Good morning, McHenry County ...

Bull Valley paying police chief to go away If village officials are to be believed, Bull Valley residents have lost their police chief and last remaining full-time law enforcement officer because of budget troubles.

Jim Page’s last day was Wednesday. He had been in the news recently because his department was issuing tickets to contractors in unmarked vehicles under Illinois law. Lake in the Hills resident Chuck Casamento, whose employee was issued a ticket under the ordinance, filed a lawsuit against the village in December after charges he allegedly battered Page were dropped.

Casamento claims he was falsely arrested in retaliation for criticizing the police department.

Page responded with a lawsuit of his own, alleging that malicious posts on Casamento’s Facebook page have damaged his reputation.

None of this played into Page’s dismissal, according to Village President Emily Berendt.

TODAY’S TALKER

POLICE CHIEF LET GO

WOMAN BURIED IN PRISON

Bull Valley officials announced budget constraints have led the village to eliminate Police Chief Jim Page’s position, and the village now will operate as a part-time department. Page, 50, served as chief for the past year of his three years with department, and said he knew his position was in jeopardy when the village laid off its other full-time officer about 10 weeks ago. Story, page A6.

HAWKS FALL TO BLUES

The Blackhawks gave up a goal to the St. Louis Blues’ Vladimir Tarasenko late in regulation to tie the game at 1, and Tarasenko scored again in overtime to defeat the Hawks, 2-1, Thursday night.

With the win, the Blues remain tied with the Dallas Stars for first in the Central Division. Story, page B11.

WHERE IT’S AT

TWEET

Page’s $70,000 annual salary plus insurance costs were greater than the combined wages of the departments remaining five part-time officers.

How much is Bull Valley paying Page to go away? Despite this information being a matter of public record, village officials wouldn’t say. A Freedom of Information Act request from us will get that information soon enough.

LA PAZ, Bolivia – Officials said an inmate apparently killed his ex-wife and buried her beneath his cell in Bolivia’s largest prison – with nobody taking notice for nearly a year.

Chief prosecutor Gomer Padilla told The Associated Press that the body was found after a fellow inmate confessed to helping bury Kenia Hidalgo Cespedes. The prosecutor said Marco Antonio Ramirez apparently failed to pay the conspirator an agreed-on $278 to keep silent.

Padilla said all evidence points to the body being that of Hidalgo, although it hasn’t been formally confirmed. Ramirez is imprisoned for killing another former girlfriend.

His ex-wife apparently visited to discuss the sale of a jointly owned apartment.

COMFORT FOR CAREGIVERS

Support groups provide advice for those caring for ill loved ones

By CAITLIN SWIECA

cswieca@shawmedia.com Whenever preparing for one of the monthly caregiver support group sessions she leads, Inez Young bakes a dessert and prepares coffee to share with participants.

“Their job is caregiving, and they’re giving all the time,” Young said. “They need someone to show they care about them.”

Young understands how much that simple gesture can mean to the caregivers she mentors, who are taking care of family members with dementia or Alzheimer’s disease.

The longtime Holiday Hills resident has been involved with the sup-

Susan and Al stand together on their wedding day July 3, 1983, in the Woodstock Court House. port groups coordinated by Woodstock-based Family Alliance for 18 years, first as a participant and now as a facilitator.

The idea for the treats, she said, came from Lynda Markut, a former

Family Alliance employee who has been leading those support groups for more than three decades.

Markut now works for the Milwaukee Alzheimer’s Association and trains others to facilitate such

groups. She said the sessions can take on many formats, but the goal is always to share advice and provide caregivers with a supportive environment.

“If I’m a facilitator and I’ve been through the situation, I’m going to look across the room and help the person sharing their story to understand: ‘I am here, I am listening,’ ” Markut said. “That’s what they need the most. They need someone to listen to them.”

Family Alliance Clinical Director Cheryl Levinson said between 30 and 40 people typically attend one of the center’s free support groups each month. Family Alliance sponsors eight different types of groups, with a majority of those focusing on those caring for a loved one with dementia or Alzheimer’s.

Levinson said the programs are a natural extension of the agency’s work with patients who have memory loss. “[We’re] realizing their importance and the value they provide in

The City Council could vote on the recommendation as soon as its April 19 meeting. Council members were thrilled with the proposal when it was presented to them by church members in January.

Willow Creek’s Crystal Lake location is one of seven for the South Barrington-based nondenominational megachurch.

Its Sunday morning services have swelled from 300 attendees to more than 1,200, despite being located three blocks down a dead-end road.

The purchase price of the building and the land is $7.5 million, according to the church’s website.

Once the plan is approved, the church will move forward with building in phases, with the hope of opening the building to the public in fall 2017.

Village eliminates police chief position, cites budget concerns

By KATIE DAHLSTROM

kdahlstrom@shawmedia.com BULL VALLEY – The village of Bull Valley will operate as a part-time police department after officials said budget constraints drove them to eliminate Police Chief Jim Page’s position.

Page, who has served as chief for the past year of his three years with the department, said he knew the elimination of his position was imminent when the village laid off its other fulltime officer about 10 weeks ago.

He found out Friday that he would be out of a job after Tuesday’s Village Board meeting.

“It’s never good, but I already had some other offers come in,” Page said.

“I’ll be OK. I appreciate the opportunity they gave me.”

Page, 50, said his annual salary was $70,000, but he cost the village about $100,000 annually including vehicle and health insurance costs.

He said his salary and benefits were greater than the combined wages of the departments remaining five part-time officers.

The village will award Page a sev-

Bull Valley village president erance package, but officials would not comment on the amount he will receive.

Village President Emily Berendt, in a five-sentence written statement issued Thursday, said Page had turned over his badge and all issued equipment. His last day was Wednesday.

Village Administrator Richard Vance will supervise the department’s remaining officers, she said.

“We thank Chief Page for his years of service and wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors,” Berendt said

BARRINGTON

BARRINGTON – A 45-year-old Barrington man faces felony child pornography charges after police said a search of several electronic devices in his home uncovered more than 10,000 videos and images, many depicting children younger than 13.

John P. Malecki, of the 500 block of Shorely Drive, is being held in the Lake County Jail on $150,000 bail, according to a news release from Lake County Sheriff’s Detective Christopher Covelli.

Malecki was arrested Wednesday after an investigation by the Lake County Sheriff’s Office Cybercrimes Unit and the Lake County State’s Attorney’s Cybercrimes unit, the release said.

Police said they executed a search

in the statement.

She said she could not immediately provide details on the budget difficulties that led to the decision.

Page and Berendt were adamant that a recent controversy over his department issuing tickets to contractors in unmarked vehicles under an Illinois law that requires some commercial vehicles to post business names on vehicles did not play a role in the village decision.

“It’s strictly a budget decision,” Berendt said.

Lake in the Hills resident Chuck Casamento, whose employee was issued a ticket under the ordinance, filed a lawsuit against the village in December after charges that he allegedly battered Page were dropped.

Casamento claims he was falsely arrested in retaliation for criticizing the police department.

Page responded with a lawsuit of his own, alleging that malicious posts on Casamento’s Facebook page have damaged his reputation.

A forensic examination of the devices revealed thousands of images, police said.

Because of the large volume of child pornography, additional digital forensics will be conducted, according to the release.

Malecki is charged with 10 counts of possession of child pornography, each a Class 2 felony that carries a John P. possible prison term of Malecki three to seven years.

Police said additional charges are possible.

Malecki is next scheduled to appear in Lake County court at 9 a.m.

McHenry to begin spring hydrant flushing Monday

McHENRY – City officials said McHenry will begin its spring hydrant flushing operation on Monday for a two-week period ending April 22. Should a delay arise, the flushing operation will be completed the week of April 29, city officials said.

Hydrant flushing is necessary to clean and maintain the water distribution system. During the flushing period, water can become discolored. If this occurs, residents are urged to run their cold water tap for a few minutes until the water clears.

If this does not correct the problem, residents should wait about an hour and try again. City officials said residents should not run their hot water until the cold water tap has cleared.

This discoloration is not hazardous to human consumption; however, clothing can become stained during laundering.

Residents with questions are asked to call the McHenry Public Works Department at 815-363-2186.

LOCAL BRIEF

Pickup truck knocks down tree, hits garage

By HANNAH PROKOP

hprokop@shawmedia.com McHENRY – A 70-year-old McHenry man was taken to the hospital Thursday after his vehicle crashed into a tree, house and garage, officials said.

McHenry Township Fire Protection District Battalion Chief Dave Harwood said the department responded to the crash about 4 p.m. at 1118 S. Crystal Lake Road in unincorporated McHenry.

Harwood said the man was driving a pickup truck north on South Crystal Lake Road, just north of Mason Hill Road, when he crossed traffic and drove through a field on the west side of the road.

He then crossed the road again and drove into the yard of a home east of South Crystal Lake Road, Harwood said.

The truck knocked down a tree, ran over boulders and clipped the corner

of the house before hitting the garage, he said.

The man was not injured in the crash, Harwood said, but was taken to Centegra Hospital – McHenry, because officials think he was having a diabetic issue.

He said there were no passengers in the truck.

No one in the house was injured, Harwood said.

He said the garage wall was pushed in a couple feet, and the house seemed to be structurally sound.

McHenry County building and zoning officials were notified of the crash, Harwood said, and the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office also responded.

McHenry County Sheriff’s Deputy Aimee Knop said there were no citations issued in the crash, which appeared to have occurred because of a medical episode.

She said the truck, a 2008 Ford F-450, was towed with heavy damage.

• SUPPORT

Continued from page A3 our country and to our health care system in general,” Levinson said. “If they weren’t there, I don’t know if our health care system would survive.”

According to a 2015 National Alliance for Caregiving study, 39.8 million Americans have provided unpaid health care to an adult in the last year.

Of the caregivers involved in the study, 22 percent said their health had gotten worse as a result of caregiving, and two in five said they found caregiving to be emotionally stressful.

At Family Alliance, Levinson sees those statistics play out in the surveys they distribute to find out the concerns of new support group members. Invariably, she said, self-care and stress management are the first two concerns participants rank.

Along with Family Alliance, associations such as the Department of Veteran Affairs and the Alzheimer’s Association offer support groups for caregivers in McHenry County.

Young joined a support group at Family Alliance 18 years ago seeking advice and support as she was caring for her husband, who had Alzheimer’s and attended adult day care at the facility.

Around that time, Markut said she realized that caregiving for a spouse came with different emotional complications than caregiving for a parent. She started a group for caregiving spouses, including Young, which was supposed to last six weeks.

The group jelled so well that its members still meet once a month for dinner and often attend each other’s family events. Although Young’s husband died a year after she joined the group, she’s stayed involved and now facilitates two groups to provide others with the type of help she received in her time of need.

Anatole Crane of Barrington Hills also was part of that original caregiver support group. He said he draws on his own experiences heavily while leading caregiver groups now.

Al Jette laughs at a story his wife, Susan, tells Tuesday inside their McHenry home. In the background hangs helpful tools showing the evidence of Al’s development of Alzheimer’s disease – a dry erase board to show the month and day of the week as a reminder.

More information Family Alliance support groups are free to join by calling 815-338-3590.

“Once people get started, they’re usually anxious to talk a great deal,” Crane said. “There’s a great benefit in sharing your problems with others and having them share with you. You learn so much when you see that others have been in similar situations.”

Susan Jette of McHenry, whose husband, Al, has Alzheimer’s and receives services from Family Alliance, said she has received great support from a caregiver support group through the Department of Veterans Affairs.

“We kind of give suggestions to each other – I tried this and it worked, or, I tried that and it didn’t work,” Jette said. “If you get there and you’ve had a bad month and want to sit there and cry, you can do that.”

Those at Family Alliance have spread their work with caregivers beyond McHenry County.

Crane and Markut interviewed a number of caregivers and used their

experiences in a book, entitled “Dementia Caregivers Share Their Stories: A Support Group in a Book,” which Markut said is formatted to guide readers through the different stages of dementia.

Last year, Family Alliance also launched a conference series called “Connections for Those Who Care” to provide more information for those caregivers. The next event in the series will be presented April 16 at Family Alliance’s Huntley location.

Some of the members of the original spousal support group have spoken at about their experiences at conferences.

In 2014, Crane and Young were honored with volunteer awards from the National Adult Day Services Associations.

Young, who has nurtured friendships with many members of support groups over the years, said it’s not about the recognition.

“Sometimes I feel selfish being given a pat on the back, because I’m getting so much in return,” she said.

Family Alliance’s support groups are free to join, and new members can join by calling the agency at 815-3383590.

Horse owner, racing giant dies at age 75 The ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK – Ogden Mills “Dinny” Phipps, a prominent thoroughbred owner and breeder whose stable produced 2013 Kentucky Derby winner Orb, has died. He was 75.

Phipps died Wednesday night at New York-Presbyterian Hospital, The Jockey Club said Thursday. The horse racing organization, of which Phipps was once its longtime chairman, did not give a cause of death.

Alex Waldrop, president and CEO of the National Thorough- Ogden Mills bred Racing Associa- Phipps tion, called Phipps “a deeply committed leader, sportsman, steward and advocate for the sport he loved.”

Phipps Stable ran many winners of top races, notably Orb, a horse he owned in partnership with his cousin Stuart S. Janney III. “There is no area of American racing that was not touched – and positively so – by Mr. Phipps and his influence,” Churchill Downs President Kevin Flanery said. He added that seeing Phipps in the winner’s circle at the 2013 Derby will “always rank among the most wonderful moments in the recent history of the Run for the Roses and American racing.”

Phipps’ list of star horses was daunting. He owned and raced Successor, the champion juvenile colt of 1966; Rhythm, the champion 2-yearold colt of 1989 and 1990 Travers winner; Inside Information, the champion older filly or mare of 1995; Storm Flag Flying, the 2-year-old filly champion of 2002; and Smuggler, the 3-year-

old filly champion of 2005.

Craig Fravel, Breeders’ Cup president and CEO, said Phipps’ accomplishments as a breeder and owner were unmatched.

“We are indebted to Dinny for his numerous contributions to what is right about our game and for speaking out when we fell short,” he said.

Phipps was chairman of The Jockey Club from 1983 to 2015, the longest service in that post in an organization dating to 1894. The group’s main responsibility is to maintain the stud book of American horses and ensure the welfare of thoroughbreds in North America.

Phipps also was chairman of the New York Racing Association from 1976 to 1983. On Saturday, he will be honored at Aqueduct Racetrack.

“He was a giant of a man, both in life and in the industry,” said Michael J. Del Giudice, vice chairman of NYRA’s Board of Directors. “On behalf of the entire NYRA board, we extend our deepest condolences to his family and loved ones.”

In a speech in Paris in 2014, Phipps spoke of his devotion to racing.

“Quite simply, I see it as a way of giving back to a sport that has provided me with so much enjoyment,” he said. “That was probably passed on to me from my dad, and I try to instill that sense of responsibility and commitment in my kids.”

Phipps also was a financier of considerable standing. From 1976 to 1994, he was chairman of the Board of Bessemer Trust, the private bank and investment adviser established by the Phipps family in 1907. He was chairman of Bessemer Securities Corp. from 1982 until 1994. He served on the two boards until he retired in 2015.

Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – Don’t give in to pressure or stubborn people. Focus on what you want and be relentless in pursuing your goals. If you make romance and love priorities, your domestic life will be a source of crucial support in a busy and successful life.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Take a moment to consider all your options. Impatience will lead to mistakes and add to your stress. Concentrate on what you can do, not on what others are doing.

STATE Obama: GOP imperils judicial integrity with Garland

By DARLENE SUPERVILLE The Associated Press

CHICAGO – President Barack Obama accused Senate Republicans on Thursday of jeopardizing the “integrity of the judicial branch” by refusing to consider his “extraordinary” nominee to the Supreme Court.

Holding court before Chicago law students, Obama argued that the treatment of judge Merrick Garland will cause the public to lose confidence in the ability of courts at all levels of government to fairly judge cases and resolve controversies.

“Our democracy can’t afford that,” Obama said.

Obama introduced Garland, chief judge of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, three weeks ago at the White House, but the nomination had stalled long before that sunny March day in the Rose Garden.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., had announced hours

Report: 4 ‘credible’ sex abuse allegations against Hastert

CHICAGO – At least four people have made “credible allegations of sexual abuse” against former House Speaker Dennis Hastert, the Chicago Tribune reported Thursday, citing unidentified law enforcement sources.

The newspaper said all of the accusers are men whose allegations stem from when they were teenagers and Hastert was their high school coach in Yorkville, southwest of Chicago.

One of the accusers is a relative of one of Hastert’s friends and was a student leader at the school in the 1970s, according to the paper.

When that accuser, who has been identified in court documents only as Individual A, applied for his first job after college, he listed Hastert as a reference, the Tribune said.

After landing the job in the mid-1980s, he suffered from an

President Barack Obama responds to questions Thursday at the University of Chicago Law School, where he taught constitutional law for more than a decade. after Justice Antonin Scalia’s death in February that the Senate would not hold hearings or vote on any nomination Obama sent to Capitol Hill in an election year.

Obama said that stance is jeopardizing democracy by leading to poten-

anxiety disorder, and court records revealed serious financial problems, the paper reported.

The Tribune said it had determined the identities of three accusers. One of them is dead.

The other two are Individual A and a man referred to as Individual D. The Tribune did not name any of the men who are still alive, and it said it did not know the identity of the fourth accuser and offered no details about that person.

Illinois GOP: Free up unspent money for social programs

SPRINGFIELD – Republicans in the Illinois General Assembly are proposing $1.3 billion in spending to cover human services.

Senate minority leader Christine Radogno and House GOP leader Jim Durkin said most of the money would come from state funds set up for special purposes. The money in those funds can’t be spent because there’s no budget to provide spending authority.

Radogno said it is necessary for services for the elderly, child support, affordable housing, drug addiction treatment and diversionary programs for

tial 4-4 ties on cases from the Supreme Court. He also said there potentially are two terms in which the high court will have to issue rulings without a tie-breaking justice.

Obama described that scenario as unprecedented and said the courts have become a troubling extension of America’s broken politics.

“That erodes the institutional integrity of the judicial branch,” Obama told about 300 students, faculty and judges at the University of Chicago Law School, where he taught constitutional law for more than a decade. “At that point, people lose confidence in the ability of the courts to fairly adjudicate cases and controversies, and our democracy can’t afford that.”

On the Senate floor Thursday, McConnell said Obama would “be telling supporters a politically convenient fairy tale” by arguing that the Constitution requires a Senate vote on his nominee.

Garland has been meeting with Democratic and Republican senators on

low-level criminal offenders.

She said her spending plan depends on passage of her other legislation to reduce public pension costs.

Legislative Democrats and Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner have been at odds over a spending plan for 10 months.

State ordered to give in-home care to 1,200 children

SPRINGFIELD – Cash-strapped Illinois needs to provide in-home nursing care to more than 1,200 children with disabilities and severe medical conditions, a federal judge ordered Wednesday, responding to a lawsuit alleging the state has failed to fulfill its Medicaid obligations.

“This is a systemic problem,” said Robert Farley, one of the attorneys suing the state.

The ruling from federal Judge Charles P. Kocoras in Chicago does not resolve the lawsuit, which could play out over several months or longer. But his preliminary injunction requires the state to act now because the “plaintiffs have demonstrated a likelihood of success.”

The plaintiffs’ lawyers said the state plans to appeal the decision

Capitol Hill, but there is no indication the sessions are influencing the political calculus of the Senate Republican leadership.

He met Thursday with four Democrats: Sens. Heidi Heitkamp of North Dakota, Sherrod Brown of Ohio, Chris Coons of Delaware and Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut. Blumenthal, after his meeting, urged more Republicans to meet with Garland.

“He will be a unifying force if confirmed,” Blumenthal said.

Most GOP senators, including McConnell, have said they will not meet with Garland, although Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley of Iowa has invited the judge to meet over breakfast Tuesday.

Sen. Mark Kirk of Illinois, a Republican regarded as one of the most vulnerable incumbents seeking re-election in November, was the first GOP senator to meet with Garland. Kirk is one of a few Republicans to call for hearings on his nomination.

and ask that the order be stayed until the lawsuit is resolved.

The children affected by the lawsuit all been have approved by the state to receive in-home care and have not gotten the services promised – facts that Kocoras said are undisputed.

State again sending vehicle emissions test reminders

SPRINGFIELD – The state of Illinois will resume sending vehicle emissions test notices after it stopped in December because of the lack of a state budget, but it won’t do the same with renewal notices for license plate stickers.

The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency and the Illinois Secretary of State said Wednesday that the EPA’s vehicle emissions testing contractor, Applus Technologies Inc., has agreed to print and email the reminders at no additional cost to the state.

The notices started to go out Wednesday for vehicles due for emissions tests in March, April and May, Illinois EPA spokeswoman Kim Biggs told the Chicago Sun-Times.

In February, the state agencies

announced that the mailing of vehicle emissions test notices would be suspended to save money amid the state budget impasse. Vehicle owners whose license plates expired at the end of March were the first motorists who didn’t receive the notices.

Bill would bar questions about Ill. students’ crimes

SPRINGFIELD – Legislation now being considered by the Illinois General Assembly would bar colleges from asking prospective students whether they have been convicted of crimes.

According to The News-Gazette, the bill sponsored by Rep. Barbara Wheeler would allow a school to inquire about criminal backgrounds only after students have been admitted.

The Crystal Lake Republican said the bill would make it easier for someone who committed a crime to get into college and turn their life around.

Don Sevener, a lobbyist for Northern Illinois University, said the school opposes the bill because it would prevent schools from taking steps to protect people already on campus.

Putin: Panama Papers part of U.S. plot to weaken Russia

By IRINA TITOVA and VLADIMIR ISACHENKOV The Associated Press

ST. PETERSBURG, Russia – President Vladimir Putin on Thursday denied having any links to offshore accounts and described the Panama Papers document leaks scandal as part of a U.S.-led plot to weaken Russia.

Putin also defended a cellist friend named as the alleged owner of an offshore company, describing him as a philanthropist who spent his own funds to buy rare musical instruments for Russian state collections.

Speaking at a media forum in St. Petersburg, Putin said Western media pushed the claims of his involvement in offshore businesses even though his name didn’t feature in any of the documents leaked from a Panamanian law firm.

Putin described the allegations as part of the U.S.-led disinformation campaign waged against Russia in order to weaken its government.

“They are trying to destabilize us from within in order to make us more compliant,” he said.

The Washington-based

International Consortium of Investigative Journalists said the documents it obtained indicated that Russian cellist Sergei Roldugin acted as a front man for a network of Putin loyalists, and, perhaps, the president himself.

The ICIJ said the documents show how complex offshore financial deals channeled as much as $2 billion to a network of people linked to the Russian president.

Putin said Roldugin, a longtime friend, did nothing wrong. He said he was proud of Roldugin and that the musician spent his personal money to advance cultural projects.

Roldugin used the money he earned as a minority shareholder of a Russian company to buy rare musical instruments abroad and hand them over to the Russian state, Putin said.

“Without publicizing himself, he also has worked to organize concerts, promote Russian culture abroad and effectively paid his own money for that,” Putin added. “The more people like him we have, the better. And I’m proud to have friends like him.”

Putin contended that Washington has fanned allegations of Russian official

corruption in order to weaken Moscow as the U.S. has become concerned about Russia’s growing economic and military might.

“The events in Syria have demonstrated Russia’s capability to solve problems far away from its borders,” he said, adding that Moscow has achieved its goal “to strengthen the Syrian statehood, its legitimate government bodies.”

Putin said it’s essential to prevent the collapse of the Syrian state to stem the flow of refugees to Europe.

He praised cooperation between Moscow and Washington in efforts to broker a cease-fire, which went into effect Feb. 27.

But while lauding contacts on Syria, he signaled tensions on another issue, accusing the U.S. of breaching its obligations under an agreement to reprocess weapons-grade plutonium.

He said that while Russia has abided by the deal and built reprocessing facilities, the U.S. has opted for a different technology which, he alleged, allowed it to maintain the so-called “return potential” of keeping weapons-grade materials if it wishes to do so.

Dems clash over qualifications, background

By KEN THOMAS and ERRIN HAINES WHACK The Associated Press

NEW YORK – With accusations of lying, hustling for money and failed leadership, the race for the Democratic nomination took a decidedly negative turn, with Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders exchanging a series of barbs over qualifications for the presidency.

The testy exchanges underscored the heightened stakes for both sides as the race turns to New York, where Sanders hopes to turn his recent winning streak into concrete momentum toward the nomination. Clinton, meanwhile, is looking to the April 19 contest to take command of a primary race that many in her campaign worry will only amplify her weaknesses heading into the general election.

Sanders’ path to the nomination remains narrow: The Vermont senator must win 68 percent of the remaining delegates and uncommitted superdelegates if he hopes to clinch the Democratic nomination. That would require blowout victories by Sanders in upcoming states big and small, including New York. Lagging in delegates and under fire from a frustrated Clinton, Sanders is shifting away from his pledge to avoid negative attacks and stinging her with direct accusations.

“I will not leave here this morning and go to a Wall Street fundraiser,” he told union members at an AFL-CIO conference in Philadelphia on Thursday.

“I will not be hustling money from the wealthy and the powerful.”

The comment was a direct dig at Clinton, who was headed to Ohio and Colorado for fundraising after a campaign stop in New York City.

“This is not the type of politics that I wanna get in,” he told journalists in Philadelphia. “But we’ll get used to it fast. I’m not gonna get beat up. I’m not gonna get lied about.”

Clinton sought to shift attention back to her Republican opponents, telling

RIGHT: Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr. ride the subway Thursday in the Bronx borough of New York. reporters Thursday, “I will take Bernie Sanders over Donald Trump or Ted Cruz anytime, so let’s keep our eye over what’s at stake in this election.”

The race for the Democratic nomination has remained relatively civil as compared to a chaotic and crowded Republican race colored by flagrant attacks.

Clinton has spent much of the past few weeks focused on Trump and Cruz, hoping to rally her party behind her by warning that a Republican president would roll back President Barack Obama’s achievements. But since Sanders logged a big win in Wisconsin on Tuesday night – his sixth victory in the last seven contests – she’s been forced to pivot back to her primary opponent.

A former New York senator, she’s been touting her work in Congress for the state, highlighting her economic record in visits to struggling upstate cities.

On Thursday, she took a quick jaunt on the New York City subway, riding the train two stops in the Bronx. Walking along East 170th Street afterward, she stopped to shake hands and greet a baby

in a stroller. “I need your vote!” she told one man before dropping into Munch Time, a cafe near Townsend Avenue.

The photo op was aimed at Sanders, who told the New York Daily News in an interview earlier this week that New Yorkers still used tokens to pay for the train. The system switched over to MetroCards in 2003.

A Brooklyn native, Sanders left New York for Vermont in 1968. Still, he’s cast himself as a native son of the state, viewing the contest as a springboard into primaries along the Eastern seaboard in April and out West later in the spring, and a pathway to closing his more-than250-delegate gap with Clinton.

Clinton unleashed a flurry of attacks against Sanders on Wednesday, questioning his truthfulness and policy expertise, although she stopped short of saying he was unqualified for the job.

In a discussion of Sanders’ interview with the editorial board of the New York Daily News, Clinton was asked if “Bernie Sanders is qualified and ready to be president of the United States.”

She responded, “Well, I think he hadn’t done his homework and he’d been talking for more than a year about doing things that he obviously hadn’t really studied or understood, and that does raise a lot of questions.”

Sanders jumped on the remark, telling a crowd of more than 10,000 people in Philadelphia on Wednesday night that Clinton has been saying that he’s “not qualified to be president.”

“I don’t believe that she is qualified if she is, through her super PAC, taking tens of millions of dollars in special-interest funds,” he said.

Sexual assault continues to pose a challenge for both the military and institutions of higher education.

Amid an outcry over the prevalence of rape on campuses, colleges and universities have been directed by the government to do more to take assault reports seriously.

As of mid-March, the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights was conducting 219 investigations into the handling of sex assault cases at 173 schools.

• Friday, April 8, 2016

HARTFORD, Conn. – As the U.S. Air Force prepared to roll out a new sexual assault prevention strategy, it sent a delegation to Connecticut College, a small liberal arts school that introduced the same program several years earlier.

The visit last month – including conversations with students, athletic coaches and others – was the latest example of the military taking cues from colleges and universities to try to stem sexual assault, a problem that has been the target of crackdowns in recent years for both higher education and the armed forces.

As Congress stepped up pressure to curb rape in the military, Defense Department officials began visiting colleges around the U.S., taking notes on approaches that worked best. Some used theater-style instruction. Others emphasized small group conversations. The review helped to shape the military’s prevention strategy, published in 2014.

The scenarios used in college training sessions are often adapted to a military setting, with characters in uniform to help them resonate with

service members, said Nate Galbreath, the senior executive adviser for the Pentagon’s Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Office.

But there is significant overlap, given the large numbers of young people at the greatest risk for sexual assault, he said.

“They’re certainly analogous,” he said. “We’re dealing with people between the ages of 18 and 24. What research tells us is that people in this period have yet to actually become adults, at least as far as their brain structure goes.”

The Air Force visited Connecticut College in New London to get an upclose look at a campus that since 2010 has been using the Green Dot program, which stresses the role of each individual and peer influence in eliminating tolerance of violence. The Air Force is introducing the program at all installations across the service.

“This is a total force effort,” said Col. Mark Ramsey, a division chief for the Air Force sexual assault prevention office.

On the campus visit, Ramsey said, he was impressed to see the program’s teachings adopted by the entire campus, including men’s athletic teams.

ANOTHER VIEW

Sensible center?

Not Wisconsin Wisconsin mattered. The question is – as this long campaign season turns eastward – whether it will make any real difference in the eventual outcome.

That’s because this may be the strangest presidential political circus America has seen in several lifetimes. Nothing makes sense. By now ... well, usually before now ... both parties have settled on a nominee, and it becomes an orderly march to the conventions. Not this year.

If it wasn’t for the Republicans’ Weirdest Show on Earth, the Democrats’ Hold Your Nose for Hillary slog would be the story of the year.

Sen. Bernie Sanders, the 74-year-old democratic socialist from Vermont, now has captured five of the past six contests. If not for the party establishment rigging the game by handing Hillary Clinton hundreds of so-called “super delegates,” she would be in a virtual dead heat with Sanders.

Clinton may claim the nomination when it’s over, but at this stage, there does not seem to be much enthusiasm.

Then there’s the Republican slugfest. Sen. Ted Cruz won Wisconsin convincingly and crowed like he’d just locked up the nomination. Truth is, he still trails Donald Trump by a few hundred delegates. The campaign now shifts to New York and the Atlantic Northeast – in other words, Trump country.

Trump may not get to the required 1,237 delegates to lock up the nomination before the convention, but Cruz is even less likely to overtake the front-runner.

That seems to be the strategy. Deny Trump the necessary delegates and bet on a contested convention turning to Cruz. Meanwhile, John Kasich – arguably the best and most acceptable candidate for November – is relegated to coat-holder.

Trump, with his huckster style, has been the headline act, but it’s almost as interesting to witness the Republican establishment swallow hard, grit teeth and try to smile while embracing Cruz as the anti-Trump. That’s because everyone knows the party establishment loathes Cruz. If pundits had predicted a year ago that party regulars would be hoisting the Cruz banner, they’d have been laughed out of the room.

One thing that can be said with some certainty about the Wisconsin vote is this: All the polarization is still there, simmering hot. Republicans picked the most right-wing guy in the race. Democrats picked the most left-wing guy in the race.

If anyone had been holding out hope for the sensible center, forget it.

Obama’s sly dig at conservative decline

By FRANCIS WILKINSON Bloomberg View

You have to admire the multi-level trolling by President Barack Obama.

Obama spoke Thursday at the University of Chicago law school, where he taught in the 1990s, and gave an interview to Fox News.

The law school discussion was targeted at Republican Senate leader Mitch McConnell and his obstruction of Obama’s Supreme Court nomination. The interview is an assault on contemporary American conservatism.

The Supreme Court nomination of Merrick Garland is the proximate cause of Obama’s visit.

Obama, by returning to his old law school to discuss the court and constitutional law, isn’t content merely to kick Senate Republicans in the shins for their obstruction of the Garland nomination. In some respects, the Fox

News interview on the university’s campus is even more of a dig at opponents. It’s Obama’s first interview with “Fox News Sunday” since being elected president, and his first with the generally hostile network since 2014.

The setting is rich. The University of Chicago is a special place for conservatism. The free-market theorist Milton Friedman spent much of his career there, and the university became tightly associated with his ideas and other conservative offspring.

In addition, major 20th-century conservative thinkers are closely identified with the university. The late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, whom Garland has been nominated to replace, taught at the law school.

Obama’s setting for the Fox interview juxtaposes conservatism’s intellectually hefty past – Friedman, Strauss, Bellow,

Scalia – and its shallow, partisan present. Has there been a more powerful influence on conservative thought in the Obama era than Fox News? If the president wanted to make a sly commentary on the decline of the intellectual culture of the right, he hardly could do better.

Fox anchor Chris Wallace, of course, is many cuts above the average fare of his network, and Megyn Kelly has risen to prove herself a formidable TV journalist during this presidential campaign. But they are notable exceptions.

Conservatives, led by their preferred news network, have waged unrelenting war on Obama’s legitimacy. By inviting Fox into the imposing stone campus of the University of Chicago, and holding forth on the Supreme Court at the university’s famous law school, Obama is raising some pretty obvious questions about the legitimacy of his foes.

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

This year’s theme – Talk Early, Talk Often – focuses on how parents play a significant role in preventing and reducing the incidence of underage alcohol and drug use. Fostering healthy and responsible attitudes, talking openly and honestly, encouraging supportive relationships and showing teens their opinions and decisions matter are all ways to help prevent the use of alcohol and drugs.

One sun rose on us today, kindled over our shores, peeking over the Smokies, greeting the faces of the Great Lakes, spreading a simple truth across the Great Plains, then charging across the Rockies.

One light, waking up rooftops, under each one, a story told by our silent gestures moving behind windows.

My face, your face, millions of faces in morning’s mirrors, each one yawning to life, crescendoing into our day: pencil-yellow school buses, the rhythm of traffic lights, fruit stands: apples, limes, and oranges arrayed like rainbows begging our praise. Silver trucks heavy with oil or paper – bricks or milk, teeming over highways alongside us, on our way to clean tables, read ledgers, or save lives – to teach geometry, or ring-up groceries as my mother did for twenty years, so I could write this poem.

April is National Poetry Month, a 30-day celebration, inaugurated by the Academy of American Poets in 1996, to encourage all of us to think about poetry and poets in our culture.

At least once a year, someone asks me, “What is a poem anyway?” Every time I hear that question, I feel like a nun in “The Sound of Music,” trying to solve the problem of Maria. In other words, finding one definition for Maria or for a poem is like trying to catch a cloud and pin it down.

In fact, if you were to attend a poetry reading, you would have an eye- and ear-opening experience. I am reminded of the Cantina scene in “Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope,” where Luke and C-3PO walk into the bar and see diverse wild types hanging out there. A similar scene greets you at a poetry reading: No two poets look alike or deliver their poems with the same gusto. Some read from their phones; some read from papers or their own chapbooks. You will hear sonnets, villanelles, free verse, haikus, rants, Robert Service, Walt Whitman, protest poetry or Pablo Neruda read in Spanish. So, poetry defies strict definition; but, in general, if you have an emotional reaction or an “aha” moment, you have experienced a great poem.

One kind of poetry exhibits a consistent theme, however. It comes from the pens and mouths of poets who have been chosen to deliver their work at presidential inaugurations.

The poems, designed to appeal to a wide audience, provide a mostly optimistic journey across America, with an occasional unexpected line

CL manufacturer Vo-Tech moves location, doubles space

By STEPHEN Di BENEDETTO

sdibenedetto@shawmedia.com

CRYSTAL LAKE – The strategies that helped Vo-Tech, a midsized manufacturer in Crystal Lake, grow revenue during the past five years won’t change even though the company recently more than doubled its space.

A slow and steady approach has been the business mantra for Vo-Tech owner Wojciech Furman since the start of the decade.

Making machines and Wojciech tools for companies in var- Furman ious industries, Vo-Tech prefers to add a few new customers, invest in the equipment and manpower to handle the new projects, and then repeat the plan.

The company now can show something for the strategy.

Vo-Tech earlier this year moved to a 35,000-square-foot building along Mitchell Court in Crystal Lake that it bought for $2.2 million.

Before the move, employees were feeling cramped in the company’s old 14,000-square-foot building along Tek

Drive in the city, Furman said.

“We’ve been building revenue and customers. Sometimes, it just takes a long time before everything can mature,” he said. “We’ve been working on increasing production for the last five years. Finally now, this is the year where everything came together.”

With more room, VoTech already has expanded production to keep pace with reinvestments being made by its largest customer base – nuclear power plants.

The new building also is Mark Harper large enough that Vo-Tech can slowly and steadily add employees and expand capabilities years from now, Furman said.

The business employs 22 people, a 57 percent increase from the 14 people employed when operations manager Mark Harper started at Vo-Tech four years ago.

Nuclear power plants have contributed greatly to the company’s increased workload, as the industry reinvests in aging plants with new equipment being made by Vo-Tech.

“Their machine shops were outfitted

30, 40 years ago with all that equipment,” Harper said. “It’s aging and getting to the point where they were ready to revamp.”

Vo-Tech initially relied on nuclear power plants when the business started in 1997.

Furman, who emigrated from Poland to Chicago in the 1980s and later moved his family to Lake in the Hills, started the business after years of traveling around the U.S. doing service work for the industry.

To diversify the business, Furman eventually extended his machine and tool production to manufacturing companies in other industries.

Vo-Tech also provides engineering services to all its customers, including ones in health care, food and agriculture.

It provides custom machines and tools for numerous companies in McHenry County, such as Sage Products in Cary and Reina Imaging in Crystal Lake.

“I don’t think we ever thought we end up with this beautiful facility. My idea for this business was to be able to always do the right thing. Take care of our customers, take care of employees, serve the community – do whatever you can do, but do it right,” Furman said. “I think it’s paying off.”

The Associated Press CHRISTCHURCH, New Zealand – Glenn Martin was sitting in a bar with his college buddies 35 years ago when they got to wondering: What ever happened to flying cars and jetpacks?

The next day, the New Zealander began looking for answers in the science library, triggering a lifelong quest to build a jetpack. But today, with the company he created seemingly on the verge of triumph, Martin worries his dream is slipping away.

Martin Aircraft Co. said it will deliver its first experimental jetpacks to customers this year, a big development for the new technology. But the jetpack is being designed for first responders such as firefighters, an outcome that falls short of Martin’s vision of a recreational jetpack that anybody could fly.

The inventor has now left the company he founded. What’s more, he says, he’s asked for his name to be removed.

“All us guys know what a jetpack’s for,” he said with a smile at his Christchurch home. “With a jetpack, you save the world and you get the girl. Right?”

Jetpacks have often been portrayed that way in books and movies. They have formed part of humanity’s utopian future vision for the past century.

Fictional characters from Buck Rogers to Elroy Jetson have used them, and a real jetpack wowed the crowds at the opening of the 1984 Olympic Games in Los Angeles.

Martin, 56, grew up in the South Pacific, thousands of miles from Houston. But he followed the space race avidly.

“I still remember sitting in class and listening to Neil Armstrong step onto the moon,” he said. “And I believed, I suppose, that we would all have flying cars and jetpacks and bases on Mars by the

Storied though they may be, jetpacks have a troubled history. The Bell Aerospace rocket belt, developed in the 1960s, showed it was possible. However, that jetpack couldn’t carry much weight and could remain airborne for less than 30 seconds. It was for show, nothing more.

In the mid-1990s, three Houston men decided they’d try to make one. Instead, they made a mess. They fell out over money and their venture ended with an unsolved murder, an abduction, a man in jail and a device that had vanished.

Peter Coker, Martin Aircraft’s chief executive, said he believes the best business plan is to make jetpacks for first responders and later for other commercial operators.

Once all the supply chains are in place,

he said, the company can then turn its attention to building a personal jetpack.

“We are now an aviation company,” Coker said. “Before, it was very much the kiwi dream. But you have to take that commercial path.”

Glenn Martin’s vision still holds true, Coker said: Creating and selling a personal jetpack remains part of what the company is all about.

But Martin doubts the company will ever make one.

When he began his research, he wanted to improve on the Bell rocket belt and make a jetpack that could lift a solidly built guy like himself and a safety parachute, then stay airborne for at least 30 minutes. He decided to use ducted fans, making the word jetpack something of a misnomer.

Applications for jobless aid reach 267,000

By CHRISTOPHER S. RUGABER The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – Fewer Americans sought unemployment aid last week, evidence that employers are holding onto their workers despite signs of weak growth.

THE NUMBERS: Applications for U.S. jobless benefits fell 9,000 to a seasonally adjusted 267,000, the Labor Department said Thursday. The four-week average, a less-volatile figure, rose 3,500 to 266,750.

The number of people receiving benefits was mostly unchanged at 2.19 million.

The benefit rolls have fallen 6.5 percent in the past year.

Applications have been below 300,000

for 57 straight weeks, the longest streak since 1973.

THE TAKEAWAY: Applications are a proxy for layoffs, so the figures point to a stable job market with steady hiring and few job cuts. Businesses appear unfazed by the economy’s current weakness, with some analysts forecasting that growth may slip below a 1 percent annual rate in the first three months of this year.

That suggests many companies may see the slowdown as temporary. Hiring has remained solid, as employers added 215,000 jobs in March. The unemployment rate ticked up to 5 percent, from 4.9 percent, but for mostly a good reason: Many people who hadn’t been searching for work launched job hunts last month.

Most found jobs, but not all were immediately hired. That boosted the number of unemployed.

KEY DRIVERS: The steady job gains have continued despite evidence growth is slowing. Americans barely increased their spending in February for the third straight month. Home sales have leveled off. And orders for manufactured goods fell last month, partly because of weaker overseas demand.

Growth was just 1.4 percent at an annual rate in last year’s fourth quarter, and may have slowed further in the first quarter. Yet many economists expect ongoing job gains and lower prices at the gas pump to lift consumer spending in the coming months and boost growth.

THINGS

WORTH TALKIN’ ABOUT FRIDAY, APRIL 8, 2016

NEW YORK – Tony- and Grammy-winner Heather Headley will replace Jennifer Hudson in Broadway’s current revival of “The Color Purple.” Hudson, who plays Shug Avery in the musical, will play her last performance on May 8. Headley takes over two days later at the Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre.

Headley’s credits include “The Lion King” and playing the diva in “The Bodyguard” musical in London. Her CDs include “This Is Who I Am,” “Audience of One” and “Only One In The World.” The musical is a stage version of Alice Walker’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel set in rural Georgia that covers a lifetime of events observed by Celie, a homely, uneducated farm woman whose dreams are repeatedly shattered by the cruelty of males.

Trent Harmon (left) and La’Porsha Renae appear at the “American Idol” farewell season finale Thursday at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles.

‘American Idol’ crowns 15th and final winner as TV show ends LOS ANGELES – The first “American Idol” finale in 2002 was a battle of the sexes, with Kelly Clarkson the victor over Justin Guarini. The last contest settled the score as Trent Harmon defeated La’Porsha Renae for the crown.

Harmon tumbled to the stage in surprise as host Ryan Seacrest announced him as the 15th and final winner of “American Idol,” which ended its remarkable run Thursday.

“I know that I have a God-given ability, but I didn’t want to take it for granted. I wanted to work so, so hard, and she pushed me to do it,” a tearful Harmon said of Renae, who stood poised and smiling by his side.

Harmon, 24, who described himself as just a “dude from Mississippi,” waited tables at his family’s restaurant in Amory before trying out for “American Idol.”

He won viewers over with his supple vocals and increasingly assured stage presence, and they voted him into history as the show’s last champion. Harmon earned a record contract along with the honor.

Renae, 22, also from Mississippi, the town of McComb, is a single mom who inspired viewers with her triumph over domestic abuse as well as a richly powerful voice.

On Wednesday’s “Idol,” Renae invoked Clarkson’s name as the inaugural winner and good-naturedly vowed that “a woman started it and a woman’s goin’ finish it.”

“American Idol,” once a ratings powerhouse that influenced TV and music, had suffered steady audience erosion before Fox decided it would end this season.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. – Charlize Theron, Seth Rogen and Selena Gomez were among the stars who brought thousands of Los Angeles-area school kids to their feet Thursday at California’s inaugural WE Day celebration.

The educational event drew 16,000 local students to the Forum in Inglewood, California, for a day of inspirational speeches and celebrity appearances. Students earned admission to the WE Day event by participating in yearlong community service projects with their schools.

Theron challenged the students to become the generation that ends AIDS. Rogen shared how a lack of resources for Alzheimer’s disease inspired him, a self-described “lazy man-child,” to start his own charitable organization. Zooey Deschanel and the cast of TV’s “New Girl” encouraged the students to participate in a group hug.

Demi Lovato roused the audience with a performance of her new song, “Stone Cold.” Gomez, Henry Winkler, Martin Sheen, Joe Jonas, Hollywood couple Nikki Reed and Ian Somerholder, Joe Jonas, Amanda Stenberg and Paula Abdul were among other entertainers who appeared on stage before the lunch break. Big Sean, Tyrese Gibson and Kermit the Frog also were set to address the students, who

represent 550 California schools.

Highlights from the program will air as a TV special Aug. 28 on ABC.

John Oliver sends more ‘riff-raff’ to Yankee Stadium NEW YORK – John Oliver has put more “riffraff” in the premium seats at Yankee Stadium.

Two young women dressed in unicorn costumes and two others in shark costumes sat in the second row behind home plate Wednesday night, the latest fans to win high-priced tickets for 25 cents apiece from HBO’s “Last Week Tonight with John Oliver” after promising to dress like “riff-raff” at the ballpark.

Oliver is looking to shake up things during New York’s season-opening series this week against Houston. Claiming the Yankees are elitist, the comedian is selling premium seats for a quarter to fans who pledge to dress as if they don’t belong. Two male fans wore yellow and green Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles outfits in the Legends Suites luxury seats at Tuesday’s game.

After the Yankees announced that fans no longer could print tickets at home, chief operating officer Lonn Trost explained on radio station WFAN in February that someone buying a discounted ticket from a resale service “may be someone who has never sat in a premium location, so that’s a frustration to our existing fan base.”

You have spent hours researching your upcoming overseas. The thing you are still unsure about is using the country’s currency. Should you exchange it before you leave or do it when you arrive in the country?

The first thing you will want to do is to find out which currency is used in the country you will be visiting. The exchange rate can change daily so you will also want to check the exchange rate for converting dollars into the foreign currency. It is possible to purchase the foreign currency before you leave for your trip through a bank or currency exchange bureau.

This might not be a cost effective way because of commission fees but it can provide the traveler the convenience of already having the currency upon

arrival. The best option is to use an ATM using your debit card upon arrival of your destination to obtain the foreign currency. If you need to exchange dollars or traveler’s checks abroad, try to avoid using hotels and exchange kiosks will almost always offer the worse exchange rates.

The following are more tips for using foreign currency. Travelers should familiarize themselves with foreign coins and bills before appearing in public with them. Coins can become worthless when you leave a country so spend them change them into bills, or give them away. Or you can bring them home with you as souvenirs of your travel.

LOS ANGELES – The dust has barely settled from “Star Wars: The Force Awakens,” but audiences already have a new installment to get excited for.

The world got a glimpse of “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story” in a teaser trailer that debuted Thursday on “Good Morning America” and quickly became a top trending topic on Twitter. The movie looks back to the events before 1977’s “A New Hope,” introducing the ragtag rebels who unite to steal plans for the Death Star.

One of them is Felicity Jones from “The Theory of Everything,” whose blaster-wielding character Jyn Erso is featured prominently in the spot as she’s tasked with the dangerous mission. The film is directed by Gareth Edwards, best known for the 2014 reboot of “Godzilla.”

“Rogue One,” which hits theaters on Dec. 16, also stars Diego Luna, Forest Whitaker, Ben Mendelsohn and martial arts star Donnie Yen. In the world of “Rogue One,” Edwards said at a fan event last year, the “absence of Jedi is omnipresent.” The characters in the film realize that the “gods are not coming to save us,” he said. “It comes down to a group of people who don’t

PARENTING

The Buddy system

10-year-old introduces Buddy Bench so kids don’t have to be lonely at recess

By COLBY ITKOWITZ The Washington Post

It’s been three years now since 10-year-old Christian Bucks thought his family was moving to Germany for his dad’s job and his mom showed him brochures about his potential new schools.

He would be the new kid there. The one without anyone to play with in the schoolyard. He was just in first grade then, but he knew what loneliness on the playground looked like. He’d seen it at his own elementary school in York, Pennsylvania.

But one German school he and his mom looked at had a solution for this.

It was called the Buddy Bench, and if a child was sitting on it alone, it was a signal to the other kids to ask him or her to play.

Christian’s family never did move to Germany, but the little boy is credited with introducing Buddy Benches to America.

He brought the idea to his principal, Matthew Miller, and the two immediately set out to install a Buddy Bench at Roundtown Elementary.

Their project was covered by the local newspaper and went viral. Since then, the two have been featured in national news and gave a joint TedTalk in February 2014. Christian has been invited to schools as far away as Los Angeles and Honolulu to help them unveil their own Buddy Benches. There are an estimated 2,000 schools with benches across the United States now and in about a dozen other countries, Miller said.

“I didn’t like to see kids lonely at recess when everyone is just playing with their friends,” Christian said in a phone interview.

Christian’s mom, Alyson Bucks, said her son always had been empathetic.

“He’s always looking out for the person who might need a little help,” she said.

For a kid with no one to play with, there may be no lonelier place than the school playground. And kids with an established group of friends may not think to seek out those who feel excluded.

Loneliness among young children is very common. One 2004 study in London found 80 percent of the kids between 8 and 10 years who were interviewed described being lonely at some point at school.

And it’s also common for children

Principal Matthew Miller and Christian Bucks pose with a buddy bench; if a kid is lonely at recess, the bench provides a signal to others to ask them to play. to go off by themselves when they’re feeling sad, and what they really need is for someone to notice. The benches give children a safe, nonjudgmental place to retreat. Once a child is asked off the bench to come play, the hope is they’ll have the confidence to go play with their new friends again the next day.

Emails poured in from all over the country when Christian’s Buddy Bench story was picked up by the “Today Show” and the Huffington Post in late 2013.

One second-grader from Los Angeles wrote to Miller, “I have had a hard time making friends on the playground so I am going to use a Buddy Bench at our school.” Like Christian, he met with his principal and his school installed one.

Christian and his mom flew across the country for its unveiling.

Only a week or so after Christian’s Buddy Bench story went viral, the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary in

Newtown, Connecticut., happened.

As the principal of an elementary school, Miller was devastated. The Buddy Bench, and the inspiration it spurred, was a timely uplift.

“It was one little boy’s idea, and it really resonated with people,” Miller said.

“It gave me hope at a time when I was feeling really down and out after what happened. And here comes Christian with this idea, and I thought, ‘We’re going to be OK.’ ” In fact, in February 2014, Christian and Miller visited Newtown, where Christian was awarded the Charlotte Bacon Act of Kindness Award, named after one of the little girls who was killed.

There still are new Buddy Benches popping up on school playgrounds around the globe.

Just a few weeks ago, a new elementary school in Saskatoon, Canada, installed two bright green benches on

its playground with plaques indicating them as Buddy Benches.

“It really helps build a positive school climate,” said Shane Armstrong, Saskatoon’s Willowgrove Elementary School principal. “If kids aren’t sure what to do or what their options are, they can go hang out there. ... [Then] other kids can go invite that kid to join them in whatever they are doing.”

Christian, who enjoys swimming and playing soccer like any other kid when he’s not changing the world, said he thought the benches would just be something the German school and his own would have.

That’s why when he travels to schools and conferences for Buddy Bench speeches, he always ends them this way: “Amazing things happen when you share your hopes and dreams,” he said, “and you may end up helping more people than you can ever imagine.”

A conversation with Heather Shumaker:

The Associated Press

AP: Can you talk about the gap between what we, as adults, know about kids and what we actually DO about kids?

Shumaker: We know a lot more about

AP: You talk about the importance of parents taking off their “adult lenses.” Can you explain what you mean by that?

Shumaker: We’re very good at adult brain development and the value of play

than we ever have before, and yet we’re kind of doing the opposite. Back when I was a kid, we didn’t know much about brain development but we trusted kids more, so we were willing to trust their play.

If it involved toy weapons, we were willing to go with it.

Now, we know a lot more about the benefits of free play, the benefits of movement and how that affects learning, the benefits of big-body play – running around, bicycling, yelling, wrestling, but I think there’s a culture of fear and kind of a culture of, our kids are going to fall behind and we have to hurry them up. ... Parents wonder why their first grader gets stomachaches, or

amnesia, forgetting what it’s really like to be a kid. So if a kid doesn’t do what she’s told in the kindergarten circle time, she’s labeled as defiant. You know, they’re not going to fit into society, they’re going to become that loner that causes problems and ends up being in the news.

We really leap to a lot of conclusions, but a kid doesn’t have to do what the group’s doing so long as their actions don’t disrupt the group. Adults sometimes need to let kids do what they do.

AP: You take on a lot of the hot buttons in parenting and education, but tell us what you mean by “renegade sharing,” especially in a school setting?

Shumaker: A lot of adults will set a

timer, say five minutes and then it’s Joey’s turn, or just take a toy out of a child’s hands and say, you’ve had this long enough, now be nice and share with your friend.

This makes the kid feel rotten. We’re doing it to encourage generosity and

AP: Another one of your topics is the idea of sharing “sad stories” with kids. At what age, to what degree?

Shumaker: A lot of story books for

children are being sanitized, where the gingerbread boy does not get eaten by a fox anymore. They sit down and they’re friends. This doesn’t seem satisfying to kids. They know something’s not quite right. Adults are scared of those feelings. They want to spare kids sorrow, all those difficult feelings – fear, anger.

They want this generation to be where everybody is peaceful and friendly.

The perfect generation. But that’s not reality. They feel these feelings anyway and they need to have that reflected in stories around them. ... If a child is old enough to ask about sad things, she’s old enough to get an honest answer.

awareness of others and all those good things but it actually backfires and delays that development of generosity.

What you want is for a kid to share when you’re not looking, because it feels good and they want to internally.

That happens when they have some control and when they feel that rush of good feelings. ... Now, kids learn really early to say, ‘She’s not sharing,’ in that whiny voice, and they know that means instant gratification and adults will swoop in.

NEW YORK – Homework? Ban it!

Circle time? It’s not for every kindergartner. Forced sharing? How about letting a kid play with a toy until she’s done?

Those are just a few of the ideas Heather Shumaker advocates as “renegade” in a new book, “It’s OK to Go Up the Slide,” an extension of her first parenting guide, “It’s OK Not to Share.”

Shumaker is the mom of two boys, ages 11 and 8, in Traverse City, Michigan. As a youngster, she was a student where her mother taught for 40 years in Columbus, Ohio, the unorthodox School for Young Children. Free, unstructured play was encouraged, and teachers did things such as providing boxing gloves to encourage children to learn how to navigate rough-and-tumble play on their own terms.

“Children who come out of that program are unusually skilled in conflict mediation and coping with their emotions,” said Shumaker, who is 48.

The new book by TarcherPerigee, a division of Penguin Random House, extends her outlook from very young children she focused on the first time around through the middle school years.

why they’re always crying and saying they don’t like school when they have to do their homework.

Options for knee replacement Dear Dr. K: I am going to have my knee replaced. What types of artificial knee joints are available?

Dear Reader: The knee is a joint formed by the bottom end of the thigh bone and the top ends of two bones of the lower leg. When the ends of the bones that form the joint become damaged, they can be removed and replaced. That’s total knee replacement, and it is major surgery.

The damaged parts of the bones that form your knee joint are replaced with an artificial material that is shaped like your bones should be. That will allow your knee to again do all the things it needs to do: bend, twist and bear your weight. The artificial material will be attached to the healthy bone above and below it.

Once you have decided to have a total knee replacement, your surgeon may discuss with you several choices. One choice the surgeon needs to make is which artificial material to use for your new knee.

Options include different combinations of hard polished metal, hard ceramic and tough, slick plastic: • Metal-on-metal. These implants were developed to last longer than other implants. But metal-on-metal implants may cause inflammation and pain. Worse, they may shed harmful microscopic bits of metal into the bloodstream.

• Polyethylene. The major drawback to this type of plastic material has been wear.

Tiny pieces of the plastic flake off, provoking the immune system cells in the bone to which the plastic has been attached. Turning on the immune system cells produces substances that weaken bone tissue. As a result, the implant pulls away from the bone and has to be replaced. Manufacturers have modified the plastic to make “crosslinked” polyethylene. The newer materials may be more wear-resistant.

SUDOKU

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff • Ceramic-on-ceramic. The use of very hard ceramic material in place of some metal parts is another option. So far, ceramic-on-ceramic appears to cause significantly less bone deterioration than metal or polyethylene implants.

You and your surgeon also will have a choice of cemented or cementless implants.

Most total knee replacements today are done with cement. They use acrylic cement to quickly glue the implant to the healthy bone above and below it.

Cementless implants have surfaces with small holes in them. The healthy bone grows into the implant to form a solid attachment, and no cement (glue) is required.

Despite early hopes, cementless implants have not proven to be more durable than cemented implants. There also is a “hybrid” option that uses a combination of cemented and cementless attachments.

Another decision is between a fixed-bearing or rotating knee platform. A fixed-bearing knee prosthesis is the most common type. In a rotating platform prosthesis, the polyethylene insert can rotate slightly. This allows for better movement and reduced stress and wear.

The best implant design for you will depend on many factors, including your weight, bone quality, age, occupation and activity level. The surgeon’s experience with a particular model or brand often enters into the decision, too.

Dear Abby: DEAR ABBY I need some advice about Jeanne quitting smokPhillips ing. I am the father of an only child and husband to a wonderful wife. But for some reason, I have not been able to find the motivation to quit. I know smoking is bad for my health, and I don’t want to endanger my child’s health any longer.

I have tried the gum, the patch and even prescription meds. My willpower just isn’t strong and I can’t quit, no matter what I try.

I need the right inspiration. Can you help me stop this nasty habit? – Sick Of It In Missouri Dear Sick Of It: I’ll try. As a former smoker, I’ll share what worked for me. Cold turkey.

First, clean house. Get rid of all the cigarettes you have stashed at home, in your car and at your workplace. Yes, even the pack you “forgot” in your jacket pocket.

Realize your body is saturated with nicotine, and it must be flushed out. Drinking lots of water for the first month will help you accomplish that.

Then, choose one day when you will go entirely smoke-free. Understand going in you will crave your “fix.” When that craving hits, if you must put something in your mouth, chew (non-nicotine) gum, go brush your teeth or eat a crunchy vegetable (carrot sticks, celery). If you can manage to do this for just one day, you can do it for another one. And then another, etc.

Accept you are an addict and your “sobriety” is something you will have to cling to with determination. Eventually the impulse to grab a cigarette will fade, but every now and then you may have an urge to smoke that comes out of left field. When that happens, get up and walk out of the room. By the time you return, the urge will have subsided. Mine did.

And one more thing – if you fall off the wagon (and you might), think about watching your child graduate from high school or college, getting married and playing with your grandchildren. Your chances of doing those things will be better if you’re not a smoker.

Then get back on that wagon and start over again.

That’s how I quit, and the third time I did it, it worked. (Clearly, I do not have willpower of cast iron.) If I can do it, believe me, so can you. Please write again in six months and let me know you’re tobacco-free, too. I’m rooting for you.

Dear Abby: Can you really learn to love someone you don’t find physically attractive?

– Twitter Fan Of Abby Dear Twitter Fan: You might learn to love the person for his or her finer qualities, but I don’t think you can “learn” to find someone physically attractive if the chemistry simply isn’t there.

207 S. Fleming Rd. Jacoby Jones, who has played football for the Houston Texans and Baltimore Ravens, commented, “I say my greatest strength is my speed, and I think that I could use some work on my concentration.”

Good bridge players go very slowly at trick one and concentrate on the cards. Today, though, we are more interested in Jones’ first name: Jacoby.

Oswald Jacoby, one of the all-time great bridge players, devised his eponymous Transfers (which we studied earlier this week) and the Forcing Raise (today’s topic). If partner opens one of a major, the next player passes, and responder bids two no-trump, he shows at least game-forcing values with four or more trumps.

In textbook Jacoby Forcing Raise, the opener’s rebids are strange; they are available on the Internet. But you can Keep It Simple, Sensible, by making natural rebids, or, as South does here, jumping to game with a minimum.

How should South play in four spades after West leads the heart nine?

On a bad day, declarer might lose one spade, two hearts and one club.

Before he plays from the dummy at trick one, he concentrates on the lead. Since a nine is top of nothing, East has the heart ace-jack. To freeze out that suit, South must call for dummy’s queen. East wins with his ace, but cannot return the suit without sacrificing a trick there.

Suppose East shifts to a club.

West wins and leads the heart eight, but South takes the trick, draws two rounds of trumps, then plays off dummy’s club winners to discard his heart loser.

Petersen, Trojans take down Tigers

By TIM SIECK

sports@nwherald.com CRYSTAL LAKE – Whenever the Cary-Grove girls soccer team has a quality scoring chance, it seems like forward Carli Petersen is right in the middle of it. Petersen once again had a hand in four of the Trojans’ five goals Thursday, mainly as facilitator, to help lead C-G to a 5-0 victory over Crystal Lake Central at Crystal Lake Central High School.

“We do a great job of working together as a team, and my teammates gave me some great chances to put the ball on goal today,” Petersen said. “We had a really tough battle with Central when we played last season, so it was great to get that early goal.”

The Trojans (3-1) showed little rust Thursday, even though they hadn’t played in a week. C-G was able to get on the board just 1:34 in when Petersen found Genna Sobieszczyk for her first of two goals.

“Carli gave me a perfect feed, and it gave me a wide open net and I was able to put it in the back of the net,” Sobieszczyk said.

C-G would score two more times before halftime on Petersen’s third goal of the season, and a late first-half goal by midfielder Natalie Bethers. The score could have been a lot higher for the Trojans, but Central keeper Bridget King was able to make some big saves. King finished with nine saves.

Central (1-3) didn’t have a ton of scoring chances, but had its best one with 16 minutes remaining in the first half, when senior Emily Basile put it just over the crossbar. For Tigers coach Jay Schwarzrock, Thursday showed a lot of improvement for his young squad.

“We played a lot better today than

We play so well at times, but still keep making that one bad pass which always seems to come back and hurt us. This was our first game with our normal lineup, and I am excited to see where we can go from here.”

The Trojans scored twice in the second half on goals by Alex Airhart and Sobieszczyk. Miranda Malone earned the shutout for C-G and finished with five saves.

“That quick goal really took a lot of the pressure off for us,” C-G coach Ray Krystal said. “We are still in a feelingit-out process as we are getting some players back from injuries and spring break, but I was happy with how we played today.”

Vickers ready for 3 in a row, Stewart still no timetable

FORT WORTH, Texas – Brian Vickers is getting ready for his third consecutive race filling in for injured Tony Stewart, who still has no timetable for his return.

Stewart said Thursday he is anxious to get scans on his back at the end of this month to get an idea of when he might be able to make his debut in what is set to be his last season as a full-time driver.

“It’s driving me crazy wanting to see what it looks like and then to listen to the diagnosis of when they think they’re

For Vickers, there still could be more NASCAR Sprint Cup Series races for Stewart-Haas Racing and maybe a ride in the 100th Indianapolis 500.

Prairie Ridge (6-4 overall, 1-0 FVC Fox Division) backed up Tieman with nine hits. Robin Kim was 3 for 3 and Hunter Martin hit a solo home run in the fifth inning.

“As a team, we were attacking fastballs early,” Kim said. “We’ve been struggling with that a lot. It was good to come out and take aggressive

hacks.”

McHenry (6-3, 0-1 FVC Valley) could not get solid swings at Tieman, who was adeptly locating his fastball.

“He got ahead, hit spots, didn’t give us any free ones,” Warriors coach Brian Rockweiler said. “He was ahead of us all day. It seemed like we were always behind in the count. It’s tough to hit when you’re always behind.”

Tieman moved to 2-0 and got the defending FVC Fox champs off to a good start.

“I just wanted to get the ball back from the catcher and pitch as fast as I could,” said Tieman, a third-year varsity pitcher. “When you’re in a zone you just want to go, and it felt really good today.”

When to change your car battery SPONSORED BY

By C.R. Walker There’s never a good time for your car’s battery to die.

Of course, on the side of the highway in the middle of the night or seemingly in the middle of nowhere on a deserted country road would be some of the worst times.

Most experts agree that the life expectancy of your vehicle’s battery will be anywhere between four to six years. Your driving habits, the weather conditions you regularly drive in and the type of vehicle you drive will all play a factor on whether your battery dies prematurely or lasts beyond six years.

While you certainly can maintain a log of vehicle maintenance, you still could easily forget the age of your battery. That’s no cause for concern though because you can have your auto shop, such as Gary Lang Auto Group, test your battery during

your next visit.

Gary Lang Auto Group advises car owners to abide by the manual first, but to also pay attention to any signs that the battery is losing capacity, which means that it’s holding less charge. Over time, it can drop so low that your vehicle won’t start.

There are several signs that you should not ignore. The slow engine crank cannot be missed. If you’re encountering a sluggish start, it’s time for a new battery.

The check engine light and low battery fluid levels are other possible signs, as are battery leaks and a bloated-looking battery case.

Finally, as mentioned earlier, batteries last a long time, but they don’t last forever.

Once your battery turns three years old, be aware of some of the signs of old age.

Keep in mind, that car batteries are inexpensive, but they cannot be neglected either. After all, your car’s battery is the most important component of the electrical system. Without it functioning, you’re not driving.

McHENRY – Prairie Ridge has grown accustomed to seeing pitcher Jon Tieman take control on the mound, but even by Tieman standards Thursday’s performance was special.

The 6-foot-1 senior right-hander threw 80 pitches, 65 of which were strikes, and faced one more than the minimum as the Wolves defeated McHenry, 5-0, in a Fox Valley Conference crossover baseball game at Petersen Park.

The Warriors had Hunter Martin three baserunners for the entire game and Tieman picked the first two off of first base. He finished with a two-hitter and six strikeouts.

“It was definitely a run game to pitch,” said Tieman, who will pitch next season at Valparaiso. “I felt like I was very on today. [Catcher] Connor [Harrell] was setting up well and caught a really good game, and our defense played well too. I knew my pitch count was low, so I just kept trying to

Prairie Ridge beats McHenry in muddy Fox Valley crossover

By JOHN WILKINSON

jwilkinson@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – Prairie Ridge already had the home field advantage Thursday against McHenry, but the muddy field conditions, while difficult on the players’ legs and their jerseys, allowed the Wolves to play to some of their strengths.

“We really tried to stay out of the middle, obviously the middle was probably the worst part of the field,” Wolves senior captain Megan Walsh said. “So we went outside trying to get some crosses, it’s always been like our specialty so we just tried to execute that today.”

The Wolves beat McHenry, 3-0, in a Fox Valley Conference crossover game Thursday at Prairie Ridge.

Walsh, Alexis Petersen and Jessica Dwyer scored for the Wolves (3-1) with all three goals created from out on the wings or corner kicks.

Walsh opened the scoring midway through the first half. Hanna Stovall drove down the left side and struck a shot which was stopped by McHenry goalkeeper Samantha Swank, but Walsh was there to drive in the rebound at the back post.

“It’s a big deal, especially playing a team that’s so close to home, a rivalry of ours,” Walsh said of getting the opening goal. “Once we get the first goal, it’s easy for us to keep scoring after that.”

The Wolves didn’t score again in the first half, leading 1-0 at the break, but doubled their advantage shortly after.

Less than three minutes into the second half, Jena Berkland played a ball in from the right corner and Petersen charged through it with a powerful header at the near post.

“I think we realized that we needed to use the corners a lot because their defense left those open easily,” Berk-

“Anderson Park is an exceptional player.

Cary-Grove shuts out Barrington

By ALEX KANTECKI

akantecki@shawmedia.com CARY – Cary-Grove’s Tom Neilson is fully aware his fastball won’t blow away opposing hitters.

“I’m not going to strike out a lot of guys with my fastball. I don’t throw very hard,” the 5-foot-11, 233-pound lefthander said after facing Barrington in his third start of the season.

Neilson only recorded one strikeout Thursday, but the junior pitcher worked quickly and often had the Broncos guessing in a complete-game shutout, holding Barrington to just four hits as C-G ran away with a 10-0 win in five innings.

Neilson needed just 76 pitches to record 15 outs after teammate Danny Schmidt tossed a perfect game with 10 strikeouts against Woodstock on Tuesday. The contrasting styles had the same result, however, and the Trojans (6-4) picked up Tom Neilson their third consecutive win after starting the season 3-4.

“I was just focused on throwing my pitches for strikes today,” said Neilson, who had not made it past four innings in his first two starts. “My changeup was working really good with the wind, too, so it just moved a lot. I was trying to keep (the ball) down more.”

The Trojans scored seven runs in the second inning on three hits, three walks and two errors, giving Neilson a comfortable lead to work with. He stranded eight runners and was helped out a few times by running catches in the outfield.

Quinn Celske ran down two line drives in center field, Collin Walsh made every grab in left, and right fielder Matt McCumber robbed Barrington’s Zack Balogh of extra bases on a tailing fly ball.

Trojans coach Don Sutherland credited his players for grinding out at-bats, especially in the second inning, in cold and windy conditions. Sutherland has seen his offense mature and become more patient in recent games (CaryGrove drew five walks against Barrington’s Ryan Loutos).

“In the beginning of the year, I was

concerned about the lack of varsity experience we had back at the plate, and I thought we had trouble scoring early in the season,” Sutherland said. “I’m glad the kids are swinging at better pitches earlier in the count and getting balls in play. When you do that, you get big innings.”

The Trojans only had three hits in the seven-run second, but had the first six batters reach base. Tyler Pennington laced a two-run triple to right-center field to give C-G a 6-0 lead, and Mark Smith drove in the seventh run with a single to centerfield. The Trojans sent 11 to the plate.

In the fifth, Nick Kirk had an RBI double, and a groundball to second base off the bat of Celske drove in Ben Baruth for the 10th run to end the game.

“We definitely had great at-bats up and down the lineup,” said Pennington, who had two RBIs and one run. “We executed well. We put a couple of bunts down, and moved some runners. It was good to put some good at-bats together and get some hits. Hitting is fun, you know?”

Kirk reached base all three times for the Trojans, scoring twice, driving in one and adding a steal. McCumber and Baruth each scored twice and drove in one.

RICHMOND – After scoring just one goal and being outscored by nine in their first two games of the season, the Richmond-Burton girls soccer team has waited patiently for its offense to break out.

“That was a really big thing we’ve been trying to focus on,” Rockets midfielder Halley Havlicek said.

“First couple of games, we couldn’t find that momentum and I think this week, these two games, we’ve been starting to build up progress and find that offensive mindset.”

The Rockets scored six in their shutout win Tuesday over North Boone and, on Thursday night, they dominated possession time and scored a goal in each half to defeat Marengo, 2-0, in a Big Northern Conference East Division contest at Richmond-Burton High School.

“I think it was a big part of getting the result. Bu for us, as a club, we needed it,” Rockets coach Casey DeCaluwe said. “We’ve had some games where we didn’t get results and we

didn’t play very well at all. So, finally getting outside for a whole week, finding possession, was a big thing we needed to do. I thought we did a great job with that.”

Vasseur got an assist on the Rockets’ first goal after she hustled to prevent a ball from going over the end line and then set up Elizabeth Wertz with a nice pass in front of the Marengo goal.

q AND ANOTHER THING ...

Indians coach Jeremy Burke on team’s improvement after starting 1-6: “Each game, our goal has been to move together and move forward as a team to get better each day. We finally are starting to accomplish that as we continue to play.”

egy, the Rockets added to their lead early in the second half.

Following a lofted ball from the left side, midfielder Halley Havlicek corralled a pass just outside the box.

In one swift motion, Havlicek hooked a shot with her left foot 20 yards into the top-left corner.

“I saw the ball going wide and I know Liz (Wertz) is always out there protecting [the ball],” Havlicek said. “…I kinda just looked up, saw the corner and put it in the back of the net.”

The Indians (1-6, 0-5 BNC East) had more success reaching the Rockets’ end of the field in the second half and attempted two of its three shots, but none of which posed a major threat for Rockets goalkeeper Lindsy Restis. Restis made three saves.

“They controlled the ball really well,” Indians coach Jeremy Burke said. “They played the ball insideand-out very well. They kept us on our toes, but I thought our defense adjusted well to their movement and passing, and we tried to keep as many clean shots on goal as possible.”

Warriors drop lopsided match to Barbs

By JOHN GALLIONE

sports@nwherald.com DeKALB – The DeKalb girls badminton team opened with a 5-0 sweep in doubles against McHenry before beating the Warriors, 14-1.

For McHenry (2-4), this was a measuring stick to see what the Warriors can improve upon as a program. Amber Mecure, a junior in her second year with varsity, lost an early lead Thursday to DeKalb’s Alyssa Wagner.

“I usually take losses as a learning experience, so I know what I can improve upon,” Mecure said. “I need to work on my footwork and getting back to the middle of the court to play the next hit.”

McHenry coach Christine Santosdiaz shared some of Mecure’s sentiments.

“I think that a lot of our girls get themselves into a good position, but can’t quite finish mentally,” Santosdiaz said. “When we get into a match that is 19-19 in the third game, it is

“I think that a lot of our girls get themselves into a good position, but can’t quite finish mentally. When we get into a match that is 19-19 in the third game, it is usually about who wants it more. My girls want it, but we need to work on fundamentals both physically and mentally. Footwork is key in those situations.”

usually about who wants it more. My girls want it, but we need to work on fundamentals both physically and mentally. Footwork is key in those situations.”

DeKalb coach Duane Cowley was pleased with his team’s performance.

“I am thrilled,” Cowley said. “I only asked them for 11. Alyssa [Wagner] said we’d get 12. We had a good week of practice and we are in good spirits after today. This is how we wanted to feel going into our tournament this weekend.”

Leading the way for the Barbs (23) was Wagner, who took her match 2-0 even after falling behind 15-13 to Mecure.

Even with a nagging injury to her shoulder, Wagner was aggressive in both games.

“When I see an opportunity, I go for a smash,” Wagner said. “It is fun for me to play aggressively and play with power and authority.”

DeKalb and McHenry both will be playing in York High School’s tournament Saturday in Elmhurst.

With the wind at their backs, the Rockets (2-2, 2-1 BNC East) spent most of the first half on the Indians’ side of the field.

Defender Elizabeth Wertz opened the scoring in the 16th minute after midfielder Meghan Vasseur, chased down a loose ball near the Indians’ end line.

Vasseur turned around and found Wertz with a pass to the middle of the Indians’ goal box that led to Wertz’s shot beating Indians goalkeeper Maddie Hoey (nine saves) to the bottom left side of the net.

DeCaluwe said he liked the aggressive approach his offense took, pointing out the growing confidence they’ve started playing with.

“It’s that final ball and our girls finding confidence in the box, and I think that’ll come with time,” said DeCaluwe, whose offense fired 15 total shots towards the Indians’ net.

“I’m hoping the floodgates will open at some time.”

Hoping to find an open body, the Rockets took every opportunity they could to launch the ball to the center of the box. As a result of this strat-

dvanschouwen@suntimes.com

OAKLAND, Calif. – Adam Eaton had two more hits in the White Sox’ 6-1 victory on Thursday, giving him nine for the season and making him the first player to open a season with four straight multihit games since Nellie Fox in 1955.

Eaton singled in the ninth inning, when the Sox broke open a 2-0 game. They went on to defeat the Oakland A’s, 6-1, and take three of four Adam Eaton games.

“It was good just to add on,” Eaton said. “The last two years we would have settled for two runs and bit our nails in the ninth inning. It’s good to let the bullpen breathe easy.”

Closer David Robertson, who closed the Sox’ first two wins, was warming up in the ninth but was able to sit back down. Zach Putnam finished up.

“What’s going on in here is special,” Eaton said. “We have some really good guys, guys who are having fun. You can feel it in here. A lot of guys getting along, and you’re excited to come to the ballpark. Proof is in the pudding taking three out of four and now we get to go home and play in front of the home fans.”

Eaton’s poor start contributed to the Sox’ poor start in 2015. He has had a multi-hit game in each of the first four, and has reached base in 26 consecutive games dating to last season.

Eaton saw his average dip from .300 in his first season with the Sox in 2014 to .287 last season.

He is batting .638 through four games this season.

OAKLAND, Calif. – Mat Latos gave up one hit over six shutout innings for his first win since last July, Jose Abreu hit a two-run homer and the White Sox beat the Oakland Athletics, 6-1, on Thursday to give manager Robin Ventura his 300th career win.

A free agent who struggled this spring after signing with the Sox in the offseason, Latos (1-0) was stellar in his debut while striking out two and walking one. He retired 13 of the first 14 batters and didn’t allow a baserunner until Chris Coghlan’s one-out single in the fifth – one pitch after left fielder J.B. Shuck dropped Coghlan’s foul ball.

Abreu homered on a 1-1 pitch from Oakland starter Kendall Graveman in the sixth. The White Sox slugger added a sacrifice fly during the Sox’s four-run ninth.

It’s been a good start to the season for the Sox, who outscored the A’s, 16-10, while taking three of four in the series.

• Friday, April 8, 2016

OAKLAND, Calif. – Maybe the shock of chilly Chicago air will give the White Sox a jolt after they travel home, finally, from the west coast after six-plus weeks of spring training and a seven days in warm and sunny California.

The Sox play their home opener against the Cleveland Indians on Friday.

It’s a challenging turnaround, especially for a team with lots of new players who don’t know their way around U.S. Cellular Field. But “that’s the schedule,’’ manager Robin Ventura said.

“It’s not ideal but we’re going to have to deal with it. It’s going to be cold, that’s probably more of an issue than anything. When we go back that’s the first thing we’re going to feel when we get off the plane.’’

The Indians opened at home, so they’ve had a few days to get reacquainted with the cold.

“Both teams are playing in it so you might as well get used to it and get going,’’ Ventura said. “I wish we had a day to go home and get acclimated to it. It’s a little odd when you have so many guys coming in not going where to go, where there locker is at, the routine they would set for themselves. It’s a bit different but we’ll be fine.’’

John Danks, who makes his first start, has had a rough go against the Indians at home. He’s 1-8 with a 6.41 ERA in 12 lifetime starts against the Tribe at U.S. Cellular Field.

“On my day I want it to be as cold as possible,’’ said Danks, who says he’ll pitch in short sleeves. “I feel like it’s more of an advantage for the pitcher the colder it is. I hope it’s 20 degrees and sleeting.’’

Using the bench: Austin Jackson and Jimmy Rollins did not start Thursday afternoon, and Avisail Garcia played his first game in right field with Melky Cabrera at designated hitter as Ventura took steps to keep players fresh. Adam Eaton played his first game in center field, and J.B. Shuck started in left.

Garcia “has never really been a DH so you want to get him out there at least moving around at different points,’’ Ventura said. “You don’t want him to become just a DH.’’ Latos’ turn: Right-hander Mat Latos made his first start for the Sox on Thursday afternoon, and breezed through the first four innings without allowing a hit.

“He’s had a couple outings that weren’t as good as we think he can be

Zobrist bucks industry convention

By GORDON WITTENMYER gwittenmyer@suntimes.com

PHOENIX – For the past two decades, team executives throughout baseball have engaged in a race to the bottom when it comes to the desired age of players on their rosters, squeezing out the middle class of good 30-somethings along the way.

Youth became so valuable to teams that MLB capped amateur spending in 2012.

And then along came Zo. “I’d take 25 Ben Zobrists,” a former big-league manager working for a rival NL team said this spring. “I think any manager in baseball would.”

Joe Maddon certainly would, and has. Twice.

“He’s so professional, and he’s a winner,” said Maddon, the second-year Cubs manager who called Zobrist a “glue guy” when urging the front office to acquire him all three times Zobrist was on the move the past 15 months.

“It’s just the way he plays the game; you’ve already seen it here,” Maddon said.

With his 35th birthday looming next month, Zobrist defied industry

Cubs beat Diamondbacks, Schwarber hurt in collision

PHOENIX – Anthony Rizzo matched his career high with six RBIs, and the Cubs beat the Arizona Diamondbacks, 14-6, on Thursday night but lost Kyle Schwarber with a sprained ankle in an outfield collision.

Schwarber was hurt in the second inning when he collided with Dexter Fowler, a play that resulted in an inside-the-park home run for Arizona’s Jean Segura.

John Lackey (1-0) gave up six runs on eight hits over six innings in his Cubs debut.

– Wire report

convention when he landed a fouryear, $56 million deal as a free agent in December – by all accounts turning down bigger offers from suitors such as the Nationals and Mets.

Considered in the vacuum of larger trends it looks even more like an outlier when the Cubs moved a 25-yearold, three-time All-Star to make room in the lineup and on the payroll.

But the Cubs aren’t likely to experience buyer’s remorse anytime soon.

CUBS 14, DIAMONDBACKS 6

Zobrist’s value for the Cubs isn’t in the vacuum of some trend, or measured by them within convention.

“We’ve had signings this offseason that have been more celebrated,” general manger Jed Hoyer said. “But in my mind no one is more important as far as a guy that can be part of our culture, and a switch-hitter, who can play in the middle of the field, and obviously with the experience he has winning in Tampa and Kansas City.”

Age? If anything, Hoyer admits he and the front office made that mistake once already with Zobrist, when they discounted his value in the 2004 draft because of his age while they ran the Red Sox. It seems even when Zobrist was young, he was the old guy.

He was 23 coming out of college, 25 when he debuted, 28 when he made his first All-Star team, 32 when he made his second and 34 when he won his first World Series ring with the Royals.

“He’s one of my favorite players ever,” said Royals general manager Dayton Moore, who tried to acquire Zobrist for years before finally getting him at last summer’s trade deadline from the Athletics.

Tarasenko powers Blues to win over Blackhawks CHICAGO – Vladimir Tarasenko scored his second goal of the game at 3:37 of overtime, and the St. Louis Blues cooled off the Blackhawks with a 2-1 victory Thursday in a possible playoff preview.

Tarasenko also tied it with 1:16 left in regulation with a laser from the left circle on a rebound attempt off a shot from Kevin Shattenkirk.

St. Louis (49-23-9) won for the eighth time in nine games to remain tied with Dallas for the Central Division lead.

– Wire report not be open for long.

“We all love Bicks as a guy, and I think we’re all hoping that he can recapture the player he was and the player he can be,” Kane said. “He can be one of those guys that comes in and plays well right away and is a big force in the playoffs, like he has been in the past. He’s got that big body, plays that physical type of game, and he can also chip in with scoring goals. Great to see him back up here. Hopefully he does

well.”

Bickell hasn’t played for the Hawks since Jan. 8, and has no goals and two assists in just 23 games. In Rockford, he had 15 goals and 16 assists in 44 games.

In 2013, he had nine goals and eight assists in 23 playoff games, earning the four-year, $16-million contract that has become something of an albatross for the Hawks.

The following postseason, Bickell had seven goals and three assists in 19 games. Last spring, he had just five assists in 18 games, and missed five of the six Stanley Cup Final games as he battled vertigo.

“At this time of the year, his play seems to rise to the challenge of playing important games,” Joel Quenneville said. “He brings an element – he has all the tools to help our team and had some good games in the minors.

I’m sure he’s really excited about getting the opportunity today, and we’ll see how it goes going into next week.”

Bickell, an uncommonly introspective player, always has dealt with confidence issues. But he said positivity was the key to enduring the disappointment and humiliation of being demoted for most of the season.

For the past three months, Bryan Bickell – who three times has been on the ice to celebrate winning the Stanley Cup – has been living out of a hotel in Rockford, shuttling back and forth to Chicago to see his family on off nights, and playing against teams like the Lake Erie Monsters and Manitoba Moose.

It puts things in perspective a bit.

“I remember those old days – seven-hour trips on a bus,” Bickell said.

“Maybe when I was 21, it was easier on the body. But I just turned 30, so it was tough. It’s nice to get back, and hopefully I won’t have to do that again.”

That, of course, is up to Bickell, who is getting a third chance in Chicago this season because of the Blackhawks’ litany of injuries. With Andrew Shaw likely out for the past two games of the regular season, and Marian Hossa and Artem Anisimov out in Thursday’s game at St. Louis and questionable at best for Saturday’s finale in Columbus, the Hawks have turned to Bickell to help fill the void.

And after spending most of this sea-

son sparking memories of the old-old days in the minors, Bickell now hopes to rekindle memories of the goodold days when he was a goal-scoring wrecking ball in the 2013 and 2014 playoffs, totaling 16 goals. Bickell, Patrick Kane and Duncan Keith all used the word “force” to describe Bickell in past postseasons. The question, after two disappointing seasons marked by poor play and injuries, is whether that force still exists.

“I believe I have it, I know they believe it, and that’s why they Bryan Bickell brought me back here,” Bickell said. “I’m excited to get this train back on track and be a force. I know I’ve got a lot of games left in me, and I want to play every game like it’s my last.”

Every game could be Bickell’s last.

At least, in Chicago. The Hawks have been trying to unload his $4-million salary for more than a year, and came close during this past trade deadline.

With Hossa, Shaw and Anisimov all expected back for Game 1 of the playoffs next week, Bickell’s window to prove he can be the player he once was might

Wearing Adult Diapers or Padded Underwear May No Longer be Necessary According to Dr. Seipel, Leaking, Squirming, Squeezing, and Embarassing Odors...Even Accidents Can Now be a Thing of the Past!

NEW YORK, NEW YORK — If life isn’t hard enough, now you have to worry about making it to the bathroom in time. The feeling of your bladder bursting and the down right panic of “not making it” in time can be absolutely overwhelming.

Don’t even dare to laugh, cough or sneeze at the “wrong” time and when did you start to become scared to take a big sip of tea, coffee or water?

You’re not alone in your battle to control your bladder. According to The National Institute of Health, as many as 33 million Americans are affected by bladder control issues described above.

The Family Secret Even the Family Doesn’t Know

“Most people who have overactive bladders choose to keep their problem a secret,” says Dr. Tracey Seipel, a longtime clinician who is one of the world’s leading experts in natural urological healthcare.

“They don’t even tell their spouse or families about it. It affects their lives in every way, influencing where they go, and even what they will wear in case they have an accident.”

“Black is the color of choice,” says Dr. Seipel, “as it can hide evidence of public accidents.”

A 100% natural, drug-free aid developed by Dr. Seipel is now available in a remarkable, fast-acting natural formula called Bladder Control featuring Urox.

This sophisticated herbal compound has been shown in clinical studies to help improve bladder control with reductions in bladder frequency, nocturia (having to urinate at night), urgency, and bladder discomfort, sometimes in as little as two weeks.

Since its introduction in Australia, more than 25,000 people have used the Bladder Control formula.

Dr. Seipel’s formula has made a believer out of 45-year-old, mother of three, Brandy W., from Brisbane, Australia.

“I had a high bladder frequency as a child,” says Brandy, “but my frequency really worsened after the birth of my first child.”

A friend who was aware of Brandy’s condition told her about Dr. Seipel’s formula. “After two weeks, I had already noticed changes,” smiles Brandy.** “I was finding that although I felt I needed to urinate, I wasn’t as desperate to run to the toilet. Now, when I get up in the morning,” she adds, “I’m able to make the coffee and even have a cup before needing to go, which is a great improvement!”

2000’s, receiving an award from the prestigious US Nutrition Business Journal for her work.

Her patent-pending formula consisting of select, synergistically paired botanicals like Crateva nurvala, Equisetum arvense and Lindera aggregata, was 15 years in the making.

Dr. Seipel searched for an effective, nutritional solution.

Reduce the Need for Adult Diapers

Dr. Tracey Seipel: Naturopath, Clinical Nutritionist, Herbalist & Diabetes Educator How Does It Work?

“Bladder Control helps support bladder health by revitalizing bladder tone and function, and by helping support kidney health,” says Dr. Seipel.

“Bladder Control promotes normal urinary frequency, and reduces urgency, nocturia and those embarrassing, awayfrom-home bladder accidents,” adds Dr. Seipel.

“The compound invigorates the tone of the bladder wall, assisting a healthy level of firmness by enhancing the bladder’s muscular elasticity. This reduces the frequent urge to urinate,” explains Dr. Seipel.

Positive Clinical Trial

This natural, drug-free Bladder Control formula has performed well in a clinical study.

In one placebo-controlled, randomized trial, many participants saw results in as little as two weeks. But the best was yet to come.

Two weeks later, those participants shocked study observers by reporting a significant improvement in their quality of life. Thirty days later 77% of participants were experiencing benefits.

Results like these are not surprising to Dr. Seipel who single-handedly pioneered the bladder care category in the early

“Overactive bladder syndrome is a widespread problem,” says Dr. Seipel.

Many of these individuals wear adult diapers.

Insiders in the adult diaper industry are keeping a close eye on Dr. Seipel’s bladder support breakthrough because of people like 78-year-old retired teacher, Glenda B. from Gold Coast, Australia.

Glenda wore adult diapers every day to guard against accidents.

“My bladder capacity was good but the leakage and accidents would occur without warning. So, I wore them every day,” confesses Glenda.

Since Glenda discovered Dr. Seipel’s Bladder Control formula, you won’t find her shopping in the adult diaper section of the store anymore.

“After only 10 days on Bladder Control, I reduced the need to wear my diapers.

Now, I am managing very well, thank you,” says Glenda. According to Euromonitor International, a respected market research firm, the size of the adult diaper market in the U.S. was approximately $1.4 Billion in 2012.

Prostate or Bladder? Hard to Tell

Many men confuse the symptoms of overactive bladder syndrome with prostate woes.

Dr. Seipel explains, “Prostate enlargement restricts urine flow. The bladder compensates for this by trying harder and harder to push the urine out.”

As bladder pressure increases, so does instances of urinary frequency and urgency. Long after a man’s prostate woes are relieved, he may still experience

Store shelves are overflowing with adult diapers and absorbent underwear the same symptoms thanks to his nowoveractive bladder.

His-and-Her Results

“Because male and female bladders, other than size, are identical,” says Dr. Seipel, “the formula works equally well for both men and women”.

“It’s a his-and-her formula,” she smiles.

David M., age 46, can attest to this. “I was having to go to the toilet every hour or so and I had to go to the toilet at least four times per night.”

Four weeks after starting Bladder Control, David says, “My trips to the toilet have definitely reduced and I’m having much better sleep, getting up maybe once a night.”

If you’re ready to alleviate your go-now urination urges, to those frantic trips to the bathroom, and if you are looking for the confidence and security that a healthy bladder can bring to your life, here’s your risk-free opportunity.

MIAMI – Derrick Rose doesn’t know if his summer vacation will be starting next week or next month, but either way he’s calling it the “biggest offseason” of his career.

Not only will he enter it healthy, as well as having plans to work out with teammates like Jimmy Butler, but it’s the offseason leading into the final year of his contract.

It is a summer that’s been circled for quite some time on Rose’s calendar.

Even back on the first day of training camp, unprompted Rose brought up the fact of all the money that was currently being passed around the league and was going to Derrick Rose be passed around with a new television contract kicking up payroll.

“Making sure my family is financially stable, as far as seeing all the money that they’re passing out in this league,” Rose said back in late September. “Just telling the truth. Just knowing that my day will be coming up soon, and it’s not for me. It’s for [son] P.J. and his future, so that’s what I’m thinking about now.”

Months later, it’s still what Rose is thinking about.

“Of course it’s the biggest, the biggest offseason,” Rose said Thursday.

“But there’s no pressure or anything.

Hard work takes care of that. Like I said, there’s nothing wrong with being over-prepared [for free agency] and I’m prepared right now, so this offseason is going to make me even more prepared.”

Rose said the key to how he wants to handle this offseason was to stay calm and keep busy with his son.

“Just putting in work, man,” Rose said. “I mean this is a big summer coming up for me, as far as working out, staying at peace with myself, keeping calm, being with my son.

“Depending on how the season ends I may have more time. If anything I’ll be able to be around him more, so as far as working out with players, that’s cool, but my main concern is my son right now if the season was to end.”

Rose did reiterate that he and Butler do have plans to hook up and work out together, as Butler and coach Fred Hoiberg revealed on Wednesday.

All the Bulls care about is they get a motivated Rose in camp come next September, whether it’s motivated by playing for a max contract or not.

“He showed flashes definitely of playing [at an elite level], especially after the All-Star break, and then had a couple more setbacks,” Hoiberg said of Rose’s 2015-16 season. “I think the big thing for Derrick this summer is to get himself to a point to go out there and put a full season under his belt, and I’m confident he can do that. It’s going to be important for not only Derrick, but for all of our guys to get their bodies right.”

Can This Simple Trick Really Help You Hear Better in 7 Days?

ADVERTISEMENT

Doctors unlock powerful secret to hearing as clear as a bell… Without surgery, hearing aids or implants?

A

ccording to a recent Epidemiology of Hearing Loss Study, a whopping 46% of adults between the ages of 48 and 87 suffer some form of hearing loss. That’s nearly half the adults over 48 in the country! It’s not surprising considering many doctors say hearing loss, and ringing in the ears, are a curse of aging and, you simply have to live with the problem as you get older!

This is a myth and it has been busted by many people, as you will read in a moment.

of Hearing Rescue, the growing popularity of Hearing Rescue could have a negative impact on the hearing aid industry. After all, who wants to have an ugly hearing aid stuck in their ear, when they can improve and support their hearing with natural ingredients? Also, remember, with Hearing Rescue, there is no hassle of replacing batteries. The hearing aid industry could be even more worried when they realize the success of Hearing Rescue is no fluke and is based on scientific principles.

Whatever your age, you can hear loud and clear.

The science-backed formula for better hearing.

You see, your age may have nothing to do with your poor hearing. Like any other organ, your ears need a steady flow of nutrients and energizers to support peak performance. Once you give your aging ears the proper nutrition they need, they can become as good as new. Just imagine, in a few days you can easily follow conversations, watch TV without straining to hear, and listen to your favorite songs without turning the volume on “high.” Wouldn’t that be nice?

Listen Up! No more saying WHAAT!?

Thanks to the untiring efforts of Dr. Victor Marchione and his team of researchers, we are able to bring you some of the very best in natural hearing science. Although Dr. Marchione is a certified M.D., his success with natural ingredients has made him famous all over the world as the Food Doctor. Dr. Marchione recently developed a powerful and effective formula that has helped improve the hearing of several men and women. It has natural ingredients, is drug free, and best of all, it can start to work quickly. It is aptly called Hearing Rescue. And as you can see from the true stories below, it is clearly living up to its name.

True stories of relief. Fast relief!

For many years Margaret suffered with poor hearing.

In her own words, “Hearing aids did not work for me.”

Ever since she started taking Hearing Rescue, her hearing has improved dramatically. According to Margaret, there was a noticeable difference in just a few weeks. Even the ringing in her ears was noticeably reduced.

Dallas W. had a similar experience. He says, “I’ve had hearing problems for the past 6 years. I’ve tried many solutions – both physical aids and supplements – but nothing worked. I came across Bel Marra and Dr. Marchione on the internet and was impressed so I gave their hearing product a try. Within a few weeks of taking Hearing Rescue, it helped me hear sounds I haven’t heard for years. Even my doctor was amazed at how improved my hearing was.”

These are just two of the hundreds of people who have taken the right measures to get back their hearing. It’s your turn now.

No more hearing aids?

No more missed conversations?

While there are thousands like Margaret and Dallas who are benefiting from the incredible performance

Dr. Marchione considers Hearing Rescue to be the best ‘insurance’ for optimum ear and hearing health.

It contains 10 best-of-the-best nutritional compounds clinically proven to help…

• Improve the volume, range and sensitivity of your hearing.

• Boost circulation to the tiny capillaries in and around your auditory canal.

• Deliver the high-potency, cell-nourishing support to repair your inner ears.

• Fight the free radical damage that can harm your hearing cells.

• Relieve annoying ringing, whistling, and buzzing in the ears – starting in three weeks or less!

What’s more, ingredients in Hearing Rescue are in the same dosage as those used in the clinical studies.

So it can help deliver the same kind of results for you, too.

The proof is in the clinical trials.

The ingredients in Hearing Rescue are backed by clinical trials. In one placebo-controlled study, people suffering with ringing in their ears saw a marked improvement in their symptoms (when compared with the placebo group) after taking Ginkgo biloba. Ginkgo, one of the active ingredients in Hearing Rescue, helps boost the blood circulation to the ears and energizes the power plants (mitochondria) in your inner ear. When these power plants are more efficient, your hearing becomes more efficient.

Vinpocetine, another ingredient in Hearing Rescue, is well on its way to becoming a household name for its ability to help boost and support hearing. In a clinical study of participants with sudden hearing loss, a whopping 79.2% of patients experienced better hearing after taking this amazing hearing-booster.

And two-thirds of patients saw a significant decrease in the ringing in their ears.

Of course, these two ingredients are ably supported by the other ingredients in Hearing Rescue – Magnesium, Zinc, Copper, Selenium, Vitamin E, Folate, Vitamin B12, and Alpha-lipoic Acid. All of which are proven to help support and improve hearing and ear health.

According to Dr. Marchione, Hearing Rescue can work wonders for people of all ages as its ingredients have the ability to boost blood circulation to the ears. Good circulation helps nourish the ears and remove dangerous toxins that can destroy the delicate cells and tissues in the ears. Moreover, the Alpha-lipoic acid and vitamin E give your aging ears the antioxidant support they need.

Antioxidants play a crucial role in neutralizing the free radicals that destroy ear tissue.

The longer you wait, the worse your hearing can become.

Although age has nothing to do with poor hearing, the more you starve your ears of the nutrients they need, the worse your hearing can get. And if this continues, a time will come when the damage becomes irreversible. But if you start taking Hearing Rescue, you can help protect your ears and your hearing. Imagine, in a few short weeks, you can stop worrying about missing conversations, turning up the volume on your TV, or straining to hear the voice at the other end of your phone. But you have to act now.

Don’t let another day with poor hearing go by.
