County passes resolution opposing tax hike effective Jan. 1, 2015. Many Democratic lawmakers and leaders repeatedly stressed at the time of the vote that the tax increase would be a temporary measure. The resolution drafted last week first cleared the board’s Legislative and Intergovernmental Affairs Committee on a 5-1 vote prior to the full board meeting. While committee member Nick Chirikos, D-Algonquin, voted yes on the board floor, he voted no in committee out of con-

cern of the impact on state services that would result if the tax increase is allowed to expire. He conceded that state Democratic leaders were “absolutely short-sighted” in their handling of the temporary tax. “I’m very concerned about the effect the loss of revenue is going to have at the state level. It’s a huge hit to the budget,” Chirikos said. But committee Chairman John

SPRINGFIELD – Some Illinois Democratic lawmakers reluctant to vote to make tax increases permanent are splitting with party leaders and calling for alternative approaches such as gradually reducing income tax rates or finding spending cuts to help balance the budget. But Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn and House Speaker Michael Madigan are unwilling so far to look at those options, despite being what Madigan described as “significantly” short of the number of votes needed for approval of the tax increases in the House. The intraparty disagreement is playing out with less than two weeks to go in the spring legislative session, and with lawmakers still needing to approve a budget for the fiscal year that begins July 1. That is frustrating several lawmakers – including some who are fighting to hold on to their seats in November – who expressed their concerns during an at-times contentious meeting with Quinn Monday, and again on Tuesday. “We all asked the governor yesterday ‘Do you have a Plan B? Because this isn’t working,’” Rep. Deb Conroy, a Villa Park Democrat, said Tuesday. “And so far he says no. So that’s kind of where we’re at.” Conroy describes herself as a solid “no” to keeping current income tax increases in place, but said she’s “waiting to see what they’re going to come up with.”

Two years after Jim and Wendy Anderson got married in 2002, they started going to fertility treatments because Wendy has polycystic ovaries and the Lake in the Hills couple couldn’t conceive naturally. After going through different medications and procedures, the couple decided to go through the in vitro fertilization route. It was a process that took two attempts, a physical toll on Wendy and an emotional toll on the couple. It cost $18,000 out of pocket. During that second attempt, the then-34-year-old Wendy became pregnant with twins, and the couple had the family it wanted. Over the past two decades there has been an increase in the rate of multiple births by 76 percent. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 3.3 percent of births in 2012 resulted in twins, and a recent New England Journal of Medicine article estimated that 36 percent of twin births and 77 percent of triplet births came after conception assisted by fertility treatments. When the Andersons first tried in vitro, they had two embryos implanted into Wendy. She also had to have regular shots done at the same time every day to help encourage her body to take the pregnancy. “It’s time consuming,” Wendy Anderson said. But the first time wasn’t successful. “After the first round it was heartbreaking,” Wendy Anderson said. “After going through all of that procedure, and nothing came about, we were devastated because we had

Here’s to the Blackhawks and brotherly love Families are funny things. No two are alike. Throw in the extended family, and characterizations are even harder to make. One thing is certain, though: Some families are close, while others are not. My own is not, though it’s not for any lack of genuine affection. It’s more a case of benign neglect. My four siblings and I are busy people with busy lives. Months can pass before there’s contact. Never is this more true than with my older brothers and me. They both are more than a decade older than I, and we all live in different states. They were grown and out of the house before I even started kindergarten. And, let’s face it, we also don’t have all that much in common. So it was a bit surprising last year when I started to get text messages from my brother Craig.

8LOTTERY

VIEWS Joan Oliver He hit upon a subject dear to my heart: the Chicago Blackhawks. The messages began during the Stanley Cup Playoffs, when the Hawks were playing in the Western Conference Finals against the Los Angeles Kings. This makes sense, since Chicago games are easier to find then, especially for casual hockey fans who live in Texas, as Craig does. He’d text early in the game to make sure I was watching. Then we’d exchange comments as the games progressed, mostly after something good (a goal by the Hawks) or bad (a bad penalty or being scored upon) happened. As the games went on, I realized just how precious this was: I was

bonding with my big brother. Granted, Craig isn’t the hockey nerd that I am. He can’t tell you the names of all the players on the Blackhawks and most of the players on any opposing team. But he was there, watching with me. When the Stanley Cup Final series against the Boston Bruins went to Game 6, he knew just how nervous I was. It had been a grueling series, with both teams playing hurt. And there had been three overtime games already. Then came that improbable pair of goals in the third period, 17 seconds apart. My phone rang with about a minute left in regulation. There was Craig, wanting to share the clinching moment of the series. Priceless. Of course, I had to hang up the phone before I could scream my head off and dance around my living

room like an idiot. Some things you just don’t want to share, even with family. To show my appreciation for the gift he had given his little sister, I sent him a championship T-shirt, complete with the Blackhawks’ playoff roster. I’m sure there aren’t that many of those in Texas. This year, my oldest brother, Gary, has gotten in on the action. And it’s been even better. As it turns out, Gary is as much of a hockey nerd as I am. He’s fluent in all things Bears, too. So here’s to a long and successful playoff run for the Blackhawks. I want to hang out with my big brothers for as long as possible.

Police: Actor told 911 he shot wife in L.A. By TAMI ABDOLLAH and ANTHONY McCARTNEY The Associated Press LOS ANGELES – Actor Michael Jace, who played a police officer on the hit TV show “The Shield,” was arrested Tuesday after calling 911 and telling an operator that he shot his wife, authorities said. Detectives were investigating whether the couple’s financial or other marital difficulties might have played a role in the killing that police said occurred during an argument on Monday night while the couple’s two sons, both under 10, were in the house. Police were unsure if the children had witnessed the ar-

gument or gunfire. They were placed in the care of relatives. The body of April Jace, 40, was found with multiple gunshot wounds in a hallway of the home in the quiet, modest Hyde Park neighborhood of Los Angeles. Police recovered a handgun believed to belong to her Michael Jace husband, Los Angeles police Detective Dean Vinluan said. “She came home with the kids and then the dispute happened and the shooting happened,” he said. Michael Jace was seen walking out of the home as

officers arrived. He was detained and later arrested. “We don’t know if he came out of fear or was trying to get out of there,” Vinluan said. Jace, 51, is best known for his role as LAPD Officer Julien Lowe in “The Shield.” He also appeared on the show “Southland” and had small roles in the movies “Planet of the Apes,” “Boogie Nights” and “Forrest Gump.” A printout of the incident history indicated that he had called 911 and told the operator that he had shot his wife, Vinluan said. Jace was booked on suspicion of homicide, and detectives intend to review the full 911 call from Jace and other

calls from neighbors reporting that shots had been fired before he is formally charged. Calls seeking comment from Jace’s agents at SMS Talent were not immediately returned. It could not immediately be determined if he had retained a lawyer. Vinluan said there had been no previous reports of domestic violence at the home. However, the actor had been under financial pressure in recent years. He declared for bankruptcy in 2011 and had been delinquent on payments as recently as December. April Jace had worked as a financial aid counselor at Biola University, a private Christian school, since March 2013.

McConnell dispatches GOP challenger Senate leader wins primary with ease By DAVID ESPO The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell dispatched his tea party challenger with ease Tuesday night, and Democrats turned to two women, Alison Lundergan Grimes to oppose him in Kentucky and Michelle Nunn to fight for Georgia, in elections next fall with control of the Senate at stake. Setting up a third high-profile race, Democratic Sen. Mark Pryor of Arkansas and his Republican challenger, Rep. Tom Cotton, were unopposed for their parties’ nominations. On the busiest primary night of the year to date, Democrats eyeing a return to power in the Pennsylvania state Capitol nominated businessman Tom Wolf to oppose Republican Gov. Tom Corbett’s bid for a second term. Republican primary struggles between establishment-backed conservatives and tea party-favored rivals were a dominant feature of the evening, as they had been earlier in North Carolina and will be later in Mississippi, Kansas and Alaska. Republicans must gain six seats to win a Senate majority, and party leaders have made it a priority to avoid the presence of candidates on the ballot this fall who are seen as too conservative or unsteady – or both – to prevail in winnable races. McConnell, a five-term law-

Challenger Matt Bevin was gaining 36 percent. For Democrats, Tuesday night was a chance to showcase challengers – both of them women – in the rare states where the party has hopes of picking up GOP-held seats. Grimes, a prize Democratic recruit, was piling up 76 percent in a four-way race, winning her Kentucky primary with ease. She and McConnell wasted no time turning their attention to the fall campaign. “Make me the majority leader and Kentucky will lead America,” McConnell said in an appeal to home state pride, adding that he would use his power to check President Barack Obama’s agenda. Grimes said Obama wasn’t

on the ballot, and responded forcefully to some of the campaign barbs that have already come her way. “I am not an empty dress. I am not a rubber stamp. And I am not a cheerleader. I am a strong Kentucky woman,” she told cheering supporters in Lexington. In Georgia, Nunn, whose father was a four-term Democratic senator from the state, easily outpaced her Democratic rivals and awaited the outcome of the GOP primary to learn her opponent for the fall. Seven Republicans vied for that nomination, and a twoway July 22 runoff appeared a certainty. Businessman David Perdue qualified for the next round, while Rep. Jack Kingston led former Secretary of State Karen Handel for the final spot. Along with Perdue, Kings-

ton and Handel, Reps. Phil Gingrey and Paul Broun also were on the Georgia Republican ballot, and the presence of three incumbent lawmakers in the Senate race assured a large turnover in the state’s House delegation come January. Bevin was backed by tea party groups in the state where they made their mark four years ago by sweeping GOP Sen. Rand Paul into office. Outmaneuvered in 2010 when his preferred contender was defeated, McConnell responded this time by running ads featuring testimonials from Paul, and by hiring a top aide to Paul to run his own campaign. For his part, Bevin stumbled through a campaign that included an appearance at a rally of cock-fighting supporters.

8BRIEFS Illinois lawmaker asking judge to postpone trial CHICAGO – An Illinois lawmaker set to face trial on federal bribery charges is asking to postpone the proceeding so he can finish out the legislative session. Rep. Derrick Smith is a Chicago Democrat who was charged in 2012 with accepting a $7,000 bribe from someone seeking a state grant. Smith is set to go to trial May 28 in Chicago. The Legislature isn’t scheduled to adjourn until May 31. In a court filing, Smith’s attorney asks a judge to postpone the trial until June 2. He says there are “significant” pieces of legislation to be voted on between May 28 and 31. The judge could rule Wednesday.

Degree bill inspired by Kilgore advances SPRINGFIELD – The Illinois Senate has passed legislation that would make it illegal to use a degree obtained under a false name or other false pretenses to get a job or enter an advanced degree program. The bill passed Monday doesn’t name former Symbionese Liberation Army member and current University of Illinois instructor James Kilgore. But state Sen. Chapin Rose has said he added the language about false pretenses because of Kilgore.

House approves $12 billion-plus water bill WASHINGTON – The House passed the closest thing so far this year to an infrastructure bill – a $12 billion-plus bipartisan measure authorizing 34

water projects, ranging from flood protection in California and North Dakota to deepening the Port of Savannah and widening a Texas-Louisiana waterway that services the oil industry. The Water Resources Reform and Development Act passed Tuesday on a 412-4 vote.

Lawmakers delay vote on Detroit bankruptcy LANSING, Mich. – Michigan lawmakers are waiting a day to hold an initial vote on giving $195 million in state money to help Detroit emerge from bankruptcy while potentially keeping the city under oversight for decades. A Republican-led House committee plans to vote on the 11-bill package Wednesday after reviewing a number of changes being made. Expected changes include adding a City Council designee to a nine-member oversight board to review Detroit’s finances and budgets. The panel would still primarily consist of state appointees.

Court says Missouri can proceed with execution BONNE TERRE, Mo. – A federal appeals court has ruled that Missouri can proceed with its planned execution of a convicted killer, despite concerns that his medical condition could cause him to suffer during lethal injection. The full 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals late Tuesday lifted a stay of execution for Russell Bucklew that was granted hours earlier by a three-judge panel of that court. Attorneys for Bucklew appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Jim Anderson: ‘We’re lucky everything worked out’ • BIRTHS

“It’s perfect what we have. We’re lucky everything worked out.”

Continued from page A1 all these quality eggs that were available. [The doctor] put two in, and ... nothing stuck. We just put all this money in and we’re not going to have kids.” After waiting a few months to allow Wendy’s body to physically recover, and for the couple to recover emotionally, they tried again. And against their doctor’s recommendation, they had implanted three embryos into Wendy, hoping for better results. “It really had to do with the numbers,” Wendy Anderson said. “It’s going to increase our odds if we do just one more egg, and we told ourselves, ‘So what if we had twins ... it’s not that big of an issue. We’ve always wanted at least two children anyway.’ ” By the end of their fertility processes, they paid $18,000 out of pocket. Insurance only paid $4,000 toward the treatment. Now their 7-year-old twins, Adam and Madison, who were born three days early, are involved in activities: Adam in baseball, Madison in ballet. They both play piano. “I got the prize package,” Wendy Anderson said. Dr. Laurence Jacobs is a fertility doctor with an office in Crystal Lake. He has worked to reduce the amount of times women give birth to multiples after they get pregnant through fertility treatments. Couples usually try in vitro treatments after other fertility treatment, such as medications, have not worked, Jacobs said. Before in vitro, some cou-

That could lead to multiples. However in vitro treatments also can lead to multiples, especially if doctors implant multiple embryos into a woman. The cost can be about $15,000 a try, Jacobs said. It can be more expensive for women in their 40s. He tries to limit the possibility of twins and triplets because taking care of them is more expensive, and there is a greater risk for developmental problems, or issues such as cerebral palsy, learning disabilities and ADHD, and “other learning deficits that will affect them for a lifetime,” Jacobs said. Doctors might put in more embryos into a woman to increase the odds of the woman becoming pregnant. However, Jacobs encourages only putting in one embryo at a time. “You get push back from couples who don’t want to

be conservative, especially if they’re paying for it,” Jacobs said. “Many people are desperate to be successful and are willing to take the risks of twins,” Jacobs added. Heather Herbolsheimer is an OB/GYN at Barrington

Health Care for Women. She said the amount of twins being born at her practice has remained steady in her 12 years of work. But she is someone who went through in vitro treatment herself, which helped lead to her 9-year-old daughter. The 43-year-old doctor said she decided to go through the treatment because she decided to start a family later in life after she was established in her career. It’s a situation common with many women, Herbolsheimer said. However, the older someone is, the lower the fertility rate, Herbolsheimer said.

She went through in vitro treatment twice, she said. Going through the process can be frustrating and leave couples emotionally spent, Herbolsheimer said. The process involves frequent blood draws and taking time off work. And if the process is not successful, and couples want to try again, they have to wait three to four months. Even as an OB/GYN, Herbolsheimer took the risk and had multiple embryos implanted in her in hopes of getting pregnant, she said. For the Andersons, they have the ideal family, Jim Anderson said. “It’s perfect what we have,” Jim Anderson said. “We’re lucky everything worked out.” Jim Anderson is happy the in vitro procedure exists. “It gives people who could be good parents an opportunity to be parents,” Jim Anderson said.

Democrats in 2011 voted to increase the income tax rate for individuals from 3 percent to 5 percent. The rate is currently scheduled to drop to 3.75 percent for individuals in January. The rate for corporations would drop from 7 percent to 5.25 percent, which would reduce state revenue next year by an estimated $1.8 billion. Quinn, who’s in the midst of a tough re-election campaign, has said the drop in revenue would prompt massive cuts to areas such as education and social services. He’s pushing for a $38 billion budget that relies on lawmakers making the tax increase permanent.

You DO NOT Have to Suffer From Knee Pain Any Longer! We use diagnostic ultrasound, allowing the doctor to pinpoint problem areas with extreme accuracy. A viscosupplement is then injected, and the healing process begins. Viscosupplementation bonds with naturally occurring joint fluid to create a lubricating and cushioning layer. It reduces pain, inflammation and swelling of the joint. Patients compare the treatment to getting a shot at the doctor’s office, and report little pain or discomfort.

WHAT IS INJECTED INTO THE KNEE? Hyaluronic acid is similar to substances that occur naturally in your joint. The outside of the joint (joint capsule) is comprised of a sturdy, fibrous tissue. The lining of the joint capsule contains synovial cells, which secrete a thick, viscous synovial fluid. Hyaluronic acid contributes to the viscous nature of the joint fluid, nourishes the cartilage, helps eliminate waste products, lubricates the joint and acts as a shock absorber inside the joint. Hyaluronic acid is reduced or lost from those who suffer from osteoarthritis. It is similar to changing the oil in your car. If your car were to run low on oil, you would have some serious wear and tear on the moving parts.

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

What Do Patients Say? I had reached a point that I could no longer work out in the yard for more than 15 minutes. I couldn’t lift anything heavy, and some days I would have to use a cane because my knee hurt so much. I no longer need to do that. It is progressively getting better each week. Thank you Superior Health & Wellness for caring about my wellness! – Jenn B. “I had suffered from severe knee pain for months. I went to four different specialists without any relief. When I called Superior Health & Wellness, the staff was understanding and knowledgeable, schedules were rearranged and treatment was provided immediately. THANK YOU for helping me.” – Joann F.

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

Consider these facts before surgery People who suffer from knee pain typically try supplements or pain medications before seeking help from a doctor. When all else fails and the pain is too much, some feel that surgery is the only option. Before you put yourself through months of immobility, pain, rehab and hefty medical bills, consider something else. Superior Health and Wellness

Thailand’s army declares martial law By THANYARAT DOKSONE and TODD PITMAN The Associated Press BANGKOK – Thailand’s powerful military chief intervened Tuesday for the first time in the country’s latest political crisis, declaring martial law and dispatching gun-mounted jeeps into the heart of the capital with a vow to resolve the deepening conflict as quickly as possible. The move stopped short of a coup and left the nation’s increasingly cornered caretaker government intact, along with the constitution. Despite a steady stream of army edicts throughout the day that expanded the military’s power and included censorship of news and social media, life continued normally, with residents largely unfazed by the declaration. But

A Thai soldier mans a checkpoint Tuesday as motorcyclists ride past near the site where pro-government demonstrators staged a rally on the outskirts of Bangkok, Thailand. the intervention, which follows six months of crippling protests that killed 28 people and injured more than 800, left the country at another precarious crossroads – its fate now

squarely in the hands of the military. “The key going forward will be the military’s role in politics,” said Thitinan Pongsudhirak, director of the In-

stitute of Security and International Studies at Bangkok’s Chulalongkorn University. “If they play the role of enforcer of law and order and even mediator ... this could be a resolution to the impasse.” But if they don’t, “we can expect protests and turmoil from the losing side.” Thailand, an economic hub for Southeast Asia whose turquoise waters and idyllic beaches are a world tourist destination, has been gripped by off-and-on political turmoil since 2006, when former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra was toppled by a military coup after being accused of corruption, abuse of power and disrespect for Thailand’s king. His overthrow triggered a power struggle that pits Thaksin’s supporters among a rural majority against a conservative establishment in Bangkok.

U.S. hacking victims fell prey to mundane ruses announced on Monday the Justice Department said five Chinese military officials operating under hacker aliases such as “Ugly Gorilla,” ‘’KandyGoo” and “Jack Sun” stole confidential business information, sensitive trade secrets and internal communications for competitive advantage. The U.S. identified the alleged victims as Alcoa World Alumina, Westinghouse, Allegheny Technologies, U.S. Steel, United Steelworkers Union and SolarWorld. In some cases, the government says, the hackers used “spear-phishing” – a well-known scam to trick specific companies or employees into infecting their own computers.

By JACK GILLUM and ERIC TUCKER The Associated Press WASHINGTON – The victims were their own worst enemies. The hacking techniques the U.S. government says China used against American companies turned out to be disappointingly mundane, tricking employees into opening email attachments or clicking on innocent-looking website links. The scariest part might be how successfully the ruses worked. With a mouse click or two, employees at big-name American makers of nuclear and solar technology gave away the keys to their computer networks. In a 31-count indictment

Every state lawmaker whose district includes McHenry County opposes tax increase lawmaker whose district includes McHenry County adamantly opposes extending the tax increase. But with House Speaker Michael Madigan conceding that he is “significantly” short of the 60 votes he needs to make the tax increase permanent, every little bit of opposition might help. Illinois workers have paid on average an extra week’s salary in income taxes since Democratic lawmakers raised tax rates in January 2011 without a single Republican vote. The flat tax was raised on indi-

viduals from 3 to 5 percent of income, and on corporations from 4.8 to 7 percent. When the personal property replacement tax is factored in, the corporate tax rate totals 9.5 percent. Democratic lawmakers sold the tax increase as a stopgap measure needed to straighten out state government’s dire finances and pay down a shameful pile of unpaid bills. But it didn’t work – most of the $31 billion the increase is predicted to generate has been swallowed by the

state’s ballooning public pension obligations. The increase is supposed to sunset Jan. 1 to 3.75 percent for individuals and from 7 percent to 5.25 percent for businesses. But Gov. Pat Quinn, in a move skeptics have warned was coming since he signed the increase into law, asked lawmakers in March to make it permanent, lest the state suffer draconian cuts that would hurt its neediest residents. While a bill keeping the increase permanent is expected to pass the more liberal Sen-

ate, its odds are far less certain in the House. While Madigan controls a 71-seat Democratic supermajority and therefore an 11-seat cushion, at least double that number either voted against the increase in the first place or have since publicly stated that it should sunset as promised. The number of votes needed to pass legislation that takes effect immediately increases to a three-fifths majority, or 71 House votes, upon the end of the spring legislative session May 31.

Buckle up this weekend For many people, buckling up when they get in the car has become routine. At least, it is when they’re in the front seats. The Illinois Department of Transportation found in a 2013 observational survey that more than 93 percent of drivers and front-seat passengers were wearing their seat belts. But more than one in five backseat passengers were not. Many people remember the For the record days when the law didn’t require This month, local police will people to wear be on the lookout for people their seat belts in who are not wearing their seat a vehicle’s rear belts, no matter where they’re seats. But those sitting in a moving vehicle. days are gone, and have been for more than two years. Since 2012, Illinois law has required all people riding in vehicles to wear seat belts. Officials say it’s with good reason: In 2012, backseat passengers in Illinois accounted for 46 fatalities and over 5,000 injuries. Out of those 46 fatalities, 30 of them were not wearing their seat belt, according to a police news release. According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, using a lap and shoulder belt reduces the risk of fatal injury by 60 percent for people in a sport-utility vehicle, a van or a pickup, and by 45 percent in a car. This month, local police will be on the lookout for people who are not wearing their seat belts, no matter where they’re sitting in a moving vehicle. The initiative, called the Click It or Ticket campaign, includes many police departments across the state. The campaign continues through Memorial Day, one of the biggest summer travel holidays. In Illinois, not only is wearing a seat belt mandatory, but a police officer can stop you if she sees you’re not wearing one, and will write you a $25 citation. Also, all children under 8 years old must have a safety seat, beginning with a rear-facing seat until age 2. Our state has made great leaps in reducing traffic fatalities, and seat belt use has been an important part of that. Remember to buckle up, no matter where you are in a vehicle – and not just this month, but all the time.

A taxing situation Someday, the wolf and the lamb will lie down together, and, shortly thereafter, perhaps, Republicans and Democrats will pass tax reform. It shouldn’t be that hard, actually, given the broad recognition in both parties that exchanging lower tax rates for a reduction in loopholes would be good for both fairness and efficiency. But every loophole has a lobby, and so even though President Barack Obama has floated a corporate reform proposal and Rep. Dave Camp, R-Mich., tried to jump-start individual and corporate reform this year, there is no realistic prospect for a bill. In the meantime, Congress carries on, unredeemed and seemingly irredeemable. The Senate just fell apart over a full-employment plan for lobbyists also known as the “tax extenders” bill. The legislation would have renewed for two years more than 50 tax breaks that expired at the end of 2013, at a 10-year cost of $85 billion. (Taxpayers don’t have to file their returns for 2014 until April 15, 2015, and the law would work retroactively.) The measure passed the Finance Committee on a voice vote April 3, enjoyed wide bipartisan support and seemed headed to a vote on the floor – until Republicans filibustered Thursday, because, they said, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., would not let them offer amendments. Apparently, the GOP wanted to hold a vote on repealing the medical device tax, which helps finance the health care reform law. There may be no tax extenders bill until after the November election, unless the two parties can resolve this kerfuffle. The impasse is causing great upset among the various special interests – from wind-energy companies to stock-car racing – that live off its provisions. A delayed extenders bill endangers broader corporate provisions as well, such as the widely used and economically defensible research and development tax credit. Still, we’re not all that concerned. The best that can be said for the Senate bill is that its sponsor, Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., swears it’s the last such smorgasbord of his finance chairmanship and, therefore, the prelude to tax reform. Maybe. What’s certain is that Wyden was unable to sell his colleagues on a way to pay for the bill, so its entire cost would add to the federal deficit. This is fiscal irresponsibility, pure and simple. This may be one of those times when no bill is better than a bad bill. Certainly it won’t be the end of the world if both the House and the Senate have to ponder this turkey a while longer, during which time they may come up with a way to pay for it – or even the gumption to end the absurd annual “tax extender” ritual once The Washington Post and for all.

Hillary’s health matters in president race Karl Rove, the bete noir for Democrats (and some Republicans), has dared to raise questions about Hillary Clinton’s health. The New York Post first reported a conversation between Rove, former White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs and Dan Raviv of CBS News about Mrs. Clinton’s fall and concussion in December 2012. Rove was quoted as saying, “Thirty days in the hospital? And when she reappears, she’s wearing glasses that are only for people who have traumatic brain injury? We need to know what’s up with that.” Bill Clinton defended his wife saying she is “in better shape” than he is, but confirmed that it took “six months” of “very serious work” to recover from her concussion. A State Department spokesperson said it was 30 days. Which is it? The physical condition of a president, or one seeking the office, is a fundamental issue in any campaign and in every presidency. Virtually every president since George Washington has had health issues, some minor, some major. Not all presidents or their staffs were forthcoming about them. In 2002, The Atlantic Monthly

VIEWS Cal Thomas compiled a list of presidential health cover-ups: “Concealing one’s true medical condition from the voting public is a time-honored tradition of the American presidency. William Henry Harrison, who died of pneumonia in April of 1841, after only one month in office, was the first Chief Executive to hide his physical frailties. Nine years later, Zachary Taylor’s handlers refused to acknowledge that cholera had put the President’s life in jeopardy; they denied rumors of illness until he was near death, in July of 1850, 16 months into his presidency. During Grover Cleveland’s second term, in the 1890s, the White House deceived the public by dismissing allegations that surgeons had removed a cancerous growth from the President’s mouth; a vulcanized-rubber prosthesis disguised the absence of much of Cleveland’s upper left jaw and part of his palate. The public knew nothing about the implant until one of the President’s physicians revealed it in 1917, nine

years after Cleveland’s death.” Perhaps the most famous cover-up occurred with Woodrow Wilson. In 1919, during his second term, Wilson embarked on a national tour to promote the World War I peace treaty he had personally negotiated. During the trip, Wilson experienced headaches and fatigue. The tour was aborted, and Wilson returned to the White House, where he suffered a stroke. Wilson’s inner circle, including his wife, doctor, private secretary and even the secretary of state, hid his condition. They told the press and cabinet the president had suffered a nervous breakdown. No one was allowed to see him, not even his vice president. Wilson retired from the White House in 1921 and died three years later. That sequence of events couldn’t happen in today’s saturated media environment. Or could it? John F. Kennedy suffered from multiple health problems. Among the cover-up conspirators was Kennedy’s doctor, Janet Travell, who is credited with the idea of JFK’s rocking chair to ease his back pain and to convey a positive image. Bill Clinton refused to release

his medical records to the public. Barack Obama released a one-page letter from his doctor testifying to his “excellent health.” Both men admitted to using recreational drugs in their youth, though Clinton ludicrously claimed he didn’t inhale. Obama smoked cigarettes. Just as most candidates for high office feel compelled to release their tax returns (Mitt Romney was a rare exception), all candidates, especially candidates for president, should publish their medical records. If Hillary Clinton’s concussion was not serious and there are no concerns about its longterm effects; if the glasses she now wears are not to correct double vision or other lingering symptoms attributed to her fall, then there is no problem. But if the reverse is true and she is covering it up, the public has a right to know and she has a duty to tell us. The media also have an obligation to keep up the pressure until the truth is known. • Cal Thomas’ latest book is “What Works: Common Sense Solutions for a Stronger America” is available in bookstores now.

Man indicted in wire fraud Calif. resident allegedly bilked CL-based nonprofit out of $30K By STEPHEN Di BENEDETTO sdibenedetto@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – A federal grand jury in Rockford indicted a California man Tuesday on charges of defrauding a Crystal Lake-based, international nonprofit, after the man allegedly claimed he was a highly decorated

Navy SEAL who could help save employees kidnapped in Somalia. William J. Burley, 34, of Yucaipa, California, was charged with three counts of wire fraud for a scheme to defraud International Aid Services America, located in Crystal Lake, and International Aid Services, headquartered in Sweden, of $30,000 between

July and October 2012, the U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois said in a news release. Prosecutors said the scheme started after four International Aid Services employees were assaulted and three of them later kidnapped in Somalia. Burley approached the nonprofit in July 2012 and offered to assist with negotiations between the Somalian captors and rescue the captured employees, the federal indictment alleges. Burley also falsely claimed to have been a highly decorated Navy SEAL,

a police officer, and a consultant for the Navy, U.S. Defense Department and State Department, the indictment alleges. Because of Burley’s “false and fraudulent” representation, prosecutors said, International Aid Services sent him three wire transfers, totaling $30,000, from the Crystal Lake Bank and Trust and a bank in Redlands, California, in late August 2012. Each count of wire fraud has a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison. An arraignment date for Burley has not yet been set, prosecutors said.

WOODSTOCK – A City Council meeting Tuesday night gave an early indication that officials might be open to the idea of selling the Sher-

But – during a short discussion of two very different proposals for the properties that came in this month – council members were hesitant to draw conclusions without having laid eyes on the proposals. “I think we have to see the totality of both proposals,” Councilman Mark Saladin said. “I don’t think we should just foreclose the ability to look at it separately, if that’s in the best inter-

District 155 approves District 46 OKs contract budget for 2014-15 for new superintendent First in three years projected to have operational surplus By JEFF ENGELHARDT jengelhardt@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – In a break from tradition, Community High School District 155 approved its 2014-15 budget Tuesday, well ahead of the fall timetable it has followed in the past. The budget is the first one in three years projected to end

with an operational surplus, though the overall budget will still end in a deficit because of debt service and capital fund payments. The $123.2 million budget is a roughly $5.4 million increase over last year. Property tax revenue is expected to increase from $71.3 million to $72.7 million. Operational funds – which include education, operations and maintenance, transportation, retirement benefits and working cash – are projected to end with a $98,527 surplus mostly thanks

McHENRY: CAR CATCHES ON FIRE

CRYSTAL LAKE: FUNDRAISER

Driver killed in single-vehicle crash

Bags tourney to benefit Big Brothers Big Sisters

By EMILY K. COLEMAN ecoleman@shawmedia.com McHENRY – The driver of a car that hit a tree in McHenry and started on fire died at the scene of the accident, police said. John Thomas Oliver IV, 39, of McHenry, died at 5:05 p.m.

Monday from multiple injuries caused by blunt force trauma, McHenry County Coroner Anne Majewski said. McHenry police and the McHenry Township Fire Protection District responded to the 1100 block of Curran Road at 4:42 p.m. Monday to reports of an accident, according to a

news release. A 2008 Pontiac G6 had left the roadway and hit a tree, the release said. The car then started on fire. Oliver had been removed from the car by the time emergency responders arrived, and firefighters treated him and put out the vehicle fire, the release said.

Police are investigating the cause of the crash, and a toxicology report is pending, Majewski said. The McHenry Police Department is requesting that anyone with information contact the department at 815-3632200. Anonymous tips can be left by calling 815-363-2124.

NORTHWEST HERALD CRYSTAL LAKE – The Community Leadership Board for Big Brothers Big Sisters of McHenry County will host a bags tournament June 7 to benefit the agency. The 64-team double elimination tournament will begin at noon at Buffalo Wild Wings, 5755 Northwest Highway, Crystal Lake. Cash prizes will be awarded to the first-, second- and thirdplace teams. The cost for the 2014 Bags for Kids Tournament is $50 a team and $40 for teams that register by May 31. Teams

Bender will start on July 1 with a salary of $170,000 • SUPERINTENDENT Continued from page B1 with the kids on a daily basis is one of the reasons District 46 appealed to him, Bender said. Bender announced his resignation from the 4,400-student district in October. The School District 64 Board is comprised of nearly all new people since he started, and the new board was looking to make its own stamp on the district, Bender said. With his contract expiring at

the end of the year, the board wanted to bring in a new face. Ponga said she’s not nervous about District 64’s decision not to retain Bender. News releases from both District 64 announcing Bender’s resignation and District 46 announcing his hiring highlight his work at District 64, including strengthening student achievement through programs like Project Lead the Way, strong fiscal management, improving labor relations with teachers and shepherding in a one-to-one technology initiative.

Bender will replace current Superintendent Lynette Zimmer, who pointed to a contentious relationship with the school board president as the reason behind her leaving. The district has been rocked by a one-day teacher strike, an upset election that wiped out the old board leadership and sometimes hostile board meetings and communication between board members. Bender and board members have decided to make “mending and working together and making students our primary

goal,” Bender said, adding he has had frank conversations with board members about moving forward. “This board has united in my appointment,” he said. “I’m sure there will be bumps that you climb over and rocks that you uncover, but my goal is to come into the district and do the very best for the children, the staff and the parents.” Bender will start at District 46 on July 1 with a starting salary of $170,000. He makes $193,000 at his current district.

Continued from page B1 to a $2.2 million surplus in the education fund that offsets deficits in the others. Some of the surplus is because of only a slight bump in salary and benefit costs to teachers under the new contract. Salaries and benefits increased from $69.1 million last year to $70.2 in 2014-15, with benefits being reduced by $870,425. Instructional costs also were reduced from $54.7 million to $52.8 million. “This could not have been done without the hard work and sacrifices of staff, who through negotiations helped reduce the district’s overall

salaries and benefits costs and balance the budget in [fiscal] ’15,” wrote assistant superintendent of finance T. Ferrier in a budget summary to the board. The two funds not included in operational costs – debt service and capital projects – still caused an overall deficit, dropping the fund balance from $70.2 million to $65.2 million. The reserves are still well above actuary-suggested ranges. The district has a number of large capital projects planned, including a $1.2 million roof replacement project at Prairie Ridge High School that was also approved Tuesday. District 155 spokesman Jeff Puma said completing the bud-

get process now instead of in the fall gives community members and staff a clear picture of where the district is headed. “The effect is greater transparency both to the community and internally to those employees with budget responsibilities,” Puma said. “By having a budget in place at the start of the school year, our employees will have a better grasp on the available funds and will be able to allocate them more responsibly throughout the fiscal year.” The meeting ended with board member Jim Nelson giving a passionate defense of the board in light of an open meetings violation complaint filed by the teachers’ union to the Illinois Attorney General.

The union’s complaint said the board did not properly indicate it would discuss and later approve administrative raises at a February meeting. The board did not approve any financial commitment, but stated an intent to give raises that would need to be approved once financial terms were offered. Nelson said in his decade with the board, the integrity has never wavered and the focus has always been giving the most challenging and rewarding experience to students in a fiscally responsible manner. He said he was disappointed with the communication and did not appreciate his or the board’s integrity being challenged publicly.

McHENRY: PLAYGROUND RENOVATIONS

Lemonade fundraising going strong in Algonquin

Fort McHenry work to start in fall City OKs project bid at $239,000 By EMILY K. COLEMAN ecoleman@shawmedia.com McHENRY – Renovations to the popular, volunteer-built Fort McHenry playground have been pushed back to the fall. The McHenry City Council approved a $239,000 contract with low bidder William Tonyan & Sons Inc. of McHenry at its meeting Monday. The city had first posted the renovation of the Whispering Oaks playground in February but received no bids. A second posting returned three bids, including one submitted after the 11 a.m. deadline. Because of the delay in awarding the contract, the work will start in late August when kids are back in school instead of during the spring as previously planned, City Administrator Derik Morefield said. “Kids and parents use it all the time, so we didn’t have it torn up over the summer,” he said.

The project will take about five weeks to complete. This is the second time its start date has been pushed back. The plan had been to do the work last summer but the design firm wasn’t available to oversee the construction until late October, which was too late in the construction season. The project was expected to cost about $220,000 and will be paid for using the parks developer donations fund, a collection of development fees charged to residential developers for park improvements. Much of the wood deck, handrails and balusters will be replaced with a composite that resembles wood but will last longer and require less maintenance, according to Deputy City Administrator Bill Hobson. The playground equipment also will be updated to meet current standards, he said. For example, some of the slides that have metal on them will be replaced with all plastic slides. Fort McHenry was built by volunteers in May 1994. It is McHenry’s only wooden playground.

hat do you think of when you think of Memorial Day? Today, many people spend the three-day weekend enjoying barbeques, movies and trips to local beaches and parks.

Standards Link: Reading Comprehension: Follow simple written directions.

However, Memorial Day was started to honor soldiers who died fighting for their country.

Every year, Memorial Day is observed at Arlington National Cemetery with the president or vice-president laying a wreath at the:

Memorial Day was originally a day to honor America’s Civil War dead by decorating their graves. To find out what Memorial Day was originally called, write the letter of the alphabet that comes before each letter in the code.

Complete each math problem to reveal the years these significant events in the history of Memorial Day took place.

After the Civil War, people in several American towns started a tradition of setting aside one day a year to decorate the graves of fallen soldiers.

Following General James Garfield’s speech at Arlington National Cemetery, thousands of participants decorated the graves of the more than 20,000 Union and Confederate soldiers buried in the cemetery.

After World War I, Decoration Day observances were expanded to honor those who had died in all American wars.

Remembering the School Year Write about what you remember most about this school year. What I am going to remember about this school year is the first day of school when I made friends with Sharayla and Kassidy. It started on the bus when I was assigned a seat next to Sharayla. I thought if I was going to sit with her, we might as well become friends. Then at lunchtime, Kassidy accidentally put her elbow in my sandwich! That’s the way Kassidy and I became friends, and that’s what I’m going to remember about the 5th grade. Jessie, 5th grade I remember riding the bus, coming to a real school, and meeting my teacher. I like school and will miss my teacher and friend, but I like the summer too. Anthony, Pre-Kindergarten

Waterloo, N.Y., was designated as the official birthplace of Memorial Day. For 100 years, the town had made Memorial Day an annual, community-wide event during which businesses closed and residents decorated the graves of soldiers with flowers and flags.

Congress declared Memorial Day a national holiday to be observed the last Monday in May.

The thing I remember most about my year at school is making lots of new friends and having fun learning my alphabet. Abigayle, Pre-Kindergarten

I remember the famous Americans we learned about this school year. I liked George Washington the best because he helped make our country not be a part of England. George Washington was in the army and helped fight against England. He died in 1799. Famous Americans are amazing. Daniel, 1st grade What I love in school is library. I love library because I love to read. I like to read because it helps your brain. I love to read chapter books and short stories. I hope people love to read as much as I do! Yvonne, 2nd grade

I will remember lots of stuff but after awhile, I will only remember one thing. What I will remember is playing kickball with my friends. And in summer, I will miss them. I had fun playing with them and next year we can play together. We can take turns going to each others houses in the summer. Cherdan, 2nd grade There are many memories I have of first grade. First, I liked getting a fish for a class pet! Then I will always remember playing with my friends. I liked going to Cici’s Pizza with my teacher. Taylor, 1st grade

What I will remember from my school year is doing homework. I didn’t think Kindergarteners had homework to do. I thought the school year was going to be hard but it was easy to adjust once I got used to all the surroundings and making new friends. I was elected Cardinal of the Week, and Student of the Week. Most of all my teacher has taught me my letter recognition and sounds and sight words. I am able to read and can write sentences and count money now. Rayne, Kindergarten

There are many things I will forget about this school year, but here is one thing I will remember, Famous American Day. I was Benjamin Franklin. Our classroom was filled with information about famous Americans. It was fun answering kid’s questions while I acted like Ben Franklin. I made a kite replica so I could show Benjamin Franklin’s experiment with lightning. It’s a memory that I will never forget. Colton, 2nd grade

JUDGE VOICES CONCERNS ABOUT CASEY KASEM

THINGS

WORTH TALKIN’ ABOUT

Wednesday, May 21, 2014 • Section B • Page 6 Actress Angelina Jolie poses May 6 during a photocall for the film “Maleficent” in Paris. AP file photo

LOS ANGELES – A judge on Tuesday expanded the powers of Casey Kasem’s daughter to determine whether her father is receiving adequate medical care amid his ongoing concerns about the health and welfare of the ailing radio personality. Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Daniel S. Murphy ordered Kasem’s wife, Jean, to comply with court orders allowing doctors to evaluate her husband, and also allow his daughter Kerri to see him.

LOS ANGELES – Angelina Jolie may be Hollywood royalty. But she’s no princess, and has never been a fan of the Disney variety. “I found them quite dull,” the actress says. Evil Maleficent, whom Jolie portrays in Disney’s new live-action spin on its animated classic “Sleeping Beauty,” conversely “seemed to be having a great time,” Jolie said. “[Maleficent] is kind of an anti-hero for the odd man out,” Jolie continued. “And, when she feels abused, or when somebody hurts her, she then says, ‘Oh, all right. You’re going to mess with me? Watch me.’ ” In a recent interview to promote “Maleficent,” which opens May 30, the conversation veered to the celebrities at the Cannes film festival campaigning for the return of the Nigerian schoolgirls kidnapped by Islamic extremist group Boko Haram. “We need to go after [Boko Haram], arrest them, and they need to face justice,” said Jolie, who is known for her worldwide humanitarian efforts. She added, however, that the media shouldn’t focus solely on that issue, but instead continue to report on the array of world horrors, including the continuing plight of millions of refugees suffering in Syria. Last week marked the one-year anniversary of Jolie’s disclosure that she was having a double mastectomy because she carries a genetic mutation that greatly increases her risk of potentially fatal breast cancer. “[I’m] very happy that other women now know that they have that choice,” she commented.

ATLANTA – Rapper Nicki Minaj has asked a federal judge in Atlanta to toss out a lawsuit filed against her by her former wig designer. In a lawsuit filed in February, Terrence Davidson accuses Onika Maraj, who uses the stage name “Nicki Minaj,” and Pink Personality LLC of breaking implied contracts, reneging on discussions to launch a reality TV show and a wig line, and misappropriating his designs. Lawyers for Minaj filed a motion Friday to dismiss the lawsuit, arguing that Davidson failed to state a valid claim. The filing says Davidson “is upset because he lost his most famous client” and is now seeking to force himself into a business relationship.

The town hall-style discussion is called “Stolen Innocence: Your Daughters Are Our Daughters.” It will air Friday night on BET and will be repeated Saturday on the Centric network. It was taped Saturday in Atlanta. Participants include activist-actors Nicole Ari Parker and Tasha Smith, along with singer India.Arie and minister Dr. Bernice King. BET says the special will discuss the problem of human trafficking throughout the world and its impact on communities. It will also include an update from Nigeria on the latest about the missing girls.

Novelist Sam Greenlee dies in Chicago CHICAGO – Poet and novelist Sam Greenlee has died in Chicago at the age of 83. Greenlee was best known for his 1969 novel “The Spook Who Sat by the Door,” later adapted into a political drama movie. His close friend and cast member in the movie, Pemon Rami, says Greenlee died early Monday. Greenlee was one of the first African-AmerSam icans to join the U.S. foreign service.

By RYAN ALTMAN raltman@nwherald.com RICHMOND – Pressing opposing defenses is something the Johnsburg girls soccer team has worked on all season. So, for coach Rob Eastland, it wasn’t a surprise to see them do it again Tuesday night. The Skyhawks (10-9-1) pushed the pace for 80 minutes and earned a 4-2 victory over the Willows Academy

Eagles, advancing to the Class 1A Richmond-Burton Sectional final. Johnsburg will face St. Edward at 6 p.m. Friday. “[Pushing the pace of the game] is something we’ve been doing all season,” Eastland said. “That’s one of the differences, especially when you get into the playoffs.” In the first minute of the game, the Skyhawks’ Taylor Piggott received a lead pass to the corner and then

floated a pass over the defenders to the back post, where teammate Delaney Pruitt headed in her first goal of the game, giving the Skyhawks a 1-0 lead. With 14 minutes remaining in the first half, the Eagles tied the score after Bridget Paschall’s shot bounced off the post and rolled behind Skyhawks goalkeeper Amy Majercik. The Skyhawks responded nine minutes later when Pruitt weaved

through two defenders on the right side of the box and booted a shot toward Eagles goalkeeper Bethy Hunt. Pruitt’s shot ricocheted off Hunt’s hands and into the net, putting the Skyhawks back on top, 2-1. “As soon as I get close to the box, I try to look for a shot,” Pruitt said. “I knew I could beat the girls, so I went for it.”

WESTERN CONFERENCE FINAL

PR takes team title with ease

The Golden Age

Wolves’ Dzurisin surprise champion at No. 2 singles By ROB SMITH rsmith@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – No one was more surprised at winning an individual boys tennis title at the Fox Valley Conference Tournament than Prairie Ridge’s Hayden Dzurisin. In the No. 2 singles final, Dzurisin beat Jacobs’ Kendrick Chong, the No. 1 seed, 7-5, 2-6, 1311. Third sets were decided by a 10-point super tiebreaker. Chong was undefeated in the FVC and beat Dzurisin decidedly in their Valley Division dual, giving up just one game. In the first set, Chong was up 4-1 and Dzurisin said he thought he might be in for more of the same. “At first, I was like ‘This is going to be another blowout,’ ” Dzurisin said. Dzurisin rallied to take the first set after deciding to just start hitting through the ball and not worrying about the outcome. Chong took the second to set up a marathon super tiebreaker. Dzurisin fended off two consecutive match points for Chong and finally won on his third match point. “I was in shock. I really didn’t think I could pull it off,” Dzurisin said. “I really didn’t care if I won or lost. I was just proud that I got that far.” Dzurisin was one of six title winners for the Wolves, who won the team championship with 108 points, two shy of the maximum. Also winning titles were Aaditya Rawal at No. 3 singles and in doubles, Danny VanBosch and Matt Cox at No. 1, Matt Altman and Garrett Locher (No. 2), Andy Park and Jared Priesz (No. 3) and Joey Weissmann and Steve Diklich (No. 4).

By ALEX KANTECKI akantecki@shawmedia.com HUNTLEY – The Huntley girls soccer team watched its Fox Valley Conference Valley Division title dreams fade away after a loss to co-division champion Crystal Lake South on May 8. It was the Red Raiders’ second

loss in conference, ultimately placing them a game behind South and Prairie Ridge for the division crown. On Tuesday, Huntley channeled the disappointment of finishing one win short en route to a 5-0 win against Jacobs in a Class 3A Huntley Regional semifinal. Officials called the match two minutes into the second half after a

second lightning delay. The first interruption came immediately after halftime, causing an extra 30-minute delay between halves. The Raiders (16-6) will play the winner of South and DundeeCrown, whose semifinal was rescheduled for 5 p.m. Wednesday, in the regional final Saturday. “I don’t think they [the players]

GIRLS SOCCER: CLASS 2A DEERFIELD REGIONAL

Benhart’s goal sends CLC to title match By JEFF ARNOLD jarnold@shawmedia.com DEERFIELD – In that instant when a goal-scoring opportunity presents itself, it’s not uncommon for Sarah Benhart to blank out and fall into a competitive trance. But in a moment of clarity Tuesday night, the Crystal Lake Central senior knew if she didn’t make the most of her chance, it could mean the sudden end not only to the Tigers season, but to her playing career. So after poking the ball away from a Grayslake Central defender, Benhart took one step and launched a shot

toward the net. Her goal with 11:29 remaining in regulation proved to be the game-winner in Central’s 2-0 Class 2A Deerfield Regional semifinal victory. “It was just a good moment,” Benhart said of a shot that sailed over the head of Grayslake Central goalkeeper Lauren Spalding. “I just tried as best as I could for my team and for all the seniors. It seemed to work out.” Stacie Wolfgram finished the win with a goal with just five seconds remaining to propel the Tigers (11-4-1) into Saturday’s 11 a.m. regional championship against host and No. 2- seeded Deerfield. Benhart’s goal broke a scoreless

Scoreboard Tuesday’s semifinals Deerfield 8, Chicago Senn 0 Crystal Lake Central 2, Grayslake Central 0 Saturday’s championship (2) Deerfield vs. (7) CL Central, 11 a.m. drought in what had been a second half full of opportunities. For every shot attempt that sailed high or just wide or every crossing pass that just missed its target, Central couldn’t manage to finish. Tigers coach Jay Schwarzrock had told his players at halftime that he

needed a harder push than they had given over the first 40 minutes. The increased effort led to more chances, even if they didn’t result in a go-ahead goal. After Grayslake Central mounted a miniflurry of scoring chances with less than 15 minutes to play, though, Benhart came up with a steal that turned into the goal Central had been looking for. And with one perfectly placed shot, Benhart swung the game in Central’s direction. “That’s four years of a varsity player seeing her moment,” Schwarzrock said. “I hope she remembers that.” With the first postseason step out of

the way, the Tigers must get past Deerfield for a regional championship. The Warriors advanced to Saturday’s title game with an 8-0 win over Chicago Senn in Tuesday night’s other regional semifinal. The challenge, Schwarzrock acknowledges, won’t be easy, especially against a team that plays a tight possession style. Whether the Tigers can get into sync and play with the kind of effort Schwarzrock is looking for over a complete 80 minutes will, he said, dictate how good Central’s chances of advancing to Sectionals will be. Tuesday was a step in the right direction.

Scoreboard

sports@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – As the No. 1 seed in the Class 2A Marian Central Regional and the coFox Valley Conference Fox Division girls soccer champion, Woodstock had a target on its back going into the postseason. The Blue Streaks took on No. 4 seed Woodstock North to open the regional and quickly put the match away in a 7-0 victory. Woodstock (15-4) moves on to Friday’s regional final against the winner of Wednesday’s game against No. 2 seed Belvidere North and third-seeded Marian Central. Woodstock quickly got on the board less than eight minutes into the match on a goal by Mary Grace Mathison. Mallory Bellairs added a goal 14 minutes later to give the Blue Streaks a 2-0 lead followed by a Brecken Overly goal with 10 minutes to play in the first half for a 3-0 halftime advantage. The Blue Streaks came out with even more urgency in the second half and got two quick goals from Emma Thill three minutes apart to make it 5-0. Allie Behrens scored five minutes after Thill’s second goal to make it 6-0, and 99 seconds later, Kirsten Schriener put one past North keeper Kristin Lemke to make it 7-0, which allowed the second half time to be cut in half. “We played North in the regular season for a conference game, so we knew what they had coming in,” Woodstock coach Mike Golda said. “We were ready to play a possession game. We practiced a lot of possession the last week,

We wanted to be able to play possession and counterattack off our possession, and I think the ladies did a great job of that.” The pressure is now on Woodstock after losing in the regional final last season to Prairie Ridge, and Golda said that is motivation for the Blue Streaks moving forward, being the hunted instead of the hunter this year. “That’s exactly what I told the girls in the huddle. We’re the No. 1 seed and it feels different to get that 7-0 win now versus when Prairie Ridge did that to a lot of our seniors,” Golda said. “I told them that we have to practice what we did well [today] and improve on that.” For the Thunder, who finished the season 0-20, the season begins a long chapter of building the program. North coach Lauren Farley said this season has been one that has seen some improvement. “We have a young and inexperienced team, so it’s a learning experience,” Farley said. “Finally the last few weeks, we have been playing well together and working out things as a team and improving on the little mistakes, so we can improve in the future.”

ccasey@shawmedia.com LAKE VILLA – Prairie Ridge came into Tuesday’s Class 2A Lakes Regional semifinal against Chicago Resurrection knowing it needed to focus on what has gotten the Wolves to this point. The Wolves (12-6-1) shook off some early nerves, scoring once in each half to beat Resurrection, 2-0, in a match that featured a lot of rain and was eventually called because of lightning with 8 minutes to play. Prairie Ridge will play Lakes in the championship match at 11 a.m. Saturday. “The conditions obviously weren’t the best,” Wolves coach JC Brown said. “But it is what it is. The girls have to stay focused and still execute our game plan.” The game went scoreless for the first 20 minutes before lightning was spotted, forcing an almost 45-minute delay before action got back underway. Three minutes after play resumed, Prairie Ridge’s Erin Ginsberg found the end of a clearance by freshman defender Gabby Fanning, leading her to a breakaway, which she fired past Bandits goalkeeper Kendra Brown “It can be hard to stay focused in a game like that,” Fanning said. “I usually be-

come more focused in those situations.” Resurrection (6-10-1) had few scoring opportunities, in large part because of Fanning and the Wolves’ defensive effort. “As a freshman on varsity, I have a lot of experienced players around me,” Fanning said. “They usually help calm my nerves, so I can play a game like tonight as if it were just any other game.” The Wolves took a 1-0 lead into halftime. Two minutes into the second half, Larissa Dooley played a ball through the Bandits defense, finding senior Allyson Walsh. Walsh beat a defender, then beat Brown to double the Prairie Ridge lead “The first game of the playoffs always brings nerves and, once we shook them off, I think we played well,” JC Brown said. “We tried to keep things simple and play twotouch, and once we settled down, we executed enough to get the win.”

HARVARD ATHLETICS

Board now will vote on move By JON STYF jstyf@shawmedia.com At April’s school board meeting, Harvard Principal Rob Zielinski said the board didn’t need to vote for his school to leave the Big Northern Conference. On Wednesday, the board will vote on specifically that. It’s likely a formality because the school was sched-

uled to inform the BNC on May 8 that it is leaving, along with four other schools. But the vote will now take place, as the move appeared on a Harvard School District 50 board agenda for the first time this week. The agenda item states “SUPERINTENDENT RECOMMENDATION: I move to forgo the reading of and approve the resolution to conference

membership from the Big Northern Conference to the Kishwaukee River Conference starting July of 2016.” Zielinski and Harvard athletic director Matt Rife informed the board that Harvard would be joining Marengo, Woodstock, Woodstock North and Burlington Central in the Kishwaukee River Conference at its last meeting April 16. The four

other school voted on the matter at April board meetings. “We’ve had a lot of discussions [about the conference] with our board for a couple of years,” Zielinski said after that meeting after stating that District 50’s lawyer said the board did not have to vote on the matter. “Every time we tell them, they say, ‘OK, that makes sense.’ ”

McHenry dominates after weather delay By TIM SIECK

Scoreboard

sports@nwherald.com CARY – When a team gets off to a slow start in most sports, the coach can call a timeout to make adjustments or give their team that motivational pep talk they may need. In soccer, any such adjustment can’t be made until halftime. On Tuesday, McHenry and Round Lake were given an extra break when lightning was spotted with 16:35 remaining in the first half. The Warriors took full advantage of the break. McHenry scored three goals in an 11-minute span after the 38-minute lightning delay to lead the top-seeded Warriors to a weather-shortened 5-0 victory over Round Lake in the semifi-

Three minutes after the weather delay, Avalon Senn-Raemont banked one in off the left goal post to put McHenry (13-7) up, 1-0. Just under 10 minutes later it was Senn-Raemont again to give the Warriors a 2-0 lead. The final goal of the first half was

scored by Alexis Morales with 2:29 left in the half. The second half was much of the same for McHenry. Senn-Raemont scored her third goal of the match to complete the hat trick with 25 minutes remaining. Sophomore Kaitie Mindick would finish the scoring to put the Warriors up 5-0. A second round of lightning was spotted with 21:48 remaining in the second half. The remainder of the match was called off after a conference between officials and coaches. McHenry was again led by its seniors. “We didn’t start out that well, but coach motivated us during the first delay and I knew we would start playing the way we normally do,” Senn-Raemont

said. “As a senior at this point of the season any game could be my last. I’m not ready for the season to be over.” Warriors coach Greg Eiserman wasn’t surprised his team got out to a sluggish start. “It was kind of predictable to get off to a slow start,” Eiserman said. “We are playing a team we didn’t know and had to get a feel for them. During the weather break, I told the team to play like the team that earned the top seed. Play our way and do what we do. We ended up doing that and move on to play another day”. McHenry will play the winner of Grant and Cary-Grove, which was moved to 5 p.m. Wednesday because of weather.

Red Raiders set tone with goal 4 minutes in • HUNTLEY Continued from page C1 as a team, we felt like we could win both of those games. The level has been pushed.” The playoff level that Grabner described was on full display for the entirety of the shortened 42-minute match. First-seeded Huntley applied heavy offensive pressure from the opening whistle, scoring four minutes in after the Golden Eagles (2-13) failed to clear the ball after the Raiders’ second corner kick of the game.

Senior defender Abigail Nordeen trickled in the loose ball past goalkeeper Thea Robinson (nine saves) in a crowded goal box to make it 1-0, and the Raiders never let up. Sophomore forward Taryn Jakubowski recorded Huntley’s second goal with 23:12 remaining in the first half after racing 30 yards down the sideline with a Jacobs defender close behind, before knocking in the ball off the far post. Senior midfielder Jessica Helm then made it 3-0 with 13:20 left on the clock, beating Robin-

son on a shot down the middle off an assist from Jakubowski. “It’s the playoffs now and we have to realize every game is magnified,” Helm said. “We’re trying to get to state this year. We’re really pushing. “Practices have been hard. Practices have been really focused. We’re pumped too. We want to go far.” The Raiders scored their final two goals with less than four minutes left in the first half. Junior forward Deanna Hecht and Helm both connected on one-timers with assists

from Alyssa Kaufman and Beth Parks. Grabner said he wished the match could have been continued. “My feeling is that every team needs a shot in the second half,” Grabner said. “I’m not counting them [Jacobs] out. We were playing good soccer, but that doesn’t mean that they can’t come out and make a charge. “It’s just a shame. I wouldn’t want our season to end that way, and I feel bad for the girls at Jacobs.”

Both teams’ games suspended By JOE STEVENSON joestevenson@shawmedia.com Huntley and Jacobs, who are vying for the Fox Valley Conference Valley Division baseball championship, played 14½ innings in their respective games Tuesday and decided nothing. Both Huntley and Jacobs, tied at 13-4 in FVC games with two remaining games, wound up tied in their Tuesday games, which were suspended because of bad weather and will be completed Thursday. Huntley was tied with Crystal Lake South at 3 heading into the bottom of the sixth inning at Huntley when thunder and lightning forced a delay. After a 45-minute delay, the teams were back on the field, ready for play when more lightning forced suspension of the game. They will finish at 4:30 p.m. Thursday in Huntley. Huntley also plays at 4:30 p.m. Wednesday at DundeeCrown. Jacobs and D-C were tied at 2 after eight innings Tuesday in Carpentersville when lightning and darkness forced the suspension. The resumption of that game will start at 4:15 p.m. Thursday at D-C. Huntley and South were breezing through their game after the Red Raiders’ Brandon Altergott led off with a home run and Tommy Kiriakopoulos added a two-run homer in the first. South managed to tie the score with a walk, a pair of hits and an error in the top of the sixth.

“This is kind of like a regional game because it means a lot for them,” said Gators coach Brian Bogda, whose team has been eliminated from the division race. “It’s a great atmosphere for us to prepare for the regional coming up next week.” South pitchers Mike Avella and Jim Fischer had faced the minimum number of batters, allowing one single, after Kiriakopoulos’ homer. Huntley starter Mason Martin threw 45 pitches through five innings and allowed one hit. “He was outstanding and we played good defense behind him for five innings,” Huntley coach Andy Jakubowski said. Nick Constantino relieved Mason and threw one pitch for a ground out to end the sixth. Thunder forced the suspension before Huntley came to bat. “It’s exciting, it gives you a playoff atmosphere,” Jakubowski said of this week. “Guys are in a little bit of a grind right now and it gives them something to play for. There’s a lot of positives that go into this and it helps you get prepared for regional and sectional.” Jacobs was trailing D-C, 2-1, in the sixth when Matt Kozlak homered to tie the score. Reliever Ryan George worked out of a bases-loaded, one-out jam in the bottom of the seventh with a ground ball and a strikeout. D-C’s Riley Alvarado was 2 for 3 with an RBI and Ahren Ludwig allowed three hits through eight innings with nine strikeouts.

Skyhawks’ defense tightens in 2nd half • JOHNSBURG Continued from page C1 Pruitt scored two goals. “She played a great game,” Eastland said. “I thought every girl that went up top, ran and caused some problems. “[Delaney’s] always going to be someone where you give her half a chance, and she’s going to bury it.” The Skyhawks’ defense allowed just eight shots on goal, two in the second half. The defense’s performance was something Majercik said was crucial to her own performance. “[The defense] actually

helped me a lot today,” Majercik said. “[The Eagles] didn’t get many shots off and they got every ball out that they could.” Johnsburg added to its one-goal lead eight minutes into the second, when Piggott beat an Eagles defender and found a clearing, launching a shot past Hunt. Skyhawks forward Tiffany Maggioncalda also scored late for Johnsburg. Eagles forward Sarah Carter tallied the last goal of the match after another shot off the post beat Majercik. Majercik finished with six saves.

IHSA Executive Director Marty Hickman speaks with reporters Tuesday before testifying at a state House committee hearing at the Illinois State Capitol in Springfield.

IHSA HEARINGS

IHSA defends itself to House committee By JEFF ARNOLD jarnold@shawmedia.com In what could be the first of three hearings of its kind, Illinois High School Association Executive Director Marty Hickman sat in front of panel of state lawmakers Tuesday, asked to defend his organization’s practices. With questions ranging from how much money IHSA administrators make to whether the IHSA’s Board of Directors is racially diverse enough, Tuesday’s hearing in Springfield appears to be just the start of conversations between lawmakers and the state’s high school sports governing body. State Rep. Linda Chapa LaVia, D-Aurora, said she would like to see at least two more hearings take place – with one likely in Chicago and the other downstate. While Hickman told committee members he was always happy to meet with the House Elementary and Secondary Education Committee that Chapa LaVia chairs, he questioned whether Tuesday’s hearing was entirely necessary. “I think this could have been done with a simple phone call,” Hickman told the panel. At the center of Tuesday’s hearing was the issue of the level of transparency the IHSA has shown while managing high school sports for more than 800 schools statewide. Because of its not-for-profit status, the IHSA – which operated last year on a budget of almost $11 million – is not required to divulge where its money comes from or how it is spent beyond the tax form 990. Chapa LaVia has called into question some of the exclusive contracts the IHSA has with vendors and other suppli-

ers, including one for exclusive broadcast rights for state tournament games. Hickman has said in the past that he believes the IHSA is transparent enough, putting links to yearly audits and annual reports on its website. But Don Craven, an attorney who represents the Illinois Press Association (of which the Northwest Herald is a member) and Illinois Broadcaster’s Association, said Tuesday that because the IHSA oversees sports and other activities being operated at public schools and receives money from IHSA-sponsored tournaments, it owes the public more information. Hickman disagrees, saying during the hearing that the IHSA does not receive any direct funding from the state. That in itself, Craven argues, doesn’t matter. “They are imposing their policy decisions on public school districts, and shouldn’t we see how those policies are made?” Craven said in a phone interview Tuesday afternoon. “It’s not just the money. It’s also the policies of the organization that are then imposed on the school districts and I think there needs to be some openness in that process as well.” Both the IPA and IBA have been supporters of Chapa LaVia’s House Resolution 895, which led to a 55-51 vote among state representatives in April, approving legislative hearings. Republican lawmakers have argued that legislators should be spending time on more important educational issues and have referred to questioning the IHSA’s practices as a waste of lawmakers’ time. On Tuesday, IHSA supporters continued to paint the organization as one that does

right by Illinois high school students and athletes while also running with a balanced budget and funding its own pension. In Tuesday’s hearing, Hickman reiterated that the IHSA turned $2.7 million back to schools, while the six or seven revenue sports the IHSA oversees pays for the nearly two dozen nonrevenue sports – like bowling and bass fishing – that the IHSA offers as a way of providing opportunities for more students. At least one member of the panel – State Rep. John Cavaletto, R-Salem – was impressed with the way the IHSA conducts its business. “You spend less than you take in,” Cavaletto said to Hickman during the hearing. “I wish we could do that here.” Hickman also took issue with a Chicago Sun-Times report over the weekend that stated IHSA officials received a 21 percent pay increase between the 2011-12 school year and the 2012-13 school year. Hickman, who called the report “100 percent wrong,” told the panel that the IHSA doesn’t have to apologize for what officials in his office make. The report, however, came directly from Line 15 (salaries, other compensation, employee benefits) of the organizations’ 2013 tax form 990, which states that the organization paid out $2,541,323 in 2011-12 and then $3,076,721 in 2012-13. Where the process goes from here is unknown. Even with the ground that was covered, including discussions of possibly moving the IHSA’s premier event – the boys basketball state tournament – to Chicago, Craven said there is plenty more to discuss. “I think it’s the beginning of a process,” he said. “There are probably some issues that haven’t been addressed.”

Jacobs’ Panchapakesan SOFTBALL: CLASS 1A WESTMINSTER CHRISTIAN REGIONAL Rain makes Alden-Hebron wait earns No. 1 singles title Scoreboard By MEGHAN MONTEMURRO

• TENNIS Continued from page C1 VanBosch and Cox had a rough end to their season and were not playing well heading into the tournament as the No. 4 seed. A change in attitude was all they needed. “We were taking it too seriously because it’s our senior year,” Cox said. “We just went out today and had fun.” In the semifinals, VanBosch and Cox beat Jacobs’ Riley Rowan and Matt Toomire, the No. 1 seed and in the championship they defeated McHenry’s Nick Higgin and Jake Maher. “We were trying to stay loose,” Van Bosch said. “I think we definitely figured it out today.” Wolves coach Jim Benson said he was happy to

see the turnaround for his top doubles team but was concerned going into the tournament. “I thought they were going to be nervous and wanting to do their best, which can lead to mental errors,” Benson said. “We need to stay light and have fun.” Jacobs sophomore Kailash Panchapakesan won his first FVC title at No. 1 singles, defeating Hampshire’s Elisha Hougland, 6-1, 3-6, 10-7, in the finals. Panchapakesan lost to Hougland in last year’s championship. “I knew it would be a tough match going in and it was,” Panchapakesan said. Jacobs was second with 93 points followed by Cary-Grove (82), Grayslake Central (78), Huntley (72), Grayslake North (71) and Crystal Lake South (70).

EAST DUNDEE – The Alden-Hebron softball team will have to wait an extra day to try to advance to Saturday’s Class 1A Westminster Christian Regional final. The Giants’ regional semifinal game Tuesday at East Dundee Jockey Field against host Westminster Christian was suspended until 4:30 p.m. Wednesday because of lightning and impending rain. The game will resume in the bottom of the third with A-H batting with one out and a runner on second while holding a 2-1 lead. With the way the Giants

After Westminster took a 1-0 lead in the top of the first inning on a ground out to

Warriors pitcher Rachel Fugiel couldn’t throw home in time to get Brown. The Giants added another run in the first on Hannah Behrens’ infield RBI single, and she advanced to second on a throwing error. Giants starting pitcher Kasandra Clauss shut down the Warriors in the second and third innings, aided by a nice double play at first base from Behrens to end the top of the third.

Noteworthy No introduction needed: CaryGrove and Crystal Lake South won’t need to spend much time studying their regional semifinal opponent. No. 2-seeded C-G and the No. 3-seeded Gators meet for the fourth time this season in Tuesday’s Class 4A Cary-Grove Regional semifinal. South leads the season series, 2-1, but not much has separated the two teams. The Gators have outscored the Trojans, 17-14, in their three total games this season with two of the three games being decided by two runs. South has won two consecutive games against C-G, but the Trojans will have the comfort and advantage of playing on their home field as regional hosts. FVC titles locked up: With its win Monday against Crystal Lake South, McHenry secured at least a share of the Fox Valley Conference Valley Division title. Although the Warriors (9-2 FVC Valley) have one FVC Valley match left, against Jacobs on Wednesday, second-place Prairie Ridge, which sits at 9-3, has finished its FVC Valley schedule and can tie McHenry if the Warriors lose to Jacobs. Hampshire already clinched a share of the FVC Fox title but couldn’t win the title outright after a tough loss Tuesday. The WhipPurs wasted an opportunity on the road at Grayslake North, losing 2-0 despite a strong start from pitcher Haley Widmayer. Widmayer didn’t allow an earned run and struck out six. Hampshire finished 10-2 in the Fox and tied for first place with Grayslake Central.

This week’s top games McHenry at Jacobs 4:30 p.m. Wednesday A rescheduled game from last week, the Warriors have a chance to finish FVC Valley play with a 10-2 record if they can earn the win at Jacobs. Hampshire at Jacobs 4:30 p.m. Thursday Both teams get a good test in FVC crossover action. The middle of the Whip-Purs’ and Golden Eagles’ lineups can hit with any team in the area. Crystal Lake Central at Prairie Ridge 4:30 p.m. Thursday An FVC crossover game, it represents a good challenge for both teams heading into next week’s regional games.

Ex-Bears, others sue NFL over painkillers McMahon, Van Horne, Dent among group of retired players By BEN NUCKOLS The Associated Press

AP file photo

Bears quarterback, Jim McMahon (right) bumps helmets with Keith Van Horne during Super Bowl XX on Jan. 26, 1986, in New Orleans. A group of retired NFL players, including McMahon and Van Horne, says in a lawsuit filed Tuesday that the league illegally supplied them with risky narcotics and other painkillers that numbed their injuries for games and led to medical complications down the road.

WASHINGTON – Opening another legal attack on the NFL over the long-term health of its athletes, a group of retired players accused the league in a lawsuit Tuesday of cynically supplying them with powerful painkillers and other drugs that kept them in the game but led to serious complications later in life. The lawsuit, which seeks unspecified damages on behalf of more than 500 ex-athletes, charges the NFL with putting profits ahead of players’ health. To speed injured athletes’ return to the field, team doctors and trainers dispensed drugs illegally, without obtaining prescriptions or warning of the possible side effects, the plaintiffs contend. Some football players said they were never told they had broken bones and were instead fed pills to mask the pain. One said that instead of surgery, he was given anti-inflammatory drugs and ex-

cused from practices so he could play in games. NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy, in Atlanta for the league’s spring meetings, said: “We have not seen the lawsuit, and our attorneys have not had an opportunity to review it.” The case comes less than a year after the NFL agreed to pay $765 million to settle lawsuits from thousands of retired players who accused it of concealing the risks of concussions. A federal judge has yet to approve the settlement, expressing concern the amount is too small. The athletes in the concussion case blamed dementia and other health problems on the bone-crushing hits that helped lift pro football to new heights of popularity. The new lawsuit was filed in federal court in San Francisco and names eight players as plaintiffs, including three members of the NFL champion 1985 Bears: quarterback Jim McMahon, Hall of Fame defensive end Richard

Dent and offensive lineman Keith Van Horne. More than 500 other former players have signed on, according to lawyers, who are seeking class-action status for the case. Six of the plaintiffs also took part in the concussion-related litigation, including McMahon and Van Horne. “The NFL knew of the debilitating effects of these drugs on all of its players and callously ignored the players’ long-term health in its obsession to return them to play,” said Steven Silverman, an attorney for the players. As a result of masking their pain with drugs, players developed heart, lung and nerve ailments; kidney failure; and chronic injuries to muscles, bones and ligaments, the lawsuit alleges. According to the lawsuit, players were routinely given drugs that included narcotic painkillers Percodan, Percocet and Vicodin, anti-inflammatories such as Toradol, and sleep aids such as Ambien.

Kyle Turley, who played for three teams in his eight-year career, said drugs were “handed out to us like candy.” “There was a room set up near the locker room and you got in line,” Turley said. “Obviously, we were grown adults and we had a choice. But when a team doctor is saying this will take the pain away, you trust them.” McMahon said he suffered a broken neck and ankle during his career, but instead of sitting out, he received medication and was pushed back onto the field. Team doctors and trainers never told him about the injuries, according to the lawsuit. McMahon also became addicted to painkillers, at one point taking more than 100 Percocet pills a month, the lawsuit stated. Van Horne played an entire season on a broken leg and wasn’t told about the injury for five years, “during which time he was fed a constant diet of pills to deal with the pain,” according to the lawsuit.

INDYCAR

ABC reaches milestone 50th Indy 500 telecast By DAVE SKRETTA The Associated Press Strolling casually through the storied grounds of Indianapolis Motor Speedway this week, Scott Goodyear kept getting stopped by fans clutching a photograph and hoping for an autograph. It was the same photo every time: That iconic image of the finish line in 1992, when he finished second to Al Unser Jr. by a fraction of a second in the Indianapolis 500. “I think it still resonates,” he said, “because so many people remember seeing it on TV.” Indeed, the closest finish in race history remains one of the most memorable moments in a marriage between the Indianapolis 500 and ABC that will celebrate its 50th anniversary Sunday – right along with Danny Sullivan’s infamous spinand-win, A.J. Foyt’s triumphs

and the year that Danica Patrick became the first woman to lead a lap. What began as a simple, black-and-white highlights package in 1965 on the seminal “Wide World of Sports” program has grown into one of the marquee events in ABC’s sports portfolio, and a test ground for innovations such as in-car cameras that are now common in auto racing coverage. Rich Feinberg, ESPN’s vice president in charge of motorsports production, said the event is among those few “special opportunities.” “When we work the Indy 500,” Feinberg said, “we’re entrusted with it. We’re entrusted with taking this monumental event and bringing it to viewers around the world. It’s one that’s been around 100-plus years, and you have a special sense of responsibility when you work on a project like this.”

Irsay said Indianapolis will bid again. “Before, we had to lose one to get one,” he said, noting Indy fell short in previous bids before landing the 2012 game. “It will take persistence and we know we have the type of people who will be that.” New Orleans was considered the favorite and has staged the Super Bowl 10 times, tied with South Florida for the most. Its bid might have been damaged by the blackout that interrupted the 2013 title game. Next year’s game is in Glendale, Arizona, followed by Santa Clara, California, for the 50th Super Bowl, then Houston. Earlier at their spring meetings, NFL owners tabled any vote expanding the

BELMONT STAKES

‘Chrome’ arrives in N.Y. for shot at Triple Crown The ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK – California Chrome arrived Tuesday in New York to begin preparations for his bid to become horse racing’s first Triple Crown winner in 36 years. The Kentucky Derby and Preakness winner arrived at Belmont Park after an uneventful four-hour journey by van from Baltimore. He was backed off the van – he doesn’t like walking straight off like most horses – and then led into the barn by assistant trainer Alan Sherman. California Chrome walked several laps around the barn before being taken outside to pose on the grass for a media horde. He later settled into his stall. “He likes to stand out here and pose,” Sherman said. “He loves to get his picture taken. He’s a very inquisitive horse. He’s always checking out what’s going on around him. He’s actually been so straightforward to train; he’s made our jobs easy.”

playoffs to 14 teams. There is strong sentiment among the owners to add a wild-card team in each conference to the postseason, most likely beginning in 2015. Under such a setup only the team with the best record in each conference will get a week off at the beginning of the playoffs. New York Giants owner John Mara, who is against adding more playoff teams, said the topic probably will come up for more discussion in October. “I don’t think it’s a sure thing at all,” Mara said of going to 14 playoff teams. “It’s probably more likely than not, but nothing is set in stone. There was no straw poll taken. ... I think it’s good the way we have it.”

California Chrome will start training on the track daily beginning Wednesday. The 3-year-old colt is set to run in the Belmont Stakes on June 7. He owns a six-race winning streak, including the Derby by 1¾ lengths and the Preakness by 1½ lengths. No horse has swept the Derby, Preakness and Belmont since Affirmed in 1978. “I think the industry could really use a Triple Crown winner right now, especially with a story like this,” Sherman said. “This horse didn’t cost a ton of money to buy him or breed him. This goes to show you never know what can happen in this game.” Sherman assists his 77-year-old father, Art, who returned to Southern California after the Preakness. The elder Sherman plans to reunite with his horse and son the week before the Belmont. “I’m so proud of my dad for him to be able to do this towards the end of his career,” Alan Sherman said. “He’s very deserving.”

ATLANTA – Minneapolis will host the 2018 Super Bowl after a vote by owners Tuesday rewarded the city for its new stadium deal. The owners chose Minneapolis and the $1 billion stadium planned for the site of the old Metrodome to host the championship over New Orleans and Indianapolis. “It’s been 10 years and we’ve always been driving to build a stadium,” Vikings owner Zygi Wilf said. “We can rejoice right now for being rewarded this, but the hard work comes now.” New Orleans bid committee members believed the new Minneapolis stadium, set to open in 2016, swung the vote. The stadium will hold up to 72,000 for the Super Bowl. “The new stadium was absolutely the deciding factor,” Jay Cicero said. “Any time that there is so much public support for a $1 billion stadium, the NFL owners are impressed. “We did everything we were supposed to do, had a fantastic presentation. In the end we think the stadium did it.” The big game will be staged in the Twin Cities for the second time. It was there in 1992, when Washington beat Buffalo. “It extends our calendar,” bid chairwoman Marilyn Carlson Nelson said. “We can demonstrate to people they can have a fantastic time in Minnesota. We really like a party with a purpose.” Owners needed four ballots to choose Minneapolis, with Indianapolis the first city eliminated. Indy was praised for a highly successful 2012 Super Bowl, but could have been hurt by the recent legal troubles of Colts owner Jim Irsay. Irsay underwent treatment after he was arrested and accused of having $29,000 in cash and bottles of prescription drugs in his car. He made his first public

Tanaka’s unbeaten streak stopped by Cubs CHICAGO – Masahiro Tanaka had his regular-season unbeaten streaked snapped at 42, allowing a career-high four runs in six innings, and the Cubs beat the New York Yankees 6-1 on Tuesday night. The Cubs honored the retiring Derek Jeter before the game, then handed Tanaka his first loss in nine major league starts. Tanaka (6-1) had been 34-0 in Japan and North America the last two seasons. He did drop Game 6 of the Japan Series last year before earning the save in Game 7. He hadn’t lost a regular-season game since the Seibu Lions beat the Rakuten Golden Eagles on Aug. 19, 2012. Jason Hammel (5-2) pitched solid ball into the sixth and Hector Rondon retired Jeter on a grounder with the bases loaded in the ninth to end it. – The Associated Press for the Yankees. He also is their only 20-year player. “He is the ultimate, consummate professional,” Cubs manager Rick Renteria said. “Always solid preparation, and I think a solid mindset. He stuck around the league for a long time, and he’s a Hall of Famer, obviously. That hasn’t happened by accident. He’s been gifted with probably a very great mind, a great sense of the game, a great work ethic. Those are just things we think we see from the outside.’’ Getting a part of Wrigley Field brought back memories for Jeter of growing up in Kalamazoo, Michigan. “I remember my last day of high school, we drove here with my class,” he said. “Unfortunately, I only played here once [a three-games series in 2003 in which he went 2-for-11]. But I’m a baseball historian, so I appreciate the fact there’s a lot of history that comes along with the ballpark, and I’m glad I get an opportunity to be here.”

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Adam Dunn hit a three-run homer and the White Sox defeated the Kansas City Royals 7-6 on Tuesday night. Andre Rienzo (4-0) limited the Royals to two runs and five hits over six innings. He struck out a career-high eight. The Royals’ record dropped to 5-15 against American League Central opponents. Gordon Beckham and Conor Gillaspie, who each had three hits, singled before Dunn homered in the eighth off right-hander Aaron Crow, who had allowed two three-run homers in his past two appearances. Beckham has hit safely in 13 of his past 15 games, while Gillaspie increased his average to .347. Royals rookie right-hander Yordano Ventura (2-4) took the loss, allowing four runs and seven hits, including a Tyler Flowers home run, in six innings. – The Associated Press

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The White Sox remained noncommittal and continued with the company line of “caution above all else” in the ongoing process of getting ace Chris Sale back. Sale threw a light bullpen session of fewer than 30 pitches Tuesday and remains on track for a possible start against the visiting New York Yankees this weekend. Sale, on the disabled list with a flexor muscle strain, hasn’t pitched since he threw a career-high 127 pitches April 17 against the Chris Sale Boston Red Sox. He threw four dominating innings (68 pitches) in a Class AAA rehab start Friday. “It’s always light with Chris, it’s never hard,” pitching coach Don Cooper said of Sale’s workout. “If he’s going to pitch 210, 220 innings, we’re not going to pile up a lot of hard work and innings in the bullpens. “Touch and feel is the best way to describe it.” Sale, who did not comment, appeared to be in good spirits. After his workout and a brief chat with Cooper, he ran from the bullpen beyond right field to the thirdbase dugout, raising his arms as he stepped off the field. He said Monday that he is ready and would love to pitch this weekend. “It could be,” manager Robin Ventura said. “He threw free and easy enough to be able to be one of those guys. How early, today is too early to say that. Seeing how he feels going through tonight and tomorrow, we’ll

make a decision based on that.” The Sox do not have their probable starters listed for the Yankees series. Saturday would be rookie Scott Carroll’s turn, but Carroll (1-3, 6.49 ERA) has had three rough starts after two good ones. The newest Sox: Javy Guerra, promoted to take Matt Lindstrom’s spot in the bullpen, was 1-1 with a 2.33 ERA and three saves for Class AAA Charlotte. The 28-year-old, claimed off waivers March 26 from the Los Angeles Dodgers, has 29 career saves and a 2.90 ERA in 101 innings in parts of three seasons with the Dodgers. He said Charlotte pitching coach Rich Dotson tweaked a couple mechanical issues that “really helped me with my stuff.”

“It’s always light with Chris, it’s never hard. If he’s going to pitch 210, 220 innings, we’re not going to pile up a lot of hard work and innings in the bullpen.” Don Cooper, White Sox pitching coach

CHICAGO – Ernie Banks, a Hall of Fame shortstop, came to Wrigley Field on Tuesday to see shortstop Derek Jeter, who will be a Hall of Famer. “I run into Ernie a lot,’’ Jeter said. “I just saw him this last offseason. He treated me well when I was first coming up. You always remember how someone makes you feel when you first meet him, so I’ve always appreciated how he treated me.’’ The Cubs presented Jeter with a No. 2 from the Wrigley scoreboard. The presenter was the Cub who would most like to emulate Jeter – shortstop Starlin Castro. “If someone appreciates how you play the game and carry yourself, it makes you feel good,” Jeter said before the game. I haven’t seen Castro play a lot, but the times I have, he has a lot of talent and a bright future. I wish him all the luck.” The Yankees coming to Wrigley is an event in itself, but coming during the park’s 100th anniversary celebration and in Jeter’s final season made it even more eventful. “You think about everything that’s happened here, the 100th year, the fact they’re going to celebrate Jeter here, to be able to come back to the park – and you look around and there’s new things but the place looks great,’’ said Yankees manager Joe Girardi. “[Jeter has] been a great ambassador for the game, and you hope someone picks up the torch after he hands it off this season. But the way he’s been treated in each ballpark has been nice, and when you see how he’s been treated in every ballpark, you don’t forget how wonderful for the game he’s been over the 20 years.” Jeter’s career numbers are astounding. He has the most hits (3,353 and counting) and has played in the most games (2,639 and counting)

CUBS

Many believing in Castro’s talents By GORDON WITTENMYER gwittenmyer@suntimes.com CHICAGO – The Cubs’ Starlin Castro can be a lot better. He can be great – a shortstop with flash in the field, power at the plate and a place among the best at his position. So said the man who has had the closest baseball relationship to Castro since the day the shortstop broke into the league. “It depends on him,” New York Yankees outfielder and former Cubs teammate Alfonso Soriano said. “He’s hitting homers because he’s got the power and the talent. He’s hitting for average because he’s a good hitter. It depends how much he wants it. He’s got the talent, but do you want to work hard and do you want to be a superstar?” Castro has said he wants it since he closed in on the first of his two All-Star Games in 2011. And with his idol – Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter – in town, he seemed to have

a little more energy Tuesday than he has had so far in his bounce-back season. Nobody’s saying Castro is going to be the Cubs’ version of Jeter. If the Cubs find that anywhere in their rebuilding process, it’s Starlin Castro more likely to come from the next generation of touted prospects. Many think 2012 first-round pick Albert Almora has the demeanor and skill set to be that type. But the front office that gave Castro – who, by the way, had 692 hits before his 24th birthday, 226 more than Jeter did – a seven-year contract in the summer of 2012 still believes he can be cornerstone player. “I think you’re seeing a very confident player,” general manager Jed Hoyer said of the way Castro is playing this season. “He’s bouncing around the field. He’s smil-

ing again. He’s swinging aggressively again. Confidence is an amazing thing.” Castro is the Cubs’ everyday cleanup hitter these days. More than a quarter of the way into the season, he’s working on the best slugging percentage and OPS of his career. He’s also on pace for 197 hits and career highs of 23 home runs and 85 RBI. All that after struggling through a 2013 season that featured a .245 batting average, a .284 on-base percentage and a roller coaster of emotions. “If Castro had never struggled a day in his career, I think it’d be hard for him to talk to a younger player about getting through struggles,’’ said Hoyer, who believes in Castro’s potential as a clubhouse leader. ‘‘He’s feeling really good about himself [this season], and he should. It’s showing on the field in his quality of at-bats, and his interactions with teammates is outstanding, as well.”

NBA PLAYOFFS: EASTERN CONFERENCE FINAL: HEAT 87, PACERS 83, SERIES TIED AT 1

James helps Heat beat Pacers in Game 2 BY MICHAEL MAROT The Associated Press INDIANAPOLIS – LeBron James scored six straight points to spark a decisive 12-2 run, and the Miami Heat beat the Indiana Pacers, 87-83, on Tuesday night to leave the Eastern Conference final series tied at a game apiece. James had Pacers 83 1 2 o f h i s 2 2 points in the fourth quarter. Dwyane Wade had 23 points, 13 in the first half when the H e a t d e s p e rately needed Heat 87 them to stay close, and 10 Game 3 more in the fourth quarter Indiana at when they had Miami, to rally. 7:30 p.m. Game 3 is Saturday, Saturday in ESPN Miami. Lance Stephenson tied his playoff career high with 25 points for the Pacers. Paul George scored 14. The Heat trailed 73-69 with 7:19 left. But James hit

a 3-pointer, and then scored the first six points in the rally and the Heat defense gave up only eight points over the final five minutes. Miami has won 11 straight games after a playoff loss and still has not trailed 2-0 in a series since the first round of the 2012 playoffs. At times, the rough-andtumble night took on the aura of a football game, especially late. George and Wade banged knees while chasing a loose ball, then returned following the ensuing timeout. James crashed hard awkwardly to the floor when West was called for a flagrant one foul in the fourth quarter – a call later changed to a common foul following a replay review. “That’s what’s it’s about,” James said. “It’s not going to be pretty. Not in the Eastern Conference. It’s never pretty basketball in the Eastern Conference. It’s about who can sustain runs. You know, who can get defensive stops? Who can not turn the ball over and who can get great shots? I think we did that in the fourth.” Defense clearly was the theme of Game 2.

Miami coach Erik Spoelstra calls a play Tuesday during the first half of Game 2 of the Eastern Conference final against the Indiana Pacers in Indianapolis. Two days after allowing the Pacers to score 107 points, their most in this year’s postseason, Miami rallied in the first half by holding Indiana to just nine points over one 10-minute stretch. And they flipped the game late with a suffocating defense, too. “We fly around. Game 1 we didn’t fly around,” James said. “We let them dictate everything that they wanted and we didn’t play Miami Heat defense. That’s what’s good about this team, we go

back, we watch the film, we own up to what we did, the mistakes that we had, and then we come out and make it happen.” It was not easy against a Pacers team that chased home-court advantage all season – only to squander it in the first two games of each of the first three playoff series. Now they’ll need a win at Miami to get it back. The home team had won all five of this season’s previous five games between

the Eastern powers, and eight straight overall, including last season’s playoff series. Indiana was in a strong position when it went on a 10-2 third-quarter run to retake a 47-45 lead and eventually extended the lead to 6356 with 2:07 left in the third quarter. But James found Chris Bosh and Norris Cole for open 3-pointers to close the quarter, getting Miami within 63-62. Indiana again had a chance to take control after George hit a 29-footer to make it 73-69 with 7:19 to go. James then took over again. He hit a 3 to make it a one-point game, and after Roy Hibbert made a 6-foot hook shot, James scored six straight to start the 12-2 run that put the game away. “We’re never satisfied until we close out the series. We’ve got a lot of work to do,” James said. “We’ve got a couple days off. Those are mental days for us to go through the film, see the ways we can get better even though we played a great game. We’re going to get after it when we get back to Miami and get back to our home fans.”

Sacramento to vote on $477M arena for Kings SACRAMENTO, Calif. – Sacramento’s City Council is expected to vote Tuesday night on a $477 million downtown arena for the Kings, capping off a lengthy struggle to keep the NBA franchise and build it a new home. The outcome is uncertain, although a majority of the nine-member council has consistently voted to support various aspects of the arena planning process. Much of the credit for keeping the Kings in California’s capital has gone to Mayor Kevin Johnson, a former three-time NBA All-Star who maintains strong connections to the league. The Kings have played in Sacramento since 1985.

Southern California men’s tennis wins 21st NCAA title ATHENS, Ga. – Ray Sarmiento senses something special when he walks onto the courts at the Dan Magill Tennis Complex. It certainly helps that Sarmiento and some of his Southern California teammates fondly recall winning a national title at the University of Georgia two years ago. Sarmiento and Yannick Hanfmann won their singles matches in straight sets and USC earned its 21st NCAA championship with a 4-2 victory over Oklahoma on Tuesday night.

NBA DRAFT LOTTERY

UCLA women’s tennis wins 2nd NCAA title

Cavaliers continue their luck, get No. 1 pick again

ATHENS, Ga. – Kyle McPhillips had no trouble putting UCLA’s national championship in perspective. The 20-year-old sophomore has played in all four junior Grand Slam events, but she said nothing compares to winning it all with the Bruins. McPhillips beat Caroline Price, 6-4, 3-6, 6-3, in the last singles match Tuesday, helping UCLA hold off North Carolina, 4-3, for the Bruins’ second NCAA women’s tennis title. – Wire reports

By BRIAN MAHONEY The Associated Press NEW YORK – The Cleveland Cavaliers’ lottery luck just keeps going. The Cavaliers continued their remarkable run Tuesday, winning the No. 1 pick in the NBA draft for the second straight year and third time in the last four. They moved up from the ninth spot, when

they had just a 1.7 percent chance of winning the top selection. “It seems surreal,” Cavs vice chairman Jeff Cohen said. “This is three out of four years and we had a 1.7 percent chance of coming up with the first pick and we pulled it off again.” They drafted Kyrie Irving first in 2011 and will hope to do better with this win than

last year, when they took Anthony Bennett, who had a forgettable rookie season. Nick Gilbert, the son of Cleveland owner Dan Gilbert, was on the podium for the previous two wins, but general manager David Griffin was there this time. Griffin had a pin on his lapel from his late grandmother and was carrying one of Nick Gilbert’s bowties, which was

as lucky in his breast pocket as it was with Nick wearing it. The Cavs can now choose among the likes of Andrew Wiggins and Joel Embiid of Kansas, Duke’s Jabari Parker, or another player from what’s considered a deep draft. The Cavs won that one, too, in 2003, when they picked James. But they have been

lottery regulars since he bolted for Miami in 2010, and they want that to stop. The Milwaukee Bucks fell one spot to second and the Philadelphia 76ers will draft third. The Bucks had a 25 percent chance of winning after a league-worst 15-67 record, but the team with the best odds hasn’t won since 2004. The Bulls are 19th in the draft order.

These Hawks comparable to greatest Chicago sports teams ever • HAWKS Continued from page C1 of Famer behind the bench in Joel Quenneville, soon to be the second-winningest coach in history. More star power in Patrick Sharp, Corey Crawford and Brent Seabrook. Gritty fan favorites in Shaw and Niklas Hjalmarsson. A budding star in Brandon Saad. Several elite prospects banging on the door. This is the 1990s Bulls, only just starting out. This is the 1985 Bears, only every year. This is the 1960s Hawks, only better, in a bigger and harder league. This is Chicago baseball in the early 1900s, only you’re alive to see it. Streets, bars, trains and office buildings are speckled with red sweaters. Madison Street quakes

during the national anthem. And while most fans have been priced out of the United Center, they make up for it with parties, gatherings and work shifts built around Hawks games. The city virtually stops on a game night in the spring. Good luck getting another game on a TV at the bar during Game 2 on Wednesday. This always will be Bears country, first and foremost. But it has become the new Hockeytown all the same. And with Toews and Kane about to get massive contract extensions this summer, with Keith and Hossa signed until roughly the 37th century (and both probably capable of playing that long), with Hjalmarsson and Crawford locked up, it’s going to last awhile. That doesn’t mean the Hawks

The Blackhawks are loaded with stars, including Patrick Kane. are going to win the Stanley Cup every year. Heck, it doesn’t mean the Hawks are going to win the Stanley Cup this year. This isn’t the NBA. It doesn’t work that way in hockey. The playoffs are too hard, the sport too random, the

seedings too meaningless. (Ask the top six seeds this year about that. You can find them on a golf course somewhere.) But the Hawks are going to be in the hunt for the Stanley Cup every year – something very few, if any, teams have been able to claim in the salary-cap era. So get used to hockey in late May and early June. Get used to hockey season overwhelming the first couple of months of baseball season. Get used to the mental grind and the hair-pulling stress of the playoffs. It’s not going away any time soon. ‘‘I’ve known since I came to Chicago how lucky I was to play in this city and this organization,’’ Sharp said Tuesday. ‘‘And it just seems like year after year there’s improvements in some area. It just keeps getting better and better.’’

Look, it’s good that Chicago cares about the Hawks’ fourth line. It’s a sign of a young fan base – one that was on the verge of extinction six or seven years ago – that’s maturing, growing, learning, caring. So worry about the rotation of Michal Rozsival and Sheldon Brookbank at the sixth-defenseman spot. Dwell on whom Shaw is going to bump from the lineup. Stress out about who’s getting power-play time and why the Hawks can’t seem to blow anybody out in these playoffs. It’s fine that you’re sweating the small stuff. Just try not to lose sight of the big picture. • Mark Lazerus is a Chicago Sun-Times sports reporter who can be reached at mlazerus@suntimes. com.

Bee Sting Parfait

Strawberry Elderflower Frappe

Salted Caramel Malted Mocha Ice Cream Cake AP photos

COLD FRONT 3 chilly recipes to help kick off ice cream season By ALISON LADMAN The Associated Press

R

eady to move beyond basic vanilla or chocolate this ice cream season? Much as we love those classics, with so many crazy – and crazy delicious – flavor combinations flooding the freezer aisle of the supermarket, it’s hard to resist making some big, boldly flavored frozen concoctions of our own. We started with a bee sting parfait, inspired by the honey, almond and coconut-studded pastry of the same name. For a cool and so-very-adult frappe, we combine strawberry ice cream with elderflower liqueur. And to cool off a crowd, we layer on the flavor with a salted caramel malted mocha ice cream cake.

Bee Sting Parfait Start to finish: 20 minutes Servings: 2 2 tablespoons slivered almonds 2 tablespoons grated coconut, large flakes if available 2 tablespoons honey 1 banana, diced 1 pint vanilla ice cream Heat the oven to 350 F. Spread the almonds and coconut on a rimmed baking sheet and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until

lightly golden brown. Place in the freezer to chill for 5 minutes. To assemble the parfaits, add a teaspoon of coconut and almonds to the bottom of each parfait glass. Top with a tablespoon of banana and a drizzle of honey. Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Continue layering in this order until you’ve used all the ingredients and filled the glass. Serve immediately.

Strawberry Elderflower Frappe The elderflower liqueur makes this a grown-up frappe. For a kid-friendly version, substitute an equal amount of juice or milk.

Start to finish: 5 minutes Servings: 2 1 cup sliced fresh strawberries 1 cup strawberry ice cream 2 ounces elderflower liqueur Zest of 1/2 orange In a blender, combine all ingredients. Puree until very smooth. Serve immediately.

Salted Caramel Malted Mocha Ice Cream Cake Start to finish: 2 hours (30 minutes active) Servings: 8 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour 1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar 1/2 cup cocoa powder 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt 1 tablespoon instant coffee 1/2 cup Ovaltine Classic Malt mix 1 1/2 cups water 1 tablespoon cider or white vinegar 1/2 cup vegetable or canola oil 1 pint coffee ice cream 1/2 cup caramel sauce Coarse or flake sea salt Fresh berries Heat the oven to 350 F. Coat a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray and line it with kitchen parchment. In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, brown sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt. In a liquid measuring cup, whisk together the instant coffee, malt powder, water and vinegar. Add the oil, then add the liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients.

Whisk until smooth. Pour into the prepared pan and bake for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted at the center comes out clean. Allow to cool completely. When ready to assemble the cake, microwave the ice cream in 10-second increments until just slightly softened. Flip the cake out of the pan onto a cutting board. Remove the parchment and trim the edges off to make a neat rectangle. Cut the cake in half down the center (the short way), then cut each half in half again to create 4 even rectangles. Place 1 piece of cake on a serving platter, then spread a third of the coffee ice cream over it. Top with a second piece of cake, then spread another third of ice cream over that. Repeat one more time, finishing with the last piece of cake. Place the assembled cake in the freezer to firm up for 20 minutes. The cake also can be tightly wrapped in plastic and frozen overnight. If so, let stand at room temperature for 10 minutes before slicing. To serve, slice the cake into squares, then drizzle each serving with caramel sauce. Sprinkle with a few grains of sea salt and serve with fresh berries.

It’s Grill Time Start grilling season with the classic patty melt By ELIZABETH KARMEL The Associated Press One of my favorite big city comfort foods is a staple of the diner scene – the patty melt. According to lore, the patty melt originated in California as a burger topped with fried onions and melted cheese served on grilled rye bread. Of course today, the patty melt comes in all manner of variations, including many grilled cheese-style versions done indoors on a griddle. But now that the weather is warming up, it’s the perfect time to try my version of the original – the grilled patty melt. The first step in making a perfect patty melt is to shape your patty to fit the size of your bread. This results in an oval-shaped patty, but ensures that every bite has all the good stuff – grilled beef, caramelized onions, melted cheese and toasty rye bread. I like to use lightly seasoned ground sirloin for a lean but rich, beefy flavor. The classic patty melt calls for Swiss cheese, but I have noticed that many diners are opting for American cheese to get that ooey-gooey melted texture. I prefer the flavor of Swiss cheese, but if you really want that wet, melty experience, I suggest a combination of Swiss cheese for flavor and American cheese for texture. Finally, I up the ante on the onions by accenting them with tangy balsamic vinegar. I find the vinegar adds a depth of flavor and cuts through the richness of all the other layers of the sandwich. It also eliminates the need for a tangy condiment, like the Thousand Island dressing that sometimes is served alongside the sandwich. Use the best quality rye bread you can find, one with a slightly chewy crust and a dense crumb. The lighter the bread, the more difficult it will be to contain all the layers of the sandwich. And it is all the layers that make the patty melt so delicious. It is the classic example of the whole being so much greater than the sum of its parts.

Grilled Patty Melt with Balsamic Caramelized Onions Start to finish: 45 minutes Servings: 4 For the onions: 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 1 tablespoon unsalted butter 1 teaspoon kosher salt 4 tablespoons balsamic vinegar, divided 3 large yellow onions, sliced into rings

Grilled Patty Melt with Balsamic Caramelized Onions AP photo

For the burger: 1 pound ground sirloin 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper 8 slices of fresh rye bread, toasted 8 large slices of Swiss cheese, or a combination of Swiss and American In a large heavy-bottomed saute pan or Dutch oven over medium heat, combine the olive oil and butter. When the butter is melted, add the salt, 3 tablespoons of the vinegar, and the onion rings. Cover and cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove the cover and cook, stirring occasionally, for another 10 minutes, or until the onions are all a deep golden color. When the onions are done, transfer them to a bowl and immediately drizzle the remaining vinegar over them. Stir

to combine, then set aside. The onions can be prepared to this point up to 2 days ahead, then refrigerated in an airtight container. When ready to cook the burgers, prepare a grill for direct, medium heat cooking. Being careful not to overwork the meat, season the sirloin with salt and pepper, and mix until combined. Gently shape the meat into 4 oval patties of equal size and thickness (about 1/3 inch thick). Use your thumb to make an imprint in the center of each patty. Place each patty directly on the cooking grate and grill for 4 minutes. Turn and continue grilling until the meat is no longer pink, another 4 to 5 minutes. Once the patties are made and grilled, transfer to a clean platter. Meanwhile, begin to assemble the patty melts by layering each piece of the rye toast with a slice of cheese. Take the bread to the grill and place directly on clean cooking grates for 1 to 2

minutes, or until the cheese begins to melt and the bread is warm and lightly toasted. Once the cheese has melted, transfer each burger patty to one slice of bread. Divide the onions between the remaining 4 slices of bread, then assemble into 4 sandwiches.

A healthy way with fiery chicken and cooling salsa By SARA MOULTON The Associated Press It’s barbecue season, and chicken is the ideal candidate to get you grilling. Why? Chicken is light, it easily picks up the marinade of your choice, and it cooks quickly. But this recipe is not for your everyday grilled chicken. This is spicy Jamaican-style jerk chicken. “Jerk” refers both to a unique blend of seasonings and to a method of slow cooking. It is said to have been invented by Jamaica’s Maroons, slaves who escaped from Spanishowned plantations when the British took over and established free communities in Jamaica’s mountainous interior. The Maroons hunted wild boars, then preserved the meat with a spice mix that contained a hefty amount of salt. When it was time to eat, the meat was cooked in a pit or grilled very slowly over a fire. Eventually, Jamaicans began to cook all kinds of meats jerk-style. Jerk seasoning consists of a base blend of scallions, thyme, allspice (known as pimento in Jamaica), Scotch bonnet chilies, salt and, not infrequently, cinnamon or nutmeg. This may look like an awful lot of ingredients to slice and dice, but that’s not the case. Toss them all into a blender, pulverize everything to a paste, then you’re good to go. But you do need to be careful when you’re messing with those Scotch bonnets. I advise wearing gloves. Seriously. A cousin of the habanero, Scotch bonnets are serious chilies. I call for a whole chili here, but you can use less if you want to tamp down the heat. Happily, Scotch bonnets aren’t solely about heat; they also are uniquely flavorful – like a cross between a mango and chili – with a wonderfully fruity scent. If you can’t find Scotch bonnets, use a habanero. If you can’t find either, reach for a jalapeno or serrano.

lot 1/4 cup finely shredded fresh mint 3 tablespoons lime juice 2 teaspoons packed brown sugar Salt

Grilled Jerk Chicken Breasts with Watermelon Salsa AP photo

I left the skin on the chicken to prevent it from drying out while it’s being grilled, so when you marinate the chicken be sure to put the spice paste under the skin as well as on top of it. If you want to cut calories, you’re welcome to discard the skin after you’re done grilling. The meat itself will be plenty spicy. The job of the watermelon salsa is to balance the heat of the chilies. All by itself, of course, ripe watermelon is one of the top reasons to love summer. But they happen to be plenty healthy, too. They’re full of water, which makes them an excellent hot weather thirst-quencher, and they’re a great source of lycopene, vitamin C and beta-carotene. And these days you don’t have to buy mega-melons. There are plenty of smaller versions, most of them “seedless” (or at least with soft little seeds), the result of hybridiza-

tion. At the supermarket, look for a melon with a large yellow spot on the bottom. The bottom, or underbelly, of a watermelon is the spot where it was resting on the ground. If that “ground spot” is white or green, the watermelon is unlikely to be fully ripe. Once your melon is home, don’t store it in the fridge, at least not until it’s sliced. So, jerk and watermelon. Hot and sweet. What could be more summery?

Grilled Jerk Chicken Breasts with Watermelon Salsa Start to finish: 1 hour, 15 minutes (45 minutes active), plus 24 hours marinating Servings: 8 For the marinade: 4 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided 8 scallions, white and green parts,

coarsely chopped 1 to 2 (to taste) Scotch bonnet chilies, coarsely chopped 3 tablespoons soy sauce 3 tablespoons lime juice 1 1/2 tablespoons ground allspice 1 1/2 tablespoons Colman’s Mustard (English-style mustard) 2 bay leaves 2 large cloves garlic, crushed 1 teaspoon kosher salt 2 teaspoons sugar 2 teaspoons dried thyme 4 chicken breast halves (4 pounds total) on the bone with the skin, each chicken breast half cut in half For the salsa: 2 cups diced seedless watermelon 1 cup diced seedless cucumber 2 tablespoons finely chopped shal-

In a blender, combine 4 tablespoons of the oil, the scallions, chilies, soy sauce, lime juice, allspice, mustard, bay leaves, garlic, salt, sugar and thyme. Blend until the mixture forms a fine paste. Transfer the mixture to a re-sealable plastic bag. Add the chicken and turn it to coat well on all sides. Refrigerate for at least 24 hours and up to 2 days.. When ready to cook, heat the grill to medium. To make the salsa, in a medium bowl, combine the watermelon, cucumber, shallot, mint, lime juice and sugar. Season with salt, then set aside. Remove the chicken from the marinade, discarding the marinade. Using an oil-soaked paper towel held with tongs, oil the grill grates. Add the chicken, skin side down, and grill for 10 to 15 minutes. Turn the pieces of chicken, then grill for another 10 to 15 minutes, or just cooked through. Transfer the chicken to a plate, cover with foil and let rest 5 minutes. Serve each portion topped with some of the salsa.

Winemaker spotlight As director of winemaking for Marchesi de Frescobaldi, D’Afflitto has three distinct lots from which to choose the fruit that will become Castel Giocondo. Each adds its own special layer to the wine. At low levels there is a shorter growing season because the grapes are exposed to higher temperatures.

UNCORKED James Nokes

Grown in a mixture of clay and stony soils, D’Afflitto seeks to extract tannins from the skin. Add in a change in elevation, at over 900 feet, the grapes are thinner skinned and undergo a long vinification process. Grown in sandy soils, the wine’s fruit creates flavors that are present and provide an elegant layer; D’Afflitto doesn’t do a pump-over in the vinification process. The grapes grown at the highest altitude, over 1,600 feet, are in a clay soil that drains very well. The vines have to go deep for water and work harder to reach maturation. They also offer the most complex contribution to the wine.

“We are very lucky with the different soil types at Castel Giocondo,” D’Afflitto said. “Each vineyard offers something unique to the wine.” A 1982 graduate of Bordeaux University with a degree in oenology, D’Afflitto has supervised the replanting of Castel Giocondo that will finally conclude in 2015. He has a firm grasp on the nuances of the growing season and is as ready as a winemaker can be for the curve balls Mother Nature can randomly throw. “We are always seeking for a natural balance,” D’Afflitto said. “If we can push the roots deep down in the soil, the [stresses], late rains in September or a dry season, don’t change the berries as much. They can be more constant. It starts with the soil, goes to the grapes and ends with the wine.” The wine crafted at Castel Giocondo is an ideal ending.

By JOE YONAN The Washington Post Wouldn’t it be great to be a Beekman? The fabulous boys live in a historic home on 60 acres in upstate New York, where they tend goats, make cheese, raise vegetables – and otherwise oversee the Beekman 1802 reality show/cookbook/retail “lifestyle brand” that makes them contenders for the Martha Stewart throne (if she were to ever abdicate). Brent Ridge and Josh Kilmer-Purcell don’t sugarcoat the difficulties of farm life, but at the same time they cultivate an aesthetic that incorporates rural work and an urban sensibility, the latter in keeping with their prior identities as Manhattanites. It’s all low-key, DIY, high design. Their recent wedding, for instance, drew 300 people – including Stewart – who brought heirloom family dishes instead of gifts and ate on homemade picnic blankets that doubled as party favors. It’s no surprise that in their new book, “The Beekman 1802 Heirloom Vegetable Cookbook,” they make even the humblest produce specimens seem glamorous. And I’m fascinated by it. I enjoy entertaining friends, and at some point this season I’ll throw a party featuring my own vegetables (grown on 150 square feet in a gritty neighborhood), so I’m more curious than ever just how the Beekmans manage to sit at this intersection of dirt and dinner party. If my radishes are big enough in time, I know what I’ll make: the Beekmans’ Chilled Radish Soup. It’s yet another welcome idea for a different way to treat these peppery root vegetables, in this case blending them with buttermilk, nuts, vinegar and a little salt and sugar. The dish’s connection to their own family heritage is loose; they say the recipe is based on a soup featuring green beans made by the mother of co-author Sandy Gluck. Whatever the origin, it’s divine. Garnished with potato, egg, red onion and cucumber, it reminds me a little of white gazpacho, the Spanish soup based on almonds and bread, with one obvious exception: If you use red radishes, it takes on a purply-pink color. I made it, chilled it, poured it into a bowl for serving, garnished it, and immediately pictured the soup instead in shot glasses, lined up on a huge farm table (or my little porch, anyway), awaiting all my fabulous guests.

Chilled Radish Soup 4 servings (makes 4 cups) Tangy buttermilk and rich walnuts tame the peppery flavor of raw red radishes. MAKE AHEAD: The soup can be refrigerated for up to 1 week or frozen for up to 3 months. The garnishes can be refrigerated for up to 3 days; the sliced radishes should be stored in water to prevent discoloration. Adapted from “The Beekman 1802 Heirloom Vegetable Cookbook,” by Josh Kilmer-Purcell and Brent Ridge (Rodale). 8 ounces red radishes, scrubbed, trimmed and thinly sliced 2 cups buttermilk, preferably low-fat 1/4 cup walnut halves and pieces (may substitute pecans) 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt, plus more for the potato cooking water 1/2 teaspoon sugar 8 ounces Yukon Gold potatoes 2 large eggs 1/4 cup finely diced red onion 1 mini Persian cucumber, sliced thin Place all but 1/4 cup of the radish slices in a blender with the buttermilk, walnuts, vinegar, the 1/2 teaspoon of salt and the sugar; puree until smooth. Refrigerate until chilled. While the soup is chilling, cover the potatoes with salted water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium or medium-low so the water is barely bubbling; cook until the potatoes are fork-tender but not falling apart, about 30 minutes. Run under cold water, peel and cut into 1/2-inch chunks. Place the eggs in a separate saucepan. Cover with cool water and bring to a boil over high heat, then remove from the heat, cover and let stand for 12 minutes. Crack the eggs, transfer them to a bowl of ice water and let them stand for 10 minutes (to make peeling easier). Drain the eggs, then peel them and slice into thin rounds. To serve, divide the soup among chilled bowls. Garnish with the potato, egg, red onion, cucumber and the reserved radish slices.

Childhood sexual abuse Chelation therapy for heart still haunts adult survivor disease merits another look Dear Abby: After years of carrying this guilt, I want to tell my story. It might help others. When my grandfather tried to rape me, it was at night when everyone was asleep. I stopped him as much as a 10-year-old could. The next day he wrote me a letter saying he was sorry for what he did. It read, “If your dad finds out, it will kill him.” Strong words for a 10-year-old, so I buried the letter in the back yard. He never touched me again. Five years after that, Grandpa was arrested for molesting my younger brothers. As a young girl, I didn’t know men molested boys. I found out after my grandfather went to prison that he also had molested my dad and his sister when they were children. Please warn parents to educate their children. Tell them even someone they love does not have the right to touch them in a way that makes them uncomfortable. My dad felt guilty for the rest of his life for what happened to us because he had let this monster back into his life. If this saves one person from the shame and guilt I have carried, it will have been worth it. – Wish I Had Told In Florida

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips Dear Wish You Had Told: I agree with you about the importance of parents teaching children the difference between an appropriate touch and one that isn’t, and how to set boundaries. If those boundaries are violated, children should be instructed to immediately tell an adult. If it’s not a parent, then tell a teacher, counselor or school nurse, all of whom are mandated reporters. Children also should tell if a friend confides it has happened to him or her, because secrets like this are harmful not only to the victim, but to any children in the vicinity who also might be at risk. It might assuage your guilt to know molesters often blackmail their victim into silence. I heard recently from a woman who said her father told her when she was a child that if she revealed what he was doing, he would kill himself. (It wasn’t until many years later she finally realized if he had, he would have been doing everyone, including her sister, a favor.)

Dear Abby: I am 26 and have been dating this guy I really like for three months. He is great. My biggest setback is his body hair. He honestly has more body hair than I have ever seen. This has kept me from being physically attracted to him. I think everything is moving in the right direction, but I don’t know what to do about this issue. Should I love him how he is, or ask him to get rid of it? I don’t want him to feel self-conscious, because he’s an awesome guy. – In A Hairy Situation In Arizona Dear In A Hairy Situation: This is a sensitive subject, one that should be approached with as much diplomacy as you can muster. Because he seems to have everything else going for him, but the body hair is a turn-off, do talk to him about it. Fortunately, over the past few years men have become more open to removing excessive body hair – or at least cutting it back so it’s not so overwhelming. (This is called “manscaping.”) There are also the options of waxing or laser treatments, if he is willing. • Write Dear Abby at www.

Dear Dr. K: I have heart disease, and I keep hearing chelation therapy can help. It sounds like snake oil to me. What is it, and can it help? Dear Reader: Ever since I graduated from medical school, I’ve thought, as you do, chelation therapy for heart disease sounded like snake oil. Many of my patients have asked about it, and I’ve told them not to consider it. About a year and a half ago, a reader asked me the same question, and I was pretty negative in my column. But I’ve learned a doctor has to be open-minded: If new evidence runs counter to what you’ve believed, you need to consider it seriously. Evidence in the past two years has led me to think there might be something to chelation therapy. So what is chelation (pronounced key-LAY-shun) therapy? Certain chemicals are injected into the blood. These chemicals attach to metals deposited in the tissues of your body, pulling the metals out of the tissue and into the blood. Then the metals get eliminated in your urine. That might sound a little wacky, but it’s absolutely true. Chelation therapy is a successful treatment for lead poisoning, for example. But what does it have to do with heart disease?

ASK DR. K Dr. Anthony Komaroff Heart disease is the number-one cause of premature death. The most common form of heart disease results from atherosclerosis, in which fatty plaques build up inside artery walls. They block blood flow and increase the risk of a heart attack. These plaques contain calcium. About 70 years ago, some doctors put forward a new theory, proposing chelation therapy would pull the calcium out of the plaques and that would somehow ease heart problems. Mind you, there was no serious evidence to support this theory, but hundreds of thousands of people have received chelation therapy anyway. And the treatment can cause serious adverse reactions, including death. So you can understand why I, along with most doctors, have been skeptical about chelation therapy for heart disease. What’s been missing is the gold standard for determining if a treatment works: a large, randomized, controlled trial. In the summer of 2013, a trial including more than 1,700 people who underwent chelation therapy was reported. The study participants were over

age 50 and had recently had a heart attack, so the point of the trial was to find out if the people had fewer additional heart problems in the future. The result was ambiguous: The patients receiving the true chelation therapy had a 4 percent lower risk of heart problems. The result was not dramatic enough to cause the doctors conducting the study to recommend the treatment. Then another analysis of the results of the same study was published in early 2014. This analysis looked only at the people in the study who also had diabetes. These results were more dramatic: Heart problems were reduced by 41 percent in the people treated with chelation therapy. The study authors suggested another randomized controlled trial be conducted just in people with heart disease and diabetes. So, in my opinion, the value of chelation therapy for heart disease remains to be proved. I used to think it was total baloney, but now I’m open to the idea that it might help some people, and this possibility should be studied. I’ll report any further developments in a future column. • Write to Dr. Komaroff at www.askdoctork.com or Ask Doctor K, 10 Shattuck St., Second Floor, Boston, MA 02115.

It’s crunch time

Farro Salad

Celery, Walnut and Pecorino Salad

AP photo

A protein-packed whole-grain salad By SARA MOULTON Associated Press Back in my restaurant days, we used to make a delicious summer salad of white rice with peas, shredded carrots and radishes dressed with a dill mayonnaise. It was tasty and filling but, in retrospect, I can’t say it was terribly nutritious. But I figured there had to be a way to make it lighter, and there was. I started by replacing the white rice with farro. An ancient and nutritious form of whole wheat from Italy, farro boasts a pleasingly nutty taste and a slightly chewy texture. It’s not as popular here as it should be because too many home cooks think it is complicated to make. Not true. What is true is the prep time for farro depends largely on the variety you buy. There are three kinds sold in America – whole, semi-pearled and pearled. All three tend to be labeled “farro,” though the instructions on the back of the package are more specific. Whole farro – bran and husk included – is the most nutritious and takes the longest to cook. Pearled farro – with the bran and husk removed – takes the least time. In any case, just follow the instructions on the back of the package and plan ahead. If you cook a big batch during the weekend, you can freeze it in 2-, 3- or 4-cup portions, then use just what you need during the week. I retired the peas. Peas are plenty nutritious, but edamame really jack up the protein content. Most grocers offer both shelled and in-the-pod varieties (check the freezer aisle). For this recipe, you’ll want the shelled version. They boil up in about 5 minutes. I’ve retained the shredded carrots and the radishes, but I’ve ditched the full-fat mayonnaise in favor of ranch dressing. I partnered the buttermilk with some of the usual suspects: a bit of oil, a bit of low-fat mayonnaise, and some garlic and fresh herbs. Then, I kicked in a twist of my own, chopped cucumber. The salad as a whole also is pretty

versatile. If you have carnivores, you can bulk it up with some of chicken or shrimp.

FARRO AND VEGETABLE SALAD WITH CUCUMBER RANCH DRESSING Start to finish: 20 minutes Servings: 6 1/2 cup coarsely chopped seedless cucumber 1/4 cup low-fat mayonnaise 1/4 cup buttermilk 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic 1 teaspoon lemon juice 2 tablespoons vegetable oil Salt and ground black pepper 2 tablespoons snipped fresh chives 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh tarragon, dill or parsley 2 cups cooked farro (follow package directions) 1 cup cooked shelled edamame 1 cup coarsely shredded carrots 1 cup coarsely shredded radishes 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese (optional) In a blender, combine the cucumber, mayonnaise, buttermilk, garlic, lemon juice, oil and salt and pepper, to taste. Puree until smooth. Stir in the chives and tarragon, then transfer to a jar and set aside. In a large bowl, toss together the farro, edamame, carrots and radishes. Season with salt and pepper. To serve, add the feta to the salad, if using. Toss the salad with two-thirds of the dressing, then divide among 6 serving plates. Serve the extra dressing on the side.

Washington Post photo

By JOE YONAN The Washington Post If the writers of the TV satire “Portlandia” had come to Washington and eaten at Etto while working on Season 4, they might have rethought the sketch featuring a marketer trying (and failing) to make celery the hip new vegetable. Because all it takes is one forkful of “Celery, Celery, Celery and Walnut” to realize that co-owner Peter Pastan has met the challenge. How do he and chef Cagla Onal-Urel turn the humble vegetable into something swoon-worthy? Sharp pecorino Romano cheese, tangy citrus and a heavy dose of supreme olive oil do the trick – or so

we thought before Pastan shared the recipe. The secret, it turns out, is that he calls for not just conventional green celery but also the Chinese variety, which has thinner ribs and a stronger flavor and is not traditionally eaten raw. Make this salad with the more common celery, and it’s very good; mix the two types, and it’s sublime.

Celery, Walnut and Pecorino Salad 4 servings Trim the core from 1 bunch green celery. Separate the individual ribs. Use a vegetable peeler to remove/discard the stringy layer from 6 outer ribs. Cut the ribs very thinly to yield

1 cup. Reserve 1 cup whole leaves from the inside, pale celery heart ribs. Trim the core from 1 bunch Chinese celery. Separate the individual ribs. Thinly slice 10 of them to yield 1 cup. Pick off and reserve 1 1/2 cups of darker green leaves. Use the peeler to shave 2 ounces aged pecorino Romano cheese (from a wedge) into thin curls. Toast 1/2 cup walnut halves, then crush or coarsely chop them. Toss the celery and leaves with the pecorino, walnuts, 1/3 cup best-quality extra-virgin olive oil, 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, 1 tablespoon fresh orange juice, 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt and 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper in a mixing bowl. Divide among plates; serve right away.

McHENRY – C U At The Movies, which operates the downtown McHenry Theatre, is temporarily closed. A notice on the company’s website says “We’ll be open again soon.” Owner Cindy Kottke said the company is waiting for parts to repair its 35mm movie projector. If it can’t get the parts, it will go ahead with a planned digital conversion, Kottke said. The theater had planned other renovations to go along with the digital upgrade, but may have to convert sooner than planned, she said. Many small theaters have struggled with expensive equipment upgrades.

Panos Panay, Microsoft’s vice president for surface computing, introduces the Surface Pro 3 tablet device Tuesday at a media preview in New York. The device will have a screen measuring 12 inches diagonally, up from 10.6 inches in previous models. Microsoft says it’s also thinner and faster than before.

Laptop killer? Microsoft unveils larger, faster Surface tablet By ANICK JESDANUN The Associated Press NEW YORK – Microsoft announced a larger version of its Surface tablet to make the device more compelling as a laptop replacement. The Surface Pro 3 will have a screen measuring 12 inches diagonally, up from 10.6 inches in previous models. Microsoft said it’s also thinner and faster than before. The company said it worked closely with chip-maker Intel Corp. to maximize performance in a slim device. Microsoft also collaborated with software developers such as Adobe to adapt Photoshop and other software to take advantage of the new tablet’s hardware. The Surface Pro 3 will go on sale this summer, starting at $799. Microsoft will start taking orders Wednesday. Microsoft announced the device Tuesday at an event in New York. The Surface is an important part to Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella’s mobile-focused strategy. The company is trying to boost sales of Windows

tablets and phones to stay relevant with consumers as computing habits change. Microsoft’s presenters spent much of the hour long presentation comparing the Surface with Apple’s iPad and MacBook Air laptop. Panos Panay, corporate vice president for Surface Computing at Microsoft Corp., tried to make the case for the Pro 3 to replace both. “This is the tablet that can replace a laptop,” he said. The first Surface came out in late2012 to lackluster sales. The Surface 2’s debut last October came with a greater marketing emphasis on tasks people normally tackle on laptops, such as creating documents and editing movies. In the January-March period, revenue from Surface devices grew more than 50 percent from the year before to about $500 million. But that figure pales in comparison with Apple’s reported $7.6 billion in iPad revenue for the same quarter. The Surface line is notable for its built-in kickstand. Last fall’s models made the tablets more comfortable

to use on laps with a kickstand that works at two different angles. With the Pro 3, the kickstand can be adjusted to a range of positions, much the way a laptop’s screen can be opened at various angles. Microsoft also said it improved the touchpad on its optional keyboard cover, which sells for $130. In addition, the Pro 3 comes with a stylus that feels like a real pen. The Surface line puts Microsoft in competition with some of its own partners – the makers of tablets and laptops that use Microsoft’s Windows operating system. Nadella sought to quell concerns by saying the company’s goal was to create demand in new types of products and boost the entire industry. “We are not building hardware for hardware’s sake,” Nadella said. “We want to build experiences that bring together all the capabilities of the company.” The vision of the Surface, he said, was to design a product that “takes the best of the tablet and the laptop” and enable people to read, create, write, watch and enjoy.

Antitrust experts: 2 big deals better than 1 By RYAN NAKASHIMA The Associated Press LOS ANGELES – Antitrust experts say AT&T’s bid for DirecTV could reap immediate regulatory rewards. Coming so quickly on the heels of a rival cable company merger – the pairing of Comcast and Time Warner Cable – makes it easier for regulators to approve both transactions because they create two counterbalanced giants in pay TV. Experts say the potential benefits of bigger scale, cost savings and promised reinvestment in networks to create speedier connections could be seen to outweigh the damage done to consumers by a reduction in the number of competitors. “The antitrust regulators might be thinking about Comcast-Time Warner Cable becoming a Goliath with lots of small Davids,” said Amanda Wait, a former antitrust attorney with the Federal Trade Commission and partner at Hunton & WiIliams LLP in New York. “What the AT&T deal does – if it gets approved – is it creates another strong competitor that looks more like a Goliath than a David. It levels the playing field a little bit,” she said. Even so, each deal brings a unique set of potential harms. For a quarter of the nation’s households, AT&T Inc.’s combination with DirecTV will reduce the number of pay TV competitors from four to three, which raises the possibility that consumers will face higher prices in those markets. Meanwhile, Comcast Corp. and Time Warner Cable Inc. will serve 30 million Internet subscribers, a figure that is growing. That’s roughly double the size of its nearest competitor – AT&T with 16.5 million – and could give it an unprecedented ability to charge content providers for priority

McHENRY – AT&T plans to open a new retail store Friday at 3351 Shopper Drive, McHenry. A grand-opening ceremony will be at 9 a.m. The retail store will be one of company’s “Store of the Future spaces, using innovative retail concepts and designs unlike other AT&T stores across the country,” according to a news release. The McHenry store will be modeled after the company’s flagship store on Michigan Avenue in Chicago and “will be one of the few locations nationwide to adopt this retail design,” the release said.

MCC offers construction zone flagger training McHENRY – McHenry County College’s Workforce Training Department is offering a fourhour National Safety Council Flagger Training Certificate course. The next session will be from 8 a.m. to noon June 3 at the Shah Center, 4100 W. Shamrock Lane, McHenry. Students will learn flagging procedures and proper use of required equipment through classroom activities and hands-on training. The course is available for both novice and experienced construction zone flaggers, according to a news release. The cost is $125 a session. To register, call the MCC Registration Office at 815-455-8588 and use course ID: USV-U09-004. For information, contact Ruth Kormanak at 815-479-7879 or rkormanak@mchenry.edu.

Home Depot 1Q results miss expectations

Rival merger could help AT&T’s bid for DirecTV reap immediate regulatory rewards, antitrust experts say. access to its subscribers under new Internet rules being considered by regulators. Both entities’ TV services would be roughly the same size – AT&TDirecTV will have 26 million pay TV subscribers, Comcast-Time Warner Cable, about 30 million. Although each deal will be examined on its own by the Federal Communications Commission and the Department of Justice, regulators look at the current and future marketplace, according to DOJ spokeswoman Gina Talamona. “We consider the market as it exists today and where the market may be heading with any pending or proposed deals,” she said. Comcast and Time Warner Cable don’t compete in each other’s service areas, so the merger of those companies won’t reduce consumer choice. But AT&T and DirecTV compete

head-to-head in 22 states for TV customers. Merging will reduce consumer options in many of those markets to three – the local cable operator, AT&T-DirecTV and satellite provider Dish Network Corp., which has 14.1 million customers. Harry Davis, a regulatory issues lawyer with Schulte Roth & Zabel in New York, said the reduction in competition won’t matter to regulators as long as there are three strong competitors. “Most of the studies that have been done suggest that as long as you have three strong competitors, you have less likelihood of any one competitor being able to raise prices,” he said. Davis believes approving both deals is better than approving just one. “A combined Comcast-Time Warner Cable is a strong balance and vice versa,” he said. Davis said it’s likely that both deals will be approved.

ATLANTA – Home Depot’s fiscal first-quarter net income climbed 12 percent, helped by better sales, but results fell short of expectations as a cold and rainy spring hurt results. The company said May sales were “robust” and the No. 1 home improvement retailer raised its full-year earnings forecast. Shares rose almost 2 percent in morning trading. Spring is the biggest season for home improvement retailers as homeowners and others work on their yards and gardens. Meanwhile, the U.S. housing market has emerged from a deep slump, aided by rising home prices, steady job growth and fewer troubled loans dating back to the housingbubble days. While the housing market has recently struggled to maintain that momentum, many home owners are spending more to renovate their homes. “The first quarter was impacted by a slow start to the spring selling season. But we had solid results in non-weather impacted markets and expect our sales for the year to grow in line with the guidance we previously provided,” CEO Frank Blake said.

Investment strategies should be easy to understand While there are many people who have plenty of money to invest, more than a few hesitate to do so because they are unsure of exactly how or where to put their money. And while it may seem a logical conclusion that the more money you have the more complicated your investment picture becomes, that is not necessarily the case. Financial investment strategies still can be broken down into simple, easy-tounderstand terms. • Asset allocation: One of the most important elements of a successful financial strategy is proper asset allocation. This refers to the mix of investments you have in your portfolio, and it’s important to keep a good balance of different types of investments – such as stocks, bonds

rule of thumb is to diversify your stock portfolio across a number of sectors; you also may want to overweight industry sectors whose stocks you believe are likely to benefit from the current outlook for the economy. Once you have identified these sectors, you can begin to select specific stocks from within them. You may want to consider stocks that pay dividends, which can give your investment an added boost. Another benefit of these stocks is that you can usually reinvest the dividends you earn directly into the purchase of more stock, and many investment firms even have programs that allow you to do so at no cost. Another good idea is to select companies that have a solid foun-

FINANCE Timothy J. O’Connor and cash, for example – diversified across a range of industry groups or sectors. Your ultimate financial objectives, the amount of time you have to invest and your own risk tolerance should all be taken into consideration as you decide exactly how to divide up your funds and where to invest them. Although asset allocation will diversify your portfolio, it will not protect against fluctuating prices or uncertain returns.

• Fixed-income investment strategies: When you buy a bond, you are usually promised the return of your principal as long as you keep it until maturity. In addition, you earn interest on your money before the bond matures. There are a wide variety of fixed-income products available. Some can be tax-advantaged, and many generally afford you a fixed rate of return. • Estate investment planning:

Regardless of your age, an estate plan is a valuable tool that can help preserve your estate in the unexpected event of your incapacitation or even death. It also can ensure your assets are properly managed, according to your wishes, for your heirs. While this is just a simple overview of some of the many financial opportunities available to you, it’s important to begin your financial strategy right away.

Housing debt still traps General Motors recalls 2.4 million more vehicles 10 million Americans By DEE-ANN DURBIN The Associated Press

By JOSH BOAK The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Nearly 10 million Americans remain financially trapped by homes worth less than their mortgage debts – an enduring drag on the U.S. economy almost seven years after the housing bust triggered the Great Recession. During the first three months of this year, 18.8 percent of homeowners with a mortgage – 9.7 million – owed more on their loans than their properties would sell for, according to online real estate database Zillow. Though that was an improvement from the 25.4 percent figure of a year ago, the share of such “underwater” homeowners is about four times the historic average. An additional 18.1 percent of mortgage holders were “effectively” underwater: They had equity, but the proceeds from selling their home would be too low to recoup the sales costs and also put a down payment on a new property. The consequence is that few Americans are putting their homes on the market, thereby limiting the economic growth made possible by sales. Because of the shortage of homes being listed, bidding wars have inflated prices in

DETROIT – General Motors said Tuesday it’s recalling 2.4 million vehicles in the U.S. as part of a broader effort to resolve outstanding safety issues more quickly. The latest action brings to 13.6 million the number of vehicles GM has recalled in this year, a new record for the automaker. GM’s previous record of 10.75 million cars and trucks was set in 2004, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. GM agreed last week to pay a $35 million federal fine for concealing deadly defects in small-car ignition switches for more than a decade. The company says at least 13 people have died in crashes

parts of the country to levels that squeeze out many firsttime and middle class buyers. The problem is most pronounced among starter homes with prices averaging around $100,000, 30.2 percent of whose owners are burdened by underwater mortgages, sometimes called negative equity. “The unfortunate reality is that housing markets look to be swimming with underwater borrowers for years to come,” said Stan Humphries, chief economist at Zillow. The share of mortgage holders with negative equity is projected to drop to 17 percent at the start of next year, according to Zillow. Several major U.S. metro areas are stuck with residents who have high rates of negative equity. In Chicago, almost 45 percent are underwater or effectively underwater. The rate is 53.1 percent in Atlanta, 50.6 percent in Las Vegas, 46.6 percent in Charlotte, 44 percent in St. Louis, and 43.2 percent in Tampa. Sales of existing homes have slowed after strong growth in the first half of 2013. Americans bought homes at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.59 million in March, the lowest level since July 2012, according to the National Association of Realtors. It was the seventh drop in eight months.

linked to the problem, but trial lawyers suing the company say the death toll is at least 53. GM said no fatalities were linked to the recalls announced Tuesday. As part of the fallout from that recall of 2.6 million Chevrolet Cobalts and other small cars, GM hired more safety investigators and vowed to review the safety of its vehicles. In May alone, GM has recalled nearly 5.3 million cars and trucks. The Detroit automaker said it will take a $400 million charge for repairs on all vehicles recalled so far this quarter. That’s on top of a $1.3 billion charge the automaker took for recalls in the first quarter. GM said no fatalities have been reported related to the

recalls announced Tuesday. The recalls are: • 1.3 million Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse and GMC Acadia crossovers from the 2009-2014 model years and Saturn Outlook crossovers from 2009-2010. GM says the front safety lap belt cables can wear down and separate over time. GM has told dealers they cannot sell new or used models of the vehicles until repairs are made. • 1.1 million Chevrolet Malibu sedans from the 20042008 model years and Pontiac G6 sedans from 2005-2008 because a shift cable could wear out over time. If the fracture occurs, the driver may not be able to select a different gear, remove the key from the ignition or place the transmission in park. GM knows of 18

crashes and one injury from the defect. • 1,402 Cadillac Escalade and Escalade ESVs from the 2015 model year because a faulty weld could result in partial deployment of the front passenger air bag in a crash. GM has stopped the sale of the models and alerted 224 current owners not to let occupants sit in the front passenger seat until the vehicle has been repaired. GM knows of no injuries related to the defect. • 58 Chevrolet Silverado HD and GMC Sierra HD pickups from the 2015 model year because retention clips attaching the generator fuse block to the vehicle body can become loose and lead to a potential fire. No crashes or injuries are related to the defect.

an investigation late last year, the FDA said it received more than 4,800 complaints of pet illnesses and 1,000 reports of dog death after eating Chinese-made chicken, duck or sweet potato jerky treats. Last week, the FDA said tests found antiviral drug amantadine in some samples of imported chicken jerky treats sold a year or more ago, but doesn’t think it caused the

illnesses. The FDA said it will continue to investigate. Petco said that shoppers have asked the pet food retailer to stop selling treats from China. Petco said it is switching them out for treats that are made in the U.S., New Zealand, Australia and South America. It started cutting down on the amount of treats it sold from China about three years ago, said Petco

Vice President John Sturm. It doesn’t sell any pet food made in China. Petco, which is based in San Diego, runs 1,300 stores around the country. Rival PetSmart Inc., which is based in Phoenix and runs about 1,300 stores, didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.

8IN BRIEF Petco to stop selling pet treats made in China NEW YORK – Petco said Tuesday it will stop selling dog and cat treats made in China by the end of this year due to ongoing fears the imported treats are making pets sick. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration hasn’t been able to figure out why pets are getting ill. Since it launched

John Tyndall, an English physicist who died in 1893, said, “Life is a wave that in no two consecutive moments of existence is composed of the same particles.” At the bridge table, usually when the right choice of bid or play is not clear, you have two possibilities. Consider both of them, and with luck it will become apparent, which is preferable. In this deal, South is in ive diamonds. West leads the spade four. How should declarer plan the play? South might have opened ive diamonds, but that would have risked missing a slam. East’s double of one no-trump was for takeout of diamonds, the opener’s suit. Yes, East might have bid two hearts to get his ive-card major into the game, but the double was more lexible. Then South bid what he hoped he could make. Note that if he had gambled on the majors by rebidding three no-trump, that contract would have made easily. Declarer has three possible losers: one in each side-suit. He also has only 10 winners: one spade, eight diamonds

and one club. He needs a second spade trick. And if West has led away from the king, that trick will materialize immediately. But what happens if East produces the spade king? Yes, South’s queen is now established, but how can he get to dummy’s spade ace? The answer is to hope that West has the spade jack and to drop the queen under East’s king. Suppose East shifts to the club king. Declarer wins, draws trumps, and plays his spade three to dummy’s 10. If that inesse loses, the contract was unmakable.

CROSSWORD

HOROSCOPE

! !

TODAY - Let your creative side loose this year. Don’t be deterred by the inevitable changes coming your way. Accept that some situations are beyond your control, and devote yourself to success. Believing in your abilities is the first step. Enjoy the moment and the ride. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Don’t get caught up in workplace bickering. If you have a legitimate complaint, follow the proper channels. Negativity and grumbling could trigger even bigger problems. Protect your position. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Remembering the fun you had in the past will lead to a return to the things you enjoyed doing most. Rekindle the moment by revisiting old friends, places or hobbies. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- This is your lucky day. You may receive an unexpected profit through a previous investment. Your ideas for financial gains will prove more favorable than ever. Romance is in the stars. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Someone around you will be short-tempered. If you overreact, you will only create more hostility. Find a solitary activity that you enjoy in order to avoid a feud. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Do your best at work and at home. Your peers or partners aren’t likely to be cooperative. Rely on your own efforts and tread carefully to avoid misunderstandings. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Self-improvement strategies will work to your advantage. Use your initiative, and apply your strong work ethic to the things you find most appealing. Stay in control. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- You can’t avoid unpleasantness forever. Ignoring the problems will not make them go away. Take action and face any contentious issues before they become impossible to deal with. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Your personal problems may come under scrutiny from meddling friends or relatives. Be diplomatic, but make it clear that you intend to solve your own issues. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Go over proposals or contracts with a fine-toothed comb, and get everything in writing. You could face long-term problems if you take people at face value. Protect your assets and your reputation. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- If you have been feeling blue, take time to pamper yourself or just relax. It might be the time to begin some improvement projects. The busier you are, the less time you’ll spend dwelling on problems. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Your drive to help those in need will bring you personal satisfaction and enrich your life. Personal and community commitments will bring you unexpected benefits. You have a lot to offer. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Your desire to learn is commendable and unstoppable. Meeting with others and comparing thoughts and ideas will keep you up-todate and well-informed. Forge ahead.
