother Nancy, and brothers Oreste and Ernest.

Irma’s father William had moved to the United States 13 years earlier, although he had returned to Italy for visits, Timothy said.

William owned a tavern across the street from the former F.E. March Elementary School in Joliet, where Irma would attend school and make lifelong friends. The family lived about the tavern.

Timothy said Irma was held back a grade because she could not speak English. It was the last time anything ever held her back, he said.

Irma attended Joliet Township High School in the building now known as Central campus.

There, Irma developed her lifelong passions for fashion, cooking and all the arts, although Irma was particularly “nuts over movies,” Timothy said.

She met her husband Arnold Kump at a local gas station. Arnold, enthralled, took extra time cleaning her windows, Timothy said. But

Clothed with a zest for fashion and artistic expression, Irma Kump modeled love and kindness for others.

Irma wasn’t interested because she considered him to be “just a grungy gas station guy.”

Arnold soon proved her wrong.

“At St. Joe’s park, she met a man in a stylish jacket who asked her to dance,” Timothy said. “She thought, ‘Oh, my gosh! That’s the guy! He’s all cleaned up and looks very handsome.’ They began dating soon after that.”

Irma was a devoted wife to Arnold and mother to Timothy and his brothers Arnie and David, all of Joliet.

Timothy recalled how his mother made her own clothes and jewelry.

She volunteered at the former Catholic High School when he and his brothers attended, as well as many service organizations, particularly Visitation and Aid. Irma cooked and baked in abundance simply to give the food away, Timothy said.

People never had to ask to Irma’s help because she was already helping, he added. Timothy recalled how his mother gave several pieces of

her jewelry to a woman who’d been robbed.

“I don’t remember her doing anything for herself,” Timothy said.

But it was after Arnold died and her sons grew up that Irma came into her own.

She began with a creative writing class at Joliet Junior College. That led to her becoming a founding member of a writers club, a writer of human interest stories for The Herald-News, the author of a novel based on her life story “Aprons of Stone: A Novel Based on True Events,” the proud bearer of a bachelor’s degree from Governors State University and the developer and teacher of a JJC class, “Intergroup Consciousness.”

Irma even received college credit for her “life experiences.” She recounted this time in an 1984 story for The Herald-News: “What happens when ‘birds’ leave the nest?”

“Women my age are in a difficult situation,” Irma had written. “We feel useless without a job, but we have no skills to get a job. I decided

to go back to school and learn new skills.”

While many people have at least one anxiety or phobia, Irma had none. Timothy said. When Irma was still at JJC, she volunteered to drive a small bus of seniors because a volunteer was needed.

“I said, ‘Mom, you’ve got to be kidding me! You can’t see over the steering wheel,’ ” Timothy said.

“But she said, ‘I did. I picked them up and drove them to the mall.’ She was fearless.”

Irma died her own way: preparing food and dressed to the nines.

Tim said she leaves behind “a spirit of unselfishness” and called her life “a guide to how to treat people and live decently. She was telling me, ‘Everyone is so nasty today,’ ” Timothy said. “ ‘Let’s do a campaign, design a button and tell everyone two words: Be nice.’ ”

Lego fun at Joliet Area Historical Museum

By ALLISON SELK

Shaw Media correspondent Chayil Wilson investigated each room of the Joliet Area Historical Museum to look for the hidden Legos in the displays as a part of a scavenger hunt.

“I found one in the basketball room, I found one in the soccerball room, I found one downstairs and I found all of them everywhere,” 4-year-old Chayil said.

Sunday, 130 children and adults attended the museum’s spring fundraiser, called Lego Mania. Liz McNeil, museum special events manager, said the spring fundraiser always has been a family affair, and when the Lego theme went over so well last year, she thought she would have the same theme for this year’s event.

McNeil said Lego Mania attracts both boys and girls and features a science, technology, engineering and math focus, so each event in the day touched on one part of the STEM concept.

“The mission here is to educate people not only on local history, but offer a wide variety of learning possibilities,” she said.

Upon arrival, each child received a party bag and one of the prizes inside included a new Lego car kit for the child to assemble. After each was put together, the children were then encouraged to race them on a course. Games with Legos,

Characters dressed up as Star Wars, Disney and Lego characters walked around and took photos with the children, and attendees visited Lego displays during the event.

emy Improvisational Group performed in the auditorium; artist Pam Biesen brought recycled materials; and Biesen and her volunteers assisted the children in creating robots from tin cans, computer parts, foam, corks, wire, buttons, wooden blocks and various other materials.

“Education is an aspect of what we

do here at the museum and Legos offer STEM education opportunities and putting together the robots teach aspects of math and engineering,” McNeil said.

Biesen said she likes to bring her recycled materials and work at these events to spark a child’s imagination.

“I want them to think about math, science, technology and engineering and with all of those four things, you have to also have imagination to make art. Art is fun, Legos are fun and they are here to have fun,” Biesen said.

Noah Wygocki, 5, and her mother, Ania Wygocki, worked on her robot, which was made out of a tin can, computer keys, plastic sticks, beads and a plastic toy top. Noah said her favorite project was her robot because, “I like making robots.”

“She had fun and this was a very kid friendly event. I had fun and I’m old,” Ania said. “This was also a good learning experience, especially the scavenger hunt because we would stop and look at the displays; we will be back for sure.”

McNeil said this spring event supports the museum’s education efforts in the community.

“This supports an initiative to help families struggling in life to come in and enjoy the museum. It’s all local history and we try and make it a place where everyone can come,” McNeil said.

VIEWS Kris Stadalsky carried by Minooka officers to block opioid delivery in the system and reverses overdoses if administered in time.

Officer Christopher Presler and Sgt. Matthew Chinski responded to an unresponsive male who was not breathing earlier this year. A heroin overdose was suspected, so Chinski performed CPR and chest compressions. Presler administered Narcan.

In October 2016, Officer Erik Larson and Sgt. Sean Beeler responded to an unresponsive male victim who was had no pulse. Larson began CPR while Beeler applied an AED, reviving the man.

While the officers and sergeants were acting in the line of duty, their training and prompt and alert actions were what resulted in saving these lives, said Meyer to each of them.

A new public act put into effect last April, requiring first responders to carry Narcan, was implemented in Minooka as well. Carrying the medication has resulted in saving the life of five residents in one year, Meyer said.

“It’s not just the Narcan,” said Meyer. “They had to perform CPR to unresponsive [victims] with no pulse.”

Their dedication to duty, professionalism and commitment to excellence reflects on each of them and the village of Minooka as well, Meyer said.

MINOOKA – When you say Minooka’s finest (meaning police officers) are pretty fine, they have the facts to back that up. Six patrolmen and two sergeants recently received life-saving awards and Officer Kiedra Meece was named Officer of the Year by her peers.

Meece started with the Minooka Police Department as a patrol officer. She was promoted to detective and worked in investigations for five years, but just recently opted to go back out on patrol. She has 17 years of police-work experience.

Meece’s peers chose her to represent them as Officer of the Year because of her involvement in so many areas of the force, said Chief of Police Justin Meyer.

As a detective, Meece was part of the Kendall County Major Crimes Task Force. She’s a representative of the county TRIAD program, which provides services and information to keep elderly residents safe, and she was the police union president until this past year.

“We were always able to get a contract done in a timely manner [with Meece],” Meyer said.

Meece also was honored with a life-saving award for her quick response and action to assist a 70-yearold unresponsive man at Osco Pharmacy drive-thru in Minooka in 2016. Meece applied an automated external defibrillator, which got his heart going again. Meyer called Meece one of his most dependable and reliable officers.

Other life-saving awards were presented to officers Staci Kapinus and Renee Parrish for saving a female overdose victim in June 2016 by performing CPR and administering Narcan.

Officer Robert Latz was honored for saving a female who overdosed on heroin in December 2016 by administering Narcan, a medication

NASCAR short-track star Sam Ard dies at the age of 78

By JENNA FRYER

The Associated Press CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Sam Ard, a two-time champion of NASCAR’s second-tier series, died Sunday. He was 78.

Ard died in South Carolina. NASCAR called Ard “a tough-as-nails racer” in a statement confirming his death, but gave no details.

Ard won titles in what is now known as the Xfinity Series in 1983 and 1984. He won 22 races in three seasons – just 92 career starts – and his average finishing position was an impressive fifth.

“No matter the track or the competition, he battled to the end,” NASCAR said. “That fighter’s mentality lasted throughout his life, and far beyond the confines of a race car.”

Ard retired because of injuries suffered in the final race of the 1984 season.

He suffered from Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease for much of the past two decades, and his financial hardships made him the face of the difficulties faced by many of NASCAR’s former stars.

Ard was living in a doublewide trailer in Pamplico, South Carolina, in his declining years and had long ago sold his two championship rings and a handful of grandfather clocks from Martinsville Speedway because his family needed the cash. Unlike veterans of most

major professional sports leagues, Ard had no pension to fall back on.

“You can drive for NASCAR, but when it’s over, it’s over. You get nothing,” Ard told The Associated Press in a 2007 interview. “When you fall out of racing or something happens to you, it seems like NASCAR just forgets about you. It’s your friends and the people around the race track who have to remember you and keep you going.”

NASCAR policy is that drivers are “independent contractors” who bear full responsibility for their finances, health care, retirement and life insurance. The league owes the drivers nothing, but they are free to work out benefit packages with their team owner.

NEW YORK – Gilbert Baker, the creator of the rainbow flag that has become a widely recognized symbol of gay rights has died. He was 65.

Baker was found dead Friday at his New York City home. The city medical examiner’s office said Saturday that he had died of hypertensive heart disease.

Baker was born in Kansas and served in the U.S. Army from 1970 to 1972.

He was stationed in San Francisco in the early days of the gay rights movement and continued to live there after his honorable discharge.

According to Baker’s website, he taught himself to sew and began making banners for gay and anti-war marches, creating the rainbow flag in 1978.

Baker said in a 2008 interview that he knew instantly from the way people reacted to the flag that it was “going to be something. I didn’t know what or how ... but I knew.”

Baker was part of a circle of San Francisco gay activists that included

San Francisco Civic Center Plaza and march beneath these giant flags that were flapping in the wind,” Jones said.

“People looked up and faces lit up and, without any explanation, this was now our flag.”

The flag was initially eight colors, but it was cut to six because of the limited availability of fabrics, Jones said. He said Baker rejected advice to patent the rainbow flag design and never made a penny off it.

Baker also designed flags for civic occasions including the inauguration of Dianne Feinstein, now California’s senior U.S. senator, as mayor of San Francisco.

Baker moved to New York in 1994 and created a milelong rainbow flag for the gay pride parade, which that year commemorated the 25th anniversary of AP file photo the 1969 Stonewall uprising.

Chicago police seek 2nd teen in Facebook sexual assault case

By DON BABWIN

The Associated Press CHICAGO – An arrest warrant has been issued for a second teenage boy in the sexual assault of a 15-yearold Chicago girl that was streamed live on Facebook, and further arrests are expected, police said Sunday.

A day after announcing the arrest of a 14-year-old boy on sexual assault and child pornography charges, police said they were looking for a 15-year-old suspect in the March 19 attack, which investigators have said involved five or six males. Investigators didn’t specify how many others would likely be charged, but they did say one adult male was among them.

Police were careful not to release

University of Illinois athletes meet GPA requirements

URBANA – University of Illinois athletes maintained an overall GPA of 3.16 last fall and have graduation rates comparable to the general student body by some measures.

The University of Illinois Athletic Board put together information for the campus Academic Senate on the academic performance of the university’s more than 500 student-athletes, The News-Gazette reported. It’s the first report of its kind in five years.

The report is based on data the Division of Intercollegiate Athletics’ Academic Services program collects quarterly for each sport, as well as evaluations by the Athletic Board’s Academic Progress and Eligibility Committee done once every three years.

Those reports weren’t made public.

Some faculty members at a Senate Executive Committee meeting March 27 requested a more comprehensive summary.

Law professor Tom Ulen, chairman of

too many details of the ongoing investigation, but they did provide some that helped illustrate why Superintendent Eddie Johnson remained visibly upset as he has been since the investigation began.

Cmdr. Brendan Deenihan said that the victim saw one of the suspects, whom she knew, on the day of the attack. She said the suspect “lured” her into the home of one of the offenders in the North Lawndale neighborhood on the city’s West Side, where she also lives.

“She was not allowed to leave and she did not consent to what occurred,” he said.

Police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said the girl was threatened by the suspects, but he would not say

what those threats entailed.

Deenihan also said there were multiple cellphone videos made of the attack, not just the one streamed live on Facebook that was viewed by about 40 people – none of whom reported it.

“It disgusts me that we have people who would look at those videos and not pick up a phone and dial 911,” he said.

Deenihan declined to say if either of the teens who are already facing charges streamed the live video. But the charges against the 14-year-old – aggravated criminal sexual assault, manufacturing of child pornography and dissemination of child pornography – suggest that he shot video or took photographs of the attack, Gug-

lielmi said.

Last month, the girl’s mother told The Associated Press that her daughter received online threats after the attack and that neighborhood kids were ringing her doorbell looking for the girl, who hasn’t returned to the neighborhood. On Sunday, Deenihan said police were investigating what he called “social media bullying” and that detectives have “executed social media search warrants” in the case.

He said the girl is traumatized and reluctant to talk about the attack, and that she’s going to need help for a long time. After the news conference, Guglielmi said city officials and the Cook County State’s Attorney’s office have relocated the girl to a “safe place,” but he declined to elaborate.

the athletic board, said all but one team met the senate’s GPA criteria in the board’s most recent evaluation.

“In almost every single instance, the teams were in compliance for all six semesters since their last evaluation,” the report said.

Ulen’s report said the unidentified team that failed to meet the requirements proposed a plan that the committee approved and “very quickly came back into compliance.”

renewable energy sources such as solar power. But thanks to the Illinois Future Energy Jobs Act set to take effect in June, many industry operators are looking to a promising future.

Windfree Solar President Doug Snower said the wind and solar energy company hired three staff members this week and plans to hire two or three more next month.

“The phones are ringing,” Snower said.

“We just don’t have enough salespeople to handle all the stuff coming in.”

The state law has provisions bolstering solar, including efforts to boost participation in community solar projects, a program providing solar funding for low-income areas and a job training program.

“That’s really the biggest signal that people think this is a market worth investing,” Solar Foundation director Andrea Luecke said. “When you start putting resources into your workforce, it’s a strong signal to solar companies that this is a place to go.”

State adds solar jobs despite Washington climate

CHICAGO – Illinois’ solar industry is seeing increased growth despite President Donald Trump’s executive order to reverse rules combating climate change.

The nonprofit Solar Foundation released a report this past week that found the number of solar jobs in the state increased to over 3,700 workers in 2016, a 6.7 increase from the previous year.

These numbers rank Illinois as 17th in the country for solar jobs, with employment expected to increase 5 percent this year, the Chicago Tribune reported.

The report was released just before Trump’s order reversing the Clean Power Plan. The plan, signed by President Barack Obama, would have required utilities to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from power plants, increasing reliance on

Trump says U.S. is ready to act alone on North Korea

By CATHERINE LUCEY The Associated Press

POTOMAC FALLS, Va. – President Donald Trump said that the U.S. is prepared to act alone if China does not take a tougher stand against North Korea’s nuclear program.

Trump’s comments in an interview with the Financial Times come just days before he is set to host Chinese President Xi Jinping at his Mar-a-Lago estate in South Florida.

The two are expected to discuss a number of issues, including North Korea, trade and territorial disputes in the South China Sea during their meeting Thursday and Friday.

“Yes, we will talk about North Korea,” Trump told the newspaper for a story that appeared Sunday on its website. “And China has great influence over North Korea.

And China will either decide to help us with North Korea, or they won’t. And if they do that will be very good for China, and if they don’t it won’t be good for anyone.”

A State Department spokesman said late Sunday that Secretary of State Rex Tillerson has been in touch with a top Chinese official about the upcoming trip.

“We can confirm Secretary Tillerson spoke today by telephone to Chinese State Councilor Yang Jiechi regarding this week’s visit of President Xi and other issues of bilateral and regional importance,” the spokesman said. He discussed the upcoming visit on condition that his name not be used.

In his interview, Trump said trade was the incentive for China to work with the U.S. Still, he said the U.S. could “totally” handle the situation in North Korea without China’s help.

Asked how he would tackle North Korea, Trump said: “I’m not going to tell you. You know, I am not the United States of the past where we tell you where we are going to hit in the Middle East.”

While China provides diplomatic and economic support to its neighbor, it claims that its influence over Kim Jong Un’s government is limited.

The relationship between the U.S. and China has been uncertain since Trump’s election. During his campaign he accused China of unfair trade practices and threatened to raise import taxes on Chinese goods and declare Beijing a currency manipulator, though it is unclear whether Trump will follow through with either threat.

Trump told the newspaper that he doesn’t “want to talk about tariffs yet, perhaps the next time we meet.”

Trump’s ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley, also offered tough talk on China, saying on ABC’s “This Week” that the U.S. is pressing China to take a firmer stand regarding North Korea’s nuclear program.

U.N. resolutions have failed so far to deter North Korea from conducting nuclear and missile tests. Last year, the North conducted two nuclear tests and two dozen tests of ballistic missiles.

“They need to show us how concerned they are,” Haley said. “They need to put pressure on North Korea. The only country that can stop North Korea is China, and they know that.”

Asked what the U.S. would do if China doesn’t cooperate, Haley said: “China has to cooperate.”

Former Defense Secretary Ash Carter, however, said he doubted that Beijing will cooperate.

“I’ve been working on the North Korea problem since 1994,” Carter said on ABC. “And we have consistently asked Chinese leaders ... because they uniquely have the historical and the economic relationship with North Korea, to make a difference.

“They haven’t used that influence, and so it’s hard for me to be optimistic with that,” he said.

THE NEW CHAMPION

Plainfield Central joins heavyweights of WJOL/Don Ladas Memorial Tournament VIEWS Dick Goss When Providence Catholic jumped to an early 4-0 lead over Plainfield Central late Saturday night in the WJOL/ Don Ladas Memorial Baseball Tournament championship game at Slammers Stadium, it appeared a pattern would continue.

In 2007, Providence and Joliet Township, then coached by Terry Piazza, were declared co-champions when the title game went on into extra innings in a heavy rain. Other than that, however, the champion in the 12-year history of the event always has been the Celtics, Minooka, Joliet Catholic or Lockport.

However, that meant nothing to the Plainfield Central contingent Saturday night. Providence made some mistakes and Central – as good teams will do – took advantage. The Wildcats scored four runs in a bottom of the third inning, tying the score on Rocky Pascente’s RBI single, one of two hits in the inning. The other was Nick Heffernan’s leadoff single. The Celtics also committed two errors to help fuel the rally.

An inning later, David Ascencio’s single set up a two-run splash that culminated in the runs scoring on a bases-loaded walk and a passed ball as the Wildcats took a 6-4 lead, benefiting from some wildness on the part of Providence’s pitching.

You don’t always have to hit the ball all over the lot to win games. That especially is true if you keep the opposition off the scoreboard. Indeed, Central won its first WJOL tournament title by that 6-4 score.

“We can’t make mistakes like we did, and against a good team, it came back and bit us,” Providence coach Mark Smith said. “Our luck ran out

Central junior right-hander Joey Michaud, the left fielder to open the game, was summoned to relieve sophomore starter Justin Divelbiss to open the fourth inning. The Celtics stranded two runners against Michaud in the fourth,

two in the fifth, none in the sixth – only because Pascente, the catcher, gunned down Drew Hunniford attempting to steal second after his third hit of the game – and one in the seventh. Michaud was a bulldog.

“I went to the mound with the mind-

set of throwing strikes,” Michaud said.

“It feels great to win this championship for the Plainfield Central High School.

To win this tournament for the first time is great for our school.”

Continued from page 17 Wildcats senior shortstop Cam Cercone, the tournament MVP, sported a .667 on-base percentage in the Wildcats’ three games and was a defensive standout. He also delivered a two-run double that was the key hit in a 3-1 semifinal victory over Lockport.

He echoed Michaud’s thoughts.

“I am so happy for Plainfield Central to win this championship,” Cercone said. “We haven’t had a lot of success, and to achieve this is outstanding. For us to win this tournament and my winning the most valuable player award is very special.”

Pascente wanted to repeat what his teammates said. “Once again, it feels great to win the championship for our school,” he said.

Throughout the tournament, Wildcats coach John Rosner has talked about this team showing the ability to do the things that win tight games.

Central scored in the top of the seventh inning of the tournament opener to tie Joliet Catholic, 4-4, and win on the tiebreaker, then beat Lockport, 3-1, before the 6-4 triumph over Providence.

“The adrenaline you get from winning big games is special,” Rosner said.

“For us to beat JCA, Lockport and Providence in one weekend is incredible.

ty of St. Francis golfer Huston Gass won medalist honors at the Knox College Classic and the Saints took second place. Gass posted back-to-back rounds of 71 to finish two-under par 142 to lead the 100-man field. Nick McPherson finished with a 151, which was good for a tie for 10th for USF, who finished 11 strokes out of first.

“The last few years we have been doing incredible things at Plainfield Central. From where we were to where we are now is a credit to my kids and my staff.”

Central won the tournament – and will continue on in the season – without staff ace Brandon Callender. He is recovering from an offseason injury and has just begun playing catch. How soon he will be able to pitch is unknown at this point.

Meanwhile, the Wildcats will push forward. What they showed in the weekend tournament is they belong in the discussion with teams such as Plainfield North, Plainfield South and Minooka as potential contenders in the deep Southwest Prairie Conference.

ALL-TOURNAMENT TEAM

In addition to Cercone being named MVP, the all-tournament team was announced as follows: Plainfield Central – Ascencio, Kyle Cockrell, Nate Yusko, Michaud; Providence – Gaosh Williams, Hunniford, Matt Swanson; Lockport – Conor Fitzgerald, Ryne Travis, Tom Louch; Lincoln-Way West – Mike Majcher, Noah Hibler; Minooka – Logan O’Brien, Luke Faifer; JCA – Antonio Saldana; Joliet West – Tyler Spisak; Joliet Central – Tom Langley.

CUBS AT CARDINALS (LATE)

The Cardinals led, 1-0, in the eighth inning at press time. it will be turned next week. I think the ring ceremony should be the turning of the page. I’m not one normally into symbolism, but I think if you’re looking for it from us, that’s it.”

That seemed to be the sentiment in the clubhouse, as well.

“I think we’re all ready to go for the season,” said Kyle Schwarber, who missed almost all of last year’s regular season with a knee injury before

he came back to play a key role in the World Series. “It’s going to be cool.

We’ll get to have a little walk down memory lane (during the ring ceremony), but we’re really focused on trying to get back there again.”

Schwarber is the Cubs’ new leadoff man, taking over for Dexter Fowler, who signed with the Cardinals in the offseason.

It didn’t take long for Scwharber

To Cubs, Dexter still considered ‘family’

By BRUCE MILES

bmiles@daily-herald.com ST. LOUIS – Dexter Fowler said he is used to wearing red now.

The former Cubs center fielder greeted the Chicago and St. Louis media as a member of the Cardinals before Sunday night’s game at Busch Stadium.

Fowler, a key member of the Cubs’ world championship team last year and the playoff team from 2015, signed a five-year, $82.5 million contract with the Cardinals during the offseason.

There still are some loose Cubs ends to tie up. Fowler said he likely is to receive his World Series ring June 2 during the Cardinals’ first visit to Wrigley Field. Fowler also exchanged pleasantries with Cubs manager Joe Maddon during the pregame ceremonies at home plate.

“There are no hard feelings,” Fowler said. “They know this game is a business. I had to make the decision that was right for me and my family.”

Fowler termed the short and busy offseason a “whirlwind.”

Last year proved fortuitous for Fowler, who was not expected to resign with the Cubs after 2015. When an apparent deal with Baltimore Dexter Fowler fell through late in the winter, he returned to the Cubs early in spring training last year.

“Sometimes you’ve just got to thank God and go at it,” he said. “He punches you in the gut sometimes, but you’ve got to keep going. That was a great decision, and I’m pretty happy with my decision here.”

Fowler’s replacement as the Cubs’ leadoff hitter is Kyle Schwarber.

“It’s going to be good to see him,” Schwarber said. “Like we’ve all said, he’s still part of the family. He’s going to be in the Cubs’ history book for a long time as being one of the ones to break the curse. We wish him all the best.”

During spring training last year, Schwarber broke a windshield with a batting-practice home run. This year, he hit an animate object.

“I hit a Clydesdale in the butt,” Schwarber said.

The horse’s owner apparently wasn’t upset, and Schwarber now has one of the horse’s shoes hanging in his locker.

“Maybe it will give us some luck,” he said.

As part of their opening-night festivities, the Cardinals paraded Clydesdales around the warning track. They passed

by the Cubs’ dugout without incident.

Schwarber led off the game with a single to right field.

There was no magical or sabermetrics formula to Cubs manager Joe Maddon going with an outfield of Schwarber in left, Jason Heyward in center and Ben Zobrist in right against Cardinals right-hander Carlos Martinez for the opener.

“It’s a tribute to the World Series, that’s it,” Maddon said. “Those were the guys who were on the field during the seventh game of the World Series, so I wanted to, as a tribute to them and what they had done for us, put them on the field tonight. It’s no more complicated than that.”

Javier Baez started at second base, a position he will share with Zobrist.

Heyward will be the Cubs’ regular right fielder.

ST. LOUIS – Turn on the lights, the party’s over. And the Cubs hope a new one is starting.

After a World Series party that lasted an entire offseason, the Cubs opened defense of their World Series title under the bright lights of Busch Stadium on Sunday night against their Gateway Arch rivals, the St. Louis Cardinals.

On a gorgeous early April evening for baseball, the two teams squared off before a national TV audience on ESPN’s “Sunday Night Baseball.”

The Cardinals held a 1-0 lead after seven innings, having scored off Cubs starting pitcher Jon Lester in the third.

To hear the Cubs tell it, they have turned the page from 2016 and are ready for the challenges of 2017.

Manager Joe Maddon said that happened in spring training.

“I thought we did a really good job,” he said before the game. “I thought our guys handled spring training extremely well. I’m very proud of the way they went about it. Honestly, if you walked in our clubhouse during camp, I don’t think you could have recognized that we just came off wining a World Series.

I mean that in a really good way.

“The work was spectacular. Interaction’s been the same. Leadership is there. Young guys are still aspring to get better. For me, mentally, the page has been turned. I think symbolically

to show that there is nothing wrong with his bat. He began the game against Cardinals right-hander Carlos Martinez with a line-drive single to right field. In the thir, he doubled to right-center with two outs.

“I’m not too worried about it at all,” he said of batting first. “It’s just another spot in the lineup. I get lead it off, and then I can hit anywhere. Our whole lineup can hit.”

It was Fowler who scored the game’s first run as the Cardinals took a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the third inning. Fowler led off with a single to the right side of the infield past Cubs pitcher Lester. Aledmys Diaz singled, sending Fowler to third. A line-drive sacrifice fly to right by Matt Carpenter brought Fowler home.

Lester lasted 5-plus innings, running his pitch count to 102. He got into trouble to begin the sixth inning when he gave up a leadoff single to Yadier Molina before walking Stephen Piscotty.

At that point, Maddon went to the bullpen for Carl Edwards Jr., who got pinch hitter Kolten Wong to ground into a 4-6 forceout. With Randal Grichuk at bat, Edwards uncorked a wild pitch. The ball went to the backstop and bounced back over the head of catcher Willson Contreras landing near home plate. That allowed only Wong to advance.

Grichuk walked, but Edwards got out of the inning when Martinez grounded into a double play.

20 WOMEN’S NCAA FINAL FOUR TOURNAMENT CHAMPIONSHIP: SOUTH CAROLINA 67, MISSISSIPPI ST. 55

South Carolina wins 1st national title

By DOUG FEINBERG The Associated Press

DALLAS – Dawn Staley finally could raise an NCAA championship trophy.

A’ja Wilson scored 23 points to help coach Staley and South Carolina win their first national championship with a 67-55 victory over Mississippi State on Sunday night.

Staley made the Final Four three times as a player at Virginia but never won. She also led the Gamecocks to the national semifinals two years ago before losing to Notre Dame.

Once the final buzzer sounded, Staley grabbed the trophy and paraded it around the court high over her head.

She cut down the final piece of the net, waving it to the huge throng of Gamecocks fans while Wilson and Kaela Davis danced with the South Carolina band playing.

“You have to give tribute to the former players,” Staley said. “Go back to my Temple days, they believed in our vision. We took that vision to South Carolina, and that vision was we’ll be national champions. If you stick with us and if you’re disciplined, if you believe, all these players believed in that.

Happy our words came true to them.”

The Bulldogs couldn’t muster the same effort against the Gamecocks. Morgan William, who had become the face of the tournament with the game-winner against the Huskies after a 41-point performance against

Baylor, was held to eight points.

South Carolina (33-4) turned a 10-point halftime lead into a 45-31 advantage midway through the third quarter before the Bulldogs rallied. Mississippi State (34-5) slowly cut into its deficit, getting to within 54-50 on Jazzmun Holmes’ jumper. That brought a huge cheer from the thousands of Mississip-

pi State fans who made the 8-hour trip from Starkville, Mississippi.

But that’s as close as the Bulldogs could get.

The victory in front of a sellout crowd came one day after the Gamecocks men’s basketball team lost in the Final Four in Phoenix.

Wilson, who grew up in South Carolina, blocked a shot on one end of the court and then hit a short jumper in the lane that started a 12-2 run to put the game away. Staley emptied her bench with less than a minute left, and Wilson left with tears of joy. The junior center sees a repeat in the future for the Gamecocks, who return most of their core players.

“Man, just be with us next year, we’re trying to be in this same spot next year, we’re going to see how it goes,” Wilson said after winning the most outstanding player award for the Final Four.

The Gamecocks won the title without star center Alaina Coates, who hurt her ankle in the SEC tournament. She didn’t even travel with the team to Dallas.

It was the third loss for the Bulldogs against the Gamecocks this season.

Mississippi State dropped a game in South Carolina in the regular season as well as the SEC tournament title game.

Gonzaga? Tiny school with the funny name plays NC for title

By EDDIE PELLS

The Associated Press GLENDALE, Ariz. – For those who follow college basketball, the idea that Gonzaga is playing North Carolina for the national title doesn’t seem all that strange.

For those who don’t – or only get involved when it’s time to fill out a bracket – it still might.

Gonzaga? Really?

That a Jesuit school with 7,800 students based in Spokane, Washington, is going up against a behemoth from Tobacco Road in Monday night’s NCAA final is testament to a coach with a stubborn streak, an administration that bought in to basketball and the modern-day realities of a sport that allows for little guys to reach the biggest stage.

“I know you have to believe,” Gonzaga athletic director Mike Roth said.

“The biggest drawback some other schools have is that someone in that hierarchy says, ‘We can’t do that,’ or ‘We can never be like ...’ Well, if that’s the

case, then you probably can’t.”

In the mid-1990s, Gonzaga was a nothing program, an afterthought in the West Coast Conference with a dandy of mascot, the Bulldog, that wore a sailor’s cap.

Changing the mascot was part of the equation.

Dan Monson, a longtime assistant coach, got the top job and put some other pieces in place.

He nabbed a group that included a scrappy forward with the awesome name, Casey Calvary. Gonzaga made the tournament in 1999 and pulled off upsets over Minnesota, Stanford and Florida on the way to the Elite Eight. At that point, it was a Cinderella story, the likes of which we see almost every year when programs such as Butler, Virginia Commonwealth (VCU) and George Mason come from out of nowhere and make anything look possible.

But in Gonzaga’s case, 1999 marked the first in a string of 19 straight trips to the NCAA tournament, the past 18 of which have come since Monson left for Minnesota and the current coach,

Mark Few, took the helm. Counting his time as an assistant, Few has been at Gonzaga since 1989.

“When we first started coaching, our boss, Dan Fitzgerald, would always say, ‘Don’t waste the school’s money on [recruiting] a Pac-10 player. We’re not going to beat those schools,’ ” Monson said. “To Mark, that was motivation. It would make him recruit the kid harder. That’s who he’s always been. He’s very smart and very stubborn, and for a coach, those are two really good qualities to have.”

The team the Bulldogs face comes from the sort of school that is, quote-unquote “supposed” to be here.

North Carolina is a blue blood with five national titles.

North Carolina is Dean Smith and Michael Jordan and James Worthy and Roy Williams.

North Carolina is a campus with 28,000 students.

North Carolina is embroiled with the NCAA in a long-running academic scandal, which, sadly, is as definitive a marker as any of a school’s status in

the big time.

Nor does Few. But it’s different.

It took Few’s urging for Gonzaga to supply the coach with resources he needed to stay successful. A few years into his tenure, Few and Roth met with the school president at the time, Robert Spitzer, who previously had been recalcitrant about upgrades to the basketball facilities.

A new 6,000-seat arena opened in 2004, and at around the same time, Gonzaga became the first West Coast school to charter flights to all its road games.

Few’s winning percentage in the West Coast Conference over the past 10 years: .893.

The perennial questions about whether Gonzaga really is legit playing in a middling conference with one, maybe two, threatening opponents each year is somewhat offset by the aggressive scheduling of nonconference games that the new arena made possible. This trip to the final has pretty much ended any residual second-guessing.

BRUINS 3, BLACKHAWKS 2

Pans.”

Kevan Miller and Jordin Tootoo traded goals 25 seconds apart midway through the third period, with Tootoo, left all alone in front of Bruins goaltender Anton Khudobin, smacking in a centering feed from rookie John Hayden. But Khudobin, who finished with 41 saves, held off the Hawks from there.

The loss didn’t mean a heck of a lot for the Hawks, although it likely ended any hope they have of winning the Presidents’ Trophy. So Panarin chasing his bonus and Patrick Kane chasing down Connor McDavid for the scoring title are the most compelling story lines over the regular-season-ending three-game road trip to Colorado, Anaheim and Los Angeles.

For all his profane rants and terrifying glares, Quenneville always has been known as a players’ coach. And if a player’s in line for a big payday or a big number, he’ll do everything he can to get him there. So although he might spend the final week of the season resting some of his veterans, he likely will keep Panarin and Kane in the lineup down the stretch.

“Sometimes you try to help the guys out in those types of situations if you can,” Quenneville said. “You’re still playing games you’re trying to win, and sometimes the score dictates the ability to do that. We’ll play it accordingly and see how that plays out.”

BULLS 117, PELICANS 110

Another win keeps playoff talk going

By JOE COWLEY

jcowley@suntimes.com NEW ORLEANS – They’ve survived dysfunction coming from their own front office, a season-ending injury to their second-best player in Dwyane Wade and an ever-changing lineup.

So surviving an angry Boogie on Sunday?

No problem for this Bulls team.

At least the Bulls team that suddenly has shown up the past 10 days, emerging as one of the hottest squads in a mediocre Eastern Conference.

Thanks to another stellar 39-point performance from All-Star Jimmy Butler and Bobby Portis chipping in 21 points and 11 rebounds, the Bulls held off a fourth-quarter charge from a an agitated DeMarcus “Boogie” Cousins, winning their fourth straight game and improving to 38-39 on the season with a 117-110 win.

It was the Bulls’ sixth victory in their past eight games, and continued to solidify them a playoff ticket, while most of the East has been crumbling around them.

Atlanta, Miami, Milwaukee and Indiana each suffered losses Sunday, and although the Bulls remained in the No. 7 spot, they are only two games from the No. 5 spot.

And they were loving every minute of it. While the players were doing postgame interviews, they also were cheering on the Cavaliers in their double-overtime win against Indiana.

“What happened?” Butler yelled to his teammates in mid-interview after the locker room went crazy.

All that mattered to coach Fred Hoiberg was Butler happened.

After scoring 33 points and playing 42-plus minutes in Saturday’s win, Butler came back to score 39 in 38-plus minutes a day later.

Butler saw it as just another day’s work.

“Yeah, I’m dialed in,” Butler said. “I think I’m rolling. I’m playing well, I’m doing what my team needs me to do, and we’re winning. So, at the end of the day, that’s all that matters.”

As far as all the work lately?

“I just look back to the summer,” Butler said. “I’m tired every day during the summer, but we still get up, we still work hard, we still do what we’re supposed to do. But on top of everything else, I just want to win. I think my will to do that is going to overcome all the fatigue.”

It was able to overcome Cousins, who started getting physical with the Bulls in the fourth, as New Orleans attempted to get back in the game.

With the lead down to just six, however, Butler came up with a huge block and then hit a jumper with 19 seconds left to stall the comeback.

The ASSOCIATED PRESS

HUMBLE, Texas – Russell Henley no longer gets to take a week off, and he couldn’t be happier.

He’s going to the Masters.

Henley overcame a four-shot deficit Sunday in the Houston Open by closing with a 7-under-par 65 for a three-shot victory, one of the most important final rounds of his career. Only later did he realize it might have been his best.

He made 10 birdies. He never went more than two holes without a birdie.

“I made 10 birdies today?” he asked.

“Oh, wow. Wow. Yeah, then I guess it’s definitely the best.”

Henley ran off five of them in the opening eight holes to briefly catch up to Sung Kang, only to make a double bogey from the bunker on the par-3 ninth at the Golf Club of Houston. But the 27-year-old from Georgia was just getting warmed up.

The decisive stretch came on the par-5 13th, where Henley and Kang were tied for the lead. Henley pitched to 3 feet for birdie, while Kang missed from 15 feet. On the par-3 14th, Henley rolled in a 35-foot birdie putt on the fast greens, cut to try to mimic what players will face at Augusta National.

Kang did well to save par from 6 feet.

And then Henley raced out to a threeshot advantage with another up-anddown for birdie on the par-5 15th.

He finished with a bogey for 20-under 268, three shots ahead of Kang.

Rickie Fowler never was in the picture. He made a double bogey with a wild drive on the second hole, and then hit driver off the deck into the water on the par-5 fourth hole to drop another shot. Fowler trailed by as many as seven shots until a flurry of birdies late in the round when it was out of reach.

Fowler closed with a 70 and tied for third, along with Luke List (68).

Jon Rahm, the 22-year-old rookie from Spain, closed with a 67 and tied for 10th, his fourth consecutive top 10 as he heads to Augusta National for his Masters debut.

Henley won for the third time in his PGA Tour career, and his first since a playoff victory over Rory McIlroy in the 2014 Honda Classic. He was in danger of missing the Masters for the second straight year until winning the Houston Open, the only way into Augusta National at this point.

All the talk about his points and the bonus and the salary-cap ramifications – it got to Artemi Panarin last season. It started to weigh on him, and it affected his play on the ice. So in his sophomore campaign, he had managed to stay blissfully ignorant of his point total and his place among the league’s forwards for nearly an entire season.

Then he called his Artemi grandfather Saturday.

Panarin “I don’t think about this at all,” Panarin said through an interpreter after the Blackhawks’ 3-2 loss to the Boston Bruins on Sunday.

“I’m trying to play my best all the time, and until [Saturday], I didn’t know how many points I have. And I was arguing a little bit with my grandpa over the phone [when] he started taking about points again. I don’t think about that. So I’m not going to call him today.”

Panarin’s play lately has been no joke. With another goal Sunday – one of the strangest ones he’ll score in his career – Panarin moved into a tie for ninth place among NHL forwards with 72 points. If he finishes in the top 10, he’ll trigger a $1.725-million bonus for the second straight season – a bonus

that can wreak havoc on the Hawks’ offseason plans, as it will count against next year’s salary cap. He has five goals in his past four games, and is one shy of hitting the 30-goal mark for the second time in as many NHL seasons.

“Personally, for me, it’s a little bit distracting,” Panarin said. “If I get on the ice and think about my points, bad luck happens. I don’t want to think about it.”

Panarin’s goal was one of the few highlights for the Hawks, who were playing their first game since clinching the Central Division title and home-ice advantage throughout the Western Conference playoffs. The Bruins, meanwhile, have been in a desperate playoff push for weeks, and jumped out to a 2-0 lead on first-period goals by Ryan Spooner and Patrice Bergeron.

Panarin cut the deficit in bizarre fashion. Richard Panik was turtled inside the Bruins net after taking an elbow from Chara, when Panarin’s shot into a wide-open net hit Panik in the head. The puck bounced back out, Panarin put in the rebound, and Panik had the weirdest primary assist of his career.

“I got an elbow to my right jaw, I wasn’t real happy about that,” Panik said. “But as soon as we scored, I was happy.”

22 MONSTER ENERGY NASCAR CUP SERIES

Keselowski pulls away and wins at Martinsville

By HANK KURZ Jr.

The Associated Press MARTINSVILLE, Va. – Brad Keselowski passed Kyle Busch with 43 laps to go and pulled away to win for the first time in his career at Martinsville Speedway on Sunday.

The victory was the 23rd for Keselowski, the 2012 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series champion, and his second in the first six races of this season. It made him just the eighth active driver with a victory in the top series on NASCAR’s oldest and shortest oval.

“We’ve ran so good here ... but something always happens and we haven’t been able to bring it home,” Keselowski said in Victory Lane.

“Martinsville is just one of those champion’s tracks. The guys that run well everywhere, run good here, and it’s really just an honor to win here.”

The victory was the first for Ford on the 0.526-mile oval since 2002, and gave Keselowski five straight top-five finishes this year.

Keselowski and Busch swapped the lead several times during a green flag run that began with 64 laps to go.

Keselowski had the lead coming out of a caution, but Busch quickly slipped underneath him to go back in front. Keselowski stalked him for 14 laps, the nose of his Ford inches from the rear bumper of Busch’s Toyota.

When he finally got around Busch again, he gradually pulled away, opening

a lead of nearly two seconds that helped him when he also had to navigate around lapped traffic. He won by 1.8 seconds.

“All we did was put four tires on, and when we did, it went to junk,” Busch said of his car. “I hate it for our guys.

They’ve deserved all year better finishes than what we’ve been able to produce, and here’s another one today. Just frustrating season so far.”

Busch led a race-high 274 laps and finished second, followed by Chase Elliott, Joey Logano and Austin Dillon.

It was the first time NASCAR tried its new stage racing on a short track, and it provided some excitement.

Martin Truex Jr. won the first stage in a three-lap sprint to the finish that featured lots of banging in the pack as drivers jostled to make the point-scoring top 10.

Elliott won stage two when Ricky Stenhouse Jr., trying to get back on the lead lap, nudged Busch on the final lap of the stage, getting Busch just loose enough for Elliott to slide underneath him to score the regular-season points and coveted playoff point.

Busch said he has no problem with being bumped, as long as the other drivers expect the same treatment in reverse.

“I actually was rolling into Turn 3 and was kind of going higher out of the way and was going to let (Stenhouse) back by and give him the lap,” Busch said. “That was my intent, and then he just drove through me and cost me my spot to (Elliott). I was trying to be a nice guy.”

going forward, Rick has laid a solid foundation.”

Reporters down the hall from the Sox clubhouse this spring heard loud laughter during Renteria’s team bonding exercises. They heard the manager exhorting the team in almost Rockne-esque tones. On the field during morning drills, he was a hands-on voice of instruction and encouragement.

And players say there is a firm side to him, as well.

It’s because Renteria wants things done right.

“If you make a mistake on the field, he sheds light on it in a positive way so it’s instructive for everybody to learn from,” infielder Tyler Saladino said.

“Everything we’re doing has purpose, even if it’s the smallest thing.

And with so much passion. He’s really trying to create community and family, organizationally inside and out. You come in excited for what he’s got in the morning.”

Renteria has old-school roots, but he seems to adapt to the new-age player.

“Each day there’s a message, some purpose he’s trying to spread to us,” Saladino said. “It makes for a very good learning environment. Even if it’s something you’re aware of, just the way he breaks it down and the perspective he puts it in is on another level.”

Saladino said Renteria “keeps the fire burning every day.” It will be worth watching to see whether he can sustain it for 162 more.

“He’s got this energy and emotion about him that you just cling to,” third baseman Todd Frazier said. “In the meetings, everybody is sitting up listening to what he’s got going on.

We have a mission: It’s hustle hard and play with enthusiasm and emotion. Only good things can come out of that.”

Frazier had genuine respect for Ventura and said he loved playing for him.

It was time for a change – even Ventura acknowledged as much – and Renteria provides a breath of fresh air.

“And he’s bringing it,” Frazier said. “We’ll see what happens.”

CHICAGO – Pitching coach Don Cooper had to marvel at Rick Renteria’s pace during his first spring training as manager of the White Sox. He almost seemed concerned.

“You can’t keep that up in a 162game schedule,” Cooper said.

Having managed the Cubs in 2014, Renteria knows a baseball season is a marathon, not a sprint.

But there was important work to do this spring, laying a foundation for his new regime, bringing players and staff together and enforcing a plan to bring an acceptable brand of play, hopefully starting Monday, when the Sox host the Tigers on Opening Day at Guaranteed Rate Field.

“There were a lot of things to do,” Renteria said when told of Cooper’s observation. “When we started here, we talked about inspiring, encouraging and motivating players. We’ve been consistent with that – sometimes in a firmer tone than others.”

Taking over after five years of Robin Ventura as manager, Renteria is overseeing a rebuild with the Sox in a similar, yet far from identical, environment he worked in with the Cubs.

Renteria had a lot on his plate this spring – starting with team bonding,

including players in the farm system as well as established veterans, as well as fundamentals, execution and hustle.

Every manager strives for these during spring training, but Renteria pursued it knowing first impressions mean a lot.

“It was a big step for all of us,” Renteria said of spring training.

And not to worry. Renteria, 55 knows the rigors of a 162-game schedule from his years as a player, coach and manager, so he knows how to pace himself to avoid a crash and burn.

“During the regular season, my energy level is the same, but it’s now going to be concentrated on 25 guys and our staff,” he said, suggesting a lighter workload. “I can’t change. It’s going to be hard to put me in a box, but it’s the only way I’m going to be able to function.”

Cooper, the longest-tenured coach who has worked under Jerry Manuel, Ozzie Guillen, Ventura and now Renteria, who he got to know when Renteria was bench coach in 2016, has bought into the rebuild, although it meant seeing prized pupil Chris Sale leave the building.

“It’s different, where we’re at as a club, as an organization,” Cooper said. “Where we’re trying to go and who we’re trying to be in the years

As for whether the physical benefits of calorie restriction apply to humans, a 2016 study in non-obese males and females compared those who maintained their normal diets to those who had a 25 percent decrease in their caloric intake. The subjects were followed for 24 months. The calorie restriction group lost almost 16 pounds more than the control group. Further, people’s moods improved significantly in the calorie restriction group, as did reported improvements in quality of life, sleep and sexual function.

When it comes to calorie restriction and longevity, note that in Okinawa, Japan, calorie intake is 17 percent less in adults and 36 percent less in children when compared to the rest of Japan. The rate of death from heart attacks, strokes and cancer is 31 to 41 percent less than the national average. This doesn’t prove cause and effect, but it does suggest the need for additional research.

Clearly, calorie restriction seems to have benefits, but proving those benefits over the long term in our not-so-steady human lives? That’s not easy. Certainly, however, in our world of plenty, we need to be mindful of the amounts that we eat.

Dear Doctor: Some studies suggest long-term calorie restriction can lengthen lifespan; others say it won’t. Which should we believe?

Dear Reader: This is a perplexing question. We need energy to live, and the food we eat provides that energy. Obviously, gluttony can lead to dire health consequences, including Type 2 diabetes, obesity and high blood pressure, but less obvious is the case for decreasing caloric intake to below normal levels in order to improve health.

The benefit of calorie restriction was first seen in laboratory rats in the 1930s.

Subsequent studies have shown that a 30 to 60 percent reduction in calories in mice and rats led to an increase in both the average and maximal lifespan of the rodents.

Of note, researchers found equal improvement in average lifespan among rodents that exercised to keep the weight down, but no improvement in maximal lifespan. In other words, if the maximal age of a rat is 2 1/2 years, the maximum age would increase to 3 years by calorie restriction, but would stay at 2 1/2 years by exercise.

Calorie restriction has shown benefits in chickens, spiders and even single-celled organisms.

The reason may lie in the reduction of the metabolic rate that occurs with calorie restriction. In reducing the metabolic rate, the body temperature decreases, as does the formation rate of damaging oxidative chemicals. These oxidative chemicals damage DNA, cell membranes and the protein within cells, and may be one of the reasons that bodies age. Also, calorie restriction

your son and daughter-in-law’s next visit, consider setting up one or more security cameras around your home. If what you suspect proves to be true, your daughter-in-law may suffer from emotional problems that need to be addressed.

And when you visit them, make sure to lock your belongings in your suitcase. If nothing else, that may give you peace of mind.

Dear Abby: I am recently separated. I just started seeing a guy who also was recently separated and who will soon be divorced. The problem is, he is my friend “Melissa’s” soon-to-be ex. They are breaking up because she cheated on him and left him for the other person.

He’s a great guy, and it’s too soon to tell if this could turn into an actual relationship. Melissa isn’t a best friend of mine, but she’s more than just an acquaintance. Should I pursue this or stop now? – Confused in Brooklyn Dear Confused: When it comes to rebound romances, I advise to proceed with caution, so you don’t get hurt. If you like this man, be a supportive friend to him for now. If the relationship develops into something more serious from there, so be it. You didn’t cause the divorce, Melissa did, and you shouldn’t be blamed.

Dear Abby: When restaurant hosts/hostesses decide where to seat patrons, I wish they would consider their mobility. Many times I have accompanied mobility-impaired family members and friends, and the host didn’t consider the distance to the table. I understand restaurant hosts try to balance the number of tables for the wait staff, but surely they can also consider the patron who would greatly appreciate a shorter walk to their table. – Mobility-Impaired Patron Dear Patron: Restaurant hosts are not dictators, nor are they mind readers. If you or someone with you has a disability that must be accommodated, inform the host and request a table that suits your needs. If the establishment values your patronage, the employees will be happy to comply.

Dear Abby:

DEAR ABBY I can’t talk to anyone about Jeanne this, including my Phillips husband, because they’ll think something’s wrong with me or I am making it up.

When my son and his wife come to visit or we visit them, there’s always something missing from my house or from my suitcase (when we visit them). When they visit, it’s always small items like a china teacup, a nut bowl or a figurine. After we return from a visit, there’s always a piece of costume jewelry or an item of clothing missing from my suitcase.

The items are always inexpensive. I never see these in their house, so I suspect she just takes them and throws them out. I don’t know what to do aside from confronting her, which will probably cause a rift with my son. I’ve mentioned it to my husband and he refuses to believe me! Is there something wrong with her? Please help. I don’t know how to handle this. – Going nuts in

Steve Jobs said, “Quality is more important than quantity. One home run is much better than two doubles.”

But if the doubles are back to back, you have one run scored and a man on second. At the bridge table, double fits are much better than single fits. But if your side has a double fit, so do the opponents. Each partnership will be able to win more tricks than the point-count would suggest.

In today’s deal, East-West have 17 points and North-South 23, suggesting maybe seven winners for East-West and nine for North-South.

But East-West can win 11 tricks in diamonds and North-South 10 in spades.

One difference is caused by the location of the heart king. If South held that card, the numbers would change to 10 for East-West and 11 for NorthSouth.

The basic rule for a double fit is: Declare.

In this auction, after a one-diamond opening and one-spade overcall, West might have made a pre-emptive jump to three diamonds if permitted by his system. Over two diamonds, North cue-bid to show at least game-invitational values in spades. Now East, despite only 11 high-card points, showed his second suit. Then South did likewise. These bids permitted both West and North to look more favorably upon their hands, with West leaping to five diamonds. North, though, knowing about the double fit, pushed on to five spades.

West led the heart queen. He was nervous that an opponent might be void in diamonds. Then East-West took their tricks for down one.
