Ill. Senate adjourns without tax plan vote Many Democrats would not risk it in election year By JOHN O’CONNOR The Associated Press SPRINGFIELD – An effort to let Illinois voters consider a proposed overhaul of the state’s income tax system died Tuesday in the General Assembly, but there’s still a strong possibility the November ballot could include an unprecedented four constitutional amendments.

At first, Glenn Chelius wanted a Batmobile to call his own. The 48-year-old fan of the 1960s version of Batman starring Adam West even found a person in Tennessee who could sell him one. “It was pretty reasonably priced for a Batmobile,” the Crystal Lake resident said. “But the more I thought about it, it’s not very practical. It’s a two-seater, you can’t drive it in the rain because there’s no roof on it, you have to store it. As cool as that would have been, my kids are all teenagers now, [and] have always enjoyed boating with friends of ours ... I thought, I’m just going to ... create a Bat Boat or find one for sale.” So Chelius, who does own a Batman costume, went to Crystal Lake Marine Services in Woodstock and asked them to build him a Bat Boat. To put together the design, workers used a 6-inch model of the Bat Boat as their starting point. They eventually drew up designs on Adobe Illustrator for the $20,000 project, said David Piersall, owner of Crystal Lake Marine Services. Workers have built a back fin replicating the

chrome Batman emblems. They hope to have the boat ready to go by Memorial Day. “We are very used to completely rehabbing clients’ boats from the ground up,” Piersall said. “We’re custom fabricators, so we can do anything. This will be the first of this kind of project, and I think it will lead to many more projects like this.” This is the most challenging job ever for Crystal Lake Marine, Piersall said. When designing the boat, Piersall and Chelius wanted it to also be a functional family boat. So they came up with a way to have extra seats in the front of the boat that are covered when the boat is in “Bat mode.” “The whole family will be able to enjoy the boat out on the lake,” Chelius said. “It’s not going to be strictly a parade, show boat or prop. It’s going to be a functional boat.” Chelius even has a short write-up with a boat description, which he plans to put on a display board if he takes the boat to boat shows. If he had decided to buy a new ski boat, Chelius probably would have spent the same amount of money, he said.

CRYSTAL LAKE – A 14-year-old boy won’t face hate crime charges for attacking a classmate at a Crystal Lake middle school in February, under a plea deal a McHenry County judge accepted Tuesday. The boy instead pleaded guilty to two counts of aggravated battery and apologized to the victim’s family inside a juvenile courtroom Tuesday as part of the deal. The boy attacked eighth-grader Omid Babakhani inside a hallway at Hannah Beardsley Middle School in February after he said “Hey Persian” in Babakhani’s direction and then made a derogatory comment about his mother, according to Babakhani at the time. He said the other student put him in a headlock and

Here’s to the season of sharing (the road) From the looks of last weekend, we’ve finally made it back outside. Where have you all been? Like me, you probably spent the past few months, during our interminably long winter, trying to leave the house as little as possible. When we did venture out, we probably had to worry only about dodging snowplows, other motorists in four-wheel-drive vehicles, and the occasional wind-blown garbage can in the roadway. Of course, traversing streets covered in snow, ice and road salt, coupled with the onset of a plethora of potholes, was not easy. But now that the weather has gotten considerably nicer, this is no time to let our guard down. Sure, the snow and ice is gone, but now we’ll all have to get used to sharing the road with runners, bicyclists and motorcyclists. I’ve already heard some grumbling about bad bicyclist

VIEWS Joan Oliver behavior, and no doubt those who ride their bikes on our county roads already have seen some ill-advised moves from passing cars and trucks. So in the spirit of trying to be helpful to both sides, here are a few safety tips from the Illinois Secretary of State’s Office. • Bicyclists are required to travel in the same direction as vehicles. • Bicyclists should travel just to the right of faster-moving traffic whenever possible. Certain conditions, such as broken glass, drain grates, parked cars, left turns and passing, allow a bicyclist to move farther to the left, if necessary. • Drivers must yield the right-ofway to a bicycle just as they would to

another vehicle. • When passing a bicyclist, motorists must do so slowly and leave at least 3 feet of passing space. Crowding or threatening a bicyclist is prohibited. • When following bicyclists, motorists should give them plenty of room and be prepared to stop quickly. Use extra caution during rainy weather. • At night, do not use high beams when you see an oncoming bicyclist. After parking and before opening vehicle doors, check for bicyclists. More information on Illinois bicycle safety laws and tips can be found at www.cyberdriveillinois.com and at www.dot.state.il.us/bikemap/safekids/safebike.pdf. The Illinois Secretary of State’s Office also points out that runners and walkers should use designated paths where provided. On public roads, they should face oncoming traffic and remember to

look and listen for cars. At night, they should stay in well-lighted areas and wear reflective clothing. And let’s not forget to stay alert and considerate of motorcyclists on the roads, as well. They must follow the same rules as the rest of us motorists. But because they are a lot smaller than the average vehicle, we need to pay special attention to them and give them room. Although they are not required, helmets for both bicyclists and motorcyclists are a good idea. Please use them and have your children get into the habit of wearing them as early as possible. If we all use a little common sense and consideration, we’ll all get to enjoy the warmer months safely.

Notalone.gov to assist campus rape victims By KIMBERLY HEFLING The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Want to know whether there’s been a history of sexual assaults on your college campus? The Obama administration has created a new website that will post enforcement actions it’s taken against schools and provide information for victims on where to go for help. A White House task force on sexual assault recommended actions Tuesday that colleges and universities should take to protect victims and inform the public about the magnitude of the problem, such as identifying confidential victim’s advocates and conducting surveys

mendations will play a central role in determining how universities deal with sexual assaults, they only go so far. “As students, it will be our responsibility to put pressure on our university administrations to ensure these recommendations are put into practice,” Gerberg said. Molly Corbett Broad, president of the American Council on Education, said her organization representing college and university presidents welcomed the chance to collaborate with the government on handling sexual assaults, “which the task force notes is a ‘complicated, multidimensional problem with no easy or quick solutions.’ ”

14-year-old girl Quinn’s lawyer acknowledges probe Inquiry ongoing faces first-degree into governor’s murder charge hiring practices Chicago police: Dispute over boy prompted killing By DON BABWIN The Associated Press CHICAGO – A 14-year-old Chicago girl accused of killing another girl in a dispute over a boy tried unsuccessfully to fire a gun before someone fixed it for her and handed it back to her so she could open fire, prosecutors said Tuesday. That detail emerged during a hearing in juvenile court on the latest incident of violence grabbing headlines in Chicago. The alleged shooter appeared at the hearing on a first-degree murder charge in Monday’s slaying of 14-yearold Endia Martin. Chicago Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy told reporters earlier in the day that the girls were fighting over a boy. According to prosecutors, the suspect went to a residence in the Back of the Yards neighborhood on the city’s South Side around 4:30 Monday afternoon to continue a fight that began on Facebook. A visibly upset McCarthy told reporters that the shooting illustrates a point he’s long made: It is far too easy to get a gun in Chicago. For more than a year, McCarthy has sought stiffer state penalties for gun crimes. “What would have been, under any other circumstances, probably a fistfight between two 14-year-old girls because they were arguing over a boy turned into a murder,” he said. According to a statement read in court and relayed later by the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office, the girl point-

SPRINGFIELD – Gov. Pat Quinn has named a permanent director to lead the Department of Children and Family Services. The Democratic governor promoted interim director Bobbie Gregg to a permanent post Tuesday as head of the state’s child welfare agency. Before serving as interim director, she was a deputy chief for DCFS. She has also served as an assistant attorney for the U.S. Department of Justice. Gregg is the fourth agency director since 2013. Arthur Bishop resigned from the helm of the agency in February following reports of previous legal problems at a social services agency in Chicago. Bishop pleaded guilty stealing to money from clients almost two decades ago, but later denied the allegations.

She then “handed the gun to an individual in the group to clear the malfunction and they handed it back” to her, at which point she opened fire with what police said is a .38-caliber revolver, striking the Martin girl in the back and a 16-year-old girl in the arm. The 14-year-old suspect’s name has not been released because she is charged as a juvenile. Chicago police said Tuesday night that a 17-year-old boy also has been charged in connection with the shooting for allegedly hiding the gun that was used. He faces a charge of felony aggravated unlawful use of a weapon, two counts of felony unlawful use of a weapon, and a misdemeanor reckless damage charge. Police did not release his name because he’s charged as a juvenile. McCarthy said a third person – an adult – was taken into custody but hasn’t been charged. Police are investigating whether that person or the 17-year-old may have brought the gun to the scene of the fight. The girl charged was represented by an attorney with the county’s public defender office, which declined comment.

Shooting at FedEx center in Georgia Employee opens fire, wounds six By KATE BRUMBACK The Associated Press KENNESAW, Ga. – A FedEx employee wearing ammunition draped across his chest “like Rambo” opened fire Tuesday at a package-sorting center outside Atlanta, wounding six people before committing suicide, police and witnesses said. In addition to a shotgun, the gunman also had an undisclosed number of Molotov cocktails, but he did not use them in the attack, police said. The suspect, identified by police as 19-year-old Geddy Kramer of Acworth, was found dead inside. He worked as a package handler at the sprawling facility, Cobb County police Sgt. Dana Pierce said. Investigators have an idea of what his motive may have been, but they were not prepared to disclose it yet, Pierce said. Three of the victims were critically wounded, though only one remained in critical condition by late afternoon. Police say three were in stable condition, and two others were treated and released. Kramer first drove his car to a security shack outside the building and shot a guard there before heading inside, the news release said. David Titus, a FedEx truck driver, said he was just coming to work around 6 a.m. when he saw a security guard shot in the abdomen. He said he heard more gunfire later from inside the building. “It was chaos,” Titus said. “Everyone was running, ducking and hiding, trying to get out of there.” FedEx clerk Liza Aiken said she was working when she heard something drop, looked to her left and saw the gunman. “He had bullets strapped across his chest like Rambo” and held a knife, Aiken said at the entrance to a parking lot where employees had gathered after the attack. Before she could continue, a woman wearing a FedEx jacket told Aiken to stop talking and led her away. A 28-year-old man who received surgery was in critical condition late Tuesday, while a 52-year-old woman who received surgery was upgraded to stable, police said. A 22-year-old man’s condition was also upgraded to stable. Among the other wounded were a 42-year-old woman and two men, ages 38 and 19. The gunman’s father, Scott Kramer, released a statement expressing the family’s condolences to the shooting victims. “Our prayers are for their complete and speedy recovery. Our thoughts are also with all the workers at FedEx who were affected by Geddy’s actions. We make no excuses for his actions and are shocked and devastated by them. There really are no adequate words at a time like this,” Kramer said. Multiple state and local agencies were working with the FBI to collect evidence at the package center in Kennesaw. The facility about 25 miles north of Atlanta sorts packages and loads them onto vehicles for delivery. It’s next to the general-aviation airport for suburban Cobb County. After the attack, police blocked roads leading to the FedEx center. Dozens of workers were taken by car and bus to a skating-rink parking lot to call relatives for rides. Some family members got out of their cars and hugged the workers. Several employees said they had been told not to speak with reporters.

A firefighter who came upon the body gently pulled the toddler from her arms. “It makes you just take a breath now,” said next-door neighbor Kenneth Billingsley, who witnessed the scene at what was left of Ruth’s Child Care Center in this logging town of 6,600. “It makes you pay attention to life.” Bennett, 53, was among at least 35 people killed in a twoday outbreak of twisters and other violent weather that pulverized homes from the Midwest to the Deep South. The child, whose name was not released, was alive when she was pulled from Bennett’s arms and was taken to a hospital. Her condition was not known. As crews in Mississippi and Alabama turned from search-

Destroyed automobiles and remnants of homes cover the ground Tuesday in a south Louisville, Miss., neighborhood. A dangerous storm system that spawned a chain of deadly tornadoes over two days has killed dozens from the Midwest to the Deep South. and-rescue efforts to cleanup, forecasters began to downplay their initially dire predictions of a third round of deadly twisters Tuesday. Meterologists said the storm system had weakened substantially by evening, although some tornado watches and warnings were still in effect for isolated areas.

In North Carolina, the National Weather Service reported tornado touchdowns in five counties Tuesday, but the twisters caused only moderate structural damage to homes and toppled some trees. Two cities in the state reported extensive flooding from the storm system. No injuries were reported.

One of the hardest-hit areas in Monday evening’s barrage of twisters was Tupelo, Miss., where a gas station looked as if it had been stepped on by a giant. Francis Gonzalez, who also owns a convenience store and Mexican restaurant attached to the service station, took cover with her three children and two employees in the store’s cooler as the roof over the gas pumps was reduced to aluminum shards. “My Lord, how can all this happen in just one second?” she said in Spanish. On Tuesday, the growl of chain saws cut through the otherwise still, hazy morning in Tupelo. Massive oak trees, knocked over like toys, blocked roads. Neighbors helped one another cut away limbs. “This does not even look like a place that I’m familiar with right now,” said Pam Montgomery, walking her dog in her neighborhood. “You look down some of the streets, and it doesn’t even look like

there is a street.” By the government’s preliminary count, 11 tornadoes – including one that killed 15 people in Arkansas – struck the nation’s midsection on Sunday, and at least 25 ravaged the South on Monday, the National Weather Service Storm Prediction Center said. Among those killed was 21-year-old University of Alabama swimmer and dean’s list student John Servati, who was taking shelter in the basement of a Tuscaloosa home when a retaining wall collapsed on him. His death – and that of at least two others in Alabama – came the day after the third anniversary of an outbreak of more than 60 tornadoes that killed more than 250 people across the state. Louisville was one of the hardest-hit areas, with officials reporting at least nine dead in and around town because of a powerful tornado with a preliminary rating of EF4, just shy of the top of the scale.

Supreme Court upholds EPA rule on cross-state pollution By DINA CAPPIELLO and SAM HANANEL The Associated Press WASHINGTON – In a major anti-pollution ruling, the Supreme Court on Tuesday backed federally imposed limits on smokestack emissions that cross state lines and burden downwind areas with bad air from power plants they

can’t control. The 6-2 ruling was an important victory for the Obama administration in controlling emissions from power plants in 27 Midwestern and Appalachian states that contribute to soot and smog along the East Coast. It also capped a decades-long effort by the Environmental Protection Agency

to ensure that states are good neighbors and don’t contribute to pollution problems elsewhere. The rule upheld Tuesday was EPA’s third attempt to solve the problem. The rule, challenged by industry and upwind states, had been cast by foes as an attempt by the Obama administration to step on states’ rights and to shut down aging coal-fired

On Tuesday, the court upheld a rule adopted by the EPA in 2011 that would force polluting states to reduce smokestack emissions that contaminate the air in downwind states. The high court said the EPA, under the Clean Air Act, can implement federal plans in states that do not adequately control downwind pollution.

power plants. Opponents said the decision could embolden the agency to take the same tack later this year when it proposes rules to limit carbon pollution. EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy has said the agency will be flexible and work with states on the first-ever controls on power plants for the gases blamed for global warming.

Women could decide fate of Senate Democrats seeking to gain edge among female voters in midterm election By BILL BARROW The Associated Press

AP photo

Igor Strelkov, military commander of pro-Russian militias talks to journalists Sunday in Slovyansk, Ukraine; in the background, is one of three blindfolded and bound men who are allegedly the captured Ukrainian secret service members.

Militia commander’s reveal leads to talk of Russia’s involvement EU, Ukraine claim leader is Russian intelligence officer By PETER LEONARD The Associated Press SLOVYANSK, Ukraine – When shadowy commander Igor Strelkov appeared before the cameras recently in green combat fatigues and a clipped mustache, he did more than reveal the face of the insurgency rocking eastern Ukraine. He strengthened the case that Russia is behind the turmoil. The commander did not address Ukraine and European Union assertions that he is a Russian intelligence officer. But he told journalists that he and his men entered Ukraine from Crimea, which Russia annexed in March after an insurgency that Russian President Vladimir Putin now admits involved Russian troops. Strelkov’s assertion that many of the insurgents are not locals undermines rebel

claims that the insurgency is a spontaneous uprising, rather than a coordinated operation backed by outside forces. “The militia is of course strongly sprinkled with volunteers from other regions,” Strelkov said in a taped interview with Russian tabloid Komsomolskaya Pravda. He estimated that a third of the fighters are not Ukrainian. He backtracked Tuesday in an interview with Russian TV, claiming 90 percent of the militiamen were Ukrainian. The EU on Tuesday included Strelkov among 15 new people targeted by sanctions. EU documents identify him as a member of the Russian military intelligence agency GRU, as do Ukrainian authorities. The commander himself was cryptic about his origins in the weekend interview. Equally murky are the origins of Strelkov’s insurgents, their operations and their weapons. They have proven themselves to be ruthless and effective, running their campaign with unerring foreknowledge of Ukrainian security operations.

EU lists 15 new people as targets for sanctions By JOHN–THOR DAHLBURG The Associated Press BRUSSELS – The European Union on Tuesday released the names of 15 new people it is targeting for sanctions because of their roles in the Ukraine crisis. The list includes Gen. Valery Gerasimov, chief of the Russian General Staff and first deputy defense minister, and Lt. Gen. Igor Sergun, identified as head of GRU, the Russian military intelligence agency. The decision taken by the EU governments’ ambassadors in Brussels brings the total number of Russians or pro-Russian individuals in Ukraine targeted by the EU’s sanctions to 48. Any bank accounts or other economic assets the sanctioned individuals hold in EU member countries are now supposed to be frozen, and they will no longer be al-

lowed to travel to the EU’s 28 member states. The EU move comes after the U.S. decided to broaden its own sanctions to include seven Russian government officials and 17 companies with links to Russian President Vladimir Putin. Russia’s Foreign Ministry protested that the EU action shows “a complete misunderstanding of the political situation” in Ukraine, and called it “an open invitation to local neo-Nazis to continue creating lawlessness and extrajudicial killings against the civilian population of the southeast.” Others on the new EU include Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Kozak, who was appointed by Putin to manage the integration of Crimea into Russia, and Oleg Belaventsev, Putin’s plenipotentiary representative in Crimea.

ATLANTA – Deciding which party controls the Senate for the final two years of President Barack Obama’s tenure could come down to women – both the handful who are running in significant races and the moderate female voters who often make the difference in close elections. With Republicans needing a net gain of six seats to claim the Senate majority, Democrats want to replicate the kind of advantage among female voters – the so-called “gender gap” – they usually post in presidential election years. To do it, they’re angling for advantage in midterm election states with competitive races on issues they believe will make a difference: Pocketbook policy on minimum wage and pay equity, education, health

vate their core supporters and win over independents, who are more conservative. “In states where Democrats don’t win that often, this is not the year they’re going to reverse the trend,” said Republican pollster Glen Bolger, who works for North Carolina GOP Senate front-runner Thom Tillis. “It’s hard to overcome the fundamentals with tactics, no matter how good a campaign you run.” Anzalone conceded as much, but said the Democratic strategy isn’t about winning on single, hot-button issues “isolated to women.” Instead, it’s about a range of issues that combine to “help take Republicans off their narrative.” It’s not just Democrats wooing women. Even in races where both candidates are men, the competitors are acutely aware of the need to appeal to female voters, or at least not alienate too many.

ocrats, he added, “the more likely they are to win.” Republicans, meanwhile, bristle at the implication that the GOP agenda hurts women. In the 2012 elections, President Barack Obama cruised to re-election, and his party kept control of the Senate in part with their battle cry that on those issues and more, the GOP was waging a “war on women.” Those in the GOP say the November results will be more about the economy and the country’s overall direction, with voter discontent toward Obama, his job performance and – critically, his signature health care overhaul – trumping whatever issues Democrats try to emphasize. Of course, maximizing the gender gap could be tricky for Democrats in a midterm election year when an older, whiter electorate makes it even harder for Democrats to moti-

Two Syrian cities rocked by fatal car bombing, mortar DAMASCUS, Syria – A massive double car bombing and a mortar strike targeted pro-government neighborhoods Tuesday in two of Syria’s largest cities, killing at least 54 people a day after President Bashar Assad declared his candidacy for re-election. The attacks in Damascus and Homs heightened fears of an escalation ahead of the contentious June 3 vote and showed that despite a series of battlefield setbacks, rebels remain capable of hitting the government and its core support. Now in its fourth year, Syria’s conflict has left the country a chaotic tableau of localized battles whose front lines shift back and forth, but have little

In Homs, the rebels are growing desperate as government forces ramp up their assault on the last remaining pockets of opposition in the Old City. Among the hundreds of fighters still holding out in besieged districts, some talk of surrender while others have lashed out at the government with suicide car bombings in pro-Assad districts. Tuesday’s double car bombing struck near the pro-government Zahra and Abbasiyeh neighborhoods – an area predominantly inhabited by Christians and members of Assad’s Alawite sect. At least 40 people were killed and another 116 wounded, the official SANA news agency said. The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights put the death toll at 40 and said more than 80 were wounded.

impact on the wider war. The map of control has remained largely unaltered: Assad holds sway in Damascus and the corridor that runs up to the Mediterranean coast, while the rebels control most of the north along the Turkish border and the Kurdish minority controls a corner in the northeast. But the rebels are feeling squeezed in the capital, Damascus, and in Homs, Syria’s third-largest city and an opposition stronghold since the beginning of the uprising against Assad. The government has taken a two-pronged approach to crushing resistance in both areas: suffocating blockades that eventually force cease-fires and a fierce offensive along the Lebanese frontier that has severely restricted the flow of weapons and fighters along cross-border supply lines.

Republican measure to set term limits was not voted on • SENATE Continued from page A1 residents to pay higher rate. But majority Democrats wouldn’t risk an election-year tax vote until they had assurances of similar House endorsement, a prospect that fell short. “It’s a big decision and some folks still had questions they couldn’t quite answer to their own satisfaction,” said Harmon, an Oak Park Democrat. “With a little more time and education we’re going to be able to convince a supermajority in both chambers.” A Republican measure to limit statewide executives such as the governor to two terms met a similar fate. Shot down in a Senate subcommittee, it served its purpose by allowing the GOP to campaign against Democrats, including Gov. Pat Quinn, for opposing term limits. Four other proposed

amendments could meet voters at the polls on Nov. 4. That would be unprecedented in a state where voters have been asked about amending the 44-year-old constitution only 21 times, approving 11 of them, according to the Legislative Reference Bureau. The General Assembly approved two amendment questions – one to strengthen crime victims’ rights and one designed to stamp out voter suppression. Bruce Rauner, the Republican candidate for governor, announced that a group he organized to limit legislators to eight years in office, change the size of the General Assembly and limit lawmakers’ ability to override a gubernatorial veto will deliver on Wednesday enough citizen signatures to get it on the ballot. And a group called Yes for Independent Maps says it has enough signatures to let voters decide whether to set up a non-political, independent

Charles Wheeler III, director of the Public Affairs Reporting Program at the University of Illinois at Springfield, said the authors of the Illinois Constitution

limited the ability to change the document. They were fearful of a wide-open process like California’s, where voters can put most anything on the ballot with enough support, he said. The ballot will only be the second to carry a citizen-ini-

tiated question. The other was in 1980, when then-political-activist Quinn persuaded voters angered by a pay raise for lawmakers to cut back the size of the Illinois House. The tax plan would replace Illinois’ flat tax of 5 percent on individuals, which was increased from 3 percent three years ago on what lawmakers said would be a temporary basis. But Quinn now says it needs to be permanent to avoid drastic service cuts. Harmon’s plan would increase the rate of taxation for wealthier residents. Approving a ballot initiative takes 36 votes in the Senate and 71 in the House. Democrats have 71 seats in the House, but not all were on board, and Republicans were offering no help. Rep. Jack Franks, a Marengo Democrat, said progressive tax supporters touted the idea as a reduction in taxes – but that’s if Quinn gets his way

and the temporary tax is extended. “The fact is, the temporary tax is set to expire and this is a major tax increase on the middle class,” Franks said. “We do not have our fiscal house in order and if we throw more money at the problem, in a few years they’re going to say, ‘We need more money.’” Chicago Democratic Rep. Christian Mitchell, who sponsored the House version of the Harmon tax amendment, said, “We got further than anyone expected in a very short time. I’m in it for the long haul.” While the Senate waited on a tax vote into the early evening, a Senate subcommittee dashed GOP hopes for executive term limits. Minority Leader Christine Radogno of Lemont sought approval for a ballot question limiting statewide officers, such as the governor or secretary of state, to two terms. Two of the three members of the panel voted against it.

Blocking the college door Rising student debt poses a serious problem, as do colleges that mislead students, take advantage of taxpayer-funded student aid or do a poor job of preparing students for work. But as much as we would like to believe that the Obama administration is serious about tackling these issues, we are troubled by proposed regulations that target for-profit colleges while largely letting the rest of higher education off the hook. The likeliest effect of the rule would be to make it more difficult for poor Americans to earn a secondary degree. A proposal unveiled last month by the Education Department would cut off financial aid to career-oriented programs whose graduates have high student-loan debt relative to their incomes. This is the administration’s second attempt to impose the so-called gainful-employment rule. This measure was bitterly opposed by the for-profit education sector, which successfully sued to block the first version in 2012. The regulations, also criticized by Democrats and Republicans in Congress, are now open for public comment. Administration officials deny they are singling out for-profit institutions, arguing that the measures tying student debt and loan default to financial aid would apply to all careertraining programs. Blurred in that claim is that degree programs in the for-profit sector would have to meet the stringent new standards but degree programs offered by public and private nonprofit institutions would not. Steve Gunderson, who heads the Association of Private Sector Colleges and Universities, noted in a March 13 letter to Education Secretary Arne Duncan that if the proposed debt-to-earning standards were applied across higher education, programs failing the metric would include the journalism program at Northwestern University, the law program at George Washington University and the social work program at Virginia Commonwealth University. The for-profit education industry has come under scrutiny because of unscrupulous recruitment practices and shoddy programs at some schools. It is hard, though, to see the logic of requiring schools that serve a challenging population of poor and working-class students to meet 845 pages of cumbersome standards that even many traditional schools would be hardpressed to meet, particularly since the wrongdoers are in the minority and new protections have already been put in place. There are fairer and less punitive approaches to making schools accountable. Robert Silberman heads Strayer Education, which has a stellar reputation and would be able to meet the proposed standards, but, as he once told The New York Times, it would make more sense to require schools to share in the losses when students default or to establish a national eligibility test to screen out students who lack the skills to attend college. Harvard University researchers who examined for-profit programs recommended strengthening disclosure requirements or requiring counseling by an independent third party to make sure prospective students understand financial aid packages and student loan obligations. Public comment on the draft ends May 27. Administration officials told us that they are open to all ideas and that nothing is set in stone. We hope that’s so, because the likely outcome of implementing the draft as written is that schools will admit only students who pose the least risk. That will make it harder for minorities, poor people and nontraditional students to get the kind of post-secondary education that might help them improve their lives. The Washington Post

Ignore Mike Madigan Mike Madigan opposes the Yes for Independent Maps movement. Duh! Of course the speaker of the House thinks it’s a bad idea to change the way Illinois draws its political boundaries. The current system has helped make the Chicago Democrat the most powerful politician in the state. The 2011 map helped Democrats achieve veto-proof, threefifths majorities in both the House and Senate in the 2012 elections. However, what’s good for Madigan and Democrats is not good for Illinois. Madigan’s recent jabs at Independent Maps probably are merely a warm-up for the fight that’s about to come. Independent Maps has more than enough signatures to put a referendum question on the November ballot. The group plans to deliver the petitions Thursday. Madigan or his allies surely will challenge signatures in an effort to kill the measure. The referendum question that we hope makes it on the November ballot would amend the constitution so a nonpartisan commission could draw political boundaries after the 2020 census. It will be up to you whether that referendum question turns into law. (Peoria) Journal Star

Religion and school To the Editor: Why did students from Lakes Community High School visit Blue Lotus Temple on April 23? Am I the only person who sees a problem here? Although meditation is, at worse,

useless and, at most, beneficial, and therefore not likely to cause harm, I wonder why students from a public school would be there. Just because it doesn’t hurt anybody or even that it’s good for you does not mean it is appropriate in every situation. It would be all right if students happened to be from the same high school and were there voluntarily, but taking a trip and engaging in a religious practice strikes me as a little odd. Schools are public. Therefore, they can’t promote religion. Their purpose is secular. Considering that schools can’t even have quiet time for meditation/prayer, it seems hypocritical to have a class field trip to a temple. Are they going to go to St. John’s Lutheran Church next? I don’t think so. The Supreme Court rules on this in Abington School District v. Schempp, Engel v. Vitale, Wallace v. Jaffree, Lee v. Weisman, Santa Fe Independent School District v. Doe, and Lemon v. Kurtzman. Although you might think I’m being a Debbie Downer, Supreme Court rulings are the supreme law of the U.S. whether you think those

Early American values, pt. 5 To the Editor: There are too many negative social changes to mention them all. Perhaps the most important changes are those of family values. I talked about the early American values before in this treatise. The goal of early American settlers was to provide for their family. Their needs were simple: a warm home, sufficient food and water, clothing and the ability to care for and educate their children. In the beginning, he also had to protect his family from harm until locally elected sheriffs began enforcing the law and U.S. Army troops provided protection against Indians.

Today’s culture allows abortion, homosexuality, same-sex marriage, in some states legal prostitution, in some states indiscriminate use of marijuana, casinos and uncontested divorce. It is no wonder that a majority of American voters elected a man such as Barack Obama to lead our country. A man listening to a pastor for 20 years. A pastor, Jeremiah Wright, who married him to his wife, Michelle, and baptized his children. A preacher who, when he was given a national presence, said, “Don’t say God Bless America, say God Damn America.” When asked, Barack said he never heard The Rev. Wright make negative comments. See conclusion next month. Clifford Evenson Johnsburg

We’re not prepared to help mentally ill homeless When most people think of the homeless, often they are flooded with images of a dirty old man in tattered clothes who looks like Jethro Tull’s Aqualung, pushing his junk – his whole world – in a banged up shopping cart. When they complete the picture, they may spot a bottle wrapped in a greasy bag in his coat pocket, and notice that he is carrying on a heated conversation with no one in particular. In Chicago, Thresholds’ Mobile Assessment Unit (MAU) works with men and women, some of whom may fit this description, on the periphery of society, struggling with homelessness, mental illness, trauma and, often, substance abuse. The staff of the MAU do noble work, riding trains to find the mentally ill homeless. They go to emergency rooms and police precincts, engaging these folks in services, starting with a friendly conversation, a meal, perhaps clothes and, ultimately, medical and psychiatric care. We don’t have a program in McHenry County such as the MAU, and folks might argue

FIGHTING HOMELESSNESS

David Esposito that it’s because we don’t have “that” kind of homelessness in our affluent county. If you ask the volunteers at your local PADS church site, or the various shelters throughout the county, you would find that they would beg to differ. I admit, the stereotypical homeless person isn’t often seen on our streets, but we have our share of homeless individuals suffering from mental illness. Maybe they aren’t as desperate as Aqualung, but they are in need. Unfortunately, the emergency shelters and PADS sites are ill prepared to manage these hardest-to-serve members of our community. Still, they try. Homeless individuals who struggle with mental illness often find it difficult to live in shelters. Their behaviors often negatively affect other guests, so they are asked to leave. Perhaps they get hospitalized, or, worse,

incarcerated. Unfortunately, there is no place for them to go at discharge, so they end up back in the streets, repeating a cycle of stabilization and deterioration. Pioneer’s PADS program provides a full range of social services for the homeless in our community, including psychiatric care, case management and emergency shelter. Thresholds, Pioneer and other partner agencies provide community support, as well as transitional and permanent supported housing for some of these individuals. We wish we could reach more. Limits in funding and physical space make it impossible. The goal of these HUD-funded housing programs is to assist these individuals in reclaiming their lives, getting themselves stable and healthy and, ultimately, transitioning them into their own apartments. Unfortunately, limits in affordable housing opportunities or housing vouchers make transitioning extremely difficult. So we get a backlog in our homeless residences, because our current residents have

nowhere else to go. May is Mental Health Awareness Month. This year’s theme is “Mind Your Health,” and rightly so since many individuals who struggle with mental illness also experience other significant medical issues. At Thresholds McHenry, we are working to help county residents who struggle with mental health challenges, including the homeless, to reclaim their lives and work to recover from their illness and all the problems that stem from this illness. With our partner service providers, we seek to provide comprehensive care and support for these vulnerable residents. If you are interested in learning how you can help in ending homeless in our county, please join the conversation. The McHenry County Continuum of Care to End Homelessness meets at 9 a.m. every second Thursday of the month to address the issues of homelessness in our communities. • David Esposito is the Director of Strategic Housing Initiatives at Thresholds.

McHenry approves budget Plan includes funds for road projects, raises By EMILY K. COLEMAN

ecoleman@shawmedia.com McHENRY – Road improvements, a boat ramp and improvements to the 22-yearold McHenry Municipal Center are among some of the projects laid out in the balanced city budget approved Monday evening. The McHenry City Council voted, 6-0, with one alderwoman absent on the $38.6 million budget, an increase of 3.94 percent over last year. There was little discussion on the budget, which unanimously passed the Finance

Committee earlier this month, City Administrator Derik Morefield said. One alderman clarified that the $400,000 set aside for the city’s street resurfacing program was separate from the other dollars the city has committed to other street improvements, including the extension of Knox Drive and improvements to McCullom Lake Road, Bull Valley Road and the intersection of Routes 120 and 31. The resurfacing will target about 2 miles of McHenry’s roughest roads and be the first time the city has funded a separate streets program since fiscal 2011-12. Despite including other big ticket items, much of the budget’s increase, particularly in the city’s $18.9 million general fund budget, is slated for employee raises, and increased health insurance and retire-

ment costs, Morefield said. All city employees received step increases, which are laid out in the various salary schedules for union and nonunion employees. Nonunion employees haven’t taken a step in four years and have received cost-of-living increases that averaged out to 1.3 percent, Morefield said. Next year the city will switch to a merit-based system instead of a salary schedule for its 40 nonunion employees, he said. The contracts for one of the three unions – the one that represents police dispatchers, community service officers and records clerks – expires at the end of April and is still being negotiated, but the budget includes an estimated 2 percent cost-of-living increase for all union members on top of their step increase.

Historical society to unveil Peasley exhibit By SHAWN SHINNEMAN sshinneman@shawmedia.com UNION – In life, Don Peasley spent his time with a lens on the world around him. A year after his death, the McHenry County Historical Society is turning the focus on Mr. Woodstock himself. The organization Don on Sunday will Peasley unveil a Don Peasley exhibit, a collection celebrating the local historian and journalist while providing assurance his work will live on. “Twenty years from now, if someone walks into the historical society ... they’ll have an idea of who this guy was and what kind of impact he had on the area,” McHenry

County Historical Society Administrator Kurt Begalka said. Friends, family and co-workers of Peasley’s will form a panel to discuss his contributions and inspirations Sunday at the historical society museum, 6422 Main St., Union. The free event runs from 1 to 4 p.m. Sunday. The exhibit centers on a re-creation of Peasley’s home office, featuring a portion of the desk he used since the early 1970s and a word processor from the 1990s. The space will be filled in with Peasley knickknacks such as his favorite coffee mug and the jar of Acme rubber cement he’d been using to paste his clips into scrapbooks since the 1940s – a jar depleted but not quite empty.

CRYSTAL LAKE: FUNDRAISER

Run for the Arts 5K gets supercharged By JEFF ENGELHARDT jengelhardt@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – Residents should not be alarmed if they see Superman or Batman running through downtown Crystal Lake on Sunday. After 16 years, the Bob Blazier Run for the Arts will have a different look in 2014 as participants will receive a cape and mask to wear during the 5K or can come dressed as their favorite superhero. It is the first time the popular annual fundraiser for the Raue

Center for the Arts will have a theme. Melissa Thomfohrda, marketing director for the Raue Center, said the idea for the theme came during an event planning meeting and was inspired by the success of other local 5K races with themes such as the annual Kiwanis Santa Run for Kids where participants run in Santa suits. Adding the theme has already paid dividends as pre-registered participants are at an all-time high with more than 350 people signed up for

the event. “A lot of work goes into putting on a 5K. We look forward to it all year,” Thomfohrda said. “It is definitely vital to the center and keeping us going.” Those interested can still register for the event, which is scheduled to start at 8 a.m. Sunday at the Raue Center for the Arts, 26 N. Williams St. in Crystal Lake. Registration forms can be downloaded at www.rauecenter.org and returned to the center office with the $40 fee.

Registration also will be available the day of the race starting at 7 a.m. “It’s a great family event that is accessible for the whole community,” Thomfohrda said. Last year’s event attracted more than 350 people and raised roughly $24,000. For in-

formation about the event, visit www.rauecenter.org or call 815-356-9010. The Raue Center offers programs including Williams Street Repertory, its in-house production company; Sage Studio, which offers theater, film and improvisation classes; and Mission Imagination, an educational performing arts program that serves thousands of children. It also attracts numerous productions and concerts to give residents a nearby entertainment destination.

CRYSTAL LAKE – In preparation for their spring garage sale, the Environmental Defenders of McHenry County will be taking donations of gently used items. Items will be accepted from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. May 10 and from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. May 12-14 at the Algonquin Township Road District garage, 3702 Route 14. What type of things will be accepted? Just about anything that is resellable with a few exceptions: small appliances and electronics must be in working order, no monitors or TVs, no clothes, no baby carriers or cribs, no large appliances. Not sure if they’ll take it? Email mcdef@ owc.net or call 815-338-0393. “The Defenders have been involved with diverting things from the landfills for over 40 years,” said Christy Matsuoka, the Defenders’ office administrator. “Doing

a garage sale is a form of recycling. Buying secondhand items instead of new ones keeps things out of the landfills, saves you money and supports a McHenry County nonprofit.” Sale dates for the garage sale are from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. May 15-17. The Environmental Defenders of McHenry County is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and donations are tax deductible to the extent allowed by law. The group is dedicated to the preservation and improvement of the environment, and provides the community with educational programs and volunteer action on pollution prevention, sustainable land use and energy and natural resource conservation. For information, visit their website at www.mcdef. org, their Facebook page at www.facebook.com/EnvironmentalDefenders, or call 815-338-0393.

LAKE IN THE HILLS: MUSTANGS WALK FOR TEAGAN

Marlowe Middle School has walkathon NORTHWEST HERALD LAKE IN THE HILLS – Marlowe Middle School on Thursday will begin its second annual Mustangs Walk for Teagan. The 24-hour walkathon is scheduled from 2 p.m. Thursday to 2 p.m. Friday. According to a news release from the school, 415 students will participate, and 90 parents will volunteer at the event. Last year, the school raised more than $22,000 for the Opening Doors with Teagan Foundation, which provides financial support for families affected by pediatric cancer. The foundation offers assistance to help families with rehab, therapy and other post-hospital costs that insurance typically doesn’t cover. Money from last year’s walkathon helped families in Huntley, Lake in the Hills, Algonquin, Grayslake, Hoffman Estates and Des Plaines, the news release said. The foundation is named for Teagan Haniszewski, an 8-year-old Chesak Elementary second-grader, who has spent the last six years battling pediatric brain cancer that has since gone into remission, according to the school news release. For information about the foundation, visit openingdoorswithteagan. org.

DEKALB COUNTY: PORCINE EPIDEMIC DIARRHEA

KANE COUNTY: EVALUATION OF MECHANICS

Virus killing thousands of pigs

Repairs at judicial center will be costly

By KATIE DAHLSTROM kdahlstrom@shawmedia.com KINGSTON – A deadly pig virus killed 6,500 piglets in a month at Illini Swine in Kingston. At Ed Arndt Jr.’s farm in Malta, the virus claimed 1,000 more. Local swine specialists estimate porcine epidemic diarrhea has killed more than 30,000 pigs in DeKalb County since December, leaving local pork producers scrambling to protect their farms and hoping for a vaccine. “We’ve never seen anything like this,” said Noel Garbes, a swine specialist with Bethany Animal Hospital. “We’ve seen nothing like this that kills this amount of pigs.” The virus, never before seen in the United States, has killed about 7 million pigs in 27 states since May 2013, the U.S. Department of Agriculture estimates. About 30 percent of swine farms in the county are infected, said Noel Garbes, a swine specialist with Bethany Animal Hospital. Piglets that have not been weaned from their mothers are most susceptible to the virus, which kills them from dehydration. It does not affect humans or other animals.

Spreading About 535 Illinois farms have reported being affected by the virus through this month, said Tim Maiers, director of industry and public relations for the Illinois Pork Producers Association. “We’ve seen this disease all over the state,” Maiers said. In DeKalb County, the mortality rate for infected piglets has been about 100 percent in young pigs since the virus first hit, Garbes said. About 30 percent of the swine farms in the county are infected, although he said that number varies from week to week. Farmers struggle to con-

Malta pig farmer Ed Arndt Jr. selects pigs Tuesday from his 6-month-old brood that he will send to the Farmland market in Monmouth later this week. Arndt marks his Farmland pigs by spraying them with a blue food coloring mixture. These pigs were affected by the porcine epidemic diarrhea virus in February but were old enough at the time to survive. trol the virus because little is known about how it spreads and there’s no vaccine. The U.S. Department of Agriculture last week ordered farms to start reporting pig virus infections as part of a new program to help monitor and potentially control the spread of the disease. It also pledged $5 million to fight the virus, adding to the $1.7 million from the National Pork Board to research a vaccine. Illini Farms general manager Mike Woltmann said despite efforts to keep the company’s 4,000-sow Kingston facility clear of the virus, he knew it was a matter of when, not if, it would surface. “It had hit other farms, so we knew it would hit,” Woltmann said. “We lost a month of production when it hit in late February.” Locally, Garbes has been tracking the virus and working with farmers to prevent the disease from spreading. To protect farms that have yet to be infected, farmers spend more time disinfecting

vehicles and trailers that go to and from the farm, in some cases cutting off some traffic to the farm. “It’s definitely an inconvenience for them, but we look at it like if you’re not being inconvenienced, we’re not doing enough,” Garbes said. Arndt said he had to find a grain storage facility off-site so people would not have to travel to his farm. Workers also change clothes, boots and protective gear multiple times and take extra showers to prevent the disease from spreading.

Effects DeKalb County has more than 230,000 pigs, making it the second-highest pork producing county in the state behind Clinton County in southern Illinois. It takes about six months for a pig to reach market weight, meaning Arndt, Woltmann and others won’t have pigs to bring to market around August or September because the virus wiped out that month’s brood of pigs. In turn, the virus is being

blamed for record-high pork and bacon prices. A pound of bacon in the Midwest cost $5.39 in March, a 7.2 percent increase over last year’s price, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Maiers said across the state the hog slaughter was down about 7 percent in March, but pounds are down only 4 percent because farmers have more space and time to feed remaining pigs. Woltmann expects his pigs will be about seven to 10 pounds heavier throughout the year when compared to the same times last year. Maiers warned that the true market effects of the virus won’t be known until later in May, when the piglets that died would have hit the market. He added industry leaders and farmers expect the virus to slow down once the temperature increases because it thrives in cold weather. “We’re just kind of now getting to the point where we’ll see the net impact,” Maiers said.

GENEVA – An evaluation of the Kane County Judicial Center’s mechanical systems found hundreds of issues that could take more than $1 million to fix, the Committee of the Whole learned Tuesday. “It’s going to be extremely expensive,” Kane County Board Chairman Chris Lauzen said. Chief Judge Judith Brawka has advocated for a solution to the judicial center’s too-hot and too-cold temperatures. Rooms can range from the 50s to the 90s, she has said, citing the temperature as the single most consistent complaint she has gotten from the St. Charles Township facility. In January, the County Board authorized a nearly $40,000 contract with Hill Mechanical Services to perform a study that would help diagnose the judicial center’s HVAC problems. The independent third party found 449 issues that, by its estimates, could take an estimated $1.245 million to resolve, said Don Biggs, operations staff executive for the county. But, he said, costs could be lowered to an estimated

$860,000 if the county used a different approach. Staff also is recommending an additional $318,000 of investments, including $10,000 in staff training and $60,000 for a full-time maintenance mechanic qualified in HVAC, he said. The repairs would be completed in phases, Biggs said, suggesting $678,000 in work for 2014. This first phase would address an urgent life-safety issue regarding fire and smoke dampers and would include a fire alarm system replacement, he said. Board member John Hoscheit, R-St. Charles, recommended moving the life-safety issues forward independently of the other suggested projects and accelerating that process. Lauzen said he would move those items to the Executive Committee – which is set to meet May 7 – with the board’s permission. Other problems at the judicial center include the poor water quality in the hot water system, Biggs said. “The water’s filthy,” he said. Biggs noted the $1.245 million estimate doesn’t include other aspects that might need repairs in the 23-yearold building, such as plumbing and electrical systems.

• COMIC BOOKS

Bobby Reckamp, 8, of Crystal Lake creates a three-part comic during a comic book workshop.

Continued from page B1 Elder also discussed on Tuesday how comic books encouraged him to read. “I learned to read from comics, learned to love reading from comics. It opened up all the doorways to all subject areas to me,” Elder said. “Hooked on comics worked for me.” Elder, a 2002 Northwestern University graduate, is a writer for DC Comics and has worked on Batman, Scribblenauts and Iron Man, and Mail Order Ninja, among others. He is the founder of Reading with Pictures, which promotes the use of comic books in schools as part of the Common Core curriculum. Reading with Pictures has created a series of short stories and lesson plans that are aligned with Common Core. The first series is aimed at late elementary school and early middle school students.

Sarah Nader – snader@ shawmedia.com

He hopes to have material for all grade levels in the future. Elder said comics are helpful because they help engage students in a subject matter, especially for kids who won’t read anything else. “The format is less intimidating or more interesting and you can put the same content, same material in two different ways, and they will engage with one of them, and not with the other,” Elder said. “You get them engaged, everything else is ... magnitudes simpler.” Comics also help young-

sters remember material better, he said. “You can convey an enormously complex ideas in powerful ways in comics in ways prose cannot do by itself ... or text and images can’t do alone,” Elder said. “You put them together, you get more.” Comics also help present material in a more efficient time frame than just a block of text, Elder said. “We live in a world where we have to process information faster because there’s more information,” Elder said. “The rate of information growth is accelerating.”

He has since been transported to Rockford Memorial Hospital where he remains in critical condition. The two people injured in the Chevy Tahoe, driver Josue Moctezuma, 27, and Luz Citlali-Ramirez, 27, both

of Crystal Lake, were treated and released from the hospital Monday night. Crystal Lake police spokesman Dan Dziewior said the cause of the accident is still under investigation pending toxicology reports and interviews with several witnesses. Members of the Crystal Lake Police Department, McHenry County Coroner’s Office and the McHenry County State’s Attorney’s Office are investigating. Flight for Life services

were not available because of weather systems in the area, Dziewior said. “Certainly if that was a viable option, it would have been utilized,” he said.

daughter, one of the exhibit’s gems will be the newspaper ink-stained door taken from that office, still covered in clippings about the Cubs and a sticker from Woodstock’s 1963 All-America City Award. “My dad loved newsprint and there’s newsprint all over that door,” Sarah Peasley said. “So it’s going to be authentic. This is not going to be a dry, boring exhibit.” Peasley died on May 3, 2013, at age 90. He’d continued to write and take photos until the day he died, and had been scheduled to sit on a historical society panel two days later. The process of compiling his work had started more than a decade earlier. With the help of several of Peasley’s friends, the historical society and Peasley began looking through old negatives, putting names with faces, Sarah Peasley said. “Before dad died, he was already involved in the cataloging and archiving of his materials,” she said. “That was truly a blessing.” Such efforts ramped up after his death, as Begalka and Don Rose, also of the historical society, searched through shelves and shelves of Peasley’s materials. The result is a collection of more than 11,000 archived photos that tells a unique and wide-ranging McHenry County story, said Kira Halvey, the historical society’s exhibits curator. It’s a collection all its own, but one that has served several other exhibits Halvey has put together. “Pretty much whatever I’m doing, I can think of a Don Peasley photo,” she said.

‘Star Wars: Episode VII’ cast unveiled “Star Wars: Episode VII” finally has its stars. May the Force be with them. After months of carefully guarded secrecy and endless Internet speculation, the cast of the latest incarnation of the space epic was unveiled Tuesday on the official “Star Wars” website by Lucasfilm and the Walt Disney Co. Starring in J.J. Abrams’ new “Star Wars” are: John Boyega, Daisy Ridley, Adam Driver, Oscar Isaac, Max von Sydow, Andy Serkis and Domhnall Gleeson. The companies declined to name the characters each will play, though Driver, the breakout star of HBO’s “Girls,” is widely expected to be playing the film’s feature villain. They join returning “Star Wars” veterans Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher. Peter Mayhew is also back as Chewbacca and Kenny Baker will reprise R2-D2. “It is both thrilling and surreal to watch the beloved original cast and these brilliant new performers come together to bring this world to life, once again,” director and co-writer Abrams said in a statement. “We start shooting in a couple of weeks, and everyone is doing their best to make the fans proud.” Disney will release “Star Wars: Episode VII,” which will be set 30 years after 1983’s “Return of the Jedi,” in December 2015. Disney acquired Lucasfilm in 2012, and immediately put a new “Star Wars” trilogy into development.

Book by father of Serena, Venus Williams out May 6 Serena Williams’ father says he won’t return to Indian Wells, Calif., the site of a tournament his daughter has skipped since 2001, when their family was booed – and subjected to racial epithets, according to his new book. “I would never go back,” Richard Williams said in a telephone interview. But he added that it’s up to Serena whether to play at Indian Wells again. “She was taught to make terrific decisions,” he said. “Any decision she makes, I would be behind, 1,000 percent.” His book, “Black and White: The Way I See It,” comes out May 6. It goes into detail about how Indian Wells, in his words, “disgraced America.” Serena was on the entry list for the event this year but withdrew, citing a back injury. The book covers plenty of other ground, although there is not much that is revelatory about the professional tennis careers of Williams’ daughters Serena and Venus. He said he has another book, focused more on them, in the works. First taught the game by their father, the sisters have won a combined 24 Grand Slam singles titles and have both been ranked No. 1. “From the beginning, I decided that if people came to me later on and told me my daughters were great tennis players, I had failed,” he writes. “Success would be if they came up to me and said my daughters were great people.” Written with Bart Davis, the 292-page “Black and White” reads as part autobiography, part parenting guide (“I feel that we’re way too soft on our children,” Williams says in Chapter 19), part self-help book, part tennis instructional manual. “I released the book because Serena kept telling me to,” Williams said. “She thought it would help a lot of people.”

Stage star Valisia LeKae fights back from cancer Broadway is celebrating the Tony Awards nominations, but it has another reason to cheer: One of its own is cancer-free.

Valisia LeKae, who earned a Tony nomination playing Diana Ross in the hit show “Motown the Musical,” took to Twitter on Tuesday to say that she has beaten ovarian cancer. She had been diagnosed late last year and underwent several rounds of chemotherapy. She confirmed the good news later Tuesday. LeKae was stunned by the diagnosis after undergoing surgery to remove what was believed to be a benign ovarian cyst in November. Ovarian cancer is more common among white, post-menopausal women. LeKae, who is black, was diagnosed at age 34 and says she has no family history of the disease.

Vegas breaks record with 3.7 million visitors in March Las Vegas saw more visitors in March than in any other month in its history, thanks to college basketball tournaments, car races and conventions. The Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority reported Tuesday that 3.7 million people visited the city last month, up 4.3 percent from March 2013. Tourism officials say convention attendance was up 21 percent, mainly because of the large ConExpo-Con/Agg construction convention. The event happens every three years and drew nearly 130,000 people. Room rates shot up for the month of March. The average daily rate hit $134, up 21 percent from the same time a year ago. Gambling revenues in Clark County were up almost 10 percent because of strong revenue from high-limit table games. Las Vegas also attracted gamblers placing bets on March Madness games.

NBA PLAYOFFS: WIZARDS 75, BULLS 69

L.A. CLIPPERS OWNER BANNED FOR LIFE BY NBA

Brighter days ahead for Bulls

Zero sympathy for Sterling

CHICAGO – In an instant, a quiet start by the Bulls was replaced by an ear-splitting ovation Tuesday at the United Center. Naturally, I was looking down at my computer screen when the ovation rocked the building. I always miss the good stuff. Why the roar? Had Joakim Noah drained a sideways-spinning jump shot from half court? Had Taj Gibson shattered the backboard on a dunk? Had Carlos Boozer played defense? No, no and no.

NBA commissioner Adam Silver, gigantic ears and all, stood in front of TV cameras Tuesday and gave Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling the business. That is, he hammered the old man for his taped, racist blather, stating that Sterling Donald Sterling was banned from the NBA for life, would be fined $2.5 million and would be forced to sell his team. All this because Sterling got upset over his girlfriend’s

BASEBALL: CARY-GROVE 5, MCHENRY 4

one, including Trojans coach Ray Krystal. “The referee and I agreed to disagree,” Krystal said. Alex Siavelis put the penalty kick into the bottom left corner past C-G goalkeeper Morgan Olsen with 32 minutes remaining in the match. Marshall had a chance just before the penalty kick as well, when she led a 3-on-1 break, but was denied by Olsen

CARY – Cary-Grove squandered some opportunities, but compensated against one of the area’s hottest teams with something that recently had been missing – timely hits. The Trojans had one runner picked off first base, another caught at home on a double steal and another thrown out at second on a missed hitand-run play. Still, they persevered against McHenry by scoring four of their runs with two outs. That clutch hitting resulted in a 5-4 victory in the teams’ Fox Valley Conference Valley Division baseball game Tuesday. “Our offense has been kind of down lately and it was nice to see us come out swinging, especially against a team like McHenry, who’s at the top of the [Valley Division],” Trojans starter Andrew Splitt said. “It’s a good win for us and a great momentum booster as we head into more conference games.” C-G (12-8 overall, 7-3 FVC Valley) got a two-out RBI single from Splitt in the first and a two-out, two-RBI double from Jason Barrett in the second. The Trojans also scored their final run with two outs on a wild pitch. “We’ve always been taught when there are guys on base to attack early in the count and I got a good pitch,” said Barrett, a left-handed batter who ripped his double down the leftfield line. “We were mentally tough. These guys are pretty hot; it’s a good win.” McHenry (14-4, 7-2) was 6-1 in onerun games before Tuesday, but every time the Warriors scored to lead or tie, C-G answered to grab the lead right back. “We didn’t have two-out RBIs and what’d they have, four?” McHenry coach Brian Rockweiler asked. “They answered back, then we answered back and it seemed like every time we’d get two outs [on defense], we couldn’t get that third out.” McHenry, which had won six of its past seven games, almost had a two-out run in the fourth, but right fielder Jimmy Perkins charged hard and threw out Mike Aiardo, who was trying to score from second on Cody Freund’s single. “We stayed tough through our bad luck and our own mistakes,” C-G coach Don Sutherland said. “It’s a good sign to win in those situations. You usually don’t (win). We hung in there and came up with some clutch hits with two outs. Splitter did a fantastic job getting us through six and we made the decision that Larkin (Hanselmann) was going to face the top of their order in the seventh.”

Gators get revenge CL South avenges playoff loss to Trojans in regional play last season By CHRIS CASEY ccasey@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – The last time the Crystal Lake South girls soccer team met Cary-Grove, the Gators were eliminated in a regional matchup, leaving a bitter taste in their mouths in the offseason. “We wanted revenge,” senior Audrey Collard said. “This was kind of a personal game for us, and we had a lot of fuel to our fire to help us through this one.”

The MAC’s Western Michigan is the most recent school to offer Bahl a scholarship. Bahl tweeted the news Tuesday, giving him six current offers, five from MAC schools. Previously, Bahl received offers from Buffalo, Miami (Ohio), Ohio and Toledo, which are all in the MAC. South Dakota is the lone non-MAC school on Bahl’scurrent list. Bahl, a 6-foot-4, 210-pound junior has been throwing with his high school teammates before school. Recently, several college coaches have come to Marian to watch those workouts. Bahl led the area last season with 2,510 passing yards for 29 touchdowns and 12 interceptions.

Chicago Marathon winner gets doping ban MOSCOW – Three-time Chicago Marathon champion Lilya Shobukhova has been banned for two years for blood doping and faces demands to repay millions of dollars in winnings. The Russian athletics federation said Tuesday it banned Shobukhova until January for abnormal biological passport values and stripped her results from Oct. 9, 2009. Shobukhova won three times in Chicago and once in London in that time, also collecting $1 million in prize money as a two-time leader of the World Marathon Majors rankings.

2016 RIO DE JANEIRO SUMMER OLYMPICS

IOC VP: Rio preps are ‘worst’ ever By JOHN PYE The Associated Press In an unusually blunt public warning, a vice president of the International Olympic Committee on Tuesday called the delayed preparations for the 2016 Games in Rio de Janeiro “the worst I have experienced.” John Coates, who has made six trips to Brazil as part of the IOC’s coordination commission for Rio, John Coates said the Brazilians are behind “in many, many ways” and are in worse shape than Greek organizers were in preparing for the 2004 Olympics. Despite the critical delays, the Australian said there is no backup plan and the games will take place in Rio. Coates noted that the IOC had taken the unprecedented step of embedding experts in the host city to help the local organizing committee deliver the games. “The IOC has formed a special task force to try [to] speed up preparations, but the situation is critical on the ground,” Coates told an Olympic forum in Sydney, outlining that construction delays are just part of the problem. “The IOC has adopted a more hands-on role. It is unprecedented for the IOC, but there is no plan B. We are going to Rio.” Brazil also has come under fire from football’s world governing body, FIFA, for long delays in construction of stadiums and other infrastructure and the overdue delivery of venues for the World Cup, which kicks off in June. Two years out from the 2016 Olympics, the situation on the construction front is just as bleak. “We have become very concerned. They are not ready in

many, many ways,” Coates said. “And this is against a city that’s got social issues that also have to be addressed; a country that’s also trying to deal with the FIFA World Cup coming up in a few months.” The IOC released a statement trying to defuse the tension after Coates’ comments. It mentioned working “with our partners” in Rio on measures to “support the games,” including establishing joint task forces, a local construction manager and a high-level decision-making body “bringing together” the IOC, the government and all key partners of the project. The IOC said there would be more “regular visits” to Rio by executive director Gilbert Felli, the senior troubleshooter sent to the city last week as part of a series of actions to tackle the delays. Coates said dealing with three levels of government in Brazil made it harder for local organizers than it was for the heavily criticized organizers of the Athens Games, which also were plagued by construction delays and earned a “yellow light” warning from thenIOC President Juan Antonio Samaranch. “I think this is a worse situation than Athens,” Coates said. “In Athens, we were dealing with one government and some city responsibilities. Here, there’s three. “There is bureaucracy, there is little coordination between the federal, the state government and the city – which is responsible for a lot of the construction. The flow of funds from the federal government is not happening quickly enough. We think we need to help facilitate that.” Coates, chairman of the IOC coordination commission for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, said he thinks the IOC has put the message across in Brazil.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL PLAYOFF

Committee will not dictate number of conference games By RALPH D. RUSSO The Associated Press IRVING, Texas – The College Football Playoff selection committee does not want to dictate how many conference games leagues play. Playoff executive director Bill Hancock and the FBS conference commissioners are meeting this week at the Four Seasons Hotel outside of Dallas to work out remaining details of the four-team playoff that will replace the Bowl Championship Series this season. The first championship game in the new postseason format will be played at AT&T Stadium in Arlington. The Southeastern Conference recently announced it

will stay with an eight-game league schedule instead of going to nine games. The Pac-12 and Big 12 play nine games and the Big Ten is moving to a nine-game conference slate. The Atlantic Coast Conference plays eight league games, plus five of its teams will play Notre Dame each season. “The (selection) committee will not be in the business of dictating to conferences their scheduling,” Hancock said. Hancock said the “totality” of a team’s schedule will be evaluated by the selection committee for its difficulty. “Every game that everybody plays will be taking into consideration,” Hancock said. “To the committee, it won’t matter whether you played an eight- or nine-game conference

schedule. But it will matter who you played for your 12 or 13 games. And, of course, how you did against them.” Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby said he has been talking to athletic directors and coaches in his conference about how best to schedule if the school has playoff aspirations – and knows similar conversations are going on in the other leagues. “We don’t have to play a murderer’s row (out of conference),” Bowlsby said. “You don’t have to play three top20 teams. But you also, if you want to be able to have the tiebreaker between being fifth and being fourth in the playoff selection, you want to have played a representative nonconference schedule.”

ROUNDUP

Athlete of the Week HALEY WIDMAYER Hampshire, jr., P Widmayer was nearly unhittable on the mound in Fox Valley Conference Fox Division play last week to help lead Hampshire to two important division wins. The junior pitcher threw a complete game and struck out nine while allowing no earned runs in a win Wednesday against Grayslake North. The next day against Grayslake Central, Widmayer struck out 10 batters and allowed no earned runs in seven innings. She also added two hits at the plate for the Whip-Purs, who moved into sole possession of first place in the FVC Fox by giving the Rams their first division loss.

Noteworthy Woodstock North growing: This season has featured plenty of growing pains for Woodstock North and first-year coach Pete Riis. The Thunder have endured a slow start, which hasn’t been helped by eight games that have been either postponed or canceled because of the weather. Still, the Thunder have been finding positives despite a 1-12 start as they work to rebuild and come together after losing 10 players to graduation, including six starters. “They’re staying positive,” Riis said. “That’s the main thing. Now we know what we need to do to correct. We always look at what we do right in the game. That’s how you approach this.” Riis said he planned to have a team meeting before Tuesday night’s practice to go over what went right and wrong in Woodstock North’s rain-shortened 8-3 loss Monday to Johnsburg. Riis cited a 6-1 loss to McHenry and 3-1 loss to Harvard earlier this month as evidence that the Thunder are capable of playing with good teams when they play consistent and limit the mistakes.

“We’ve had spurts where we’ve played well and hung with teams,” Riis said. “Errors and losing focus have been some of the problems.” Marian coming together: Marian Central’s second-place finish in the Woodstock Tournament over the weekend might have surprised some teams. With the Hurricanes’ only loss coming against undefeated Conant, the young team hasn’t been showing its youth lately. Marian owns a 6-2 record in the Suburban Christian Conference Blue Division. Hurricanes coach Erin Widmayer said her team jokes that they’re the dark horse, like the song by Katy Perry. “As a coach, you always have high expectations for your team, and it’s nice that they’re starting to achieve those expectations,” Widmayer said. “We’re just chugging along, and I’m trying to get as many freshmen in as I can and get them time.”

Hot walker Francisco Ugarte holds Kentucky Derby hopeful Wicked Strong after a morning workout Monday at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Ky. “He ran terrific,” Jerkens said of the colt’s 3½-length win. “He laid up closer to the pace without any effort, which I thought was great. The pace was really lively and he was sitting up five or six (lengths) off the lead without any effort. He certainly finished up good.” The victory in the Wood was only Wicked Strong’s second in six career races. He will be the first Derby starter for both Centennial Farms, which won the 1993 Belmont Stakes with Colonial Affair, and Jerkens, a 55-year-old son of Hall of Fame trainer Allen Jerkins. “It’s nerve-wracking, especially when you’re here with only one horse,” the younger Jerkens said. “You’re looking at him so much, you almost start creating problems.” Jerkens has 23 horses in his New York-based stable. He’s tied for 16th in the New York Racing Association trainer’s standings, winning at a 25 percent clip. His 85-year-old father tried three times to win the Derby, his best finish being sixth place in 1978 with Sensitive Prince. He sent his son off to Louisville with the advice to

treat the Derby like any other race. “A lot of people fall into that trap of second-guessing themselves,” the younger Jerkens said. “You can’t let anybody or anything sway your judgment. Don’t train him any different just because somebody will come up to you and say, ‘So and so went out there and did this with his horse.’ I’m confident in how we’ve handled him so far.” Jerkens thought he had a shot at winning the Derby in 2009 with Quality Road, calling him “the most talented horse I ever put my hands on.” Quality Road won the Florida Derby, but injured his right back foot that day. Later, he hurt his right front foot and missed the Triple Crown series. Less than two months later, the late owner-breeder Edward Evans fired Jerkens and sent Quality Road to trainer Todd Pletcher. Now Jerkens is at Churchill Downs with a chance to win, for himself, his father and the city of Boston. His father is nicknamed “The Giant Killer” for his record of big upsets, and Jerkens would like nothing more than to add to the family history.

The Associated Press LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Wicked Strong has a built-in fan base for the Kentucky Derby. Like the entire city of Boston. The colt named in honor of the victims of last year’s Boston Marathon bombings figures to be among the favorites for Saturday’s race. He’s got the credentials, having impressively won the Wood Memorial at 9-1 odds. Wicked Strong is owned by a Boston-based partnership that has pledged to donate 5 percent of any money won by the bay colt during the Triple Crown series to the fund set up for the bombing victims. “It’s a neat thing,” trainer Jimmy Jerkens said. “Might be an extra force that will help us, if you believe in that kind of stuff.” Does Jerkens? “Sometimes you do,” he replied. “Things seem to happen like that for some unexplained reason.” Wicked Strong began racing with the name Moyne Spun. Donald Little Jr., who heads the Centennial Farms partnership, didn’t like that moniker and decided to rename the horse with the marathon bombings in mind. His first thought was Boston Strong, but the name already was taken. So the new name became Wicked Strong – giving it a linguistic Boston twist. It seems to fit the once-headstrong colt, which got away from his handlers a couple times early in his career. That’s why Jerkens keeps a pony waiting to escort Wicked Strong back to the barn after a trip to the track. The colt ranked fourth on the points leaderboard that determines the maximum 20-horse field for the 1¼-mile Derby. The victory in the Wood – his first in a stakes race – and the 100 points that went to the winner put him in the Derby picture.

STANLEY CUP PLAYOFFS: BLACKHAWKS

Hawks resting, waiting for next foe Coach Q: Rest more important than work now By MARK LAZERUS mlazerus@suntimes.com There’s nothing quite like a Game 7 – the intensity, the pressure, the excitement, the drama. But there is something even better: Not having to play a Game 7. While the Colorado Avalanche and Minnesota Wild fight to the finish Wednesday night in Denver, the Blackhawks – who await the winner – will be watching from the comfort of their own homes, coming off two days away from the rink and a welcome-back practice earlier in the day. Those two days off couldn’t have come at a better time, given the physically and mentally draining nature of the Hawks’ six-game first-round victory over the St. Louis Blues. “It’s really good to get some rest,” goaltender Corey Crawford said. “It’s always nice to get a little in the playoffs. But I’m sure we’re going to be eager to start the next one.” Of course, none of the Hawks would bite when asked which team he’d rather see in the Central Division final. In their eyes, it’s not about who the opponent is, but how the

Hawks themselves play that will determine the winner. That said, deep down, the Hawks probably wouldn’t mind seeing the Wild prevail. Not that Minnesota is a pushover. The Wild have been impressive in pushing the division-champion Avalanche to a Game 7, boast the best possession numbers of any team in the playoffs, and are a deeper team than the one the Hawks beat in five games in last spring’s first round.

Zach Parise is tied with Colorado rookie sensation Nathan MacKinnon for the league lead in playoff points with 10 (three goals, seven assists, including four points in Game 6). But a Minnesota win means home-ice advantage for the Hawks instead of opening in Denver. It means facing third-string goalie Darcy Kuemper instead of Hart Trophy candidate Semyon Varlamov, who has beaten the Hawks four times in five tries against

the Hawks this season – three of them outright thefts. And it means avoiding the young and skilled Avalanche, one of the few teams in the league fast enough to skate with the Hawks and beat them at their own game. The only concern is, will the time off negate the good vibes the Hawks built in winning four straight against the Blues? “It’s always nice to get some rest, just be smart and know

Detroit Tigers catcher Bryan Holaday lays down a bunt for a run-scoring single in the ninth inning against the White Sox at U.S. Cellular Field. The Sox lost, 4-3. around and made an off-balance throw to first but Holaday beat it. “Textbook – I mean it was good, it was a perfect bunt,” Sox manager Robin Ventura said. “Just a smart play [under] wet conditions, it would have been tough to get him on a night that was dry, let alone the way it was.” The Sox (14-14), who finish a two-game series against the Tigers Max Scherzer on

Wednesday afternoon, scored three in the third against Justin Verlander on Adam Eaton’s RBI double to left that scored Marcus Semien, Gordon Beckham’s RBI single to right and Adam Dunn’s RBI double into the right-field corner. Jose Quintana (4.00 ERA) struck out 10, one shy of his career high, and walked nobody over six innings. He gave up two runs in the sixth

after retiring the first two batters as Miguel Cabrera, Victor Martinez, Torii Hunter and Austin Jackson all singled in succession, the latter two driving in the tying runs. “He was doing pretty good, but you run into that part of the lineup, if you’re not perfect, that can happen,” Ventura said. Martinez doubled in the Tigers’ first run in the fourth. The Sox had good chances to regain the lead when Alejandro De Aza tripled off Verlander with one out in the seventh and Jose Abreu doubled with one out in the eighth. But Verlander stranded De Aza by striking out Semien and Eaton – who in frustration broke his bat over his knee – and Joba Chamberlain struck out Dayan Viciedo after falling behind 3-0 in the count and got Alexei Ramirez on a grounder to second to leave Abreu at second. “That’s what great pitchers do,” Eaton said. “They bear down when they need to do it and he made the pitches that were necessary and heck, that’s why he’s such a great pitcher. He gets out of jams like that. Give him some credit there.” Verlander (2.48 ERA) went seven innings, allowing three runs on six hits and three walks. He struck out four.

Samardzija winless in 6 starts BY GORDON WITTENMYER

gwittenmyer@suntimes.com CINCINNATI – Not even the rain could save Jeff Samardzija on Tuesday. The toughest-luck pitcher in the Cubs’ rotation through the first month of the season, Samardzija got tagged with another loss despite battling through a rough night – this time 3-2 when three rain delays failed to wipe out the game. Not to mention a lineup that had even less impact on the game than the rain. Samardzija remains winless six starts into the season despite a 1.98 ERA. Even as he fought through command and umpire issues, Samardzija took a 2-1 lead into the second rain delay of the night, at the end of the fourth inning.

Flyers send series to Game 7 By DAN GELSTON The Associated Press PHILADELPHIA – Wayne Simmonds scored three goals and Steve Mason stopped 34 shots to lead the Philadelphia Flyers to a 5-2 win over the New York Rangers on Tuesday night, forcing a Game 7 of their Eastern Conference playoff series. There’s little time for rest, too. The Flyers and Rangers play again Wednesday night at Madison Square Garden. Simmonds scored in the first period and twice more in the second for his first career postseason hat trick. Mason survived a busy first period and stopping 31 straight shots until Carl Hagelin scored late in the third. Mats Zuccarello also scored for New York in the final minute. By the third, Simmonds had already helped stake the Flyers to a 4-0 lead and the outcome was a mere formality. Erik Gustafsson also scored and Claude Giroux had an empty-netter for the Flyers, who will try for a second win in New York this series. Simmonds, a 28-goal scorer who had one in the first five games, completed the hat trick with 4:41 left in the second. With a short turnaround, Rangers goaltender Henrik Lundqvist was yanked for Cam Talbot to open the third period.

Blackhawks forward Patrick Sharp celebrates with Patrick Kane after scoring a goal during the third period in Game 6 of a first-round playoff series against St. Louis Blues in Sunday at the United Center. The Hawks are waiting to find out who they will play in the Western Conference semifinals – Minnesota or Colorado.

that every series is different,” defenseman Duncan Keith said. “We certainly feel confident right now, but no matter what happens, if we get a few days off here, we’re going to have to use it to our advantage and be ready to play as soon as the puck drops next time.” Wednesday’s practice will be the first the Hawks have held since the playoffs began. That’s the biggest thing Joel Quenneville said he has learned over the past couple of seasons – that rest is more important than work this time of year, and that any teaching can be done during morning skates on game days. But the second round is likely to begin Friday or Saturday, possibly even Sunday. Not even Quenneville can keep his players off the ice for that long. “This group here, they’d rather just play,” Quenneville said. “But we’ll need a couple practices there to keep that pace going. But after [that] series, nothing wrong with taking a few days off to enjoy it. At the same time, let’s be excited about where we’re at.” And wherever they’re going. Note: Hawks captain Jonathan Toews was named a finalist for the Mark Messier Leadership Award for the second straight year. The announcement came Tuesday, Toews’ 26th birthday. The other finalists are Los Angeles’ Dustin Brown and Anaheim’s Ryan Getzlaf.

STANLEY CUP PLAYOFFS: FLYERS 5, RANGERS 2

at Cincinnati, 6:10 p.m. Wednesday, CSN, AM-720 But when play resumed after a 15-minute delay for that storm, he returned to the mound and allowed Billy Hamilton’s first career home run leading off the fifth to tie the game. Jeff Samardzija After getting the first two batters of the sixth, he allowed a base hit that right-fielder Ryan Kalish turned into a triple with a poor route that allowed the ball to scoot past him. Pinch-hitter Chris Heisey

followed with a single for the lead as the next storm hit. And when Hamilton followed with his second infield single of the game, manager Rick Renteria called to the bullpen, and umpires called for the tarp. After a 1-hour, 11-minute, delay for the last one, the game resumed while it was still raining, and the Cubs managed only three singles and a walk the rest of the way. Samardzija (0-3) already had been shut out twice and had leads blown by the bullpen in two other starts. According to Elias Sports Bureau, Samardzija is the first major league pitcher in at least 100 years to start the season with five consecutive games in which he pitched at least seven innings, allowed two runs or fewer and failed

to record a win. Overall, he’s gone 12 consecutive starts without a victory, dating to last season. His last win came Aug. 24 in San Diego. He has a 3.79 ERA during the winless streak. Notes: Jake Arrieta (shoulder), who had his anticipated season debut this week pushed back because of Monday’s rainout, will start Saturday against the St. Louis Cardinals, Renteria said. ... Renteria was ejected during the first at-bat after play resumed in the sixth for arguing plate umpire Alan Porter’s strike zone. In a season when ejections are down across baseball, it’s already the second for the first-year manager. ... The game was delayed 19 minutes before it started, for a total of 1:45 in delays.

WIZARDS 75, BULLS 69

Bulls’ ‘journey’ ends in Game 5 By JOE COWLEY jcowley@suntimes.com CHICAGO – Joakim Noah often talked about “the journey” he and his teammates went on this season. On Tuesday, it was time for that journey to end. Maybe like it was supposed to all along, especially after Derrick Rose was lost for the season after only 10 games, and Luol Deng was traded in January. The little engine that could just couldn’t anymore, evident by the Washington Wizards winning, 75-69, and closing the Bulls out 4-1 in the best-of-seven series. Noah looked hobbled throughout most of the game, Mike Dunleavy was obviously slowed by the thumb injury, and when Taj Gibson went down with an ankle injury midway through the fourth quarter, there was just no more to give. “I think our team has been through a lot,” coach Tom Thibodeau said. “It’s two years of going against the odds. We’ve got a bunch of fighters, we’ve been down before, and we’ve climbed out of holes before.” Some holes are just too deep. Not that Thibodeau wasn’t searching. That was clear in the third when the coach finally went away from his usual rotation, putting Gibson in for Carlos Boozer with 3:53 left in the quarter and the Bulls down eight. It didn’t have the affect Thibodeau was hoping for, however, as a Bradley Beal jumper and John Wall free throw gave the Wizards the nine-point lead going into the final 12 minutes of the game. But this Bulls team has been made a season out of defying the odds, so of course there was a final flurry. Jimmy Butler opened the fourth with a layup, and after a Gibson layup and foul, the lead was just four. Then the Bulls’ night went from bad to worse, as Gibson landed on Wall’s foot on a rebound and twisted his left ankle. He was helped off the court and into the locker room, which meant back to Boozer with 7:50 left. Not all bad, considering the Bulls were still fighting. When Butler hit a 3 from the corner with 4:09 left, the Washington lead was just five. Boozer cut it to three with a jumper, but Wall answered at the 2:30 mark. A Nene foul put D.J. Augustin at the line, as the point guard again kept the deficit to three. Three consecutive offensive rebounds by the Wizards kept the Bulls on their heels, but a turnover with 59.8 seconds left gave the home team life. Boozer missed the layup, however, but Washington couldn’t take advantage of it, getting the shot-clock violation and giving the Bulls the ball with 22.4 seconds left. Butler, however, missed the layup, and just like that the Bulls season was over.

Grizzlies 100, Thunder 99 (OT): At Oklahoma City, Mike Miller scored 21 points and Memphis held off Oklahoma City in a record fourth straight overtime game to take a 3-2 lead in the first-round series. Oklahoma City rebounded a missed 3-point attempt by Miller and called a timeout, trailing 100-99 with 2.9 seconds remaining. Kevin Durant of the Thunder missed a long 3-point attempt and teammate Serge Ibaka tipped the ball in on the rebound. The shot was reviewed and it was determined that it was released after the buzzer, ending the game. Zach Randolph added 20 points and 10 rebounds for the Grizzlies, who will host Game 6 on Thursday. Russell Westbrook had 30 points, 13 assists and 10 rebounds for the Thunder.

Two 1st-round picks and Rose’s return reasons for optimism • MUSICK Continued from page C1 Maybe next year, the biggest cheer at a Bulls playoff game actually will go to a Bulls player. An exciting regular season gave way to an exasperating playoff series for the Bulls, whose season ended with a 75-69 loss to the Washington Wizards in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference quarterfinals. The offensively challenged Bulls missed 50 of 75 shots from the field, and disappointed fans filed for the exits rather than stay for the final buzzer. This was not the ending that anyone had in mind when the playoffs started 10 days ago.

Bulls guard Kirk Hinrich looked despondent as he spoke about his team and his season. Hinrich praised his teammates for fighting hard during a 48-win season in the face of injuries and adversity, but he said an early playoff exit spoiled much of that hard work. “It’s just bittersweet right now,” said Hinrich, who shook hands with clubhouse workers on his way out of the locker room. “Because we didn’t get the job done.” Hard work remains, but brighter days are ahead for the Bulls. The Miami Heat can’t own the Eastern Conference forever, and the Bulls are in excellent position this summer to step forward as the main challenger to LeBron James and his aging teammates.

Expect the Bulls’ front office to make a serious run at free-agent Carmelo Anthony, an elite scorer who would fill the team’s biggest need. The New York Knicks will be able to offer Anthony more money, but the Bulls could offer him a chance to chase after a championship. Other upgrades also could be on the horizon. The Bulls hold the rights to top prospect Nikola Mirotic, a sharpshooting power forward who has shined for Spain’s Real Madrid. The Bulls also own two first-round picks in one of the deepest NBA drafts in recent memory. Most importantly, the Bulls will get Derrick Rose back next season. What that means, exactly, remains unclear. After two major knee injuries, it’s fair to specu-

late that Rose never will be the same player that he was during his MVP season of 2010-11. On the other hand, Rose is only 25 years old, and medicine is better than ever. And Rose at 80 percent or 90 percent of his previous form is better than most players in the league. Boozer likely will be gone via the league’s amnesty clause, which will free up money for the Bulls to spend elsewhere. Less clear is whether other complementary players such as waiver-wire pickup D.J. Augustin will return next season to bolster the Bulls’ depth. “I definitely love it here,” Augustin said before exiting the building for the final time this season. “I definitely would love to be back. But

right now, I’m trying to get over this game.” It wasn’t easy. Bulls guard Mike Dunleavy wore ice bags around both of his knees after the game, and his bare feet were planted in a bucket of ice water. He looked and sounded drained. “It just wasn’t enough,” said Dunleavy, who didn’t miss a game all season. “It was a very rewarding season, but a disappointing ending.” Would change be in store? “There always is,” Dunleavy said. It’s for the better.

Why Sterling was recorded is curious, but it doesn’t recuse him • TELANDER Continued from page C1 If you listen to the tape, it appears at certain points that Stiviano urges Sterling onward. He said he wants to stop, that he’s too upset to continue, and she goads him on. Did she do this for blackmail purposes? Vengeance? Samaritanism? Fame? Background material? It’s curious. Sterling is what he always had been, a narrow-minded, bigoted buffoon, just older. He’s 80 now, rich as sin, and having a bimbo like Stiviano around is something that Hollywood tycoons obviously think is cool. I’ll refer you to Sterling’s late, party-animal friend Jerry Buss. But Sterling still is married, and there is some kind of

weird lawsuit against Stiviano by Sterling’s wife, Rochelle, for $1.8 million, a suit that claims, the mistress “engages in conduct designed to target, befriend, seduce, and then entice, cajole, borrow from, cheat, and … receive gifts” from wealthy, naïve, old men. Including the Donald. It’s creepy and cheesy and devious, all of it. Pitiful, too. Some cynics have suggested this is a way for Magic Johnson – the main afflicted character and most vocal respondent – to one day get ownership of the Clippers. He wants a ball club, remember. Los Angeles is his base. The Clippers even share the Staples Center with his beloved Lakers. Would you put anything past a league that has allowed a bigoted, litigious, philandering fool to own a team for 33 years?

There can be no sympathy for this man. He should take his $1.9 billion net worth and slink off into the glitter of Viagra and Vine. There are swells in Beverly Hills who probably share his views about black people and certainly will attend his parties – as long as he pays. Wealth can buy you a lot of things. But it can’t buy a good name. It can’t buy decency. If Silver hadn’t laid the extreme discipline on Sterling that he did, he might have had an insurrection from NBA players past and present. Boycotts, protests, strikes, disruption of these playoffs – all were on the docket if Sterling went unpunished. Advertisers already had started fleeing the Clippers. NBA fans would be next.

In a pro sport where three of every four players are black, Sterling was a reminder of the times he must have found comfortable and gracious. That would be the 1940s, ’50s and ’60s – before civil rights laws took real effect. This kind of disgrace happens to old boys from time to time. They finally get nailed by technology, since their real-life deeds always get smoothed over and paid up. And perhaps their brains have lost the decency filters they once had. I do worry about the side parts of this racial incident. Much of the discussion occurred Monday, which was Holocaust Remembrance Day. Six million Jews killed by the Nazi regime in World War II. Never forget. Never again. Sterling (real last name: Tokowitz) is a Jew.

Shouldn’t he identify better than anyone with oppressed minorities? Being taped or photographed or recorded or sneak-shotted in what we think are private moments is an invasion we will have to live with. Cameras are everywhere. So are listening devices and satellites. Google is in the process of video-processing every square inch of the outdoor world. Be careful what you say. Be careful what you think. It’s just so weird – after all these years of bad actions, Donald Sterling is being punished for something he said. It’s complex, this mess. Yet at it’s core, it’s pretty simple. Adios, clown.

RENEWAL Cult brands showing proof of the spirit’s renaissance By MICHELLE LOCKE The Associated Press

oping to get your hands on a bottle of Pappy Van Winkle 23-year-old bourbon? Hope on. The wildly popular ultra-premium bourbon is legendarily difficult to find and when it is spotted – there’s even a Pappy Tracker app for that – it’s quickly sold out. And Pappy isn’t the only super-sought-after spirit. Other elusive bourbon brands include the 17-yearold iteration of Eagle Rare, William Larue Weller, Stagg Jr. and Angel’s Envy Cask Strength, all part of a bourbon renaissance that has seen a new appreciation of American whiskey, as well as the birth of a whole new class of cult spirits. “It seems like that quality and variety and hand-crafted story is finally starting to be appreciated,” says Kris

Comstock, bourbon marketing director for the Buffalo Trace Distillery, which sells the Stagg and Weller brands. Buffalo Trace also produces Pappy Van Winkle in association with the Van Winkle family. Jess Novak, Drink Editor at food and drink website The Daily Meal, credits the rise of cult bourbons to the overall trend of eating and drinking better, along with the nostalgia-driven interest in creating hand-crafted products. “Bourbon really feels like it hails from our grandfather’s or great-grandfather’s era. It’s something you have to learn how to drink and it’s deeply American,” she says. “It’s the kind of thing you drink when you’re making your own footstool. So, there’s these small-batch, cult bourbons. They’re crafted, they have this focus and warmth that comes through in the taste.”

And producers are looking for new ways to impart that hand-crafted flourish. Hard-to-find Jefferson’s Ocean, for instance, was aged in barrels at sea. “The bourbon takes on many interesting flavors on its voyage that it could never pick up by maturing the way other premium bourbons do,” says Jefferson’s founder Trey Zoeller. Bourbon as a whole has become a big player on the liquor scene in recent years, but part of the special appeal of cult bourbons – on top of their craft quality, of course – is their exclusivity. Cult bourbons aren’t made in huge quantities, so some of the pleasure is in the hunt. Not surprisingly, that hunt comes at a cost; these bourbons often run two, three or many times more the price of more common bottles.

Feed a crowd with a bourbon-glazed salmon By ELIZABETH KARMEL The Associated Press With grilling season upon us, we’ll all be looking for new and delicious ways to feed a crowd. So I want to share one of my favorites – a center-cut salmon fillet. All salmon grills up wonderfully, but center-cut fillets are particularly great when feeding larger groups. Because these fillets tend to have a uniform thickness, they cook up evenly (and are harder to overcook). And that means all your guests can eat at the same time. And by all, I mean a lot. Larger fillets can feed upward of 10 people. They also happen to look pretty impressive on a platter. When buying salmon fillets, I opt for skin-on. The skin adds flavor and protects the delicate fish during grilling. The skin also gives you a nifty way to remove the fish from the grill with no fear of sticking. Start by having your fishmonger cut the skin from the fillet, then place the fillet back on the skin before wrapping it. When ready to cook, you simply set the skin on the grill, then place

the salmon on top of it. The salmon even could be cut into individual portions before being placed on the skin. Then just cook as directed and remove from the grill (lifting it off the skin) using a spatula. I prefer wild salmon to farmraised, but there are some good sustainable farm-raised options, too. The trick is to smell the fish. If it smells briny and clean, it is fresh. If it has any “fishy” or ammonia smell, do not buy it. I once bought a piece of fish that had a slight odor when raw and as I cooked it, it turned my whole backyard into a stink bomb! The moral of the story is that you should not cook fish that is past its prime. Once you have your piece of fish, remove it from the paper and slowly and gently run your fingers up and down the flesh to feel for any small bones that have been left in it. You can remove these with fish pliers, cooking tweezers or standard drugstore tweezers. I do this a couple of times because these small bones have a tendency to hide in the dense flesh. Because salmon is a more “meaty” fish, it can stand up to a world of flavors. My favorite glaze

involves my favorite spirit! I’m a firm believer that bourbon makes everything taste better. That definitely is the case with my simple maple-bourbon glaze used in this recipe. It has only three main ingredients, so each of those ingredients must be of the best quality. The star is the bourbon, sweetened by real maple syrup and fresh orange juice, all balanced by a pinch of salt. This simple glaze brightens up the salmon, adds a complexity that makes you want a second helping, and elevates your backyard grilling to three-star status!

Maple-Bourbon Glazed Salmon Fillet Want to feed more people? Buy a larger fillet. A 4-pound fillet will take roughly 30 minutes on the grill, and will feed eight people. Start to finish: 30 minutes Servings: 4 2-pound center-cut salmon fillet (about 1 inch thick), skin separated, then replaced (see above) Olive oil

Salt and ground white or black pepper 1/4 cup maple syrup Juice and zest of 1/2 small orange 2 tablespoons bourbon Heat the grill to medium and prepare it for indirect cooking. On a charcoal grill, this entails banking the coals to one side and cooking on the cooler side. On a gas grill, then means turning off one side (or the center burner) and cooking over the cooler section. Check for and remove any small bones in the salmon. Brush the salmon on all sides with olive oil, then season with salt and pepper. Lay the fish, skin-side down, directly on the cooking grate on the cooler side of the grill. Cook the salmon until opaque, but still moist, 20 to 25 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fish. Meanwhile, in a small bowl whisk together the maple syrup, orange zest and juice, the bourbon and a pinch of salt. Brush the glaze over the salmon during the final 10 minutes. Do not turn the salmon during cooking.

To transfer the fish to a serving platter, slide a wide spatula between the flesh and the skin. Lift the salmon off the grill, leaving the skin behind. Cover the salmon with foil to keep warm. Slide the skin over to the hot side of the grill, then close the lid. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the skin is crisp and the salmon oils are bubbling. Remove the skin from the grill and serve on the side as you would a chip.

A bourbon cocktail for any season ... or homework By J.M. HIRSCH AP Food Editor My son’s fourth grade math homework has taught me an incredibly valuable lesson. About bourbon. Inappropriate association, you say? Perhaps. But if a bit of bourbon is what it takes for me to safely usher my offspring through the woes of improper fractions, division patterns, quadrants and perimeter calculations, then I say pour me another round, and make it snappy. Prior to the intrusion of fourth grade math into my life, I had rather set notions about cocktails and the liquors from which they are born. I considered them mostly seasonal items. Gin and tonics are suitable for spring, pisco sours and margaritas love summer, cranberry juice and vodka were made for fall, and mulled wine outside of winter was simply wrong. Actually, I still believe in

that. But as my son’s math homework has carried through the seasons – the warm days of early September, the chill of November, the frost of February, and now the thaw of spring – I’ve learned that there is no season – and no volume of homework – for which bourbon isn’t appropriate. Of course, for a cocktail to be homework-friendly, it also must be simple. Clearly – and sadly – our focus must be on the math, not mixology. So in addition to being seasonal, my cocktails are blissfully simple to concoct.

Old Fashioned (Spring) My version of the classic old fashioned is more citrusy than sweet. Traditional recipes often include a maraschino cherry, but I find that it muddies the flavor.

hard Whiskey and Barterhouse Whiskey. A third, Rhetoric, is planned. Orphan barrels are just what they sound like, barrels scattered in various warehouses that were intended to go into a particular blend but for one reason or another didn’t. The oldest barrel, Old Blowhard, is 26 years old. The Orphan Barrel project is not limited to bourbon; a team also is scouting warehouses in Scotland and Ireland for likely candidates. “We’ve found some amazing

whiskey out there and more to come, as well,” says Ewan Morgan, Diageo’s Master of Whiskey in charge of the Orphan Barrel program. In case you need a refresher, whiskey, generally spelled whisky in Scotland and Canada, is a spirit made from a fermented mash of grain. Bourbon is a U.S. whiskey made from at least 51 percent corn and aged at least two years. Malted barley and rye are typically the other grains used in bourbon. Pappy, however, uses wheat, which some

feel is what gives it that special flavor. Want to try a wheated bourbon without the wait? Novak points out that W.L. Weller 12-year-old is a bit easier to find. In terms of bourbon generally, she’s a fan of the Angel’s Envy regular bourbon, not so hard to get as the Cask Strength. When you get ahold of that glass of good bourbon it’s best enjoyed, says Novak, with nothing more than three drops of water; she uses a dropper for precision. “It opens up the flavor,” she says.

Boyfriend’s ‘other woman’ Testosterone therapy carries risks in addition to benefits is permanently attached Dear Abby: My boyfriend and I have been dating for two years. We live together, and his child from another woman lives with us. I love my boyfriend and his child, but one thing prevents me from imagining us being married: He has his child’s mother’s name tattooed on his body. The tattoo bothers me for many reasons, and I’d like him to have it covered up if we ever do marry. He says he doesn’t want to get rid of it. When the topic comes up, we argue. Am I unreasonable for wanting him to get rid of the tattoo? If that woman really is in his past, why does he need a constant reminder of her on his body? – In A Stink

Over Ink Dear In A Stink: You’re asking the wrong person. Only your boyfriend can answer that. He might not want to go to the expense, or experience the pain of having more artwork done. Or he might not like the idea you are telling him what to do. However, if he has been

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips living with you for two years, I doubt it’s because he’s still carrying a torch for someone else. If you love him and the two of you want to get married, my advice is to accept him, warts, artwork and all, because regardless of any romance in his past, you have habeas corpus. (That’s Latin for “you have the body.”) Dear Abby: I consider myself a social person and enjoy talking to friends on the phone. My problem is, when I talk to one of them, she never will let me get off the phone. Sometimes we’ll talk for several hours, but eventually I have other obligations and have to go. When I tell her that, she often ignores me and keeps right on talking. I don’t want to be rude, but sometimes I have to say goodbye four and five times before she finally acknowl-

How can I make her let me off the phone without hanging up on her or upsetting her? – Mr. Nice Guy Dear Mr. Nice Guy: The person you’re describing obviously has less going on in her life than you do. She also might be a compulsive talker. The next time you talk to her, make the conversation face-to-face and tell her as much as you like her, you don’t have the amount of time to spend on the phone she does. Explain when you tell her you must end the conversation, if she doesn’t stop talking within five minutes, you will have to hang up. And then do it. Will she like it? No. But the alternative is she will continue to take advantage of you – which she has been doing because you have allowed it. • Write Dear Abby at www. dearabby.com or P.O.

They promise testosterone therapy for low blood levels of testosterone, or “low T,” will make you feel more alert, energetic, mentally sharp and sexually functional. Testosterone therapy is a good option for some men, but there also are risks. Testosterone is the major sex hormone in men. Low T can cause low sex drive, low energy, erectile dysfunction and decreased muscle mass. However, other conditions besides low T also can cause each of these symptoms. As men move into their mid-adult years, blood levels of testosterone tend to fall. But this is variable from one man to the next. The first question that sounds like it should be simple to answer, but isn’t, is what blood level of testosterone is truly “low.” The first complication is doctors measure two different types of testosterone: total and free testosterone.

A radish-arugula salad that doesn’t bite back By JOE YONAN The Washington Post As anybody who has gotten vegetable-cooking advice from their nearest farmers market can attest, sometimes Grower Knows Best. That’s certainly the case when the grower in question is also a cookbook author, writer and former food magazine editor. Susie Middleton did the back-to-the-land thing several years ago, walking away from the suburban home and the big job at Fine Cooking. She headed to Martha’s Vineyard, where she planted a garden, then a bigger garden, then moved to an old farmhouse to plant a bigger one, then started a farm stand, then – well, you see where this is going. She and her new love, the carpenter who built her a farm stand, became farmers. Her new book, “Fresh From the Farm” (Taunton Press), tells that story in its outer margins. Taking center stage are images of the vegetables she grew, and recipes for what she made with them. Read one and then another, and you’ll find yourself charmed by her conversational tone and equally breezy way of cooking. Back to that grower-knows-best idea. I was looking for something different to do with radishes, and there it was: Middleton quickly pickles them – and by quickly, I’m talking a matter of minutes – to remove just enough of their bite they become addictive. Tucked into arugula that’s been similarly tamed by lemon juice and a little honey, and with Parmesan, almonds and mint thrown into the mix, the radishes

are able to star. Middleton likes to pair pink radishes with arugula for her favorite color combination, but the salad looks positively cheery – farmfresh, indeed – no matter which color radish you choose.

Radish and Arugula Salad With Honey, Almonds and Mint 4 servings This quick salad makes the most of two of spring’s most flavorful, farm-fresh ingredients: radishes and arugula. Both have a peppery bite, so author and farmer

Susie Middleton quickly pickles thinly sliced radishes with a pinch of sugar to tame their heat; a little honey drizzled on top brings the whole thing together. The dish is simple, and beautiful. From Middleton’s “Fresh From the Farm” (Taunton Press, 2014). 6 or 7 large fresh radishes (4 ounces total), tops and tails removed, very thinly sliced 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice plus 1/4 lemon, seeded, or more as needed 1/4 teaspoon sugar 3/4 teaspoon fine sea salt, or more as needed 4 cups loosely packed baby

arugula leaves (about 2 1/2 ounces total) 4 teaspoons small fresh mint leaves or large leaves torn into smaller pieces 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil, or more as needed 1/4 cup sliced almonds, toasted and coarsely crushed (see NOTE) 2-ounce wedge Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese (preferably a few inches long, for easier shaving) 1 tablespoon honey, for drizzling 4 small edible flowers, such as violets, chive blossoms or short mint sprigs, for garnish (optional)

Combine the sliced radishes in a small, nonreactive bowl with the 2 teaspoons of lemon juice, the sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt. Let sit for 5 minutes, tossing occasionally. Combine the arugula and mint in a medium bowl. Squeeze the juice from the remaining 1/4 lemon over the greens, then drizzle on the oil. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, and toss to incorporate. Taste, and season with more lemon juice, oil and/or salt as needed. Divide the arugula-mint mixture among individual plates, mounding each portion. Sprinkle some of the crushed almonds on top. Drain the liquid from the radish-

es and arrange them in the center and around each mound of greens. Use a vegetable peeler to shave 5 or 6 thin curls or shards of cheese over the each portion. Sprinkle them with the remaining almonds, then drizzle them with the honey. Garnish with the edible flowers or mint sprigs, if using. Serve right away.

Note: Toast the almonds in a small, dry skillet over medium-low heat, shaking the pan to avoid scorching, until the nuts are fragrant and lightly browned. Cool completely before using. Ingredients are too variable for a meaningful nutritional analysis.

SPRINGFIELD – Farmers across Illinois took advantage of a dry weather last week to plant a big piece of state’s anticipated corn crop. The Illinois Department of Agriculture said in its weekly crop report that 32 percent of the expected corn crop has been planted. That is 1 percent shy of the average for this time of year, but well beyond of the 5 percent that had been planted a week ago. Farmers had been delayed by cool and wet weather. A handful of farmers also have started planting soybeans. The Agriculture Department said 2 percent of that crop was planted last week.

Consumer confidence in U.S. dips in April WASHINGTON – U.S. consumer confidence fell in April over concerns about hiring and business conditions, even though many people foresee a strengthening economy in the months ahead. The Conference Board said Tuesday that its confidence index dropped to 82.3 from a March reading of 83.9.

Perfect storm of circumstances leads to shortage LOS ANGELES – Every time a bartender at trendy Los Angeles fusion eatery Luna Park squeezes a shot of lime into a drink these days, owner Peter Kohtz said he winces a little. Luna Park, known for its large selection of craft cocktails, is one of thousands of restaurants from coast to coast that have fallen victim to the Great Green Citrus Crisis of 2014 – a severe shortage of limes that has meant that the fruit has skyrocketed in price in recent weeks. A case of 200 or so fetches between $80 and $130 now, up from about $15 last year – the result of a perfect storm of circumstances from citrus disease that struck Florida in 2001 and wiped out most lime groves to the increasing reach of drug cartels to disrupt supplies in Mexico, the biggest U.S. supplier. The cost might not seem like that big of a deal until one realizes that it’s lime juice that’s squeezed into every margarita, mojito or mai tai. It’s also lime that’s chopped up and mixed with fresh fish to create ceviche. It’s lime, mixed with avocado, that makes up guacamole – a mainstay at every Mexican restaurant. “It’s just one of those things that you take for granted.

The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Expect a dreary report Wednesday when the government issues its first estimate of how fast the U.S. economy grew in the January-March quarter. Brutal weather kept consumers and businesses in hibernation for much of the winter and likely slowed growth to a scant annual pace of 1.1 percent. Yet thanks to a bounce-back in consumer spending, business investment and job growth, analysts foresee a strengthening economy through the rest of the year. In fact, many said 2014 will be the year the recovery from the Great Recession finally achieves the robust growth that’s needed to accelerate hiring and reduce still-high unemployment. Most analysts think annual economic growth has rebounded to around 3 percent in the current April-June quarter and will remain roughly that strong through the second half of the year. If that proves accurate, the economy will have produced the fastest annual expansion in the gross domestic product, the broadest gauge of the economy’s health, in nine years. The last time growth was so strong was in 2005, when GDP grew 3.4 percent, two years before the nation fell

into the worst recession since the 1930s. A group of economists surveyed this month by The Associated Press said they expect unemployment to fall to 6.2 percent by the end of this year from 6.7 percent in March. One reason for the optimism is that a drag on growth last year from higher taxes and deep federal spending cuts has been diminishing. A congressional budget truce has also lifted any imminent threat of another government shutdown. As a result, businesses may find it easier to commit to investments to modernize and expand production facilities and boost hiring. State and local governments, which have benefited from a rebound in tax revenue, are hiring again as well. A survey by the private Conference Board released Tuesday found that while U.S. consumer confidence dipped this month, many people foresee a strengthening economy in the months ahead. Joel Naroff, chief economist at Naroff Economic Advisors, said he expects job growth to average above 200,000 a month for the rest of the year – starting with the April jobs report, which will be released Friday. “Those are the types of job gains which will generate incomes and consumer confidence going forward,” Naroff said.

Naroff said solid job growth should lead consumers, who drive about 70 percent of the U.S. economy, to boost spending. He expects pent-up demand from purchases that were put off during the harsh winter to power a burst of growth in the April-June quarter. He thinks annual growth for the quarter will reach a vigorous 4.3 percent. “If you take good income growth and pent-up demand and put them together, you get good consumer spending, and that spills over into the rest of the economy,” Naroff said. Economists are expressing optimism even though one key sector, housing, has slowed. Home sales have been depressed in recent months by severe weather, higher prices and a shortage of available houses. Yet even in this area, there was hopeful news this week: More Americans signed contracts to buy homes in March, the National Association of Realtors said. It was the first increase since June and a sign that the housing market might pick up after a sluggish start to the year. That was the latest hint of encouragement that as the severe winter fades further into the past, areas of the economy are reviving and consumers may spend freely again. Retail sales for March rose by the most in 18 months, led by gains in autos and furniture. Sales had fallen in December and January.

Chipotle’s price hike to hit steak lovers

Twitter posts 1Q loss, higher revenue SAN FRANCISCO – Twitter booked a net loss in the first quarter because of stock compensation costs, but its results surpassed Wall Street’s expectations thanks to a sharp increase in advertising revenue. Twitter Inc. said Tuesday that it had a loss of $132.4 million, or 23 cents per share, in the January-March quarter. That compares with a loss of $27 million, or 21 cents per share, a year ago when Twitter was still privately held. Adjusted earnings were $183,000, or roughly breakeven on a per share basis. Revenue more than doubled to $250 million from $114 million. Analysts had expected an adjusted loss of 3 cents per share on revenue of $241.5 million. Twitter said it had 255 million monthly users at the end of March, up 25 percent from a year ago.

Home price gains slow for third straight month WASHINGTON – U.S. home price gains cooled in February from the previous year for the third month in a row, as harsh winter weather and high buying costs have slowed sales. The Standard & Poor’s/ Case-Shiller 20-city home price index rose 12.9 percent in February compared with 12 months earlier. While healthy, that is down from a 13.2 percent gain in January. And home prices fell in 13 of the 20 cities in February compared with the previous month. The index is not adjusted for seasonal variations, so those declines partly reflect weaker sales in the winter. In addition to bad weather, sales have been held back by a limited supply of available homes, which has forced potential buyers to bid up prices. That’s caused prices to increase even as sales have slowed. Sales of existing homes fell to their lowest level in 20 months in March. – From wire reports

would be more like 4 percent to 6 percent, or 32 cents to 48 cents, assuming the cost of a burrito is $8. In the past, executives said they were considering a hike of 3 percent to 5 percent, or 24 cents to 40 cents. Chipotle said it will be the first national price hike in three years. He did not specify how much more prices would rise for steak than for chicken. Fast-food and restaurant chains are facing rising costs for beef, given the reductions in U.S. cattle inventory in recent years. In April, Hartung said Chipotle’s beef prices were up 25 percent compared with the prices it was paying in the fourth quarter of last year. Chipotle, which has more than 1,600 locations, isn’t the only one encouraging customers to switch to chicken as the cost of beef climbs. Burger King’s head of North American operations,

By CANDICE CHOI The Associated Press NEW YORK – Chipotle’s coming price hikes could hit steak lovers particularly hard. The Mexican food chain said earlier this month it plans to start charging more for its burritos, bowls and tacos in coming weeks as it faces rising costs for ingredients. On Tuesday, Chief Financial Officer Jack Hartung noted that the chain doesn’t currently charge a whole lot more for its steak filling, even though beef costs have climbed considerably. “There’s a very narrow gap between our steak burrito and our chicken burrito. We’re going to widen that,” Hartung said at the Barclays Retail and Consumer Discretionary Conference in New York City. “We’re going to allow our customers to choose whether

Chioptle Chief Financial Officer Jack Hartung noted that the chain doesn’t currently charge a whole lot more for its steak filling, even though beef costs have climbed considerably. He said Chipotle will widen the price gap between steak and chicken. they want to pay the higher price of steak.” Hartung also said the price hike

Mexican cartel affecting lime prices Press last month the cartel extorts as much as $1.4 million a week from legitimate businesses, mainly lime and avocado growers. In some instances, he said, the cartel is now running some of the state’s wholesale lime distribution centers where prices are set. Last winter’s storms, which triggered major floods across western Mexico, also destroyed crops, and a plant disease that struck the Mexican state of Colima damaged still more. The result, the price of limes has shot up dramatically in Mexico and the U.S. Restaurants in Seattle and New York have reported paying as much as $130 a case for them. As the industry waits for the summer crop to lower prices, some restaurants and bars nationwide are pulling lime drinks off their happy hour menus. Others are substituting ingredients such as lemons or oranges, said Annika Stensson of the National Restaurant Association. That’s not an option at El Coyote, said Wayne Christoffersen, manager of the popular Mexican eatery that’s been a fixture with Hollywood’s hipster and film industry crowd since opening in 1931. “People want to see a lime in their margarita, and rightfully so,” said Christoffersen, who is paying $80 a case for them. “A margarita’s not a margarita without the lime.” Independent filmmaker Laura Bahr, who has downed her share of margaritas at El Coyote and other watering holes, said if anyone dared put anything but a lime in her drink she’d likely never go back. “The lime mixed with the tequila is just a winsome combination,” she said. “Like peanut butter and jelly.” So until the price spike ends, Kohtz of Luna Park said he’s come up with the only alternative he can think of. “I tell the bartenders, ‘Squeeze those limes extra hard. Squeeze out every drop you can.’ ”

• LIMES Continued from page E1 a bag of limes from their backyard tree. In Phoenix, the Arizona Republic reported that a bar and restaurant group is offering a free cocktail, glass of wine or beer to anyone who brings in 5 pounds of limes. Which raises the question, if limes grow on backyard trees in Los Angeles and Phoenix, why are they so expensive? Because they don’t really grow well enough in most of the U.S. to be produced commercially, said Jonathan Crane, a tropical fruit crop specialist at the University of Florida’s horticultural sciences department. Until 2001, Crane said, Florida produced half of all the limes consumed in the United States. But then a devastating citrus canker outbreak led officials to order almost all of Florida’s lime groves destroyed and the industry never recovered. Mexico began producing more than 90 percent of the limes now consumed in the United States. In most of California, the weather isn’t warm or humid enough to produce commercial quality limes, and the state only has a few hundred acres in production near the Mexican border. Mexico’s crop, meanwhile, was hit by a myriad of problems this year, including flooding in some areas and interference from the Knight Templar drug cartel, which jacked up prices by disrupting deliveries and shaking down farmers. Like American mobsters, the drug cartel that controls much of the Mexican state of Michoacan where both limes and marijuana grow in abundance, has been muscling in on legitimate businesses. A Mexican official told The Associated

Alex Macedo, also has noted that the chain has been able to maintain its profitability in part by marketing chicken items more aggressively. This week, Miami-based Burger King is bringing back its popular “Subservient Chicken” advertising campaign from a decade ago to promote a chicken version of its Big King sandwich. Even if Chipotle Mexican Grill’s higher prices for steak push customers to trade down to chicken or other options, Hartung noted that those alternatives are more profitable for the company because the ingredients don’t cost as much. Exactly how much of a price increase customers see at Chipotle in coming weeks will depend on where they live. The company has said the price hike should be in place by this summer.

Toyota moving U.S. base from California to Texas By MICHAEL R. BLOOD The Associated Press LOS ANGELES – Toyota delivered a surprise pink slip to California on Monday, announcing the company would move its U.S. headquarters and about 3,000 jobs from the Los Angeles suburbs to the outskirts of Dallas. The world’s largest automaker will keep a foothold in the Golden State – about 2,300 jobs will remain in California after the company settles into its new corporate campus in Plano, Texas. But the announcement is an economic and symbolic slap for California, a historic center of American car culture that has been trying to shake its reputation as a frustrating place to run a business, whether that involves shooting a film or selling a Prius. “When you look at the whole package, it’s difficult to be a business here,” lamented Torrance Mayor Frank Scotto, whose community on the edge of the Pacific will suffer as the jobs migrate to Texas. “If all these great, highend jobs are leaving California, then we are going to turn into a place that’s a retirement community” with lowpaying service-sector jobs, Scotto said. “We can’t have

that,” he added, warning that unless the state has a change of attitude, “it’s going to be way too late.” Toyota’s announcement comes about two months after Occidental Petroleum Corp. disclosed it was moving its headquarters to Houston from Los Angeles. Texas Gov. Rick Perry has been on a publicity campaign to promote his state as a haven for businesses seeking lower taxes and eased government regulation, but Toyota didn’t mention what, if any, role Perry played in the company’s decision. Perry, who made two visits to California to lure employers to his state, said Texas offered Toyota $40 million in incentives from the taxpayer-funded Texas Enterprise Fund. The Republican governor said Toyota is expected to invest $300 million in the new headquarters. Republicans quickly blamed Sacramento for the loss, where Democrats control the Legislature and every statewide office. A statement issued by Gov. Jerry Brown’s Office of Business and Economic Development did not mention Toyota but stressed the state’s steadied balance sheet and jobs recovered after the devastating recession.

In yesterday’s column, we looked at a deal in which the responder made a strong jump shift, then, on the second round, jumped again in his suit to announce that it was completely solid. In today’s deal, the responder jumps in his own suit, then jumps in his partner’s suit. What does that show? While you are thinking about that, some pairs add a third hand-type for a strong jump shift: a strong 5-3-3-2. I do not like that, because when responder rebids in no-trump, opener does not know the length of responder’s suit. In my two-way style, responder must have a six-card suit if he jumps in it, then rebids in no-trump. This allows the opener to count winners more accurately. North’s sequence here shows, in principle, ive decent spades, four good hearts and 5-4-2-2 distribution, with (almost) all of his points in the majors. His hand is a textbook example. Then South wonders if a grand slam might be makable, but decides to settle for “a sure thing.”

West leads the diamond king. Declarer thinks that he can see 12 winners (ive spades, ive hearts, one diamond and one club), with the club inesse for the overtrick. So South takes the irst trick with his diamond ace and draws trumps. Then he turns to the spades, but suddenly ive tricks there shrink to four. Now he has no sensible choice but to take the club inesse. Finally something works. Note that East did well to keep equal length with the dummy, never discarding a spade while declarer drew trumps.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You can’t let past disappointments hold you back. Keep your head up and move forward with pride. Don’t waste time stewing over things you cannot change. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Don’t waste time on idle chitchat. Someone is likely to use your flippant attitude against you. Focus on being productive, not entertaining. Keep your plans a secret. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- A travel opportunity is coming your way. Your imagination is in overdrive, and a new hobby or endeavor will help to satisfy your creative urges. Love is in the stars. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- What was touted as a foolproof investment could prove to be very costly. Don’t take any unnecessary risks. You can’t expect to get something for nothing. Be smart with your cash. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Mingling after hours with colleagues could prove to be very rewarding today. You will be able to learn a lot of useful information from people with more experience than you. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Keep a watchful eye on your personal documents and make sure everything is up to date. Double-check that you have done everything in your power to ward off a financial loss. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Expect to face demanding individuals. Keep your emotions in check and assert yourself if you feel you are being taken advantage of. Put your needs first for a change. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- You may find hidden value in an overlooked asset. If you are feeling overwhelmed, get out and do something physical to relieve stress. Clear up any misunderstanding or uncertainty. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Children and close friends should be included in your plans today. Getting together with those you love will make you feel good about your life and future. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Family problems are likely if you have not been paying attention to current developments. Take a look at your financial situation before you overspend on an impulsive purchase. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Get involved in a benevolent or charitable organization. You have a lot to offer, and important connections will be made if you share your best ideas with others. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Get together with friends during the evening hours, but take care of your own responsibilities first to put your mind at ease. Romance will enhance your personal life.
