CINCINNATI – Cincinnati Zoo officials said five cheetah cubs born after a rare C-section procedure are getting around-the-clock critical care in the zoo’s nursery.

The zoo’s director of animal health said it’s only the third C-section he has been involved with and his first on a cheetah.

The Cincinnati Enquirer reported the three male and two female cubs were born March 8 at the zoo’s cheetah breeding facility in Clermont County.

Just over 50 cheetah cubs have been born there since it opened in 2002.

Zoo officials said the cheetahs’ immune systems are not developed very well and they’re not able to actively fight off infections.

The cubs will stay in the nursery for at least eight weeks.

DOCTORS, PATIENTS CONNECT REMOTELY

By CAITLIN SWIECA

cswieca@nwherald.com CRYSTAL LAKE – When Nicole and Ron Crudup take their son, Evan, to his doctor’s appointments at the Epilepsy Foundation, the visits begin in familiar fashion: The family settles into the room, checks Evan’s measurements with a nurse and waits for their doctor to come.

But when Dr. Marvin Rossi appears, it’s not in person but on a 55inch flat screen TV mounted on the wall of the room.

Nancy Monica, the director of telehealth for the foundation, said video chatting technology helps patients in McHenry County have access to specialists who are not

available locally without the hassle of driving to Chicago. The Epilepsy Foundation recently expanded its practice to include those with a traumatic brain injury.

“It’s almost overwhelming how much [patients have] embraced it,” Monica said. “The beautiful part of this is they see the sub-specialist, but he’s connected to the social services right here within our own community.”

Between Rossi’s medical expertise and the staff members’ local connections, the foundation aims to provide patients with treatment plans that include medicine and so-

While that setup is not common in McHenry County, Monica said she’s confident the practice will become more widespread over time.

According to the Illinois Telehealth Initiative, an initiative of Partnership for Connected Illinois, there is a projected shortage of 130,000 physicians by 2025, meaning it will be more important to connect patients with doctors across distance.

LOCAL BRIEF Woman taken to hospital after Bull Valley crash

BULL VALLEY – A woman in her late 70s was taken to an area hospital after a single-vehicle crash Sunday morning in Bull Valley, officials said.

The Crystal Lake Fire Rescue Department was dispatched about 9:50 a.m. to Crystal Springs Road near Colonel Holcomb Drive, where a vehicle had reportedly crashed into a utility pole, Lt. Darrell Cook said.

Bull Valley Police Chief Jim Page said 82-year-old Richard Nelson of Woodstock swerved on Crystal Springs Road to avoid a deer before striking a utility pole.

His wife, Jeannine, suffered serious injuries, Page said.

She was taken to Centegra Hospital – McHenry.

The utility pole was significantly damaged and needed to be replaced, Cook said.

ComEd and the cable company were notified.

Page said no citations were issued.

LINDSAY BRIGHT

n WHO IS SHE? Senior at Cary-Grove High School, recently named TOPSoccer “Buddy of the Year” by the Illinois Youth Soccer Association n FAMILY: Mom, Laura; dad, Devin; sister, Abby; and brother, Jared n FAVORITE FOOD: Cheddar cheese n FAVORITE MOVIE: “Finding Nemo” n OTHER ACTIVITIES SHE’S INVOLVED IN: Life Skills program, Student Council board, National Honor Society, working at Northern Illinois Special Recreation Association and the Cary Park District Sarah Nader – snader@shawmedia.com

CARY – When people asked Lindsay Bright what she wanted to do when she grew up, the Cary-Grove student laughed it off, often joking that she wanted to be a princess.

When Bright got involved two years ago with Cary Soccer’s TOPSoccer program, which gives children with mental or physical disabilities an avenue to play soccer, that changed.

The Fox River Grove 18-year-old eventually rose to the position of buddy coordinator and was recently named “Buddy of the Year” by the Illinois Youth Soccer Association.

Bright is headed to the University of Iowa in the fall and plans to major in a life sciences field so she can eventually become an occupational therapist helping kids with special needs.

She sat down with reporter Caitlin Swieca to talk about her experiences with TOPSoccer.

Swieca: How did you get involved with the TOPSoccer program?

Bright: My old soccer coach [Caulbert

Smith] actually helped start Cary’s TOPSoccer. After one of my games he was like, ‘All right, Lindsay, come on, you’re coming to this.’

Didn’t really ask me if I wanted to come, he just kind of dragged me along.

I wasn’t even wearing shoes, because I couldn’t play in my cleats with the kids, so I was barefoot.

The old buddy coordinator put me with one of the kids who had a buddy, so I kind of doubled up. She’s like, ‘All right, go have fun.’

I had no clue what I was doing. I had no previous experience with kids with special needs. I kind of got thrown into it.

It’s so weird to think it was that one day that set forth the rest of my life.

I’m going to school next year to go into

Lindsay Bright, 18, of Cary poses for a portrait March 10 outside Cary-Grove High School.

Bright won a statewide award for her work with TOPSoccer, a program that gives boys and girls with physical or mental disabilities the opportunity to play soccer. occupational therapy to work with kids with special needs.

Swieca: What got you hooked on this program?

Bright: The fact that it is so reward-

ing. How much helping someone can make your day. I look forward to going so much.

I was buddied with this one kid consistently for six months, and the relationship we formed and the bond we had, that’s how I want everyone else to feel.

I want everyone else to be excited to come and get as much out of it as I get out of it, and as much as the kids get out of it, too.

You feel so good after doing it. You feel like a great person, like you’re on top of the world. Nothing is better than that, I think.

Swieca: What makes soccer a good vehicle for the kids that are involved?

Bright: Just because everyone can do

it. We have little, little ones who don’t really have the coordination to catch things.

This, they can just kick and run.

There’s so much moving around. You can do so much with it.

Even if we’re not playing soccer, we can still do fun things. We can roll balls.

We can throw balls. Just getting them moving is a big part of it.

Swieca: Can you tell me about the kid you first connected with?

Bright: There was this one boy who is

the one I got buddied up with randomly the one day I showed up. Ever since then, I was buddied up with him. He is

the cutest thing.

Whenever he’d score a goal, he’d do a celebration dance, but it wasn’t like a one-move dance. It was a full, minute-long dance from a segment of some dancing video game.

I’m pretty sure we spent more time dancing than we did actually playing, but it motivated him to score goals because he liked to dance.

He actually moved to Texas, so I’m friends with his mom on Facebook and I see him there. But I haven’t seen him in so long.

It’s just so sad, when you bond with somebody and they leave. It helped me because that’s how I choose who is paired up with who.

I want people to have that experience, and I think I’ve done that for people.

Swieca: What was your reaction to winning the “Buddy of the Year” award from the Illinois Youth Soccer Association?

Bright: I didn’t really know I was

being nominated for it. They kind of surprised me with it.

When I did find out, I was like, ‘Oh, that’s really nice,’ but I didn’t want to get my hopes up or anything for it.

When I did find out, I was really excited.

It was really cool to be recognized by something that’s so big. I think, ‘Oh, it’s just Cary, it’s around here, no one really knows.’

To be recognized by the same place I played soccer for so long, to have all of Illinois soccer understand what I do and have that be acknowledged and thanked was really nice.

It made me realize what I do is rewarding, and it is making a difference.

Development of long-vacant Maplewood property on hold

Village continues to mull buying it from District 26

By ALLISON GOODRICH

agoodrich@shawmedia.com and CAITLIN SWIECA cswieca@shawmedia.com CARY – Development of the long-vacant Maplewood property is in a holding pattern as Cary School District 26 officials wait to hear from the village about how to proceed.

Village Administrator Chris Clark said there has been discussion about the possibility of the village buying the property from the school district for about four months. He added that no offer has been made.

“It’s only one of the possibilities,” Clark said. “Certainly, there’s some desire to understand and control the development of the site for the future of that neighborhood and Cary. One of the options is public acquisition.”

There has been little formal discussion about Maplewood since the last joint committee meeting in November – the committee is made up of two Village Board members and two school board members. However, school officials have said communication has contin-

ued between the two administrations, and there has been some contact with developers interested in the site.

“We’re giving the village the first opportunity to get involved and to decide what their level of involvement is,” school board President Scott Coffey said.

The school district carried out an appraisal process toward the end of last year, but Coffey said the school board has yet to determine a sale price. Meanwhile, he and Superintendent Brian Coleman said the village expressed interest in conducting its own evaluation of the property.

Chris Clark “The village has been busy,” Coleman said. “But we’re waiting to see what we can do together.”

Maplewood is far from the only item on the village’s docket.

Cary’s zoning and village boards have heard several residential development proposals over the past year, most recently a divisive proposal for a senior housing complex on a piece of property zoned for commercial use that was heard by the zoning board twice with differing results. The board also held multiple hearings on the controversial Pedcor affordable housing complex and

a housing development on Haber Road.

Trustee Ellen McAlpine, who was part of the Joint Maplewood Committee, said she viewed the Maplewood property as a top priority. She said she expects activity regarding the property to start picking up soon.

“I know there have been a couple of developers showing a little bit of interest,” McAlpine said. “Nothing has come directly to the board at this point, but we’re kind of keeping all options open to see what is going to be the best utilization of that property. We want to make sure it’s a viable property that’s self-sustaining.”

The former school building has sat vacant now for more than five years.

As the property owner, the school district is responsible for selling the land while land use and zoning matters have to be handled through the village. This dynamic has been a concern in past discussions about how to address Maplewood.

It costs District 26 about $70,000 a year to operate the vacant building, Director of Finance and Operations Jeff Schubert said, adding utilities run through the building also power the transportation center on the property.

“It’s a fraction of what an operational school costs, but it’s still $70,000,” he said. “And I’m getting no return on it.”

3 new principals approved in D-200

By ALLISON GOODRICH

agoodrich@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – Three people on Tuesday were approved by the Woodstock School District 200 Board to take over principal roles next school year.

“We’re really excited,” Superintendent Mike Moan said. “We had great candidate pools and a great collaborative process involving teachers, parents and students at the high school level.”

Michael Wheatley will replace Creekside Middle School Principal Bob Hackbart, who is retiring after 20 years with the district, according to information from District 200 officials.

Wheatley will come from Cooper Middle School in Buffalo Grove where he is assistant principal.

He will bring experience in instructional technology and science, technology, engineering and math fields with him, said District 200 administrative assistant Lynn Mohan.

At Westwood Elementary School, Ryan Hart will come from Martin Elementary School in Huntley to take over for Jason Eggert.

Moan has said Eggert Bob is leaving the district for Hackbart a different opportunity.

Hart is now the assistant principal at Martin and has led efforts to adopt a one-to-one technology program.

Jeremy Schaaf, who was appointed principal at Northwood Middle School after the former principal resigned and

was formally accused of stealing funds from the Parent Teacher Organization, kept the job after the board approved the hire Tuesday.

Previously, Schaaf was the assistant principal at Woodstock North High School.

Already approved was Darlea Livengood, currently the associate principal at Larkin Mark High School in Elgin, to Heckmon take over for Woodstock North Principal Brian McAdow.

McAdow will leave the role to fill in for Associate Superintendent for Human Resources Mark Heckmon, who will be retiring at the end of the school year.

Calibrated Power now can sell used vehicles

They first met Rossi in person and later had genetic testing done.

After their son was diagnosed with a rare form of epilepsy called Landau-Kleffner Syndrome, they’ve had follow-ups every four to six weeks in which the doctor helps them manage Evan’s medical care.

“We’ve never done anything like this, but I think having that we’ve already met Dr. Rossi in person and everything, it helped because we already had that comfortable relationship and trusted him,” Nicole Crudup said. “It makes it a lot easier.”

While Rossi said the technology has been crucial to his ability to see patients in McHenry County, he can’t rely on it solely to administer care.

He always tries to meet patients in person first to establish a relationship during his monthly visits to Crystal Lake, and during video visits, he counts on Monica and other office workers to take notes and coordinate.

“It’s a big deal from my perspective as a neurologist to work with patients whom I can see,” Rossi sad.

Some council members raised concerns over the appearance of the business at the Feb. 22 City Council meeting, while Terry McKenna, an attorney representing Calibrated Power Solutions, said the property is well-maintained and would not turn into a junkyard.

No more than 20 vehicles could be displayed in the parking lot at any time and the vehicles would be marketed online, rather than with banners like a typical car dealership, McKenna has said.

video chatting is just one application of telehealth, which is a wider term that encompasses a variety of uses for technology in medicine.

Elsewhere in Crystal Lake, Leap of Faith Technologies has developed a technology called eMedonline, which allows patients to use their mobile devices to manage their medication intake.

The technology is meant to eliminate non-adherence to medication instructions, which the company says causes more than two million serious adverse drug events annually.

Company founder and chief science officer Barbara Rapchak said she’s worked in telehealth for about a decade now and has received a number of grants over that time to develop the technology.

While many may think telehealth is only needed in rural areas, Rapchak said eMedonline is equally relevant to patients in any setting and of any age.

And in clinical studies with an average age of 65, patients have not had problems adapting to the program.

“It’s an evolving market and an evolving industry, and it takes a long time to take these technologies embedded in medicine,” Rapchak said. “It’s a tricky industry, a niche to be in, but extremely valuable to people and the future of society and something I believe in.”

Calibrated Power Solutions Inc., 950 Greenlee St., has been in the city for about two years, owner Nick Priegnitz said.

“The special-use permit is really just an extension of our exciting business,” Priegnitz said.

The business is research and development heavy, he said, and with the ability to sell cars it will be easier for the company to acquire and get rid of vehicles it uses to develop products.

COPENHAGEN, Denmark – Anker Joergensen, a former prime minister loved by many Danes for his down-toearth character but criticized for his handling of economic problems in the 1970s and ’80s, has died. He was 93.

Joergensen’s Social Democrats announced his death in a statement Sunday. It didn’t give the date or cause of death.

Joergensen led Danish governments in 1972-1973 and 1975-1982, a time when Denmark was marred by political turmoil and economic problems.

He resigned in 1982 after failing to get support for tax increases and spending cuts he had proposed to deal with the ailing economy.

Danes appreciated his humble demeanor and called him by his first name. Instead of moving in to the prime minister’s official residence, Joergensen and his family stayed in their apartment in a working-class neighborhood of Copenhagen.

“Throughout his life he was a tire-

less voice for creating equal opportunities for all people,” said Mette Frederiksen, the current leader of the Social Democrats.

Joergensen was a trade union leader with no government experience when he was tapped to succeed Social Democratic Prime Minister Jens Otto Krag in 1972.

He drew criticism from Washington and NATO allies for opposing the U.S. engagement in Vietnam and calling Anker for diplomatic ties with Joergensen communist East Germany. He also supported Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat, and said the Palestinians should have their own state.

As opposition leader in the 1980s, he demanded that Denmark should be neutral in the Cold War and NATO warships shouldn’t carry nuclear arms when in Danish waters. The opposition forced early elections in 1988, but the pro-NATO, right-leaning minority government that took over after Joergensen was able to stay in power.

THANK YOU NOTES

COMMUNITY CALENDAR

Chamber expo success

March 21

Thank you to all who participated in our Feb. 27 “Life is a Journey” McHenry Area Chamber of Commerce expo.

We enjoyed some of the best attendance we ever have had at an expo. The winner of our $250 cash prize was Kristi VanHam of McHenry.

Great appreciation is due to School District 156’s Kevin Weisenberger for being wonderful to work with, our outstanding emcee Gina Swinney, who just knew what to do when it was needed to be done, and Tom Stamborski and his wife, Diana, who helped unravel cords, hang banners, fix inflatables, make life easy for vendors and just filled in without being asked.

A hearty hug to Tom Hoffman, who patiently oversaw all as chairman of the expo. Let us not forget those who manned the booths and had so many giveaways that some of our attendees needed two bags just to leave the event. Betty Davis deserves a special thankyou for finding Anna and Elsa, a definite hit at the expo.

A thoughtful smile of appreciation is saved for my staff, Jane Manny and Kathy Pengilly, who make my life easier by being the nuts and bolts of any event. Centegra Health System and the Northwest Herald receive our gratitude as the sponsors, without which we could not have produced the expo.

I am blessed not only with volunteers and sponsors, but a great staff and I am grateful.

Crystal Lake South theater support

I wanted to sincerely thank Crystal Lake and the surrounding communities for their continued support of the Crystal Lake South theater program.

The Northwest Herald always is so wonderful about placing our information and pictures in their paper and online. We are grateful to the local stores, restaurants, banks, medical offices, dance studios and all of the establishments that kindly allow us to put up posters in their windows to get the word out about our productions each year.

Lastly, to all the patrons who saw “The Addams Family” or any of our previous shows, thank you for supporting our young thespians.

Lisa Wuest Crystal Lake

STATE

Rep. wants to legalize midwives statewide

BY ASHLEY LISENBY The Associated Press

SPRINGFIELD – Mishra Keller skirted a state law when she chose to deliver her second child at home with the help of a midwife, given that the trained birthing professionals have been barred from practicing since 1987 in Illinois.

Keller, a holistic health coach in Evanston, disagrees with the state’s stance, saying that midwives are a “good resource.” “With the right training, they can help people have positive outcomes,” Keller said.

State Rep. Robyn Gabel agrees, and is making her second attempt in a year to get the Home Birth Safety Act to the House floor – and hopefully into law.

The act would issue licenses to midwives for the first time since 1963 and legalize the practice, which she said is needed to give women more delivery options. But its passage is uncertain in the General Assembly, and the proposal still is staunchly opposed by doctors, who say there are possible risks to mothers and babies that could arise during at-home births.

A spokeswoman for Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner said he would review the plan if it reached his desk.

PARK FOREST – The Park Forest Police Department has posted a Facebook update on one of its officers who was critically injured in a shooting Saturday.

WLS-TV in Chicago reported Officer Tim Jones was shot three times in the jaw and neck Saturday morning and is hospitalized with life-threatening injuries.

Jones, who has been on the force less than a year, was investigating a break-in when he was shot. The Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office identified the man accused of shooting Jones as 21-year-old Thurman Reynolds of Park Forest, who was killed when officers returned fire.

The department posted Sunday on Facebook that the 24-year-old Jones is in

Off-duty officer shoots man, says he was hit with bat

CHICAGO – An off-duty Chicago police officer shot and wounded a man who authorities said struck the officer with a baseball bat.

The police department said in a news release that a 37-year-old officer was walking about 10:30 p.m. Saturday in a West Side neighborhood when he saw an “aggressive male subject” holding his waistband. The release said the officer began a patdown, and the person “called out to family members.”

A 32-year-old man came out of a house with a bat and hit the officer “multiple times in the upper body” before the officer fired at him. The man underwent surgery at a hospital.

But Dr. Maura Quinlan, an assistant obstetrics and gynecology professor, practicing OB/GYN and the chairwoman of Illinois’ ACOG chapter, said the organization might be more receptive to Gabel’s bill if it included pathways for professional midwives and doctors to work collaboratively on issues such as assessing a mother’s risk before delivery. Problems that can arise during athome births include postpartum hemorrhaging and the need for resuscitation.

“We see attempted home births and the baby is dead or hasn’t had oxygen or the mother is sick. We are a little jaded because we see the disaster cases that eventually come to the ER,” Quinlan said.

Opponents overlook possible Medicaid savings, as low-income women who would normally deliver at the hospital could instead hire a midwife, said Rachel Wickersham, the president of Coalition for Illinois Midwifery.

Dollar store robbery in Springfield 5th in a month

SPRINGFIELD – A man who implied he had a gun robbed a dollar store in Springfield on Sunday – the fifth discount store robbed in a month.

Springfield police told the (Springfield) State Journal-Register the man walked into a Family Dollar Store at 9:53 a.m. and demanded money.

He suggested he was armed although the clerk did not see a gun. The man took an undisclosed amount of money and escaped on foot.

Police said they are investigating the likelihood that the robber is the same one who has robbed four other dollar stores in recent weeks. In the last two incidents, no weapon was displayed.

The first incident was Feb. 23. On that date and on Feb. 25, a robber entered separate Dollar General stores and displayed weapons.

President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama greet children and families of U.S. Embassy personnel during an event Sunday at Melia Habana Hotel in Havana, Cuba.

President arrives in Cuba for ‘historic visit’ The ASSOCIATED PRESS

HAVANA – Stepping into history, President Barack Obama opened an extraordinary visit to Cuba on Sunday, eager to push decades of acrimony deeper into the past and forge irreversible ties with America’s former adversary.

“This is a historic visit and a historic opportunity,” Obama said as he greeted staff of the new U.S. Embassy in Havana.

Air Force One touched down on a rainy, overcast day in the Cuban capital. The president was joined by wife Michelle Obama and daughters Malia and Sasha.

Obama was greeted by top Cuban officials – but not President Raul Castro. The Cuban leader frequently greets major world figures upon their arrival at Jose Marti International Airport, but was absent on the tarmac. Instead, he planned to greet Obama on Monday at the Palace of the Revolution.

Obama’s whirlwind trip is a crowning moment in his and Castro’s ambitious effort to restore normal relations between their countries. While deep differences persist, the economic and political relationship has changed rapidly in the 15 months since the leaders vowed a new beginning.

After greeting embassy staff, Obama and his family toured Old Havana by foot, despite a heavy downpour. They walked gingerly on the slippery wet stones in the square in front of the Havana Cathedral. A few hundred people gathered in the square erupted in applause and shouted Obama’s name as the first family stepped forward.

The Obamas then dined at a privately owned restaurant in a bustling, working class neighborhood. Jubilant crowds surged toward the president’s heavily fortified motorcade as it inched through the San Cristobal restaurant.

For more than 50 years, Cuba was an unimaginable destination for a U.S. president, as well as most American citizens. The U.S. severed diplomatic relations with Cuba in 1961 after Fidel Castro’s revolution sparked fears of communism spreading to the Western Hemisphere. Domestic politics in both countries contributed to the continued estrangement well after the Cold War ended.

“He wanted to come to Cuba with all his heart,” 79-year-old Odilia Collazo said in Spanish as she watched Obama’s arrival live on state TV. “Let God will that this is good for all Cubans. It seems to me that Obama wants to do something good before he leaves.”

Ahead of Obama’s arrival, counter-protesters and police broke up an anti-government demonstration by the Ladies in White group, whose members were taken into custody by female police officers in a scene that plays out in Havana each Sunday. They’re typically detained briefly and then released.

Obama’s visit was highly anticipated in Cuba, where workers furiously cleaned up the streets in Old Havana and gave buildings a fresh coat of paint ahead of his arrival. American flags were raised alongside the Cuban colors in parts of the capital, an improbable image for those who have lived through a half-century of bitterness between the two countries.

Trump vs. Clinton tests political pitfalls

By LISA LERER and KEN THOMAS The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – When is a gaffe not a gaffe? When Donald Trump says it.

Over a period of 72 hours earlier this month, the Republican front-runner faced a campaign crisis after unrest at his events forced him to cancel a rally in Chicago. He responded, not by apologizing, but by justifying his supporters’ violent reactions to protesters at his events and offering to pay legal fees.

Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton spent much of the same period cleaning up misstatements about former first lady Nancy Reagan’s role in addressing the AIDS epidemic, whether her policies would kill coal-mining jobs and her husband’s 1993 health care plan.

The three-day window offered a glimpse into an extraordinary campaign cycle, in which strategists on both sides are wondering whether Trump’s penchant for provocation has shifted the gaffe gauge in American politics.

His bombast has shaken up the Republican primary contest. As the race moves toward the general election, new questions have arisen about a double standard in political rhetoric – one for Trump and another for everyone else.

“Trump’s ‘gaffes’ haven’t hurt him because a certain segment of GOP primary voters actually support the things he is saying and the way he is saying them,” said Dan Pfeiffer, a former Obama adviser.

Mike DuHaime, a Republican strategist and former adviser to New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie’s presidential campaign, said the image Trump projects as a political outsider has superseded the controversy that surrounds him.

Whether by mistake or intention, there’s little question Trump’s eruptions are key to his strat- Donald egy. He canceled a sched- Trump uled event March 11 at the University of Illinois at Chicago, one of the country’s most diverse campuses, despite a flood of incensed responses. The result was a chaotic and violent scene after which Trump dominated the airwaves, starving his rivals for coverage in the run-up to the critical March 15 primaries.

The only time Clinton broke through the clutter was when she talked about Trump, a situation that wasn’t lost on Democrats who noted his ability to stay

on the offensive throughout the GOP primaries. But party strategists and Clinton aides believe that calculus will change in the general election, pointing to Trump’s high negative ratings.

“Trump’s statements, while they play very well with Republican primary voters, they’ve turned off the vast majority of Americans,” said Democratic pollster Mark Mellman, who is not advising Clinton’s campaign.

Democrats already have begun stockpiling potential ammunition about the billionaire and are planning a coordinated effort to undercut his appeal.

“Republicans have Hillary Clinton utterly failed to police their own ranks,” said David Brock, a Clinton ally who oversees multiple Democratic super PACs. “Should he get the nomination, I think progressives will be able to hold his feet to the fire in a way that Republicans never would.”

Early efforts spilled out into the public this week when a Democratic group backing Clinton blasted out footage of Trump refusing to name his foreign policy advisers and instead cited his own “very good brain.”

“Is this who we want,” asked Priorities USA, a super PAC backing Clinton’s bid, and quickly spliced the interview into an online video.

That’s a strategy they used in 2012, when Democrats seized on a leaked video showing Republican nominee Mitt Romney at a private fundraiser in Florida dismissing “47 percent” of voters as backing President Barack Obama because they are “dependent on government.” That comment helped Democrats paint Romney as a heartless plutocrat only concerned about protecting the wealthy.

“It fit perfectly with the narrative our campaign was telling about him, and it was one that voters found very believable about him,” Pfeiffer said.

Other candidates haven’t been as immune. Arizona Sen. John McCain was trailed by a comment he made in September 2008, hours before investment bank Lehman Brothers filed for bankruptcy, when he said: “The fundamentals of the economy are strong.”

In that same election, Clinton seized on comments then-Illinois Sen. Obama made in a San Francisco fundraiser describing some small-town Pennsylvania voters as “bitter,” saying they “cling to guns or religion.”

By FRANCES D’EMILIO The Associated Press

VATICAN CITY – Pope Francis in his Palm Sunday homily decried what he called indifference to the refugees flooding into Europe, making a comparison to authorities who washed their hands of Jesus’ fate ahead of his crucifixion.

Before celebrating an outdoor Mass, Francis led a procession through St. Peter’s Square to usher in Holy Week, the solemn period leading to Easter.

Faithful Catholics clutching olive branches and braided palm fronds received his blessing.

Francis abandoned his homily text to lament Europe’s handling of the influx of migrants and asylum-seekers fleeing war, persecution or poverty from Syria, Iraq, Africa and elsewhere.

Palm Sunday recalls a crowd’s triumphant welcome of Jesus entering Jerusalem. But soon Jesus would be condemned to be crucified after a series of authorities declined to rule on his fate. Francis drew a parallel to that with some European countries’ refus-

al to take responsibility for some of the more than 1 million refugees who reached European Union shores last year after risky sea voyages arranged by smugglers.

Jesus was “denied every justice,” the pope said. “Jesus also suffered on his own skin indifference, because no one wanted to take on the responsibility for Pope Francis his destiny.”

“And I am thinking of so many people, so many on the margins, so many refugees” for whom “many don’t want to assume responsibility for their destiny,” Francis said in a clear reference to Europe’s migration debate.

In an effort to fight the smuggling, EU and Turkish officials made a deal to send back to Turkey migrants now arriving on Greek islands. The action was to begin Sunday, but it was not clear if that would be the case.

After the Mass, Francis joyfully greeted tens of thousands of people as he toured the square in his white popemobile.

ARE YOU LEFT- OR RIGHT-EYED? Just as you have a dominant hand, you also have a dominant eye; however, the two do not necessarily correspond to one another.Though most people show hand and eye dominance on one side or the other, at least 35 percent of the population is “crossed,” meaning that they might be right-handed but have a dominant left eye, or vice versa. According to research involving college-aged baseball players, this can make a difference in the way people play baseball. When the effects of ocular dominance on college baseball players were studied, it was found that the best hitters had crossed eye/hand dominance. The best pitchers had uncrossed dominance.Vision plays a crucial part in athletic performance.

P.S. In normal binocular vision, there is an “effect of parallax” in which the dominant eye is the one that is primarily relied on for precise positional information, an important role in sports that requires aiming (archery, darts, etc.)

BAGHDAD – After months of losing ground in Iraq and Syria, the Islamic State group is showing signs of wear and tear, and its opponents say they have seen an increase in desertions among the extremists. But the jihadis appear to be lashing back with more terrorist and chemical attacks.

Under a stepped-up campaign of U.S.-led and Russian airstrikes, as well as ground assaults by multiple forces in each country, the jihadis are estimated to have lost about 40 percent of their territory in Iraq and more than 20 percent in Syria. At their highest point in the summer of 2014, the group had overrun nearly a third of each country, declaring a “caliphate” spanning from northwestern Syria to the outskirts of Baghdad.

At that time, the extremists were riding high, known for their courage, experience, readiness to die and brutality.

Now, those battling them on the ground say they appear to be flagging.

“What we are witnessing is that Daesh are not as determined as they used to be,” Lt. Col. Fares al-Bayoush, commander of a Syrian rebel faction, said, using an Arabic acronym to refer to IS. His 1,300-strong Fursan al-Haq Brigade has been fighting against IS and Syrian government forces for more than a year.

“Now there are members who surrender, there are some who defect. In the past they used to come blow themselves up,” he said.

A Palestinian-American member of IS recently gave himself up to Kurdish forces in northern Iraq, but so far, the reports of desertions are mostly anecdotal. Brett McGurk, President Barack Obama’s envoy to the U.S.-led coalition

fighting IS, said this week at a conference in northern Iraq that IS desertions have increased recently and more are expected, but he did not provide figures.

Clint Watts, a fellow at the Foreign Policy Research Institute, said IS is experiencing a phenomenon he’s witnessed in other extremist groups that begin to lose territory.

“You’ve seen more and more reports of defectors just broadly, and you’ve also seen more reports of internal killings of so-called spies,” Watts said. “As they lose ground and retract you start to see these fractures emerge in the organization.”

The IS setbacks began over a year ago, when the fighters were forced out of the northern Syrian Kurdish town of Kobani by local Kurdish forces backed

by U.S.-led airstrikes.

In December, the predominantly Kurdish U.S.-backed Syrian Democratic Forces, or SDF, under cover of intense coalition airstrikes seized the Tishrin Dam, which supplies much of northern Syria with electricity. In the weeks that followed the forces gained control of more areas.

In all of 2015, the jihadis lost 14 percent of their territory in Syria, according to IHS, an analysis group that monitors the conflict. In the past three months, they lost another eight percent, a sign that the erosion is accelerating.

The IHS figure roughly matches an estimate of a 20 percent loss given this week

by U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry.

In February alone, the SDF said it captured 927 square miles consisting of 315 villages including the IS stronghold of Shaddadeh, on the main road linking the Iraqi city of Mosul and the Syrian city of Raqqa, the de facto capital of the “caliphate.” SDF spokesman Col. Talal Sillo said the command will meet soon to plan for another offensive in northern Syria.

ANOTHER VIEW

Proposal will reign in costs Americans spent almost half a trillion dollars on prescription drugs last year, or nearly $1 out of every $6 spent on health care. And the total is rising fast, driven by an increased reliance on medications and a shift toward higher-priced drugs.

Federal taxpayers help pay for some of those drugs, and last week the Obama administration proposed a new approach aimed at encouraging the use of the most effective medicines, not the most expensive ones. The proposal quickly was denounced by doctor groups and drug makers, who argued it could harm patients. But what it really targets is a bad business model that makes health care needlessly expensive.

The focus of the experiment is Medicare Part B, the optional but popular insurance program for older Americans that covers physician and outpatient services. Part B pays for a number of specialty medicines, typically ones such as chemotherapy drugs administered in a doctor’s office or hospital.

These drugs cost Americans more than $22 billion last year, which was twice the amount spent in 2005.

The biggest part of that increase was a tripling in the amount spent on biologic drugs – complex medications generated from living cells – which federal researchers said was mainly due to price hikes.

The Part B drug program exemplifies a problem in the health care system. The way Medicare pays for prescription drugs gives doctors an incentive to choose the most expensive alternatives, and gives drug makers an incentive to raise prices relentlessly. In other words, the system works for doctors and pharmaceutical companies at the expense of everyone else. Eliminating such perverse incentives without reducing the quality of care is crucial to slowing the unsustainable growth of health care costs.

One might wonder why doctors and clinics are in the business of buying and selling drugs in the first place. They shouldn’t be. The government once before tried to take doctors out of these transactions by paying drug suppliers directly for Part B medications, but participation was voluntary and the effort was suspended in 2009.

The drug industry’s trade association defended the current Part B system, calling it “an effective, market-based pricing mechanism that works to control costs.” But as with so much of the health care system, Part B’s prescription program doesn’t function that way, with prices influenced only by supply and demand. The interests of the people who need care and pay the bills for it have to be aligned better with those of the doctors, hospitals and drug makers that provide it. The administration’s proposal is an overdue step in that direction.

It is estimated that corruption in Illinois costs taxpayers as much as five hundred million dollars per year.” The book “Corrupt Illinois: Patronage, Cronyism and Criminality” was written by Thomas J. Gradel and Dick Simpson.

Scandalous township trip To the Editor: With the usual township arro-

gance, and with township government’s complete disregard on how public money is spent, Thornton Township in Cook County spent more than $46,000 on a luxury trip to South Carolina.

Thornton Township officials spent $46,120 on a September fact-finding trip, where 15 officials campaigned for a southern church to receive the Nobel Peace Prize. This trip had little to do with fact finding. It was about a township photo-op, in addition to eating and drinking well on the taxpayers’ dime.

The four-day trip was led by Thornton Township Supervisor Frank Zuccarelli, who earns $178,000 a year. In addition to travel and food expenses, the township paid $1,000 honorariums for going and $1,000 and $600 for work.

Records released by the township show hotel lodging for 15 delegates, air travel, bus service

and visits at restaurants.

At one restaurant, the township spent more than $1,000 for a meal that included octopus, flounder, rib-eye steak, scallops, crab cakes and ice cream. Another meal included Maine lobster, veal, lobster spaghetti, roasted beets, shrimp cocktails and wine.

Officials feasted, while spending $1,261 at another restaurant, on shrimp and grits, halibut, short ribs, fried green tomatoes, fried oysters and key lime tarts in addition to a Jack Daniels and a Grand Marnier.

Zuccarelli said “the trip was so rewarding we had tears in our eyes.” Thornton Township residents should have tears in their eyes.

Township government is the government of redundancy, nepotism, waste, fraud and abuse.

Townships should be abolished.

VIEWS Gene Lyons Let’s you and him fight. Worked perfectly, too. Does it matter the students who boasted of their ability to shut the Trump rally down are Bernie Sanders supporters? No, but it figures.

As Scarborough also correctly observed, they’re political naifs who got played, giving Trump a fine opportunity to whine “on cable news channels about how his First Amendment rights were being violated. He was doing all of this while reaching a far larger audience than he could have ever done while actually speaking at a rally.”

Sanders would do well to emphasize to supporters his own reverence for free speech rights, which I do not doubt. Why give the bully a chance to play at being the real victim?

On his Esquire Politics blog, my man Charles P. Pierce addressed the issue with characteristic understatement: “Let’s all stipulate that chanting for Bernie Sanders while you’re shutting down a Trump rally is just about as stupid a political move as there is.”

You want to protest? Fine. Pierce suggested setting up picket lines outside the arena.

“Stop being played for such suckers. Stop enlisting yourself in his bloody vaudeville.”

Meanwhile, let’s remain calm, shall we?

This is nothing close to 1968, that annus horribilis in American life. No Vietnam War, with its hundreds of conscripted dead every week. No cities in flames, and prayerfully nothing like the Martin Luther King and Robert F. Kennedy assassinations that broke the nation’s heart.

A handful of hotheads at Trump rallies shouldn’t blind us to the fact, as President Barack Obama recently pointed out, that the angriest people in America are those without a clue about what’s actually going on.

Asked if he bore responsibility for the nation’s “incredibly polarized political climate,” Obama was scathing.

“I have been blamed by Republicans for a lot of things,” he said, “but being blamed for their primaries and who they’re selecting for their party is novel.

“Think about it: If somebody told you seven years ago we’d have 4.9 percent unemployment, 20 million newly insured, gas at a buck-eighty, deficits cut by three-quarters, marriage equality a reality, bin Laden out of the picture, Wall Street reform in place – you wouldn’t have believed it. ... Imagine what Trump would say if he actually had a record like this – instead of selling steaks.”

And shadowboxing with college kids.

It’s not for nothing that Donald J. Trump was inducted into the Professional Wrestling Hall of Fame in 2013. The billionaire braggart’s entire presidential campaign is straight out of the WWE “Wrestlemania” playbook – all preposterous boasts, racialized taunts and simulated mayhem that threatens to turn into the real thing.

Wouldn’t TV news networks just love it?

Back last summer, when this column first took note of his uncanny impersonation of 1950s charismatic bleach-blond bad guy Dr. Jerry Graham (“I have the body that men fear and women adore”), I was unaware of Trump’s enshrinement. Having outgrown professional wrestling after eighth grade, I’d never witnessed the 2007 “Battle of the Billionaires” between Trump and WWE impresario Vincent McMahon.

Anyway, if you want a laugh, Google the fool thing. Sure, it’s several minutes of your life you’ll never get back, but watching Trump posing, preening and throwing what a Rolling Stone reporter accurately characterized as “some of the worst punches in wrestling history” might wise you up to the game.

Alternatively, you could be a chump and show up at one of his campaign events to scream insults at some similarly deluded fool, or even get cold-cocked by a 78-year-old patriot and watch it being broadcast in an endless loop by CNN. “I’d like to punch him in the face,” Trump said of a protester at an earlier event, one of several similar incitements. Yeah, well, the guy would probably survive.

For all The Donald’s penchant for sleeping with friends’ wives and bragging about it (Chapter 11, “The Art of the Deal”), I doubt he’s had much pugilistic experience. Very few guys with full-time butlers also have educated left hooks. Surrounded by bodyguards most of his life, Trump appears to enjoy watching them bully people.

Could things get out of hand as the campaign proceeds? Sure they could. This is the USA. Riots-R-Us. Scaring people into supporting a strongman is Trump’s only real hope of running this scam all the way to the White House.

“For the Manhattan billionaire,” MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough commented in The Washington Post, “manufactured chaos is just as profitable for his brand as Paris Hilton’s sex tape was for hers.”

Never mind Scarborough and “Morning Joe” co-host Mika Brzezinski until quite recently fawned over Trump almost daily. He followed former Obama White House chief of staff (and son of Chicago Mayor-for-Life Richard J. Daley) in suggesting the candidate scheduled a campaign event on the inner-city University of Illinois – Chicago campus precisely “for the purpose of provoking protests that would energize Trump’s own supporters.”

26 Current evidence doesn’t support use of growth hormones as anti-aging treatment Note to readers: This column is an update of one that ran originally in January 2013.

Dear Dr. K: A friend of mine who is in her 70s is getting growth hormone shots.

She says it fights aging. I’m dubious that anything can fight aging and worry about side effects. Am I just old-fashioned?

Dear Reader: Well, you certainly are right to ask these questions. If there was a treatment that could slow aging and was risk-free, I guess we’d all take it.

Growth hormone (GH) is a protein produced by the pituitary gland in the brain. It gets its name from the fact that it is important in stimulating growth during childhood. Children born with a growth hormone deficiency are destined to be very short unless they are treated with growth hormone early in life.

What about using GH in aging adults?

First of all, there is absolutely no evidence that taking GH supplements will lengthen a person’s life. However, it does appear to have some beneficial effects.

GH promotes an increase in muscle mass and a decrease in body fat. As men age, GH levels fall. During the same time span, muscle mass declines and body fat increases. And so (the theory goes), the way to arrest these effects of aging is to inject GH. To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of GH in healthy older people, a team of researchers reviewed 31 high-quality studies. Together, these studies evaluated 220 people who received GH and 227 people who did not. Two-thirds of the subjects were men; their average age was 69. The dosage of GH varied, as did the duration of therapy.

As compared to the subjects who did not get GH, the treated individuals

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff

gained an average of 4.6 pounds of lean body mass and shed a similar amount of body fat. There was a slight drop in total cholesterol levels, but no significant changes in LDL (“bad”) cholesterol, HDL (“good”) cholesterol, triglycerides, aerobic capacity, bone density, or fasting blood sugar and insulin levels. Sounds good, so far.

But here comes the bad news. People who used GH experienced a high rate of side effects. These included fluid retention, joint pain, breast enlargement and carpal tunnel syndrome.

A bigger concern is cancer. In laboratory studies, GH promotes the multiplication of cancer cells. Some epidemiological studies have found that people with naturally high levels of GH have higher rates of cancer. These studies by no means prove taking GH supplements raises a person’s risk of cancer, but it’s plausible they might.

So I don’t recommend taking GH supplements to fight aging. But there is a truly magical treatment that does slow aging in all parts of the body, including the brain – and it needn’t cause side effects.

If you’re regular readers of this column, you’ve probably guessed the name of the magical treatment: regular exercise. It will reduce your risk of many chronic illnesses and – it’s true – slow the ticking of the clock.

That one of the boys would try to gain entry to your house – I assume thinking there was no one there – is worrisome, and the parents should be put on notice about it. (In some neighborhoods the outcome could be dangerous.) If you can’t get them to take action, then consider fencing your yard.

In addition, I urge you to talk to a licensed mental health professional to help you work through your anger because it may be misdirected and a result of the sexual assault you experienced in grade school.

Dear Abby: My husband and I live in a small house on a small lot. We don’t have children, but love kids. Our problem is our next-door neighbors, whose two elementary schoolage boys have limited supervision. They’re always in our yard digging and leaving their toys around. Honestly, their own yard is bigger.

They constantly come over asking for candy, and the other day while my husband was working from home, he heard someone trying to open the door and pushing the keypad for entry. Needless to say, it was one of the boys.

I have tried asking them nicely to retrieve their toys, etc., but I’m getting really frustrated and afraid I’m going to lose my patience soon and blow. Please help us. – Trying To

Dear Abby:

DEAR ABBY I am a young man who is in Jeanne college. When I Phillips was an infant, I was circumcised, and I feel violated my parents decided to circumcise me without my consent. When the doctor performed the surgery, he took too much off, which causes me pain.

When I was in grade school, I was sexually assaulted by an older classmate, but I feel much more violated from the circumcision because it took a part of me I can never get back. I am filled with hate and anger toward my parents, even though I know it is unfair to them because they believed they were making the right choice at the time.

My parents know how I feel and are sorry, but I still have these negative feelings toward them because I can’t get the procedure undone. Do you have any suggestions how I can overcome my dilemma and build a better relationship with my parents? – Cut Short In

Warren Buffett said, “If past histoINDOOR HEATED GARAGE SALE ry was all there was to the game, the MARCH 19TH & 20TH richest people would be librarians.”

SATURDAY & SUNDAY 9AM - 5PM Every promising bridge player learns from books. But this week, we are primarily going to look at getting (In Back Garage) to game. In today’s deal, South opens one spade, and North raises to two So Many Items To Choose From..... spades. What should South do now?

Coach Purses, Cookie Lee Jewelry $5-$7 South has a hand that is not UGG Boots, Designer Clothes, strong enough to jump to game, but Home décor, Men's Hats, Scarves, Wallets, has sufficient power to think about 1973 VW Bug, 1972 Cuda. game. To recognize a hand that falls & SO MUCH MORE! into this bracket, count its losers.

815-823-4624 This one has one spade, two hearts, Advertise here for a successful garage sale! Call 877-264-2527 two diamonds (you worry only about the first three cards) and one club: CEDAR PICKET FENCE - FREE untreated, weathered. Sections are 6-ft. a total of six.

South should rebid three diaCall 815-385-9883 monds, which is called a help-suit ORGAN ~ LOWERY game-try. It implies losers in diaWorks, needs a tune-up.

847-370-3229 monds and asks partner to look Northwest Herald Classified primarily at his spades and diamonds.

It works.

Here, North has great holdings in those suits, so, despite only six highcard points, he should jump to four spades.

West begins the defense with three rounds of hearts. After ruffing, how should South continue?

Declarer has five losers: two hearts, two diamonds and one club.

He has only eight winners: five spades, two diamonds and one club.

But he can ruff two diamonds on the board.

South cashes the spade ace and queen, plays a diamond to dummy’s king, returns the diamond nine to his ace, ruffs a diamond with the spade 10, plays a club to his ace, trumps the last diamond with the spade king, and claims two of the last three tricks with his high trumps.

BOYS TENNIS SEASON PREVIEW

Jacobs is FVC favorite

Four of five state qualifiers return for Golden Eagles

By MIKE DeFABO

mdefabo@shawmedia.com

O

ver the past several years, the Prairie Ridge boys tennis team has built a reputation for itself. CaryGrove coach Amanda Schuetzle called the program “a powerhouse.” Jacobs coach Jon Betts used the word “dominant.”

This year, the reigning Fox Valley Conference champions return two of their four state qualifiers in senior Hayden Dzurisin and sophomore Patrick Nasta. Again, Prairie Ridge looks to be one of the favorites to win the FVC tournament at the season’s end.

But not the favorite. Even Prairie Ridge coach Jim Benson admits that distinction belongs to another program.

“Jacobs is the team to beat,” Benson said.

Jacobs’ 17th-place finish at state last season was its best in school history. The Golden Eagles graduated just three players from that team – its second singles player, half of No. 1 doubles and half of No. 4 doubles.

With the Golden Eagles returning four of their five state qualifiers in Kailash Panchapakesan, Riley Rowan and brothers Kendrick and Kerwin Chong, their

experience and depth could help push Jacobs over the edge and help them beat Prairie Ridge for the first time in school history.

“The past three seasons, we’ve lost 3-4 in a best of seven,” Panchapakesan said “This is the year we really want to capture it, especially us three (Rowan and Kendrick Chong) because it’s our senior year. It’s now or never.”

The Golden Eagles will find their strength from the four returning state qualifiers.

“Those are four guys who could conceivably play No. 1 singles at most schools in the state,” Jacobs coach Jon Betts said. “They are that good. It’s pretty good in our area to have that much talent all at once. They might be four of the best players Jacobs ever had, period. And they’re here all at the same time.”

If Jacobs is the team to beat, Panchapakesan remains the player to beat in the FVC. The senior and two-time Northwest Herald Boys Tennis Player of the Year enters his final season with just one conference loss throughout his entire three-year high school career.

“He’s already put himself in the talk of the best player to play at Jacobs ever,” Betts said. “He’s exceptionally talented.

He’s probably one of the smartest players I’ve seen on a tennis court ever. From what we’ve seen even this early in the season, he’s playing his best tennis. I’m really excited to see what he does in conference and at the state level.”

Behind Panchapakesan, Rowan is projected to start at No. 2 singles. After qualifying for the state tournament last season in double, Rowan lost his partner.

This year, as a senior, he’ll try to qualify for state in singles.

In addition to having the area’s top singles player, the Golden Eagles could also have one of the best doubles teams.

Kendrick Chong qualified for the state tournament in singles his sophomore season but transitioned over to doubles so he could play with his brother, Kerwin.

The brothers continued to develop as the season progressed, and are expected to make another run at state this year.

With all of the pieces coming together, the Golden Eagles have the talent and experience to improve upon what was its best season ever.

“I’d say that we’re going to come into this year as strong as ever,” Kendrick Chong said. “We’re going to be able to accomplish as many goals as we put ourselves to.”

Hayden Dzurisin, Prairie Ridge, Sr. Dzurisin placed second behind Panchapakesan in the Fox Valley Conference tournament in No. 1 singles. He took second at the Cary-Grove Sectional to qualify for state for a second time.

Patrick Nasta, Prairie Ridge, Soph.

Nasta won the FVC tournament in No. 2 singles and qualified for state with a third-place finish at the CaryGrove Sectional.

Ian Brzeski, Marian Central, soph.

Marian Central’s Ian Brzeski finished in third place in No. 2 singles at the East Suburban Catholic Conference tournament.

He emerged as one of the top players in the ESCC as a freshman.

DOUBLES

Kendrick Chong/Kerwin Chong, Jacobs, sr./soph.

The Chong brothers were undefeated in the FVC at No. 2 doubles and won the Huntley Sectional. At state, they went 3-2 and advanced to the fourth consolation round.

The better players that we have in our program have returned upgraded.”

Woodstock Coach: Jessie Justice (sixth season) Last year: 4-13 Top returners: Kevin Londrie (sr.), Tim

Woodstock North Coach: Judy Roller (second season) Top returners: Junior Brandon Langreck is stepping in to play No. 1 singles.

Key newcomers: Freshman Jackson Emmons is projected to play No. 2 singles.

Worth noting: The Thunder brought up several sophomores last season to fill out the varsity roster. Coach Judy Roller is hopeful that experience will help the team this season. The beefed-up lineup features 19 players this year. “It gives them a lot of competition,” Roller said. “It gives me a chance if someone is working harder I can move them up. They have to really earn their spots.”

Valley Division Jacobs Coach: Jon Betts (11th season) Last year: 19-8, division champion, sectional champion, 17th in state Top returners: Kailash Panchapakesan (sr.), Riley Rowan (sr.), Kendrick Chong (sr.), Kerwin Chong (so.), Patrick Murphy (jr.), Jacob Moser (jr.), Matthew Kastritis (jr.), Michael Bujacz (sr.)

This includes twotime Northwest Herald Boys Tennis Player of the Year Kailash Panchapakesan, who hasn’t lost a Fox Valley Conference match in two seasons. Brothers Kendrick and Kerwin Chong return to play doubles together for one more season. After losing his double partner, Riley Rowan will try to qualify for state as a singles player this season.

who played No. 3 double last season, will likely move into the No. 1 singles role. “We were kind of spoiled last year because we had a lot of returners that as juniors played at the top of the lineup and then came back at their same positions,” coach Amanda Schuetzle said. “This year, it’s not so much the case. We have a lot of returning players, but they’re moving from the bottom of the lineup to the top.”

Sneh Shah (fr.)

Worth noting: First-year coach Cally Genson said she is eager to help develop the D-C tennis program. “With the changing of the coaching staff, this team has shown incredible flexibility and patience,” Genson said. “The program is continuing to build and expand. We are working to improve our record and experience success on and off the court.”

Huntley Coach: Barry Wells (11th season) Last year: 16-5 Top returners: Jack Soderwall (so.), Charlie Burian (jr.), Keaton Newsome (jr.), Ben Cazel (sr.)

Worth noting: Huntley will have to reload after graduating seven players from last year’s team, including its top two doubles teams and its top two singles players. Huntley coach Barry Wells is counting on the depth of last year’s team to help ease that transition. He said there should be plenty of opportunities for young players to step into new roles.

PR grad Barton Division II All-America swimmer ON CAMPUS Barry Bottino After Marisa Barton swam the fastest 50-meter freestyle race of her career – winning a Sunshine State Conference title last month in a sizzling school-record time of 23.03 seconds – she didn’t spend much time celebrating.

Instead, the junior at NCAA Division II University of Tampa couldn’t wait to get back in the pool.

At last week’s NCAA championships in Indianapolis, Barton’s work paid major dividends with a time of 22.88 in the preliminaries, the nation’s third-fastest time all season.

“When I first looked up at the board, it was really far away and I couldn’t see exactly what my time was,” Barton said. “I noticed the first two numbers were the same, and I just knew it was a 22. Finally! I was just so relieved. Then I saw my coaches on the side jumping up and down.”

Really?

Police in Ohio said an Akron football player who entered a former teammate’s apartment unannounced was been mistaken for a burglar and was shot in the stomach. Authorities won’t file charges because both men agreed it was an accident. The shooting happened Saturday at an off-campus house in Akron where the men have apartments. Police said Andrew Pratt entered Scott Boyett’s apartment without knocking or announcing himself and Boyett shot him. Police said Boyett drove Pratt to a hospital. Pratt remained hospitalized Sunday. He’s expected to recover.

Trouble ahead?

Jon Lester has been pitching with a bone chip in his pitching elbow, and the Cubs knew about it before signing him to a sixyear deal, according to Yahoo! Sports.

Lester called the chip a “nonissue,” according to the Chicago Sun-Times, but acknowledged he would need surgery if the chip moves.

Lester pitched in 205 innings last season.

Jon Lester “I know for a fact it has been there for awhile,” Lester said after the Cubs 5-2 win over the Royals on Sunday. “It is what it is. You can take any pitcher in this game that has pitched as long as I have and you stick him in a tube (for MRI) you are going to find something.”

SPORTS BRIEFS

McHenry baseball sweeps Joliet

The McHenry baseball team swept Joliet Junior College in a doubleheader Sunday in Joliet.

McHenry claimed an 11-1 victory in the opener before beating Joliet, 7-0, in the nightcap to improve to 7-5 on the season.

Andrew Reisinger (3-0) struck out nine and walked one while allowing seven hits in his complete-game victory in Game 1.

Matt Tegtmeier went 3 for 4 with three RBIs, three runs and two triples, while Owen Oreskovich finished 3 for 4 with an RBI and a double. Austin Butts followed with a 3-for-5 effort with a triple and a run.

Jack Granath scored his first victory of the season on the mound in Game 2, striking out 11 while walking one in his complete-game win. Justin Blasinski went 1 for 2 with three RBIs and a double, and Cullen Mayhew was 1 for 3 with a two-run home run, which came in the fourth inning.

Johnson gets past Harvick in OT to win at Fontana

FONTANA, Calif. – Jimmie Johnson somehow saved his fastest lap for last, and Southern California’s favorite racing son soared to another historic victory.

Johnson pulled away in overtime Sunday to beat Kevin Harvick for his record sixth NASCAR Sprint Cup Series win at Fontana.

With his 77th career victory, Johnson passed Dale Earnhardt for seventh place in NASCAR annals. And he did it in style: Johnson was third on the late restart, but he surged past leader Denny Hamlin while giving a little bump to Harvick before side-drafting and pulling away.

After showcasing his famed skills to snare another landmark win, the 40-yearold Johnson got a bit reflective when asked about his place in the sport.

Johnson finished with his fastest lap of the race to claim his second overtime win of the young season, adding Fontana to Atlanta.

Day’s wild ride ends with a Bay Hill victory

ORLANDO, Fla. – Arnold Palmer watched him. Tiger Woods was texting him.

Jason Day, his ball in a bunker on the 18th hole, was only thinking about how to navigate nearly 100 feet in two shots Sunday to get the par he needed to win the Arnold Palmer Invitational.

Out of sorts with his swing all afternoon, Day delivered his best at the end.

The bunker shot came out just as he pictured, and Day made the 4-foot par putt to close with a 2-under 70 and outlast Kevin Chappell for his first win of the year.

There was a four-man sprint over the final two hours at Bay Hill, and it was all about who made the fewest mistakes.

Day got his out of the way early. He lost a two-shot lead on the front nine, recovered with a 9-iron out of the rough and over a bunker to a foot on the ninth hole for birdie, and then produced two clutch shots at the end.

6 NCAA TOURNAMENT ROUNDUP

Half-dozen ACC teams in Sweet 16 The ASSOCIATED PRESS

Upset in the NCAA Tournament the past couple of years, No. 2 seed Villanova and its seniors made it to the Sweet 16 for the first time since 2009 and won’t have to listen to talk of not making it to the second weekend.

Syracuse also silenced some doubters, and became one of a half-dozen ACC teams to make it to the round of 16.

But the best came in the night contests. Texas A&M roared back from 10 points down in the last 30 seconds to force overtime and won it over Northern Illinois in a second extra period.

And Wisconsin nailed a buzzer-beating 3 to survive and advance.

A look at those moving on:

EAST REGION Notre Dame 76, Stephen F. Austin 75:

At New York, Rex Plfueger tapped in a miss with 1.5 seconds left and Notre Dame survived a valiant effort by Stephen F. Austin to reach the Sweet 16 for the second consecutive season.

With 17.5 seconds left, Notre Dame grabbed an SFA rebound down one and put it in the hands of Demetrius Jackson. The point guard drove to the basket and missed. Zach Auguste followed for the Irish (22-12) but could not convert. The ball slipped off the rim and with one hand Pflueger flipped it in for his only basket of the game.

Wisconsin 66, Xavier 63: At St. Louis, Bronson Koenig hit two 3-pointers in the closing seconds, the last of them as the buzzer sounded, and Wisconsin edged Xavier.

The talented sharpshooter who failed to hit from beyond the arc in a first-round win over Pittsburgh connected from well beyond the 3-point line to tie it at 63 with 11.7 seconds remaining.

SOUTH REGION Villanova 87, Iowa 68: At New York,

Josh Hart scored 19 points and second-seeded Villanova advanced to the Sweet 16 for the first time since 2009 with a rout of Iowa.

Villanova’s senior class, led by Ryan Arcidiacono and Daniel Ochefu, made it to the tournament’s second weekend for the first time. They were upset in the round of 32 the last two seasons and didn’t make it that far as freshmen.

Maryland 73, Hawaii 60: At Spokane, Washington, Melo Trimble scored 24 points and grabbed eight rebounds as Maryland beat Hawaii.

Diamond Stone added 14 points for Maryland (27-8), which advanced to the round of 16 for the eighth time in the

past 22 years.

onds remaining in regulation to come WEST REGION Oklahoma 85, VCU 81: At Oklahoma back for a double-overtime victory

of Syracuse ground Middle Tennessee State’s magical March ride to a halt, and the Orange beat the Blue Raiders.

Michael Gbinije poured in 23 points, Tyler Lydon added 14 and the Orange (21-13) used a 21-2 charge midway through the second half to crack open a close game and join five other ACC schools in advancing to the third round of the NCAA Tournament.

Hield, who didn’t score for more than 10 minutes to start the game, made 9 of 12 shots in the second half after going 2 for 8 in the first. The senior guard posted at least 30 points for the 11th time this season.

Texas A&M 92, Northern Iowa 88 (2OT):

At Oklahoma City, Alex Caruso scored 25 points as Texas A&M overcame a 10-point deficit with less than 30 sec-

history, the first since 2007.

Oregon 69, Saint Joseph’s 64: At Spokane, Washington, Dillon Brooks refused to let top-seed Oregon and the Pac-12 Conference be eliminated on the first weekend of the NCAA tournament, scoring 25 points and leading the Ducks to win over Saint Joseph’s.

The Ducks matched a school record with its 30th victory.

Crean finally gets respect at Indiana – for now

Tom Crean is the kind of coach you like only when he’s your coach and, even then, only when your team is winning.

He works every Indiana possession as if the planet’s fate hangs in the balance. He walks and talks the sidelines like a carnival barker. I’m guessing 4 miles a game and enough words for a Stephen King novel.

The only thing more exhausting than being Crean is playing for him.

How his charges can concentrate on the task at hand with their coach’s constant yelling is hard to fathom.

Studying for a final with heavy metal blaring from the radio comes to mind.

But guess what? It works. Crean’s team surprised most people by winning the Big Ten regular-season title.

On Saturday, Indiana beat state-line rival Kentucky to advance to the Sweet 16. Will it last? Depends on whom you ask.

Lots of people have a once-loved/ now-hate relationship with him.

He was loved at Marquette for getting his 2002-03 team, which included a guy named Dwyane Wade, to the Final Four, and then hated for jumping ship and going to Indiana five years later.

Even though Michigan State had won the Big Ten tournament, I had a vague sense that this was a team with one good player in Denzel Valentine and a dropoff in talent after that.

8 WHITE SOX

Reinsdorf ends probe, backs Williams

By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN dvanschouwen@suntimes.com

GLENDALE, Ariz. – Saying he has “complete faith” in vice president Ken Williams, general manager Rick Hahn and manager Robin Ventura, White Sox chairman Jerry Reinsdorf has concluded an internal investigation into the Adam LaRoche fiasco Sunday, releasing a statement admitting the Sox handled it poorly and ordering Sox employees to say no more about it.

Quick background if you’ve been living under a rock or on cruise ship with no Internet access: Upon being told by Williams to scale back on the time his son Drake spends with the team, LaRoche, 36, abruptly told teammates he was retiring, prompting teammates to rally behind him by threatening to boycott games. Ace pitcher Chris Sale accused Williams, who dropped in on the LaRoche team meeting, of lying about the reasons why he asked to see less of Drake, 14.

Reinsdorf issued a statement Friday saying he would look into what happened, and on Sunday said “much of this was a result of miscommunication and misunderstanding rather than this being a case of anyone not telling the truth.”

Here is Reinsdorf’s statement: “I have taken the past few days to per-

Sands hits pair of homers as White Sox beat A’s

MESA, Ariz. – Jerry Sands hit a pair of homers and drove in three runs to lead the White Sox past the Oakland Athletics, 6-2, on Sunday.

Jimmy Rollins and Carlos Sanchez also drove in runs for the Sox. Matt Davidson had three hits, and Steve Lombardozzi added two.

Jacob Turner threw two innings as he looks to catch on with the Sox, who picked him up off waivers from the Cubs.

– Wire report sonally meet with everyone involved, including Adam LaRoche, members of our front office, uniformed staff and some of our active players. I continue to have nothing but the greatest regard for Adam – in fact, my respect for him has grown during this process – and I applaud his desire to spend more time with his family.

“I continue to have complete faith in the skills and abilities of the leadership group of our baseball operations department in Ken Williams, Rick Hahn and Robin Ventura. I also appreciate the passion and commitment to one another shown by our players, Robin, our coach-

ing staff and our front office. As with many things in life, much of this was a result of miscommunication and misunderstanding rather than this being a case of anyone not telling the truth. I do not believe there is anyone to directly blame in this situation. While there is no doubt this might have been handled differently, the fact remains that this is an internal matter that we have discussed and now resolved.

“Per my request, White Sox employees will no longer discuss this matter publicly. I felt it was appropriate to release this statement to close the issue for everyone in the organization – from the front office to the players in the clubhouse – so we can focus on Opening Day and winning baseball games for our fans.

I am fully confident this matter will soon be behind us and that we will grow even stronger and more united as a team and as an organization.”

Sale, who Friday said players were “lied to” by Williams, said Saturday it was time to put the issue in the past and move on.

Reinsdorf met with team leaders, including Sale, Friday. He met with some individually. One player, before Reinsdorf issued his statement, described the discussions as “very productive.”

“We’ve already moved on,” Ventura said Sunday. “We’re already in that di-

rection.”

The Sox clubhouse, which was up in arms a couple days earlier because of LaRoche’s leaving and the circumstances surrounding it – the players threatened to boycott Wednesday’s Cactus League game – Sunday morning was lively and upbeat. Ventura passed through and mixed it up with Brett Lawrie and Carlos Sanchez, clowning around with a soccer ball.

Sox players said there is no concern of the LaRoche situation creating a divide in the clubhouse.

“You can look around,” outfielder Adam Eaton said, pointing to various places in the clubhouse at Camelback Ranch. “Conversation, conversation, conversation, guys playing cards, guys in here hanging out, guys playing soccer.

You can look around in here and see that there is nothing here that is of any concern at all.

“Last year, you would come in here and it would be a morgue. Guys just on their phones and it’s quiet because the meeting is going to start in 15 minutes.

Now, we have to be calmed down because the meeting is going to start.

“There’s never been a wall in hall in here. That’s all created through media.

And as soon as the media lets it go, that’s when it’s going to be gone. It’s in our past already.”

CUBS

Baez makes return to lineup after jamming thumb

By GORDON WITTENMYER gwittenmyer@suntimes.com

GOODYEAR, Ariz. – Cubs slugger Javy Baez was back in the lineup Saturday against the Indians for the first time since jamming his thumb sliding head first into first base Wednesday, starting in center field.

Baez, who said the thumb was never bad enough to keep him from playing (although the club chose to be cautious), handled Michael Brantley’s drive to the warning track in the first, made an even tougher catch over his shoulder at the wall on Yan Gomes’ drive in the fourth, and in between threw out Will Venable trying to stretch a single in the second.

The most significant part of the whole thing was probably the reminder he got from staff and the incident itself about the perils of sliding into first – or anywhere else head first.

“I know it’s not a good thing for any hitter. You will hurt yourself probably 60 percent of the time when

Addison Russell singled twice in three at-bats against Kluber, and Kris Bryant doubled in the second and singled home a run in the third against the Indians’ ace.

Other injury updates: Outfielder Matt Szczur (oblique) could be on a similar schedule as La Stella after playing in the same game Saturday.

Szczur was sidelined three weeks.

Veteran outfield Shane Victorino, a potentially key bench candidate, remains at least several days away from returning from a sore calf that has kept him sidelined the past two weeks.

But Maddon said the former AllStar and four-time Gold Glove winner doesn’t need a lot of game time or to prove much.

“We know what he’s capable of doing,” Maddon said. “So all I’m looking at with him is good health.”

MINNESOTA 3, BLACKHAWKS 2 (SO)

Wild beat Hawks in shootout

By MATT CARLSON The Associated Press

CHICAGO – Charlie Coyle scored the only goal in the shootout to lift the Minnesota Wild to a 3-2 victory over the Blackhawks on Sunday.

Coyle, Minnesota’s first shooter, beat the Hawks’ Scott Darling a night after he and Zach Parise scored in the tiebreaker in a home win over Carolina.

Nino Niederreiter had his 18th goal and added an assist, and Eric Haula also scored in regulation as the Wild improved to 4-0 against the Hawks this season. Devan Dubnyk stopped 29 shots through overtime and then was perfect in the shootout against the Hawks’ Jonathan Toews, Patrick Kane and Artemi Panarin.

Andrew Shaw scored his 12th goal to end an 11-game drought and linemate Richard Panik connected to end a 14-game streak without a goal to bring the Hawks back from a 2-0 deficit.

Darling made his third straight start and finished with 32 saves, including several point-blank stops, as Hawks No. 1 goalie Corey Crawford remained sidelined day-to-day with an upper-body injury.

Kane, the NHL’s leading scorer, got up slowly after colliding with Minnesota’s Matt Dumba at the Wild blue line early in the third, but returned minutes later.

The Hawks outshot Minnesota, 13-7, in the scoreless first but generated almost nothing during a 4-minute power play early in the period, set up by Zach Parise’s double-minor for high-sticking Michal Rozsival.

The pace picked up late in the period, spurred by a high-energy shift by the Hawks’ fourth line of Shaw, Panik and Andrew Desjardins. Dubnyk made a point-blank save on Desjardins with 3:08 left to keep it scoreless.

Minnesota jumped out to a 2-0 lead early in the second on goals by Haula and Niederreiter.

Haula opened the scoring at 50 seconds on a shot from between the circles after taking Justin Fontaine’s deflected centering pass.

Niederreiter outmuscled the Hawks’ Marian Hossa and wrapped in a rebound of Jordan Schroeder’s shot at 7:04, just 9 seconds after the Hawks killed Hossa’s tripping penalty.

Shaw cut it to 2-1 just 1:34 later following a nice move as he drove into the slot from the right boards.

Scoreboard watching is alive and well for the Bulls these days.

“We know that if we get into the playoffs we feel like we can do some damage, and I think we’re fighting for a lot right now,’’ forward Doug McDermott said.

With just 14 regular-season games left, including eight on the road, the Bulls haven’t actually made it easy for themselves.

Unless Charlotte or Boston have complete meltdowns, the bottom of the East is basically four teams fighting for the final two spots. Indiana holds the No. 7 right now, while the Bulls and Pistons are tied for the No. 8 and final spot.

Washington has won four straight to be close enough to make it interesting.

“This week is huge for us,’’ McDermott said. “There’s some winnable games on the schedule. Whoever comes out with the most energy at this point of the season usually wins. That’s been the big point of emphasis lately.’’

The hope for the Bulls is that message hasn’t been received too late.
