‘Take me out to the ball game’ The first song I ever remember singing was “Take Me Out to the Ball Game.” My grandmother, Bub, who lived with us, used to always invite me into her bedroom to watch the Cubs play. There we’d start every game singing that song together.

After the last word we’d shout, “Whooowhooo!,” in anticipation of the excitement ahead.

Then we’d watch the Cubs lose and sing Johnny Cash’s “Flushed from the Bathroom of Your Heart.”

But back to “Take Me Out to the Ball Game.” It was written in 1908 by Jack Norworth and Albert Von Tilzer. Jack was riding on a subway train in New York City and saw a sign that read, “Baseball Today – Polo Grounds.” He took out a scrap piece of paper and quickly wrote the lyrics for the song. Later, his friend Albert composed the music. Ironically, neither Jack or Albert had ever attended a baseball game.

The song became an instant hit and was later recorded by a fellow named Edward Meeker for the Edison Phonograph Company. It was the most popular song of 1908 and eventually was selected as one of the top “Songs of the Century.”

Now, the part we all have learned isn’t actually the whole song, it’s just the chorus. The verses are about a girl named Katie Casey and how much she loved baseball. But that chorus is what has become the theme song of our national pastime: Take me out to the ball game, take me out with the crowd.

Buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jack, I don’t care if I never get back.

Let me root, root, root for the home team, if they don’t win, it’s a shame.

For it’s one, two, three strikes, you’re out, at the old ball game.

Those words have transcended time as generations of baseball fans have sung that tune.

But there is a part of the song that has a bit of a time continuity problem. It’s the third line that says, “Buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jack.”

Somehow, those meager ballpark food choices have become quite outdated. Sure, you could still purchase them, but Norworth and Von Tilzer would hardly recognize some of the items on the ball game menu today.

JUST HUMOR ME Michael Penkava The Burgerizza: A grilled 20-ounce all-beef patty, five slices of cheddar cheese, topped with crispy bacon and placed between two 8-inch pepperoni pizzas.

Chicken and Doughnut Skewer: Twelve glorious inches of alternating fried chicken and doughnuts covered in buffalo honey sauce.

The Wicked Pig: Double-decker sandwich of pulled pork, bacon, sausage, prosciutto, ham and pork rinds.

The Barnyard Wedding: A cheeseburger, fried chicken, hash browns and barbecue sauce on a pretzel bun.

The Cracker Jack & Mac Dog: A hot dog topped with macaroni and cheese, Cracker Jack, jalapenos and caramel sauce.

Peanut Butter Pretzel Stick: A pretzel coated with peanut butter and slathered with thick cut bacon served on a stick.

Tater Tot Chop: Pork chop topped with tater tots and seasoned with Coca-Cola-infused ketchup.

Slider Dog with Fruit Loops: Hot dog topped with mac ‘n cheese, bacon, and, of course, Fruit Loops.

Now, to bring the song up to date, perhaps we can change the lyrics a bit to accommodate the new food menu: Take me out to the ball game, take me out with the crowd.

Buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jack, a Tater Tot Chop, Wicked Pig full of fat.

Let me eat, eat, eat ‘til I’m bloated, No room for more it’s a shame, For it’s one, two, three snacks you’re out, at the old ball game!

Whooo-whooo!

FACEBOOK THIS WEEK’S QUESTION: Does your perception of a business change if they have video gaming machines?

Why or why not?

DAVID BETHKE: Yep. I tend to think of places that have video gaming as being lower quality, depending on where they put the machines. It seems like every restaurant with a liquor license has these now.

JULIE LEWIS: No. It’s a revenue stream for the business just like selling alcoholic beverages and food. It’s an individual choice whether to drink or gamble. I don’t hold that against the business owner.

TRACY GERBER: Yes, it kind of makes the business look desperate.

MIKE HANSEN: Not one bit. Some of our area bars need these.

KEVIN DALEIDEN: I leave. They are just noise generators.

KRISTEN ROSE: Not really. It helps the business keep their doors open, so people should be glad. They’re going to be everywhere eventually, so people might as well get used to them.

MIKE SHORTEN: In places where they are hidden (i.e. Marzano’s in McHenry) they are not an issue. I’ve been in a couple of places where they are loud, in full view and are being played by folks who look like they would be better off doing some self reflection rather than gambling.

Next week’s question will be posted on our Facebook page on Monday morning, and your comments could be published in this space in next Saturday’s newspaper.

GUIDE DOG, OWNER ON THE MEND Pair working to leave house after pit bull attack

By KATIE DAHLSTROM

kdahlstrom@shawmedia.com McHENRY – Adria Hanus remembers only the sounds of a man yelling and metal clanking before she was able to make out the dark shape of what she thought was a dog latched onto the neck of her service dog, Cassie.

Hanus, who is legally blind, had gone out for a walk with Cassie on the afternoon of March 29 near her McHenry home when, she and police said, a pit bull mix charged at them, biting Cassie on the neck until the owners pried the dogs apart.

During an exam shortly after-

“When the vet opened up the fur I couldn’t tell how bad it was, but I could see that dark red blood run-

ning,” said Hanus, 76.

Even less clear was Cassie’s future as a guide dog. Hanus, who has relied on Cassie for the past four years, said she was worried the golden retriever would have too much emotional trauma to work again. But nearly two weeks after the attack, Cassie and Hanus are leaning on each other to rebuild their courage to leave their home.

“The wound is healing,” Hanus said, nearly 5-year-old Cassie lying obediently at her feet in the harness that puts her in work mode.

ISLAND LAKE

Resident, firefighter injured in fire

By KATIE DAHLSTROM

kdahlstrom@shawmedia.com ISLAND LAKE – A homeowner and firefighter were injured Friday in a fire that officials said damaged an Island Lake townhouse and killed a dog and two cats.

Wauconda Fire District crews were dispatched shortly after 2 a.m. to a townhouse at 3613 Linden Drive after the homeowner called 911 to report a structure fire, according to a news release.

When firefighters arrived, they found heavy flames coming from an attached garage of a two-story townhouse.

The homeowner, the only person in the home at the time, was taken to Advocate Good Shepherd Hospital with injuries not considered life-threatening, according to the release.

A firefighter also was sent to the hospital because of the fire with injuries that were not life-threatening, officials said.

Firefighters extinguished the fire within 90 minutes and prevented it from spreading to other townhouses, the release said.

Officials estimated the damage at $200,000, and said the townhouse is uninhabitable.

“The main body of the fire was in the

garage,” Lt. Dan Frey said. “But there was extensive damage to the first floor, and smoke and heat damage to the second floor.”

Because of the amount of fire encountered at the scene, firefighters activated the Mutual Aid Box Alarm System to get help from additional crews.

Firefighters from Nunda, Fox River Grove, Crystal Lake, Marengo, Grayslake, Barrington-Countryside, McHenry, Countryside, Cary, Lake Zurich, Round Lake, Wonder Lake and Lake Villa assisted Wauconda firefighters, officials said.

The cause of the fire remains under investigation.

Trustees talk design details for senior housing project

By CAITLIN SWIECA

cswieca@shawmedia.com CARY – Village trustees discussed a new layout for a proposed senior housing project that includes a 1,200-squarefoot community room that could be used by the village and Cary Park District for senior activities.

The concept was presented by David Burg of the developer, PIRHL, at the Committee of the Whole meeting last week.

A vote on whether to allow the proposed 62-unit development at the south corner of Three Oaks Road and Feinberg Drive will likely happen April 19.

Last Tuesday, trustees debated the merits of the potential community space, discussed a developer donation to the village and questioned the way the developer had handled zoning requests.

The community room was added at the request of village staff, who said privatizing the village’s senior center could be an option to eventually replace the Kraus Senior Center.

“This is a little bit of an add-on, but

the point is we take this very seriously, this being the partnership with the village,” Burg said. “This should be a win-win for everyone involved.”

Trustees were divided on whether they wanted to privatize the senior community space.

Trustee Rick Dudek said he felt it was important to discuss a potential donation from the developer, citing precedent from developments such as the Pedcor affordable Rick Dudek housing project.

Burg said the cost of the community space and accompanying parking spaces would be about $209,000.

Village Administrator Chris Clark said if Chris Clark the development is approved, the developer’s donation would likely be larger if the community room is not part of the final plan.

Trustees Jeff Kraus and Jim Cosler also questioned the developer’s approach to zoning requests. The zoning

board in December gave a negative recommendation to variances requested

by PIRHL, but the Cary Village Board sent the project back to the zoning board before taking a vote.

At its second zoning board hearing, PIRHL requested a text amendment to the zoning code and a conditional-use permit and received a positive recommendation from a reconfigured zoning board.

Jeff Kraus “Previously, he went through the process and was denied [variances],” Kraus said. “Now we’re seeing these changes to ordinances. It seems like we’re opening the door up and making it a lot Jim Cosler easier to get something pushed through.”

Community Development Director Brian Simmons and Village Attorney Adam Simon said that any developer could request zoning amendments and such requests were not uncommon.

HUNTLEY

Veterinary clinic moving forward Village Board to vote on proposal at its meeting Thursday

By CAITLIN SWIECA

cswieca@shawmedia.com

Proposed hours of operation

HUNTLEY – A veterinary clinic along Route 47 is one step closer to opening after village trustees moved the proposal forward Thursday.

The clinic proposed by Randall Road Animal Hospital would be in a 2,250-square-foot space at 11804 Route 47 and operate under the name Huntley Animal Care.

The approval came after the Huntley Village Board in November rejected plans for the clinic at a site further south on Route 47, adjacent to the Sleepy’s mattress store.

Trustees said they wanted that site to be used for retail or a restaurant and had concerns about safety in a high-traffic area.

n WHAT: Huntley Animal Care n WHEN: 8 a.m. to 6 or 7 p.m., five or six days a week n WHERE: 11804 Route 47, Huntley When reviewing the new proposal Thursday, trustees said the new location, which is adjacent to Thomas Manning Construction and faces Route 47, was much better. The Plan Commission recommended approval of the location by a unanimous vote.

Representatives said the location would provide preventative care, minor surgery and treatment of sick animals, primarily dogs and cats.

There will be no overnight stays,

and animals requiring more intensive care will be transferred to the animal hospital’s Crystal Lake facility.

The clinic is asking the Village Board to amend village code for the manufacturing zoning district to include veterinary hospitals as a special use and for a special use permit for the site.

The Village Board is set to formally vote on the proposal at its meeting Thursday.

In addition to its Crystal Lake location, Randall Road Animal Hospital operates locations in Elgin and North Aurora.

The planned Huntley location will operate from 8 a.m. to about 6 or 7 p.m. for either five or six days a week and employ one doctor and two or three employees, planners said.

writer Terry Willcockson said.

“They can use [the report] as a basis and take that to a more refined level,” Willcockson said.

Whether the report will suggest expanding the existing art gallery, or using the building for educational purposes like the TAP report suggested, “We just really don’t know,” Willcockson said.

“Woodstock has that reputation in the county as really being a focal point for the arts community, so they would be looking at things that are really a community-driven need,” Willcockson said. “And of course, the big puzzle piece is where the funding comes from for the restoration.”

She said the Old Courthouse and Sheriff’s House Advisory Commission and Friends of the Old Courthouse will use the report to help determine what happens next with the property.

WOODSTOCK – The city of Woodstock has received a $20,000 grant to fund a study that will determine the needs of the arts community in the city and how the Old Courthouse and Sheriff’s House can be used as a space for artists.

For years, the city has been trying to determine a use for the property it acquired in 2011 that holds the Old Courthouse Arts Center.

The Minneapolis-based nonprofit Artspace will visit Woodstock on May 18 and 19 to tour the city and meet with focus groups.

The group also will look for public input at a presentation at 7 p.m. May 18 at Stage Left Cafe, 125 E. Van Buren St. “Our mission as a nonprofit is to create, foster and preserve affordable space for the creative sector,” Wendy Holmes said. “So we do our own developments to create space that’s affordable, and help others figure that out as well.”

Holmes, Artspace senior vice president of consulting and strategic partnerships, said the group will be providing consulting services for Woodstock and writing a report on how the building could be used for the arts and funded.

Village postpones vote on SSA for wastewater system

By HANNAH PROKOP

hprokop@shawmedia.com JOHNSBURG – The Johnsburg Village Board tabled its vote to designate a special service area for wastewater treatment and collection system improvements along parts of Sunnyside Beach Drive and West Fairview Avenue so the village could research more options, city officials said.

The original proposal for the special service area would require 33 properties to hook up to the new system for $21,000 up front, or about $1,600 spread over 20 years on tax bills, Village Administrator Claudett Peters said.

However, at the Village Board meeting Tuesday, Village President Edwin Hettermann asked to hold the vote so the village could explore the possibility of expanding the project and using other financing options.

“We want to explore the opportunities and make sure that the people that

really want the SSA and initiated it get the best price and the best deal, and to see if maybe we could make some of the people that were against the SSA happy, too,” Hettermann said Thursday.

Some residents along the Fox River have problems with high groundwater, Hettermann said, and it’s hard to put in replacement septic systems without spending thousands of dollars.

Once the residents are hooked up to the village’s wastewater Edwin treatment plant, it’s Hettermann permanent, and they won’t have to worry about sewer issues again, he said.

According to state law, 51 percent of registered voters and owners of record of the affected properties must sign an objection petition to stop the special service area designation.

Both petitions came in short, with

about 47 percent of the voters and 29 percent of the owners of record signing the objection petition, Peters said.

Sunnyside Beach Drive resident Emitt Roberts said requiring residents whose systems are working fine to connect to the system will drive many away from the neighborhood.

“It’s going to be decorated with sales signs because we can’t afford the $21,000 up front,” Roberts said before the meeting Tuesday.

Hettermann said while the village understands both sides of residents’ concerns, the village will move ahead with some type of project.

Time will be needed, however, to determine whether the village can expand the scope of the project to reach more houses and businesses in need, Hettermann said, and if it can finance the project in a different way so that residents who do not need the sewer improvements aren’t forced to hook up immediately.

The proper punishment to Hanus and her husband, Ed, would be for Bella to be required to wear a muzzle anytime she leaves the house.

“We cannot have dangerous dogs running around McHenry,” Ed said.

For now, the couple and their two dogs – they also have a 12-year-old seeing eye dog named Honey-B – are trying to move forward together.

They know it will be a slow process.

Cassie is more on edge than usual, and Hanus won’t leave the driveway unless she’s in a car going to Kohl’s or Meijer.

But a special bond exists between a guide dog and its owner, and that’s why Hanus is holding out hope they will be able to recover.

The attack happened about 3:30 p.m. on Greenbrier Drive in the neighborhood where both Hanus and the pit bull’s owners, Terry and Michelle Brock, live.

The pit bull behind the bite also had been on a leash with its owners when it thrashed its way out of a new collar, McHenry Deputy Police Chief John Birk said. The bite required medication but did not need to be sutured. Hanus had an abrasion on her hand after the scuffle.

According to the police report, Birk said Terry Brock told police the pit bull did not like other dogs.

Standing in the entryway of her home with the pit bull, 1-year-old Bella, whining behind a gate at the top of the stairs, Michelle Brock said her dog wanted to play. She said the pinch collar they had recently bought was too loose, and Bella only bit because she had not been socialized, and Cassie growled.

“She wanted to play, but if a dog growls at her,” Brock said as Bella grew quiet. “I feel bad. I understand how traumatic it had to be. We were shaking. It was a tragic accident.”

10 FAIRDALE

Danielle Guerra – dguerra@shawmedia.com

Fairdale resident Monica Martinez looks up the new stairs at her wall hanging of the Virgin Mary inside her home March 24. She and her family have had problems with their insurance in getting money to redo some of the damage on their home caused by the tornado April 9, 2015. The stairs to the second story of their home had been completed the day before by volunteers from St. Paul’s Lutheran Church in Forrest. Volunteers also helped paint the kitchen and other rooms of the home.

Fairdale residents, responders learn from EF4 tornado

By RHONDA GILLESPIE

rgillespie@shawmedia.com FAIRDALE – Recovery began immediately in Fairdale and quickly became an all-in effort, Kirkland Mayor Les Bellah said as he looked back on the days that followed the destructive tornado that changed the landscape of the tiny area.

The mayor said Fairdale, located about seven miles west of his town, always had been Kirkland’s little sister city.

“They weren’t in the victim mode a long time,” Bellah said. “They got in recovery mode fast.”

The aftermath of the EF4 tornado that ravaged the unincorporated community a year ago Saturday sent residents, first responders and local elected officials on a sobering learning curve.

Along the road to recovery, Monica Martinez said she ran into situations that at times had her looking to the heavens for confirmation that God was watching over her.

“I started questioning my faith. I got

so frustrated,” said Martinez, a wife and mother of three whose family home of 16 years on Keith Street was heavily damaged by the tornado.

Martinez was one of several residents with homeowner’s insurance. But she quickly learned that, even in the most dire situations, paying premiums on time didn’t translate to expedient insurance payouts.

So many factors go into determining adequate coverage amounts for properties, according to the Insurance Information Institute. But the Martinez family learned that in their case, they may have had more losses covered had their home been completely destroyed – like the 21 others that were leveled.

The family slept on the floor of their damaged house for weeks after the tornado, using donated air mattresses, sleeping bags and clothes, she said. Her policy didn’t cover hotel expenses. In fact, she learned all of the damage to her house wasn’t covered because the insurer picked through debris to determine

what was damaged as a result of the tornado versus what was just old.

“We didn’t get paid or helped for everything,” she said. “It seems like they didn’t want to release the money.”

In fact, Martinez said her family had a $152,000 policy, but the insurance company, so far, only has paid out around $65,000. However, her claim will remain open for at least another year.

Her husband, Noel, had done a lot of the repairs himself. Volunteers helped to rebuild a collapsed staircase and repaint the home.

“When we went and bought insurance [initially], they came and looked at the house and insured it,” Martinez said. “Now, all of a sudden when it’s time to cover [losses], they are finding all the excuses they can not to pay out.”

Despite the ongoing wrangling with her home’s insurer, Martinez found out she still was a bit better off than some of her neighbors.

In fact, in the days after the storm, representatives from the U.S. Small Business Association, Illinois Emergency Management Agency and other local officials surveyed the area. They learned that 31 homes and seven businesses had suffered major damage but had a lot of uninsured losses.

The finding led Gov. Bruce Rauner

ing some residents, reuniting families, storing donations and other outreach, he said.

Then came the outpouring of support that Bellah and others laud. Donations flowed in starting before sunrise the next day. Neighbors and other nearby supporters brought things such as clothes, food, blankets, time, hugs and shoulders to cry on.

The Red Cross was at the scene.

The Salvation Army helped to feed and clothe victims. Connell said the fire department even set up a quasi-general store that distributed other items people may have needed.

Nonprofits, sports teams such as the Chicago Bulls and even the governor were among those who chipped in cash.

But some of the logistics and decisions Connell made that night and in the following weeks, he said, turned out to be mistakes for him and his 31-member volunteer firefighting team.

“In the fire service, we learn from mistakes. We don’t accept a mistake as a mistake, and that’s not a bad thing.

We take that mistake and learn from it. Sometimes we often create drills around it,” he said. “Mistakes are learning experiences for us. So we’re not ashamed to say we’ve made a mistake.”

Connell said first responders and other officials held critique sessions to review policies and procedures to see what could be tweaked.

Joe Patten, known as the “Phantom of the Fox,” stands outside the Fox Theatre on Oct. 12, 2010, in Atlanta. Patton lived above the historic theater for the past 31 years.

demolition in the 1970s, Patten and others formed the group Atlanta Landmarks to raise money to save it.

Their effort was successful and the board of trustees in 1979 asked Patten to convert unused office space into an apartment and live there as a caretaker.

Under the terms of that lease, Patten agreed to spend at least $50,000 to renovate the space, and the work would be considered his rent for the term of the lease, which was set to expire after his death.

But in 2010, the trustees voted to end his lease, prompting Patten to file a lawsuit. Many people in the city rallied in support of Patten, and the trustees reached a settlement with him in June 2011 to allow him to live out the rest of his days there.

NEW YORK – A doctor who oversaw the New York City medical examiner’s office for more than two decades and whose staff helped identify the remains of Sept. 11 victims has died.

Charles Hirsch was 79.

Mayor Bill de Blasio announced Hirsch’s death Friday but didn’t reveal the cause. He said Hirsch served as medical examiner for 24 years and was a dedicated public servant and talented medical expert.

Hirsch rushed to the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001, and was hit by falling debris as the first tower collapsed. He oversaw the medical examiner’s office as pathologists worked for years to identify the remains of the more than 2,000 victims.

The Democratic mayor credits Hirsch with making the office a “national leader in forensic pathology.”

Hirsch retired in 2013.

Alma Brown, widow of former Commerce secretary, dies at 76

WASHINGTON – Alma Brown, the widow of Ron Brown, who served as Commerce secretary under President Bill Clinton, has died, a family friend said. She was 76.

Brown died Sunday at a hospital in Washington, D.C., 20 years to the day after her husband was killed in a plane crash while on a trade mission to Croatia, said Flo McAfee, a longtime friend who was acting as a spokeswoman for the family.

Ron and Alma Brown were known as longtime allies and defenders of Clinton. Alma Brown was a civic leader in Washington, D.C., who advocated on behalf of vulnerable children and rural

women through organizations, including the National Black Child Development Institute, the National Council of Negro Women and the National Urban League, for which she served as board vice chairman.

She began her career as an educator and later worked as director of public affairs for a Washington radio station and as a vice president of Chevy Chase Bank.

“Alma devoted her life to her family and doing good and she encouraged her family and friends to do the same.

She and Ron were quite a team,” Bill and Hillary Clinton said in a joint statement. “We were so lucky to have her in our lives.”

‘Blood, Sweat & Heels’ reality TV star Daisy Lewellyn dies

LOS ANGELES – Daisy Lewellyn, who starred in Bravo’s “Blood, Sweat & Heels” reality series, died Friday of a rare form of cancer, the channel said.

She was 36.

The California-born Lewellyn was surrounded by her family and friends, Bravo said in a statement that remembered her as a wonderful woman.

“We loved her deeply and will miss her warmth, infectious joy and triumphant spirit,” her family said in a statement.

Lewellyn was diagnosed in February 2014 with stage-three bile duct cancer, a rare cancer affecting the liver, and underwent chemotherapy and radiation treatments, the channel said.

She carried on with her life and was open about fighting the disease, including on “Blood, Sweat & Heels,” which follows the personal lives and careers of a group of New York City women.

ATLANTA – Joe Patten, affectionately known as the “Phantom of the Fox,” spent much of his life restoring, preserving and living in Atlanta’s fabulous Fox Theatre – twice saving the historic landmark from fire and demolition.

Patten, 89, died at a hospital on Thursday, surrounded by his family and friends, listening to his favorite organ music. He recently had a major stroke, fell into a coma and never woke up, his nephew Greg Patterson said.

It was Patten’s love of pipe organs that was his entry into the Fox. Growing up in Lakeland, Florida, Patten became interested in theaters and pipe organs. He was enchanted by the Fox on his first visit as a young man in 1946, but he was disappointed its great pipe organ, known as “Mighty Mo,” wasn’t working.

He later moved to Atlanta and, in 1963, he and a small group of friends persuaded the theater’s general manager to let them restore it.

“It was my intent to get everything in this theater working as it was originally designed to,” he told The Associated Press in 2010.

That began a close relationship with the Fox that would last the rest of his life.

The Fox, built in the late 1920s as a Shriners mosque, is lavishly decorated with minarets, arched doorways and terrazzo floors. With lights that mimic stars twinkling from the deep blue ceiling, the auditorium evokes an ancient Arabian courtyard.

Illinois budget crisis affecting fuel cleanup

By JOHN O’CONNOR The Associated Press

SPRINGFIELD – Federal regulators have warned Illinois to resume paying companies that wrench leaky fuel tanks from the ground or be forced to tell gas station operators they have to pay, according to a letter obtained by The Associated Press.

It’s another potentially crippling consequence of the state’s 10-month budget stalemate, which makes the $58 million set aside to pay for cleanup inaccessible. The letter, dated March 21 and sent by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s regional director in Chicago, demands the Illinois EPA deliver a plan to free up the cash for scrubbing contaminated sites.

Companies in charge of yanking tanks said the work has slowed since the state can’t touch the Leaking Underground Storage Tank Fund financed by an at-thepump gas tax and a fuel-delivery fee. One consultant in northern Illinois told the AP, “Cleanup is not being done.”

But the state EPA, which has until April 21 to respond, counters that this isn’t the first tank-fund payment backlog and there is sufficient money to pay the $20.3 million in submitted bills. Without reimbursement, contractors that pull leaking tanks and replace contaminated soil would have to find alternate financing – likely from costly insurance policies that would be required of gas station owners no longer covered by the state fund.

“The state budget impasse

has impacted the fund by halting reimbursements for remediation of LUST sites for the past eight months,” Robert Kaplan, the federal EPA’s acting regional administrator, wrote in the letter, adding that it “compromises the financial viability of the cleanup contractors that are critical to ongoing cleanups.”

But work continues on 211 gas-contaminated sites around the state, according to documents released to the AP under the Freedom of Information Act. However, the majority of contractors on the ongoing jobs haven’t sought payment and state Christine EPA spokes- Radogno woman Kim Illinois Senate B i g g s s a i d Republican there’s no way leader to estimate how much it will cost.

The federal agency also questioned diverting $20 million from the fund as part of the $1.3 billion budget deal that Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner and Democrats in the Legislature struck to balance the ledger for the 2014-2015 fiscal year. The two sides continue to wrangle over a spending plan that should have taken effect July 1.

Biggs said past payment delays have run as long as 24 months without threat of federal sanction. “EPA continues to move reimbursement requests through our approval system so that payments will be made as soon” as a budget is approved, Biggs said in an email.

Legislation to free up $860 million in special-purpose funds that was introduced Thursday by Senate Republican Leader Christine Radogno includes $60 million for the leaking-tank fund. But millions more in expenses are piling up. Among contractors on the 211 sites where decontamination has begun since the start of the fiscal year, only 10 have submitted reimbursement claims, Biggs said.

That’s because much work has stopped, according to Bob Renguso, senior project manager of the St. Charles-based Marlin Environmental Consulting. Work proceeds in stages, with EPA approval at each step, but many companies hold up when there’s no money to cover the next phase.

“We can’t do the next step and wait for reimbursement any longer – we’ve used up all our capital,” Renguso said.

“We’ve been trying to continue these last few months, where the next step is approved, but we’re just sitting on it. Cleanup is not being done.”

Biggs said contractors are responsible for continuing to remove the environmental threat regardless of when they’re paid.

Josh Appleton runs Earth Services in the southern Illinois town of Benton. Consulting firms dependent on state reimbursement pay his firm to do the digging. He’s waiting on about $1 million for work dating back to last spring – about one-quarter of his annual revenue – and has turned his attention to demolition jobs.

“We’ve pretty well put a halt to any LUST [tank] work we’re doing,” Appleton said.

“We can’t do the next step and wait for reimbursement any longer – we’ve used up all our capital. We’ve been trying to continue these last few months, where the next step is approved, but we’re just sitting on it. Cleanup is not being done.”

– Wire reports similar investments in trusts

Cardinals Lorenzo Baldisseri (left) and Christoph Schoenborn show a copy of the post-synodal apostolic exhortation “Amoris Laetitia” (The Joy of Love) during a news conference Friday at the Vatican. Pope Francis has insisted that individual conscience be the guiding principle for Catholics negotiating the complexities of sex, marriage and family life in a major document released Friday that repudiates the centrality of black and white rules for the faithful.

Pope Francis: Be guided by conscience not rules The ASSOCIATED PRESS VATICAN CITY – In a sweeping document on family life that opened a door to divorced and civilly remarried Catholics, Pope Francis insisted Friday church doctrine cannot be the final word in answering tricky moral questions and Catholics must be guided by their own informed consciences.

Francis didn’t create a churchwide admission to Communion for divorced and civilly remarried Catholics as some progressives had wanted. But in the document “The Joy of Love,” he suggested bishops and priests could do so on a case-by-case basis in what could become a significant development in church practice.

The pope also strongly upheld the church’s opposition to same-sex marriage.

The 256-page document, two years in the making and the product of an unprecedented canvassing of ordinary Catholics and senior churchmen, is a plea from Francis’ heart for the church to stop hectoring Catholics about how

to live their lives and instead find the redeeming value in their imperfect relationships.

“I understand those who prefer a more rigorous pastoral care which leaves no room for confusion,” he wrote. “But I sincerely believe that Jesus wants a church attentive to the goodness which the Holy Spirit sows in the midst of human weakness.”

The document is cleverly worded: Francis selectively cited his predecessors, making clear he is working within their tradition, but omitting the sometimes harsh, definitive language that is an anathema to his mercy over moral priorities. He cited himself repeatedly, making some of his most significant points in strategically placed footnotes, rather than the text itself.

“It’s the classic case of an organic development of doctrine,” said Cardinal Christoph Schoenborn, the archbishop of Vienna who presented the document at a Vatican news conference.

“There is innovation and continuity. There are true novelties in this document, but no

ruptures.”

Gay Catholics were highly critical, saying Francis had failed them. The document offered nothing significant beyond existing church teaching that gays are not to be discriminated against and are to be welcomed into the church with respect and dignity. It repeated the church’s position that same-sex unions can in no way be equivalent to marriage between a man and woman.

“He has ignored submissions and appeals by lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender Catholics,” said British gay rights advocate Peter Tatchell.

“Gentler words do not assuage Vatican opposition to gay equality.”

On thorny issues such as contraception, Francis stressed that a couple’s individual conscience educated in church teaching – and not just dogmatic rules imposed on them across the board from above – must guide their decisions and the church’s pastoral practice.

“We have been called to form consciences, not to replace them,” he said.

This is not a normal year.

Fifty-five percent of Americans say they have a negative opinion of Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton in the latest AP-GfK poll. But that’s not nearly as bad as how they view the leading candidate for the Republican nomi- Donald nation, Donald Trump. Trump His unfavorable rating stands at an unprecedented 69 percent.

The negative feelings for both are a harbinger of a general election contest that’s shaping up to be less about voters supporting Bernie the candidate of their Sanders choice, and more about their picking the one they dislike the least.

“I don’t really feel like either one is that trustworthy,” said Devin Sternadre, 26, a student from northeastern Ohio. “Most of the elections that have Ted Cruz happened in the past I’ve felt strongly about a candidate, and I just don’t this time.

“But yeah, if it was held today I guess I would vote Clinton,” he said, with a deep sigh. “I just wish there were more choices.”

Democratic strategists said Trump’s deep unpopularity has alleviated some of their concern over views of Clinton.

While 55 percent of Americans have a “somewhat” or “very” unfavorable

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton tours a lab Friday at the Jacobs Institute in Buffalo, N.Y. impression of the former secretary of state, that’s about the same number as those who have a “very unfavorable” opinion of Trump.

Clinton’s rating is also slightly better than Republican candidate Ted Cruz: Fifty-nine percent say they have an unfavorable view of the Texas senator. Clinton’s Democratic primary rival, Bernie Sanders, is at just 39 percent unfavorable, but he trails far behind Clinton in the delegate battle for the Democratic nomination.

Asked if she needed to improve her public image, Clinton told reporters Friday she has worked to win over voters in the past, as when she ran for Senate in New York.

“Just remember, when I was secretary of state my approval rating was the highest of any public official. Now what’s the difference? Whenever I’m doing a job, people approve of my job.

When I seek the job, when I compete for the job, then there’s a big rush by,

WHISPERING POINT OPHTHALMOLOGY

you know, Republicans and interests who don’t agree with my values and my vision for the country, to just pile on,” Clinton said. “I’ve been there, I know that, I’m not worried about it.”

As the campaign moves toward the general election, Democrats argue, the dynamic will shift from being a referendum on Clinton’s character to a choice between her and a Republican opponent.

If that Republican is Trump, Democrats see an opportunity to unify their own party behind Clinton and make inroads with independents and Republicans.

Nearly half of all registered voters said they would at least consider voting for Clinton, far more than say they are open to voting for Trump. Sixty-three percent say they definitely wouldn’t vote for Trump in a general election.

Thirty-eight percent say they definitely would not vote for Vermont Sen. Sanders.

Even in more historically conservative Southern states, where Trump

swept the GOP primaries, voters are somewhat more likely to say they would at least consider Clinton. Half say they are open to her candidacy, and 39 percent to his.

Voters are more likely to have a positive opinion of Clinton’s primary rival, Bernie Sanders, with only 38 percent saying they would definitely not vote for the Vermont senator.

Lara Robles, a Republican from Round Rock, Texas, said she would back Clinton, even though she has been surprised to find her views aligned with Trump on a number of issues.

“I think she flip-flops on a lot of her views, but I would vote for Hillary,” said the mother of three. “I just don’t really like him as a person. I think he doesn’t have a filter on his mouth.”

Clinton is not held in very high regard among the general public. Most Americans view her as not particularly compassionate, honest or likable.

They have mixed feelings on her civility, decisiveness and competence.

Half of all Americans said Clinton is “not at all” honest, with another 18 percent saying she’s slightly honest. That number mirrors views on Trump, with more than seven in ten saying the word honest describes him only slightly or not at all well.

But on the other attributes, Clinton’s negative ratings are at least better than the overwhelmingly disapproving views Americans have of Trump.

More than half say Clinton is not especially compassionate, and six in 10 say she’s only slightly or not at all likable. Eighty percent do not find Trump compassionate and three-quarters do not see him as likable.

“What I want in a president is someone who wouldn’t cause trouble for the country. I think Donald Trump would,” said Steve Fantuzzi, a 54-yearold registered Republican in the Chicago suburbs. “Hillary’s OK. I don’t have a problem with her.”

Police released surveillance video that showed a man they said was a suspect walking a women’s bicycle.

Firefighters later recognized the man as Criner, whom they had spoken to in connection with a trash fire near the UT campus on Monday. An Austin resident who reported the fire also called police when she saw the surveillance video, Acevedo said.

Criner wasn’t arrested for the fire

but was instead taken to a shelter.

Police found him there Thursday and took him into custody without incident. His arrest affidavit said his clothing matched that of the man on the surveillance video and that he was in possession of a women’s bike, as well as Weiser’s duffel bag and some of her other belongings, including her laptop.

Weiser’s autopsy showed she had been assaulted, but police have refused to release further details about how she died, except to say that the route she took from her dorm to the drama building often passed Waller Creek,

Weapon authorization unclear in Texas military base shooting

By DAVID WARREN The Associated Press

DALLAS – Military officials investigating an apparent murder-suicide that happened Friday on a U.S. air base in Texas are trying to determine whether the gunman was authorized to have a weapon on the base, where the possession of firearms is heavily restricted.

The gunman was an airman who targeted his commander at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland, according to a senior U.S. official who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because he wasn’t authorized to publicly discuss the shooting. The commander oversaw a base K-9 unit, the official said.

A motive for the shooting and many other details were not released by authorities Friday. Brig. Gen. Robert LaBrutta, who oversees Joint Base San Antonio, declined to identify the men, saying their families must first be notified. He also stressed the shooting was not an act of terrorism.

Investigators from the Air Force and FBI are tracing two handguns

found near the bodies of the two men inside a building that holds classrooms and offices.

Military-issued and personal firearms are heavily restricted on the base and it’s not clear whether the gunman was authorized to have a weapon, according to Dan Hawkins, a spokesman for the base.

Weapons are used for training purposes and carried by base security personnel, Hawkins said, but personal firearms cannot be freely carried on the base.

“Allowing everyone to carry personal firearms would make the job of our security professionals much more difficult,” Hawkins said. He also said security officers must be notified if a personal weapon is being brought onto the installation and the firearm must be registered, in addition to other requirements.

The restrictions apply not only to Lackland but also to Fort Sam Houston, the Randolph air base and another installation that comprise Joint Base San Antonio, which has more than 80,000 full-time personnel and is the home of Air Force basic training.

AUSTIN, Texas – Police said Friday that a homeless 17-year-old had been arrested and will be charged with murder in the death of a University of Texas dance major in the heart of the bustling campus – a killing that has unnerved one of the country’s bestknown schools.

Meechaiel Criner wasn’t believed to be a university student and hadn’t been living in Austin long. Police Chief Art Acevedo said Criner could face additional charges in the slaying of 18-yearold Oregon native Haruka Weiser.

“We are very certain that the subject we have in custody ... is responsible for the death of this beautiful young woman,” Acevedo said at a news conference.

Weiser was last seen leaving the campus drama building Sunday night.

Her body was found Tuesday in a creek near the alumni center and UT’s iconic football stadium, an area that hums with activity day and night.

The slaying shook a campus of about 50,000 students. University President Greg Fenves called it “horrifying and incomprehensible.”

“It was unsettling,” said 20-year-

where her body was found. Criner’s affidavit said Weiser’s body showed “obvious trauma.”

It also said campus surveillance video not made public showed the suspect watching a female thought to be Weiser as she walked in the direction of her dorm with her head down, looking at her cellphone.

As she passed, the affidavit said, the suspect produced “what appeared to be a shiny rigid object” and followed her.

The pair dropped from view as they reached the creek bank, though, and the suspect wasn’t seen on video again for two-plus hours.

Police said they hadn’t recovered a crime scene weapon, however, and Acevedo wouldn’t speculate on motive.

Criner was jailed in Travis County on a $1 million bond. Judge Brenda Kennedy, who set the bond, signed the arrest warrant affidavit that states “there is sufficient probable cause to support the charge of murder.”

Texas Department of Family and Protective Services spokeswoman Julie Moody said Criner “had been in Child Protective Services care” but that she couldn’t elaborate on where, for how long, or provide any further details, citing privacy rules and the ongoing criminal investigation.

THUMBS UP, THUMBS DOWN

Local dancer among elite The Northwest Herald Editorial Board offers this week’s thumbs up and thumbs down: Thumbs up: To Prairie Ridge senior Catherine Lasak, one of 12 dancers worldwide accepted into Juilliard’s Dance Division. Along with 12 men, they will make up the entire dance class admitted in 2016 to the school’s dance division. Lasak, 17, has worked for the past five years at the Judith Svalander School of Ballet in Crystal Lake and spent the summer of 2014 and 2015 at the School of American Ballet in New York City.

Thumbs up: To a milder road construction season for McHenry County. Some repaving work, crack sealing and bridge replacements still will cause delays, but they aren’t large, expensive projects that will have us navigating detours for years.

The two remaining major road projects, Route 14 between Woodstock and Crystal Lake and Route 31 south of McHenry, are wrapping up this year.

It will be a well-deserved break from construction for McHenry County commuters.

Thumbs down: To Illinois legislators who returned to work this week but worked on seemingly everything except a state budget. Illinois is in month No. 10 without a state budget, and nobody in Springfield feels the urgency to pass one. Instead, the state continues to spend at levels beyond fiscal 2015 and beyond our means. But, hey, the House did approve a measure that allows catfish to be hunted with a pitchfork.

Thumbs up: To the McHenry County Community Foundation for its generosity in awarding $250,000 in grants to many programs and specific social service undertakings around the area. These donations are vital to keeping communities strong.

Thumbs-up: To the release of the so-called “Panama Papers,” a collection of documents from Panamanian law firm Mossack Fonseca showing the world how the rich and powerful – including many world leaders – use shell companies to hide their wealth from scrutiny and taxes. The first release of documents has led the Prime Minister of Iceland to resign, and Britain’s Prime Minister David Cameron to admit that he had profited from an offshore trust. It also caused some discomfort for Russia’s Vladimir Putin, who was connected to complex offshore financial deals that channeled as much as $2 billion to those connected to him. Others whose names have surfaced in the documents include American businessmen charged with or convicted of financial crimes, and relatives of President Xi Jinping of China. Here’s a question: If these revelations are embarrassing enough to lead world leaders to resign or apologize, then shouldn’t it be illegal?

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

ANOTHER VIEW

Tax inversion plan doesn’t go far enough “One of the most insidious tax loopholes out there” just got a little smaller, but President Barack Obama, who announced the change Tuesday with much fanfare, didn’t go nearly far enough: The tax code itself, not just its loopholes, is what needs fixing.

It’s hard to overstate just how bad the U.S. corporate tax code is. Imagine it was designed by foreign saboteurs – and prepare to be impressed by their ingenuity.

It taxes profits at 35 percent, one of the highest rates in the world.

This excessive rate applies to a base riddled with exemptions and exceptions. U.S. companies pay taxes on their non-U.S. earnings, but only when the money is brought home, thus creating an incentive to park profits abroad. In these and other ways, the system manages to combine maximum economic damage with relatively meager revenue collection.

To avoid this tax, some U.S. companies have bought smaller foreign firms and switched

their residence for tax purposes overseas. These are the so-called inversions new Treasury rules are intended to block. They may already have had an effect, with Pfizer’s termination of its $160 billion takeover of Allergan.

A sensible tax system would eliminate the incentives for inversions and for parking income abroad. Actions such as the administration’s shouldn’t be confused with reform.

In fact, they make the code even more complicated when it desperately needs to be simpler.

By relying on executive discretion rather than legislation, they make the system less predictable. Worst of all, they leave in place the excessive basic rate, from which so many other problems flow.

There are two basic approaches to fixing the system. The less radical option would be to set a lower, internationally competitive tax rate and then apply it to a broader, simpler base.

Merely doing that would help a lot. However, where international companies are concerned, efficient taxation also requires

much closer cooperation among governments. This would be easier if the U.S., like almost all other governments, were to adopt a territorial system, which taxes profits according to where they’re earned, not according to where the company resides.

The more radical option would be to abolish corporate taxes altogether, and treat business income as just another form of personal income – taxing it not at the company level, but as ordinary income when passed on to investors. This approach may seem far-fetched, but it’s worth considering.

One of its biggest advantages is that it would bring progressivity to corporate taxes. Taxing corporate income as personal income would lower the rate paid by ordinary taxpayers and (assuming revenue neutrality) raise the rate paid by the rich. A fair tax system is one that’s moderately progressive: Abolishing the corporate tax would serve that purpose.

Obama needs to settle on one of these approaches.

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

called difference-in-differences. Never mind that Snow was concerned with a very different public policy issue – the effect of water contamination on cholera rates. His technique applies equally well in our setting. Here’s how it works.

First, we calculated the difference in the percentage of state legislative elections won by Republican candidates before and after 2010 in states that previously restricted independent spending. This difference measures the combined effect of Citizens United as well as that of Obamacare, the recession and any other factor on electoral outcomes. In estimating this effect, we controlled for as many known variables as we could, including how much money a candidate’s campaign raised directly from donors.

We then computed the same difference for states that did not restrict independent spending. This difference measures the effect of Obamacare, the recession, etc., but not Citizens United.

Lastly, we took the difference between the first and the second numbers. This final difference represents the effect of the factor we know was present in the first group of states but not the second: Citizens United.

With this approach, we found the chance of Republican candidates winning state legislative seats increased by about four percentage points on average as a result of Citizens United, and by 10 or more percentage points in

several states. The decision also made it more difficult to unseat Republican officeholders, cementing the already strong financial advantage of political incumbents, and reduced the number of Democratic candidates who ran for office. Finally, the data provide evidence Citizens United discouraged ordinary people from making monetary contributions to candidates’ campaigns, an effect feared by critics of the decision early on.

What does this mean for the future?

Corporate- and union-backed super PACs and other groups are expected to pour hundreds of millions of dollars into this year’s federal and state races.

Given this staggering magnitude, independent political expenditures are sure to receive renewed scrutiny by politicians and the public in the years to come – and may, perhaps, one day be revisited by the Supreme Court.

The saliency of the issue stems from the belief unlimited outside spending in elections, even if protected by the First Amendment, affects outcomes.

The evidence shows that such effects are measurable and real.

A convention coup endangers Republican party

By FRANCIS WILKINSON Bloomberg View

There are three plausible outcomes awaiting the Republican Party at its July convention in Cleveland. Each scenario offers a unique, unhappy-family style of misery to its members.

• Trump wins: This still seems to me the most likely outcome. To date, Trump has acquired 743 delegates, Texas Sen. Cruz has won 517 delegates and Ohio Gov. John Kasich, who appears to be playing a different sport on a distant field, has 143.

The American system of elections is not immutable. It has changed considerably over the years. Sometimes the changes are huge. Sometimes, they’re relatively small.

However, one theme runs consistently through American history: The

candidate with the most votes wins, just as in sports, where the team with the most points wins.

Trump almost certainly will have the most points heading to Cleveland.

It may be well and proper, under party rules, to deny him the nomination. It also will be widely considered – by his supporters, above all – as undemocratic, un-American and crooked.

• Cruz wins: One scenario might mitigate much of the negative fallout of bypassing Trump. If Trump continues his erratic ways, his campaign maintains its apparent dysfunction and Cruz increases his vote share in the primaries to edge closer to Trump in total delegates, he might have a viable claim to overtake Trump at the convention.

Cruz could point out Trump’s momentum stopped after voters got a good, long look at him, and that Republicans

then switched their loyalty to Cruz.

Cruz is a smart politician with an effective organization. He also possesses, or at least pretends to, some of the anarchic qualities that make Trump so appealing to voters who have given up on conventional politics. His core voters may hate slightly different things than Trump voters hate, but Cruz could prove politically skillful enough to build a bridge of loathing between them.

• Establishment fantasy scenario: This is the outcome many Republicans in Washington, D.C., who fear Trump and detest Cruz, seem to dream about.

In this case, Trump and Cruz go into the national convention having won the vast majority of delegates between them. In voting for Trump and Cruz, this majority has proved contemptuous and distrustful of Republican elites,

and eager to humiliate and punish them for perceived failures and betrayals.

Under the fantasy scenario, members of that detested elite then finagle a nomination that disrespects and repudiates the votes of those millions of Republican primary voters. Instead, in an outcome that will variously be described with words such as “backroom” and “coup” and “treason,” the establishment engineers a nomination for someone such as House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wisconsin, who didn’t compete in the primaries, or, even more unlikely, Kasich.

There is much consternation among Republican leaders that a Trump nomination would break the party, but the outcome most likely to break the party is the one in which Republican elites crown one of their own.

• Saturday, April 9, 2016

In January 2010, the Supreme Court issued its decision in Citizens United v. FEC. In this landmark ruling, the court held the First Amendment prohibits the government from restricting independent political expenditures by corporations and labor unions. Proponents hailed the decision as a victory for free speech, while opponents – including both remaining 2016 Democratic presidential candidates – have criticized the court for opening the floodgates to unprecedented amounts of money in U.S. elections.

As the country gets set to elect its next president, along with 435 representatives, 34 senators and thousands of state and local office holders, what do we know about the effects of independent political spending in elections? Quite a bit, it turns out, if we look in the right places. Those places are the states.

Unlike the federal government, some states never restricted independent political expenditures and were, therefore, unaffected by the Citizens United decision. Other states had restricted such expenditures and were forced to remove the restrictions after the ruling. In a study that will be published in a forthcoming issue of the Journal of Law and Economics,

we analyzed data from more than 38,000 state legislative races between 2000 and 2012, in both groups of states.

Our objective was to figure out what impact, if any, Citizens United had on who gets elected to state legislative office. In states that previously banned corporate and union expenditures, we found Citizens United shifted the odds of electoral success detectably and in a clear direction: from Democratic to Republican candidates.

Many things determine who wins on Election Day, and simple correlations don’t automatically indicate causal effects. States that were forced to lift their bans on independent expenditures may have elected more Republicans in 2010, but this surge could have been caused by a reaction to the passage of the Affordable Care Act, the recession or any other issue on voters’ minds at the time. And while states with independent expenditure bans may have elected more Democrats before 2010 than did states without such bans, this does not necessarily have anything to do with how the states regulated election finance.

There are many reasons some states vote differently from others, including historical, cultural and demographic differences.

So how can we isolate the effect of a specific factor such as Citizens United? Enter John Snow, a British doctor and epidemiologist who, in 1855, pioneered a statistical approach

Weather may affect apple season

By MICHAEL HILL

The Associated Press ALBANY, N.Y. – Apple farmers in the East worry the late-season Arctic blast could take a big bite from their budding crops.

“It definitely was cold enough so that there could be some catastrophic damage to the majority of the apple crop,” said Jake Samascott, whose family grows about 100 acres of apples on their farm south of Albany.

The unseasonably cold air moved into Northeast and mid-Atlantic states this week shortly after a warm spell sped up bud growth on apple trees.

Buds become more sensitive to cold as they mature, making the cold snap especially troubling in big apple-producing states such as New York. Farmers are starting to assess the damage this week with another round of plummeting temperatures looming.

“We have at least one more cold night by the end of the weekend, early next week, if forecasts hold, to get through,” said Ben Wenk of Three Springs Fruit Farm in Aspers, Pennsylvania, southwest of Harrisburg. “And of course there’s not a whole lot we can do about it.”

Farmers are already checking individual buds for damage but don’t expect to have an estimate of losses until next week at the earliest.

Samascott said his orchard could lose 90 percent of its apple crop because of temperatures that dipped to 10 degrees and below. Three Springs could lose half its early varieties such as Honeycrisp and Gala. Wenk also is worried about his peaches, blueberries and strawberries.

Some apple farmers try to mitigate damage by employing windmill-like machines to direct warmer air at the trees, but they are still left playing a waiting game.

“It’s almost too early to tell, but I still feel we have a crop,” said Dwight Baugher

of Baugher’s Orchards & Farm in Westminster, Maryland. He said his apple crop “got smacked pretty good” with overnight temperatures in the mid to low 20s this week.

Damage will vary from farm to farm depending on varieties, how low local temperatures dropped and how far along the buds were. Losses can even vary around a single farm, with trees in colder valleys affected while trees on a hillside escape harm. Some orchards farther north, such as in New York’s Champlain Valley, are expected to escape large-scale damage because of their later growing season.

“Individual farms, some will skate through and they’ll be fine and there are others that probably won’t have a crop, and economically it will be pretty tough,” said Jim Eve of Eve Farm Service, who monitors farms in western New York.

At G and S Orchards in the western New York town of Walworth, farmer Stephanie Craft said she is trying to stay positive. Temperatures bottomed out briefly earlier this week at 11 degrees, but her trees’ buds where not as far along as those across the state in the Hudson Valley.

“I think we’re going to – knock on wood – be all right,” she said.

U.S.: Chinese Internet filters a trade barrier

By JOE McDONALD The Associated Press

BEIJING – The American government has cited Chinese Internet controls as a trade barrier in a report that comes as Beijing tries to block its public from seeing news online about the finances of leaders’ families.

Chinese filters, which block access to websites including the Google search engine and social media such as Twitter, are a “significant burden” on businesses, the U.S. Trade Representative said in an annual report on trade conditions.

It gave no indication Washington plans to take action but highlights the economic cost of pervasive Chinese censorship that also draws criticism from human rights and pro-democracy activists.

On such issues, Washington is at odds with Beijing, which sees strict control over information as essential to protecting the Communist Party’s monopoly on power.

China restricts access to online materials by requiring traffic to pass through state-controlled gateways linked to the global Internet. Controls have been tightened since President Xi Jinping became party leader in 2012.

The filters, known informally as the Great Firewall of China, are in line with Beijing’s advocacy of “Internet sovereignty,” or allowing governments to impose control on the freewheeling Internet within their borders. Xi called in a speech in December for the creation of a global “governance system” for cyberspace.

This week, Chinese Web users have been blocked from seeing news reports about documents from a law firm in Panama that say relatives of political figures including Xi own offshore companies.

State media have carried brief reports

Chinese regulators block access not just to websites operated by human rights or pro-democracy activists but also to dozens of news, entertainment and social media services that operate freely in other countries.

“Outright blocking of websites appears to have worsened over the past year, with eight of the top 25 most-trafficked global sites now blocked in China,” the USTR said in its National Trade Estimate.

It said much of the blocking appears to be arbitrary, including a home improvement website in the United States.

Asked about the complaint, a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman said Beijing welcomes foreign investment and protects the rights of foreign companies.

“Polices aimed at attracting foreign investment will not change, nor will policies to protect their lawful rights and interests and to create a good business environment,” said Hong Lei on Friday at a regular briefing. “We hope all countries can respect another nation’s choice of the route for Internet development, Internet management and Internet public policy, as well as its right to participate in regulating the international Internet.”

Foreign and local companies in China that rely on the Internet for sales, accounting and other internal functions complain the filters hinder their operations.

Almost 80 percent of companies that responded to a survey released in January by the American Chamber of Commerce in China said they were “negatively impacted” by the controls.

LOS ANGELES – A judge has granted Charlie Sheen’s ex-fiancée a temporary restraining order after she accused the actor of threatening her.

A Los Angeles Superior Court judge approved the stayaway order Friday based on Scottine Ross’ application stating she was fearful of the actor because he purportedly threatened her life and because of two alleged incidents of domestic abuse.

Los Angeles police said they’re investigating Sheen after receiving a criminal report last week. They haven’t identified the alleged victim or the exact nature of the investigation.

Actress Anne Hathaway gives birth to first child

Actress Lupita Nyong’o attends the 2016 Variety’s Power of Women: New York, presented by Lifetime, on Friday at Cipriani Midtown in New York.

Celebs honored for philanthropy at Power of Women event NEW YORK – Host Billy Eichner quipped at Variety’s Power of Women luncheon Friday that he wasn’t being paid nearly enough for the emcee job he was doing – and that’s why he knows what it’s like to be a woman in Hollywood.

But otherwise, the event focused squarely on the serious philanthropic efforts of the celebrity honorees, who included two Oscar-winning actresses (Lupita Nyong’o and Julianne Moore), a Fox anchor much in the news this election season (Megyn Kelly), a trailblazing ballerina (Misty Copeland), a top fashion designer (Vera Wang), and a TV star (Mariska Hargitay).

Copeland, who is the first black female principal dancer at American Ballet Theatre and has become a star far beyond the confines of the dance world, was the first to accept an award, honored for her efforts to diversify her art form.

She spoke of overcoming hardship in her youth to arrive at the pinnacle of the heavily white ballet world. “I was discovered at a local Boys & Girls Club, on a basketball court,” she said. “I went from living in a motel to dancing at the Metropolitan Opera House.” Her charity, Project Plie, launched with ABT in 2013, uses a similar model working with Boys & Girls clubs across the country to help increase diversity in dance, she said. The lesson: “Representation matters,” Copeland said.

Nyong’o, a 2014 Oscar winner currently appearing on Broadway in “Eclipsed,” spoke of her work with Mother Health International, an organization providing relief to pregnant women and to children in areas of disaster, war and extreme poverty, working with midwives, for example, in rural areas. “We live in a world where the war on women can be felt around the globe,” she said. “But we are fighting back, refusing to be silenced, refusing to be shut down.”

LOS ANGELES – Anne Hathaway is a first-time mother.

E! reported Thursday that the Oscar-winning star of “Les Miserables” and husband Adam Shulman welcomed a son named Jonathan Rosebanks Shulman on March 24.

Hathaway’s spokesman Stephen Huvane confirmed the report.

The Academy Award-winning star of such films as “The Devil Wears Prada,” “The Intern” and “Love & Other Drugs” posted a close-up photo of her baby bump with her Oscar statue on Instagram on Feb. 28.

Hathaway and actor-producer Shulman married in 2012.

Springsteen cancels show because of N.C. law

GREENSBORO, N.C. – Bruce Springsteen canceled his concert in North Carolina, citing the state’s new law blocking anti-discrimination rules covering the LGBT community.

In a statement on his website Friday, Springsteen said he was canceling the concert scheduled for Sunday in Greensboro because of the law, which critics say discriminates against gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people.

Springsteen said the law “is an attempt by people who cannot stand the progress our

country has made in recognizing the human rights of all of our citizens to overturn that progress.”

Because of that, he said he and the E Street Band must “show solidarity with those freedom fighters.”

British royal couple to be watched during India trip

NEW DELHI – When the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge arrive in India on what’s being called their most ambitious tour to date, they’ll encounter starry-eyed giddiness along with a hint of nostalgia harkening to a 1992 visit by Princess Diana. Prince William’s mother created a firestorm of attention when she posed alone in front of the Taj Mahal, the marble mausoleum known as a monument to love because it was built by a Mughal emperor to entomb his beloved wife.

Newspaper headlines crowed suggestions that Diana was delivering a hidden message about the end of her marriage to Prince Charles. And the photo, as well as her close relationship with Mother Teresa, helped make Diana hugely popular in the country.

India, despite its fractious past in the British Empire, has always loved reading about the British royals, especially the duke and duchess. Their young children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte, will not join the trip, which begins Sunday in Mumbai.

NEW YORK – N.W.A. triumphantly entered the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Friday, with the groundbreaking quintet that brought the rough streets of Los Angeles into homes through their music defiantly refuting those who suggested rappers didn’t belong in the institution.

They joined the rock hall in a ceremony at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center with 1970s-era rock acts Cheap Trick, Chicago, Deep Purple and Steve Miller.

For all the success, some traditional rockers have resisted the inclusion of rap acts into the hall, most prominent being on Kiss’ Gene Simmons, whose band was inducted last year.

“I want to say to Gene Simmons, hiphop is here forever,” MC Ren said. “Get used to it.”

Rock ’n’ roll is not just a musical style but a spirit that connects people, be they bluesmen or punk rockers, Ice Cube said.

“Rock ’n’ roll is not conforming to the people who came before you but creating your own path in music and in life,” he said.

Named for one of N.W.A.’s bestknown songs, the movie “Straight Outta Compton” told the band’s story and was one of the biggest box office winners of

2015. They were inducted by one of music’s hottest artists, Kendrick Lamar, who said N.W.A. members were heroes to kids like him growing up. They “proved to every kid in the ghetto that you could be successful and still have your voice while doing it.”

Chicago was known for a brassy, jazzrock fusion in its early days and settled into a comfortable career penning pop hits. Among their favorites were “Sat-

urday in the Park,” “25 or 6 to 4,” “If You Leave Me Now” and “Does Anyone Really Know What Time it Is?” Singer Rob Thomas, while inducting Chicago, indicated that Chicago was tougher and more innovative than people had given them credit for.

“If you think Chicago was your mom’s band, man I want to party with your mom,” Thomas said.

He then joined the band for a verse

of “Does Anyone Really Know What Time it Is.” The band still is active. In his acceptance speech, member Lee Loughnane said he wanted to thank “my ex-wives for making sure I have to keep working.”

The pride of Rockford, Cheap Trick’s career soared in the late 1970s when a live album recorded before a gleeful Japanese audience added excitement to tracks like “Surrender” and “I Want You to Want Me.” Turning up the volume for the night, they performed both songs.

“In 1974, we rehearsed three times in (guitarist) Rick (Nielsen’s) garage and never stopped touring since,” singer Robin Zander said.

They were inducted by a fellow Midwesterner, Detroit’s Kid Rock, who noted that most bands in attendance that night consider themselves great live acts.

“Then you go and see Cheap Trick,” he said. “That’s when you think, we kind of suck. I better step up my game.”

Cheap Trick led the traditional jam session that ends the show, which started and ended with “Ain’t That a Shame.”

The rock hall also paid tribute Friday to two recently deceased rockers, with David Byrne and the Roots collaborating on David Bowie’s “Fame,” and Sheryl Crow singing the Eagles’ “New Kid in Town” to honor the late Glenn Frey.

Bench warmer

Updated built-in breakfast nook brings practicality to kitchen

By MELISSA RAYWORTH The Associated Press

The term “breakfast nook” sounds hopelessly trapped in the 1970s, but modern homeowners are embracing the style and practicality of built-in seating in the kitchen.

“The idea of the built-in, with the kids piled in it and the pillows” can bring the casual fun of a beach house or farmhouse to any home, said Massachusetts-based interior designer Kristina Crestin, featured this season on “This Old House.”

Maxwell Ryan, founder of ApartmentTherapy.com, said built-in seating can maximize space in smaller kitchens and highlight a window view. It can become the most distinctive design element in your home.

“People, especially children, will gravitate toward it,” Ryan said. “Who doesn’t like to get a booth at the diner over a table?”

Practical and pretty

For homeowners with an open-plan kitchen, built-in seating creates a cozy gathering place that functions like a formal dining room but is right in the heart of the cooking and socializing.

In smaller kitchens, a nook allows the dining table to be positioned along a wall or in a corner without looking as if it were stuffed awkwardly out of the way.

Built-ins also offer lots of space for storage.

“The space underneath a built-in banquette is ripe with possibilities,” said stylist and crafter Marianne Canada, host of the “HGTV Crafternoon” web series.

Closed cabinets can be designed to match your existing cabinetry or you can add open shelving, she said, to “add texture with baskets, show off your cookbook collection, even use it to store large ceramic bowls that take up too much cabinet space.”

Just be sure the design of the built-in seating area matches the architecture of the rest of the house, Crestin said. If the breakfast nook will include a window, she said, consider the height of the sill and whether it will hit the backs of people seated along the wall.

Also, be sure to use a pedestal table so you’re not bumping into table legs when sliding into the seats.

Cool variations

If you can’t commit to a fully built-in breakfast area – or if you worry your kitchen will look too much like a roadside diner – Canada suggests adding a banquette to just one side of the kitchen dining area. “This gives you the best of both worlds,” she said, “an architectural

Today’s more flexible spin on a breakfast nook offers a built-in bench on one side, with an open space where homeowners can set up a table and chairs, as shown in this kitchen designed by Kristina Crestin. feature that provides storage and easy seating and the opportunity to mix things up with chairs.”

This approach is cheaper to build and easier to remove if you want something different later.

One popular option: Extend the bench the entire length of one wall, installing storage underneath.

“A table at one end for kitchen dining, general seating for those times when everyone ends up in the kitchen and a space near the door that serves as a landing area for shoes, backpacks and jackets,” Canada said.

“Add some hooks above the bench and baskets below, and you’ll find that clutter disappears effortlessly.”

Fabrics

One big draw of built-in kitchen seating is the softness and color of the cushions and pillows. A tip from Crestin: Invest in high-quality fabric in a pattern and colors that are neutral enough you can love them for years to come. Then get really creative with fabrics for loose pillows, spending a bit less so you can swap those out seasonally for new ones when the urge strikes.

To highlight the fabrics, Ryan suggests painting the backrest area in a coordinating color.

If you love this look but want to avoid the commitment and cost, you can create a faux version. Ryan suggests installing a large upholstered bench along one wall and painting the wall around it with semi-gloss paint (easily wiped clean) to highlight the space. Add pillows, and you’ve got a perfectly cozy space where guests can lean back and enjoy your kitchen.

Pinching is pruning

While it stunts overall plant growth, pruning – some kinds – can stimulate growth right where you cut. Picture a

AP photo

young shoot of a tomato plant or maple tree. Unpruned, such a stem will continue to grow from its tip, and side branches may or may not grow out further down the stem.

The lightest pruning would be to use your thumbnail and forefinger to pinch out the soft, growing end of the shoot.

This pinch not only causes growth to falter briefly, but also causes dormant, lateral buds farther down the stem to be awakened into growth.

Pinching, then, is useful for slowing stem growth – to direct the energies of a tomato plant in late summer to ripening fruits, for example – and to encourage branching, as on a potted avocado tree whose single, lanky stem looks ungainly.

You also could prune a stem more drastically, with pruning shears. This type of cut is called a heading cut, and plant response depends on how drastically you cut back a stem.

If you cut a young stem back by a third, buds that might have stayed dormant on its remaining part will now be prompted to grow, and they will do so more enthusiastically than if the stem had just been pinched. Shorten that same stem by two-thirds, and the resulting new growth will be even more vigorous, but fewer buds will be awakened.

The more vigorous a stem is before it is headed back, the more enthusiastic its response to such pruning. As a general rule, the more vertical the stem’s orientation, the greater its inherent vigor.

And heading cuts into 1-year-old wood elicit more enthusiastic responses than do cuts into older wood.

Too many gardeners irreverently hack back their plants in an effort to get rid of unwanted growth, and then bemoan the dense and vigorous regrowth from these heading cuts.

Nonetheless, in the right situation, a heading cut is a useful pruning technique. There are situations when vigorous, new growth is needed: to make

Thin crowded branches

What happens if, instead of cutting off only part of a stem, you remove it completely, or cut it back to a larger branch?

This type of pruning cut is called a thinning cut, and the plant’s response is: nothing, near the cut. Or at least very little.

Use thinning cuts when you want to remove unwanted growth, such as in the center of a tree or bush. Or when you want to bring down the height of a tree.

(Remove one or more of the tallest limbs to their point of origin.)

Reserve pinches and heading cuts for situations where you want branching and lush regrowth.

Before you even bring your pruning shear, lopper or saw near a stem or branch, decide what your plant needs.

Whether it’s a marigold, apple tree or lilac bush, its response to a pinch, a heading cut or a thinning cut is more or less predictable.

a strong trunk on a young tree; to create new, bearing wood for fruits or flowers; to create a decorative effect; to invigorate a frail stem. A heading cut also is the cut of choice where you want branching, such as on a newly planted tree consisting of only a single upright stem.

• Saturday, April 9, 2016

In the short space that follows, I think I can guide you on how to prune any plant, from a midget marigold to a mighty oak.

That’s because all plants respond similarly to pruning. Once you understand that response and are clear on your goals, you can just go ahead and cut.

First, let’s get one thing straight: Pruning stunts plants, which may in itself be a reason to prune.

Other reasons might be: In a younger plant, pruning can direct growth so the plant can develop strong, well-placed limbs that bathe in light and air. That also can speed drying and thus limit the threat of disease.

An older plant might need pruning to invigorate it, do away with decrepit stems and keep healthy stems bathed in light and air. So pruning often is needed whether or not size control is desired. If size control is not your goal, minimize pruning to what is absolutely necessary.

Heading for branches

Pinching the tip of this avocado plant coaxed growth from the top bud.

How to reduce ‘sundowning’ Dear Dr. K: My husband and I are in our early 80s. Sometimes in the evening he is agitated, confused and just quite a handful to deal with. The doctor says he has “sundowning.” What is it, and is there anything I can do?

Dear reader: Some older people have trouble concentrating, grow agitated or even confused and become especially fatigued at the end of the day. This phenomenon is known as “sundowning” because its effects tend to coincide with sunset – usually occurring in the late afternoon into the evening, then settling down late at night.

Sundowning behavior is quite common in people with dementia. However, it also can occur in older people without dementia.

Sundowning is more likely to occur in an unfamiliar environment in a dark place. In a previous column about sundowning, I described a patient who never experienced it at home. However, sometimes when she and her husband traveled, it would happen in a hotel room at night. Sundowning occurs quite often in hospitalized patients.

Sundowning needs to be taken seriously, because it can lead to falls and fractured bones as people get out of bed in their confusion and trip over something.

Sundowning isn’t an illness; it’s a temporary condition, and we don’t entirely understand what causes it. But we do know some ways you and your husband can alleviate its effects: • Keep a daily log and jot down events that seem to trigger symptoms. For instance, too much noise or the act of preparing dinner could be a trigger. Once you and your husband recognize these triggers, you can work on ways to avoid them.

SUDOKU

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff

• Stick to a regular schedule. Take walks or exercise at the same time each day, preferably early in the day. Eat an early dinner and go to sleep at the same time each night.

• Schedule appointments, trips and activities in the morning. Limit obligations in the late afternoon hours.

• Take a late afternoon rest. Just putting his feet up and closing his eyes for a short respite can help preserve your husband’s energy and prevent end-of-day fatigue.

• Prevent overstimulation by reducing noise from televisions or stereos.

• Reduce food and beverages that contain caffeine or restrict them to early morning hours. Caffeine can stay in his system for as long as 16 hours and interrupt his sleep. Poor quality sleep also may contribute to sundowning.

• When he begins to feel symptoms, he should either rest or do something familiar that relaxes him, such as reading the newspaper.

• Fortunately, sundowning is not usually a sign of a serious underlying problem. But because it can lead to falls and fractures, try some of the things you and your husband can do yourselves.

If they don’t help, ask his doctor if testing of his intellectual function might be required. But I’ll bet that won’t prove necessary.

That you would feel sad is natural because there is loss involved in the demise of your relationship with Mimi. And so this doesn’t happen in your next relationship, I’m advising you to discuss this with a therapist. You have some grieving to do, and it would be better if you don’t do it alone.

DEAR ABBY About a year ago, my daughJeanne ter befriended Phillips a schoolmate.

After numerous playdates, our families have become close.

While my family is atheist, we know this family is devoutly Christian. Recently, after I mentioned in conversation we “weren’t religious,” they invited us to their church for service. I diplomatically declined, but it felt awkward having told the mom our non-beliefs.

Since then, this family invites us to church constantly, and the mom routinely brings up Scripture while we’re talking. I feel like they are trying to convert us. I’m hurt that the respect we have extended to this family isn’t being reciprocated. How do I let her know she’s being disrespectful to me and my family’s beliefs without jeopardizing the friendship between our families? – Atheist In The South Dear Atheist: I can’t guarantee the woman won’t take offense, but it’s less likely if you refrain from using the word “disrespectful.”

Try to remember she thinks she’s offering you the keys to the kingdom of heaven. It might be gentler if you told her in light of the fact you are an atheist, you find what she’s trying to do to be “hurtful.”

Continue to politely refuse her invitations to attend her church. If she’s in the habit of quoting Scripture in normal conversation, you will have to grit your teeth and tolerate it.

(Remember, we all have freedom of expression.) But I can’t guarantee you always will remain as close as you have been, not because she’s hurt you’re not interested in being converted, but because at some point you may find her behavior so annoying you will end the relationship.

Dear Abby: My wife, “Mimi,” and I have been married nine years and together for 14.

We have agreed that while we love each other, we no longer are “in love.” We have stayed together because we’re comfortable.

Mimi just has informed me she’s pregnant with someone else’s baby and will be moving out soon. She is all I have known since we have been together. I feel lost and confused and sad. Do you have any advice? – Deeply

best. Romance will brighten your day and improve your personal life.

207 S. Fleming Rd. A few weeks ago, we looked at the Michaels Cue-Bid. It is the last of my conventions that should be in (almost) all pairs’ repertoires.

When the opening bid is one of a minor, if the next player bids two of that suit, it shows at least 5-5 in the major suits. When the opening bid is one of a major, if the next player bids two of that suit, it promises at least 5-5 in the unbid major and either minor. It is a great convention when the employers win the auction, but when they end up on defense, they have given declarer an accurate map of the deal -- as in today’s example.

West’s two-spade cue-bid showed hearts and a minor. North doubled to indicate a good hand. Then, when South did not double three hearts for penalty, North took a shot at four spades.

How should South play after West leads the heart king? (It is rarely right to lead a singleton with only one trump.)

This contract needs careful timing.

South should win the second heart trick with his ace and draw two rounds of trumps, getting the expected bad news. Undaunted, declarer takes dummy’s top clubs, happy to see West discard. South ruffs a club in his hand, ruffs a heart in the dummy, ruffs a club, plays a diamond to dummy’s ace, and ruffs dummy’s last club.

South’s 10 tricks are two spades, one heart, one diamond, two clubs, three club ruffs in hand, and one heart ruff in the dummy. Both opponents win the last two tricks, West with his red-suit tops and East with his high trumps.

We say that South eloped with his trumps.

and I came up with the mindset of trying to do my job and get the run in, no matter what it took,” said Kruse, who sent a 3-2 pitch into right-center field.

“I just battled with two strikes and got a base hit. It was a little off the end of the bat, but it was a solid knock.”

The Whips hope they can draw from the positive outcome if put in that situation again.

“This is a huge victory for us because we’ve had two or three leads slip at the end,” Whips designated hitter Jake Manning said. “This one showed we dealt with some adversity and came back and won a close game, especially against a team from the other side of the conference.”

Manning delivered the key hit for Hampshire in the fifth inning with runners on first and second. Sarna called for a hit-and-run on a 2-1 pitch and Manning ripped an RBI single to left field. Kruse walked to load the bases and a wild pitch brought in one run

before Carter Lawler’s two-RBI single.

“With runners in scoring position I was just looking to get a pitch I could drive,” Manning said. “I was [surprised]. We work hit-and-run a lot with one runner, but never with two runners. It worked out in that situation.”

McHenry (6-4, 1-2 FVC Valley) got a big game from designated hitter Mike Lasiewicz, who was 3 for 4 with four RBIs. Lasiewicz’s soft liner up the middle found its way to center field to tie the score at 6-6 in the seventh.

“It was nice to come back, but it was like a bad day,” Warriors coach Brian Rockweiler said. “We’re not playing real well right now.”

Hampshire’s two previous games ended with a 4-3 loss to South Elgin in a game the Whips had led, and a 7-7 suspended game with Crystal Lake South, after Hampshire had a 5-1 lead in the fifth inning.

“We don’t give up, we just don’t know how to finish,” Sarna said.

RBI groundout by Dehmlow. McHenry also got a run-scoring hit from Amanda Manssen, and scored two more runs on wild pitches.

“Our energy was way up the last few innings,” said Martens, who went 2 for 3 with two doubles, two runs and one RBI. “There were girls on the bench screaming at the top of their lungs. I think, after the cold and everything, our bats warmed up and we just started going that last inning.”

Amaya Saldana took the loss for the Thunder, allowing five runs (four earned) with four strikeouts and four walks in 51/3 innings. Two more runs against Saldana were unlucky, as a couple of fly balls died in the wind and dropped in the shallow outfield.

“We have those mental errors that hit us all the time,” Thunder coach Pete Riis said. “We’ve got to work on that, because it makes our pitchers throw more. Cold weather, what we have to do is learn to anticipate. When it’s cold, the weather is going to slow the bounce of the balls down.”

Caitlin Senn and Taeya Beard had singles for for Thunder, and Senn added a run.

WRESTLING

Area’s best ready for McHenry vs. Lake all-star meet

By JOHN WILKINSON

jwilkinson@shawmedia.com Sitting around at December’s Dvorak Invitational, Crystal Lake Central wrestling coach Justen Lehr proposed an idea to his Fox Valley Conference colleague BJ Bertlesman of Huntley.

The idea was a local postseason meet to celebrate the area’s best outgoing seniors. That thought evolved throughout the rest of the season and eventually turned into the Fight for the Fox All-Star wrestling meet, scheduled to take place at 6 p.m. Saturday night at Huntley.

“I was a little cautious, being that we didn’t plan it before the year, but we thought we’d let it ride and see what happens,” Bertelsman said. “When I was in high school, I was from Southern Illinois and I was lucky enough to wrestle in the Illinois-Indiana Duals and we also had a Metro East vs. St. Louis dual.

“It’s a good way to kind of outgoing congratulations to the senions and especially in our area we have a lot of good kids and we cover the map in terms of 3A, 2A and even some 1A. Get these kids together and see what would happen.”

Fight for the Fox All-Star Wrestling Match n McHenry vs. Lake County n 6 p.m. at Huntley High School n Tickets: $5 for adults, $3 for students and children n Local wrestlers participating: Travis Piotrowski (Prairie Ridge), Trace Conlon (McHenry), Derek Neises (McHenry), John Cullen (Cary-Grove), Chris Dranka (Jacobs), Michael Petersen (Crystal Lake Central), Wylie Allen (Hampshire), Kevin Zange (Woodstock), Dean Lane (Jacobs), Randy Kline (Woodstock North), Nick Sundberg (Woodstock), Christian Brunner (DundeeCrown), Austin Parks (Crystal Lake Central), Dom Swanson (Huntley), Dereck Pearson (Prairie Ridge) Bertelsman said the idea had initially been to put together an all-McHenry County All-Star dual, but they struggled with the depth and numbers. Their next idea was a local rivalry of sorts: east vs. west, Lake (with some Cook) County vs. McHenry County.

The McHenry County lineup will

be headlined by seven state placers, including undefeated state champions Travis Piotrowski of Prairie Ridge and Christian Brunner from Dundee-Crown.

Other local state placers participating are Michael Petersen of Crystal Lake Central, Wylie Allen from Hampshire, Kevin Zange of Woodstock, Austin Parks from Crystal Lake Central and Dereck Pearson from Prairie Ridge.

Filling out the local side of the lineup will be: Trace Conlon (McHenry), Derek Neises (McHenry), John Cullen (Cary-Grove), Chris Dranka (Jacobs), Dean Lane (Jacobs), Randy Kline (Woodstock North), Nick Sundberg (Woodstock) and Dom Swanson (Huntley).

“I grew up with these kids, some for more than just these for years,” Petersen said. “It’s really cool to be able to wrestle with them one more time.”

The East lineup will feature four state placers, led by 3A runner up at 170, Sage Heller of Deerfield.

“There is a problem of a lot of these guys saw each other at sectionals or even during the year, but we’re trying to mix it up with 2A vs. 3A and stuff

like that,” Bertelsman said.

Bertelsman understood that some of the top-tier guys, like those headed for college wreslting, were weary at first, but said that as he and Lehr went through their list of possible participants, they got nearly all of their first-choice selections.

“It’s great to promote the sport even more,” Brunner said.

Brunner said he was enticed by the chance “Just to be on a different team with people I’ve wrestled alongside thoughtout high school. It’s kind of cool.”

Since the season and its strict conditioning are more than a month behind them, the wrestlers will be given a 10-pound weight allowance and Bertelsman said even that might be able to flex in the name of a good event.

“The way me and Justen see it is, it’s our first year doing this, there’s a lot of kinks that we’re working out as we go and next year we’re going to have it earlier, not wait until April,” Bertelsman said. “You’re over a month out of the season and some kids just forget about wrestling, especially seniors. Next year we’re going to have it in March, closer to the season.”

Should IHSA consider moving softball to fall?

Rain, sleet and snow have pounded the area during the early part of the spring sports season, forcing teams to continuously reschedule.

It made us wonder JO if, like the Sycamore softball Twitter account wrote, “Whenever you’re ready @IHSA_IL, we are ready to become a fall sport here in Illinois. #SpringInIllinoisProbz.”

Northwest Herald sports editor Jon Styf and sports writer Mike DeFabo discuss.

DeFabo: You know, I think they’re onto something here. Don’t they say the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result?

These softball teams keep trying to play games, but it’s just not working. I’m with Sycamore. Let’s move the season to the fall.

Styf: I remember back in 2008, freezing my butt off at Sycamore Park watching that same team play, hearing the same argument and disagreeing then, too. Fall is for volleyball, football and girls tennis.

Spring is for baseball and softball. If the argument was to move the start of the season back and play into the summer, I can hear that, but would this mean swapping girls tennis to the spring, too? Or are we just moving another sport to the fall?

DeFabo: I think you simply move softball to the fall and leave tennis where it is. There’s almost zero overlap with two-sport athletes who play tennis and softball, so it’s really a nonissue. But while we’re

TAKE

N STYF AND MIKE DeFA

FACE OFF

talking about tennis, that brings up a good point. Boys tennis and girls tennis are split between seasons. So there’s no reason softball and baseball couldn’t also be split similarly, with softball in the fall and baseball in the spring.

Styf: The reason tennis is opposite seasons is because many teams share court space and coaches.

The big problem I see is the end of the season. Remember the football playoffs and Prairie Ridge/CaryGrove playing in a snowstorm? Do you want the softball state finals to be decided in terrible weather or are we more concerned about bad weather in the beginning of the season?

I think the softball season should stay where it is. What is that huge benefit again?

DeFabo: Look at what we’ve got now. It’s the second week in April, and softball games are still getting snowed out. Not rained out. Snowed out.

The teams have been unable to do any real preseason prep because of the weather. The schedule is constantly being shifted. And the season gets shortened to about six weeks of playable softball, from mid-April to the end of May if you make it to the regional round.

If you move the season to the fall, teams can have outdoor preseason workouts in the summer. You start the season a few weeks before school starts, don’t have to worry BO about snow-outs and the season is over by the end of October.

Styf: Nobody will let you start the season a few weeks before school. Growing up in Michigan, the volleyball and girls basketball seasons were swapped with the rest of the country, and that caused big recruiting issues for athletes/coaches.

The same is true here. The late fall is when club softball teams go to showcases, running into October.

Prairie Ridge pitcher Hailey Baker got noticed at a September showcase

by Illinois and is now going there to pitch. Here’s guessing Illinois wouldn’t have seen her if she was pitching at Prairie Ridge instead in September. And at schools like Alden-Hebron, this would mean it would be tough to keep both a volleyball and softball program. All to finish the season in the cold. If you recall, it gets pretty ugly outside, even with your end of October timeline.

DeFabo: I don’t see why anybody wouldn’t let the season start before school. Football teams practice and lift weights and workout throughout the summer.

What’s the issue with playing softball games? It’s not dramatically different. If they consider changing the season, you have to put everything on the table and be open to making meaningful change.

When Wisconsin-Whitewater baseball coach John Vodenlich looks at his starting third baseman, he doesn’t see a player with minimal college or life experience.

Prairie Ridge graduate Cal Aldridge, Vodenlich said, is advanced beyond his 18 years.

“There’s a physical maturity and there’s a social/mental/emotional maturity,” Vodenlich said. “He has both. He looks like he’s 23. He plays like he’s 23. He interacts with coaches and adults like he’s 23.”

The 6-foot-1, 220-pound Aldridge has made the impact of a veteran this season on one of the nation’s top NCAA Division III teams.

Aldridge leads the Warhawks (110) with a .531 batting average, a .744 slugging percentage and a .568 on-base percentage. He has a pair of home runs and has driven in nine runs.

“I’m just trying to do whatever I can to help the team win,” Aldridge said. “We were all told that everyone’s going to get a chance and to just jump at your opportunities. I’ve been thankful and very grateful for what the coaching staff has let me do so far.”

Aldridge started the season in the seventh spot in the Whitewater lineup, but an injury to a teammate allowed the coaches to move him to the No. 3 spot.

Surprise meeting dream come true

Lukasiewicz, retiring Navy officer, meets with Baines; honored as Sox Hero of Day VIEWS Mike DeFabo Friday afternoon before the White Sox home opener, Chief Petty Officer Steven Lukasiewicz emerged from a tunnel at U.S. Cellular Field immaculately dressed in his U.S. Navy uniform. The 39-year old Sox diehard has missed just two home openers in his lifetime, when deployments in the U.S. Navy made it impossible to attend.

But what the Crystal Lake resident didn’t know was this home opener was going to be special from the rest.

Six-time all-star Harold Baines climbed the steps from the Sox dugout.

That’s when the tears started flowing, a few falling onto Lukasiewicz’s blue uniform jacket. Baines presented Lukasiewicz with a customized white jersey with black pinstripes and the No. 16 on the back and told Lukasiewicz that he was going to be honored during the third inning as the White Sox Hero of Day. Lukasiewicz thanked Baines over and over. But words couldn’t express Lukasiewicz’s gratitude. He spread his arms. The two embraced.

“When I saw Harold (Baines) come out of that dugout, I about lost it. He made it a point to be here for opening day to give me my jersey, which is insane,” Lukasiewicz said. “It’s just all a whirlwind to be here on the field during opening day.”

Sox cold, flat in home-opening loss

By MARK POTASH

mpotash@suntimes.com Adam Eaton wasn’t looking forward to this. “[I was] just madder than all getout,” Eaton said, referring to snow flurries in Chicago before the White Sox’ home opener against the Indians on Friday. “But at the same time, [it’s the] same elements they have to play in.

Intermittent flurries prevented the Sox and Indians from taking batting practice. Game-time temperature was 39 degrees.

“You can’t be worried about it,” Eaton said. “You’ve got to be mentally tough. I understand it’s going to be more difficult to grip the bat. It’s going to hurt when you swing, when you hit the ball – even when you barrel it, you still feel it. But it’s part of playing in Chicago. This is our weather and we

want to own it.”

That was a hearty sentiment, but it could be a while before there’s such a a thing as “Sox Weather.” While the skies eventually cleared and the temperature reached 43 degrees, the Sox and starter John Danks played like they’d rather be somewhere warmer, losing, 7-1, before at U.S. Cellular Field. The Sox announced a sell-out crowd of 38,019, but actual attendance was probably around 28,000 to 30,000.

After taking three of four games in impressive fashion against the Oakland A’s in Oakland to start the season, the Sox (3-2) looked like the same team that lost 86 games in 2015 – and 99 in 2014 for that matter – in their home debut.

Danks allowed five runs (three earned) in the first two innings to put the Sox in an early 5-0 hold and seven runs (five earned) in five innings overall. Alex Avila committed a costly error

that allowed two runs to score in the first inning.

Avisail Garcia was picked off first base in the third inning – and it wasn’t even close. And the Sox had just two hits in five innings off Indians starter Danny Salazar and three for the game.

By the time Salazar left the game, the Sox trailed 7-1.

Danks was trying to build off a promising second half of 2015 – when he allowed three runs or fewer in 11 of his 15 starts, two runs or fewer in eight starts.

Todd Frazier, who went 2-for-3, hit a home run off Salazar to left field in the fourth inning to make it 5-1. It was Frazier’s second home run of the season. The Indians responded with two runs in the fifth, as Danks allowed four consecutive hits – including RBI hits by Santana and Gomes – after getting the first two batters out.

With Schwarber’s season finished, fun leaves ballpark

The Cubs knew there were going to be obstacles this season, especially after the way they breezed through 2015 with nary a scratch. They weren’t thinking that the obstacle would arrive three games into the season or that it would look a bit like a climbing wall without footholds.

Kyle Schwarber’s blown-out left knee isn’t the end of the world for the Cubs, but it hurts them competitively and psychically. It’s the first real pall over a celebration that has been going on for the better part of a year.

The Cubs’ lineup is still stacked, but will it be as ridiculously fun? No. Schwarber brought the possibility of a Ruthian home run with him every time he stepped to the plate. He brought entertainment both to the fans and to his teammates. Everybody saw the same thing: a squat, sawed-off kid who seemed oblivious to the pressure of the spotlight. No, it was more than that. He was made for the spotlight, his five postseason home runs serving as proof.

This isn’t an elegy for him or for a season, but – and overstatement is impossible here – this sucks. A 23-yearold guy with a torn anterior cruciate ligament and a torn lateral cruciate

VIEWS Rick Morrissey ligament robbed of his first full season in the big leagues. Jeez.

Schwarber was injured Thursday trying to make a hustle play on a long ball hit by the Diamondbacks’ Jean Segura. Playing left field, he collided with center fielder Dexter Fowler.

Schwarber’s left knee took the brunt of the impact, and he was carted off the field. The initial announcement said it was an ankle injury; any longtime sports observer knew it was a knee injury. The grim results were delivered Friday after Schwarber had undergone a magnetic resonance imaging test: two torn ligaments and a season ended almost before it began.

You can’t fault Schwarber’s effort on the play, but you can question his judgment. He should have let Fowler, a talented, veteran center fielder, try to make the play on the ball.

But that’s beside the point now. It happened, and he’ll have plenty of time to dwell on it and learn from it. The good news comes in list form: Fowler,

Jason Heyward, Anthony Rizzo, Kris Bryant, Ben Zobrist and Addison Russell. For Cubs fans worried about Schwarber’s loss, that’s like a group hug.

It will give Jorge Soler the chance to prove that he should be more than someone for whom manager Joe Maddon struggles to find at-bats.

Lots of people figured that one of the three young Cubs – Schwarber, Bryant or Russell – would go through a sophomore slump this season. I thought it might be Schwarber, giving his mighty swings, but I also thought he might be the best equipped to handle it emotionally. There’s something carefree about him that goes well with that free swing.

The Cubs still can win the World Series. They have too much hitting depth on the roster. If this had been defending N.L. Cy Young winner Jake Arrieta, they could have said goodbye to their big postseason plans. They can find ways to replace Schwarber’s bat.

But his entertainment value? That’s another story.

The Cubs’ Kyle Schwarber (second from left) is attended to by training staff as manager Joe Maddon (second from right) and Ben Zobrist look on during the second inning Thursday against the Arizona Diamondbacks in Phoenix. Schwarber is out for the season after tearing two knee ligaments in an outfield collision.

PHOENIX – Yasmany Tomas singled home Chris Owings with two outs in the ninth inning and the Arizona Diamondbacks rallied to give the Cubs their first loss of the season, 3-2, Friday night.

Welington Castillo singled off ex-Diamondbacks starter Trevor Cahill (0-1) and Owings, the pinch runner, took second on a groundout. Tomas singled to left and Owings raced home well ahead of the throw.

Jean Segura had three hits, including two doubles, to become the first Diamondbacks player to open a season with five multihit games. Paul Goldschmidt singled Segura home twice, the second time off Pedro Strop to tie it at 2 with two outs in the eighth.

Brad Ziegler (1-0) pitched a perfect ninth for the victory.

The Cubs scored all two runs in the third inning. Jason Heyward walked with the bases loaded, scoring David Ross. Ben Zobrist then grounded into a fielder’s choice to second, scoring Jason Hammel.

Dexter Fowler was the lone Cub to have a multi-hit game, going 2 for 3 with a walk. His batting average improves to .600.

Hammel pitched six innings, allowing four hits and one earned run while striking out six and walking one.

Five players Bears should target at No. 11

By ADAM L. JAHNS

ajahns@@suntimes.com From pro days around the country to private workouts to visits at Halas Hall, the Bears’ pre-draft process is in full swing.

It’s almost time for general manager Ryan Pace, coach John Fox and their staffs to finalize their options for the 11th overall selection.

Here’s five players that make sense at No. 11.

DL DeForest Buckner, Oregon: Buckner, a 6-foot-7, 291-pound freakish athlete, is widely considered a top-five pick. But the draft is unpredictable. USC defensive tackle Leonard Williams nearly fell to the Bears last year before the Jets grabbed him a selection earlier.

It would take more for Buckner to fall to the Bears, but if the top-three quarterbacks, Cal’s Jared Goff, North Dakota State’s Carson Wentz and Memphis’ Paxton Lynch, are selected in the top 10, it could happen.

The Bears can wait to select a defensive lineman because it’s a strong, deep class. But if Buckner falls to No. 11, selecting him simply makes too much sense. Buckner, an All-American at Oregon and the 2015 Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Year, is a rare talent, especially at his size.

LT Ronnie Stanley, Notre Dame: Pace called left tackle Charles Leno Jr. “a pleasant surprise” after he started 13 games last season when Jermon Bushrod was injured.

But it’s a surprise that shouldn’t prevent the Bears from taking Stanley, an All-American and three-year starter for the Fighting Irish. Stanley is All-Pro material.

Similar to Buckner, the Bears would be fortunate if Stanley is there at No. 11, though the odds of him being available are better.

Stanley and Ole Miss’ Laremy Tunsil are the two best offensive linemen in this year’s draft.

An offensive line that features Stanley, right guard Kyle Long and right tackle Bobby Massie would quickly become one of the league’s best units. Pro Football Focus’ draft analysis rated Stanley as the best pass protector in the draft.

RB Ezekiel Elliott, Ohio State: The Bears’ failed pursuit of running back C.J. Anderson in free agency was the best indication that running back remains an important need to

Who goes to the Bears at No. 11 in PFW’s Mock Drafts?

Over at Pro Football Weekly, we did our second set of 2016 NFL Mock Drafts. Here is a rundown of who the Bears got at No. 11 in each mock draft, with the analysis from the writer.

Kevin Fishbain: Georgia OLB Leonard Floyd – “Pace and Fox want speed. Floyd gives them

them. And the Bears won’t be scared to take Elliott if he’s the best player on their board at No. 11.

Elliott told the NFL Network he has a visit scheduled with the Bears. He also hasn’t hid his interest in wanting to play for them. He’s close with Bears running backs coach Stan Drayton, who coached him at Ohio State.

Jeremy Langford’s success last season was further proof that good running backs can be found late in the draft. Anderson also was an undrafted free-agent in 2013.

But Elliott’s talents warrant serious consideration early in the first round. Most draft analysts, including former scouts Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks of NFL Network, consider Elliott a top-10 talent.

Elliott, the 2015 Big Ten Offensive Player of the Year, has been compared to Edgerrin James and Le’Veon Bell. He significantly would improve the “wave” of backs that Fox wants.

CB Vernon Hargreaves, Florida: The Bears have Kyle Fuller and Tracy Porter, but questions remain about Fuller’s future, and Porter turns 30 in August.

After Florida State’s Jalen Ramsey, there isn’t a better cornerback than Hargreaves, a three-time first-team All-SEC selection.

At 5-10, Hargreaves doesn’t have ideal size, but scouts like his overall athleticism. He’s quick and agile and plays aggressively.

The Bears need better production from their secondary, and that’s where Hargreaves stood out in college. He consistently made plays on the ball, making 10 interceptions and breaking up 28 passes.

DL Jarran Reed, Alabama: Reed is often overlooked in favor of Alabama line mate A’Shawn Robinson, whom many have pegged in mock drafts for the Bears at No. 11.

But Reed (6-3, 307 pounds) might have a higher ceiling, especially if he improves as a pass rusher. Some draft analysts recently have adjusted their overall rankings that have Reed rated better than Robinson.

Again, the Bears can look at defensive linemen later in the draft. It’s a deep group. But Reed, who stood out at the Senior Bowl, fits the Bears’ profile for a 3-4 defensive end. Pro Football Focus has Reed as the best two-gap lineman against the run in this year’s draft.

that off the edge.”

Nate Atkins: Alabama DT A’Shawn Robinson – “The Bears complete their D-Line with a high-upside run-stuffer.”

Arthur Arkush: Alabama DT A’Shawn Robinson – “Would’ve loved Hargreaves but nextbest-player also fills glaring need.”

J.C. Talon: Memphis QB Paxton Lynch – “Bears not ready to contend yet, Lynch can mature as Jay’s backup.”

Chasing history How the 2015-16 Golden State Warriors compare to the 1995-96 Bulls, who set the NBA single-season record with 72 wins.

Warriors’ stars embrace chance at record 73 wins

By JOSH DUBOW

The Associated Press OAKLAND, Calif. – Coach Steve Kerr might be apprehensive, believing his Golden State Warriors might need a mental and physical break before the playoffs start more than chasing the record for most wins in a season.

His young stars have no such doubts.

With a once-in-a-lifetime chance to set a record with 73 wins by sweeping the final three games, they want to seize the opportunity.

“Everything is gravy at this point with coach Kerr,” forward Draymond Green said. “All he wanted was the number one seed. For a lot of guys in the locker room, it’s not gravy. We put ourselves in a position all year. ... To get this far and kind of just tank it and say never mind? Face it, we’ll probably never get to this point again. That’s why it’s only been done one time. I think most guys in the locker room are all in.”

The Warriors (70-9) joined the 1995-96 Bulls as the only teams in NBA history to win 70 games in a season by beating San Antonio, 112-101, on Thursday night to secure home-court advantage throughout the playoffs.

To break the mark of 72 that Michael Jordan and the Bulls set 20 years ago, the Warriors must sweep a weekend road trip to Memphis and San Antonio and then beat the Grizzlies again in the season finale next Wednesday night at home.

“With three games left and 73 still

there, it’s obviously a lot to play for,” star Stephen Curry said.

The game against the Spurs figures to be the toughest. The Warriors have lost 33 straight regular-season games at San Antonio, last winning Feb. 14, 1997, when Tim Duncan was still in college.

They did win one of three games there in the playoffs in 2013, but lost in their only trip to San Antonio earlier this season.

Golden State will need to win there again to have a chance at setting the record.

Kerr asked his players a few weeks ago if 73 wins was important to them.

When most said yes, he made a pact with young stars like Curry, Green, Klay Thompson and Harrison Barnes that he would not force them to sit as long as they were honest about their health.

Kerr said he would discuss the choice again with his coaches and players Friday on the plane ride to Memphis. He has given time off recently to veterans like center Andrew Bogut and guard Shaun Livingston. Other players like sixth man Andre Iguodala and backup center Festus Ezeli have gotten time off because of injuries.

But no one on the young core has gotten a game off since Curry missed a game with a sprained ankle on March 1.

“I’m not sure they actually need a rest physically. But maybe a break mentally will do them some good,” Kerr said. “On the other hand, I’m pretty sure we’re not going to be in this position again next year. You can’t keep winning at this level. It’s a very unique situation.”

MIAMI – Gar Forman has insisted that re-signing Pau Gasol will be a top priority this offseason.

The Bulls general manager just might be finding out that the feeling isn’t exactly mutual.

When the Bulls were close to trading Gasol at the February deadline, the veteran wanted to stay put, but also reiterated he would opt out of his player option and test the free agent market.

Gasol also insisted that how the Bulls would finish the re- Pau Gasol mainder of this season would go into his decision, as the twotime NBA champion wanted to see some fight, some will.

He has seen neither.

And while he said Fred Hoiberg his decision is not yet made, what has transpired the last few months will be heavily considered.

“Nothing is set right now,” Gasol said. “Definitely I will evaluate what I need to when the time comes.

The way the team has responded to adversity and the way we finished up the season has not been so far great. It’s been disappointing. At the end of the day, when the time comes I will evaluate things. It’s hard to finish a season like this … so everything will be thought of and considered.”

Gasol wasn’t exactly calling it his last week in a Bulls uniform, either.

“No, not really,” Gasol said of the idea that he will be done wearing the red and white soon. “I’m at a point in my career where I’ve played a lot of basketball, and try and give it my best every single night. I think overall I’m doing pretty good. But I’m not thinking it could be my last game. From that standpoint I’m not thinking too far ahead.”

While Forman and the front office might want the 7-footer, they had better talk to their first-year coach. According to a source, Fred Hoiberg has been less than pleased with Gasol’s effort at times, especially on the defensive end of the court.

Hoiberg wasn’t going to get into that after the loss to Miami, but admitted for the second time in a week that he was actually strongly considering going with rookie Cristiano Felicio in crunch time over Gasol.

He almost did it in Houston last week, and then when Gasol couldn’t keep Heat big man Hassan Whiteside off the glass Thursday night, he again came close to making that move.

Asked why he didn’t, Hoiberg said he had to give the benefit of the doubt to the “two-time NBA champion.”

Besides the lack of fight shown by this team, another factor Gasol will take into consideration will be Hoiberg.

Gasol initially had his reservations about playing for Tom Thibodeau when he came aboard last season, but quickly grew to respect the work ethic of the former Bulls coach, especially on the defensive end.

Sources have indicated that hasn’t been the case with Hoiberg, and Gasol did nothing to dispel that when asked about the team’s poor defense most of the season.

“We haven’t given it enough importance on a daily basis,” Gasol said. “We haven’t been able to put enough games where we play together and with intensity and the effort required on the defensive end.

In this league you’re going to have better or worse nights offensively, but defense is going to give you a chance each and every night, and we relied too much on our offense.

“We just haven’t had the defensive mindset, nor emphasis on it, so we paid the price a lot of times.

We’ve been too casual a lot of times.

And that’s why we are where we are.”

Johnson adjusts to linebacker switch

By JESSE SEVERSON

jseverson@shawmedia.com DeKALB – Redshirt sophomore Juwaun Johnson admitted with a laugh that he had to get by on pure athleticism when he made the move from safety to linebacker last season.

Now with 13 games under his belt as an outside linebacker for the Huskies, Johnson said he’s more prepared for what to expect – and has even come to enjoy the position.

“Last year, I just got by on athleticism, I wasn’t sure exactly what I should do,” Johnson said. “I was just playing off what I felt. I feel like I’m doing better this year, knowing my plays. I got more (playing time) than I thought I’d get, to be honest, because I had just moved to linebacker. I didn’t think I’d play at all.”

Last season, Johnson recorded 31 tackles – 2.5 for a loss – a sack and an interception in 13 games. He had a season-high five tackles against two of the better teams the Huskies played against in Ohio State and Toledo.

One of Johnson’s biggest assets as a linebacker comes from his time at safety – his speed. During team drills at practice Friday, he sniffed out a sweep to receiver Chad Beebe, bringing him down in the backfield. Later, during 2-minute drill, Johnson intercepted Anthony Maddie on pass up the middle

NIU head coach Rod Carey gives linebacker Juwaun Johnson a slap on the helmet during practice Aug. 11 at Huskie Stadium in DeKalb. Johnson converted to outside linebacker last season. on a fourth-and-long.

“The way college football is today, there’s not a lot of big people out in the field these days, as far formation and personnel groups,” Northern Illinois defensive coordinator and linebacker

coach Kevin Kane said. “Everybody tries to spread people out and that fits his type of game. If we get in situations where we’ll see big personnel groups, JJ might not be the right person in there. That’s my job – getting the right

person on the field.”

Johnson was still a safety when Kane left for the University of Kansas. Johnson spent his redshirt season (2014) as a safety before making the switch to outside linebacker in 2015.

“I didn’t want to but the coaches told me that I had a big opportunity if I moved to linebacker,” Johnson said.

“So I felt, ‘OK, if they’re telling me this, they know. They’re the coach.’ I didn’t like it at first, but I love it now.”

Johnson isn’t the only linebacker with an opportunity this year, either.

The leading tackler for Northern Illinois, linebacker Boomer Mays, has graduated – leaving a big hole in the middle of the Huskies defense. Senior Jamaal Payton has worked with the No. 1 defense as the middle backer and Kane has cryptically said that it is likely his position to lose – “Jamaal has set himself up in a good position, nothing is guaranteed until the first week of the season.”

Both Carey and Kane have also praised the ability of redshirt freshman inside linebacker Kyle Pugh, a 5-foot-11, 220-pounder who was a standout for Chicago Heights Bloom Township before coming to NIU. On Friday, with Payton and senior outside linebacker Sean Folliard sitting out the team drills to give the younger players more reps, Pugh was with the first-string at the middle backer spot.

SEC beats Harbaugh as satellite camps banned

By RALPH D. RUSSO The Associated Press

Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh’s next satellite camping trip through the South has been canceled.

The NCAA shut down so-called satellite football camps Friday after the Big Ten turned out to be the only Power Five conference in favor of them.

The Division I Council approved a proposal from the Southeastern Conference and the Atlantic Coast Conference requiring Bowl Subdivision schools “to conduct camps and clinics at their school’s facilities or at facilities regularly used for practice or competition,” the NCAA said. “Additionally, FBS coaches and non-coaching staff members with responsibilities specific to football may AP file photo be employed only at their school’s camps Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh (center right) watches defensive coordinator Don Brown or clinics.”

The change was effective immediate(left) work with Cheyenn Robertson during a Feb. 29 practice in Bradenton, Fla. The NCAA announced Friday it was barring football coaches from holding camps or clinics on other ly. Harbaugh, whose sweeping tour of the South last year heightened the decampuses.

bate about satellite camps, already had stops lined up this year in Florida and Alabama.

Division I Council chairman Jim Phillips, the athletic director at Northwestern, said the Big 12 and the Pac-12 also voted for the ACC and SEC proposal.

From the Group of Five conferences, the Mid-American Conference, Conference USA and the American Athletic Conference voted with the Big Ten. Power Five votes count for two, so the final tally was 10-5 in favor of banning satellite camps.

The Big Ten also supported keeping the satellite camp issue as part of a comprehensive look at football that the sports’ NCAA oversight committee plans to undertake this year. Last year the Big Ten wanted to bring several proposals before the council, including an early signing period, initial eligibility, roster and coaching staff sizes and in-season practice time, but the 10 FBS conferences agreed instead to a broadbased review.

After Stripling pulled with no-hitter, Giants’ Brown homers

SAN FRANCISCO – Right after Ross Stripling of the Los Angeles Dodgers was pulled following 7 1/3 hitless innings in his major league debut, Trevor Brown homered off Chris Hatcher for the San Francisco Giants on a rainy Friday night.

Manager Dave Roberts removed Stripling after 100 pitches and replaced him with Hatcher. The homer tied the game at 2 and Stripling was charged with one run. He finished with four walks and four strikeouts.

draft pick who skipped Triple-A altogether, capitalized on a trio of defensive gems.

Yasiel Puig made a diving catch in right to rob Matt Duffy in the second and Stripling then ran down Brandon Crawford’s bunt toward third and fired a one-hopper to first baseman Adrian Gonzalez for a slick play.

Center fielder Joc Pederson sprinted hard to his left to make a diving, backhanded catch on Denard Span’s fly to start the fourth. Stripling gave up two walks that inning but was unscathed.

16 THE MASTERS

Spieth hangs on to lead, but just barely

By DOUG FERGUSON The Associated Press

AUGUSTA, Ga. – Jordan Spieth set a Masters record Friday by leading the tournament for the sixth straight round.

He sure didn’t seem to be in a mood to celebrate.

Spieth led by as many as five shots after a fast start, and then, just like everyone else on this wickedly windy day, he had to hang on for dear life. Spieth holed a 15-foot par putt on the 18th hole for a 2-over-par 74 that gave him a oneshot lead over Rory McIlroy.

“I’m still in the lead. I couldn’t ask for much better than leading,” Spieth said. “I’m a bit disappointed right now, fresh off the round. Two over on the last three holes will leave you that way.”

McIlroy, who needs a green jacket to complete the Grand Slam, played the final six holes in 3 under for a 71 to match the low round of the day. Conditions were so brutal that it was the first time since the third round in 2007 that no one broke 70.

“I know I’m in a good position going into the weekend,” McIlroy said. “And I’m happy with that.”

The prospects of Spieth and McIlroy in the final group at any major, much less the Masters, is tantalizing. Both of them realize that this is far from the duel. With more wind expected on Saturday, it feels more like everyone against Augusta National. And right now, the odds are with the golf course.

The way Spieth came back to the field, the Masters is wide open.

He was at 4-under 140, the highest 36hole lead since that frigid, windy Masters in 2007.

Danny Lee bogeyed his last two holes for a 72 and was two shots behind, along with Scott Piercy (72). The only other players who remained under par were Hideki Matsuyama (72), Brandt Snedeker (72) and Soren Kjeldsen (74).

Dustin Johnson birdied all the par 5s for a 71 and was in the group at even par that included U.S. Amateur champion Bryson DeChambeau, who felt the sting of Augusta on the final hole. DeChambeau was playing the best round of the day at 3 under and just one shot out of the lead. But he hooked his tee shot into the trees and had to return to the tee, hooked the next one and made triple bogey for a 72.

Still in the mix was Jason Day, who sputtered along to a 73 but was only five shots behind.

“It almost feels like a U.S. Open

Masters at a glance

AUGUSTA, Ga. – A brief look at the second round of the Masters on Friday: LEADING Jordan Spieth at 4-under 140.

CHASING Rory McIlory, whose 71 was one of the few sub-par rounds, was a stroke back.

SHOT(S) OF THE DAY Bryson DeChambeau hit his first tee shot at No. 18 out of bounds, and banged his second so far left, he took an unplayable lie. The amateur made a triple bogey for a 72, leaving him four strokes behind playing partner Spieth.

STAT OF THE DAY Angel Cabrera, who won in 2009 and lost in a playoff in 2013, is at 2-over heading into the weekend. On consecutive days at the par-5 15th, he made a quadruple-bogey 9 and a double-bogey 7.

Had the Argentine made pars both days, the six saved strokes would have left him tied with Spieth.

NOTEWORTHY Stretching back to his wire-to-wire win in 2015, Spieth has led for six consecutive rounds, a Masters record.

QUOTEWORTHY “The guys that played well got rewarded and the guys who did dumb stuff like I did shot a big number.” – Phil Mickelson, whose 79 put him on the wrong side of the cut line.

TEE TIMES Bernhard Langer and Jason Day, 1:30 p.m.; Sergio Garcia and Danny Willett, 2:10 p.m.; Rory McIlroy and Jordan Spieth, 2:50 p.m.

TV Saturday, 2 to 6 p.m., CBS. – Wire report where you need to survive,” Day said.

“And I’m trying my best to survive right now.”

Spieth finished a round over par at Augusta for the first time in his three Masters appearances. Coming off his wire-to-wire victory last year, that par save from the bunker on the 18th allowed him to set a record for most consecutive rounds in the lead.
