TAX DISTRICTS MUST PAY

317 POUNDS OF POT IN VAN

Several McHenry County taxing bodies were overpaid a collective $1.3 million because of a state misallocation of Personal Property Replacement Tax Fund dollars, the Illinois Department of Revenue announced in a news release Wednesday. Story, page A6.

SCHOOL FUNDING PUSH

Educators Wednesday amped up the pressure on Illinois leaders for more school and university funding with protests in Springfield and fierce criticism of Gov. Bruce Rauner by the head of the Chicago Teachers Union.

They called for support of a proposal to replace Illinois’ flat income tax with one to make the wealthiest residents pay more.

WARWICK, R.I. – Police said a Philadelphia man was found with 317 pounds of marijuana in his minivan during a traffic stop in Rhode Island.

State police said Wednesday that Jian Zhi Li, 44, is charged with possession of marijuana with intent to deliver and related crimes.

Police said an officer pulled over Li’s minivan just before midnight Monday in Warwick for a traffic stop. They said the officer detected the odor of marijuana coming from inside the vehicle. A search turned up 327 vacuum-sealed plastic bundles of marijuana packaged in 12 cardboard boxes in the minivan’s rear.

Li was ordered held without bail at his arraignment Tuesday.

FORMING A FAMILIAL BOND McHenry County police dogs offered home with handlers after retirement

By JORDYN REILAND

jreiland@shawmedia.com Rocky is a trained K-9 by day and McHenry County Sheriff’s Deputy Paul Cosman’s fourlegged best friend by night.

Currently, Rocky is one of three trained K-9s working in the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office.

The German shepherd is trained to track and sniff out narcotics, search for cadavers and protect his handler.

The K-9 program has existed in the department since the early 1990s. Once a dog is trained and acquainted with its handler, most law enforcement agencies expect to work with that dog for eight to 10 years.

Once a K-9 is no longer deemed fit to work on the job, one question remains: Where will the dog go? Some K-9s stay with their handler, while others are sent to animal shelters or taken in by another department employee.

Two Illinois legislators are hoping to provide that question with an easy answer.

Illinois Sens. Thomas Cullerton, D-Villa Park, and Jacqueline Y. Collins, D-Chicago, proposed Senate Bill 3129, which would allow a police dog that is deemed no longer fit for public service to be offered by the law enforcement agency to the

officer. Proposed in February, the Police Dog Retirement Act says that if the officer does not wish to keep the dog, it may be offered to another employee in the agency, to a nonprofit organization or to a no-kill animal shelter.

A similar bill, House Bill 6031, also was proposed and passed unanimously in the Illinois House by Rep. Sue Scherer, D-Decatur.

The McHenry County Sheriff’s Office is one of several departments with this proposed policy in place.

Rocky – after working within the department for nearly eight years – is expected to retire this fall, and Deputy Cosman said there is no question when asked whether he wanted to take ownership of the dog.

“Rocky is just like a normal family pet, but he knows when I put on my uniform or grab my keys it’s time to go to work,” Cosman said.

The sheriff’s office will transfer ownership to Cosman by selling the dog to him for $1 – an action that also transfers the liability from the department to the officer.

Cosman first applied for the program because of his love for dogs, and he will be one of the first deputies in the sheriff’s office to receive another

McHenry County Sheriff’s K-9 Deputy Paul Cosman rewards his partner, Rocky, with reward play Tuesday.

Rocky has been with the department nearly eight years. There is a bill in Illinois that would give K-9 officers the option to keep their retired partners. Right now, most of the decisions on whether the K-9 is allowed to stay with its owner when the dog retires are left up to the respective sheriff’s office or police department.

McHenry County settles union lawsuit over ‘Turnaround Agenda’ vote for $25K

By KATIE DAHLSTROM

kdahlstrom@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – The McHenry County Board on Tuesday pulled its symbolic support of Gov. Bruce Rauner’s effort to turn Illinois around in order to settle a lawsuit prompted by the board’s support of the governor’s agenda.

The County Board’s 18-4 vote rescinded its nonbinding 2015 resolution backing Rauner’s “Turnaround Agenda” in exchange for the International Union of Operating Engineers Local 150 dropping its lawsuit alleging board members who met with Rauner before the vote violated the Illinois Open Meetings Act. Although the County Board admitted no wrongdoing in the resolution, the settlement includes paying $25,000 to cover Local 150’s legal fees.

The union represents county government building maintenance workers and McHenry County Division of Transportation drivers. Local 150 issued a statement after the vote calling the effort to get McHenry County to support

Rauner’s agenda an “abject failure.”

“The people of McHenry County will never know what their elected board members said in that closed meeting, but today they rid themselves of Gov. Rauner’s anti-worker, anti-middle class political agenda,” Local 150 president-business manager James Sweeney said.

County Board Chairman Joe Gottemoller, R-Crystal Lake, said Wednesday he voted in favor of the settlement to avoid a trial and the subsequent appeals that could take the case to the Illinois Supreme Court and leave the county on the hook for Local 150’s legal expenses.

“You understand you’re risking $1 million in attorney fees,” Gottemoller said. “I’m not willing to risk that much of taxpayer money just to prove I’m right.”

He added that McHenry County was the only county in the state to adopt the agenda, which he said appears to have become an afterthought, even for Rauner.

The union filed the lawsuit April 17, 2015, about a week after the County Board

voted to approve a resolution backing Rauner’s agenda to reverse Illinois’ economic straits. Among other measures, the Turnaround Agenda sought to limit collective bargaining laws.

Local 150 alleged that enough board members attended an April 8, 2015, event with Rauner at the Woodstock Opera House to constitute an open meeting under state law, which requires 48 hours advance public notice. The lawsuit alleges that no such notice was given, and contends that union members were illegally barred from attending the event.

The County Board voted the next day, 16-5, to approve the nonbinding resolution after 90 minutes of opposition during public comment from a standing room-only audience of union members.

The board members who voted against the settlement were Michael Skala, R-Huntley; Charles Wheeler, R-McHenry; Diane Evertsen, R-Harvard; and Andrew Gasser, R-Fox River Grove.

Members Tina Hill, R-Woodstock, and Robert Nowak, R-Lake in the Hills, were absent.

Huntley library gets STEM programming for adults grant NORTHWEST HERALD HUNTLEY – The Huntley Area Public Library has received a $3,500 National Science Foundation grant from the Califa Library Group to provide science-based programs for adults, the library announced in a news release.

STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) and STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math)

are popular topics for children’s education, but less commonly mentioned in relation to adults.

“There is often a disconnect in people’s minds about the place of science and math in our lives. But in fact, we’re all scientists,” library Director Frank Novak said in the release. “We use math and chemistry when cooking, farmers use engineering on their combines, and artists use science when creating art. We’re not just surround-

ed by science, we’re all doing science.”

The programs funded by the grant are essentially “book club meets science café,” Novak said. Attendees will read a preannounced popular book selection, visit the library for an event in which they discuss the book, and then watch and discuss a short human interest video where scientific ideas touched on in the book intersect with everyday life, according to the news release.

McHenry County taxing bodies overpaid $1.3 million by state

By ALLISON GOODRICH

agoodrich@shawmedia.com Several McHenry County taxing bodies were overpaid a collective $1.3 million because of a state misallocation of Personal Property Replacement Tax Fund dollars, the Illinois Department of Revenue announced in a news release Wednesday.

Among the most heavily affected entities – overpaid more than $100,000 – are Community High School District 155, Crystal Lake Elementary School District 47, Woodstock Community High School District 200 and McHenry County. More than 100 other taxing bodies were overpaid amounts ranging from $10 to tens of thousands, according to state data.

District 155 was overpaid $158,697; District 47 was overpaid $105,893; District 200 received $101,056; and McHenry County received $103,872.60 in overpayments.

In 2014, the amount of Personal Property Replacement Tax revenue totaled $1.37 billion, and in 2015, that amount was $1.43 billion.

State officials said statutory changes made under the prior administration to tax Form IL-1000 and revisions to

Forms IL-1065 and IL-1120-ST caused the misallocation of personal property replacement taxes. Those dollars are revenues collected by the state and paid to local governments to replace funds that were lost when taxing bodies’ ability to impose personal property taxes on corporations, partnerships and other business entities was abolished in the 1970 Constitution.

The misallocation was uncovered during the Department of Revenue’s implementation of a new general ledger system, according to the news release.

District 200 Chief Financial Officer Risa Hanson in an email said a majority of the revenues from the Personal Property Replacement Tax Fund are used in District 200’s operations and maintenance fund. She said her hope is the overpayments could be repaid over time to minimize the effect on the district.

“The Operations and Maintenance Fund would have to reduce expenditures for repairs and maintenance or for equipment replacement,” Hanson wrote.

Recollecting the money over an extended period of time seems to be the state’s plan, based on statements from Illinois Department of Revenue Director Connie Beard.

“We are certainly sensitive to the impact recouping these funds will have on some of our taxing districts,” Beard said in the release. “We will be working with the impacted taxing districts to establish a plan to recapture the funds over an extended period of time.”

McHenry County Administrator Peter Austin said it was disheartening to learn of the state’s mistake, but said it could have been worse.

Considering the county’s total budget, Austin said the loss of $100,000 isn’t as dramatic as what it could be for smaller taxing bodies.

“We’re kind of at the halfway point of our fiscal year, and we’re checking in with where we are with revenues right now. ... When you see sales tax numbers and income tax numbers, $100,000 is something we ought to be able to recover from,” he said. “But it’s disappointing nonetheless.”

About 6,500 taxing bodies are affected by the collective misallocation, which began in 2014 and resulted in a collective overpayment of about $168 million, state officials said. For 5,291 of those entities, the individual taxing district’s total overpayment amounts to less than $10,000. But 10 districts received overpayments of $1 million or more.

HUNTLEY

New owner: Huntley mall has great potential

By CAITLIN SWIECA

cswieca@shawmedia.com HUNTLEY – Rich Turasky was already quite familiar with the Huntley Outlet Center when it went on the market last year.

Turasky, the founder and president of The Capital Companies LLC in Elgin, has a history with Huntley dating back 25 years, when he trained for his pilot’s license at Huntley’s private airspace during college.

The Lake in the Hills resident knows the area well, and he feels the outlet center near the intersection of Interstate 90 and Route 47 has great potential.

“I think, arguably, that it’s one of the best situated 77 acres at a full four-way interchange [near] Chicago,” he said.

Turasky brought together a group including Chicago’s Prime Group Inc. and California-based Craig Realty Group that bought the mall from Simon Property Group last week.

Prime Group Inc., owned by Turasky’s longtime acquaintance Mike Reshcke, originally developed the property in 1994 before selling it.

Village Manager Dave Johnson said the outlet mall is less than half occupied, but Turasky said he feels that is a result of the economic recession.

In a news release about the acquisition, Turasky pointed to several recent improvements to roads near the mall, including the 2011 widening of Route 47, the 2013 opening of a four-way interchange with the tollway and the ongoing widening of I-90.

Those changes were just part of what interested the group, he said. The release also noted the nearby 5,000-home Sun City community and Weber-Stephen’s in-progress distribution center.

“It was the combination of the economy picking up and them getting a full four-way interchange at I-90,” Turasky said. “Huntley seems to be very pro-business. I think those are really

the factors that certainly intrigued our interest.”

Turasky said the group’s first order of business would be to make sure its current tenants – including GAP, Reebok, Eddie Bauer and Banana Republic – are happy.

The group had been focused on finishing the sale and has not had much time to extensively study the site or decide on its specific long-term plan, he said.

Turasky said the plan is to meet with village officials soon to gain input on their vision for the property. Other uses, such as a hotel or industrial use, previously had been discussed.

While a recent report on the site from Gruen Gruen & Associates said the center was at a competitive disadvantage because of a lack of frontage on Route 47, Turasky said he didn’t see that as an issue.

“I don’t think the frontage on 47 is as important as the frontage on 90,” he said. “In retail, it’s all about car count.”

CARY – Fire officials are investigating a structure fire in Cary that left the two-story home charred, heavily damaged and uninhabitable, officials said Wednesday.

The Cary Fire Protection District responded about 3:11 p.m. to 125 Mary Lane for a reported fire, Lt. Michael Douglass said.

The first crew arrived to find flames coming from the garage, from the front windows above the garage, as well as from the back windows, Douglass said, adding that firefighters first fought the fire from outside, and then moved inside and established there were no people in the house.

He described heavy damage, which could be seen in the charred window frames, and said the home potentially could be a total loss depending on further inspection.

Cary police Patrol Officer Chad Fetzer was unsure whether those who lived in the home had been notified as of Wednesday afternoon, but said it appeared that “nobody has been staying here for a while.”

At the scene, Douglass said he did not yet have damage estimates, and he said the cause of the fire is under investigation.

Fire agencies from Fox River Grove, Algonquin and Barrington also were called to the scene to assist.

BARRINGTON – After narrowly winning in the three-way Republican primary race last month, Dan McConchie was appointed Wednesday to be the new state senator for Illinois’ 26th Senate District.

McConchie, of Hawthorn Woods, was sworn in by Lake County Judge Daniel Shanes before vowing to fight for those who feel left out of the process in Springfield, according to a news release from the Illinois Senate.

“Far too long our politicians have ignored the people and simply done whatever benefited them and the special interests who support them,” McConchie stated in the release. “This has to come to an end.”

McConchie won the primary race against Casey Urlacher and Martin McLaughlin, and as of now, has no Democratic opponent in November’s general election.

With the appointment, McConchie fills the seat of former Republican Sen.

the race.

McConchie served eight years in the Army National Guard as both an infantryman and a military policeman before a 2007 crash with a hit-and-run driver caused him to now use a wheelchair.

“I am excited to drive down to Springfield first thing [Thursday] morning to join those other reform-minded legislators who are actively working to return power back to the people and get our state on the right track again,” he said in the release.

• K-9

Continued from page A3 K-9 after Rocky’s retirement.

When a handler assumes responsibility of a K-9, it’s no longer just part of the job. The dog becomes part of the family, said Sgt. Dan Patenaude, a K-9 supervisor.

“They’re not just a pet for any of us, they are a family member,” Patenaude said. “(Taking the dog away) would be like your child turning 12 years old and saying, ‘Alright, he’s going somewhere else.’ ” Officers don’t often receive a second K-9 because the opportunity can be rare and the department wants to present that option to others who may be interested.

“You see (the dog) more than you see your family,” Cosman said, adding that the maintenance training he undergoes with Rocky takes up a good chunk of his daily life.

The Crystal Lake Police Department first started its K-9 program in 2004. The program has had two K-9s since its implementation.

“The handler and K-9 have a close relationship due to the amount of time spent together,” said Tom Kotlowski, Crystal Lake police deputy chief of operations. “The K-9 resides with the handler, which allows them more time together.”

Similarly to other county law enforcement agencies, each handler must complete an eight-week training session and additional ongoing maintenance training each month. The police department also implements a $1 fee to the handler if they are interested in buying the dog upon retirement.

McHenry police Officer Larry Popp has worked as a K-9 handler for almost 10 years and couldn’t imagine doing anything else. Popp currently works with a 5-year-old German shepherd, Duke.

“It’s a bond I can’t even really put into words,” he said of his relationship with Duke.

Popp said from the very beginning Duke has felt more like a member of his family than a strictly work relationship.

“Ever since I was handed that leash it was like a match made in heaven,” he said.

Popp said he’s grateful the department has a policy that allows officers to keep their K-9s if they so choose because he couldn’t imagine not having Duke by his side.

McHenry Police Cmdr. Tom Walsh said the department understands the bond the officer forms with his or her K-9, so the decision to allow the officer to keep the dog is a relatively easy one.

“It’s no different than a human partner,” Walsh said. “You become close to your dog.”

OBITUARIES NORMA C. ANDERSON

Born: Nov. 10, 1923; in Greenwood Township Died: April 18, 2016; in Woodstock, IL Norma Charlotte (Doolittle) Anderson, 92, of Woodstock, passed away Monday, April 18, 2016, at her home in Woodstock.

She was born in Greenwood Township on Nov. 10, 1923, the daughter of Emor Stillman and Amelia (Schroeder) Doolittle. She had been a lifelong resident of Greenwood and Woodstock. Her favorite saying was “once of Greenwood, always of Greenwood.”

She and Glenn “Andy” Elliot Anderson, also of Woodstock, were married by her cousin, the Reverend Burton Schroeder, on May 7, 1954, in Wonder Lake.

Norma retired in January 1979 after a career of over 35 years with the Internal Revenue Service in Chicago, where she was a personnel management specialist, having previously been a tax examiner and auditor.

She was a member of the First United Methodist Church of Woodstock, and life member of the McHenry County Historical Society, where she had worked as a volunteer for many years. She was also a member of various genealogical societies pursuing her interest in genealogy, which her parents encouraged at an early age.

In October 2000, she received the Volunteer of the Year Award from the Illinois Association of Museums. The Quilters of the McHenry County Historical Society dedicated their 2005 quilt to her in recognition of her many years of service.

She served as secretary of Doolittle’s of America from 1987 to 1993 and as secretary of Goff, Goffe, Goughes, and their ancestors and descendants from 1989 to 1993 and as a member of the Executive Council from 1994-1997.

She served on the Oakland Cemetery Board for many years.

A life member of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution, she had been regent and honorary ex-regent of the Kishwaukee Trail Chapter NSDAR, where she held various other offices. She was also a member of Colonial Dames of the Seventeenth Century.

Among her regular pleasures was the fellowship of friends, especially the Greenwood Lunch Bunch, the Methodist Lunch Bunch, and Crazy Hats.

Among her talents and hobbies was transcribing old handwritten documents at the McHenry County Recorder’s Office and at the McHenry County Historical Society.

Norma and Glenn had traveled extensively, including a trip to Australia and New Zealand.

She is survived by a godson, Gary Lee VanLanduyt; and many beloved nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Glenn “Andy” Elliot Anderson; her parents; her sister, Norine (the late Charles) Mathey; and an infant brother, James Emor Doolittle.

A visitation will be held on Monday, April 25, 2016, from 10 a.m. until the time of the fu-

neral service at 11 a.m. First United Methodist Church, 201 W. South St., Woodstock. Burial will be at Oakland Cemetery.

In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the First United Methodist Church of Woodstock, or to the McHenry County Historical Society.

HOROSCOPE

By EUGENIA LAST

Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – Size up your situation and be forceful when setting a high standard. Make the changes necessary to execute your practical plans.

Don’t wait for someone to come along and do things for you. Relying on others will lead to disappointment. Stay focused on the finish line.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – You have some good ideas. Discussing options with friends, peers or someone who needs help will put you in demand. Use charm in order to get the help you need.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Do whatever it takes to get fit. Personal projects geared toward perfecting your image will pay off, as long as

you stay within your means. Don’t promise something you cannot deliver.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – A problem with a loved one will surface if you are preoccupied.

A unique offer will help mend any broken promises or oversights. Keeping the peace is in your best interest.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Do whatever it takes to lift your spirits and build your confidence.

Participate in a challenge that tests your skills.

Invest in your surroundings or visit a destination that excites you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – A window of opportunity must not be ignored. An intelligent offer will be your ticket to an unusual investment with plenty of potential. A promise will lead to a new beginning.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Disagreements will end in a stalemate. Put your reputation first and avoid a situation that can make you look bad. Accept an inevitable change and make the most of it.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Focus on your home and family, and make some unusual changes to the way you live. A good workstation or entertainment center will add harmony to your environment and personal relationships.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Changes you initiate at home will enhance an important relationship. Don’t get involved in rumors or deal with institutions or government agencies.

Delays or confusion while traveling can be expected.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – If you voice your opinion and share your ideas, you will be

offered valuable information. Keep the peace when dealing with close friends, children or loved ones.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Discuss your ideas and plans with a loved one. Reuniting with old co-workers will resurrect a plan or project that still interests you.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Keep an open mind but don’t be too trusting when dealing with peers, groups or clubs trying to change your beliefs, values or life direction. Do your own thing.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Diplomacy will help you avoid a breakdown of communication.

Listen carefully and put a positive twist on whatever you contribute. Romance will help you keep the peace with someone you love.

STATE Educators pressure lawmakers over school funding

By SOPHIA TAREEN and ASHLEY LISENBY The Associated Press

CHICAGO – Educators amped up the pressure on Illinois leaders for more school and university funding with protests Wednesday in Springfield and fierce criticism of Gov. Bruce Rauner by the head of the Chicago Teachers Union.

More than 1,000 people – teachers, retirees, union members and activists from Chicago and elsewhere – marched from the Capitol to highlight a 10-month budget standoff that’s forced higher education layoffs and the anticipated closure of Chicago State University.

They called for support of a proposal to replace Illinois’ flat income tax with one to make the wealthiest residents pay more, saying the revenue will help universities and social services operating without state money.

In Chicago, CTU President Karen Lewis blasted the first-term Republican governor for his role in the standoff and moves to curb union influence, comments that come as the union is locked in contentious contract negotiations with nation’s third-largest school district.

“Rauner is the new ISIS recruit,”

News from across the state House weighs legalization of daily fantasy sports betting

SPRINGFIELD – The Illinois House gave its initial approval to a measure that would legalize betting on daily fantasy sports Wednesday, but some lawmakers expressed concern about whether the bill has been properly vetted and its chances at full passage remain uncertain.

The proposal would regulate how the online businesses operate by dictating who can play and by taxing and charging operators licensing fees. Only people 21 and older could play and employees at the companies would be barred from participating in the contests.

Industry giants DraftKings and FanDuel have been lobbying for regulation around the country that would allow them to continue operating, after some states said that what they were doing amounted

Dominican University students attend a rally supporting increased funding to education held near the state Capitol complex Wednesday in Springfield. she said referring to the Islamic State group, during a City Club of Chicago speech. “Because the things he’s doing looks like acts of terror on poor and working-class people.”

Rauner’s office immediately objected to the comments.

“This kind of rhetoric has no place

in American public discourse and sets a terrible example for our kids,” Rauner spokeswoman Catherine Kelly said in a statement.

Rauner and legislative Democrats are deadlocked over a budget for the fiscal year that began in July.

Rauner wants pro-business re-

to illegal online gambling.

The companies support the legislation in Illinois, a state where they said 2 million people participate in the games. That makes the Illinois the third largest market for the contests, according to the Fantasy Trade Association, which represents DraftKings, FanDuel and 300 other operators. A House judiciary panel approved the bill on a 9-4 vote, sending it to the full chamber for consideration, which could happen as soon as this week.

children, ages 10 and 13, were found Feb. 4 on the city’s South Side. Police have said they are investigating but haven’t publicly identified any suspects. The autopsy reports said two small-caliber bullets and a fragment were recovered from Herminia Martinez’s body.

Autopsy details stabbing, gunshot deaths of family

CHICAGO – A man who was one of six people killed in February in a Chicago home suffered 42 knife wounds and a woman was shot six times, new autopsy reports show.

Maria Herminia Martinez, 32, had four bullet wounds to her head and gunshots to each of her hands, and Noe Martinez Sr., 62, had 42 knife wounds all over his body, the Cook County medical examiner’s reports released Tuesday show, according to the Chicago Sun-Times.

Lawsuit: Teen killed by police posed no threat

CHICAGO – The mother of a black teenager fatally shot this week by Chicago police is suing the city and two officers.

The federal lawsuit filed Wednesday said 16-year-old Pierre Loury “presented no threat” as he was chased by officers and that police shot “without lawful justification.”

Police said Loury fled from a car suspected of involvement in another shooting. They said an officer fired after Loury turned and pointed a gun.

Attorney Andrew Stroth represents Loury’s mother. He said an April 13 report from a mayoral task force supports the lawsuit’s claims of racial bias among police. The report concluded Chicago

forms.

Democrats, who want a tax increase, object to Rauner’s ideas such as collective bargaining changes.

Rauner, who last year approved money for public schools, said his proposed spending plan would allocate $120 million more for them next year.

However, under his blueprint universities are expected to see cuts and CPS could lose $74 million while experiencing a $1 billion deficit, which Chicago district officials rallied against Tuesday.

Meanwhile, lawmakers are also considering Democrat-backed proposals for a graduated income tax and an overhaul of Illinois’ outdated school funding formula.

Lewis said teachers are preparing for a strike as early as May. On Saturday, CTU rejected a neutral arbitrator’s recommendation that it accept a district contract, which started a 30day clock for when the union can give notice of a strike.

The issues include pension payments and raises.

Chicago schools CEO Forrest Claypool asked Lewis on Wednesday to use binding arbitration in lieu of a strike, which CTU officials dismissed as a “publicity stunt.”

police have “no regard for the sanctity of life” regarding “people of color.”

Law department spokesman Bill McCaffrey said city attorneys haven’t seen the filing and can’t comment.

Officials identify several bloodstream infection cases

SPRINGFIELD – Illinois health officials are reporting a cluster of cases of a rare bloodstream infection they detected while investigating a Wisconsin outbreak. The Illinois Department of Public Health announced Wednesday an additional 10 cases of infection from the bacterium Elizabethkingia, including six deaths. The strain is different from the one in Wisconsin, however.

The majority of the cases are from this year, but some date back to 2014.

That’s because Illinois hospitals were asked to help with the Wisconsin investigation by reporting cases back that far.

Officials previously reported one Illinois death related to the same strain of bacteria that caused the Wisconsin outbreak.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS Obama pushes Saudis, Gulf allies to up Iraq aid

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia – With fresh friction wearing on an old alliance, President Barack Obama pressed Saudi Arabia and Persian Gulf nations Wednesday to step up efforts to defeat ISIS and help rebuild war-torn Iraq.

Obama huddled privately with Saudi King Salman at Erga Palace as Defense Secretary Ash Carter appealed to other Gulf nations for more economic and political support for Iraq, echoing themes Obama planned to emphasize personally in talks with Gulf leaders at a regional summit. In addition to Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, United Arab Emirates, Oman and Qatar are participating.

The president’s visit came at a difficult time for requests. U.S. relations with Gulf allies, particularly Saudi Arabia, are under strains from differences over Iran, the conflicts in Syria and Yemen, and Obama’s public complaints that allies not carrying their weight.

case also spotlighted misconduct by federal prosecutors. The men had been convicted by a jury in 2011 but U.S. District Judge Kurt Engelhardt set aside the verdict two years later because federal prosecutors leaked information to the media and made anonymous online comments about the case. The plea agreement means significantly shorter sentences for the former officers, with credit for years already served. It also avoids another long, painful trial.

3 officials charged in Flint water crisis; more predicted

By MIKE HOUSEHOLDER and ED WHITE The Associated Press

FLINT, Mich. – The Flint water crisis became a criminal case Wednesday when two state regulators and a city employee were charged with official misconduct, evidence-tampering and other offenses over the lead contamination that alarmed the country and brought cries of racism.

“This is a road back to restoring faith and confidence in all Michigan families in their government,” state Attorney General Bill Schuette said in announcing the first charges to come out of the disaster, blamed on a series of bad decisions by bureaucrats and political leaders.

He warned there will be more charges – “That I can guarantee” – and added: “No one is off the table.”

For nearly 18 months, the poor, majority-black city of 100,000 used the Flint River for tap water as a way to save money – a decision made by a state-appointed emergency manager – while a new pipeline was under construction. But the water wasn’t treated to control corrosion. The result: Lead was released from aging pipes and fixtures as water flowed into homes and businesses.

Gov. Rick Snyder didn’t acknowledge the problem until last fall, when tests revealed high levels of lead in children, in whom the heavy metal can cause low IQs and behavioral problems.

Michael Prysby, a former district engineer with the state Department of Environmental

Quality, and Stephen Busch, a supervisor in the department’s drinking water office, were charged with misconduct, conspiracy, tampering with test results and misdemeanor violations of clean-water law. The felonies carry maximum penalties of four to five years in prison.

Among other things, they were accused of failing to order anticorrosion chemicals added to the water to coat the pipes and prevent them from releasing lead.

Flint utilities administrator Michael Glasgow, who oversaw day-to-day operations at the city’s water plant at the time, also was charged Wednesday with tampering with evidence for allegedly falsifying test results and with willful neglect of duty.

Busch and Prysby pleaded not guilty and were released on bail. Both were suspended without pay. Their attorneys did not immediately return calls seeking comment.

Glasgow was also placed on leave and awaited a court appearance. A telephone number for him could not be found, and it wasn’t known whether he had a lawyer.

The crisis – and the state’s slow and dismissive response to complaints about the water from experts and residents – led to allegations of environmental racism, became an issue in the presidential race during Michigan’s Democratic primary in March, and sent other U.S. cities rushing to test their water, particularly in older neighborhoods with lead pipes.

“They failed Michigan families. Indeed, they failed us all,” Schuette said of the men charged. “I don’t care where you live.”

NATION BRIEF Police: St. Louis campus shooting possibly road rage

ST. LOUIS – A school employee who was shot in the arm while riding in a car on the Washington University campus told investigators that road rage was behind the incident that led to a 90-minute lockdown Wednesday, suburban St. Louis police said.

Clayton Police Chief Kevin Murphy said both the woman and the driver of the car she was in said they had argued with someone in a black sport utility vehicle just before the shooting and that the SUV then drove away. Murphy said the woman told police she didn’t know who shot her.

No arrests had been made as of Wednesday evening.

The woman, whose name was not released by police, was taken to a hospital for treatment. Murphy said she was expected to survive. University officials said the woman was a campus food service worker. The shooting happened about 1:30 p.m. near the student union and performing arts building, along a road that separates the main campus from the university’s primary residential housing area.

Trump against delegate system

By KEN THOMAS and JULIE PACE The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – Hillary Clinton, the nearly unstoppable Democrat, and Republican front-runner Donald Trump accelerated Wednesday toward Northeast primaries on an increasingly direct path to presidential nominations after trouncing party challengers in New York.

Clinton, now 81 percent of the way toward clinching the Democratic nomination that eluded her eight years ago, can lose every remaining contest and still prevail. Her Donald sweeping victory in the Trump New York primary called into question the durability of Bernie Sanders’ rival campaign and left him with severely limited options for overtaking her.

While Trump strengthened his hand, he still is far from in the clear.

Trump is focused heavily on clinching the Republican nomination through voters’ balloting in state primaries, thus avoiding a contested national convention in Cleveland in July. The businessman’s win in his home state keeps him on a path to securing the 1,237 delegates

he needs, though he’ll have to perform well in the round of primaries in Pennsylvania, Maryland, Connecticut, Rhode Island and Delaware on Tuesday and in California’s huge contest on June 7.

His chief rival, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, has no mathematical path to getting the nomination through primary voting. But he sees a window to snatch the nomination from Trump at the convention, and his campaign is working feverishly to line up delegates who would support him if Trump fails to prevail on a first ballot.

The side-by-side GOP efforts at this late stage Hillary Clinton – with Trump amassing primary victories while Cruz digs for the support of delegates who could settle the nomination – are unprecedented in recent presidential campaigns and add to the deeply uncertain nature of the race.

Trump basked in the glow of his victory at a rally in Indianapolis, where he drew several thousand people to a packed building at the Indiana State Fairgrounds. He railed against the Republican nominating system, pointing to Louisiana, where he was outmaneuvered by Cruz in the fight for delegates,

and Pennsylvania, where the statewide winner gets 17 delegates outright and the rest “are up for grabs.”

“They can take the delegates, they can put ‘em in airplanes and fly ‘em to resorts, they can have dinners with them, they can put them in hotels. Essentially what they’re saying is they can buy the election,” Trump said.

Indiana votes on May 3.

Cruz campaigned in Hershey, Pennsylvania, trying to brush off his Tuesday shellacking in New York, where he failed to pick up a single delegate. With trademark sarcasm, he played down Trump’s win, saying the mogul hoped to convince people that “Pennsylvania is a suburb of Manhattan.”

“Donald, with a characteristic display of humility, declared this race is over,” Cruz said. “Manhattan has spoken. And if the rest of the voters would quietly go home now and allow him to give the general election to Hillary, all would be better.”

Later, Cruz conceded to reporters covering the Republican National Committee’s spring meeting in Florida that he cannot win the GOP nomination before the convention but insisted Trump couldn’t either.

He said it was clear “that we are headed to a contested convention.”

Rafael Correa Ecuador president

for water and food supplies. Soldiers kept control with fenced barricades.

“They looted the store. I’m taking out what little remains,” Jose Encalada said as he cleaned up his paint store in Pedernales, one of the hardest-hit towns.

Reflecting some of the desperation, residents in Manta could be seen scavenging through the rubble, no longer looking for loved ones but trying to salvage metallic objects and other items of value.

Grief mounted as families buried loved ones, but people held out hope of finding some of 163 people the government said were still missing. Since Saturday, 54 people have been rescued from rubble alive. Rescuers who have arrived from Mexico, Colombia, Spain and other nations said they would keep searching for survivors, but cautioned the likelihood of finding people alive grew small-

er every hour.

As authorities begin to shift their attention to restoring electricity and clearing debris, the earth continued to move.

Local seismologists have recorded more than 550 aftershocks, some felt 105 miles away in the capital of Quito.

Saturday’s earthquake destroyed or damaged about 1,500 buildings and left some 23,500 people homeless, the government said. It was the worst temblor in Ecuador since one in 1949 killed more than 5,000 people.

A helicopter flyover of the damage zone Wednesday showed the scale of the devastation, with entire city blocks in ruins as if they had been bombed.

About 13 nations and 32,000 volunteers are involved in the relief effort.

Cuba sent more health workers. Venezuela has flown in food and the U.S. government said it would send a team of disaster experts as well $100,000 in assistance.

President Rafael Correa has spent the past days overseeing relief efforts and delivering supplies. On Wednesday, he said he would soon announce economic measures to help rebuild. The quake caused $3 billion in damage, about 3 percent of gross domestic product, he said.

“This isn’t a problem of just three days, three weeks or three months,” Correa said. “It’s a problem that will take years.”

Senate OKs bill to promote wide variety of energy sources

WASHINGTON – The Senate overwhelmingly approved a far-reaching energy bill Wednesday that reflects significant changes in U.S. oil and natural gas production over the past decade and boosts alternative energy sources such as wind and solar power.

The bill also would speed federal approval of projects to export liquefied natural gas to Europe and Asia, where prices are higher than in the U.S. following a yearlong boom in domestic gas production. With its 85-12 vote, the Senate backed its first ambitious energy bill in nearly a decade.

Sen. Lisa Murkowski, an Alaska Republican and chairwoman of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, said the bill represented “energy modernization” on a broad scale, reflecting almost a decade’s worth of changes in technologies and markets in the energy sector.

“Moving forward with this act will help America produce more energy, help Americans save more money and bring us one step closer to becoming a global energy superpower,” Murkowski said.

MANTA, Ecuador – A magnitude-6.1 aftershock Wednesday set babies crying and sent nervous residents pouring into the streets, fearful of yet more damage following the deadly earthquake over the weekend.

The pre-dawn jolt was the strongest aftershock yet since Saturday’s magnitude-7.8 quake that killed more than 500 people. Some people in Portoviejo abandoned their homes, even those with no apparent damage, and headed to a former airport where temporary shelters have been set up.

The government said the number of known dead stood at 553, but officials expected more bodies to be found. About 7,000 were injured. At least 11 foreigners were among the dead, including two Canadians and three Cuban doctors who had been on a medical mission to Ecuador. The final toll could surpass casualties from earthquakes in Chile and Peru in the past decade.

Among the survivors, the situation was growing increasingly tense. While humanitarian aid has been pouring in from around the world, distribution is slow. In Manta on Wednesday, people waited for hours under the tropical sun

“This isn’t a problem of just three days, three weeks or three months. It’s a problem that will take years.”

OUR VIEW

Redistricting reform a must Comptroller Leslie Munger’s decision to make state officeholders and legislators wait for their paychecks the same way others who rely on the state to get paid seems only fair.

Why should businesses that have honestly rendered service to the state of Illinois be paid after those who, through inaction, have driven the state to crisis?

It’s a shame that Munger didn’t come up with this idea sooner. If lawmakers had been forced to wait weeks or months for their pay beginning seven months ago, perhaps they’d have come to some agreement by now.

But it’s also a sad commentary on our state’s politics, and a perfect example of why our state needs to reform how it draws its legislative districts.

Illinois is approaching 10 months without a budget, interest and penalties are mounting, services for the poor, the disabled and others in need have been scaled back or curtailed, and our state’s leaders seem only more determined to dig in their heels.

With all of this taking place during an election year, voter anger should long ago have been natural motivation for the two sides to reach an agreement. Instead, our great hope for pressuring lawmakers is delaying their paychecks.

There are 40 seats up for election in Illinois’ state Senate this fall. Only 10 of them will be contested among candidates from each major party in November.

The Democrats control the Senate, 39-19, and no matter the outcome of the fall elections, they will remain in control.

In the State House of Representatives, all 118 seats are up for election, as they are every two years. This year, only 42 of the 118 races will have contenders from both of the major parties.

During an election year where state government is floundering, only 25 percent of state Senate races and 36 percent of House races will be contested among the two parties.

Why? In part it’s because our state allows partisan interest to dictate how its legislative districts are drawn, allowing politicians to pick their voters rather than the other way around.

Illinois voters may have the chance to change this system in November, if a proposed ballot question can survive political operatives’ attempts to keep it off the ballot .

But if ever there was a year that made it clear why we need fair, nonpartisan legislative districts in Illinois, it’s this one.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

ANOTHER VIEW

Change school funding formula Let’s start with something everyone should agree on: A public school student in Taylorville is as important as a student in Chicago. A student in Bloomington shouldn’t receive any more or fewer opportunities than a student in Wheaton.

But getting to that point when it comes to funding for public schools in Illinois is difficult. The current school funding formula, adopted in 1997, is unfair and needlessly complicated. It allows some schools to spend as much as $30,000 per student while others spend as little as $6,000. The current formula basically treats schools with high poverty rates and other demographic challenges the same as rich schools that don’t face those challenges.

Sen. Andy Manar, D-Bunker Hill, wants to change that. He’s promoted a series of bills in recent years designed at basing the school aid formula on poverty and other demographics. The intend-

ed effect is state funding would go where it’s needed the most.

To placate school districts, and their legislators, that worry about receiving less money, the latest version of Manar’s bill would phase in the changes over four years. In the first year, all schools would receive the same amount of state aid as they had previously. The changes would then be phased in over four years, giving districts time to adjust.

The bill also would put Chicago schools on the same funding formula as the rest of the state and would have the state cover the employer’s portion of pension costs for Chicago schools, as is done in the rest of the state. It would be better if districts paid their own pension costs, simply because it would make school boards more accountable for pension provisions.

No school district wants to receive less money from the state.

No legislator wants to tell the

schools he or she represents they will receive fewer dollars. But in some districts, the money debate is over how many lanes to build in the swimming pool. In other districts, it’s about whether to replace decades old textbooks.

Gov. Bruce Rauner and Republicans in the General Assembly say that Democrats are holding up school funding in order to ensure a bailout for Chicago schools.

Rauner said he wants the General Assembly to first fully fund education in next year’s budget and then fix the funding system.

The best solution would be to do both. School districts need reliable state funding so they can plan accordingly. The governor and the General Assembly should look at ways to reduce school funding, such as eliminating the unnecessary educational bureaucracy and consolidating school districts to achieve efficiencies.

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

Common-sense pension reductions

To the Editor: I am responding to the president of the Illinois Education Association, Cinda Klickna. To the point, no, Gov. Bruce Rauner’s Turnaround Agenda would not depress wages for workers around the state, not even teachers.

What his agenda would do is try to bring some common-sense reductions to the public employee pensions that are not so slowly bankrupting the state of Illinois.

Here’s a news flash: Gov. Rauner was elected to do just that; reduce the cost of government and reign in the oppressive leadership of Speaker Michael Madigan and the dark force of public employee unions who have run this state for the last 40-plus years.

What does Madigan have to say on this subject? Crickets.

Union Pacific explains Harvard agent decision

To the Editor: In response to the April 13 letter to

VIEWS Scott Reeder atop the manure pile that is Illinois government.

Typically, lawmakers earn about $80,000 a year for their part-time jobs.

Some could earn more in the private sector. There are some impressive résumés in the legislature.

But there are a fair number who lack even the rudimentary leadership skills necessary to be an assistant manager at a fast food restaurant.

I know that sounds harsh. But that is what I have observed during my 17 years covering the Illinois General Assembly.

Along with the bright lights, there are some pretty dim bulbs on the legislative marquee.

They became lawmakers in the least democratic way possible – they were picked by party bosses. And they have hung on to their jobs because our legislative districts are drawn in such a way that voters often have had little

the editor, “Keep Metra Agent in Harvard,” I want to clarify for Mr. Edwin Detlefsen and interested community members why Union Pacific made this decision and the rationale for doing so.

Most importantly, the single change happening at the Harvard station is that Metra passengers can no longer purchase tickets from an agent.

Passengers can continue to board and detrain at this location, as well as utilize the existing schedule between Harvard and other Chicago-area stops along Union Pacific’s Northwest Metra line. Commuters in Harvard can continue to purchase tickets using the mobile Ventra app or online via Metra’s website.

Harvard commuters may also purchase the tickets in person on the train at no additional cost, at Ogilvie Transportation Center or other stations.

It was Union Pacific’s business decision to eliminate the Harvard station agent as part of our ongoing efforts to best align resources with demand – specifically, long-range historical data showed us that Harvard ridership is the lowest amongst UP Metra stations with a ticket agent. For this reason,

choice but to keep them.

And they know the only way they can imperil their jobs is if they displease their party boss.

So they kowtow.

So there is a part of me that likes the idea of seeing some of these folks waiting to get paid – just like every firm that does business with the state.

And here’s how Comptroller Leslie Munger explained it over the weekend when she announced her decision to make lawmakers wait to get paid: “Our social service network is being dismantled, mass layoffs are occurring and small businesses across Illinois are awaiting payments for services they’ve already provided. As our cash crunch grows in the coming months, it is only appropriate that the unfair prioritization of payments to elected leaders ends. We are all in this together, we all will wait in line.”

But, gee, Leslie, if it is such a good idea, why didn’t you start doing it 10 months ago?

The reason is pretty simple. This is a political move not a fiscal one. The amount lawmakers would be paid out of that multi-billion dollar backlog of

bills is picayune.

Munger, who faces Chicago City Clerk Susana Mendoza in November, is posturing with a bit of populist rhetoric.

One could ask, why stop at state lawmakers? Why not make all state workers wait to get paid? Their collective salaries, in fact, do have a significant impact on the state finances.

But you’ll never hear Munger or any other politician endorse such a plan because it would not only be illegal to force rank-and-file workers to wait to be paid but it would also be unpopular. And no politician wants to bear the brand of unpopularity.

While Munger’s proposal to make politicians queue up for their pay seems almost poetic in its justice, it’s just a ploy.

And our state needs solutions – not more gimmicks.

SPRINGFIELD – Illinois lawmakers might find themselves waiting months to get paid – just like many firms that do business with the state.

Illinois has been functioning without a budget for 10 months.

Despite this, the courts have put the state on autopilot, authorizing spending that the legislature has failed to act upon.

The state has a $7.8 billion bill backlog and it’s continuing to dig itself billions of dollars further into the hole.

Just about everyone who does business with the state can expect to wait at least two months to get paid. For many businesses, it’s much longer.

Nursing homes teeter on the brink of bankruptcy; pharmacies are shutting down; gas stations are turning state police cars away as the state struggles to pay what it owes.

But one privileged group has largely avoided the pain: lawmakers and the state’s six constitutional officers.

Long before the state’s current budget crisis, lawmakers enacted a law that allows them to get paid even if the state doesn’t have a budget in place.

So legislators are sitting pretty –

BUSINESS Tubman to be on new $20 bill; Hamilton stays on $10

By MARTIN CRUTSINGER The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – Harriet Tubman, an African-American abolitionist who was born a slave, will stand with George Washington, Abraham Lincoln and Benjamin Franklin among the iconic faces of U.S. currency.

The $20 bill will be redesigned with Tubman’s portrait on the front, marking two historic milestones, Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew announced Wednesday. Tubman will become the first African-American on U.S. paper money and the first woman to be depicted on currency in 100 years.

The leader of the Underground Railroad will replace the portrait of Andrew Jackson, the nation’s seventh president and a slave owner, who will be pushed to the back of the bill.

Lew also settled a backlash that had erupted after he had announced an initial plan to remove Alexander Hamilton, the nation’s first Treasury secretary, from the $10 bill in order to honor a woman on the bill.

Hamilton will remain on the $10 note, Lew said. Instead, the Treasury building on the back of the bill will be changed to commemorate a 1913 march that ended on the steps of the Treasury building that featured suffragette leaders Lucretia Mott, Sojourner Truth, Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Alice Paul.

The back of the $20, which now shows the White House, will be redesigned to include the White House and Jackson, whose statue stands across the street in Lafayette Park.

A woman holds a sign supporting Harriet Tubman for the $20 bill during a town hall meeting in 2015 at the Women’s Rights National Historical Park in Seneca Falls, N.Y. The $5 bill also will undergo change: The illustration of the Lincoln Memorial on the back will be redesigned to honor “events at the Lincoln Memorial that helped to shape our history and our democracy.”

The new image on the $5 bill will include civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr., who gave his famous “I have a dream” speech on the steps of the memorial in 1963, and Marian Anderson and Eleanor Roosevelt. Anderson, an African-American opera singer, gave a concert at the memorial in 1939 after she had been blocked from singing at the then-segregated Constitution Hall.

The Lincoln Memorial concert was ar-

ranged by Mrs. Roosevelt.

An online group, Women on 20s, said it was encouraged that Lew was responding to its campaign to replace Jackson with a woman. But it said it wouldn’t be satisfied unless Lew committed to issuing the new $20 bill at the same time that the redesigned $10 bill is scheduled to be issued in 2020.

Lew didn’t go that far Wednesday.

But he pledged that at least the designs for all three bills will be accelerated so they’ll be finished by 2020 – the 100th anniversary of the passage of the 19th Amendment giving women the right to vote. He said the new notes will go into circulation as fast as possible after that, consistent with the need to incorporate new anti-counterfeiting measures in the designs.

Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen, the first woman to head the central bank, said she welcomed the decision to honor the achievements of women in American history. She said the Fed would work closely with the Treasury to get the new bills developed and into circulation.

U.S. currency has undergone upgrades over the years to stay ahead of counterfeiters. But the updates proposed by Lew for the three bills would be the most sweeping changes since 1929, when all U.S. paper money was redesigned to feature more standard designs and a smaller size to save printing costs.

Lew had initially selected the $10 bill to feature a woman because under the original timetable it was the next bill to be redesigned. But that proposal met fierce objections from supporters

of Hamilton, who is enjoying renewed popular interest with the smash Broadway hit musical “Hamilton.”

Tubman, who was born into slavery in the early part of the 19th century, escaped and then used the network of anti-slavery activists and safe houses known as the Underground Railroad to transport other slaves to freedom. After the Civil War, Tubman, who died in 1913, became active in the campaign for women’s suffrage.

Numerous groups have been campaigning to have a woman honored on the nation’s paper currency, which has been an all-male domain for more than a century.

Amrita Myers, a historian at Indiana University, said honoring Tubman was appropriate.

“Not only is this going to be the first African-American historical figure on U.S. currency, but it’s a woman specifically from the era of slavery,” Myers said.

Wednesday’s announcement helped mark a decades-long decline in the reputation of Jackson, once a pillar of the modern Democratic Party but now often defined by his ownership of slaves and the “Trail of Tears” saga that forcibly removed American Indians from their land.

LONDON – Britain’s Prince George gets a boost in a photo for a new British stamp set – thanks to some foam blocks and duct tape.

The toddler prince is pictured alongside his father Prince William, grandfather Prince Charles and great-grandmother Queen Elizabeth II in stamps issued to mark the queen’s 90th birthday on Thursday.

The adults are seated, but a smiling George stands atop four foam blocks secured with tape so that his head is at roughly the same height as the others. The blocks can’t be seen on the stamp.

Utah theater sues after ‘Deadpool’ showing citation

Louis Armstrong practices with his horn in 1971 at his Corona, New York home.

Museum gets only known film of Louis Armstrong in studio NEW YORK – The Louis Armstrong House Museum has acquired the only known film of the great jazz musician in a recording studio, footage that was discovered in a storage facility.

The 33-minute, 16 mm film captures Armstrong recording his 1959 album “Satchmo Plays King Oliver” in Los Angeles for Audio Fidelity. The record producer, Sid Frey, had the film professionally shot but wound up not doing anything with it or telling anyone about it.

Michael Cogswell, the New York City museum’s executive director, called it “a groundbreaking discovery.” The museum announced the acquisition Wednesday.

“The film has spent the past six decades in private hands or in a storage locker.

Not even the most diligent Armstrong researchers knew it existed,” he said.

Frey’s daughter, Andrea Bass, who helped the museum acquire the film, said she first learned about its existence in a chatroom discussion of her father’s company.

Frey, the founder and president of Audio Fidelity, was known in the industry as Mr. Stereo for being the first to release a commercially distributed stereo recording, she said.

Frey died in 1968. Bass said that after their mother died in 2005, her sister placed the Audio Fidelity tapes, films, albums and personal family items in a storage facility – unbeknownst to her.

The film opens with two complete takes of “I Ain’t Got Nobody.” After the first attempt, Armstrong signals for “one more,” and then approvingly winks at his bandmates after the second – master – take.

SALT LAKE CITY – A Salt Lake City theater is suing the state for using an obscenity law to threaten its liquor license for serving drinks during a screening of “Deadpool.”

Brewvies argued in court documents filed Tuesday that the Utah law unconstitutionally uses liquor rules to restrict the theater’s free speech rights. The theater argued that the film is not considered obscene under state or federal obscenity laws.

Rocky Anderson, a lawyer for Brewvies, says other Utah theaters showed the film but weren’t cited because they don’t serve liquor.

Utah’s alcohol control department filed the complaint against Brewvies after undercover officers attended a screening of Marvel’s R-rated antihero film “Deadpool” in February. The film stars Ryan Reynolds as the foul-mouthed superhero.

Utah’s Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control scheduled a meeting in May to discuss or possibly settle the complaint before further disciplinary action, which could include thousands in fines and the suspension or revocation of the theater’s license.

Jennifer Aniston is People’s Most Beautiful Woman

NEW YORK – She’ll be there for you. People Magazine has named Jennifer Aniston its “World’s Most Beautiful Woman” of 2016.

The 47-year-old actress graces the cover of People’s 27th annual “World’s Most

Beautiful” double issue.

“I thought, ‘Oh my God,’ ” Aniston tells People in this week’s cover story upon hearing the news. “There was this sort of very excited, teenage-y kind of moment.”

The actress, who gained fame as Rachel on “Friends,” also tells the magazine that she’s learned to embrace her appearance over the years, and feels her best when she’s healthy and strong.

Release of ‘Blade Runner’ sequel being moved up

LOS ANGELES – The future is coming sooner than expected.

The sequel to Ridley Scott’s neo-noir dystopia “Blade Runner,” is now set to hit theaters on Oct. 6, 2017 – months ahead of its originally planned February 2018 release.

Alcon Entertainment announced the plans Wednesday.

Scott will executive produce the film, which begins principal photography this summer with “Sicario” director Denis Villeneuve at the helm.

Harrison Ford will reprise his role as Rick Deckard in the sequel, which takes place a few decades after the events of the first film.

The sequel also stars Ryan Gosling, Robin Wright and Dave Bautista.

Upon its release, critics were mixed on “Blade Runner,” which underwhelmed at the box office. Decades and many versions later, the film has become a sci-fi classic and one of Ford’s most iconic roles.

Diet may protect heart and brain Dear Dr. K: I know the Mediterranean diet is supposed to improve heart health.

Recently, I heard it also improves brain health. Is that pretty well established? Of all the organs I want to protect, my brain is “numero uno.”

Dear Reader: I agree with your priorities regarding organs: My brain is “numero uno,” too. And I do think the evidence is strong the Mediterranean diet does protect the brain. This diet emphasizes fruits, vegetables, grains, beans, nuts, fish, poultry, olive oil and wine.

Most of the evidence about the health benefits of the Mediterranean diet comes from observational studies. In such studies, large numbers of people are followed for many years. Information about their lifestyle and any diseases they might have developed is collected. Most such studies have found people who follow the Mediterranean diet have a lowered risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease.

However, observational studies that link a lifestyle behavior to a disease (or to protection against a disease) can’t prove causation. That is, it might be true people who follow a Mediterranean diet do have a lower risk of Alzheimer’s, but that doesn’t mean the diet is the reason for the lower risk. Something else about people who follow the Mediterranean diet might protect them from Alzheimer’s.

To prove causation, scientists must conduct randomized controlled trials.

Such studies are not often done to test the effect of lifestyle on health; they are very expensive and impractical. To prove the Mediterranean diet reduced the risk of Alzheimer’s, scientists would need to have thousands of people assigned at random to either follow the Mediterranean diet or not – for 20 to 30 years. And the scientists

SUDOKU

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff would need to ensure those tens of thousands of people really were eating the way the study told them to eat.

Smaller and shorter randomized trials are more practical, but less likely to provide definite answers. One such study was reported in 2013. About 300 people in Spain were assigned to follow either the Mediterranean diet or a low-fat diet for about four years. Intensive tests of thinking were performed at the start of the study and after four years. The people who followed the Mediterranean diet had a modest improvement in several measures of thinking.

Those who followed the low-fat diet had a slight deterioration.

In 2015, a novel observational study was reported. About 700 people, with an age range of 65 to 90, had magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) performed to examine their brains. Those who followed the Mediterranean diet had larger brains, or brains that had shrunk less since they were young.

They had brains that were the size of people five years younger, compared with people who did not follow the diet. The specific factors in the diet that seemed most closely tied to larger brains were eating lots of fish and little red meat.

I’m not arguing the Mediterranean diet has been proven to protect the brain. But the evidence is strong enough that I long since have adopted the diet myself.

Dear Abby: I am an elementary school teacher, and I have noticed many of my colleagues come to work when they’re sick. We have sick days, but they are proud of the fact they don’t use them.

These coworkers wear their illnesses like badges of honor – as if coming to work sick somehow shows their dedication. I feel it is inconsiderate to the children and to other staff members who are forced to spend hours with them in enclosed spaces exposed to their germs.

I’m not sure how to express my feelings without causing a rift because one of the worst offenders is the principal. Any suggestions? –

When my friend became pregnant, her boyfriend didn’t stick around to be in the baby’s life. The three of us had gone to school together, and they started dating years later. When she asked me to be the child’s godmother, I said yes. The baby is 5 months old now.

While I was out at a bar recently, I ran into the boyfriend. My friend now is mad at me because I said hello to him. She thinks I should have ignored him, given him a dirty look or had words with him in public, but that’s not me.

She’s now saying she never wants to talk to me or see me again. I know she’s bitter, but I feel that was a little extreme. What should I do?

– Confused Godmother Dear Confused: Frankly, I think you should take this vindictive individual at her word until she apologizes. If you do as I suggest, there will be far less turmoil and drama in your life.

Dear Abby: My girlfriend and I each own our homes and have about the same mortgage payment. She ends up staying with me most of the time because I live closer to where we both work. I recently found out she has been Airbnbing her condo a lot of the weekends when she stays with me. I feel taken advantage of even though it doesn’t really affect me whether her place is empty or she’s getting rent.

What is the etiquette on such an arrangement? Should I be getting a cut? I feel if I told her I wanted to stay at her place and rent out mine, she would want some of the money. –

GIRLS SOCCER: PRAIRIE RIDGE 2, CARY-GROVE 0

Perhats strikes early

Soph’s 2 goals in 1st half give Wolves victory

FEED

From Twitter @clayguida

Tweet from last night

By JOHN WILKINSON

jwilkinson@shawmedia.com CARY – There was a flicker, then darkness and, after some shouting, the whistle.

A steady rain fell throughout the second half of Wednesday’s girls soccer match between Prairie Ridge and CaryGrove. With 13:37 left to play, the stadium lights cut out and, after letting the match go on for a couple of moments, the referee stopped play with 13:35 on the scoreboard clock, which didn’t seem to be affected by the outage.

After a brief meeting between the two coaches, the game was called. The result stood as a 2-0 win for Prairie Ridge in a Fox Valley Conference crossover.

“The weather just keeps getting worse, and the light situation – we’re not sure what was going to be happening,” C-G coach Ray Krystal said.

The two deciding goals came well before the rain began. Emily Perhats scored both goals for the Wolves (6-5) within the game’s first 18 minutes.

“She’s been really excelling on hitting balls from the outside and getting them in, and she’s got a great shot and she’s really got a great nose for goal and she’s in form right now,” Prairie Ridge coach Andre Watson said.

Perhats’ first came seven minutes into the match, striking a long-range effort from the edge of the box.

“I think it all comes from practice.

We practice how we play,” Perhats said. “ I just put my head down and strike it.”

In the 18th minute, she made it 2-0 when a Melissa Bear corner fell to Perhats’ feet inside the box and she was able to turn and score.

“That’s just a hustle play, and it’s just something we talk to them all the time about. You’ve got to be selfish in the box,” Watson said. “That’s what she did, she got the ball, quick turn and put it on.”

The Trojans (6-2-1) were not without their own chances, including what they thought was a tying goal waved off in the ninth minute.

The Trojans forced Prairie Ridge’s Taylor Golt to make four saves and were especially dangerous from corners.

“I thought we really did well,” Watson said. “I thought Cary-Grove really

came out in the second half and had some good momentum, and I thought we weathered the storm, no pun intended, and then we were able to kind of settle in a little and get something off it. So good game, pretty happy about it.”

Miranda Malone started in goal for the Trojans and played the majority of the game, making one diving save, but Morgan Olsen was subbed in late in the first half for a few minutes of action.

“We made some chances, we didn’t capitalize on it, and Prairie Ridge is a good team,” Krystal said. “It was a nice battle. Odd day all around, including the ending.”

At 8:07 p.m., a little more than 10 minutes after they had gone out, the lights came back on. It didn’t matter, the now-lit field was empty, everyone had moved to the parking lot or gone home.

A minute later they were turned off for the night.

Schilling out at ESPN BRISTOL, Conn. – ESPN announced it fired network analyst and former Boston Red Sox star pitcher Curt Schilling after his comments on Facebook about transgender people.

On Monday, Schilling, 49, reposted an image of an overweight man wearing a long blond wig and revealing women’s clothing.

It included the phrase: “Let him in! To the restroom with your daughter or else you’re a narrow minded, judgmental, unloving, racist bigot who needs to die!!!”

Schilling added his own comments, saying, “A man is a man no matter what they call themselves” and “Now you need laws telling us differently? Pathetic.”

Schilling apparently was referring to laws in several states that restrict bathroom access to transgender people.

Earlier Wednesday, Schilling defended the post on his blog, saying he was expressing his opinion and those criticizing him are frauds.

Carly Chovanec went 3 for 4 with a double and two runs to lead the Gators, who had 13 hits. Brittany Baker and Taylor Kassel each scored two runs, and Skylar Olsen was 2 for 4 hitting ninth.

“We’ve been in close games ... and I know the girls were hungry to come out and play,” Gators coach Scott Busam said. “For it to be a Valley game, against one of the better hitting teams, it’s a big win for us. We needed that a lot.”

The Chargers (8-9, 1-3) had won three of four games, but early defensive miscues hurt D-C on Wednesday.

“We’re coming off two games that we played really hard,” Chargers coach Tracy Beatty said. “I don’t know if we’re at a point where we just mentally let down, we’re tired a little ... I don’t know, but that’s the monster of spring, you have to come back and play the next day.”

Sydney Ruggles pitched in relief for D-C, striking out seven in three innings.

She added an RBI double in the sixth.

Deanna Origer was 2 for 4 with one RBI, and Hannah Gestrich was 2 for 4.

By Denise Freese With another school year winding down, many coaches, club directors, and other group leaders are looking for ways to “kick it up a notch” when deciding how to celebrate and recognize their students and athletes at the end of a rewarding and successful year. Battle House Laser Combat is becoming an annual tradition for many of these groups, who have found a great way to integrate fun, recognition, and teambuilding into one special event.

In March 2015, and again last month, the Wauconda Track Team visited Battle House to have an afternoon of laser tag and team recognition.

Andrew Burton, Wauconda’s Track Coach, first brought his high school’s Wrestling team to Battle House in 2015. They had an amazing time, with very positive feedback, which benefited the Track Team - they got to go next.

“We offer party rooms with tables, chairs, SM-CL0350552

and camo tablecloths, and we sell beverages of all types,” said Doug Huckbody, owner of Battle House. “Guests are free to bring in their own food; some have pizzas delivered (the Wauconda Track Team demolished 55 of them!), while others arrange a pot luck meal.”

Traveling sports teams also love to visit Battle House to celebrate their season and recognize the players and coaches.

Battle House isn’t just for athletes; recently, the Barrington High School Speech Team came to get their battle on and to recognize their members for a successful year. It’s becoming a popular way to celebrate and recognize students and their accomplishments.

“One of the best perks of celebrating your group’s celebration of a successful year with us is that parties can usually be scheduled during the week to avoid the large crowd influx during the weekends,” said Huckbody. “It’s great to have practically the entire facility just for your group; this allows for more teambuilding skills to develop.”

CRYSTAL LAKE – After a deflating, extra-inning loss to Marian Central on Tuesday, Crystal Lake South’s Chloe Skorija wasn’t feeling the pressure of facing Dundee-Crown.

“We all were super pumped to play this game,” Skorija said of facing the Chargers, who scored 45 runs Chloe Skorija in their previous four games. “They definitely have some very talented hitters on their team.”

Skorija didn’t throw a single pitch against Marian Central, but she knew the importance of her team bouncing back in a Fox Valley Conference Valley Division game against D-C. The sophomore pitcher came through for South, holding the young and talented Chargers to two runs and scattering eight hits in a 9-2 FVC Valley victory.

Skorija finished with six strikeouts and four walks in a complete-game win, but

the seventh inning.

“I just knew that my defense was on today and they would be there to back me up, so I wasn’t super nervous,” said Skorija, who had the most success with her screw ball. “I just moved the ball in and out ... I’m just really glad that everyone was playing their best, and giving their best effort.”

South’s offense backed Skorija with four runs in the first and four in the second. The Gators (4-6 overall, 2-1 FVC Valley) were aided by five errors by D-C in the first two innings and received timely hitting from senior Brooke Maddox and junior Sam Schettl.

Maddox came through with a twoout, two-run single for South, and Schettl (2 for 4) followed with a run-scoring hit to give the Gators a 4-0 lead. In the second, Sam Burgard and Emily Sulikowski (2 for 4) each came through with RBI singles to push South’s lead to 8-0.

Maddox, a senior, missed one game after being hit in the left elbow by a pitch from Prairie Ridge’s Hailey Baker on Thursday.

4 Q&A WITH FORMER CUBS TRAINER TONY GAROFALO

Young pitchers’ arm injuries big concern

By MIKE DeFABO

fault.”

If the IHSA won’t do it, then the national high school association should do something.

mdefabo@shawmedia.com On Saturday, the Northwest Herald published a story in which we debated if a pitch count should be implemented for Illinois high school baseball teams.

Tony Garofalo, an athletic trainer with 46 years of experience, wrote to us to respond to the story and then agreed to a phone interview.

Of his 46 years of Tony Garofalo experience, he spent six years in the minor leagues with the Cardinals organization and 10 years (1977 to 1986) as the head athletic trainer for the Cubs.

He is a founding member of the Professional Baseball Athletic Trainers Society. The society is working with Major League Baseball on a project called Pitch Smart, which establishes guidelines for young pitchers in an attempt to prevent overuse injuries.

Much has been written about arm injuries. How much of a concern do you think this issue is?

I think they should be talking about it even more. I’m a founding member of the Professional Baseball Athletic Trainers Society, and we have an alumni group that gets together every year at the National Athletic Trainers meeting.

One of my colleagues, Larry Starr, spent years with the Cincinnati Reds and also the Miami Marlins. He basically said arm injuries are where concussions were five years ago. Everybody knows they occur, but they think if they don’t talk about them, they’ll go away.

It’s already at an epidemic state right now. Dr. James Andrews, the noted orthopedic surgeon, has said that his

How could a pitch-count system be implemented?

Pitching guidelines recommended by MLB’s Pitch Smart. surgeries on high school-age kids are now in the thousands compared to hundreds when he first started. That should tell you something.

What are some of the risk factors that can contribute to arm injuries in pitchers?

The biggest factors with young throwers are pitch types, pitch count and poor mechanics. If one of those three things goes bad, then you’re in trouble. If you’re overused and you’re tired, your mechanics start to suffer.

Then you start getting hurt.

Baseball is a marathon. Baseball is not a sprint. You wouldn’t think about running the Chicago Marathon without conditioning and training for it. It’s the same way with baseball. You’ve got to condition for it. You’ve got to use that off time to build that base.

When I was with the Cubs, I’d tell our players, don’t touch your gloves from the day the season is over until January. I want you to work out. I want you do to conditioning. Then when you come to spring training, you can get conditioned to pitch.

The problem I’m seeing is a lot of

MLB graphic

When we met with the IHSA, we gave them a perfect solution for how to do it.

Take the umpire on the bases and give him a clicker. He writes the kid’s name down and writes the number of pitches. He puts it into a database.

Then the umpires that work the next game, say Barrington High School and Schaumburg High School, he’ll look and see who pitched recently. Then he’ll tell the coach before the game, this kid is ineligible, this kid is ineligible, this kid is ineligible.

I don’t think there’s a coach out there who wants to hurt one of their athletes.

But when it gets to that arch-rivalry game, they want their best players out there.

these kids, they’re doing stuff all year round. Kids don’t have time off. That’s the problem. If you’re playing high school baseball, then you’re playing (American) Legion ball and travel ball in the summer and then some schools play fall ball. Then after fall ball, you have your tryouts for the next year’s travel team. Then you have a couple weeks off and you go to training indoor for travel and for high school. You’re basically going 10 to 11 months out of the year.

We’re asking our growing, developing athletes to do more than we ask fully mature adults who get paid to do this for a living. There’s something wrong with that picture.

In 46 years of athletic training, I’ve never come across an athlete who said, “Coach, take me out. I’ve done too much.” It’s up to the coaches and the parents. I tell parents, if your kid has an injury, this is your kid. You tell the coach how much he’s going to pitch. If the coach doesn’t like it, then maybe you shouldn’t be on that team. This is your child.

Dr. Preston Wolin and I spoke to the IHSA Sports Medicine Society about this four years ago. They said, yeah, we need to do something about it. But when we talked to the coaches about it, they said, “Oh no. It’s not really a problem.

It’s not our fault. It’s the travel coaches’

If people are interested, Dr. Andrews has established criteria for pitch counts and rest days at http:// www.andrewsinstitute.com/InjuryPrevention/Baseball/. The Professional Baseball Athletic Trainers Society also has information on this subject at mlb. com/pitchsmart.

Do you think the IHSA needs to take further steps to establish clear criteria, such as a pitch count?

Why do you think a pitch count is important?

Where can people find more information about protecting their athletes?

6 McHENRY COUNTY TRACK AND FIELD MEET PREVIEW

Harvard’s Stricker favorite in girls 400 Hornets coach hopes she walks on at Wisconsin

By JOE STEVENSON

joestevenson@shawmedia.com Harvard senior Sophie Stricker will keep hearing the sales pitch from Hornets girls track and field coach Casey Seyller for a few more weeks.

Seyller wants Stricker to walk on to Sophie Wisconsin’s women’s Stricker team next year when she attends the Madison school.

“She wants to, she’s a little afraid to, she doesn’t think she has it,” Seyller said. “I talk to her all the time about walking on. She’s so strong. She can

do even better in college with coaches focusing on her stride and form.”

Stricker is the decisive favorite in the 400 meters at the McHenry County Track and Field Meet, which starts at 4 p.m. Thursday at Huntley with field events finals. Running events start at 5 p.m. Friday.

Stricker is the defending champion in the girls 200 and 400. She was the first girls county champion from Harvard that Seyller could remember in his 14 years at the school.

At last week’s Ed Reeves Invitational at Marengo, Stricker ran the 400 in 1:00.5. They hope she will reach the 59 range Friday.

“The season’s gone pretty well so far and I feel more confident after the last few meets I’ve had that I’ll be able to run the times I want,” said Stricker, who will run in the 100, 200 and 400.

Stricker embraces the 400, a race many athletes dread because it’s a full-out sprint for an entire lap.

“I like that no one really likes it, that it’s hard,” Stricker said. “Just knowing that I can finish it and it’s a hard race to run makes me feel accom-

County meet at a glance When: 4 p.m. Thursday for field events; 5 p.m. Friday for running events Where: Huntley’s Harmony Road Campus Stadium Competing schools (boys and girls): Alden-Hebron, Cary-Grove, Crystal Lake Central, Crystal Lake South, Harvard, Huntley, Jacobs, Johnsburg, Marengo, Marian Central, McHenry, Prairie Ridge, Richmond-Burton, Woodstock and Woodstock North Defending team champions: CaryGrove girls, Huntley boys plished. Over the years, I’ve worked on running my first 200 (in the 400) faster because I don’t always come out as fast and I like to kick at the end. I work on getting out faster to have a faster race.”

Seyller thinks Stricker is positioned right where she needs to be.

“Her kick is unreal, and her starts

are a lot better,” Seyller said. “We just have to get a little bit more endurance in her, and that’s coming. I’m really happy with where she’s at. She looks good; she’s healthy. As long as she stays healthy, I think she’ll beat her time from last year.”

Stricker finished sixth in the 400 last year at the Class 2A state meet with a 58.26, her fastest time, which beat her own school record. Natalie Bannwolf had the old record at 58.8 before last year.

“I’m excited that I broke the 400 school record. That was my goal going into high school, and I finally broke it,” Stricker said. “That was really exciting for me.”

Stricker plans to major in business at Wisconsin. She considered running in college but liked Wisconsin so much and was uncertain she could compete at that level. Seyller will continue trying to sell the girl he considers Harvard’s best girls sprinter ever on competing for the Badgers.

“If she walked on, and they gave her a chance, they’d be surprised at how well she can do,” Seyller said.

Petersen, and the defense was able to stifle the Blue Streaks, who have been shut out one other time all season. A tough stretch of four games in four days includes an FVC crossover against Cary-Grove on Wednesday, an FVC Fox match against Grayslake Central on Thursday and a crossover against Jacobs on Friday.

NOTEWORTHY Thunder earn first two wins: Woodstock North was winless through its first seven games but in the past week picked up a pair of wins, including a conference victory. The Thunder’s first victory came Saturday at the DeKalb Barbfest tournament with two goals each from Daniela Miranda and Taylor Prerost along with a score from Lauren Kunke and six saves from Anicca Mackay-Slavin helped them to a 5-1 win over Hinckley Big Rock. On Tuesday, Miranda’s overtime goal gave the Thunder a 2-1 FVC Fox Division win over Hampshire.

Dorn keeps scoring: Woodstock freshman Emma Dorn’s torrid goal-scoring form has not slowed down as the season has gone on. The freshman netted four goals and added three assists in a pair of games Saturday as Woodstock finished first at the Genoa-Kingston Tournament. Despite being shut out in the conference opener Tuesday, the weekend performance gave Dorn 15 goals and eight assists in 11 games thus far.

THIS WEEK’S TOP GAMES Johnsburg at Richmond-Burton, 4:30 p.m. Monday The last time these two rivals met it took a penalty shootout to separate them after a scoreless regulation and overtime. Johnsburg won the first meeting on home turf. This time the Rockets get a chance for revenge at their place.

Cary-Grove at Crystal Lake South, 4:30 p.m. Tuesday Two top FVC Valley contenders meet with the winner taking the driver’s seat as the top challenger to Huntley. It will be C-G’s conference opener while the Gators are already 1-0.

NORTHWEST HERALD POWER RANKINGS 1. Huntley (9-2-1): The Red Raiders finally dropped a game, snapping an eight-game winning streak, but still went 2-1 on the week.

Their penalty-shootout win over Downers Grove North on Thursday sent them into the final of the PepsiCo Showdown’s Gatorade bracket, where they will face Bartlett at 3:15 p.m. Sunday at Illinois Tech in Chicago. On Monday, Taryn Jakubowski had a goal and an assist to lead the Red Raiders in a nonconference win over Marian Central. Huntley doesn’t start Fox Valley Conference Valley Division play until Tuesday.

2. Crystal Lake South (8-5, 1-0 FVC Valley): The Gators had a rough go in their PepsiCo Showdown bracket, losing twice last week to close out the tournament, but they rebounded with a big win Tuesday to open conference play.

The Gators got a pair of goals from Courtney Sengstock and one from Jess Schoenfeldt to beat Jacobs in their FVC Valley opener. They are at Dundee-Crown on Thursday.

3. Johnsburg (9-1-2, 7-1 BNC East): The Skyhawks went 3-0-1 the past week and are undefeated in their past seven games.

NHL suspends Blackhawks’ Shaw for Game 5 after anti-gay slur CHICAGO – As he watched the video, Blackhawks forward Andrew Shaw realized exactly what he did.

“It was hard to see,” he said. “Emotions got the best of me.”

The NHL suspended Shaw for one game Wednesday for yelling an anti-gay slur from the penalty box and fined him $5,000 for an inappropriate gesture toward the officials during the Hawks’ Game 4 loss to the St. Louis Blues on Tuesday night.

Shaw will miss Game 5 Thursday in St. Louis, and he will be required to undergo sensitivity training.

The league’s punishment came after Shaw apologized for his outburst the previous night.

Speaking quietly for a few minutes before the team left for St. Louis, Shaw said he couldn’t sleep after the game and watching video of his outburst was difficult.

“I’ll never use that word again, that’s for sure. ... That’s not the type of guy I am,” he said.

Shaw was sent off for interference at 17:56 of the third period in what ended up being a 4-3 loss. While sitting in the box, he pounded on the glass with his stick and then yelled at someone on the ice. As video of the incident spread online, the You Can Play project swiftly tweeted it was planning to contact the NHL.

CARDINALS 5, CUBS 3

Sale dominates again in win Cubs’ late comeback falls short

By GORDON WITTENMYER

By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN CHICAGO – Chris Sale is diversifying, and if that translates into fewer strikeouts, more innings and more wins, so be it.

Following a complete game shutout with seven innings of one-run ball, the White Sox’s franchise record holder for strikeouts in a season fanned only three Los Angeles Angels on Wednesday afternoon but carried the Sox to a 2-1 victory at U.S. Cellular Field.

Sale walked none, allowed two hits and improved to 4-0 while lowering his ERA to 1.80 and helping the Sox (10-5) to their second straight win and the best team start of his career. The run, scored in the eighth with closer David Robertson setting out for a four-out save, was unearned.

By changing speeds on all of his pitches, Sale’s three-pitch repertoire of fastball, slider and changeup has evolved into five or six offerings.

“It’s good to see,” catcher Alex Avila said.

“He’s always trying to get better, and I’m maybe trying to bring a little different perspective for him and see if he can make it a special season.”

Avila pointed to an at-bat by Angels leadoff man Yunel Escobar when Sale attacked the strike zone early in his sequence with mid-90s fastballs inside, then “backed off with a 90-mph sinker that caught him a little out in front.”

No strikeout for the ace left-hander, but Escobar grounded out to shortstop Tyler Saladino.

“That’s pitching,” Avila said. “He’s going to get his strikeouts. We’re not worried about that. It’s a matter of him being more efficient. He knows when to take off his fastball, and get back on it a little. Same thing with his breaking ball, throw it at two different speeds and at different angles. One for a strike, one for a strikeout.”

T–2:59. A–12,785 (40,615).

Angels star Mike Trout had the only two hits against Sale, both singles.

“You get one pitch to hit,” Trout said. “You miss it, he’ll put you in a hole. He’s throwing his fastball from like 90 to 97. As a hitter, it’s tough on you, because you visualize a fastball in your head, and if he takes 3, 4 miles off that heater, it comes out a little slower and gets your timing all messed up.”

Tyler Saladino homered in the first inning against Garrett Richards, and Avila doubled and scored when Richards fielded Austin Jackson’s bunt and made a wild throw to first in the fifth.

In their ongoing battle to score, the Sox wasted opportunities to widen the lead in the second, third, fifth and sixth innings. They were 0-for-9 with runners in scoring position, putting more on Sale’s back.

ST. LOUIS – The Cubs couldn’t beat Mother Nature or the Cardinals on Wednesday at Busch Stadium.

But after enduring a 3-hour, 21-minute rain delay, followed by an eighth-inning comeback that fell short, the Cubs headed out of St. Louis with swagger intact after winning two of three games in the tone-setting series against the defending division champions.

“I don’t know if it’s a tone-setter,” Cubs starter Kyle Hendricks said after Wednesday’s 5-3 loss to the Cardinals that took 6 hours, 1 minute to complete from first pitch to last.

“I think we have so much confidence in ourselves this year that we’re just taking any opponent the same way,” he said, “and it doesn’t really matter who it is. Even if it’s the Cardinals, we have confidence going in against everybody.”

That may sound fairly routine, especially for a team that’s off to the second-best start in the majors (11-4) as it heads to Cincinnati for a four-game series. But it’s no small thing for a group that 10 and 11 months ago couldn’t seem to close out a game in this city, regardless of how well it played.

“It’s definitely different now than it was last year,” said first baseman Anthony Rizzo, who drove in two runs with a fourth-inning homer and eighth-inning single – after watching Cards center fielder Randal Grichuk reach over the wall to rob him of a homer in the first.

“Especially getting off to this start that we’re on,” Rizzo said. “To come and win two of three – they’re the division champs for, it feels like, 10 years in a row. It goes through them. It goes through Pittsburgh. …”

And it goes without saying right now that the Cubs are backing up a lot of the offseason hype through these first five series of the season. None of

those series was more significant, at least symbolically, than this one, after the way the Cubs’ signaled a potential power shift in the National League Central with last year’s playoff series victory over the Cards.

Until Wednesday, the Cubs had won 11 of 15 against the Cardinals (counting the postseason), after losing eight of their first 10 against them last year.

“It really dovetails, and validates, what we talked a lot about last year,” manager Joe Maddon said of the difference between losing all those early games against this team last year and winning this series in April. “In the beginning of last year they out-experienced us. We played a lot of good games here early, and then gave them up late, and they got us.”

STANLEY CUP PLAYOFFS ROUNDUP

NBA PLAYOFFS ROUNDUP

Flyers avoid sweep LeBron leads Cavs The ASSOCIATED PRESS PHILADELPHIA – Michal Neuvirth stopped 31 shots in his first start of the playoff series, helping the Philadelphia Flyers stave off a sweep with a 2-1 win over the Washington Capitals on Wednesday night.

Shayne Gostisbehere and Andrew MacDonald each scored for the Flyers.

Neuvirth was sensational in the third after T.J. Oshie scored early in the period to make it 2-1. The Capitals still have never swept a best-of-seven playoff series.

Panthers 2, Islanders 1: At New York, Alex Petrovic scored the tiebreaking goal midway through the third period, and Florida beat New York to even their firstround playoff series at two games apiece.

Teddy Purcell also scored for Florida, and Jaromir Jagr had an assist for his 200th career playoff point. Roberto Luongo stopped 26 shots.

The Panthers got their first playoff road win since April 17, 2012, against New Jersey in Game 3 of the first round.

Stars 3, Wild 2: At St. Paul, Minnesota, Jason Spezza scored the go-ahead goal with his skate, Ales Hemsky and Patrick Eaves each scored on a second-period power play to give Dallas’ lagging special teams a lift, and the Stars defeated Minnesota to push their series lead to 3-1.

The Stars will host Game 5 Friday in Dallas.

Sharks 3, Kings 2: At San Jose, California, Brent Burns and Joe Pavelski scored power-play goals in the second period, and San Jose again moved to the brink of eliminating Los Angeles from the playoffs with a victory in Game 4 to take a 3-1 lead in their first-round series.

The ASSOCIATED PRESS

CLEVELAND – LeBron James scored 27 points, J.R. Smith made seven of Cleveland’s NBA playoff record-tying 20 3-pointers, and the Cavaliers opened a 2-0 lead in their series with a 107-90 victory over the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday night.

The top-seeded Cavs put away the upand-coming Pistons in the third quarter, outscoring them 27-15 to protect homecourt advantage.

There was nothing easy about their first two wins, and the Cavs, favored to win the Eastern Conference and return to the finals, will have their work cut out when the best-of-seven series resumes Friday night at Detroit.

Kyrie Irving added 22 points for Cleveland, which went 20 of 38 on 3s and tied the postseason record shared

by Golden State (2015), Dallas (2011) and Seattle (1996).

Heat 115, Hornets 103: At Miami, Dwyane Wade had 28 points and eight assists, Hassan Whiteside made all eight of his shots and finished with 17 points, and Miami beat Charlotte to take a 2-0 lead in the Eastern Conference first-round series.

Goran Dragic scored 18 points, Luol Deng had 16, Josh Richardson finished with 15 and Whiteside grabbed 13 rebounds for Miami.

Clippers 102, Trail Blazers 81: At Los Angeles, Chris Paul scored 25 points, J.J. Redick added 17, and Los Angeles pulled away in the fourth quarter to beat Portland and take a 2-0 lead in their firstround playoff series.

Damian Lillard and Mason Plumlee led the Blazers with 17 points each.

Nor Norman was found as a stray kitten with his brother Harry in 2012. A kin kind person took them in and then brought them to us. Norman was shy so he didn't get adopted like his brother. He has come a long way since the then. He is a sweet boy and when he knows you he will sit on your lap and roll around while you pet his tummy.You can usually find him up hig high or in the catio for fresh air and sunshine. If you don't have a catio he would be happy in a sunny window. He gets along really well with the other cats so he could be in a home with other cats or he could be ado adopted with one of his buddies. He is a very handsome boy with his big gr green eyes, soft pink nose and gray stripes on his head, back and tail. He's go got a soft snow white face, chest, legs and stomach.....he's just too cute.

“MARY PAGE MARLOWE”

Premiere ‘Mary Page Marlowe’ memorable at Steppenwolf Theater REVIEWS Regina M. Belt-Daniels

In the second vignette of Steppenwolf’s world premiere production of “Mary Page Marlowe,” a college friend interprets Mary’s moon card as “things are not what they appear,” and that perhaps neatly summarizes this character play best.

Pulitzer and Tony Award-winning Steppenwolf ensemble member Tracy Letts is the playwright (probably best known for “August: Osage County”). The 85-minute play captivates with humor and sensitivity from beginning to end.

Somewhat reminiscent of a Harold Pinter play, “Mary Page Marlowe” travels back and forth in a non-linear chronology to illustrate the moments in character Mary Page Marlowe’s life – both the mundane and the transformative moments.

Writing from a personal premise that we all are different people at different times in our lives, Letts has given the audience an intimate portrayal of an ordinary, complicated woman from infancy to age 69.

Artistic Director Anna D. Shapiro, working again in collaboration with Letts, has assembled a spectacular 18-member

cast. Six different actresses portray Mary Page Marlowe, making for a unique theatrical experience, and they all are very talented. (There were to be seven actresses, but the real-life baby was exchanged for a doll after preview audiences registered distress about the scene’s parental screaming.)

The strongest of portrayals flawlessly are enacted by Blair Brown (“Days and Nights of Molly Dodd,” “Orange is the New Black”) and Rebecca Spence (“Chicago Fire,” “Boss”). To be fair, they are given the most stage time, but these two actresses believably and sincerely perform the challenges, hopes, comedy, humanity and identifiable reflections of Marlowe’s Ohio life.

Only six males are integral to the enfolding of Mary Page Marlowe’s life, and, of the six actors, two stand out. Alan Wilder is Andy, her third husband, and he is adorable – he shows Mary the mysterious intricacies of the TV remote as well as provides her with the much anticipated news of her freedom (sorry – no spoilers).

Ian Barford, as Ray, gives a truly heartbreaking, emotive rage as Mary’s second husband; Barford’s brief time onstage will shake your comfort level.

Both the costumes by Linda Roethke and the set design by Todd Rosenthal are unintrusive, functional and contemporary

WHEN: Through May 29 WHERE: Steppenwolf Theater, 1650 N. Halsted St., Chicago COST & INFO: An American sign language interpretation showing is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. May 8. Running time is 85 minutes, with no intermission. Tickets: $20-89. Tickets and information: 312-3351650 or www.steppenwolf.org. for whichever time period is occurring.

They all blend and meld well; the set pieces slide in and out smoothly on tracks from both sides of the stage. The transitions of Mary Page Marlowe’s ages also are aided by the music of Diana Lawrence and the visual scrim projections of Sven Ortel.

Despite the excellence of this piece, the ending of “Mary Page Marlowe” is abrupt and frustrating. In all likelihood, it is because this is the type of memorable play you wish could go on just a little bit longer. There are definite loose ends that need to be tied; sure, you can surmise what’s happened from the previous dialogue and missing characters, but in a play the audience really isn’t sure has ended, “Mary Page Marlowe” turning to the audience and stating, “I’ve got this,” seems a cheat.

With the stage going black, you are left in the dark.

Raue’s in-house theater company goes pro, expands productions editorial@nwherald.com

Crystal Lake’s Raue Center for the Arts is expanding its summer programming for one simple reason: To keep up with consumer demand.

Patrons have been clamoring for more, and Raue Center is ready to deliver, said Richard Kuranda, executive director.

What exactly does “more” entail?

More outdoor programs, more theater, more big-name acts – all available in the heart of McHenry County.

“When Raue Center first came into being 15 years ago, [it] didn’t do any programming in the summer – it essentially took the summer off,” said Melissa Thomfohrda, director of marketing.

But in the summer of 2014, Williams Street Repertory – Raue Center’s in-house theater company – produced “Suds,” and the jukebox musical was a smash hit.

“We didn’t know what to expect, and it really took off. It was probably one of the most successful shows they had done up to that point,” Thomfohrda said. “Since then, we’ve been trying to program more and more [summer activities]. It’s a lot of programming, but there’s a little something for everyone, so I think we’ll see a good turnout.”

Now in its sixth season, Williams Street Repertory has a contract with the Actors Equity Association, a labor union representing about 50,000 actors and stage managers, making it the only professional theater company in McHenry County. The contract places Williams Street Rep under the same designation as Chicago-based theaters such as Steppenwolf, Theatre WIT and Victory Gardens Theatre. Its upcoming season reflects that step forward.

June

To kick off its summer programs, Raue Center will host an inaugural Williams Street Festival: In part a concert, in part a fundraiser for Williams Street Repertory.

Modern Day Romeos, a popular Chicago-area cover/party band, will headline the free outdoor festival on June 4, and Kuranda expects between 2,000 and 4,000 patrons.

Raue Center’s annual gala, the Stargazer’s Ball, will move from its traditional fall slot to June 24, specifically so the celebration can take place outside.

Hosted at Bull Valley Country Club, the red, white and blue theme will fit in nicely with the outdoor venue, Kuranda said.

The next night, on June 25, rock legend Jim Peterik will grace the stage

of Raue Center as a solo act, performing as part of Raue’s annual National Piano Conference. Peterik, who founded the band Survivor, still is touring with his band, Ides of March, a regional favorite group best known for its horn-driven classic “Vehicle,” Kuranda said.

Throughout the month, several area dance companies will host their year reviews at Raue Center.

“Most studios don’t have enough space to hold all the people who want to come see the kids do their thing,” Thomfohrda said. “It’s kind of a cool time at the theater. We’ve got all these local people and community members coming in to watch [our] local dancers.”

Williams Street Rep closes season with classic ‘Death of a Salesman’

July

In July, Williams Street Repertory will produce an inaugural TheatreFest at Raue Center. Multiple shows – Yasmina Reza’s Pulitzer Prize and Tony award-winning comedy “ART,” the hit Broadway musical “[title of show]” and award-winning playwright Jeff Sweet in “You Only Shoot the Ones You Love” – will run simultaneously for the first time.

The fest will run July 8 through August 6 with two main stage shows rotating dates on Raue Center’s stage.

In the midst of the rotating shows, Williams Street Repertory Comedy will host late night comedy routines on select Saturdays in July, with 10 p.m. curtains.

Locations will be determined at a later date.

Two ancillary acts will round out Theater Fest, including a late-month visit from comic Louie Anderson and a comedic performance by Jeff Sweet of New York.

August and beyond

For more than seven years, Raue Center has tried to collaborate with contemporary Christian singer/songwriter Michael W. Smith.

On Aug. 20, Smith finally will debut on the Raue Center stage.

“He’s an icon,” Kuranda said. “He’s sold 15 million albums; the guy is just prolific.”

“We think it’s a really eclectic way to spend the summer,” Kuranda said of the new programming. “You can spread it out over several weekends if you want.”

The season also will include Steve Martin’s comedy “Picasso at the Lapin Agile,” “The Rocky Horror Picture Show,” “A Christmas Survival Guide,” “First Date” and “Any Other Name.”

And the season will close with the hit Broadway musical “Guys and Dolls,” opening April 21, 2017.

NORTHWEST HERALD Williams Street Repertory closes its 2015-2016 season with Arthur Miller’s Pulitzer Prize-winning story of a man at the end of his rope. First produced in 1949, “Death of a Salesman,” opening April 22 at the Raue Center for the Arts in Crystal Lake, firmly established Miller’s reputation as one of the premiere American playwrights.

A modern tragedy, the play follows 24 hours in the life of Willy Loman, a 63-year-old traveling salesman, who for 36 years has sold his wares all over New England. Miller utilizes Loman’s disillusionment with his life and career as a means to measure the enormous gap between the American Dream’s promise of success and the devastating reality of the consequences of falling short.

“I’m excited to finally be directing this piece,” said founding artistic director Richard Kuranda, who knew playwright Arthur Miller personally and considers him a mentor.

“He was always honest with me as a young artist, and I learned a

great deal from him,” Kuranda said.

“I first met him while painting a sign at Signature Theatre on 42nd Street in NYC. A 10-minute exchange evolved into an eight-year relationship. He helped me identify my artistic and producing voice, which I raised to champion new playwrights like Lin Manuel Miranda [‘In The Heights,’ ‘Hamilton’], Sam Hunter, Melody Cooper and JT Rogers.”

“Arthur was an amazing artist who tirelessly worked to protect the core values of American Life in and out of the theater...” Kuranda said.

“He saw inequity in the world and sought to shine a light on it through his work.”

“Death of a Salesman” has received a Tony Award, a New York Drama Critics Circle Award and a Pulitzer Prize, as well as being adapted for film and television. “Death of a Salesman” widely is recognized as Miller’s masterpiece and frequently is listed as one of the canonical works of American drama. The production runs through May 15. Tickets cost $32.50-$38.50 at 815-356-9212 or www. rauecenter.org.

She expects to draw 750 to 1,000 people to the event, which also will feature food vendors from Duke’s Alehouse, Buddyz Pizzeria, BBQ King Smokehouse and Cary Ale House & Brewing Co. Those who attend can take part in additional activities, such as Beer Trivia, ping pong and more.

UNION – The McHenry County Historical Society Museum will mark its 40th year April 29 with a celebration of an American staple: beer.

To mark the resurgence of independent craft breweries to the county, the society has created an exhibit that chronicles the history of local brewing and taverns. The exhibit will feature current local craft breweries, as well as historic breweries from the county’s past. “Bottles, Barrels & Brews: McHenry County on Tap” features historic photographs and murals, old beer bottles, beer crates, barrels and other items related to McHenry County’s historic breweries – including a recreated speakeasy dubbed the Bubbling Over.

Cole Peterson, leader of the Citizen League of McHenry County during the Prohibition era, knew all too well about the goings-on inside the Bubbling Over roadhouse. Located on the north side of Route 14 (then Route 19), just east of the intersection with Dunham Road, it was the most infamous speakeasy in McHenry County during Prohibition – notorious for its availability of liquor and beer, and frequented by “sporting” women and scandalous jazz music.

Peterson, a Woodstock dairy farmer portrayed during the museum exhibit opening by local historian Craig Pfannkuche, strongly favors Prohibition. He and other league members raided and destroyed many illegal stills. That prompted a retaliatory bomb blast in 1928 by what the Sycamore “True Republican” characterized as “gangland hirelings from Chicago.”

According to news accounts, the blast “tore away most of the front” of the Peterson farmhouse, just west of the Pioneer Cemetery on South Street, and “broke windows for several blocks around.”

Peterson, who safely was in the rear of the house at the time, pledged to redouble his efforts. And that will include a visit to the Bubbling Over April 29 during the McHenry County Historical Society Museum’s (www.gothistory.org) grand opening, scheduled from 6 to 9 p.m. Winning over converts to his cause will be a tall order.

The event will feature a mix-andmingle open house with local craft beer tastings, live music by Tony Amber, snacks, a beer bonanza raffle basket and new exhibits.

Those who attend can learn about Jacob C. Bickler’s McHenry House. Before 1920, the McHenry House hotel was a major outlet for the wares of the McHenry Brewery, located just west on Pearl Street.

The building, now standing on the northwest corner of Pearl Street and Riverside Drive in McHenry, was built in 1838. The core of the building originally was erected about where McHenry’s Veterans Park is located. For a short time before Woodstock became the county seat, the building served as the county’s first courthouse. Once the county seat was relocated to Woodstock (Centerville) in 1844, the building was moved to the west side of the original natural ford of the Fox River.

Horace Long, the new owner, remodeled the building into a hotel in the 1860s and called it the “Mansion House.”

It is probable the bar at the McHenry House continued to serve liquor throughout the 1920s based on the fact Bickler was arrested for Prohibition violations by federal officials on Sept. 3, 1927, along with numerous other individuals. The charges against Bickler later were dismissed after the prosecution’s case was tainted by the disappearance of Alford Pouse, then McHenry County state’s attorney. Bickler retired from managing the McHenry House in 1939. The building still functions as a tavern under the name of the Town Club.

Other items of interest at the museum exhibit include local craft brewery memorabilia and souvenirs, an interactive smell station with brewing ingredients and a family-friendly root beer section where kids can try a bottle-capper and learn about the history of root beer. Ingredients in early root beers – as well as today – included sarsaparilla, sassafras root, vanilla beans and hops.

As for craft beer, while traditional ingredients such as malted barley are used, it is the non-traditional elements – from nuts to nutmeg – that give the beers their distinctive flavor and have allowed small and independent craft brewers to capture 12 percent of the American market. The

Colorado-based Brewers Association trade group that represents those brewers, credited innovation with helping boost popularity of the product.

In 2015, craft brewers produced 24 million barrels, up 12.8 percent from the previous year. It’s $22.3 billion in sales marked a 15 percent increase. Illinois’ 157 craft breweries produced 595,237 barrels of product in 2015, 13th best in the country, but its nearly $2.3 million in economic impact ranked it sixth nationwide.

“With a strong presence across the 50 states and the District of Columbia, craft breweries are a vibrant and flourishing economic force at the local, state and national level,” association economist Bart Watson said in a written statement.

“As consumers continue to demand a wide range of high quality, full-flavored beers, small and independent craft brewers are meeting this growing demand with innovative offerings, creating high levels of economic value in the process.”

American Craft Beer Week is May 16-27.

By LINDSEY BAHR The Associated Press

“The Huntsman: Winter’s War” is one of the more bizarre sequels in recent memory. If modern movies are going to strip every side story out of every superhero universe and beyond, fairy tales should be fair game too. But, it’s more than a little odd that the filmmakers here decided to follow up their feminist reimagining of the Snow White story with one focused on Eric the Huntsman (Chris Hemsworth) and the jilted, hysterical woman (Emily Blunt’s Freya) who is trying to keep him apart from his true love (Jessica Chastain’s Sara). If this is progress, count me out.

Part prequel, part sequel to “Snow White and the Huntsman,” this one plays musical chairs with focus and tone. One moment, it’s a bawdy, slapstick comedy. The next, it’s a deathly serious fantasy epic. Tonal shifts are fine, but this star-studded nonsense feels like it was put together by a committee of robots who were given copies of “Frozen,” “Game of Thrones,” “The Chronicles of Narnia” and five minutes of “Snow White and the Huntsman” as source material.

There are about a dozen competing story lines, the only point of which seems to be a futile effort to continually reinvent and justify its reason for being.

This film starts before the events of the first. The evil Ravenna (a luminous Charlize Theron) is alive, glowing, glaring and still talking about taking down men and kingdoms. She wants her

“THE HUNTSMAN: WINTER’S WAR” STARRING: Chris Hemsworth, Jessica Chastain, Charlize Theron PLOT: As a war between rival queen sisters Ravenna and Freya escalates, Eric and fellow warrior Sara, members of the Huntsmen army raised to protect Freya, try to conceal their forbidden love as they combat Ravenna’s wicked intentions.

RATED: PG-13 for fantasy action violence and some sensuality RUNNING TIME: 1 hour, 54 minutes good-natured sister Freya (Blunt) to fall in line too, but that only happens when Freya’s heart is broken and her icy powers are unleashed. So she retreats to a frozen enclave in the north (sound familiar?). If she can’t raise children, she’ll raise an army from childhood ... and also ban them from experiencing love.

But two of those child soldiers, Sara and Eric, grow into handsome adults and, well, fall in love – or so we’re told.

Chastain and Hemsworth are fine on their own, but together their chemistry fizzles. Hemsworth, in particular, can’t seem to get out of Thor mode. He can do the high-wattage smile and the goofy aside just fine. The gaze of desperate love and longing? Not in his arsenal.

Freya is, of course, none too happy about Sara and Eric’s romance and schemes to keep them apart. The story jumps ahead seven years, after Snow

White (whose back is seen only briefly) has defeated Ravenna. The pesky golden mirror has driven Snow mad, and essentially becomes The One Ring that everyone wants. Eric, who has picked up some comic relief little people along the way, is out to get it before Freya does.

Confused yet? There are so many twists and turns it’s hard to know what exactly is an actual spoiler and who exactly might care. In fact, it’s hard to know who this movie is for at all. It’s both too adult for kids and too cartoony for the “Game of Thrones” crowd.

Colleen Atwood’s costumes still look like a dream – especially Blunt’s glimmering gowns – but gone are the sweeping landscapes and gothic beauty of Rupert Sanders’ film. For such a bombastic title, “Winter’s War,” the feature debut of visual effects specialist Cedric Nicolas-Troyan, feels awfully small compared to its predecessor. The budget seems to have been wasted on its stars, who aren’t even together all that much.

When they are, it’s to execute action sequences.

There is a decent movie buried in here somewhere, but with such powerhouse actresses it’s dismaying it feels so regressive from the first. Snow White had some agency. Here the ladies are props and stereotypes and always one heartbreak away from madness.

It makes you wonder why, in the name of the Brothers Grimm, anyone would have put this purportedly femalecentric story in the hands a co-screenwriter best known for “The Hangover” sequels.

‘Nina’ issues more than skin-deep

By JAKE COYLE

The Associated Press The questionable casting of Zoe Saldana is only one of the many problems with Cynthia Mort’s limp and misjudged Nina Simone biopic “Nina.” Little of the High Priestess of Soul’s searing clarity of voice or profound struggle comes through in this insipid film whose fakeness is writ across Saldana’s dubiously darkened skin.

“Please take Nina’s name out of your mouth.

For the rest of your life” was the harsh judgment laid on Saldana by Simone’s estate. Bitter battles over to whom an artist belongs are seldom good for anyone. But it’s reasonable to question whether Simone’s story should be in the hands of those who would employ black face to capture a proudly dark-skinned woman.

It should be said: It’s no easy task to gather the multitudes within Simone into a feature film. She was, like her music, unclassifiable.

The classically trained pianist was termed a jazz singer and a soul diva, but she’s been most identified as a folk singer. As if another form of resistance in a life full of it, her career refused to bend to the typical arc found in music biopics.

She had only one top 20 single (her first, 1959’s “I Loves You, Porgy”) and spent much of her later life in self-imposed exile in Barbados, Liberia and France.

Why Mort, who wrote and directed the film, has chosen to focus on Simone’s troubled 1990s period in France is anyone’s guess. It allows for a fiery kind of redemption story, going from heavy drinking and medical meltdown to a triumphant Central Park performance. But the film is a sloppy stitching of lethargic scenes between Simone and her assistant, Clifton (a sleepy David Oyelowo), in a French Riviera villa. Arguments over taking pills are possibly the least dramatic or important moments in a life that pulsed with and provided the impassioned tempo to the civil rights movement.

An increasingly unhinged Simone meets Clifton in a Los Angeles hospital where she has landed after pulling a gun on a record executive.

“NINA” STARRING: Zoe Saldana, David Oyelowo, Kevin Mambo PLOT: The story of the late jazz musician and classical pianist Nina Simone including her rise to fame and relationship with her manager Clifton Henderson.

RATED: PG-13 RUNNING TIME: 1 hour, 30 minutes Clifton, a sympathetic nurse whose awareness of Simone is limited to his mother’s vinyl collection, catches her eye. She plops down a wad of cash and tells him to accompany her to France as her personal assistant.

The majority of the film plays out between Simone and Clifton, as he tries to clean her up and get her back on the stage. The scenes are almost hermetically sealed, with few other characters of note and scant political or musical context to Simone’s rich story. The deep rage and sorrow of “Mississippi Goddamn” is nowhere to be found here.

Saldana, of “Avatar” and “Guardians of the Galaxy,” curiously varies her accent in flashback and present day scenes. In numerous song performances she sounds professional enough, but lacks any hint of Simone’s power or gravity.

(Simone was in her 60s during the majority of “Nina.”)

Seek out instead Liz Garbus’ 2015 documentary “What Happened, Miss Simone?” which knows enough not to simplify the complex Simone. Or pull up the footage that finished that film on YouTube: an extended performance of Simone singing “I Wish I Knew How it Would Feel to be Free.”

There, in just over three glorious minutes, is so much more of Simone’s essence. With the band locked in groove and the crowd chanting “Because I know,” she – in full thrall to the music – slides out from the piano, bobs her head, claps her hands frenetically, shakes her body and shouts.

KLM Builders Announces the Grand Opening ‘KLM Kitchens, Baths & Floors’ Showroom

Conveniently located on U.S. Route 12, the showroom will offer homeowners a chance to see the high-end fixtures and finishes that will allow them to envision their completed remodel. Plus, an on-site design center will help homeowners map out their entire project from start to finish.

SPRING GROVE, Ill. - Undertaking a kitchen or bathroom remodeling job can be an overwhelming experience – but if you do it “right,” it can make a big difference in the value and livability of your home. Now, KLM Builders’ remodeling division is making it easier than ever for homeowners to make just the right selections for their kitchen and bath remodels without the hassle of running from one supplier to another. The company has just opened the KLM Kitchens, Baths

& Floors showroom on Route 12 in Spring Grove, designed to showcase all the finishes, fixtures, flooring and other components homeowners could possibly need for a top-of-the-line kitchen or bath remodel – all in one, easy-to-shop location.

Why Kitchens and Baths?

Everyone knows that when it comes to investing your remodeling dollar, kitchen and bath makeovers will give you the biggest bang for your buck.

In fact, a recent survey by Remodeling found bathrooms and kitchens continue to be at the top of the list when it comes to adding home value and recouping that value when it’s time to sell. According to the survey’s results, bath and kitchen remodels return a whopping 75 percent – or more

– on your dollars spent when it’s time to put your home on the market. And if you don’t plan to sell any time soon? They’re still tops when it comes to adding enjoyment and improving your own quality of life.

With so many selections for cabinets, countertops, fixtures, appliances and finishes, choosing the materials and components that will work well together and enhance your unique space can be a complex task.

But despite the obvious advantages of kitchen and bath remodels, making improvements in these two areas can be especially daunting:

The new KLM showroom is a onestop-shop to help homeowners make all of the difficult decisions a lot easier by providing them an opportunity

In fact, KLM Remodeling has a reputation for their design skills, helping homeowners transform their dreams from vague concepts to concrete realities. They can work with you on your own designs – whether they’re in a neatly organized folder or scratched on the back of a paper towel – or suggest ideas you may never have thought of to make your spaces not only functional, but uniquely beautiful, too. If all you have is a blank slate, that’s OK too – they’ll use their design software to walk you through the remodel process, helping you understand all your options and showing you what your new space will look like when it’s completed. Taking advantage of KLM’s design experience will ensure that your space is created specifically for your needs.

Not Just Kitchens and Baths While the showroom focuses on lots of materials designed for kitchen and

READER NOTICE:

Jacob Bronowski, the mastermind behind the extraordinary “Ascent of Man” series, said, “Knowledge is an unending adventure at the edge of uncertainty.”

In bridge, though, sometimes knowledge will allow someone to play with certainty -- as in this deal.

How should South play in three notrump after West leads the spade queen?

South saw that he had seven top tricks: two spades, two diamonds and three clubs. It looked so easy to establish the extra two winners in diamonds. So, after winning the first trick with his spade king, he cashed the diamond ace ... and suddenly the contract was unmakable.

Declarer did the best he could by crossing to the dummy with a club to the 10 and leading a low heart toward his hand, but East had seen this position before. He rose with his king and, when he won the trick, returned a spade to establish his partner’s suit while West still had an entry in the heart ace.

That was well defended, but South had a safety play to make his contract a certainty.

At trick two, he leads the diamond three from his hand, planning to cover West’s card with dummy’s 10 (or taking the queen with the king).

Here, though, West would discard a club. Now declarer still finesses the 10. East takes the trick and returns a spade, but South wins, plays a club to dummy’s 10, leads a diamond to his eight, and can claim these nine tricks: two spades, four diamonds and three clubs.

Finally, note that if declarer immediately goes to dummy with a club and plays a diamond to his eight, he wins here, but will fail when West has the singleton nine.
