Good morning, McHenry County ...

Readers respond to ‘road rage’ column I should have seen that coming.

More than a dozen readers responded to my Tuesday column about frustrating driving experiences in McHenry County.

Feedback ranged from sympathetic to highly critical.

Today and Thursday, I turn From The Editor’s Desk over to some of those readers, starting with the critical. These are just a sampling: “... What bothers me more than your frustration with slow drivers are the drivers honking, flashing lights, tailgating or yelling out the window with the accompanying finger language while I’m going 29 or 30 in a 30 mph zone. ... I suggest leaving earlier or developing a technique that allows the easily frustrated individual to enjoy the journey.”

Lynn Ramirez “I read with horror your plea to Mayor [Aaron] Shepley and the CL City Council to raise the speed limit on McHenry Avenue.

The number of drivers who putter below the limit is dwarfed by the vast number who sail

SAN FRANCISCO – Apple said quarterly revenue fell for the first time in more than a decade, as iPhone sales fell compared with a year ago. That’s putting more pressure on the world’s most valuable public company to come up with its next big product.

Apple sold more than 51.2 million iPhones in the first three months of 2016 – while racking up $10.5 billion in quarterly profit. That was more than many analysts expected, but still fewer than the 61 million iPhones sold a year earlier. The company is battling perceptions that its latest iPhones aren’t dramatically different from previous models.

kdahlstrom@shawmedia.com HARVARD – The 1.52 millionsquare-foot former Motorola campus is under contract to a Chinese company that bid $9.3 million for the expansive property, according to local economic development officials hopeful the sale will put at least part of the building back to use.

Online auction house Ten-X.com auctioned Motorola’s former regional headquarters, which has sat vacant since 2003, during a sale that ended Thursday. The opening bid for the site – featuring four multistory buildings, two heliports and other amenities – started at $2.7 million.

Officials hope having new owner of ex-Motorola site brings jobs to the McHenry County area

Although the exact intentions for the property are unclear, officials have heard the owner will use a portion of the building for manufacturing operations, said Charles Eldredge, the director of the Harvard Economic Development Corp.

There also has been talk of foreign companies using the building as an incubator, Eldredge said. He

said bringing the building back into operation would be an economic driver for Harvard and McHenry County.

“We are optimistic,” Eldredge said. “We’re also in waiting mode until we have the opportunity to meet the new owner and find out what their plans are.”

Ten-X teamed up with Chica-

go-based real estate broker JLL to promote the three-day auction. JLL started marketing the site shortly after Miami-based Optima International bought the campus for $16.75 million in 2008.

Since then, Optima International has made a minimal investment in the property, even showing reluctance to make improvements that could help market the site, Eldredge said.

About 2014, the company, through its limited liability company Optima Ventures, stopped heating, maintaining and paying property taxes on the vacant campus after years of

21-year-old honored as Illinois Soldier of the Year

By CAITLIN SWIECA

cswieca@shawmedia.com ALGONQUIN – Tycjan Sieradzki believes his success as a soldier in the National Guard can be traced back to his upbringing.

“The military for me was easy,” Sieradzki said. “My parents were really strict when I was growing up. I was kind of used to getting yelled at and being a little more disciplined than my friends.”

Sieradzki, a 21-year-old soldier from Algonquin, proved his mettle earlier this month when he was named Illinois’ Soldier of the Year after placing first in the Best Warrior Competition.

According to the Illinois National Guard, the annual contest pits top soldiers from brigades across the state against each other in events that test physical fitness, mental toughness and skill competence.

Sieradzki is a member of the 244th Digital Liaison Detachment based in Chicago. He took top honors at the competition, which was April 7 to 10 at the Marseilles Training Center.

A native of Poland who lived in Mount

“The purpose of me doing these competitions is trying to be the best version of myself, so I can always pass it down to others.”

Tycjan Sieradzki

21-year-old soldier from Algonquin

Prospect for nine years before moving to Algonquin a year ago, Sieradzki joined the National Guard three years ago after graduating from high school.

Sieradzki said he’s worked to be involved with his unit, volunteering at the armory in Chicago whenever he has free time; and last year, a superior asked him to represent the unit in the competition about a week before the event.

“We’re a really small unit,” Sieradzki said, “and in order to try to put ourselves out there, we volunteer for pretty much everything.”

He finished in third place last year, missing out on the top prize by five

points.

Knowing he would get another chance at this year’s competition, Sieradzki practiced shooting at local gun ranges, worked on land navigation in local wooded areas and got help studying information from his fellow soldiers.

A full-time truck driver, he made sure to stay fit on the road by doing sit-ups and push-ups at rest stops and opting for gas station tuna instead of fatty fast food.

He dominated this year, taking top honors by 150 points. He said he wants to use the experience to help train and motivate his fellow soldiers.

“The purpose of me doing these competitions is trying to be the best version of myself, so I can always pass it down to others,” Sieradzki said.

Sieradzki will help represent the National Guard during this week’s NFL Draft and will meet Gov. Bruce Rauner on May 5. He will compete at the regional Best Warrior Competition in Ohio from May 16 to 19.

He said he hopes to attend Eastern Illinois University next year and join the ROTC, and his goal eventually is to become a commissioned Army officer.

Village leader pleads not guilty

By JORDYN REILAND

jreiland@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – Hebron Village President John Jacobson on Tuesday formally denied drug and firearms charges based on allegations that police found cocaine and drug paraphernalia at his home during a March search after an incident when Jacobson was found unconscious.

Jacobson, 68, was arraigned Tuesday before McHenry County Judge Michael Feetterer and pleaded not guilty to unlawful possession of a controlled substance, a Class 4 felony; unlawful possession of a firearm without a requisite firearms owner identification card, a Class 3 felony; two counts of unlawful possession of firearm ammunition and unlawful possession of drug

paraphernalia.

After a search warrant was executed on Jacobson’s home days later, police said they seized a silver spoon with burn marks, a syringe, 140 rounds of ammunition, a shotgun and a Chore Boy – a scouring pad used in makeshift crack pipes, according to court documents.

He is next scheduled John to appear in court June 7.

Jacobson Jacobson said during a village board meeting April 19 that he did not plan to resign “right now,” despite a petition signed by 232 residents handed over at the meeting asking him to step down.

Hebron resident John Santoro attended Tuesday’s court proceeding

and helped organize the petition that was delivered to the village board. He said he believes Jacobson needs to step down from his village position and “get help on his own.”

“Hebron has a shady past, and I want that past to be buried,” Santoro said outside the courtroom. “He’s a sore thumb in our town.”

Jacobson previously faced drug charges during his 2013 campaign after police said they found crack cocaine in his vehicle during a traffic stop.

He pleaded guilty to amended misdemeanor charges after the election and remained in office. In October 2013, he faced driving under the influence charges in Wisconsin, and his drug-related probation ended in July 2014 without any further action from McHenry County prosecutors.

Valley Hi plan not one to spend reserve

By KEVIN P. CRAVER

WOODSTOCK – An ongoing capital plan for Valley Hi Nursing Home is not a mad race to spend down its large budget surplus, its administrator said.

The nursing home’s list of wants and needs, which now stands at about $5.3 million, has been an ongoing endeavor for well over a year, according to Administrator Tom Annarella.

The list of fixes and upgrades – as well as possible quality-of-life improvements for its 120-plus residents – is a monthly discussion item before the Valley Hi Operating Board, and independent of recent talk on the McHenry County Board about reducing a surplus that could cover three years of operations.

“There is no plan to start spending money for the sake of spending money,” Annarella said.

The Operating Board will vote at its Wednesday evening meeting on one item on that list, a $350,000 plan to replace beds and mattresses.

Residents’ specialized mattresses, designed to prevent bedsores, are eight years old and at the end of their operating span, as are the frames, which are breaking down, according to the resolution.

The one-page list of capital projects includes several million-dollar proposals, including finishing Valley Hi’s gravel basement and pulling fiber optic cable to both the nursing home

“There is no plan to start spending money for the sake of spending money.”

Tom Annarella

Valley Hi Nursing Home administrator and the Division of Transportation offices across the street on the corner of Hartland and Nelson roads west of Woodstock. But the list also includes several smaller wants, from $25,000 for new art in the common areas to $15,000 for stocked ponds that would allow residents to fish.

A combination of taxpayer subsidy and good stewardship has resulted in Valley Hi accumulating a surplus that fluctuates between $35 million and $40 million, against Valley Hi’s $13 million annual budget. In some ways, the 128bed, all-inclusive nursing home has become a victim of its own success.

County Board members, in a last-minute move last year, voted to eliminate the $3 million taxpayer levy for Valley Hi, citing the large cash reserve.

The home gets revenue from Medicaid, Medicare and some private-pay beds; the levy, which was approved years ago by voter referendum, keeps the home solvent when revenues fall short.

That was the rule for many years

– Valley Hi annually bled millions of dollars in red ink, but was made whole by the levy. A series of reforms, including new management and a period in which a private firm was brought in to straighten things out, fixed Valley Hi’s finances, and the home has run in the black since 2011.

As a result, however, the levy has piled up into the present surplus, even though today it is half of the $6 million that was levied a decade ago.

County Board members historically have been divided between those who want the Valley Hi levy reduced as much as possible and its reserve spent down, and those who think deep reductions would be irresponsible given the ongoing state budget crisis, shrinking reimbursements and funding uncertainties with the implementation of the Affordable Care Act. The levy aside, most of Valley Hi’s beds are for Medicaid patients, with Medicare and private-pay accounting for the rest.

“As long as we continue to lose money every day on Medicaid, eventually you either have to go back to the taxpayers or get out of the business,” Annarella said.

The Operating Board, which itself came out of the reforms, has said that a reserve of $16 million would be sufficient. Because of the tax cap, the County Board will have to reinstate the $3 million levy next fiscal year or lose it, requiring a voter referendum to reinstate it.

WOODSTOCK – The Woodstock Police Department and the Drug Enforcement Administration will give the public its 11th opportunity in six years to prevent pill abuse and theft by ridding their homes of potentially dangerous expired, unused and unwanted prescription drugs.

Residents are urged to bring their pills for disposal from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Saturday to the Woodstock Police Department at 656 Lake Ave. The DEA cannot accept liquids, needles or sharp items, only pills or patches. The service is free and anonymous, with no questions asked.

In September, Americans turned in 350 tons of prescription drugs at more than 5,000 sites operated by the DEA and more than 3,800 of its state and local law enforcement partners.

Police said the medicines that languish in home cabinets are susceptible to diversion, misuse and abuse. Rates

This was supposed to be a column to celebrate the defending champion Blackhawks roaring into the second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs with a Game 7 victory over the St. Louis Blues.

After all, the Blackhawks had been in this position before. They had come back from a 3-1 series deficit to force a deciding game a few years back to beat the Detroit Red Wings.

That year, the Blackhawks went on to win it all.

So, despite some customary playoff dread, I maintained the hope that despite everything, the Blackhawks would pull this off and rediscover some of their playoff magic.

Defenseman Brent Seabrook somehow would score a tying goal to force overtime or, better yet, the game winner. Captain Jonathan Toews would fire up the troops, win a faceoff in the Blues end and set up winger Patrick Kane for a last-second tally.

But it was a familiar face, a beloved player from the 2010 Stanley Cup team – winger Troy Brouwer – who would score the game-winning and se-

ries-winning goal … for St. Louis. The Blackhawks fell to the Blues, 3-2, in regulation. Their season is over. And it’s not even May yet.

Never mind that it’s been nearly 20 years since a Stanley Cup champion has gone on to repeat the feat the next season.

The Hawks nearly gave themselves that chance in 2014, only to fall in Game 7 to the Los Angeles Kings in the Western Conference Finals. Perhaps we didn’t realize how improbable that was.

Maybe, in a few days, I’ll be able to reflect on just how good this series against the St. Louis Blues was, with the majority of games decided by a single goal.

I’ll appreciate the amazing goaltending displays by both Hawks net-minder Corey Crawford and Blues goalie Brian Elliott.

Then I’ll think about the regular season, how much fun it was to see Patrick Kane lead the National Hockey League in points, and how he

did it as rookie Artemi Panarin put up gaudy numbers himself. Their line, centered by Artem Anisimov, provided so many highlight-reel plays.

Unfortunately, from the relative disappearance of the top line to the lack of a true No. 4 defenseman on the back end to an inability to rely on four lines for scoring, the Blackhawks just didn’t have the consistency we’ve come to expect.

Yet, they still had no problem making the playoffs and racked up more than 100 points on the season. So there’s no reason to hang one’s head.

They also did not go quietly. They battled and extended the series to that Game 7.

Of course, they probably would like to get back those squandered chances in Games 3 and 4 at the United Center.

In the end, however, the Blackhawks just weren’t able to pull another rabbit out of their helmets.

That means we fans are left with the four worst words in sports: Wait until next year.

Future Problem Solvers competition set in June

HEBRON – Police continue to investigate what caused a crash in a Hebron neighborhood that left a 52-year-old man dead Monday.

Richard Goben of Hebron was driving a Ford sedan south in the 9700 block of Illinois Street about 3:30 p.m. when the car crashed into a tree, Hebron police Sgt. Rich Donlea said. It’s not clear what caused the crash. Donlea said the McHenry County Accident Investigations Unit is looking into how fast Goben was

An off-duty firefighter was the first person to respond to the scene, Donlea said.

After that man called 911, he worked to perform CPR on Goben, Donlea said. The Hebron-Alden-Greenwood Fire Protection District transported Goben to Mercy Harvard Hospital, where officials said he was pronounced dead.

Police are investigating whether drugs or alcohol were involved and whether Goben was wearing a seat belt. Donlea said an autopsy is scheduled for Wednesday.

• Wednesday, April 27, 2016

RICHMOND – Nine students from Nippersink School District 2 will compete in June with students from around the world in the international Future Problem Solvers competition.

The students – four are part of a team, and six will compete individually – all advanced after the state competition April 15 and 16, said Chris Wagner, a District 2 middle school teacher and the coordinator of the participating problem solvers. A total of about 80 students from District 2 competed.

The students advancing as part of the team, which came in second during the state competition, include sixth-grader

Emma Schuler, sixth-grader Makenna Donohoe, and fifth-graders Zoe Packelly and Olivia Church-Sowinski, Wagner said. Competing individually are Emma Schuler, seventh-graders Samantha Golemba, Claire Jaegar and Caroline Keim, and eight-graders Amelia Guanci and Maggie McInnis.

In order to move on to the international competition, students undertook a six-step process in two hours during the state competition in Normal.

The activities require students, broken up by grade-based divisions, to identify a problem within a given topic and address the problem by coming up with various solutions and ways to implement them.

“I’ve done this before as an adult, and some of the stuff these kids come up with is quite impressive,” said Wagner, who prepares students with in-class lessons and activities. “I have a lot of pride in what these kids can do.”

LOCAL BRIEF Head-on crash on Route 14 in Cary sends 2 to hospital

CARY – Two men were injured Tuesday in a Route 14 crash that fire officials said might have been preceded by a medical emergency. Officials from the Cary Fire Protection District and Cary Police Department were dispatched about 11:45 a.m. to Route 14 east of Borden Avenue for a report of a head-on collision. On the scene, officials found a BMW sedan and a Ford Transit Connect that had collided in the center turn lane and the westbound lanes. Both vehicles sustained heavy front-end damage

and needed to be towed from the scene.

Fire Lt. Michael Douglass said officials believe the Transit was in the center turn lane waiting to turn left into a business when the driver of the westbound BMW suffered a medical emergency and drove into the Transit. Both drivers, the only people in either vehicle, were taken to Advocate Good Shepherd Hospital in Barrington with injuries not considered life-threatening, Douglass said. Officials at the scene could not provide information about the drivers’ ages or towns of residence.

Damaged Hair Cells

Do you sometimes feel people are mumbling or not speaking clearly? Do you find it difficult to follow a conversation in a noisy restaurant or crowded room?

If so you might be interested in some recent findings.

The most common type of hearing loss is sensorineural, in which the inner ear becomes damaged. Sound travels through the ear canal, the ear drum (tympanic membrane), the middle ear, and is transmitted to the inner ear (cochlea).

As sound-generated vibrations enter the cochlea, they cause microscopic hair cells to vibrate, which in-turn transmit neuro-electrical impulses to the brain. When these hair cells become damaged, they cannot vibrate in the appropriate way.

The resulting impulses to the brain are dampened or garbled, making comprehension difficult or impossible. Damage to hair cells is irreparable. But compensation is possible.

no longer be interpreted. In other words, “use it or lose it” applies to hearing too. Fortunately, recent advances in digital hearing technology make it possible to detect damaged and dead regions within the inner ear. Using “visual speech mapping” and “real ear measurement” processes, the highly trained audiologists and hearing instrument specialists at AccuQuest Hearing Centers (a national network of over 190 locations) can target regions of frequency loss and compensate for damaged hair cells. This targeted stimulation of neurons can aid in making speech comprehensible again.

Hearing loss, regardless of degree, can interfere with one’s ability to participate in a world that greatly depends on communication for social, educational, and occupational activities. Not all hearing loss can be fixed with hearing aids, but there’s a good chance we can help you with yours.

LOCAL BRIEF MARENGO – A Marengo man was charged with battery in a Monday incident in which another man was shot twice in the hand with a BB gun at the 18th hole of Marengo Ridge Golf Club.

Marc Prince, 41, was charged Monday evening after the incident, which McHenry County Sheriff’s Deputy Aimee Knop said occurred about 3:30 p.m.

The 50-year-old victim, of Woodstock, was retrieving a golf ball near the edge of the golf course property line when he

from a residential area in the 9100 block of Country Club Trace, she added.

The victim suffered minor injuries, but did not require transport to a hospital.

Prince was charged with battery, a Class A misdemeanor, Knop said.

She added the sheriff’s office is working with the McHenry County State’s Attorney’s Office and that the investigation will include whether the act was intentional or not.

Harvard City Administrator Dave Nelson said despite the mystery surrounding who bought the site, or their plans for the facility, he remains confident about the prospect of a new owner. He said his primary concern is bringing jobs to the area.

“It’s progress,” Nelson said. “We need to be able to move forward from the old owner and see something positive happen there.”

McHenry County Economic Development Corp. President Pam Cumpata described her feelings about the deal as anxious patience, calling the interest in the property a win for the county.

“For one, it will turn a building that has been sitting vacant for over 10 years into a functional building,” Cumpata said. “There will be some level of employment. The weeds, I’m sure, will get cut, and people will stop dumping garbage on the site.”

LOCAL BRIEF CRYSTAL LAKE – A residential fire that apparently started near a fish tank caused about $5,000 in damage, a Crystal Lake fire official said Tuesday night.

The Crystal Lake Fire Rescue Department was dispatched about 8 p.m. to 1340 Knollwood Circle for a reported structure fire, Battalion Chief Thomas Pollnow said.

Fire crews arrived and found a light haze of smoke coming from the basement, apparently originating from the area of a fish tank, Pollnow said.

Two people, who had been alerted by a smoke detector, were already out of the residence when firefighters arrived.

Pollnow said the cause is undetermined.

Nobody was injured, but he estimated fire and smoke caused about $5,000 in damage. Pollnow said the residents chose to relocate for the night.

He did not know whether the fish in the tank survived.

Agencies from McHenry and Algonquin responded to the scene, as did the Crystal Lake Police Department.

Lawmakers weigh gun ownership bills

By ASHLEY LISENBY The Associated Press

SPRINGFIELD – Illinois’ ability to keep guns out of the hands of people who are mentally ill or pose a danger would be strengthened under several proposals in the General Assembly, but the ideas have raised concerns among gun-rights advocates.

Some of the Democrat-sponsored plans would remove a person’s right to hold a Firearm Owners Identification card, which is necessary to buy a gun in Illinois, if the individual has an order of protection against him or her or if a family member successfully petitions a court. Another plan would require better reporting of cases in which a judge has deemed someone mentally disabled.

Each measure tightens a loophole in existing law, which some lawmakers said could prevent more gun deaths and keep potentially dangerous people from possessing firearms. But some gun-rights advocates say a couple of the plans are too severe and that stricter gun laws disregard the rights of responsible gun owners.

MENTAL ILLNESS AND GUNS

deaths. But Illinois State Rifle Association Executive Director Richard Pearson said anyone in a person’s household could complain, easily taking advantage of the measure. Some Republican lawmakers said the measure is government overreach. Willis said a perjury clause in her plan could prevent false accusations, adding that her bill also would allow a person to petition the court to have a suspension repealed.

A person may get his or her gun owner identification card back after reapplying within five years of having the card revoked under current policy. A doctor also must testify in court that the individual is competent enough to have a gun owner’s license.

ORDER OF PROTECTION LIMITATIONS

A measure awaiting Senate consideration would require state police to notify local law enforcement when a person has an order of protection against him or her, so those officers can assist in revoking an individual’s gun owner identification. The full House has approved the plan by Democratic Rep. Kelly Cassidy, of Chicago.

Cassidy said her plan could prevent stalkers from owning and possessing firearms. But Pearson, the State Rifle Association leader, said orders of protection are hard to substantiate when it’s one person’s word against another.

Temporary orders of protection can last up to two years, with a chance of renewal, or a judge may grant a permanent one. Current policy requires state police to revoke the gun owner identification card of a person who has an order of protection against him or her, giving an individual 48 hours to turn over firearms to local law enforcement or a licensed relative.

Eighty percent of people considering suicide and over half the number of mass shooters in the past two decades reportedly showed signs of mental illness before an incident occurred, according to the Illinois Council Against Handgun Violence. A 2013 report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention showed gun suicides in Illinois increased from 490 to 496 between 2012 and 2013.

Details of abuse could mean prison time for Hastert

CHICAGO – When Dennis Hastert pleaded guilty last year to breaking banking laws, sentencing guidelines suggested that the former House speaker would probably serve no more than six months in prison for making illegal withdrawals to conceal a dark secret from his past.

But after prosecutors lifted a veil of secrecy from the case, the judge made comments that suggested he might impose a longer sentence, potentially putting Hastert behind bars for several years, because of allegations that he molested at least four student athletes when he was a high school wrestling coach.

Word that one of the accusers will speak at the sentencing hearing is sure to turn up the pressure on Judge Thomas M. Durkin to reject defense calls for probation and send the 74-year-old Republican to prison.

If that happens, Hastert, who was second in the line of succession to the presidency after the vice president and the nation’s longest-serving GOP speaker, would become one of the highest-ranking politicians in American history ever to be incarcerated.

Rauner, union go to Illinois labor board over contract

SPRINGFIELD –The Illinois Labor Relations Board is weighing whether negotiations have stalled between Gov. Bruce Rauner and the largest state workers union, a determination that would give the Republican executive the power to impose his own terms for a new contract.

If it gets to that, members of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees could be faced with a decision on whether to strike.

It’s under such high stakes that attorneys for both sides began making their cases Monday about whether negotiations on a new labor agreement have reached an impasse. Rauner asked the Illinois Labor Relations Board in January to decide whether that’s the case.

The hearing is scheduled to last through May, and it will be months before an administrative law judge issues a ruling.

Volunteer firefighter accused of arson

FREEPORT– A 20-year-old volunteer firefighter is accused of setting several fires in northern Illinois.

Kenneth Grabow of Orangeville is charged with six counts of criminal damage to property and four counts of arson in connection with five fires in the Orangeville area. He’s accused of setting fires at three barns, a shed and an abandoned home between April 14 and 19.

Stephenson County Sheriff’s Lt. Richard Roodhouse said Grabow was identified as a suspect early on in the investigation after witnesses reported seeing his vehicle near the scene of some of the fires.

Stephenson County Sheriff David Snyders said Grabow had been a member of the Orangeville department for about eight months.

Grabow remained in the Stephenson County Jail on $250,000 bond Tuesday morning. It wasn’t immediately known if he has an attorney.

Woman who faked cancer gets 4 years in prison

ROCK ISLAND – An Illinois woman was sentenced to four years in prison after she admitted to lying about having cancer to defraud thousands of dollars from a fellow churchgoer.

Felica Howard, 44, of Rock Island pleaded guilty Friday to felony theft by deception, The Rock Island Argus reported. She was ordered to serve two years of supervised release after her four-year prison sentence and to repay about $133,000.

Howard is accused of telling a 78-year-old East Moline man who she met at church that she was facing a divorce and a cancer diagnosis. Authorities said the man gave Howard more than $100,000 over two years, which he believed she was using to pay for her medication, treatment and other expenses.

The man, who served as the church’s treasurer, initially arranged for Howard to receive some charitable donations through the church and eventually began providing her with his own money, court records state.

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton stands with former President Bill Clinton at her presidential primary election night rally Tuesday in Philadelphia.

Trump trounces rivals; Clinton carries 4 states The ASSOCIATED PRESS

PHILADELPHIA – In a front-runner’s rout, Republican Donald Trump roared to victory Tuesday in five contests across the Northeast and confidently declared himself the GOP’s “presumptive nominee.” Hillary Clinton was dominant in four Democratic races and now is 90 percent of the way to the number she needs to claim her own nomination.

Trump’s and Clinton’s wins propelled them ever closer to a general election showdown.

Still, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders and Republicans Ted Cruz and John Kasich, vowed to keep running, even as opportunities to topple the leaders dwindle.

Trump still must negotiate a narrow path to keep from falling short of the delegates needed to seal the nomination before the Republican National Convention in July.

Cruz and Kasich are working toward that result, which would leave Trump open to a floor fight in which delegates could turn to someone else.

Trump was having none of that. “It’s over.

As far as I’m concerned it’s over,” he declared at his victory rally in the lobby of Trump Tower in New York. He now has 77 percent of the delegates he needs.

With Clinton’s four victories – she ceded only Rhode Island to Sanders – she now has 90 percent of the delegates she needs to become the first woman nominated by a major party.

Clinton kept her focus firmly on the general election as she spoke to supporters Tuesday

night, urging Sanders’ loyal supporters to help her unify the Democratic Party and reaching out to GOP voters who may be unhappy with their party’s options.

“If you are a Democrat, an independent or a thoughtful Republican, you know that their approach is not going to build an America where we increase opportunity or decrease inequality,” Clinton said of the GOP candidates.

She spoke in Philadelphia, where Democrats will gather in July for their nominating convention.

Sanders, in an interview with The Associated Press, conceded that he has a “very narrow path, and we’re going to have to win some big victories.”

Trump’s victories in Maryland, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Delaware and Rhode Island were overwhelming, winning his closest race by just about 30 points. The businessman is the only candidate left in the three-person race who possibly could clinch the nomination through the regular voting process. Yet with 950 delegates now, he could still fall short of the 1,237 he needs.

Cruz and Kasich are desperately trying to keep Trump from that magic number and push the race to a convention fight. The Texas senator and Ohio governor even took the rare step of announcing plans to coordinate in upcoming contests to try to minimize Trump’s delegate totals.

That effort did little to stop Trump from a big showing in the Northeast, where he picked up at least 105 of the 118 delegates up for grabs.

BRIEFS Georgia governor OKs state funds for anti-abortion centers

ATLANTA – Georgia can give state money to “pregnancy resource centers” that offer medical and other services to pregnant women while discouraging them from getting abortions, under legislation signed Tuesday

by Republican Gov. Nathan Deal.

The measure’s sponsor, Republican state Sen. Renee Unterman of Buford, described her bill as a “positive” response to videos released this summer by abortion opponents showing Planned Parenthood officials discussing procedures for obtaining tissue from aborted fetuses for research.

A Texas grand jury later cleared the organization of wrongdoing.

Deal signed the bill in a private ceremony and didn’t issue a public statement.

Georgia now joins at least 10 other states that specifically dedicate funding to anti-abortion efforts, according to the Guttmacher Institute, a research organization that supports legal access to abortion. Elizabeth Nash, a policy analyst at the organization, said the practice began in some states decades ago.

North Carolina Dems pan ‘keep our state straight’ comment

RALEIGH, N.C. – Rhetorical skirmishes continued Tuesday in North Carolina over a law limiting protections for LGBT people, as Democrats criticized a Republican’s plea to “keep our state straight.”

The criticism came a day after dueling demonstrations drew thousands of protesters for and against the law, ending with the arrests of 54 people voicing their opposition to the law in the Legislative Building.

At a demonstration supporting the law earlier Monday, the state’s Republican nominee for attorney general, state Sen. Buck Newton, urged the crowd to “tell your friends and family who had to work today what this is all about and how hard we must fight to keep our state straight.”

The North Carolina Democratic Party issued a statement Tuesday calling the comments hateful and discriminatory toward lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people. They called for Newton, who shepherded the legislation through his chamber, to apologize. Newton told reporters the phrase had nothing to do with sexual orientation. “It means keep men out of the ladies’ room,” he said.

WASHINGTON – In its final argument of the term, the Supreme Court will weigh a former Virginia governor’s contention that doing favors for a businessman who gave him gifts such as a Rolex watch, golf outings and money for wedding catering did not amount to public corruption.

The court’s decision in former Gov. Bob McDonnell’s appeal is expected to have wide implications for politicians and public officials by clarifying what distinguishes bribery from routine actions they often perform as a courtesy to constituents.

McDonnell was convicted of accepting more than $165,000 in gifts and loans from a wealthy businessman in exchange for promoting a dietary supplement. He insists his conduct in helping Star Scientific Inc. CEO Jonnie Williams never crossed the legal line into “official action.”

Lawyers for McDonnell will ask the

high court Wednesday to place new limits on the reach of federal bribery laws used to prosecute public officials.

There is no dispute that McDonnell and his wife hosted a product launch for Williams at the governor’s mansion, attended other events promoting Star Scientific’s products and asked other state officials to meet with Williams.

But lawyers for McDonnell argue that he never put any pressure on those officials and that Williams never got what he wanted – state funding for medical studies on the dietary pills. They said the government has placed every public official at risk of prosecution by criminalizing “everyday acts” that are part of the job.

“This case marks the first time in our history that a public official has been convicted of corruption despite never agreeing to put a thumb on the scales of any government decision,” McDonnell said in a brief to the court. “Officials routinely arrange meetings for donors, take their calls, politely listen to their ideas, and refer them to aides.”

Authorities haven’t suggested a motive or suspects.

DeWine has said there were marijuana-growing operations found at three of the four places where bodies were found in Pike County, a rural Appalachian Mountain region roughly 80

miles east of Cincinnati and Hamilton County.

DeWine said Tuesday that investigators have received more than 300 tips and still are serving search warrants.

He said 79 pieces of evidence have been sent to a state crime lab for testing and analysis, including for DNA and fingerprints.

CINCINNATI – A coroner’s report released Tuesday showed new details of vicious violence in the shooting deaths of eight members of a rural southern Ohio family, finding most victims were shot three to nine times each and some of them were bruised.

Meanwhile, the hunt for whoever is responsible continued to expand, with more than 200 law enforcement officials involved.

A 911 caller said Friday the bodies of two people found in one home looked to be beaten up. Attorney General Mike DeWine has called the slayings a carefully planned and “sophisticated operation” carried out against eight members of the Rhoden family by one or more killers.

The Hamilton County coroner said the victims – three women, four men and a 16-year-old boy – had wounds to their heads, torso and other parts of the body. Dr. Lakshmi Sammarco said one victim had a single wound, one had two wounds, and the rest had three or more. The report didn’t specify which victim had which number of wounds.

Some victims showed “signs of soft tissue bruising,” her report stated.

Sammarco’s office declined to discuss

are leading the investigation, with help from some two dozen other agencies including other county sheriffs. The FBI and Drug Enforcement Administration also are offering assistance.

A woman who called 911 Friday morning to report finding two of the bodies said she saw “blood all over the house” and that the two looked as if they had been badly beaten.

The victims are 40-year-old Christopher Rhoden Sr.; his ex-wife, Dana Rhoden; their three children, 16-yearold Christopher Rhoden Jr., 19-yearold Hanna Rhoden and 20-year-old Clarence “Frankie” Rhoden; Christopher Rhoden Sr.’s brother, 44-year-old Kenneth Rhoden; their cousin, 38-yearold Gary Rhoden, and 20-year-old Hannah Gilley, whose 6-month old son with Frankie was unharmed. Two other children, a 6-month-old and a 3-yearold, were also unharmed.

Leonard Manley, father of Dana Rhoden, told The Cincinnati Enquirer he first learned about the marijuana operations from news reports. Manley, 64, said he’s sure his daughter couldn’t have been involved in anything illegal.

“They are trying to drag my daughter through the mud, and I don’t appreciate that,” said Manley, whose three grandchildren – Dana’s children – also were among the dead.

OUR VIEW

Redistricting reform must happen now We have been advocates of redistricting reform in Illinois for many, many years.

When political bosses of the ruling party are able to draw their own district boundaries after the U.S. Census every 10 years, everyone loses except those same political bosses and other career politicians of the same party.

Look at the number of unconFor the record tested legislative races statewide and We support Rep. Jack Franks’ that tells you all you bill to create an independent need to know about commission to draw new gerrymandered, voting district boundary lines politically drawn dis- each decade. tricts. The current redistricting process allows politicians to draw districts so favorable to one side – in Illinois, the Democrats, because they have strong majorities in both the House and the Senate – and unfavorable to the other that election results in many races are practically a foregone conclusion.

That’s why we support Rep. Jack Franks’ bill to create an independent commission to draw the new Rep. Jack boundary lines each decade.

Franks House Bill 1559, also known as the Redistricting Standards Act, would disqualify current and recently elected officials, lobbyists and business owners who contract with the state and state employees from serving on the panel that establishes the new boundaries. The bill also would require the panel to House hold 15 public hearings throughout Speaker Michael the state before adopting a plan, Madigan according to a story by Northwest Herald reporter Jordyn Reiland.

Franks’ bill, if approved by both the Illinois House and Senate and signed by Gov. Bruce Rauner, then would go to voters for final approval.

But let’s face it, the legislation faces an uphill battle. House Speaker Michael Madigan has no desire to give up the power redistricting gives him.

The only way redistricting reform happens in Illinois is if voters, by placing pressure on lawmakers, make it happen.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

ANOTHER VIEW

Lt. governor position only a start Death of proposal to eliminate office about politics, not good government A proposal to give Illinois voters a chance to eliminate the lieutenant governor’s office by constitutional amendment failed in the state Senate last week.

Never mind that the joint resolution, sponsored by state Rep. David McSweeney, R-Barrington Hills, first was passed by the Illinois House of Representatives by a 95-10 vote.

Never mind that Gov. Bruce Rauner campaigned on consolidating government and finding spending efficiencies. Never mind this would save taxpayers some $1.6 million a year. Never mind that this is pretty much a do-nothing office. Never mind that the person who holds the job now, Evelyn Sanguinetti, has said it ought to go. Never

mind that 14 Senate Republicans who cast a “nay” last week reportedly sponsored an identical measure three years ago.

Never mind that other states have done it.

Indeed, there were so many flip-flops on this issue, up to the governor himself, that the Capitol would be one dizzy place if its denizens had ever experienced equilibrium and knew the difference. Why the change of heart?

Because it would change the line of succession should the governor somehow be incapacitated, with an independently elected attorney general taking over instead of a lieutenant governor. And – gasp! – those two officeholders could be of different parties. (As is the

case now, with the Republican Rauner and the Democrat Lisa Madigan.)

So again, it’s all about politics in Springfield, rarely about good government; mostly about them, not about us. It’s like the endless lip service given to merging the state treasurer and comptroller offices. The merits have nothing to do with it.

Our legislators will forgive constituents who say they shouldn’t stop at the lieutenant governor’s office, who ask: Since only four of them seem to matter much in the General Assembly, why do taxpayers need 173 others taking up space and payroll? We’d like to think that’s starting to change. We’ll see.

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.

IT’S YOUR WRITE

Franks a workhorse legislator

To the Editor: Our workhorse state legislator, Jack Franks, once again demonstrated why he is considered one of the best legislators in our nation. This past week, he muscled through two landmark pieces of legislation. The first will require all local governments as well as the state of Illinois to disclose all tax abatements and incentives as well as require them to be line-itemed in budgets. For the first time, taxpayers will be able to determine whether they are receiving a return on their tax dollars investments. This law will bring transparency and significantly reduce abuse of the taxpayers by curtailing government giveaways to politically connected insiders.

The second will prohibit double dipping by public employees. Franks’ bill, called Retirement Means Retirement Act, will end the practice of public employees “retiring” then shortly thereafter taking another taxpayer-funded job and receiving pension and employment pay simultaneously.

Under Rep. Franks’ new law, the pension will be suspended while the employee is employed, thus saving the taxpayers millions of dollars.

Rep. Franks always is looking out for the taxpayers and fighting the insiders.

on that Trump has been projecting a phony image), saying, “So, yes, we think that tone matters and being presidential, it does matter. And I get the sense that they get that.”

Priebus is going a long way toward offending principled conservative opponents of Trump, giving them every reason to abandon the party if Trump wins the nomination. He offers up the GOP as an empty vessel to Trump, indifferent to the damage his nomination would do to its ideological coherence. He is entirely oblivious to many conservatives determined to ensure conservatism has a champion and a party to present its views.

Priebus’s error has been in treating his party like the worst kind of soulless political consultant – taking all comers so long as they win and indifferent to the character of the candidate and the content of his views.

This is fundamentally wrong and amoral. The GOP has a mission that is greater than being on the winning

side in elections. It is the vehicle for conservative principles; a defense of the GOP must be a defense of it as an agent and enabler of conservative values.

Take out the conservative values with a nominee such as Trump, and you’ve destroyed the mission and the soul of the GOP. Separate conservatism from the GOP, and you separate conservatives from the party. It no longer will be an organization lifelong Republicans find worth supporting, with their dollars or their votes.

If Priebus cannot comprehend this and re-calibrate his public comments, he should be quiet. His nonstop presence on TV is entirely unwarranted and merely exacerbates the tension in the party. If he keeps this up, he will be a chairman in search of a party.

Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus has gone out of his way to block and tackle for Donald Trump and disparage principled conservatives in his party who will never support Trump. Twisting himself into a pretzel trying to provide cover for Trump, he suggests Trump is just like any other Republican nominee. He has discounted or ignored Trump’s racist language and misogynistic insults and has failed to defend vigorously the integrity of Republicans whom Trump has attacked.

Moreover, Priebus has been mute in the face of Trump’s series of horrific gaffes confirming the billionaire lacks basic knowledge to be president and has no attachment to conservative principles.

Priebus was at it again Sunday during an appearance on ABC News, proclaiming any third-candidate run would be a “dumb idea” and assuring anyone listening the party will fall in line behind Trump. Priebus thus con-

Big R occupied the 95,420-squarefoot former Target in the fall, becoming a “critical” anchor store of the McHenry Plaza Shopping Center, Economic

Development Director Doug Martin said.

“Obviously, that’s a very critical building to fill for the Richmond Road corridor, for the city of McHenry and for that shopping center, as well,” Martin said. “And to fill it as quickly as we did, I think, really helped inject life into the intersection, which was key.”

A competitor to Blain’s Farm and Fleet, Big R moved into the Chicago area in 2015 after it opened a store in Homer Glen in Will County.

Target announced it was closing the McHenry store in 2014, and it subsequently closed in January 2015, Martin said. Big R was approved in July 2015, along with a five-year sales tax incentive agreement, the Northwest Herald previously reported.

NEW YORK – Tribune Publishing said Tuesday in a letter that USA Today owner Gannett was “erratic” and “unreliable” as the two newspaper companies tried to discuss a possible tie-up.

Nonetheless, Tribune said it still is considering the $388 million takeover offer from Gannett.

Tribune’s letter comes a day after Gannett made public its bid to buy the owner of the Los Angeles Times and Chicago Tribune. Gannett Co., based in McLean, Virginia, said Monday that Tribune refused to have meaningful discussions about a deal.

In its letter Tuesday, Tribune said Gannett executives canceled a meeting without reason and once asked it to make a decision about the proposal within 90 minutes.

“Gannett has been playing games,” Tribune said in the letter, which was signed by Tribune CEO Justin Dearborn.

Gannett responded with its own letter Tuesday, saying that the meeting was canceled because a person from Tribune’s team who did not know about the offer would be there.

“Tribune was well aware of Gannett’s reason for canceling the din-

ner,” Gannett CEO Robert Dickey said in the letter.

Gannett said it is “eager” to negotiate a deal with Tribune.

“Please let us know when and where you would like to meet,” the letter said.

Gannett said Monday that it wants to buy Chicago-based Tribune to expand its USA Today Network, an effort launched late last year that helps it share stories between national paper USA Today and its more than 100 local daily newspapers.

Besides the Los Angeles Times and Chicago Tribune, buying Tribune would give Gannett control of the Hartford Courant, The Baltimore Sun and several other newspapers.

Gannett shares slipped 24 cents, or 1.4 percent, to $16.55 in morning trading Tuesday.

Shares of Tribune Publishing Co. rose 5 cents to $11.55.

WORTH TALKIN’ ABOUT WEDNESDAY, APRIL 27, 2016

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Alicia Keys will debut new music from her next album during the first-ever live musical performance as a part of the opening ceremony for the UEFA Champions League Final in Italy next month.

UEFA and Pepsi announced that the Grammy-winning singer will be the first musical act to perform as a part of the final, which is aired in more than 220 countries.

The singer has been working on a follow-up to her 2012 studio album “Girl on Fire,” but she was coy about the new songs she’ll be performing May 28.

“I have to leave it as a surprise for sure ’cause that’s ... part of the fun of it,” Keys said in a phone interview Tuesday.

Prince’s lawyer: Death a shock; singer led clean life

Kelly Ripa poses Oct. 12, 2015, with Michael Strahan, her co-host on the daily talk show “LIVE! with Kelly and Michael,” during a ceremony honoring Ripa with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in Los Angeles.

Strahan to exit ‘Live’ in May, Ripa says all is forgiven NEW YORK – Kelly Ripa returned to her daytime talk show Tuesday after time off to “gather (her) thoughts” in response to learning her co-host Michael Strahan is leaving, saying the incident had started a conversation about workplace respect.

She also told the audience her bosses had apologized to her, and she’d received assurances that the “Live with Kelly and Michael” show was important to parent Walt Disney Co. But only hours after the show’s telecast, Ripa’s remarks were upstaged by an updated announcement that Strahan will leave in May for full-time duties on ABC’s “Good Morning America,” not in September, as previously indicated.

Strahan’s last day on “Live” will now be May 13, “which not only gives the show the chance to have a nice send-off for him during the May (ratings) book, but to also immediately begin the on-air search for a new co-host,” said a publicist for the show.

Ripa, Strahan and producers of “Live” and “GMA” were consulted in reaching the decision on Strahan’s departure date, the publicist said.

The former soap opera actress has been co-host of “Live” since 2001, first with Regis Philbin and then with Strahan.

In between the two men’s tenures, Ripa bridged a nine-month gap during which she sat alongside some 60 substitute and tryout co-hosts.

Before her return, Ripa reportedly had been upset that she learned only a few minutes before the public last Tuesday that Strahan, her co-host since 2012, was exiting for “GMA.” He works part-time on the morning news show now, and executives there are looking for a way to turn around fading ratings.

Prince’s longtime lawyer called the death of the superstar a complete shock and said Monday that the singer lived a clean and healthy lifestyle, disputing suggestions that he had a drug addiction. Prince was found dead Thursday in Paisley Park, his home and vast recording studio in Chanhassen, Minnesota, at the age of 57. An autopsy was conducted, but complete results won’t be in for weeks. Police have said there was no indication of suicide.

Lawyer L. Londell McMillan had known Prince for 25 years and at one time was his manager. In a phone interview Monday night, he told The Associated Press he spoke to Prince the Sunday before he died, after it was reported that his plane made an emergency landing to deal with a medical emergency involving the singer.

Prince assured McMillan he was fine.

“He said he was doing perfect,” McMillan recalled. “He said, ‘OK, I’ll call you soon.’ ” Celebrity website TMZ, citing unidentified sources, reported that Prince was treated for an overdose of the powerful painkiller Percocet while traveling home from concerts in Atlanta last week. The site said his plane made an emergency landing April 15 in Moline, where he was briefly hospitalized. Prince had postponed concerts in Atlanta citing an illness but rescheduled them and performed there April 14.

Asked about the TMZ report, McMillan said that while Prince may have been in pain and

may have taken medication from time to time, he was “not on any drugs that would be any cause for concern.”

Preliminary hearing date set for Bill Cosby in Penn.

NORRISTOWN, Pa. – A date has been set for a preliminary hearing in the criminal sex assault case against Bill Cosby.

The married comedian will appear May 24 in a Pennsylvania courthouse to face charges over a 2004 encounter at his home with a then-Temple University employee. The woman said she was drugged and molested. Cosby said they engaged in consensual sex acts.

Tuesday’s hearing announcement comes a day after an appeals court rejected Cosby’s attempt to throw out his case because of what he called a decade-old deal not to prosecute him.

Sheen’s lawyers attack ex’s restraining order filing LOS ANGELES – Charlie Sheen’s lawyer urged a judge to reject a request by the actor’s ex-fiancée to extend a temporary restraining order, calling the filing a publicity stunt intended to keep an unrelated civil case in the news. Sheen’s attorney, Martin D. Singer, wrote in a court filing Monday that Sheen has not had any contact with his ex, Scottine Ross, in more than a year. Ross has sued Sheen alleging he failed to tell her he was HIV-positive before they had sex, but the case has been moved to private arbitration.

Better preemie pain relief sought American Academy of Pediatrics releases admonishment, new call for action

By LINDSEY TANNER The Associated Press

OAK LAWN – It happens every day to the most vulnerable infants in hospital intensive care units: fragile babies born way too soon are poked, prodded and jabbed as part of medical care meant to help them survive – and it can be heart-wrenching to watch.

Heel sticks for blood tests, inserting IV tubes, adjusting breathing machines – even the gentlest jostling to remove a bandage from translucent skin can cause kittenlike whimpers and tiny arms and legs to suddenly jerk. Sometimes there’s no sound at all – just a dip on the heart rate monitor.

It used to be thought these infants were too young to feel pain. But even now, experts say, pain relief for newborns and especially preemies often is inadequate, despite evidence low-tech comforting methods and medication both can be effective.

The American Academy of Pediatrics has new advice – and an admonishment.

Pain in newborns “continues to be inconsistently assessed and inadequately managed,” the academy says.

Remedies “are currently underused for routine minor yet painful procedures.”

Preventing and reducing pain, particularly in preemies, is important because of the potential consequences for infant development, the academy said in a policy issued in February.

Research suggests repeated bouts of pain leave infants prone to potential long-term ill effects including changes in nerve structures and brain development, and hypersensitivity to touch and stress – and it’s the smallest and sickest babies who experience the greatest number of painful procedures.

Pain assessment can be a significant challenge in preemies, said newborn specialist Erin Keels, the policy’s lead author and a nurse at Nationwide Children’s Hospital in Columbus, Ohio.

Preemie’s pain cues aren’t always obvious. They often have multiple health problems that need attention, and in busy intensive care units, pain relief for every day minor procedures sometimes can get overlooked, she said.

The new guidance was prompted in part by recent research showing benefits from alternatives to medication,

Parents Bryan Niedermeyer and Angelica Juarez visit March 15 with Olivia Niedermeyer, their preemie daughter, after she and twin sister, Evelyn, underwent eye exams at Advocate Children’s Hospital in Chicago. Olivia and Evelyn Niedermeyer are part of recent research showing benefits from low-tech pain management alternatives during necessary procedures on these fragile babies that are poked and prodded as part of medical care meant to help them survive, but can be painful.

Keels said. These include sugar-dipped pacifiers, tight swaddling and skinto-skin contact with moms and dads.

Newer ways to measure infant pain also are being tested, including measuring brain waves and electrical impulses in the skin.

Pain management during surgery and other major procedures typically requires medication, often opioids including morphine. Short-term side effects of these drugs may include a slowed heart rate, low blood pressure and drug dependence. Some small studies have linked use of these drugs in extremely premature babies with slowed weight gain, smaller head size and behavior troubles later in childhood, but research on appropriate doses and potential long-term effects “is woefully lacking,” the academy says.

It urges more research on using these drugs and other medications in infants.

“While we want to manage pain

appropriately, we also have to pay attention to not going too far in the other extreme,” said Dr. William MacKendrick, medical director of the infant special care unit at NorthShore Evanston Hospital in Evanston. He was not involved in the policy.

U.S. hospitals are required to assess patients’ pain in order to be accredited, and it’s an issue newborn specialists are increasingly paying attention to.

At Advocate Children’s Hospital in Oak Lawn, tiny twins Evelyn and Olivia Niedermeyer are helping find answers.

The babies were born more than a month early, in January, weighing less than 3 pounds. They’re enrolled in a study comparing infants’ reactions to two different tiny devices used to detect retinopathy, an eye disease that can cause blindness in very premature babies.

The metal devices prop eyelids

open so doctors can look beyond the eyeballs’ surface into the retina. The hospital is trying to find out which of the two devices causes less discomfort, said Debra Skopec, a newborn intensive care nurse and the study’s leader.

Skopec wraps the babies’ legs into a little ball and holds them tightly during the exams, and swaddles them after: “confinement” meant to be comforting. Immediately after the tests, she watches for any changes in vital signs shown on wall-mounted monitors.

The twins squeal during the exam, and it all makes their mom, Angelica Juarez, feel pretty helpless.

“I want to cry,” she said during a recent hospital visit, fighting back tears.

“And I don’t want my babies to hurt.”

Juarez said she agreed to take part to help future babies experience less pain.

“It’s scary, but it’s necessary,” she said.

The Associated Press

43,000 U.S. suicides in 2014, a 24 percent increase in the past 15 years 33 percent of total suicides – about 14,000 – were middle-age whites, who comprise about 18 percent of the population, up from about 25 percent in 1999. extremely concerning,” said Nadine Kaslow, an Emory University researcher and past president of the American Psychological Association.

The CDC data – released Friday – provides a detailed look at the latest year’s suicide statistics, and a broader look at how much the situation has changed over 15 years.

There were nearly 43,000 U.S. suicides in 2014. More than 14,000 of them

religious communities.

Money was a factor, too, they say.

The economy was in recession from the end of 2007 until mid-2009. Even well afterward, polls showed most Americans remained worried about weak hiring, a depressed housing market and other problems.

White people, in particular, seem to expect financial comfort and happiness by middle age – and have difficulty coping when things get worse instead of better, Emory’s Kaslow said.

In a report earlier this week, the CDC found life expectancy for white women – and for white people as a whole – declined slightly in 2014. Some experts have said a combination of factors may be the reason, including more drug overdoses and suicides.

NEW YORK – Middle-aged white people now account for a third of all suicides in the U.S., a new government report shows.

Suicide is the nation’s 10th leading cause of death, and the overall rate rose 24 percent in 15 years, according to the report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Suicides long have been most common among white people – particularly older white males. But most striking in the new report is the growth in whites ages 45 to 64.

They were a third of suicide deaths in 2014, up from about a quarter in 1999.

“The findings in this report are

were middle-aged whites – twice the combined total for all blacks, Hispanics, Asians, Pacific Islanders, American Indians and Alaska Natives.

In other terms – a group that represents 18 percent of the U.S. population accounted for 33 percent of the suicides.

The CDC also reported striking increases in suicide rates in adult American Indians and Alaska Natives, although the number of those suicide deaths is much smaller.

The report doesn’t try to answer why certain trends are occurring.

Other experts have speculated middle age can be a particularly hard time for whites, who – compared to some other racial and ethnic groups – commonly don’t have as many supportive relationships with friends, family or

Research changes disease treatment Dear Dr. K: I have diabetes, and my doctor used to tell me my fasting blood sugar level needed to be below a certain number. Now, he says it’s OK if it’s higher. Why do doctors keep changing their minds about the right thing to do?

Dear Reader: We doctors keep changing our minds because we’re human. Which means we sometimes believe things that seem reasonable and for which there is some evidence – only to find out, as more and better research is done, we were wrong.

Suppose you were living in the 15th century. Every (clear) day of your life you would see the sun rising in the morning in the east, moving higher in the sky, then at midday starting to move lower and finally setting in the west. And every clear night of your life, you would see the moon and stars also moving across the sky. Wouldn’t common sense have told you the sun, moon and stars – the entire universe – revolved around the Earth?

I’m pretty sure that’s what I would have assumed.

I graduated medical school believing I had learned the very best current treatments for different diseases. Of course, new and better treatments likely were to be discovered during my career. But I believed every treatment I’d learned about was the best currently available, and clearly better than no treatment at all.

The first time I recall being disabused of that idea involved a treatment for bleeding ulcers (in the small intestine and stomach), which were a very common problem then.

A surgeon had a clever idea, called “gastric freezing.” He developed a plastic tube with a balloon at the end of it. The tube was pushed down through the mouth

SUDOKU

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff into the stomach. Then a bedside machine circulated cold fluid through the balloon.

The very cold balloon froze the lining of the stomach. It made sense this would reduce the production of stomach acid (which was thought to cause and worsen the bleeding ulcer). It also made sense it would encourage the blood to clot and the bleeding to stop.

Every patient on which the surgeon tried gastric freezing told him they felt better afterward. He published the results and went around the country talking about his new treatment. Several thousand gastric freezing machines with tubes were sold around the United States.

Up to 15,000 people got the new treatment.

Then several studies were done in which some people with ulcers were given the true gastric freezing treatment, and some just had the tube placed in their stomach without the freezing treatment.

Thirty percent of the people given the freezing treatment improved – but 34 percent of those who did not get the treatment improved as well. In other words, the treatment was no better than (and maybe a little worse than) no treatment at all. Needless to say, the treatment ceased to be used.

In tomorrow’s column, I’ll talk more about how and why treatments sometimes fall out of favor.

• Write to Dr. Komaroff at www.askdoctork.com or Ask Doctor K, 10 Shattuck St., Second Floor, Boston, MA 02115.

DEAR ABBY a divorced man dating a diJeanne vorcée, “Sylvie,” Phillips who is eight years younger.

I recently learned she had an affair before we met, and it is affecting the way I see her.

The man she had the affair with still is married. I had an affair while I was married, and although I understand how affairs can happen, I don’t condone them. It took me several years to forgive myself for the hurt my actions caused.

Sylvie tells me things are over with this man, yet she continues to do business with him. In my mind she ought to find alternative vendors to deal with. We have spoken about it, and she insists no one else in our area carries or represents the product line he offers.

I feel if she truly is over him, then all communication, both personal and professional, should cease. It’s not that I don’t trust Sylvie, but I believe things might reignite between them in a weak moment. Am I being ridiculous? – Dazed In Wisconsin Dear Dazed: You’re not being ridiculous, but the truth is you don’t completely trust Sylvie when she says the affair is history. For her to sacrifice a necessary business contact because you are insecure would be a mistake.

There would be financial consequences, and she has no guarantee her relationship with you will progress beyond dating.

Dear Abby: My boyfriend of three years slapped me across the face a few nights ago.

He has never done that before, and he promised he’d never do it again. After he hit me, he immediately apologized, but said I was partly at fault because I had taunted and belittled him. I love him very much and know he would never want to hurt me.

We’re both in our 20s and have expressed our devout love for each other. My boyfriend is the sweetest guy and truly makes me a happier person, but I don’t know if I can fully trust and be in love with him after he hit me. I feel partly responsible for what happened that night, but I know I didn’t deserve to be hit.

Is my boyfriend an abuser? He has been nothing but caring and supportive and shows no other signs of being abusive. What should I do? – Taken Aback Out West Dear Taken Aback: Let me point out abusers do not start out relationships by being that way. But once slapping starts, it often escalates to pushing, hitting and more serious violence. One of the hallmarks of an abuser is blaming the victim by saying he/she deserved it, and it is a big, red warning sign.

Because you have said your boyfriend has never shown any other signs of being abusive in your three-year relationship, consider this incident an unfortunate one-time occurrence.

But keep your eyes wide open in case it wasn’t.

You DO NOT Have to Suffer From Knee Pain Any Longer!

KNEE PAIN?

NEW FDA APPROVED TREATMENT PROVEN TO RELIEVE KNEE PAIN

Over 100 million Americans suffer from knee and joint pain? This pain accounts for 25 percent of all visits to primary care physicians and half of all anti-inflammatory drug prescriptions.Have you ever wondered how different your life would be if you could get rid of your knee pain? Where would you go, what would you do?

What would you give for a day, a week or a lifetime of pain-free mobility? We are pleased to announce that knee pain sufferers don’t have to wait any longer to get the most advanced, non-surgical, FDA approved treatment. If you suffer from any degree of knee pain, we invite you to regain control of your life by visiting Wellness Institute of Illinois, a state-of-the-art medical facility.

WHAT IS OSTEOARTHRITIS (OA)?

Osteoarthritis, also known as degenerative joint disease, is the most common type of arthritis. In osteoarthritis, the surface layer of cartilage breaks down and wears away. This allows the bones under the cartilage to rub together, resulting in pain, swelling and loss of motion of the joint. Although in some people it progresses quickly, in most individuals joint damage develops gradually over years.

WHAT ELSE IS AVAILABLE TO TREAT KNEE PAIN?

After careful study and several trials, the FDA approved a new treatment aimed at helping those with knee pain. This new treatment is a high-tech answer for all those who think that surgery, dietary supplements and prescription medications are the only option to eliminate knee pain.

HOW DOES THIS TREATMENT WORK?

We use diagnostic ultrasound, allowing the doctor to pinpoint problem areas with extreme accuracy. A viscosupplement is then injected, and the healing process begins. Viscosupplementation bonds with naturally occurring joint fluid to create a lubricating and cushioning layer. It reduces pain, inflammation and swelling of the joint. Patients compare the treatment to getting a shot at the doctor’s office, and report little pain or discomfort.

WHAT IS INJECTED INTO THE KNEE?

Hyaluronic acid is similar to substances that occur naturally in your joint. The outside of the joint (joint capsule) is comprised of a sturdy, fibrous tissue. The lining of the joint capsule contains synovial cells, which secrete a thick, viscous synovial fluid.

Hyaluronic acid contributes to the viscous nature of the joint fluid, nourishes the cartilage, helps eliminate waste products, lubricates the joint and acts as a shock absorber inside the joint.Hyaluronic acid is reduced or lost from those who suffer from osteoarthritis. It is similar to changing the oil in your car.

If your car were to run low on oil, you would have some serious wear and tear on the moving parts.

BOYS TENNIS: JACOBS 6, PRAIRIE RIDGE 1

A first for Eagles

Singles sweep powers Jacobs past nemesis PR

By MIKE DeFABO

mdefabo@shawmedia.com ALGONQUIN – There was no special pep talk.

No rah-rah pre-game speech. No dramatic motivational tactics.

When the Jacobs tennis team hosted Prairie Ridge on Tuesday, no one needed an extra reminder of the importance of this match.

“We don’t have to talk about it,” Jacobs No. 2 singles player Riley Rowan said. “It’s just assumed that we want to win against Prairie Ridge.”

The Golden Eagles had never beaten Prairie Ridge in a dual meet. The drought included two Riley Rowan 4-3 losses the past two seasons.

That changed Tuesday, as the Golden Eagles topped the Wolves, 6-1. Jacobs improved to 14-2 while handing Prairie Ridge (6-1) its first loss of the season.

“This is one we’ve been looking forward to all year,” Jacobs coach Jon Betts said. “It was a great day for all of our players to have a good match.

Across the board, everybody played well.”

The marquee matchup of the day pitted Jacobs No. 1 Kailash Panchapakesan against Prairie Ridge’s Hayden Dzurisin in a rematch of last season’s Fox Valley Conference championship.

Panchapakesan fought from a 2-1 hole in the first set to win the match, 6-4, 6-4.

Panchapakesan plays an aggressive style, typically trying to rush to the net. Dzurisin kept him off balance by taking the pace off the ball from behind the baseline.

“Every point was a battle,” Panchapakesan said. “When I came to the net, it was like, is he going to burn me or am I going to get it over? Those were pretty big for me, winning those points.”

In addition to Panchapakesan’s win, Rowan won, 6-0, 6-0, at No. 2 singles, and junior Patrick Murphy won, 6-1, 6-0, to complete the singles sweep.

In doubles, Jacobs No. 1 Kendrick Chong and Kerwin Chong won, 6-1, 6-2. The Golden Eagles’ No. 2 team of Matt Kastritis and Kyle Burton won, 6-0, 6-3. And the No. 4 team of Jakub Sobkowicz and Winston Yau won, 6-2, 7-5.

The Chong brothers have now won all but one match this season. They qualified for state last season and are again one of the area’s most competitive teams.

“Just because we’re doing well doesn’t mean we expect that we’re going to make it to state,” Kendrick Chong said. “We always want to make one goal at a time. If we do make it to the state tournament, we want to possibly make it to Saturday. That might be a big goal for us, but we want to set the bar high.”

Prairie Ridge earned its victory in No. 3 doubles. Jared Reichert and Ben Lingner won, 6-1, 6-4.

Eastern Michigan says it has “absolutely no plans” to drop football or move to another division or conference. The school released an open letter Tuesday affirming support for the Mid-American Conference program after the Detroit Free Press reported there have been calls for EMU to stop playing Division I football. The paper cited a report by faculty and students that advocated dropping out of D-I in football to save money for students. The letter, signed by interim President Donald Loppnow, president-elect James Smith and eight members of the Board of Regents, says EMU is pleased to be in the MAC, and that any suggestion that the school is considering dropping football or moving to another division or conference is “absolutely false.”

SOFTBALL: McHENRY 14, CRYSTAL LAKE CENTRAL 5

By ALEX KANTECKI

akantecki@shawmedia.com

q UNSUNG HERO

Ravan Kosmalski McHenry, sr., CF

Kosmalski recently moved up to No. 2 in the batting order and responded Tuesday by going 2 for 5 with a home run, a double, two RBIs and three runs scored.

q THE NUMBER

17

Hits for McHenry

q AND ANOTHER THING ...

Crystal Lake Central catcher Monica Menas made her first start behind the plate since suffering a knee injury April 11 against Crystal Lake South. Menas missed nine games but was back in the cleanup spot Tuesday.

RBIs, and Ashley Dehmlow and Maddy Wille each smacked a double and drove in two.

Martens finished with three RBIs and three runs scored, adding a steal.

Erika Breidenbach scored three runs, and Taelor Schmitz drove in one.

“We’re finally getting a hold of the batting order,” said Manssen, whose 33 RBIs this season lead the Warriors.

“We’ve had a pretty new team, but now that we’ve played this many games, we get to see how everyone is fitting together, and where the proper fit is.”

Freshman catcher Tori Boysen, who went 2 for 4 with two runs, is leading off regularly now and is one of eight Warriors hitting .333 or better. Kosmalski, who didn’t have a hit until Saturday, moved up the No. 2 spot and responded with back-to-back games with two hits and three runs.

Martens, a Northwest Herald All-Area first-team selection last season, leads the team with a .589 batting average to go along with five home runs, 10 doubles, 26 runs scored and 26 RBIs. “I was in the biggest slump in the beginning of the season, and with my team cheering me on just gave me the confidence to just hit a dinger,” Kosmalski said. “We’ve been going hard in the cages, and our offense has really

been saving us this year. We always bring our bats to play.”

Three Warriors’ pitchers – Larisa Smits, Lindsey Ciesla and Paige Rauhut – allowed only four hits to Central (9-7), but the Tigers constantly had runners on the bases and took 11 walks.

Smits earned the win for McHenry, allowing two runs on three hits in two innings with a pair of strikeouts. Savanah Frank took the loss, giving up 11 runs (seven earned) with five strikeouts.

Three of McHenry’s five runs in the first were unearned, and Central finished with six errors, putting Frank and the Tigers in an early hole.

Amy Walsh went 2 for 3 with a steal and a run to lead Central, while Jessica Cruz and Alyssa Gawart each had a double. Aly Proper added one RBI in the loss.

“We did not come ready to play in the first,” Tigers coach Brian Strombom said. “Against a team like McHenry, you start spotting them runs and you’re forced to chase, you’re in trouble.”

NOTEWORTHY Pitching dominance: Dundee-Crown’s Sydney Ruggles, the Chargers’ No. 1 starter, entered in relief Wednesday and shut out Crystal Lake South in a 9-2 loss, striking out seven over three innings.

She continued her dominant pitching through the weekend, striking out 14 Friday in a win over Cary-Grove. On Saturday, she tossed 10 innings and punched out 12 in a win over Oak Lawn, 2-1, in the Larkin Slugfest.

She also threw four innings against Joliet West, adding six strikeouts as D-C took second place in the tournament. In all, she allowed only three earned runs in 24 innings (a 1.13 ERA) with 39 strikeouts last week.

Growing up fast: Crystal Lake South nearly put it all together at the Woodstock Tournament on Saturday, beating Johnsburg and Conant, but losing to South Elgin, 3-2, in the championship.

The Gators grabbed a 2-1 lead in the top of the seventh against the Storm, but a pair of errors in the bottom half led to a loss. Still, South has gone 4-3 since a five-game losing streak, and coach Scott Busam is encouraged by the contributions from his younger players.

“There’s a major learning curve between the JV and varsity,” Busam said. “Every day, I can see them thinking softball a little bit smarter. It’s not just, ‘Oh, catch the ball,

throw it to first.’ They’re thinking through the process of what it means to play under pressure.”

South (6-8) has five freshmen up – Christina Toniolo, Maddie Bush, Hannah Corcoran, Emily Sulikowski and Skylar Olsen – along with sophomores Carly Chovanec and Chloe Skorija.

“It’s scary (to be a freshman on varsity), but my teammates are really nice and give me hints and stuff like that,” said Toniolo, whose older sister, Annalisa (a junior), is on the team. “They’ve really been helping me out, so it’s been good.”

CRYSTAL LAKE – After the Warriors scored 25 runs on 31 hits in a doubleheader split against Lake Zurich over the weekend, McHenry softball coach John DiFrancesca was eager to see what his team would do for an encore against Crystal Lake Central on Tuesday.

“We put a 17-spot on the board the other day ... I can’t believe how potent the offense is,” DiFrancesca said. “It’s starting to take shape.”

That’s putting it lightly.

The Warriors jumped on the Tigers for five runs in the first inning and finished with 17 hits – including eight extra-base hits – in a 14-5 Fox Valley Conference crossover victory.

McHenry has scored 149 runs in 17 games, or an average of 8.8 runs a game.

Alex Martens and Ravan Kosmalski each had a double and a home run for the Warriors (12-5), Amanda Manssen was 3 for 5 with a double and three

For many senior citizens, their home is their biggest asset, often accounting for more than 50% of their total net worth.

With the cost of basic necessities such as food on the rise, it’s no wonder why more and more seniors are now using HECM reverse mortgage loans to turn their home equity into extra cash for their retirement.

However, there are still millions of homeowners who could benefit from this government-insured loan but may simply not be aware of this “retirement secret.”

Some people think reverse mortgage loans sound “too good In 1988, President to be true.” You get cash out of Reagan signed the FHA Reverse Mort- your home, and have no more gage bill into law. monthly mortgage payments?

NO MONTHLY MORTGAGE PAYMENTS?** EXTRA CASH? It’s true, no monthly mortgage payments are required with a reverse mortgage;** the homeowners only have to pay for maintenance, property taxes, homeowner’s insurance and, if required, their HOA fees.

Reverse mortgages first took hold when President Reagan signed the FHA Reverse Mortgage Bill into law over 25 years ago to help senior citizens remain in their homes. They’re simply an effective way for folks 62 and older to get the cash they need.

Although today’s HECM reverse mortgage loans have been greatly improved to provide greater protection for homeowners, there are still a lot of misconceptions. For example, many people mistakenly believe the home must be paid off in full in order to qualify for a reverse mortgage, which is not the case.

One key benefit of a reverse mortgage is that it automatically pays off your existing mortgage,

Unfortunately, many homeowners who could benefit from a reverse mortgage loan don’t even bother to get more information due to rumors they’ve heard.

That’s a shame because reverse mortgages are helping many seniors live a better life. In fact, a recent survey by American Advisors Group (AAG), the nation’s number one reverse mortgage lender, found that 95% of their clients are satisfied with their reverse mortgages.

With a reverse mortgage, no monthly mortgage payment is required. Borrowers are responsible for paying property taxes and homeowner s insurance (which may be substantial). We do not establish an escrow account for disbursements of these payments. A set-aside account can be set up to pay taxes and insurance and may be required in some cases. Borrowers must occupy home as their primary residence and pay for ongoing maintenance; otherwise the loan becomes due and payable. The loan also becomes due and payable when the last borrower, or eligible non-borrowing surviving spouse, dies, sells the home, permanently moves out, defaults on taxes or insurance payments, or does not otherwise comply with the loan terms.

q AND ANOTHER THING ...

South coach Jay Mueller was impressed with the play of junior Jenna Ross. Ross assisted on the game-winning goal and had several long passes that kept the ball in the Trojans’ end of the field most of the second half. While exiting the field, Mueller could be heard yelling, “You were awesome today Jenna Ross.” scoreboard first when senior Katherine Siavelis, who scored both South goals, converted a penalty kick with 7:30 remaining in the first half. The lead didn’t last long, as two minutes later Alex Air-

hart tied the score for C-G (6-3-1, 1-1).

South kept the ball in C-G territory most of the second half and was able to take the lead for good when Jenna Ross connected with Siavelis on a perfect pass, and Siavelis did the rest to put the Gators back in front.

“Jenna gave me a great feed and I was able to put it in the goal,” Siavelis said. “This is a huge week for us, and today was a good start. We haven’t won conference since my sophomore season so we really want to get the job done this week.”

For South coach Jay Mueller, this was an important start to a crucial week for the Gators.

“Cary-Grove always plays a good game against us so this was a big win for us,” Mueller said. “In the second half, we did a nice job of controlling the possession and putting pressure on their keeper.”

C-G had its chances but struggled to get any shots on goal in the second half.

“I was happy with our effort, but we fell a little short today,” C-G coach Ray Krystal said. “Give South credit, they did what they needed to do to win today.”

NORTHWEST HERALD Taryn Jakubowski was involved in all three goals as Huntley opened Fox Valley Conference Valley Division play with a 3-0 win over Jacobs on Tuesday at Huntley.

Jakubowski gave the Red Raiders the lead in the 37th minute, with an assist from Alyssa Kaufman.

In the second half, she assisted on both goals, finding Bri Wilder to make it 2-0 and Yulissa Solis for the third.

CRYSTAL LAKE – Tuesday started a huge week for the Crystal Lake South girls soccer team. The Gators started a stretch of three games in four days to finish the Fox Valley Conference Valley Division season. On Tuesday, it was test No. 1 with rival Cary-Grove paying a visit.

“One of our goals this season is to win conference, and we know that with a successful week we can get that done,” Gators keeper Annika Sevcik said. “Cary-Grove always is a tough opponent, so we knew today wouldn’t be easy.”

Sevcik made some key first-half saves, and South got just enough offense as the Gators held on for a 2-1 victory at South.

South (10-5, 3-0 FVC Valley) had the first great scoring chance of the game when junior forward Courtney Sengstock broke free for a breakaway only to be denied first by Trojans keeper Miranda Malone and then on the rebound by C-G freshman defender Megan Harbeck.

BLACKHAWKS

NBA

By MARK LAZERUS

By BETH HARRIS

The Associated Press

CHICAGO – No legacy was at stake Monday night in St. Louis. No jobs were on the line, no coaches were on the hot seat, no front-office shakeup was on the horizon. Hockey is hard, nobody repeats, the St. Louis Blues are very good, and even though the Blackhawks were bounced from the Stanley Cup playoffs in seven remarkable games, well, those three relatively new banners dangling from the United Center rafters surely will soften the blow.

But here’s the cold truth. No matter how great this series was, no matter how memorable and epic, no matter how unfair it was that two of the five best teams in the league met in the first round, the Hawks now are dealing with something they haven’t dealt with in four years: failure.

A championship isn’t the only way to validate a season. There was no shame in losing in Game 7 of the 2014 Western Conference final on a fluky flutter off Nick Leddy’s sweater.

There’s no shame in losing in Game 7 on the road against the Blues, either.

But looking at it in the cold hard light of the next day, a first-round loss, against your most bitter rival, after giving up so much at the trade deadline to bolster your team? That’s as bad as it gets in Hawks-land. That’s the reality when you raise the bar so high, with three Stanley Cups in six years, and 10 series wins in three years.

Stan Bowman, who has so masterfully maneuvered around the salary cap over the past few seasons, did exactly what you want a general manager to do at the trade deadline: He went for it. The championship window was open, and he went for broke.

He landed the top rental forward on the market, Andrew Ladd. He added two depth scorers in Tomas Fleischmann and Dale Weise. He even took a flyer on veteran defenseman Christian Ehrhoff, hoping he could be revived the way Michal Handzus, Michal Rozsival and Brad Richards were before him.

Well, aside from a memorable Game 6 at the United Center, the Hawks got precious little out of any of them.

Ladd was a physical presence in the Blues series, but had just one goal.

Fleischmann was a healthy scratch for Games 5 to 7. Weise had his one shining moment in Game 6, and was invisible for the rest of his Hawks tenure. And Ehrhoff fell behind the once-discarded David Rundblad on the depth chart.

LOS ANGELES – Blake Griffin is out for the rest of the playoffs after aggravating his left quadriceps tendon and Chris Paul had right hand surgery Tuesday, leaving the stunned Los Angeles Clippers without their top two players for the remainder of their first-round series against Portland.

The team said Griffin had an MRI that revealed no further structural damage to the quad that he originally injured in a game on Dec. 25. He missed 41 games and an additional four as punishment for punching the team’s assistant equipment manager, returning on April 3. He’s expected to be ready for training camp in September. Griffin wasn’t made available to reporters.

“You feel bad for Chris, you feel bad for Blake,” said guard J.J. Redick, who is dealing with a nagging left heel injury.

Paul had surgery to repair a hand fracture sustained in the third quarter of Monday night’s 98-84 loss in Game 4 that allowed Portland to tie the best-ofseven series 2-2. He appeared to catch his hand on Gerald Henderson’s jersey.

“C.P. is a reacher. He probably has the best hands in the league. At that time, it got caught in the wrong place,” coach Doc Rivers said. “It’s amazing how things change for you.”

Griffin averaged 15.0 points, 8.8 rebounds and 4.0 assists, while Paul

Blackhawks’ Andrew Shaw (right) and St. Louis Blues’ Kevin Shattenkirk chase after a loose puck along the boards Monday during the first period in Game 7 of a first-round Stanley Cup playoff series in St. Louis.

For this, the Hawks gave up their top forward prospect, Marko Dano; a promising and reliable bottom-six center, Phil Danault; a first-round draft pick this June; and a second-round pick in 2018. For a team that will need more and more cheap young players each year, as the salary cap gets tighter and tighter, it’s nothing short of a disaster.

There’s a bright side. There always is. The Hawks look tired in this series, getting by on sheer force of will. They sounded drained. They were uncharacteristically sloppy, and maddeningly inconsistent from game to game, period to period, shift to shift. After playing into June for three straight years, a long summer could be just what they needed.

After all, the championship window is still open. It closes a little bit each year, as new contracts kick in, as players with loads of miles get older, as the rest of the league starts to catch up. But Jonathan Toews is just 27. So is Patrick Kane. Duncan Keith will be an elite player for years to come. Corey Crawford is better than he’s ever been. And Bowman and Quenneville, despite some missteps this season, still form as accomplished a management duo as any in the league.

In a few years, it might be easy to look back on 2015-16 as a mere blip, a rare stumble. But in the here and now, barring the Hawks’ most remarkable comeback yet, it feels like a lost season. When success is all you know, failure hits even harder.

“We still have home court. No one has won a road game yet in this series,” Rivers said. “Now we have to find a way of winning tomorrow and that’s as far as we can think right now. My job with the guys is to make sure that they’re ready and focused. It’s easy when you have the injuries we have to think all kinds of other stuff.”

NBA PLAYOFFS ROUNDUP

DeRozan scores 34, Raptors rally The Associated Press TORONTO – DeMar DeRozan scored 34 points and the Toronto Raptors held on for a 102-99 victory Tuesday night over the Indiana Pacers and a 3-2 lead in their first-round series when Solomon Hill’s 3-pointer was ruled after the buzzer.

The Raptors overcame 39 points from Paul George and a 13-point deficit in the fourth quarter, getting 14 points from Kyle Lowry. Bismack Biyombo had 10 points and 16 rebounds for the second-seeded Raptors, who can clinch the first seven-game playoff series victory in franchise history by beating the Pacers Friday night in Indiana.

George Hill had 15 points and Myles Turner 14 for the Pacers, who led by as many as 17 and never trailed through the first three quarters before coming unglued in the fourth.

Hawks 110, Celtics 83: At Atlanta, Kent Bazemore sparked a stunning turnaround Tuesday night with three straight 3-pointers in the second quarter, and Atlanta reclaimed the upper hand in their playoff series against Boston with a 110-83 rout.

The Hawks are up 3-2 in the series and positioned to close it out Thursday in Boston. If Game 7 is needed, it would be Saturday in Atlanta.

This one started out horribly for Atlanta, which couldn’t make a shot and trailed 29-19 midway through the second quarter. Then, suddenly, the Hawks looked like an entirely different team.

Led by Bazemore, Atlanta ripped off a 28-8 run to take control before halftime. The Hawks totally blew it open with a 42-point third quarter, heading to the final period up 89-62.

Mike Scott led the Hawks with 17 points.

8 BEARS: BRIAN PICCOLO AWARD WINNERS

SPORTS BRIEF

Miller, Amos key ’16 figures

By KEVIN FISHBAIN

kfishbain@profootballweekly LAKE FOREST – The two players honored Tuesday at Halas Hall with the Brian Piccolo Award are coming off relative breakout seasons and are expected to be integral parts of a Bears team with high expectations in 2016.

Tight end Zach Miller and Adrian Amos Zach Miller received this year’s award, given to a veteran and rookie – voted on by teammates – who “best exemplify the courage, loyalty, teamwork, dedication and sense of humor Brian Piccolo,” the former Bears running back who died in 1970 from embryonal cell carcinoma, “demonstrated.”

“I can say they’re going to be a big part of what we’re going to accomplish, and it’s going to be championship-type of performances, championship-type seasons,” coach John Fox said. “Last year, we didn’t meet those expectations.

Here in the near future, we will meet those.”

In his first healthy NFL season since 2010, Miller had a career year with 439 receiving yards and five touchdowns.

He returned to the team this offseason on a three-year deal and is the leader of the tight ends room after the Bears traded Martellus Bennett. His teammates at the position were on-hand for the ceremony.

“He’s a guy who embodies mental toughness, overcoming Adrian Amos adversity and persevering to chase a dream. And we’re proud to have him back,” offensive coordinator Dowell Loggains said, before joking, “He did get a little cocky and wanted to test free agency. But he came back home to where he needed to be.”

Miller referred to the award as “an absolute honor and privilege for me.” “[Piccolo’s] display of hard work, determination and friendship are things that I want to emulate,” Miller said.

“He was a great football player but an even better teammate, a friend who you could count on at all times.”

While Miller is going to step into the

No. 1 tight end role, Amos, last year’s fifth-round pick, is a player set for a leap in his second season.

“We do expect him to have a much better season this year,” defensive coordinator Vic Fangio said. “He’s one of the guys we’re looking for to make a big jump from Year 1 to Year 2, and we think he’s capable.”

Amos, who is recovering from an undisclosed offseason surgery to take care of something he said he has been “playing with for a long time,” knows he’ll have a better feel for the speed of the game this season.

“The movements of safety, the coverages and the speed of the NFL, what to look for, what [the offense is] doing, the mental aspect of the game,” he said of his improvements, “you move a lot faster when you know a lot more.”

Amos’ ability to ascend as a player is key to a safety position that has long been an issue for the franchise.

“I feel like I have a long way to go, but I feel like I will get there with the support I have around me, the support in the building as well as my family,” he said. “I think I can progress with more ease because of that support.”

Manziel indicted in alleged attack on ex-girlfriend

DALLAS – An attorney for former Cleveland Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel calls the indictment against him “incredible” and said Tuesday the way it’s been handled so far suggests there are problems with the case.

Manziel was indicted Tuesday on allegations by ex-girlfriend Colleen Crowley he hit her and threatened to kill her in January. Crowley said in court documents Manziel struck her so hard she temporarily lost hearing in one ear, and the indictment accuses him of “forcing (her) into a vehicle and against a vehicle dashboard.” Manziel faces a charge of misdemeanor assault related to family violence, which carries up to one year in jail and a $4,000 fine.

Manziel’s attorneys said Tuesday their client will plead not guilty.

One of the attorneys, Robert Hinton, said he thought police and prosecutors had treated the case as though they didn’t want it to go forward. Lawyers who aren’t involved in the case have noted Dallas police chose to refer their case to a grand jury rather than arrest Manziel outright, which is unusual for misdemeanor cases.

CUBS 4, BREWERS 3

By GORDON WITTENMYER gwittenmyer@suntimes.com

• Wednesday, April 27, 2016 *

CHICAGO – Mesa, Las Vegas, Anaheim, Phoenix, St. Louis, Cincinnati.

The Cubs have been everywhere, man – everywhere, it seems, but home since the start of spring training 10 weeks ago.

“It almost seems like we haven’t even played here yet this year,” manager Joe Maddon said before the Cubs opened a six-game homestand with a 4-3 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers Tuesday night at Wrigley Field.

“It’s like we saw the clubhouse briefly and we left,” he said.

The Cubs’ second homestand of the year opens a 19-game stretch in which they’ll have 16 at home, with a chance to pad what’s already their best 20game start since 1907.

Addison Russell helped assure that with a two-out triple in the sixth that drove home Kris Bryant and Ben Zobrist to break a 1-1 tie and propel the Cubs to their 15th victory.

The Cubs started 16-4 in 1907, the only start better for the franchise since 1900.

“The weather’s a little bit different,” Maddon said of temperatures that dipped to 40 at game time. “We’ve been playing in some real good weather circumstances. But it’s the same for both sides. It’s just nice to get back here.”

Cubs starter Kyle Hendricks’ only

walk in five innings of work is all that stood in the way of a chance for him to get the victory.

Kirk Nieuwenhuis followed that leadoff walk in the second with a double, sending Chris Carter to third.

And Aaron Hill drove in the run with a sacrifice fly.

Hendricks finished by retiring 11 of the final 12 he faced, and threw only 69 pitches. But with two on in scoring position and one out in the fifth, Maddon went to the bench for pinch-hitter Tommy La Stella, trailing 1-0.

La Stella walked, and Dexter Fowler followed with a sacrifice fly to tie.

Adam Warren (2-0) took over for Hendricks and retired all six he faced to earn the victory and become the first Cubs reliever to pitch two innings this season.

A pair of unearned runs gave the Cubs the lead in the sixth after Bryant led off the inning with a tapper toward third that Hill couldn’t handle. One out later, Zobrist followed the error with a walk.

That was the end of the work night for Brewers starter Jimmy Nelson (32), replaced by Carlos Torres.

After Jorge Soler flied to right, Russell drove his triple to the wall in right-center for the lead.

In the seventh, a leadoff single by Baez turned into a run on Anthony Rizzo’s two-out double.

CUBS NOTES

BOX SCORE

Montero scratched with stiff back

By GORDON WITTENMYER gwittenmyer@suntimes.com

Catcher Miguel Montero was scratched from Tuesday’s lineup because of back soreness that bothered him over the weekend in Cincinnati but not enough to sideline him until Tuesday.

“It’s just a stiff back, but this weather’s probably not helping things,” manager Joe Maddon said of temperatures that dipped to 40 degrees by game time.

He was considered available off the bench and is to be re-evaluated Wednesday.

The Cubs’ emergency third catcher? Super utility man Javy Baez – who has played six positions since the start of spring training (none of them catcher).

“Javy can go back there in a heartbeat if we really needed to do that,” Maddon said.

If the Cubs need to consider a disabled list move, their top prospect at AAA Iowa is a catcher: Willson Contreras, who entered Tuesday’s game hitting .375 with an .866 OPS.

More to come?

The Cubs opened their homestand Tuesday leading the majors in runs scored (6.3 a game) with nearly double the run differential (plus-68) of the No. 2 team in the majors.

And Maddon is waiting for more.

“You look at the runs scored, and you would think we’re just absolutely crushing the baseball, but we haven’t been,” he said. “There’s a lot of room with a lot of guys for elevation, regarding their numbers.”

It’s the deep counts, singles and

MLB-leading 97 walks that keep the “conga line” moving that are making the difference, Maddon said, while he waits for guys such as Anthony Rizzo, Jason Heyward and Ben Zobrist to find extended grooves.

“We’re moving the baseball more in situations than we did last year,” he said. “I still don’t think we’ve hit anywhere close to what we’re capable of actually hitting, when it just comes to hitting the baseball and hitting for good numbers that way.”

Notes: The Cubs won 12 of their last 13 against the Brewers last season as the teams met Tuesday for the first time this season.

Jason Hammel’s 0.75 ERA through is the lowest for a Cubs starter through four starts in a season since Steve Stone in 1976 (0.51).

10 WHITE SOX 10, BLUE JAYS 1

Sale does it again; Sox win 5th straight

By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN

WHITE SOX 10, BLUE JAYS 1

dvanschouwen@suntimes.com

TORONTO – This winning thing.

Fifteen and six. Hoo-ha!

That losing thing? Three straight years was enough for Chris Sale, who continues to gobble up 2016 wins like a hungry wolf. The White Sox’s ace lefthander breezed through the Toronto Blue Jays in a 10-1 victory Tuesday, the fifth win in a row and seventh in eight games for the Sox (15-6), who are boasting the best record in the American League.

Sale improved to 5-0 and lowered his ERA to 1.66 with eight crisp innings of one-run ball. He struck out six and allowed four hits, including a long but harmless solo homer to Edwin Encarnacion in the seventh inning that made it 7-1.

The Sox, who’ve built their glossy record on great pitching, good defense and timely hitting, are showing small signs of ramping up the offense, too. Banging out 15 hits and topping 10 for a second consecutive night – a first this season – they got home runs from Avisail Garcia, former Blue Jay Dioner Navarro and Adam Eaton and a bases-loaded, two-run double by Austin Jackson. Garcia, the slumping designated hitter, had his second consecutive multihit game, was on

Idaho official: Kobe Bryant’s remarks helped save potato truck

Kobe Bryant’s recent mention of the Great Big Idaho Potato Truck might have helped save the traveling advertisement from a premature retirement, according to the head of a state agency that promotes Idaho potatoes.

The recently retired Los Angeles Lakers guard remarked on the red truck while talking with an ESPN reporter during one of his final games, The Capital Press reported. The truck hauls a 6-ton replica Russet Burbank. It’s on its fifth national tour to help charities and raise awareness of Idaho’s most famous vegetable.

Frank Muir, Idaho Potato Commission president and CEO, said the commission was considering retiring the potato truck after the current tour but comments such as Bryant’s demonstrate why it must stay on the road. Muir believes the commission now is leaning toward keeping the truck going as long as the public is eager to see it.

These freezer labels won’t come off in the cold The WASHINGTON POST A recent special guest for a Washington Post online chat with readers was Washington writer Kristen Hartke. Here are edited excerpts.

I cook in quantity and freeze in reusable containers (opting for glass as often as possible), but I can’t find a good way to label them so the labels don’t come off.

How do restaurants handle this? Do you know of a specialized kind of tape and marker?

Becky Krystal: Try the blue painter’s

tape that you can write on with a marker.

It’s meant to peel off smoothly. Just fold one corner under itself so you have an extra-handy tab to grab when you’re ready to remove it.

Reader response: We use Scotch Magic Tape. Easy to write on and easy to remove. We’ve never had the tape fall off in the freezer. You want to remove the tape while it’s still cold, and do not soak or wash the container before you remove the tape.

Reader response: I buy freezer tape from Amazon.com and use a Sharpie. It sticks to my plastic containers (I use them over and over) as well as the occasional ziplock bag. But I like the idea of folding over one end to make it easier to remove later.

Reader response: I use glass containers with plastic locking lids. I just write on the lids with a Sharpie. The writing usually comes off in the dishwasher, but if it doesn’t, regular rubbing alcohol will remove the Sharpie writing.

Is there anything else I can do with tequila and Cointreau that isn’t a margarita?

M. Carrie Allan: You mean with both

of them together? Heck, yes, all sorts of things. If it’s good tequila, it probably holds up on its own. If it’s a nice reposado or anejo, you could try it old-fashioned style, using the Cointreau as a sweetener.

I also really like using agave spirits in Negroni-style concoctions, and I would think a standard three-way Negroni split (tequila in for gin/Campari/sweet vermouth) would be great with a dash of Cointreau, though you might want to dial back the Campari just a nudge to make sure it doesn’t end up too sweet.

I’m thinking about making pizzas to serve at a volunteer event. I’d need to transport them about 20 minutes, and people will be in and out to eat on their own schedules while they work. Is pizza a bad idea?

Hartke: If I were going to do it, I’d do

white pizza, which is less saucy and wet.

I think it would hold up better for transporting and then sitting around.

Also, think about the crust: You want something that is pretty sturdy, then top it with pesto and cheese.

Embrace the baked Best Baked Weeknight Chicken AP photo

By MELISSA D’ARABIAN The Associated Press

People often ask me what my most-used kitchen tool is (a high-speed blender). But if you were to ask my mom that same question 30 years ago, I am sure she would have answered her Pyrex baking dish.

When I was growing up, probably 75 percent of my meals were made in that thing. Baked fish. Baked chicken.

Baked pasta. Baked rice casserole.

As I got older and moved into my own apartment, I wondered why my mom didn’t explore other techniques a little more. Now that I’m a mom, I understand the appeal of the litany of baked dishes my mom had on her menu. Baked stuff is easy. As a mom of four busy girls, I need something easy to make on a Tuesday night, because between dance class and lacrosse practice, I only have a short window during which to make dinner happen. And since the healthiest dinners are the ones we make ourselves, baked chicken is on frequent repeat in my family meal repertoire.

But I’ve learned a few lessons during the past 40 years, improving significantly upon Mom’s version.

First, I use dark meat chicken with the bone-in. This significantly widens the window of cooking time forgiveness, so if someone is running late, dinner is still juicy. Plus, dark meat chicken has more flavor, and the little extra fat means it’s more filling.

Second, I go heavy with the aromatics – herbs, onion and garlic almost can’t be overused in baked chicken.

Upgrading from white wine to vermouth also is a great flavor-booster. Lastly, I start the chicken with just enough of a sauté to get a tasty, golden crust. But if you really can’t make that happen, don’t be shy about just loading up that glass baking dish and popping it into the oven.

Best Baked Weeknight Chicken Start to finish: 1 hour 15 minutes Servings: 4

8 bone-in chicken thighs, skin removed Kosher salt and ground black pepper

2 tablespoons olive oil, divided 2 teaspoons herbes de Provence (or dried thyme and oregano mixed) 20 cloves garlic, peeled and lightly smashed 3 shallots, thinly sliced 1/4 cup lemon juice 1/4 cup dry vermouth Heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. In a large, Dutch oven over medium-high, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil. Working in batches, briefly brown the chicken thighs on both sides, 6 to 7 minutes, transferring them to a plate as you work.

In a small bowl, toss together the herbes de Provence, garlic, shallots and remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add a little salt and pepper.

Once all the chicken has browned, return it to the pot off the heat. Arrange the chicken in a single, but tight layer. Spoon the shallot and garlic mixture around the chicken. Pour the lemon juice and vermouth evenly around the chicken. Cover the pot and bake for 15 minutes. Uncover and bake for another 15 to 25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches 175 degrees F.

Add big flavor to roasted chicken

By ALISON LADMAN The Associated Press

Spatchcocking isn’t just a fun word to teach your kids to say on the playground. It’s also a great way to get dinner on the table fast.

Also called butterflying, spatchcocking is a simple prep technique that cuts down the time needed to roast a chicken. It does this by changing the shape of the bird, transforming it from a slow cooking football to a faster roasting slab. And the only special equipment you need is a sturdy pair of kitchen shears.

To do this, simply flip the uncooked chicken so the breasts are down. Starting at either the front or back end, find the center, where the backbone runs down the length of the bird. It will take a little oomph at first, but use the shears to cut down the length of the backbone on one side. Once you’ve cut all the way, repeat this on the other side of the backbone, which then should come out easily. If you’re making stock, save the backbone for that. Otherwise, toss it out.

Now flip the bird over, grab the cut sides and spread the bird open. Press down on the bird between the breasts; the goal is to flatten it as much as possible. Once spatchcocked, the chicken can be seasoned and roasted as normal, but will take less time. A standard 3½- to 4-pound chicken roasted at 425 degrees F. will take almost an hour.

A spatchcocked chicken takes about 35 minutes.

Now that you’ve mastered how to speed up your dinner, we’ll help you jazz it up a bit. Why just roast a plain chicken when you could add tons of flavor to it? Here are 10 fresh ideas for making your weeknight chicken dinner way more interesting.

Start with a 3- to 4-pound whole chicken.

Remove any giblets and neck from the cavity, then use paper towels to pat it dry. Spatchcock the chicken as described above. Place the chicken in a roasting pan. Follow one of the flavoring directions below, then roast at 400 degrees F. until the breast reaches 160 degrees F. and the thigh reaches 175 degrees F. Allow to rest for 10 minutes before carving.

1. Citrus-Pepper

Blend 4 tablespoons softened unsalted butter with 2 teaspoons black pepper, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, and the zest of 2 oranges and 2 lemons. Rub the mixture under and over the skin of the chicken and inside the cavity.

Giving you more!

West thought about sacrificing in five hearts, but was dissuaded by the unfavorable vulnerability. Still, although the contract could have gone down two (initial club lead, or the heart ace followed by a club shift), it would probably have escaped for down one (spade-ace lead ruffed and three rounds of diamonds for a club discard).

South had lost three diamond tricks, so had to find the club queen to get home. The key clue was West’s initial pass. He had shown up with 10 points in diamonds, so with the club queen surely would have opened the bidding. Declarer drew trumps, cashed dummy’s club ace, then finessed through East.

Would you have opened with that West hand? Tune in tomorrow. .
