Good morning, McHenry County ...

Franks, McSweeney bills move forward The state of Illinois is in dire financial straits.

If you live here and don’t know that, you’re either younger than age 8 or it’s time to stop smoking the, well, you know ...

Two McHenry County lawmakers had success last week in moving forward bills that seek to cut government costs and help the state’s long-term fiscal future. State Rep. Jack Franks’ legislation that seeks to end the practice of retired public safety workers double dipping by collecting taxpayer-funded pensions while also working in another taxpayer-funded job passed the Illinois House. It now moves to the Senate.

“Retirement should mean retirement. For too long, taxpayer dollars have been wasted on a few individuals who gamed the system for their own personal benefit,” said Franks, D-Marengo.

“Moving forward, this legislation will put a stop to the practice of public safety employees who ‘double dip’ at the expense of taxpayers.”

And Rep. David McSweeney had his bill

seeking to eliminate the office of lieutenant governor approved by the Illinois House State Government Administration Committee. It now moves to the full House for a vote.

“The bottom line is that eliminating the office of lieutenant governor would save taxpayers about $1.6 million each year,” McSweeney said.

“Obviously, we still have a long way to go to get Illinois’ finances back on track, but we have to start somewhere.”

These bills are two good places to start.

The airline said the plane landed safely Sunday afternoon and has been cleared for its next flight.

The Airbus A320 was carrying 132 passengers and five crew members.

No arrests have been made and police are investigating the incident.

Aviation authorities have expressed concern about the risk posed by the increasing number of drones.

EXPERTS: BETTER CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTORS NEEDED No level of CO exposure is considered safe, HVAC expert says

By KEVIN P. CRAVER

kcraver@shawmedia.com Having home smoke detectors that also sniff for deadly carbon monoxide can give homeowners an added sense of security.

But local and national experts warn it’s a false one, no different from mistakenly relying on outdoor warning sirens to get advance notice of a tornado.

Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless gas that kills more than 400 Americans each year and sends 20,000 nationwide to emergency rooms from unintended poisoning related to fires, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It starts

“Standard detectors protect nobody but healthy adults, and even that is questionable.”

Jim Davis

National Comfort Institute trainer becoming a deadly hazard at about 70 parts per million.

A standard home carbon monoxide detector won’t let you know about it until hours later, said Jim Richter, residential field supervisor for Althoff Industries in Crystal Lake.

“The standard CO detectors that you buy in a big-box store don’t give an audible alarm until the house is at 70 parts per million for more than 3½

hours in a row. That’s how a normal detector works,” Richter said.

The problem is no level of carbon monoxide is considered safe, said Jim Davis, a nationally recognized trainer with the National Comfort Institute, an Ohio-based heating, ventilation and air conditioning firm. Prolonged exposure to levels as low as 10 parts per million can be harmful to people with heart conditions and has been

linked to other health problems.

“Standard detectors protect nobody but healthy adults, and even that is questionable,” Davis said.

What’s more, the carbon monoxide sensing equipment in detectors is sensitive to humidity, meaning they become far less effective after three to five years, Richter said.

But there are products out there that can augment a family’s early warning, just like an all-hazards radio warns people indoors of approaching severe weather.

DIANE EVERTSEN

n WHO IS SHE? McHenry County Board member who is stepping down after two terms n HOMETOWN: Harvard n FAMILY: Husband, Evert; six children, seven grandchildren n FAVORITE AUTHOR: Brad Thor n FAVORITE MOVIE: “Shrek”

HARVARD – Anyone who has ever met Diane Evertsen knows you never have to guess how she feels about something or what is on her mind.

She quickly gained a reputation on the McHenry County Board after her 2010 election as a person who calls it like she sees it, and who wears her fiscal conservatism on her sleeve. If she thinks a proposal is a great idea, or she thinks it’s 10 pounds of manure

crammed into a 5-pound bag, she says so before she casts her vote.

When Evertsen was asked in 2009 to run to represent District 6, which covers the county’s rural and agrarian western half, she told supporters that she intended to serve only two terms.

Two terms later, she is honoring that pledge and calling it quits.

But that pledge wasn’t so much to her constituents as it was to herself. After six years on the board, and 11 years on the Harvard Community Unit School District 50 Board, the retired Realtor is ready to move on. She intends to stay in politics as the secretary of the McHenry County Republican Party.

Senior reporter Kevin Craver, who hopes that some other County Board member come December will fill her shoes when it comes to pithy quotes that spice up government stories, talked to Evertsen about politics and her plans.

Craver: What prompted your decision not to run?

Evertsen: When people first asked me

six years ago to run, I decided this was not going to be an open-ended commitment. I had already done all those years on the school board, and I had done the

Mom commitment – piano lessons, wrestling meets, practices, dance lessons, all that stuff. I decided from my personal perspective that term limits are not always a bad thing, and so I promised two terms maximum, and everyone was all right with that.

So this is my second term, and I stand by what I promised. I want to move on to other things I want to do.

We all have a life outside of politics, whatever it happens to be, so I want to spend time with my family and do things I enjoy.

Craver: But you’ll still be involved in the county Republican Party?

Evertsen: Right. When the new execu-

tive team took over, we had fewer than 50 percent of our precincts filled with committeemen. At this point, we have 76 percent of our precincts full, which is a huge improvement. It’s my firm belief that when you are involved in local races, it’s important to have money, but it’s more important to have troops on the ground, and that’s where committeemen come in.

I want to be part of the team that

CARY

By CAITLIN SWIECA

cswieca@shawmedia.com

Diane McNulty

Cary Area Public Library director The library will use $1.4 million in the savings it had for capital projects such as this and borrow the rest of the cost, estimated at $1.2 million.

McNulty said the library will be able to take out that loan without affecting library services. Staff also will apply for a grant toward the project, and Friends of the Cary Area Library will contribute

some funding.

Library officials felt the time to upgrade was right because of other work the building needed. The library will be putting on a new shingled roof – the current one has been leaking in different places for about a year, McNulty said – and replacing the HVAC unit, which is close to the end of its life.

“We figured if we’re doing the one thing we might as well do the other,” McNulty said. “There’s an economy in doing it all at once.”

The renovation will add one small space to the east side of the building for a new drive-up return and pick-up window.

The rest of the changes will come within the space the library already has.

For example, McNulty said the library’s current story room was only being used about 5 percent of the time, so that room and another office will be converted into meeting space.

The library also will add an elevator and move staff operations to the basement so the current staff space can be given back to the public.

Other additions will include another self-checkout machine, new automated return system, new layout of shelving, and a multipurpose room that will be used as a learning lab, maker space, gallery and more.

McNulty said a bid likely will be awarded around Memorial Day, and construction should start by mid-July and last until November.

Village Board to hold first meeting since president’s arrest

By HANNAH PROKOP

hprokop@shawmedia.com HEBRON – Monday the Hebron Village Board will hold its first meeting since Village President John Jacobson’s arrest.

Jacobson was arrested at his home March 22 on drug and firearms charges after police found cocaine, drug paraphernalia and a shotgun and am- John munition at his home Jacobson after a March 17 incident. After the arrest, community

members and trustees have called for Jacobson’s resignation.

Friday afternoon, Jacobson said he had no comment on whether he would be leading the meeting Monday. The meeting agenda posted on the village’s website includes a typical list of items to be considered.

An item not listed on the agenda, however, is Trustee Drew Georgi’s plans to present two petitions he’s been collecting signatures for – one calling for Jacobson’s resignation, the other calling for a village audit.

Georgi and several other residents have been canvassing the village to get signatures for the past few weeks.

They have at least 150 on each petition so far, Georgi said Thursday, and he hopes to double that number by the meeting.

Even if the petition calling for Jacobson’s resignation does gain more signatures, Ken Menzel, general counsel with the Illinois State Board of Elections, said it’s not legally binding.

“If pressure continues, it’s possible that the officer ... will go ahead and resign,” Menzel said. “But there isn’t a way to force someone out of office who doesn’t want to leave.”

If Jacobson is convicted of a felony or moves out of Hebron, however,

If you go WHAT: Hebron Village Board meeting WHEN: 7 p.m. Monday WHERE: Hebron Village Hall, 12007 Prairie Ave., Hebron

he would no longer be qualified to hold office, Menzel said.

The petition for the audit would be the same case, Menzel said. It wouldn’t have to be done just because a certain number of people asked for it, he said.

Hebron-Alden-Greenwood Fire Protection District appoints new chief

By HANNAH PROKOP

hprokop@shawmedia.com HEBRON – The Hebron-Alden-Greenwood Fire Protection District will have a new chief May 1.

Thomas Linneman was appointed by the district’s board of trustees last week and will be moving up from his current role as assistant chief to over- Thomas see the 30 firefighters, Linneman emergency medical

technicians and paramedics in the department.

The 33-year-old is a lifelong Hebron resident and started with the department as an explorer, he said. In 2000, he became an EMT and worked his way up the ranks.

The dedicated people at the volunteer fire district and community support are what has kept him with the district for so long, he said.

“For the small budget that we have, we provide very good service to our members and our community,” Linneman said.

Eventually, Linneman said he

hopes to bring back the district’s explorer post to develop young firefighters. He said the program dissolved the past few years because of a lack of interest.

Linneman also works for the Crystal Lake Fire Rescue Department as a firefighter/paramedic.

Chief Scott Mullis said he is resigning from his position to spend more time with his family and explore working more in the private sector.

He’s been the chief for almost five years, and also works as a full-time firefighter at the Hoffman Estates Fire Department.

Mullis said Linneman was the natural choice for the chief position, and he’s a good decision-maker who is well-respected by the community and department.

“You can’t find a more dedicated bunch,” Mullis said of the Hebron-Alden-Greenwood Fire Protection District volunteers. “They come out and really do put their lives on the line, and they sacrifice their personal lives so they can basically take care of their town.”

Linneman said it hasn’t been determined who will fill the assistant chief position.

CARY – A proposed $2.6 million renovation of the Cary Area Public Library moves forward as the plans go out for construction bids this month, library Director Diane McNulty said.

The project, designed by Rosemont’s Engberg Anderson Architects, would upgrade the building’s facilities and reconfigure its available space to better suit patrons.

“We’re trying to maximize the public space and add more meeting and study space,” McNulty said. “We actually did a strategic plan a couple years ago, and people wanted quiet study space and more programming in certain areas.”

District 47 fourth-grader is finalist in national art contest

By ALLISON GOODRICH

agoodrich@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – A fourth-grader at Coventry Elementary School this year painted a picture of a birch tree using oil pastel and tempera paint, and by year’s end it will become part of the U.S. Department of Education’s permanent collection of children’s artwork.

Crystal Lake Elementary School District 47 recently announced that fourth-grader Cheyenne Griffin was selected as a finalist in the 2015-16 Crayola “Creativity Connects the World” pre-kindergarten through 12th grade art contest, which is sponsored by Crayola Foundation for Art and Preservation in Embassies.

More than 1,500 contest entries were received from 17 states this year, according to a district news release, and 50 finalists were chosen. In the category for second, third and fourth grade, Cheyenne’s work then was selected as one of only two pieces of art from Illinois and one of 10 nationwide, District 47 Coordinator of Communications Denise Barr said.

As a finalist, Cheyenne’s painting will be professionally framed and displayed this month in the U.S. State Department for the Foundation of Art and Preservation in Embassies’ 30th anniversary. It ultimately will be donated to the U.S. Department of Education’s permanent collection of children’s original art.

“It’s such an honor to have my artwork selected,” Cheyenne said in the release. “It’s made my mom and me so happy and proud, because she knows how much I really love art.”

According to the Crayola site, the theme for this year’s contest was “how creativity connects the world,” putting

Democrats tap candidate for 32nd Senate District

Democrats picked a challenger Sunday to face Republican incumbent Pamela Althoff for the 32nd Senate District.

The nominee is Melissa Coyne of Fox Lake, according to Michael Bissett, Democratic Party of McHenry County chairman.

Bissett said he and Lake County Democratic Party chairman and state Sen. Terry Link chose Coyne at a caucus in Volo.

State law requires the county party chairmen of both counties nominate a candidate to fill a vacancy for this office, Bissett said.

The 32nd District covers all of McHenry County except for Grafton and Algonquin townships, and covers the northwestern part of Lake County, including the Chain O’ Lakes.

Coyne will have to collect a minimum of 1,000 valid signatures from voters within the district for her name to be placed on the ballot Nov. 8, Bissett said.

The Democratic Party of McHenry County chose candidates for two McHenry County Board districts, McHenry County recorder and McHenry County state’s attorney at a caucus Saturday in Crystal Lake.

Horses from ASPCA’s 600-animal rescue recovering

By KATIE DAHLSTROM

kdahlstrom@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – Six horses are recovering at the Hooved Animal Humane Society after being rescued from an unlicensed animal rescue in North Carolina as part of what officials said was among the largest animal seizures in the history of the American Society

for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.

Two mares, a filly, a 2-week-old colt, a yearling and a gelding arrived at the Woodstock-based rescue in early April, according to a new release.

They were among more than 300 dogs, 250 cats and 40 horses that were discovered in January at a property known as The Haven, a Raeford facil-

to recommend the home or business have a low-level carbon monoxide detector, said Rick Sperando, who owns the McHenry-based business.

Such detectors, which can either be hard-wired into homes or battery-powered, have digital readouts and can start giving audible alarms as low as a handful of parts per million, with alarms increasing in frequency as carbon monoxide levels rise. A number of them also give off an alarm as they approach the end of their operational life.

“We’re very, very concerned about customer safety, whether people use us or someone else. It’s an easy recommendation to prevent someone from dying from carbon monoxide poisoning. For us, it’s just a standard thing, and we always recommend it,” Sperando said.

Richter said people should put such detectors in places in the house where they spend the most time, and away from open combustion such as fireplaces and kitchen appliances. They should be placed as high as possible, given that carbon monoxide is lighter than air at room temperature.

“Sometimes that ounce of prevention saves lives,” Sperando said.

open wounds, severe upper respiratory disease and emaciation.

Hurricane forecast pioneer dead at age 86 The ASSOCIATED PRESS FORT COLLINS, Colo. – Bill Gray, a pioneer in hurricane forecasting, died Saturday in Fort Collins, Colorado, according to his longtime assistant. He was 86. Phil Klotzbach said Gray began researching hurricanes in 1984, long before national hurricane forecasters began publishing their forecasts.

“His research on hurricanes was remarkable. He was one of the first researchers to determine why hurricanes were global, looking at water-temperature patterns and wind shear,” Klotzbach said.

In addition to his research, Gray also published seasonal hurricane forecasts, predicting the number and severity of hurricanes in the Atlantic Ocean.

Gray retired from his faculty post at Colorado State University in 2005, but he continued hurricane and climate research as a professor emeritus until his death, Klotzbach said. He was head of the university’s Tropical Meteorology Project and won the Neil Frank Award of the National Hurricane Conference in 1995 for his research contributions.

Gray got his start as a weather forecast officer for the U.S. Air Force in 1953. He earned a doctorate in geophysical sciences from the University of Chicago, and he joined the new Department of Atmospheric Science at Colorado State University in 1961.

Gray had a major impact on meteorology, with more than 70 of his graduate students now in the field, Klotzbach said.

Rauner, Madigan hamstring budget talks

By IVAN MORENO

The Associated Press SPRINGFIELD – The rivalry between Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner and Democratic House Speaker Michael Madigan continues to intensify during Illinois’ 10-month budget stalemate, leaving little hope that the state will have a spending plan any time soon.

Neither man has budged from their respective positions in a battle of attrition that has left Illinois as the only state in the country without a budget for the fiscal year that began July 1.

Rauner, a wealthy venture capitalist and first-time officeholder, promised voters he would shake up state government and wants a series of reforms aimed at curbing the power of unions and reducing costs for businesses.

Madigan, the face of the state Legislature since the 1980s, has maintained solid Democratic majorities by keeping his party’s allies happy, and that includes unions. He said Rauner’s ideas are destructive for the working class.

Tuesday marked the first time they were in the same room since December for negotiations, but the same day they publically maligned the other’s position. Rauner spoke to a group of busi-

Illinois comptroller: Pay for officeholders to be delayed

CHICAGO – Lawmakers from the governor on down will start waiting for their paychecks like others whose payments from the state have been delayed because of the prolonged budget impasse, Illinois Comptroller Leslie Munger said Sunday.

At a news conference, Munger said it isn’t fair that members of the General Assembly and other statewide office holders – herself included – be paid on time each month when agencies, vendors and others are having to wait months for money they’re owed or are having to slash programs or shut down because of the lack of funding.

“It is only appropriate that we all wait in line to receive payment,” she said.

Munger said that although the roughly

Their remarks show how far apart they still are – and how far Illinois may be from a resolution of its political paralysis:

this has been his plan from the very beginning. At the Tazewell County Republican Party’s Lincoln Day Dinner, March 2013, Gov. Rauner said, and I quote, ‘Even if Democrats got a major majority against us, you know what? They can’t stop us. They won’t stop me if I want to dramatically spend less. You need the Legislature if you want to spend more.

If you want to spend less, they can’t stop me. And I apologize, we may have to go through a little rough times.”

MOTIVES

GIVE AND TAKE

Each leader blames the other for using the budget gridlock for political gain.

Rauner: “I’ll tell you what’s going on right now, the General Assembly, the Democrats in the majority are working very aggressively to try to force a big tax hike with no reform. They are Bruce working really hard right Rauner now. They’re holding hostage (college student) grants, they’re holding hostage social services funding, and they’re holding hostage our university funding.”

Madigan: “Some of (Rauner’s) remarks in recent years clearly indicate

Democrats want Rauner to drop his demands for reforms and focus on balancing the budget. Rauner has said he’s willing to support a tax increase to help do that if he gets some of the things he wants.

students.

“The clock has started,” CTU President Karen Lewis said in a statement rejecting the arbitrator’s recommendation. “We have no choice but to prepare ourselves for a possible strike.”

The union staged a one-day walkout April 1 to protest what it said are proposals that would cut compensation for teachers and to highlight a state budget stalemate that has hurt education and social service funding.

The threat of a strike followed the release of a report earlier Saturday from an independent “fact finder” who looked at the positions of both sides and concluded that the union should take the system’s offer, which had already been rejected by the union’s expanded bargaining committee. It would have required teachers to contribute the full nine percent of each paycheck to their pensions. It also would have curbed some automatic pay rises.

Union: Clock has started toward teachers’ strike

CHICAGO – The Chicago Teachers Union said Saturday the countdown toward a possible strike had begun after it rejected the recommendation of a neutral arbitrator that it accept a contract offer from the nation’s third-largest school system.

Rauner: “Let me be clear, I can never, and will never support a tax hike without significant reforms. Just won’t do it. Just cannot do it. It would be a huge error, massive mistake for the people of Illinois to put in a massive tax hike and no reforms. I won’t do it. End of story.

Period. Won’t do it. Now when they compromise on what reforms we have, I’m willing to work with the General Assembly to find bipartisan compromise, but we need significant reforms.”

HOLDING FIRM

Rauner and Madigan have indicated they’re in the fight for the long haul.

Madigan: “My view of the important role of state government – which I have argued stands in stark contrast with Gov. Rauner’s view of the role of state government, as shown through his comments – has not changed since I first took office. State government has a vital role to play in working to provide needed services for those who need them the most.”

Rauner: “So we’re going to stay strong, need your support, big battle, this is a critical year. We’re going to stay strong.

It’s hand-to-hand combat ... we gotta stay persistent, stay true to our principles of freedom and opportunity and growth.”

Chicago police said 31-year-old Jose Ortiz was arrested on the city’s southwest side on Friday.

Ortiz is suspected in the June 7 shooting deaths of 19-year-old Richard Rodriguez and 19-year-old Jossean Rueda. The men were driving in the Austin neighborhood when someone in another vehicle opened fire and killed both men.

1959 time capsule found at ex-Illinois State dorm

NORMAL – A time capsule from 1959 has been found at a former Illinois State University residence hall that’s being taken down.

The box found at Hamilton-Whitten by a demolition foreman had roughly 50 items with ties to other former dorms, The (Bloomington) Pantagraph reported.

They include a 1959 yearbook, copies of revenue bonds used to finance Hamilton-Whitten’s construction, and an imitation cardinal. The copper box’s contents are “priceless in university history,” said university archivist April Anderson.

However, she failed to MINAMIASO, Japan – Eleven people remained missing Sunday in southern Japan from two powerful earthquakes that killed at least 41 people, as the U.S military announced it was preparing to join relief efforts and Toyota said it would suspend nearly all of its vehicle production in Japan.

Thousands of rescue workers fanned out in often mountainous terrain to search for the missing.

Rescue helicopters could be seen going into and out of the area, much of which has been cut off by landslides and road and bridge damage. With 180,000 people seeking shelter, some evacuees said that food distribution was a meager two rice balls for dinner.

A powerful, 7.8-magnitude earthquake shook Ecuador’s central coast Saturday, killing hundreds and spreading panic as it collapsed homes.

Death toll rising after earthquake in Ecuador

By DOLORES OCHOA and ALLEN PANCHANA The Associated Press

PEDERNALES, Ecuador – Aid began to flow Sunday to areas devastated by Ecuador’s strongest earthquake in decades and the death toll continued to rise as people left homeless hunkered down for another night outside in the dark. Officials said the quake killed at least 262 people and injured more than 2,500 along Ecuador’s coast. Vice President Jorge Glas said the toll was likely to rise because a large number of people remained unaccounted for, although he declined to say how many.

Much of the damage was reported in the cities of Manta, Portoviejo and Guayaquil, which are all several hundred miles from the epicenter of the quake that struck shortly after nightfall Saturday. But the loss of life seemed to be far worse in isolated, smaller towns close to the center of the earthquake.

In Pedernales, a town of 40,000 near the epicenter, soldiers put up a field hospital in a stadium where hundreds of people prepared to sleep outside for a second straight night. Downed power cables snaked across the streets with no prospect of electricity being restored soon, making it unsafe for many to return to their homes.

The town’s mayor said looting broke out Saturday night amid the chaos, but with the arrival of 14,000 police and soldiers to towns in the quake zone the situation appeared more under

control.

President Rafael Correa, who cut short a trip to Rome to oversee relief efforts, declared a national emergency and urged Ecuadoreans to stay strong.

“Everything can be rebuilt, but what can’t be rebuilt are human lives, and that’s the most painful,” he said in a telephone call to state TV before departing for Manta, where he arrived just before nightfall to be briefed by aides.

More than 3,000 packages of food and nearly 8,000 sleeping kits were being delivered Sunday. Ecuador’s ally, Venezuela, and neighboring Colombia, where the quake was also felt, organized airlifts of humanitarian aid. The European Union, Spain, Peru and Mexico also pledged aid.

Rescuers scrambled through ruins in the provincial capital Portoviejo, digging with their hands trying to find survivors.

“For God’s sake, help me find my family,” pleaded Manuel Quijije, 27, standing next to a wrecked building. He said his older brother, Junior, was trapped under a pile of twisted steel and concrete with two relatives.

“We managed to see his arms and legs.

They’re his, they’re buried, but the police kicked us out because they say there’s a risk the rest of the building will collapse,” Quijije said angrily as he looked on the ruins cordoned off by police. “We’re not afraid. We’re desperate.

We want to pull out our family.”

Impeach IRS commissioner?

WASHINGTON – Millions of taxpayers face a midnight deadline Monday to file their tax returns, while millions of others will ask for more time – a sixmonth extension. There was a three-day delay beyond the traditional April 15 deadline because Friday was a legal holiday in the District of Columbia.

Some things to know about taxes:

Thank you, Emancipation Day

150 million tax returns

The IRS expects millions of tax returns to be filed each day as the tax deadline approaches, with more than

5 million returns possible on Monday.

More than 150 million tax returns are expected to be filed this year. As of April 8, almost 82 million refunds have been issued, the IRS said. The average refund amount was $2,798.

For those who need more time to finish their returns, tax-filing extensions are available. The IRS reminds taxpayers extensions grant more time to file returns, but do not extend time to pay.

The IRS projects it will receive 13.5 million requests for extensions.

Congress targets IRS

The IRS is a favorite target of lawmakers from both parties who complain

about the complexity of the tax code and accompanying regulations that span more than 70,000 pages. Instructions to complete IRS Form 1040 – the main individual income-tax return – run more than 100 pages.

House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., said the House will vote this week on a half-dozen bills to hold the IRS more accountable.

One bill would require the IRS to crack down on employees who are delinquent on their own taxes.

According to the agency’s inspector general, nearly 1,600 IRS employees have failed to pay their own taxes in the past decade.

Cybersecurity

Ryan and other Republicans also criticize the IRS for failing to secure sensitive taxpayer data. They cite an inspector general’s report that identifies “significant security weaknesses that could affect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of financial and sensitive taxpayer data.”

Even so, the problem is growing.

What used to be limited to individuals filing a few dozen or a few hundred false tax returns now is often the work of organized crime syndicates in the U.S. and other countries, Koskinen said.

The agency has “a delicate balance” to maintain, he said: “We need to keep the criminals out, while letting legitimate taxpayers in.”

State proposals on LGBT rights push business into spotlight

By KATHLEEN FOODY The Associated Press

ATLANTA – Major corporations invested in Southern states have become some of the staunchest opponents of bills they consider discriminatory, facing off against Republican lawmakers eager to portray their states as the best home for global brands.

The NFL, Apple and other behemoths have cajoled Republicans into rejecting or softening bills in recent years that supporters said protect people who oppose same-sex marriage on religious grounds. Companies are speaking up loudly again this year in states where such bills have been proposed as part of a backlash to the U.S. Supreme Court ruling that effectively legalized gay marriage.

“As a company that is committed to the principle that everyone deserves to live without fear of discrimination simply for being who they are, becoming an employer in North Carolina, where

members of our teams will not have equal rights under the law, is simply untenable,” California-based PayPal CEO Dan Schulman said in a statement last week ending plans to hire 400 people for a new operations center in Charlotte.

The decision is among the largest tangible effects of a new North Carolina law overruling LGBT anti-discrimination measures passed by local governments.

Watchers of corporate America’s approach to lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender issues said such public statements are only one way companies have been supportive, pointing to several years of efforts to win over LGBT employees and customers.

CEOs sometimes take the lead, as in 2013 when Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz told a shareholder who believed the company’s pro-gay marriage position hurt profits: “Not every decision is an economic decision.” Some companies have gone beyond what’s required by state or federal law for equal employment policies and benefits. The Corpo-

rate Equality Index survey conducted by the Human Rights Campaign, which has graded companies’ environment for LGBT employees since 2002, gave 13 companies a perfect score that first year. This year’s survey reported 407 companies hit that mark.

When Cindy Armine-Klein joined the payment technology company First Data in 2014, the firm had recently scored below 50 on the survey. CEO Frank Bisignano told Armine-Klein when she was hired as chief control officer that year to prioritize creation of LGBT programs.

Since then, the company has added coverage of domestic partners to employee benefits, included gender identity in its anti-discrimination policies and created a group to connect LGBT employees around the country. When a bill shielding opponents of same-sex marriage cleared the Georgia legislature this year, concerns quickly reached executives through that network.

The firm, headquartered in Atlanta,

joined about 500 others opposing the bill. Bisignano made a personal call to thank Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal after his veto of the measure.

“When you have the opportunity to bring your whole self to work, that creates happy, active, creative employees,” said Armine-Klein, who married her wife in 2011. “That is good for the employee; that is good for us as a company; that is good for our clients.”

But firms also want to be on equal footing with competitors.

Nearly 400 companies last March signed on to a court document filed with the U.S. Supreme Court during its review of several states’ gay marriage bans, three months before the justices effectively legalized the unions. Attorneys representing the broad coalition of companies, from online retailer Amazon to video game developer Zynga, wrote the “fractured legal landscape” of differing state policies on marriage harmed the companies’ ability to operate across state lines.

• Monday, April 18, 2016

The traditional April 15 filing deadline was extended because of Emancipation Day, a legal holiday in the nation’s capital. The holiday commemorates President Abraham Lincoln’s signing of the District of Columbia Compensated Emancipation Act in 1862. The act freed more than 3,000 enslaved people in the district and compensated their owners.

The Friday holiday moves the tax deadline to the next business day. In Massachusetts and Maine, taxpayers get one more day to file. The deadline there is Tuesday because Monday is a legal holiday, Patriots’ Day, in both states. The holiday commemorates the first battles of the Revolutionary War in 1775.

When the federal deadline is moved back, state and local deadlines also move back to match it.

The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee has moved to impeach IRS Commissioner John Koskinen, but a full vote has not been taken in the House.

House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., stopped short of backing impeachment.

The IRS “is an agency that needs to be cleaned up,” Ryan said at a news conference last week. But instead of impeachment, Republicans need to win the presidential election to “get better people in these agencies and reform the tax code so we’re not harassing the average taxpayer with a tax code that they can’t even understand,” Ryan said.

Oil island draws heat for ‘disrepair, dysfunction’

By BRIAN MELLEY

The Associated Press LOS ANGELES – One of California’s early offshore oil drilling operations is under fire from state regulators to clean up its act after severely corroded and unsafe wells and other equipment were found at the idle facility as part of ramped-up inspections.

The Department of Conservation focused its renewed enforcement efforts on a facility with ties to an oil company with a long history of spills that allowed man-made Rincon Island wells to fall into disrepair near a popular surf spot on the Southern California coast.

“The number of long-term idle wells at this site in the marine environment is of great concern,” said Ken Harris, supervisor of the Division of Oil, Gas and Geothermal Resources known as DOGGR. “The operator has failed to maintain the facility to regulatory standards.”

The action aimed at Rincon Island Limited Partnership comes as the state agency tries to take a more proactive approach to regulating the industry after

acknowledging shortcomings for what critics have said was a longtime lack of oversight that has led to pollution and other problems.

“DOGGR and industry worked hand in hand for many decades,” said Brian Segee, an attorney with the Environmental Defense Center. “I think there’s an effort being made to try to change that culture.”

The order comes as the agency investigates the cause of a massive natural gas well blowout in October that spewed the largest known amount of climate-changing methane into the atmosphere and drove more than 6,400 families from their Los Angeles homes.

It also follows an oil spill nearly a year ago on the nearby Santa Barbara coast that demonstrated the threat to the marine environment from the petroleum industry, which operates onshore throughout the area and from massive platforms that dot the horizon in federal waters.

A motorist passing along the scenic Pacific Coast Highway would not think Big Oil when spotting tiny palm-dotted Rincon Island that looks more like a ty-

coon’s hideaway or maybe an exclusive inn.

It was built in the late 1950s by Arco and has served many years as a decent oil producer just beyond the popular Mussel Shoals surf break in Ventura County.

Greka, an oil company responsible for many spills in Santa Barbara County, acquired Rincon Island Limited Partnership in 2002.

It has largely been inactive since 2008 because of disrepair of a wooden causeway that carries vehicles and pipelines to the mainland, according to public records.

Inspectors on Rincon Island on Feb. 23 noted nearly four dozen violations that included several rusted wellheads, valves, handles and pipes “in an unsafe state of disrepair and dysfunction,” according to the order pertaining to 75 wells, tanks or other items on the oneacre island.

The agency also ordered the firm to inspect an idle well that sits on the sea floor that was damaged by commercial fishing gear more than 25 years ago.

The well, which was the first subsea

well in California waters when it was drilled in 1961, has not been in use since 1977. It sits in 55 feet of water about a half-mile from Rincon Island.

Plans to permanently seal and abandon the well have been filed repeatedly, but the work was never performed.

Attorney Kristen Monsell of the Center for Biological Diversity said the state’s action is another sign of an agency unprepared to deal with aging infrastructure.

“I’m disturbed by the agency’s protracted failure to act and its meager response when it finally did,” she said.

“State regulators knew for decades that this facility is a hazard. When a state inspection revealed even more problems, the agency’s response was to wait six weeks to issue repair orders and rely on the company itself to conduct future inspections.”

The facility was ordered to take action by June, although the order noted that some of the work already has been completed.

A lawyer for the business said it still was reviewing the orders and did not have a comment.

Libyan smuggling route grows 1 year after mass drownings

By SHAWN POGATCHNIK The Associated Press

When more than 800 people drowned last year on an overcrowded ship bound for Italy’s southernmost isle of Lampedusa, the European Union deployed a round-the-clock flotilla that has saved thousands of lives on what remains one of the world’s most perilous journeys.

But one year after Europe’s deadliest migrant disaster, humanitarian and security efforts off the lawless coast of Libya face a growing challenge to catch smugglers and bring asylum-seekers to safety.

So far this year, 24,000 migrants have arrived in Italy via this route, and tens of thousands more are waiting in the pipeline, according to the International Organization for Migration.

Rescue officials seek to ensure no repeat of the night of April 18, 2015, when a boat packed with an estimated 850 mostly African passengers capsized as a civilian freighter approached. Most were locked below decks; only 28 survived. Several other smuggling vessels sank in the first months of 2015, some without a trace at a cost of untold lives, before EU naval reinforcements arrived that June to cast a safety net.

Experts said that net is fragile.

Most of those 24,000 migrants were scooped up by Italian coast guard and EU vessels from recklessly overloaded

Rescued migrants are seen May 14, 2015, aboard MP01 ship of the Italian border police in the Mediterranean Sea, heading to the Island of Lampedusa in southern Italy. vessels that were left drifting, engines dead, between Libya and Italy in a body of water dubbed the Lampedusa Triangle. Even if their amateur pilots had the requisite navigation skills, few vessels carry enough fuel to complete the estimated 185-mile crossing to Lampedusa from Libya.

Frederico Soda, director of the IOM’s office in Rome, said about 350 people have died so far this year trying to cross the southern Mediterranean

route, nearly as many deaths over the same period as the far busier smuggling routes between Turkey and the eastern islands of Greece.

Now, as EU authorities work to halt that eastern Mediterranean flow of migrants and deport them from Greece back to Turkey, analysts anticipate that asylum-seekers from the Mideast and Asia may see Libya once again as the most temptingly open gateway to Europe.

They note that Libya’s paramilitary chaos may make the North African nation a particularly attractive launching point for Europe-bound migrants because EU authorities won’t deport migrants back to such a danger zone.

Virtually all of this year’s arrivals from Libya have been Africans – but observers say that could be about to change.

EU nations are maintaining a fleet anchored primarily in Lampedusa that operates under the code name Operation Sophia. It includes Italy’s largest warship, the aircraft carrier Cavour, and is commanded by an Italian rear admiral, Enrico Credendino.

The fleet’s official mission is to confront smugglers and deter illegal immigration to Italy, but in practice the effort has become one of the 28-nation bloc’s biggest rescue missions in its history.

On Sunday, these two operations rescued more than 2,000 people from eight boats that had been spotted by a Luxembourg-provided surveillance plane.

A Norwegian vessel took 898 migrants to Sicily, including 224 children, while a German ship delivered 738 others to Lampedusa. Doctors on board the Cavour performed a life-saving abdominal operation on an African man airlifted onto the carrier.

The U.N. Security Council in October empowered the EU fleet to begin arresting smugglers and seizing their craft in international waters north of Libya.

OUR VIEW

Hastert to get off easy

Chicago Sun-Times

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

ANOTHER VIEW

Envisioning a nuclear-free world What Secretary of State John Kerry called his “gut wrenching” visit to the Hiroshima war memorial served several purposes. As the highest-ranking official in an American administration ever to visit the site, he paid respects to the victims of one of the most devastating acts of World War II and reflected on how Japan and the United States have forged a strong alliance over the past 70 years.

He also emphasized that “war must never be the first resort” and urged a continued push for a world free from nuclear weapons.

For years, top American officials did not visit the memorial because of sensitivities over the nuclear attacks by the U.S. on Hiroshima and Nagasaki that killed 200,000 people, mostly civilians.

Now that Mr. Kerry has paved the way, there should be nothing keeping President Obama from becoming the first American president to stop at Hiroshima when he travels to Japan next month for a meeting of the Group of 7 leaders. But he should be prepared to

offer some tangible new initiative to keep alive his flagging vision of a nuclear-free world.

Mr. Obama created big expectations in his first term when he endorsed the ambitious goal of a world without nuclear weapons. It is necessary to “ignore the voices who tell us that the world cannot change,” he said in a speech in Prague in 2009. He has achieved some important measures, most notably the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, which has significantly curbed Iran’s ability to develop a nuclear weapon, and the 2010 New Start treaty mandating cuts in the number of strategic nuclear warheads deployed by the United States and Russia to 1,550 warheads each.

More progress, however, has been stymied in part because Russia, led by an increasingly aggressive Vladimir Putin, has thwarted talks on further nuclear arms reductions. The Republican-led Senate has refused to consider ratifying the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty. And Pakistan has blocked international negotia-

tions on a treaty banning fissile material production.

But Obama has failed to take advantage of opportunities for bolder action. He has not gotten China, India and Pakistan into talks aimed at halting the growth of their nuclear arsenals, or taken U.S. nuclear weapons off alert. His support for a $1 trillion program to replace America’s aging nuclear weapons severely undercuts his lofty words about a “world without nuclear weapons.”

Obama still has time to promote his antinuclear legacy.

He should cancel the new airlaunched, nuclear-armed cruise missile. He should work to persuade the UN Security Council to endorse the nuclear test moratorium that all countries but North Korea observe, even though the test ban treaty has never formally taken effect, and push to have the UN organization that monitors testing be made permanent. If President Obama does visit Hiroshima, he needs to make it count.

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.

The New York Times

• Monday, April 18, 2016

Former House Speaker Dennis Hastert, who stands accused of sexually molesting and inappropriately touching five teenagers long ago, doesn’t seem to understand that he is lucky – very lucky – that prosecutors are asking for up to just six months of prison time.

Were it not for the statute of limitations, he could be facing criminal charges that would put him away for decades, effectively the rest of his life. Yet he’s playing the have-mercy-on-me card, asking a federal judge to go easy on him because he is old and sick and already so shamed, even as he refuses to fully ‘fess up – victim by victim – to his miserable conduct way back when.

The tragedy is not Hastert’s fall, except perhaps in his own mind. The tragedy is the permanent damage done to the boys. One has died, but prosecutors report that the other four – now middle-age men – continue to struggle with the psychic scars. It is too late to prevent what happened from 1965 to 1981 at Yorkville High School, where Hastert was a wrestling coach. But we can learn from the mistakes.

Where were the safeguards? Where was the common sense? How could a La-Z-Boy-type chair set up in the locker room so “the coach” could watch kids take showers not draw questions? How could Coach Hastert take kids on overnight road trips with no other adults? The appalling behavior was Hastert’s, but the failure was institutional.

There is an argument in some quarters that the feds were wrong to vigorously pursue Hastert for a technical crime – illegally structuring large bank withdrawals to hide their detection from the government – for which he might have been given a pass had there been no link to past criminal activity.

Hastert has pleaded guilty to structuring bank withdrawals to hide $1.7 million of an agreed $3.5 million in payments to one of his alleged victims, a former wrestler. But under federal law, Hastert could get as much as five years in prison when he is sentenced on April 27.

The much shorter sentence of zero to six months that the feds are recommending is by no means severe even for the crime of structuring. And had he been convicted on the sex abuse charges, he could have been sentenced to decades in prison.

Yet Hastert, as his part of the bargain, has only generally acknowledged his shameful actions as a coach at Yorkville High.

How fully does he appreciate the harm he has done? If Hastert truly accepts responsibility and feels remorse, let him say so himself. His victims might like to hear it straight from the Coach.

Sanders rages against the dying of the light Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders could see his flame fading during the debate with Hillary Clinton on Thursday. If he loses the New York primary on Tuesday, he can soldier on, but the gallop that won him eight of the last nine contests is over. You could tie up all the superdelegates in traffic in the Holland Tunnel until the Democratic convention and Sanders still couldn’t win the nomination without New York.

That’s probably why Sanders and Clinton rolled out all their old grievances, only louder and more insistently. There was a “no, you didn’t, yes, I did” quality to the back and forth.

She went after him for his lack of specificity, notably for failing to spell out his plan for breaking up the big banks. He repeatedly questioned her judgment, a big step back from his earlier blunder of saying she wasn’t qualified.

“Let’s talk about judgment. And let us talk about the worst foreign policy blunder in the modern history of this country,” he said, referring to Iraq. “I led the opposition to that war. Secretary Clinton voted for that.”

She had no comeback, perhaps because there is no comeback, unless you are ready to align yourself with Dick Cheney. Nor does she have one for the hundreds of thousands of dollars she accepted from Wall Street for speeches. She said she would turn over transcripts: “Let’s set the same standard for everybody,” she said. “When everybody does it, OK, I will do it.”

Sanders saw an easy pitch and swung. “I am going to release all of the transcripts of the speeches that I gave on Wall Street behind closed doors, not for $225,000, not for $2,000, not for two cents,” he said. “There were no speeches.”

There’s a presumption that banks and corporations make donations and pay big speaking fees because they get something for it, whether or not they do. No model of pure ethics, Congress banned such speeches years ago because it looked bad and sometimes was.

Most of the time, Clinton seemed to know that all she had to do was to run out the clock. Her way is to nod her head as if she’s only stating what anyone with half a brain would agree with, speak in her best kindergarten teacher’s voice and, when exasperated, shout.

Sander’s way is to shout all of the time.

It wasn’t always this way. Not too long ago, when he and Clinton got along, he seemed happy to pull his punches (remember the line about how sick he was of hearing about her “damn emails”). Clinton patted him on the head no matter what he said, as if he were her doddering grandfather

VIEWS Margaret Carlson (though he is only a few years older than she is).

Several times, though, Clinton couldn’t resist the urge to hit Sanders where he is already bruised. He had to see the left hook coming but still, he had no new explanation for his vote against holding gun manufacturers liable, other than to counter that he was an early and persistent opponent of assault weapons.

He didn’t nail her on her big mistake earlier in the week when she claimed that Vermont was responsible for most of the firearms used in crimes in New York. That statement was corrected by Vermont’s governor and awarded three Pinocchios by a nonpartisan fact-checker.

Sanders’s one big get was showing that Clinton was fudging on how she would save Social Security. Pressed and pressed, she finally admitted that she wouldn’t be raising taxes on the wealthy by raising the limit on taxable income for Social Security from $118,000 to $250,000. She prefers a “combination” of fixes.

The most dramatic moment was when Sanders said that “superpredator,” a term Clinton used in 1996 to describe young black criminals, was “racist,” (like the word “liar,” it used to be employed sparingly). The most amusing exchange was Sander’s response to Clinton’s claim that she called out the big banks on their mortgage practices during the financial crisis. He asked if that was “before or after” she took money from Wall Street, and then rolled his eyes. “Oh, my goodness,” he chided her, “they must have been really crushed by that.”

It was a good moment for Sanders but not a great one. Sarcasm doesn’t become him. He’s an earnest, decent crusader who believes to his core that big money has corrupted the system and tilted the playing field so that the little guy can’t get a leg up.

The message appeals not just to young people, but also to many more who know we accept way too much as normal that isn’t.

It’s not right that Warren Buffett paid less in taxes than his secretary did. It’s not right that corporations can give as much money as they want to help politicians get elected. We just don’t think anyone will do anything about it. Sanders would. It’s why the light dimmed Thursday night.

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff cause PTSD. That includes airplane accidents, physical assaults, fires, heart attacks and other major physical illnesses, and natural disasters such as hurricanes, floods and earthquakes.

When diagnosing PTSD, doctors often look for three things: • Hyperarousal. This is an ongoing state of tension that resembles a “fight or flight” response to danger. You may experience insomnia, angry outbursts, an exaggerated startle response and hypervigilance. Headaches, trembling, diarrhea and fatigue are common.

• Avoidance. You may feel detached or numb. You may be unable to talk about the traumatic event or revisit the place where it occurred. PTSD patients often withdraw from people and social events, particularly those even remotely associated with the trauma.

• Re-experiencing. This is the worst symptom. Suddenly, a memory of the traumatic event takes over your brain.

It’s hard to concentrate or function normally. Recurrent nightmares also are quite typical. In extreme cases, you mentally may relive the traumatic experience.

Talk to your doctor. Whether or not you have PTSD, you clearly need support to recover from your experience. If it is PTSD, psychological support, drug therapy or a combination should help.

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

HOW TO PLAY Each row, column and set of 3-by-3 boxes must contain the numbers 1 through 9 without repetition.

Dear Dr. K: Last year, a truck ran a red light, totaled my car and nearly totaled me. I spent several weeks in the hospital.

Since then, my body has healed, but I’m not myself. I’m very irritable, easily angered and sleeping poorly. A friend says I have PTSD, but I thought that occurred to people – soldiers, for instance – exposed to repeated threats.

Dear Reader: Your friend is astute.

Post-traumatic stress disorder – PTSD – is a condition in which distressing symptoms occur after a major trauma. While the media often talk about PTSD in soldiers who have seen active combat, you don’t have to be in battle to get PTSD. A single horrible event, such as a bad auto accident, surely can do it.

In a previous column about PTSD, I mentioned a patient of mine years ago who was in a terrible auto accident as a young man. The accident, which broke many bones and caused him to be hospitalized for many weeks, occurred at a particular intersection not far from his home where a drunk driver ran a red light.

For years afterward, every time he came near the intersection, his heart raced, he broke out in a sweat and he felt like he was going to die. Finally, he stopped driving anywhere near that intersection. But he still had bad dreams.

Fortunately, with treatment, his PTSD became much less of a problem.

About 10 years ago, though, just after he retired, the bad dreams came back.

His explanation: “When I no longer had to worry about work, I was free to worry about other things.” An aggressive schedule of church work, book clubs and travel helped beat back the PTSD. So, a single crisis (such as your serious car accident) or a series of events – as long as they are severe enough – can

Dear Abby:

DEAR ABBY My husband is extremely critiJeanne cal of others. He Phillips almost never has anything nice to say about anyone. He badmouths his co-workers, friends, family members and strangers. We don’t have friends anymore because he doesn’t want to be around them. I don’t understand his type of personality.

He thinks his way of thinking and doing things is the only right way and everyone else is wrong. He’s always quick to shift the blame when something goes awry. If he accidentally bumps into someone or breaks something, it’s never his fault – the person was in his way, or the broken object was junk, etc.

What makes people this way? Is there any hope that he can change? We are nearing retirement age, and I need my space. I cannot be his everything. – Reached My Limit In Indiana Dear Reached: It appears you married a self-entitled misanthrope. Not knowing him, I can’t guess why your husband is this way.

Change is possible in anyone, if the person recognizes the need for it and wants to change.

From your description, he must be a heavy load to carry, and I doubt he will admit the need.

If you want to continue this marriage and save your sanity after he retires, you must create separate time, hobbies and relationships for yourself apart from him, and be prepared in advance for the fact that he won’t like it one bit.

Dear Abby: Kudos to you for your advice to “Willing to Do It in West Virginia” (Dec. 10), who asked for advice regarding temporarily adopting her son “Kevin’s” dog while he was away on deployment, which her husband did not want to do. The husband felt Kevin getting the dog in the first place was a mistake and her son should “learn his lesson.” You advised they should temporarily take the dog, since there was no way of knowing what might happen during his deployment.

Giving the dog to a shelter would have a high probability of being a death sentence. That’s not humane when there are viable alternatives, and the situation is no fault of the dog’s. An alternative would be to contact Dogs on Deployment (dogsondeployment.org), a national nonprofit that provides an online network that connects service members with volunteers willing to board their pets during their service commitments.

Dogs on Deployment promotes responsible, lifelong pet ownership by advocating for military pet owner rights, providing educational resources and granting financial assistance for military pet owners during times of emergency.

Lazarus Long, a Robert Heinlein character, said, “Be wary of strong drink. It can make you shoot at tax collectors and miss.” That is apropos since this is the day by which Americans must have filed their tax returns for 2015.

For two weeks, we have been looking at the few bidding conventions I believe pairs should employ.

But it is no use bidding perfectly if you play imperfectly -- although if you are always in the best contract, you will be tough to beat.

In today’s deal, how should the play go in four spades? West leads the heart two. East takes the trick with his ace and leads the suit back.

West wins, cashes his diamond ace, and shifts to a club. What next?

South’s two-diamond rebid was New Minor Forcing, showing at least game-invitational strength and asking North to describe his hand further. When North indicated threecard spade support, South jumped to game in that suit. Note that in three no-trump, North should immediately lose four hearts and one diamond.

Not that four spades is a walk in the park, since declarer must handle the trump suit without loss. What is the right way to try to do that?

South should win in the dummy and lead the spade jack. He hopes that East holds the king and either defender has 10-doubleton. When East covers, declarer takes the trick and cashes the spade queen. Here, this works.

Notice that if South starts with a low spade from the board (a sensible alternative), East can put up his king!

Then South would surely win and lead a spade to dummy’s nine.

Woodstock’s Smith leads Away with 17

Away girls team cruises to easy win; Huntley’s Andrews MVP

HEBRON – Woodstock senior Vannis Smith demonstrated what he can do on a basketball court within the first few minutes of the second half.

Smith, playing for the Away team, threw down a dunk on one trip, then drained a 3-pointer the next time down.

The 6-foot-2 Blue Streaks guard scored 12 of his 17 points in the second half to help his team to a 97-81 victory Sunday at the McHenry County Area All-Star Basketball Extravaganza at Alden-Hebron’s Tigard Gymnasium.

Smith, who hit 7-of-16 field goals and three 3s, was selected as the game’s MVP. Prairie Ridge’s Christopher Bradshaw added 14 for the Away, while Marian Central’s T.J. Kaufmann scored 12.

“I was taking the same shots in the first half,” said Smith, who will play at NCAA Division III Gustavus Adolphus in St. Paul, Minnesota, next year. “My shot started falling after the long rest and the 3-point contest at halftime.

Maybe that got me more warmed up.”

HEBRON – Woodstock North’s Haley Ahr scored the first time she touched the ball, and again on the ensuing trip, and on almost every other shot she attempted.

Ahr scored six consecutive points early as the Away team took charge at Sunday’s McHenry County Area All-Star Basketball Extravaganza at Alden-Hebron’s Tigard Gymnasium, although she was not about to take all the credit.

“We moved the ball around well, the passes were phenomenal,” said Ahr, a 5-foot-11 forward who will play at NCAA Division II McKendree.

“They got me shots, and then that opened it up for those girls outside.

We had a good inside-outside game.”

Ahr scored 17 points and Hampshire’s Emma Benoit tossed in 16 as the Away cruised to an 87-51 victory.

Huntley’s Ali Andrews, a 6-2 forward headed to Illinois, received MVP honors with 24 points and 11 rebounds.

The Home, which was supposed to have Johnsburg’s Jazza Johns and Huntley’s Paige Renkosik to add some size, was overmatched when those two could not play.

Johns had a showcase commitment with her travel team, and Renkosik woke up Sunday with the flu.

Advance Care Planning SPONSORED BY

By Puneeth Indurlal Make your choices heard and your wishes count.

“Simply put, Advance Care Planning is making decisions about the value and type of care you would want to receive if and when you are incapable of making decisions for yourself” said Dr.C.Yeshwant, Hematologist and Oncologist at Illinois Cancer Specialists of Fox Valley.

Just like a will is important for your finances, it is important to make your decisions for healthcare and record them in documents called advance directives.

“Make it official”, said Dr.Yeshwant.

Advance Directives can come to be necessary at any age or situation, Dr.Yeshwant added. Even if you are not ill now, planning for your healthcare for the future will ensure that you get the medical care you would want, Dr.Yeshwant explained.

Knowing how you would decide for yourself will help family and friends with carrying out your wishes. “Communication is the key here”, Dr.Yeshwant stressed. Tell all key people who should be told that you have an advance directive.

There are three types of advance directive documents—a living will, a durable power of attorney for health care and a do not resuscitate (DNR) order, explained Dr.Yeshwant.

“Choosing a person to be your health care proxy can be challenging”, Dr.Yeshwant continued.

The person who will make decisions for you when you are incapable is called your health care proxy.

“Your proxy should be someone you trust, someone capable of carrying out your wishes, someone who can make hard decisions when it is necessary, someone who can separate his/her own wishes from yours”, added Dr.Yeshwant.

Your doctor can tell you how your advance directive can impact your treatment choices.

“More often, it helps us choose the most appropriate treatment for the patient”, said Dr.Yeshwant.

Your preferences may change depending on yourage,medicalconditionoremergencysituation.

You are free to review and change your decisions when needed, Dr.Yeshwant concluded.

Curry still questionable for Warriors for Game 2 against Rockets

OAKLAND, Calif. – The Golden State Warriors are preparing to play without NBA MVP Stephen Curry for Game 2 of their playoff series against Houston as he nurses an ankle injury.

Even if they know he will beg and plead to play through any pain. As long as he can’t make it worse, Curry insists it will be hard to keep him off the court Monday night.

RESPONDING TO PRESSURE Because glaucoma may initially cause no symptoms, it is important to detect it early with a comprehensive eye exam. At that point, the eye doctor will carefully inspect the optic nerve at the back of the eye and measure eye pressure. Both “open-angle glaucoma” and “closed-angle glaucoma” involve elevated inner eye pressure. However, in about one-third of all cases, eye pressure remains in the normal range, but optic nerve damage still occurs. Because “normal-tension glaucoma” can still result in optic nerve damage, it is important that it be treated. Research shows that, even if a patient’s eye pressure is still in the normal range, lowering the pressure with medication can prevent optic nerve damage from worsening.

P.S. Treatment for glaucoma to improve the eye’s natural drainage or create a new route for drainage may include medications, laser treatment, or eye surgery.

The early detection of glaucoma is key to controlling its progression and preventing further damage. At CRYSTAL LAKE OPHTHALMOLOGY, our goal is to provide you and your family with quality, convenient, affordable eye and vision care, while giving you the attention you serve.

We’re located at 280-A Memorial Court, where we are currently accepting new patients. Our office uses state-of-the-art equipment and keeps up-to-date on all the latest procedures. Your eyes deserve the best give us a call at 815.455.4222.

What to watch Cubs at St. Louis, 7 p.m., WPWR, ESPN In case the rivalry didn’t come with enough tension, the three-game series that starts Monday night has a new storyline to watch. Former Cardinals John Lackey (who gets the start) and Jason Heward return to Busch Stadium for the first time since leaving for the Cubs in free agency this past offseason. More on Page 9.

Running strong BOSTON (AP) – Adrianne Haslet heard all the talk about taking back Boylston Street in the years after the Boston Marathon bombings.

Her mind was 26.2 miles away.

After losing her left leg in the 2013 finish-line explosions, Haslet decided that she would return to the course – this time as a runner.

Hampshire coach Mike Featherly, who coached the Away team, felt a ca-

It was evident the way the Away team played Sunday.

Benoit, a 5-11 forward who will play at D-II Northern Michigan, scored six early points to help the Away get rolling.

WESTERN CONFERENCE FIRST ROUND: BLUES 3, BLACKHAWKS 2 (BLUES LEAD SERIES, 2-1)

By MARK LAZERUS

mlazerus@suntimes.com

BLACKHAWKS NOTES

Blues goalie passing stern test early in series

By MARK POTASH

mpotash@suntimes.com CHICAGO – The Hawks are bringing the heat. And Blues goaltender Brian Elliott is handling it.

Elliott stopped 44-of-46 shots and parlayed a big break on a shot by Andrew Ladd that hit both posts into a 3-2 victory at the United Center that gave the Blues a 2-1 lead in their first-round playoff series.

The Hawks had their chances.

Ladd had eight shots on goal. Artemi Panarin had six and Patrick Kane five.

Defenseman Brent Seabrook had six shots on goal and scored on the Hawks’ first shot – a slap shot on a power play for a 1-0 lead in the first period.

“We created a ton of offense,” Hawks captain Jonathan Toews. “Maybe sometimes we’re getting too pretty, but we

should just be putting everything on net.

“Give their goaltender credit, he played a great game again. At the same time, so did ours. But offensively, I think we can keep creating the way we have with the puck down low and working for those second chances and rebounds around the net and just finding those ugly goals.”

Elliott was particularly strong in the Brian Elliot second period when he stopped 23-of-24 shots, allowing only Artem Anisimov’s goal that gave the Hawks a 2-1 lead. “[The Hawks] did a good job of crashing the net and creating traffic,” Elliott said. “Our guys battled and kept guys to the outside – kept shooting

lanes in my sight of view.”

And he caught a break when Ladd’s shot hit the left post and caromed off the right post and out.

“Sometimes those go in. Sometimes they go out,” Elliott said. “[Luck] was on our side.”

Panarin’s guile: The Hawks broke a 1-all tie in the second period when Artemi Panarin lost a faceoff in his offensive end and quickly retrieved the puck from Blues defenseman Colton Paryko off the boards and passed to teammate Artem Anisimov for a goal that gave the Hawks a 2-1 lead.

It was Panarin’s first faceoff of the series and only faceoff of the game. He was credited with a faceoff win, apparently because he recovered the puck so quickly.

“I loved the thought process, and we

may have to utilize him more,” Hawks coach Joel Quenneville said. “That was a pretty smart play.”

Weise in; Desjardins out: Forward Dale Weise played in Game 3 after being a healthy scratch in the first two games, with Andrew Desjardins sitting. Weise played on the third line with Teuvo Teravainen and Richard Panik. Weise had four hits and no shots in 6:29 of ice time.

Ott man in: Steve Ott, in for Ryan Reaves, was playing for the first time since Dec. 5 and played a typical Steve Ott game, delivering four hits and making no friends on the Hawks.

“He did good. He did exactly what he needed to do for a first game in four months,” Blues coach Ken Hitchcock said. “He wants to be an impact guy, and he can have a big impact on the series here.”

• Monday, April 18, 2016

CHICAGO – They were coming off a brutal gut-punch of a loss, after which their coach implied there was an officiating conspiracy out to get them. They were coming into a hostile building, the home of the defending Stanley Cup champions and their longtime nemesis. And they were down a goal against the league’s ultimate closers.

Previous incarnations of the St. Louis Blues might have folded. These Blues did not.

“Whatever’s happened in years before,” Corey Crawford said, “they’re not the same team.”

These Blues rallied for two goals in the third period for a 3-2 victory in Game 3, handing the Blackhawks their first regulation loss in a game they led after two periods since the 2013-14 playoffs, a span of 77 games. These Blues responded to adversity the way the Hawks have done so many times in the past. These Blues present perhaps the toughest challenge yet for the Hawks, who have to win three of the next four games to get out of the first round.

The Hawks trail the series 2-1, with Game 4 looming Tuesday night at the United Center, where the Blues have won three times this season. It’s as close to a must-win in the first round that the Hawks have faced since they returned to Chicago down 0-2 to the Blues in 2014. The Hawks won the next four games in that series. With Brian

group,” Kane said. “Obviously, after today, we wish we were in a better position, but it is what it is now. We have to bounce back.”

The Hawks had their opportunity to send a message and put the Blues away early, as St. Louis gave the Hawks three power plays in the first six minutes of the game. The Hawks scored on the first one, a Brent Seabrook blast from the point, but came up empty on the next two. They had momentum and a lead, but the Blues still had hope.

And sure enough, Colton Parayko tied it up at 12:11 of the first when his shot ticked off Tomas Fleischmann’s stick and past Crawford.

6 BEARS ANALYSIS

Five questions as offseason program begins

By PATRICK FINLEY

pfinley@suntimes.com The Bears report back to work Monday, starting the first phase of their offseason workout program at Halas Hall.

For the first two weeks, their activities will be limited to strength, conditioning and rehab work. They can’t wear helmets, but quarterbacks can throw to receivers – as long as they’re not being covered.

Those limitations won’t prevent us from asking five questions upon their return to work:

How much will Kevin White be held back?

General manager Ryan Pace said the Bears probably would have to rein in the receiver in the coming weeks.

The first-round pick is “100 percent healthy” after missing last season after left shin surgery, Pace said, and excited to be back.

“I mean, it’s good to have a player that you have to pull back more than you have to push,” Pace said last month. “He’s one of those guys you’ve got to pull back a little bit just because of his attitude.”

from quarterbacks coach to offensive coordinator in part because of his relationship with Jay Cutler. To what extent will it bear fruit?

Loggains will have to rework the passing attack without running back Matt Forte, who signed with the Jets, and tight end Martellus Bennett, who was traded to the Patriots.

The assistants are new, too: receivers coach Curtis Johnson and quarterbacks coach Dave Ragone.

make up the right side of the line.

The rest appears to be up for grabs, with Manny Ramirez brought in to challenge second-year center Hroniss Grasu and Ted Larsen to push left guard Matt Slauson.

Then there’s left tackle Charles Leno, Jr. The Bears say they like him there, but what happens if there’s a college star available when the Bears pick No. 11 on April 28?

How will the culture change?

This year certainly will go smoother than last year.

Bennett stayed home from coach John Fox’s first offseason program while pining for a new contract that he never would receive. Also in the last year of his deal, Forte missed the Brian Piccolo Award presentation at Halas Hall. He avoided distraction the rest of the season, however, and was classy in his departure.

It’s no secret receiver Alshon Jeffery would prefer a long-term contract to the one-year franchise tag he’s been tendered. Expect the two sides to reach a deal by July 15 without the soap opera antics of last year.

The Bears spent big money this offseason to infuse the team not only with talent but with a winning culture.

8 NBA PLAYOFF ROUNDUP

STANLEY CUP PLAYOFF ROUNDUP

Cavs sink Pistons in Game 1 Islanders top The ASSOCIATED PRESS

CLEVELAND – Kyrie Irving scored 31 points in his first playoff game since being injured last year in the NBA Finals, and Kevin Love added 28, leading the Cleveland Cavaliers to a 106-101 victory over the Detroit Pistons on Sunday in Game 1 of their first-round playoff series.

LeBron James added 22 points and 11 assists for the top-seeded Cavs. They are favored to win the Eastern Conference again but got all they could handle from the Pistons.

Love, knocked out of the playoffs with a shoulder injury in the first round a year ago, made two critical 3-pointers in the fourth quarter.

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope scored 21 points and Marcus Morris 20 – but just one after halftime – for the Pistons, making their first playoff appearance since 2009. Andre Drummond had 13 points and 11 rebounds.

Detroit made 15 3-pointers, but

the Pistons’ playoff inexperience showed in the final minutes.

Game 2 is Wednesday night in Cleveland.

Spurs 106, Grizzlies 74: At San Antonio, Kawhi Leonard had 20 points, and San Antonio beat Memphis in Game 1 of their Western Conference series, handing the Grizzlies their worst postseason loss.

LaMarcus Aldridge added 17 points, and Tony Parker had 15 points and six assists for San Antonio. The Spurs sat their starters in the fourth quarter to rest them for Game 2 on Tuesday night in San Antonio.

San Antonio shot 68 percent in the third quarter, outscoring Memphis 33-14 to break open what had been a relatively close game against the short-handed Grizzlies.

Memphis matched a postseason low in the first quarter with 13 points, and only Xavier Munford’s 15-foot jumper with 46.1 seconds remaining kept it from matching the worst output in any quarter.

Heat 123, Hornets 91: At Miami, Luol Deng scored 31 points on 11-

for-13 shooting, Hassan Whiteside added 21 points and 11 rebounds in his postseason debut, and Miami routed Charlotte in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference series.

Dwyane Wade scored 16 points in 26 minutes, Joe Johnson and Amare Stoudemire each had 11 points, and Goran Dragic finished with 10 assists.

Game 2 is Wednesday night in Miami.

Clippers 115, Trail Blazers 95: At Los Angeles, Chris Paul had 28 points and 11 assists as one of three Clippers with a double-double, leading Los Angeles over Portland in the opener of their first-round playoff series.

Blake Griffin had 19 points and 12 rebounds, DeAndre Jordan added 18 points and 12 rebounds and J.J. Redick had 17 points. The Clippers are 6-0 with Griffin in the lineup since he returned from a 45game absence two weeks ago.

Damian Lillard led the Blazers with 21 points, while backcourt mate CJ McCollum was held to nine points.

Panthers in OT

By The ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK – Thomas Hickey scored 12:31 into overtime to give the New York Islanders a 4-3 victory over the Florida Panthers on Sunday night in Game 3 of their Eastern Conference firstround series.

Hickey scored on a one-timer off a pass from Brock Nelson from behind the net to lift the Islanders to a 2-1 lead in the best-of-seven series.

Game 4 is in Brooklyn on Wednesday night.

Red Wings 2, Lightning 0: At Detroit, Andreas Athanasiou and Henrik Zetterberg scored, Petr Mrazek made 16 saves and Detroit beat Tampa Bay to cut its deficit to 2-1 in the Eastern Conference series.

Game 4 is Tuesday night at Joe Louis Arena.

Game 5, which is now necessary, will be at Tampa Bay. Predators 3, Ducks 2: At Anaheim, California, Craig Smith had a goal and an assist, Pekka Rinne made 27 saves and Nashville confidently claimed their second straight road victory to open their first-round series.

Shea Weber and Mattias Ekholm also scored as the Predators took a 2-0 playoff series lead for the first time in franchise history.

Banquet ‘partner’ vital to fundraiser success SPONSORED BY

A successful fundraiser starts with a vision, a strong committee, a solid goal, creativity and fun.

Trust and confidence in your banquet coordinator and caterer are also keys to success.

31 North Banquets & Catering in McHenry has been involved in McHenry County social and community events for some 35 years, building a stellar reputation first as the Warsaw Inn. 31 North has hosted numerous fundraisers for not-for-profit organizations, schools, churches and individuals.

Behind that success is an honest interest that builds a kind of partnership.

“I enjoy helping organizations that help others in need, whether it’s for a nonprofit organization, the community or an individual. I have a difficult time saying no,” said owner Bernice Zubrzycki.

So she and her event coordinators tune in to the organization’s budget, goals and needs, and instill a creativity and personal touch that helps make the event both fun and successful.

SM-CL0301895

For example, when an organization chose 31 North to host its fundraiser for children with cancer, “I created a menu based on all of the foods I loved as a kid growing up … mac & cheese, hot dogs, grilled cheese sandwiches, chocolate chip cookies, milkshakes … and my weakness: candy. So I created a ‘candy bar’,” she said.

“The room was decorated with balloons and pink and blue up-lighting.

The event was fun and a big success.”

Wine and craft beer-tasting events are big draws, with the growing popularity of craft beers. For fundraiser auctions, 31 North will recommend food station themes like Southwest, Italian, Mediterranean, Southern Fried Cooking or All-American.

Guests can then enjoy themselves and consider spending money to support the cause rather than the dreaded $100-a-plate “rubber chicken dinner,” Zubrzycki said.

“The theme sets the stage for the decorations, invitations and auction items,” Zubrzycki said. “Casual and fun is always a winner.”

ROCKIES 2, CUBS 0

AP photo

Cubs starting pitcher Jon Lester delivers to a Rockies batter in the first inning Sunday at Wrigley Field. The Cubs lost, 2-0.

Only one run counted against Lester (1-1), a home run in the fourth by third baseman Nolan Arenado (six homers), whose second homer of the game in the ninth off Justin Grimm accounted for all of the Rockies’ runs.

In between, Lester struck out 10 in

71/3 innings, walked two – and even gave his team one of its two extra-base hits.

“It’s a tough one,” Lester said of the outcome, with the Cubs getting shut out for the first time since September, and dropping their first series of the season. “I know I threw pretty well,

CHICAGO – Not much is left to fan the Cubs-Cardinals rivalry flames, given how the Cubs amplified things by defeating the National League Central champs in the postseason in October.

But it could get interesting for ex-Cardinals John Lackey, who pitches Monday night’s opening game of the three-game series, and ex-Cardinal outfielder Jason Heyward.

“I don’t know what it’ll be like,” Heyward said. “They can burn the jersey and do whatever they want. We just will play.”

He referred to the actions of some fans who burned a Heyward jersey after the All-Star outfielder signed with the Cubs.

“It’s not good for your children to see things like that,” Cubs manager Joe Maddon said. “Why would you do something like that? I’m sure the real Cardinal fans wanted nothing to do with that.”

Maddon, who grew up a Cardinals fan, likes the intensity of the rivalry – and pushed his team’s competitive but-

tons last season knowing what it takes to defeat a perennial champion.

“Nobody’s going to give you anything, man, and I don’t expect it,” he said. “If you want to ascend, you have to take that. It’s not going to be given to you. I thought last year we didn’t necessarily understand that.

“They’re good and have been for a long time, and they’re not going to relinquish anything.

That was my point. Not to denigrate anyone, it was about us and our ascenJason Heyward sion and how you do it.”

Heyward said not all Cardinals fans have been rough on him.

“Many St. Louis fans I’ve seen have gone out of their way to wish me well and say thanks for last year,” he said.

Bullpen pressure: Maddon always has believed managing the bullpen is a manager’s most critical daily task.

“Those are the guys who are going to control our fate. They are the difference-makers,” he said.

The bullpen has matched the team’s

strong start, with a 2.39 ERA, 27 strikeouts and only five walks in 261/3 innings.

The relief corps has pitched the fourth fewest innings in the majors.

Limiting pitchers’ mental fatigue as much as physical fatigue is vital, Maddon said.

“My first year in the big leagues was as a bullpen coach. I got an appreciation of every time these guys come into a game, something’s going on,” he said.

“They don’t have this opportunity to work their way into it. It’s ‘now.’

“One of the things that isn’t discussed enough is the emotional component, the emotional energy expended daily. They’re in this high-leverage moment all the time, and that can tend to weigh you down, too.

“The fact we have more late-inning guys here, hopefully, will spread the load around.”

Catch ’em: Catcher David Ross threw out Trevor Story attempting to steal second in the first and Gerardo Parra in the second inning. It was the first time he has caught two baserunners since June 22 last year against the Dodgers.

• Monday, April 18, 2016

CHICAGO – The difference in the Jon Lester who debuted with the Cubs last season and the one who has been masterful in his first three starts this year is dramatic.

“I think you see a guy who last year was fighting mechanics and trying to catch up (after dealing with a tired arm in spring training),” catcher David Ross said. “Now he’s confident with where his pitches are at.”

Ross should know, having been Lester’s receiver for two years in Boston before reuniting with him last year here.

But even manager Joe Maddon, who only knew Lester as an American League opponent when he managed in Tampa, sees the difference from last April.

“I thought he did a great job last year, no matter what was going on internally,” Maddon said of the Cubs’ premiere free-agent signee of 2015.

“There’s no question there’s more of a comfort level now.

“I saw a different version of Jon in spring, in a good way. (He was) more relaxed, more understanding of what’s in store. It’s good for him and us.”

Lester might have pitched one of his best games Sunday, albeit ending in a 2-0 loss to the Colorado Rockies.

but a loss is a loss. I didn’t execute one pitch and it cost us.”

Rockies starter Tyler Chatwood (21) was flawless until the fifth, when he walked Jorge Soler then gave up the first Cubs hit to Javier Baez.

Lester’s sixth-inning double was the only other hit off Chatwood, and the Cubs had only one more – a ninth-inning double by Jason Heyward off reliever Jake McGee (third save).

But they did make things tense for McGee, who hit Anthony Rizzo with a pitch to put two men on with two outs and bring Kris Bryant up as the potential winning run.

Bryant, who debuted one year ago to the day, struck out.

“We came ready to play, and that’s all you can ever ask,” Maddon said.

“We’re working good at-bats, and I like the thought process (at the plate). But give the Rockies credit, they pitched really good.

“I want [teams] to come after us,” he added.

Lester lowered his ERA from 2.77 to 2.21 despite the loss.

Compare that to last season’s first three starts when he struggled with a 6.89 ERA. “Any time you spend eight months with these guys, you feel that much more comfortable,” he said. “It makes things easier and you enjoy playing baseball.”

BRIEFS Carl Edwards wins Sprint Cup Series race at Bristol Speedway

BRISTOL, Tenn. – Carl Edwards avoided tire issues that hampered his teammates and took off on the final restart to win the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race Sunday at Bristol Motor Speedway.

Starting on the pole for the second straight week, Edwards led 276 of 500 laps in Joe Gibbs Racing’s No. 19 Toyota en route to his first victory of the season and fourth on the half-mile oval. Dale Earnhardt Jr. was second, followed by Kurt Busch, Chase Elliott and Trevor Bayne.

Edwards’ flawless day contrasted the rightfront tire problems endured by teammates Kyle Busch, Matt Kenseth and Denny Hamlin after all of them started in the top five.

Busch, the defending series champion and points leader, had trouble throughout the race. He exited after his car smacked the wall on Lap 259 and sustained heavy damage, failing to finish a race for the first time since June at Michigan.

Branden Grace wins RBC Heritage for first PGA Tour title

HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. – Branden Grace shot a 5-under-par 66 to overtake Luke Donald and win the RBC Heritage on Sunday for his first PGA Tour title and 11th worldwide victory.

Three shots behind Donald entering the day, Grace moved to the top with four birdies on his first six holes.

The South African pulled three shots in front of Donald after birdies on the 12th and 13th holes.

Grace finished at 9-under 275, two shots ahead of Donald and Russell Knox. Donald shot a 71, and Knox had a 67.

Grace earned $1,062,000 and a PGA Tour exemption through the 2017-18 season. He also became the latest to rally past hardluck leader Donald at Harbour Town Golf Links. The Englishman has finished second four times and third twice in the past eight events here.

RAYS 3, WHITE SOX 2

Run total slightly less than in 2015 through 12 games

By DARLY VAN SCHOUWEN dvanschouwen@suntimes.com

White Sox starter Jose Quintana rubs a baseball after giving up a single in the third inning against the Rays on Sunday in St. Petersburg, Fla. The Sox lost, 3-2. expected to give Jose Abreu the protection he didn’t have last season, is off to a slow start that got worse with four strikeouts in Sunday’s 3-2 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays.

“It’s been a rough stretch,” Frazier said after the Sox lost two of three to the Rays in a series that saw them score one, two and two runs. “But if

worked for him and served him well,” Sparks said. “There’s a lot of timing to it, and right now he’s just been a little off.

“No panic there whatsoever.”

“You’re looking at a guy who can carry the lineup for a little bit when he gets going,” Ventura said. “Right now, just shorten it up, make contact.”

Frazier’s not along. Austin Jackson is hitting .200, Garcia .184 and the catching tandem of Dioner Navarro (1 for 19) and Alex Avila (3 for 22) is hitting a combined .098. Abreu hasn’t had an extra-base hit in six games.

Melky Cabrera was enjoying a sixgame hitting streak, but Ventura gave him a day off, citing the team’s 19-game stretch without an off day and playing on an artificial surface after a night game. Designated hitter Jerry Sands took Cabrera’s spot behind Frazier in the lineup and struck out three times before Cabrera walked as a pinch hitter in the ninth.

That came after Frazier led off the ninth with his fourth strikeout.

“You go out there, you battle your tail off,” Frazier said. “Miss some pitches and swing at bad pitches, and that’s what happens when you struggle.

When you go through a little stretch like this, you have to hit strikes. And if you miss them, you can’t be swinging out of the zone.”

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – The eye test shows the White Sox playing better defense, and the metrics agree.

And that makes Sox pitching coach Don Cooper the most appreciative man in the room.

“Oh man,” Cooper said. “It’s huge.”

Cooper’s pitchers, aside from fifth starter John Danks’ two rough performances, have carried the Sox to an 8-4 start. It hasn’t hurt that the three new infielders, two outfielders – counting a position switch by Adam Eaton – and two new catchers have been better than average, according to FanGraphs, which ranked the Sox seventh in the majors in defensive runs saved before Sunday.

Last season they were 28th.

Cooper is more than pleased with how his pitchers have transitioned from Tyler Flowers (and Geovany Soto) to Alex Avila and Dioner Navarro behind the plate.

“When a pitching staff is going good,

the first thing you look at is the catchers, and the myth of the new catchers and all that [stuff] is out the window,” Cooper said. “The next thing you look at is the defense behind the pitcher, which has been good.”

What’s also big, Cooper said, is the prep work of bench coach Rick Renteria, Joe McEwing (infielders) and Daryl Boston (outfielders) to help position Sox defenders never has been better.

“We are totally prepared to play every game,” Cooper said. “Research to make sure they’re set up in the best possible position against whoever is hitting against whatever pitcher we have out there. When you have the pitching defense lined up the way it’s been going, [pitchers] are more comfortable saying, ‘I’ll make you hit it.’ It makes pitchers more comfortable knowing the play can be made behind them.”

Cooper said ace Chris Sale, who set the franchise strikeout record in 2015, is a case in point.

“Last year, he put pressure on himself to win on his day, and to get strike-

outs,” Cooper said. “Plus, he knew if he didn’t strike them out they might not catch it.”

The Sox are shifting more than ever, “but it’s not just by the book,” Cooper said. “It’s how guys are swinging it. There’s a lot more into it than you know. And it’s every day that this is happening. We are as prepared as we’ve every been.”

This and that: Jose Quintana suffered his first loss since Aug. 15 against the Cubs, ending a streak of 10 unbeaten starts (3-0 during that stretch). Quintana has allowed two earned runs or less in each of his three starts this season. One unearned run in Sunday’s 3-2 loss was on Quintana, who failed to touch first base on a flip from first baseman Jose Abreu, costing the Sox the decisive. “In that situation, you try to go in a good direction, but I just missed the base,” Quintana said. ... Matt Albers extended his scoreless appearance streak to 26 with a perfect eighth. ... The Sox’s 2.49 team ERA ranks first in the AL, third in the majors.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – Meet the new Sox. Same as the old Sox? Through 12 games, the White Sox have scored 39 runs. Through 12 games last season, they scored 42. That team went on to finish last in the American League in runs and homers, among other categories.

That team was 5-7, though, and this one is 8-4 because of stellar pitching, cleaner defense, some timely hitting and “smarter baseball,” manager Robin Ventura said.

This team, which added Todd Frazier to the middle of the lineup during the offseason and got Adam LaRoche (.207, 12 homers) out of it thanks to an unexpected retirement, figured to be better offensively.

But it’s looking a lot like the same old, same old. Frazier, who hit 35 home runs for the Reds last season and was

you’d tell me we’d be 8-4 right now, I’d say that’s great, good start.”

Ventura tipped his cap to “fantastic” lefty Matt Moore (10 strikeouts in 61/3 innings) and not just to stand up for his players. Moore was really good.

“He had very good command of all his pitches,” said Abreu, who went 0 for 4 to see his average drop to .214.

“Especially inside he was effective.”

Jose Quintana was effective as usual, but he missed first base taking a flip from Abreu on what should have been the third out of the third inning. The Rays scored their third run that turned out to be the difference.

The Sox had five hits, including two

by Brett Lawrie (.304) and RBI singles

by Austin Jackson and Avisail Garcia.

After Moore left, the Rays’ bullpen got eight outs without allowing a hit.

Ventura and first-year assistant hitting coach Greg Sparks suggested hitters might be pressing, although Abreu isn’t seeing it around him, and Frazier said there are “no excuses.”

“Everyone is trying to do their best to get off to a great start,” Sparks said.

“A couple of guys are pressing. We’re not too worried about it. I think they’ll be fine.”

The Sox need Frazier, who has four hits in his past 29 at-bats, to be fine.

“He has his style of hitting that’s

With medicine evolving we are able to now offer patients cutting edge treatment options that are alternatives to joint replacement surgery. The Stem Cell Institute of America offers therapies that are cutting edge treatment ideal for improving joint mobility, reducing joint pain and preventing costly and painful surgeries.

At the Wellness Institute of Illinois we have partnered with Stem Cell Institute of America because our providers understand you or someone you love may have been diagnosed with Arthritis, Degenerative Joint Disease or been told you are bone on bone.

We know that as people are diagnosed with these conditions, common treatments ensue, including OTC medications, prescription drugs, pain killers, physical therapy, injections including cortisone and “roster comb” (Synvisc, Orthovisc…) and even surgery.

As treatments are tried, the benefit and relief from many of these therapies is short lived and other treatment options are provided to take the previous protocol’s place and still temporary results are obtained.

The end result for many of these conditions is major surgery, like a total joint replacement, or live with chronic pain and disability. We have the solution to all these problems and it’s Regenerative Medicine presented by Stem Cell Institute of America.

Stem Cell Institute of America’s protocol uses the healing potential of cells derived from Amniotic and Placental Tissue. This tissue is a rich source of non-immunogenic cells nearly eliminating the risk of rejection or side effects while providing an incredible healing force in your body. Over the span of a few weeks to months, the cells and growth factors assist your bodies ability to repair and regenerate cartilage, ligaments, joint fluid, muscles, tissues and even nerves. This simple in office procedure can have an incredible impact on your function and restore your pain free life.

Regenerative therapy takes advantage of your body’s ability to repair itself, naturally. The army of healing cells is injected to the area by one of our trained practitioners. These procedures are SAFE, ETHICAL and EFFECTIVE at repairing damage and reducing pain while improving your function.
