Good morning, McHenry County ...

Dark day, night for clerk’s office Some Election Night observations ...

• It was not a banner day or night for McHenry County Clerk Mary McClellan. After polls opened Tuesday morning with malfunctioning electronic poll books, resulting in voters being turned away, a court order demanded polls remain open 90 minutes after the 7 p.m. closing time. Except, not all voting judges got the memo. At least one location closed early, and we received reports of at least one other claiming it did not get word to stay open. Oh, did we mention the snails pace at which votes were counted. Again.

• McClellan is next up for election in 2018.

• Maybe Marco Rubio’s time is in four years, when he’s trying to keep Hillary Clinton from a second term.

• Wish I could weigh in on more local elec-

BOIL ORDER LIFTED

WRECKED 1503 SHIP FOUND

In a notice issued Tuesday morning, Lake in the Hills officials lifted a precautionary boil order that had been in effect since Sunday evening.

Tests done on the water determined no sign of contaminants in the water system, which department employees discovered were not working on the east side of the village. Story, page A14.

R-B OPENS SEASON WITH WIN

In both teams’ season openers Tuesday, Richmond-Burton scored four runs in the eighth inning to defeat McHenry, 5-1.

Catcher Mike Wojcik sparked the Rockets’ four-run rally with an RBI double to the warning track, and reliever Jake Moeller finished his second scoreless inning to seal the victory. Story, page B2.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates – The 500-year-old wreckage of Portuguese ship piloted by an uncle of explorer Vasco da Gama has been found off the coast of Oman, archaeologists said Tuesday, a discovery that included the recovery of an incredibly rare coin.

The Esmeralda sank during a violent storm near al-Hallaniyah Island in the Indian Ocean in May 1503, killing commander Vicente Sodre and all those aboard. Beginning in 2013, a team from the British company Blue Water Recoveries and the Oman Ministry of Heritage and Culture explored a site in the island’s Ghubbat ar Rahib Bay. They later determined the debris found there came from the long-missing ship, one of two lost in the storm from da Gama’s second voyage to India.

Kenneally ‘humbled’ to be leading Regna for state’s attorney

By KEVIN P. CRAVER

kcraver@shawmedia.com Patrick Kenneally was headed to a decisive victory Tuesday evening over challenger Dan Regna in a contentious race for the Republican nomination for McHenry County state’s attorney.

Kenneally was leading Regna by a 2-to-1 margin as of press time early Wednesday, with 123 of the county’s 212 precincts reporting.

He had 22,807 votes, or 65.2 percent, compared with 12,155 votes, or 34.8 percent, for Regna. Both candidates sought to succeed State’s Attorney Lou Bianchi, who is not seeking re-election.

Kenneally, an assistant state’s attorney under Bianchi, jumped to that big lead with the first posted returns and never looked back.

He said late Tuesday as his 2-to1 lead held that he was humbled to win the nomination. Election day in McHenry County was plagued with problems from the start, forcing a

90-minute extension of voting hours by court order.

“This was a rough race, but you know, politics is a blood sport. I went into this with my eyes wide open. If the trend keeps up, I’m thrilled to be the nominee for McHenry County

Regna, a former assistant state’s attorney who has spent the past 12 years in private practice, could not be reached for comment early Wednesday.

Both candidates took swipes at each other’s records as prosecutors, and each other’s character, during the race.

Regna made a campaign issue out of a 2010 domestic disturbance call to Kenneally’s home in which Kenneally’s wife called police after a dispute between them had allegedly become physical. Kenneally’s wife stated for the record that he never laid a hand on her, and she brought up a 1998 incident in Woodstock in which Regna’s then-wife broke a window at the home of a woman who worked with Regna at state’s attorney,” Kenneally said. the state’s attorney’s office. The two Bianchi had at first intended to married five years later. seek a fourth four-year term, but Regna accused Kenneally of comwithdrew from the race shortly ing back to the state’s attorney’s ofbefore the end of the filing period. fice for the sole purpose of seeking Kenneally subsequently gathered the signatures to run.

McHENRY COUNTY BOARD CHAIRMAN REPUBLICAN PRIMARY

TOO CLOSE TO CALL

First chairman race had Walkup up by more than 1,000 over Gottemoller

By KEVIN P. CRAVER

kcraver@shawmedia.com The first-ever race for McHenry County Board chairman was too close to call as of press time early Wednesday, thanks to a primary election filled with problems.

With 123 of the county’s 212 precincts reporting, challenger Michael Walkup held a more than 1,000 vote lead over incumbent Joe Gottemoller for the Republican nomination for the office. Walkup, a County Board member like Gottemoller, had 18,043 votes to 16,913 for Michael Gottemoller, or 51.6 perWalkup cent to 48.4 percent. This election is the first in which McHenry County voters are directly electing the chairman. Gottemoller, who has been chairman since 2014, was the last chairman to be chosen by the 24-member County Board – voters in 2014 passed a referendum to end the practice.

Walkup, who also is running for his County Board seat, was poised Wednesday morning to win that as well – he and fellow incumbent Nick Provenzano had clear leads over their two challengers.

Walkup said he is running for both offices so he can continue to vote on board issues, because state law forbids a popularly-elected chairman in a county the size of McHenry’s from voting on anything.

County Board rules revised since the 2014 referendum forbid a chairman who also holds a County Board seat from receiving a salary and benefits beyond that of the chairmanship.

Numerous problems plagued Tuesday’s elections in McHenry County, from faulty equipment to problems with ballots and voters being turned away from some polling places even as they were required under court order to stay open an additional 90 minutes.

The size and makeup of the new County Board when it is seated in December will be decided by the election.

Should Gottemoller win, the board will be 25 members – 24 members and a chairman. He will step down from his current elected seat and board members will appoint a replacement to serve the remaining two years of the term. Should Walkup win, the board will stay at 24 members because he will hold both

This first chairman election was

eight $1,000 donations.

Walkup’s campaign incorporated in January with $2,400 on hand, but received a $10,000 infusion by a single donor, according to Illinois State Board of Elections records.

Walkup has portrayed himself in the election as a something of an opposition candidate representing the board’s anti-establishment minority.

The winner will run unopposed in November for the four-year term, unless the Democratic Party of McHenry County gathers the signatures needed to caucus in a challenger.

State Rep. Mike Tryon, a former McHenry County Board chairman himself, filed legislation earlier this month to prevent candidates in the future from being able to hold both the chairmanship and a board seat simultaneously.

Should it become law, Walkup if he wins both seats cannot legally be removed not one bankrolled by large donations. from either of them, but he would have Gottemoller’s campaign ended 2015 with to choose to run for one or the other $22,800 in the bank and reported a total of should he seek re-election in 2020.

ILLINOIS HOUSE DISTRICT 66 REPUBLICAN PRIMARY

Skillicorn leads 66th House race Fewer than 1,000 votes separate remaining candidates with Serwatka out

By ALLISON GOODRICH

agoodrich@shawmedia.com Based on unofficial results, Allen Skillicorn of East Dundee had a narrow lead of 691 votes against West Dundee resident Dan Wilbrandt in the 66th Illinois House District as of press time.

Results showed Skillicorn had 3,892 of the votes and Wilbrandt followed with 3,201. Coming in third was Crystal Lake resident Carolyn Schofield with 3,006 votes.

The winner will succeed Mike Tryon, who is not seeking a seventh, twoyear term after first being elected in 2004.

Shortly after midnight, Skillicorn said it was still early and that he was excited to watch the remaining results flow in.

“We’re thinking the fact that we’re leading in both counties really sends a message that people are really interested in property tax relief and that they’re standing up to [Speaker of the

House Mike] Madigan.”

The race dropped from four to three after Lakewood resident and trustee Paul Serwatka dropped out, citing an inability to outspend his opponents and his fear of splitting the “fiscal conservative” vote with Skillicorn. As of press deadline, Serwatka had garnered 1,212 votes.

Allen Throughout the Skillicorn race, candidates touted their past records and experience to prove themselves qualified to help handle some of the state’s most pressing issues – the ongoing budget impasse, the unfundDan ed pension liability, and government consolidaWilbrandt tion, to name a few.

“The challenge to righting injustices and advancing the interests of the 66th District requires

reaching beyond gerrymandered boundaries,” Skillicorn said in a Northwest Herald questionnaire. “We need to restore conservative Republican leadership in the ailing suburbs suffering from Chicago Democratic rule.”

Skillicorn has called himself a “committed and effective Republican” and pointed to his Carolyn record working to freeze Schofield the property tax levy as a trustee in East Dundee.

Wilbrandt, a McHenry County assistant state’s attorney, touted his temperament, abilities and connections to the area, while Schofield in a Northwest Herald questionnaire highlighted her record maintaining flat McHenry County property tax levies and creating jobs through supporting business programs.

The race at times presented moments of contention, fueled largely by outside money.

Schofield received endorsement and funding from Tryon, and money from the Illinois Education Association and Republican state Sen. Pam Althoff’s campaign.

Skillicorn’s campaign garnered support from Dan Proft, publisher of the McHenry Times, a political mailer that looks like a newspaper, which ran pro-Skillicorn articles. He also created the Liberty Principles PAC, which funded TV ads for Skillicorn.

Wilbrandt received support from the campaigns of state Rep. Barbara Wheeler, R-Crystal Lake, and from outgoing McHenry County State’s Attorney Lou Bianchi.

The 66th District includes parts of southeastern McHenry and northern Kane counties, including parts of Crystal Lake, Lake in the Hills, Huntley, Algonquin, and Carpentersville.

The winner of Tuesday’s election will run against Democratic opponent Nancy Zettler of Algonquin in the November general election.

McHENRY COUNTY RECORDER REPUBLICAN PRIMARY

Tirio leading Smith, Hill in recorder race

By ALLISON GOODRICH

agoodrich@shawmedia.com Republican Joe Tirio was leading by almost 1,600 votes in the race for McHenry County recorder as of press time early Wednesday.

Unofficial results from the county were still coming in after midnight and showing Tirio, of Woodstock, leading with 13,188 votes.

Crystal Lake resident Joni Smith was following with 11,597, and veteran of the McHenry County Board Tina Hill had gotten 9,679 votes.

“I feel great,” Tirio said about 12:30 a.m. “I’m very grateful for where we are at the moment. I look forward to seeing the full results in the morning.”

The recorder’s office is responsible for recording, maintaining and retrieving documents, including all real estates records, documents, plats of sub-

division in McHenry County, among other items. In total, it has more than 3.4 million records on file.

A bulk of discussion throughout the race has surrounded whether the recorder’s office should be consolidated with the McHenry County Clerk’s Office – an idea brought by Tirio and opposed by both Smith and Hill.

Joe “While the office proTirio vides a number of vital functions to the people, the actual office of recorder is unneeded,” Tirio said in a Northwest Herald questionnaire. “Of the 102 counties in Illinois, 81 of them have integrated recorder functions in the clerk’s office.”

Owner of Monarch Senior Care, an in-home senior care service in Woodstock, Tirio also has called the record-

er’s office “a top-heavy organization,” with too many supervisors.

If his lead stands after all precincts are counted, Tirio said he will “look forward to working with the [McHenry] County Board to reintegrate the recorder into the [McHenry County] clerk’s office, fulfilling my mission to erase the recorder.”

Joni In the newspaper Smith questionnaire, Smith, who currently works as a supervisor in the office, said she supported the idea of government consolidation, but not when it comes to the clerk and recorder offices.

“The current structure of the two offices provides checks and balances for McHenry County residents,” Smith said. “In addition, both offices have

separate and distinct complexities that require concentration of its leadership by two officials.”

Hill expressed similar sentiment, saying a separate office makes sense in a county as big as McHenry County because it is the only department that protects personal property rights.

Eighty percent of Illinois counties have merged county clerk and recorder office because of population – Illinois law requires a minimum of 60,000 residents for a county to have separate elected offices.

In addition to wanting to eliminate the recorder position, Tirio has said his goals are to improve customer service and investigate cost-sharing opportunities. Smith and Hill have said they felt changes such as streamlining the recording process and integrating technological upgrades were necessary.

ILLINOIS SENATE DISTRICT 26 REPUBLICAN PRIMARY

McConchie leading tight race for 26th Senate District

By CAITLIN SWIECA

cswieca@shawmedia.com As of press time, Dan McConchie was leading a tight three-way race to succeed Republican Sen. Dan Duffy in the 26th Illinois Senate District Republican primary.

McConchie unofficially took 35.8 percent of the vote in the district Tuesday evening as of press time, leading Casey Urlacher and Martin McLaughlin.

Urlacher was in second place with 33.7 percent of the vote and McLaughlin had taken 30.5 percent of the vote.

All districts in Cook, Kane and Lake counties had reported, with 71.9 percent of precincts in McHenry County reporting as of press time.

Late Tuesday evening, McConchie said his camp was still “very confident” as it watched election results continue to roll in.

“We feel good. The trends look favorable to us,” McConchie said. “I think as long as there’s not any shenanigans or anything like that, we’ll be able to pull it out.”

The winner of the primary will run unopposed in November unless the Democratic Party gathers the signatures needed to caucus in an opponent.

Duffy, the incumbent, Dan is limiting himself to two McConchie terms in office. Duffy endorsed McConchie in the race.

McConchie, a Hawthorn Woods resident, is vice president of government affairs for Americans United For Life.

He served eight years in the Army National Guard as both an infantryman and a military policeman before a 2007

crash with a hit-and-run driver put him in a wheelchair.

All three candidates in the race emphasized lightening the state’s heavy property tax burden and fixing the public pension system during the campaign.

McConchie also backs Gov. Bruce Rauner’s “Turnaround Agenda” of pro-business reforms to workers’ compensation, tort liability and prevailing wage laws.

If the results hold, McConchie said he would spend the time before taking office helping campaign for other Republicans around the state who would help pass Rauner’s legislation and fight Democratic Speaker of the House Michael Madigan.

“That really is the No. 1 priority right now,” McConchie said.

Urlacher, the mayor of the small town of Mettawa, a former football play-

er and business development director for Englewood Construction Co., was leading the precincts in McHenry County, taking nearly 38 percent of votes in precincts that had reported.

McConchie had 31.5 percent of the county’s votes and McLaughlin, the president of Barrington Hills, received 30.7 percent.

According to the Aldertrack 2016 Illinois Racing Form’s list of total funds per race, the election ranked among the state’s top 10 most expensive at the end of February. All three candidates were collecting donations of $1,000 or more in the weeks leading up to the primary.

The 26th District covers southeastern McHenry and southwestern Lake county and slivers of Kane and Cook counties. It includes all or parts of Crystal Lake, Lake in the Hills, Cary, Fox River Grove, Carpentersville and Barrington.

ILLINOIS HOUSE DISTRICT 63 REPUBLICAN PRIMARY

Reick leads Lichte for right to face Franks

By JORDYN REILAND

jreiland@shawmedia.com Steven Reick was leading over opponent Jeffery Lichte with close to half of the total precincts reported, as of press time.

The winner will face off against long-serving Democratic incumbent Jack Franks in November.

Reick had 8,135 votes, Steven while Lichte Reick had 5,671 with 32 of 73 precincts reporting results.

McHenry County polls were ordered to stay open until 8:30 p.m. after the county experienced voting issues earlier today.

State Rep. Franks has represented the 63rd District since 1999.

The district covers western and northern McHenry County and includes all or parts of Harvard, Hebron, Marengo, Woodstock, Wonder Lake, McHenry and Johnsburg. Franks defeated Reick in 2014, and ran unopposed in this year’s primary.

Because of Lichte’s relatively quiet campaign, Reick focused his efforts on Franks. Reick has pointed to Franks’ willingness to elect House Speaker Michael Madigan into leadership and continue to support his decisions.

According to a Northwest Herald questionnaire, Reick’s priorities include lessening high property taxes by mandating state education funding levels, according to the questionnaire.

C O V E R A G E

WOODSTOCK – Polls in McHenry County were ordered to stay open until 8:30 p.m. today after problems with the electronic poll books in several precincts caused delays for some voters; however, voters at two locations said election judges were not made aware of the change.

McHenry County Clerk Mary McClellan said the polls were allowed to stay open until 8:30 p.m. — an extra 90 minutes — after an emergency court order was granted.

Mike Dayton of Crystal Lake said he tried to vote at Bethany Lutheran Church in Crystal Lake for Algonquin Precinct 10 about 7:05 p.m. and was turned away along with others. Three voters who stayed at the church to find out if they would be allowed to vote were eventually allowed to cast ballots about 7:45 p.m. after initially being told they might have to vote at another location.

Chris Kubacki of Crystal Lake, the technical judge at that church, said the workers at the station received no official word they were supposed to stay open past 7 p.m., and the clerk’s office did not return multiple calls.

Brice Alt, one of the voters who stayed and voted, said he arrived just after 7 p.m. after seeing news reports about the voting extension. He estimated about 10 other people seeking to vote left when workers closed the poll.

Leslie Ross was a technical judge at Immanuel Lutheran Church for Algonquin precinct 2 and said she also was never notified about the extension.

Kathy Reiland said people coming to vote at Holiday Hills Village Hall for Nunda Precinct 12 had similar problems.

Additionally, a news alert sent by the village of Johnsburg to residents Mary said a referendum about McClellan a proposed sales tax was not on the ballot for some voters. At 7:45 p.m., McClellan said all polling places were informed of the court order, and she had not had reports that polling places were closing early.

She estimated the electronic books used to check voters in were not working in fewer than a dozen polling places when the polls opened at 6 a.m. However, the problems were sprinkled throughout

the county at select locations in Algonquin, Chemung, Dorr, Dunham, Grafton, McHenry and Nunda townships.

She said the machines had been tested and worked fine for the 11,000 voters who checked in on them through the close of early voting Monday.

“But it obviously failed to some extent,” McClellan said.

In her court petition, McClellan said she had heard from election judges, citizens and candidates that technical difficulties had caused voters not to be able to vote for an unknown amount of time.

Election judges were checking people in manually for more than an hour as primary voting got underway. McClellan stressed the problem was only with the electronic polling books that verify voter registration, not machines used to count votes.

Earlier in the day, Algonquin Township voter Linda Keyes said when she went to cast her ballot about 7:20 a.m. at Jacobs High School, 2601 Bunker Hill Drive, Algonquin, she encountered black screens on the poll books.

Another problem voters in Lake in the Hills and Grafton Township reported was receiving only a federal ballot.

22ND CIRCUIT JUDGE REPUBLICAN PRIMARY

Cowlin holds lead for judge seat

By HANNAH PROKOP

hprokop@shawmedia.com James Cowlin has appeared to hold his position as McHenry County 22nd Judicial Circuit judge, defeating his challenger, Assistant State’s Attorney Demetri Tsilimigras, according to unofficial election results at press time.

Cowlin had about 61 percent of votes and Tsilimigras had about 39 percent, according to preliminary results at press time. One hundred twenty-three of 212 precincts had been reported.

“We worked hard in the campaign,” Cowlin said. “We ran an honest campaign. I’m proud of that. And I’m certainly delighted that the voters agreed with me and asked me to continue on.”

Cowlin, 59, was officially sworn in as the 22nd Judicial Circuit Judge in September after the Illinois Supreme Court

appointed him to fill the remainder of retired Judge Gordon Graham’s term.

Cowlin had been an associate judge since 2007.

Cowlin is a third-generation McHenry County judge and Crystal Lake resident. He was a lawyer from 1982 to 2007.

“I think the fact that I’ve got eight years experience under my belt certainly helps me and has prepared me for my role as a circuit judge,” Cowlin said.

Tsilimigras, 45, has James been the deputy chief of Cowlin the McHenry County State’s Attorney’s Office Criminal Division for eight years.

Tsilimigras, of Cary, had previously worked as an assistant state’s attorney in Kane County.

Both support implementing cameras in the courtroom with some safeguards.

Cowlin said he is in favor as long as there are set policies that protect jurors, minors and public safety concerns.

Likewise, Tsilimigras said trial judges should have authority over video and audio recordings.

To improve courtroom efficiencies, Tsilimigras called for case management orders and deadlines on every case.

Cowlin said a judge should set the tone early on in the case by holding case management conferences.

“I want to continue to work hard for the residents of McHenry County, and I would make that pledge that I would continue to give them my best,” Cowlin said.

Cowlin faces an uncontested race in the November election unless Democrats caucus in a candidate. The term is for six years.

REFERENDUM ROUNDUP

Fire district tax rejected

By CAITLIN SWIECA

cswieca@shawmedia.com The Algonquin-Lake in the Hills Fire District likely will have to go without a boost in tax revenue based on the early voting results in a referendum to add a 0.1 percent emergency and rescue tax.

As of press time, 53.3 percent of voters said “no” to the measure, which would have added about $61 to the tax bill of an owner of a $200,000 home who takes the homestead exemption. Six McHenry County precincts had yet to report.

Officials contend the district needed the extra $900,000 to keep balancing the district’s budget after it added costs from the Affordable Care Act and lost revenue it had previously received from commercial fire alarms.

A tax referendum in Johnsburg was in good shape as of press time: 57.7 percent of voters said “yes” to a sales tax increase that would increase from the current sales tax of 7 percent to 7.5 percent.

A letter from Village President Edwin Hettermann to Johnsburg residents said officials added the referendum because the village needs funds to support road resurfacing and other underfunded capital items.

Eight positive tallies separated the voting in a Hebron Township referendum to add a 0.0002 percent item onto Hebron Township residents’ property tax bills to maintain the cemetery for which the township is responsible.

“Yes” votes were cast on 344 ballots, while 336 voters said “no,” as of press time. Officials said the measure will add about $8 to the tax bill of the owner of a $150,000 home.

In Fox Lake, voters split on two referendums, with 69.1 percent of voters rejecting a proposed 1 percent sales tax increase and 58.2 percent voting to incorporate the village into the Fox Lake Fire Protection District’s territory instead of having the village levy for those services and then turn those dollars over to the fire district.

Officials said the rejected tax increase would have raised a little more than a million dollars and gone toward hiring new police officers, resurfacing roads, continuing the village’s facade program for businesses, maintaining the bus service and acquiring land for parks and recreation.

6TH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT PRIMARY

Roskam, Howland to square off

By ERIC SCHELKOPF

eschelkopf@shawmedia.com Incumbent U.S. Rep. Peter Roskam, R-Wheaton, won handily Tuesday over challenger Jay Kinzler of Glen Ellyn to win the Republican nomination for the 6th Congressional District seat.

On the Democratic side, Amanda Howland of Hawthorn Woods easily beat challenger Robert Marshall of Burr Ridge to win the nomination.

Amanda The 6th CongresHowland sional District covers parts of Cook, DuPage, Lake, Kane and McHenry counties.

With most districts reporting Tuesday night, Roskam was leading handily with 69 percent of the vote compared with Kinzler’s 31 percent.

“I’m deeply humbled to receive such overwhelming support from my friends and neighbors,” Roskam said in a statement. “Today’s vote reaffirms my commitment to carry the values of the 6th District to Washington. The great people of the western suburbs have placed their trust in me to represent our common-sense conservative values in our nation’s capital – it’s a responsibility I do not take for granted. Now, as we turn toward November, we must work even harder to make sure we return a conservative majority to Congress to grow our economy and restore America’s leadership in the world.”

Roskam has made a name for himself as chairman of a subcommittee of

Peter Roskam (left) takes a selfie Tuesday night with (left to right) campaign manager Ashley Heacock, her daughters Hannah and Sarah, and Roskam’s wife, Elizabeth, at his headquarters at Klein Creek Golf Club in Winfield. the powerful House Ways and Means Committee tasked with investigating the apparent targeting of conservative groups for increased IRS scrutiny, and his name was whispered as a possible successor to former Speaker John Boehner in the wake of his resignation.

“During the course of my time in Congress, I have a proven track re-

cord of legislative accomplishments,” Roskam previously said. “I have worked with other members, regardless of their political or ideological positions, to advance legislation that is important to the citizens of the 6th District, the state of Illinois, and the nation as a whole.”

Kinzler, who has been a Glen Ellyn

Park District commissioner for six years, could not be reached for comment about the election results. He also served on the Glen Ellyn Environmental Commission for five years.

Howland, an attorney and College of Lake County trustee, captured 67 percent of the vote to Marshall’s 33 percent, according to unofficial results.

Howland said she is looking forward to the upcoming race against Roskam.

“I think it will be an interesting race, and we’ll have to see what happens,” she said. “But I think there are issues that we can do a better job with than he is now.”

Howland said she wants to reform the tax code to minimize loopholes that allow the wealthy to avoid taxes and as a college trustee, will prioritize solving the problem of excessive student debt.

She supports improving the job climate by fixing laws she said encourage businesses to send jobs overseas or keep profits abroad to avoid taxes, but also said Congress needs to embrace more fiscal discipline to promote job growth.

She also supports leveling the playing field when it comes to the tariffs charged to American exports, but notes previous trade pacts promised new jobs and better opportunities for American workers, but failed to deliver on them.

Marshall, a physician and Vietnam War veteran, said the primary results were “a little bit disappointing.” During the campaign, he supported relocating the U.S. capital from Washington to central Illinois, which he said would create “hundreds of thousands of jobs.”

14TH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY

Walz holds late lead with Hultgren on horizon

By BRENDA SCHORY

bschory@shawmedia.com Jim Walz of Gurnee was ahead late in Tuesday’s three-way Democratic primary in the 14th Congressional District, with 43 percent of the vote in unofficial and incomplete results.

Walz ran against John Hosta of Spring Grove, who had 38 percent, and Jesse Lee Maggitt of Plainfield, who had 19 percent, also in unofficial and incomplete results. Nearly 300 of 465 precincts were accounted for.

The winner will face incumbent U.S.

Rep. Randy Hultgren, R-Plano, in the Nov. 8 general election. Hultgren ran unopposed in the primary.

“There is a long way to go,” Walz said late Tuesday. “I certainly want to be victorious, but I am no way in a position to say anything. Jim ... But I am heartened Walz by the voter turnout for the party, and I think that that’s a very good thing.”

Maggitt was undaunted by being

in third place, saying his purpose in running was a means to help unite the Democratic Party “so we can be put on the path of doing some great things.”

“I am the new guy on the ticket, but I am not short on experience,” Maggitt said. “I will go Randy back and meet with DemHultgren ocratic Party chairmen of each county and get an idea of their strategies for uniting the party at their level. It’s imperative that we are fo-

cused on creating balance in Congress.”

Hosta did not immediately return a voicemail message seeking comment.

All three had said earlier that any of them could do a better job in Congress than the incumbent.

Walz, a Warren Township school board member, had said he was running because “the middle class is woefully unrepresented in Washington to the point that we are not represented at all. And it seems like the moneyed interests get any and all of the attention, and that does not seem to be quite right to me.”

Trump, Clinton win Ill.; Rubio drops out

By JULIE PACE and THOMAS BEAUMONT The Associated Press

CLEVELAND – Hillary Clinton triumphed Tuesday in the Florida, Ohio, North Carolina and Illinois presidential primaries, putting her in a commanding position to become the first woman in U.S. history to win a major-party nomination. Donald Trump strengthened his hand in the Republican race with a big win in Florida but fell in Ohio to that state’s governor, John Kasich.

Florida Sen. Marco Rubio ended his once-promising campaign after his devastating home-state loss, so the GOP primary is now down to three candidates: Trump, Kasich and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz.

Trump also picked up wins in North Carolina and Illinois, and was locked in a close race with Cruz in Missouri.

The billionaire businessman told a victory rally, “This was an amazing night.”

Trump is the only Republican candidate with a realistic path to the 1,237 delegates needed to clinch the nomination before the July convention. But his loss in Ohio kept hope alive for mainstream Republicans dismayed by his candidacy and suggesting the real estate mogul can still be stopped in a convention fight.

“The campaign goes on,” Kasich declared at a victory rally. Now thrust into the center of a campaign that has

been bitingly personal, Kasich vowed to “not take the low road to the highest office in the land.”

A confident Clinton pivoted quickly to November during her victory rally, assailing Trump’s hardline immigration positions and support for torture.

“Our commander-in-chief has to be able to defend our country, not embarrass it,” she declared.

Underscoring Republican concerns about Trump, Rubio focused heavily on an implicit critique of Trump in a Marco Rubio speech announcing he was dropping out of the race. The senator urged Americans to “not give in to the fear, do not give in to the frustration.”

A favorite of Republican leaders, Rubio is the latest candidate to fall victim to an unpredictable election cycle and Trump’s unmatched ability to tap into the public’s anger with Washington and frustration with sweeping economic changes.

Clinton’s victories in Ohio, Florida and Illinois were blows to rival Bernie Sanders and bolstered her argument that she’s the best Democratic candidate to take on the eventual Republican nominee in the general election.

Her win in Ohio was a particular relief for her campaign, which grew anxious after Sanders pulled off a surprising win last week in Michigan, another im-

portant Midwestern state.

Clinton kept up her large margins with black voters, a crucial group for Democrats in the general election.

Democratic voters were more likely to describe Sanders as honest, but more likely to describe Clinton’s policies as realistic, according to exit polls.

Campaigning Tuesday in North Carolina, Clinton said “the numbers are adding up in my favor.” She signaled an eagerness to move on to a possible general John Kasich election showdown with Trump, saying he’s laid out a “really dangerous path” for the country.

Votes were also being counted Tuesday in Missouri, though races in both parties were too close to call.

Bernie Trump entered TuesSanders day’s primaries embroiled in one of the biggest controversies of his contentious campaign.

The GOP front-runner has encouraged supporters to confront protesters at his events and is now facing accusations of encouraging violence after skirmishes at a rally last week in Chicago.

The atmosphere at his events has deepened the concern over his candidacy in some Republican circles. Rubio and Kasich have suggested they might not be able to support Trump if he’s the

nominee, an extraordinary stance for intraparty rivals.

His closest competition so far has come from Cruz, who has kept relatively close to the businessman in the delegate count and has been urging other candidates to drop out so he can take Trump on one-on-one.

After another good night for Trump, some Republicans were struggling to come to grips with the prospect of him becoming the nominee and desperate to find long-shot ways to stop him.

A group of conservatives planned to meet Thursday to discuss options including a contested convention or by rallying around a third-party candidate. While no such candidate has been identified, meeting participants planned to discuss ballot access issues, including using an existing third party as a vehicle or securing signatures for an independent bid.

House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., did not rule out the idea of being drafted by the party at the convention.

“People say, ‘What about the contested convention?’” Ryan said in an interview with CNBC. “I say, well, there are a lot of people running for president. We’ll see. Who knows?”

Despite concerns from party leaders, Republican voters continue to back Trump’s most controversial proposals, with two-thirds of those who participated in GOP primaries Tuesday saying they support temporarily banning Muslims from the United States.

U.S. SENATE PRIMARY

Kirk, Duckworth win nominations

By SARA BURNETT

The Associated Press

CHICAGO – U.S. Rep. Tammy Duckworth won the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate on Tuesday, making official a matchup with Republican U.S. Sen. Mark Kirk that’s been informally underway for months.

The already-contentious race is expected to be one of the costliest and hardest fought of the November election.

Democrats see Kirk’s seat in this typically blue state as one of the party’s best chances to unseat an incumbent as they try to regain control of the U.S. Senate.

Duckworth used big advantages in fundraising and name recognition to defeat former Chicago Urban League CEO Andrea Zopp and Napoleon Harris, a state senator and former NFL player from Harvey who owns several suburban Chicago pizza restaurants.

Zopp, of Chicago, went after Duckworth particularly hard in Mark Kirk recent weeks, saying she had little to show for two terms in Congress and criticizing her for not participating in more than one televised debate.

Both she and Harris, who are African-American, also argued they would do more to reduce gun violence, improve the criminal justice system and bring jobs to struggling neighborhoods.

Duckworth kept her focus squarely on Kirk, who is seeking his second Senate term after five terms representing Chicago’s northern suburbs in the U.S. House.

She blasted him again Tuesday, accusing Kirk – who recently said he’ll support billionaire presidential candidate Donald Trump if he’s the GOP’s nominee – of embracing Trump and his “fear mongering.” She also said she ap-

preciated what her primary opponents brought to the race.

“At the end of the day what’s most important is that Illinois Democrats are working together to beat Mark Kirk, to deprive (Senate Majority Leader) Mitch McConnell of another vote, and to take back the Senate,” Duckworth said.

Kirk, of Highland Park, defeated Oswego businessman James Marter on Tuesday after a primary in which the little-known candidate presented himself as the more conservative option.

“I really am honored to have the backing of my fellow Republicans from this state to carry the banner and make sure we beat Tammy Duckworth in November,” Kirk said Tuesday night.

He said he expects the race to focus heavily on national security issues such as how to contain the Islamic State group and the nuclear deal with Iran.

Duckworth has Tammy said she supports allowing 200,000 Duckworth refugees – including 100,000 from Syria – into the U.S., a number much higher than President Barack Obama has supported. Kirk’s campaign has called that position “naive.” He wants to prohibit any refugees from entering the country until federal authorities can guarantee they do not pose a threat.

Kirk also was a vocal critic of Obama’s nuclear deal with Iran, which Duckworth supported.

Both Kirk and Duckworth have made compelling personal stories part of their campaign.

Kirk suffered a near-fatal stroke in 2012, but returned to work in Washington a year later following intense rehabilitation. Duckworth, who grew up poor and attended college with help from federal grants, lost both legs after the helicopter she was co-piloting was shot down in Iraq.

‘‘ ‘‘ I really am honored to have the backing of my fellow Republicans from this state to carry the banner and make sure we beat Tammy Duckworth in November.”

At the end of the day what’s most important is that Illinois Democrats are working together to beat Mark Kirk ... and to take back the Senate.”

LAKE IN THE HILLS – The village of Lake in the Hills on Tuesday lifted the precautionary boil order that had been in place since Sunday evening.

In a notice issued about 10 a.m., officials said residents could resume normal water use after laboratory test results showed no signs of contaminants in the water system.

Residents east of Crystal Lake Road were told Sunday they needed to boil their water after water department employees discovered pumps on the east side of the village were not working.

Lake in the Hills police in a Facebook post said village staff would hand deliver notices to residents regarding the boil order being lifted.

BRIEFS Booker Prize winning novelist Anita Brookner dies at 87

LONDON – Anita Brookner, a Booker Prize-winning novelist who explored the emotional undercurrents of quiet lives, has died at 87. A death notice in Tuesday’s edition of The Times newspaper said Brookner died peacefully in her sleep on Thursday.

Born in London in 1928, the only child of Polish Jewish parents, Brookner began her career as an art historian – specializing in French art – and was the first woman to be named Slade Professor of Fine Art at Cambridge University.

She published her first novel, “A Start in Life,” when she was in her early 50s and went on to write some 25 works of fiction.

She won the Booker Prize, Britain’s leading literary award, in 1984 for “Hotel Du Lac,” the story of an isolated writer adrift on the shore of Lake Geneva. It was later adapted into a BBC TV miniseries.

LOS ANGELES – A pioneer of public test-screenings for Hollywood studio films, veteran movie marketer Richard Del

the office, which Kenneally denied.

Kenneally portrayed Regna as an outof-practice attorney who hadn’t tried a criminal case in more than a decade, did not maintain a law office and did not carry malpractice insurance.

“I don’t think any of that stuff at the end of the day hurts or helps anyone.

Fundamentally, what this campaign came down to was answering the central question … who is the most qualified and experienced candidate to run the McHenry County State’s Attorney’s Office to maintain and advance the safety and prosperity of the community?”

Kenneally said.

Kenneally had a significant fundraising advantage in the months before the election, according to Illinois State Board of Elections records.

While Regna reported only two con-

tributions greater than $1,000 this year – both from the same donor – Kenneally in 2016 had almost 20 donors kick in a total of $47,300.

Kenneally ended 2015 with $37,906 after spending $17,694 in the final quarter. Regna ended 2015 with $83 – his campaign had a $61,840 war chest that was spent down. If he wins, Kenneally will run unopposed in the Nov. 8 election unless the Democratic Party caucuses in a challenger.

Regna worked as an assistant state’s attorney under former state’s attorney Gary Pack. He left the office when Bianchi was first elected in 2004, and unsuccessfully ran against Bianchi in 2008.

Regna, after his defeat in the GOP primary, was a figure in the investigation that led to the indictment alleging Bianchi conducted political activities on taxpayer time. Regna filed one of the requests that a special prosecutor be appointed. Bianchi was found innocent and cleared of all charges.

Baby born, dies in dorm room at University of Illinois

CHAMPAIGN – University of Illinois police said they are investigating the birth and death of a baby in a campus dormitory.

CHICAGO – GE has announced plans to create 160 Chicago-area jobs focused on digital advancements in transportation and health care.

General Electric Co. announced Tuesday the selection of Chicago for the lead office of GE Transportation’s Digital Solutions business, which will employ 100. GE also will create 60 jobs in its digital health care business in suburban Barrington.

Volunteers repair cemetery damaged by rally attendees

BLOOMINGTON – Landscaping crews and private citizens are volunteering to help repair a Bloomington cemetery damaged by motorists attending a rally for Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.

The Trump rally on Sunday at the Synergy Flight Center was across the street from East Lawn Memorial Gardens. More than 3,000 people attended the rally.

Cemetery general manager Jim Hough told the Pantagraph that at least three headstones were damaged, and tire tracks covered dozens of others.

Local firefighters, landscapers and other volunteers have come out since

turned fire, fatally injuring Harris.

One officer was shot in the back, another in the foot and a third in the chest, authorities said, adding his body armor likely deflected the bullet.

A gun used by the dead suspect was recovered at the scene, authorities said.

In a statement, police officials said Harris has 43 arrests on his record, 11 of them felonies.

He was convicted of five felony charges, the latest being aggravated unlawful use of a weapon and resisting a peace officer, causing injury, in January 2012.

The woman was arrested Monday night but has not been charged, Guglielmi said.

Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Interim Police Superintendent John Escalante visited the officers and their families at the hospital.

The shooting follows the mortal wounding of an undercover narcotics officer in Maryland who was shot by a colleague as a gunman attacked a police station Sunday night.

Police said in a statement that the city’s Independent Police Review Authorities will investigate the shooting.

The officers involved will be put on administrative duties for 30 days.

Sunday to help repair the damage.

Hough said they “are going to replace everything and get it back to normal.”

Driver services facility in Wheaton set to close

WHEATON – A driver services facility located in downtown Wheaton will close next week after the state failed to pay rent on the building for more than six months.

The secretary of state’s office has confirmed that 138 driver services facilities stopped receiving rent payments in July because of an ongoing stalemate in the Legislature over Illinois’ budget. According to a spokesman from the office, the Wheaton location is the first to shut down due to rent not being paid on time.

The Daily Herald reported that the facility has been in operation since the late 1990s and serves about 9,000 people per month. The nine employees who work at the facility will be reassigned to other locations.

House conservatives reject budget plan

By ANDREW TAYLOR The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – Dealing an embarrassing setback to House Speaker Paul Ryan, tea party conservatives are blocking a leadership-backed budget plan as the candidacy of GOP front-runner Donald Trump stokes anxiety among congressional Republicans facing an angry, anti-Washington electorate.

The move by the House Freedom Caucus, the same band of conservatives that toppled Ryan’s predecessor, John Boehner, would mean that the House would fail to pass a budget for the first time since Republicans reclaimed control of the chamber in 2011. For years, the GOP attacked Senate Democrats for the same failure.

Ryan, R-Wis., cited “all of the anxiety that’s coming to a crescendo in this country” for the reluctance of conservatives to endorse the budget plan, which calls for higher agency operating budgets as agreed to in last year’s budget deal with President Barack Obama.

The fiscal blueprint, released Tuesday

by Budget Committee Chairman Tom Price, R-Ga., relies on eliminating health care subsidies and other coverage provided by Obama’s health care law, sharp cuts to Medicaid, and reprises a plan devised by Ryan years ago that would transform Medicare into a voucher-like program for future retirees. A deteriorating fiscal picture required Price to propose deeper cuts than ever before.

The annual budget debate gives lawmakers of all stripes a chance to weigh in on the nation’s fiscal woes. The government borrows about 16 cents of every dollar it spends and faces a potential debt crisis at some point if Washington’s warring factions don’t address the problem.

As in past years, GOP leaders have no plans to implement the severe cuts recommended by the nonbinding blueprint. Instead, the main goal of the budget is to set in motion the annual appropriations process, in which the 12 spending bills that set agency operating budgets are produced. That’s the $1.1 trillion “discretionary” portion of the $4 trillion-plus federal budget that is passed by Congress each year.

Many conservatives oppose the additional $46 billion or so in higher spending that the deal with Obama permits for the upcoming round of appropriations bills for fiscal 2017 starting Oct. 1; it comes on top of about $66 billion in higher spending for the ongoing budget year.

In sum, conservatives are tired that sweeping budget cuts are never implemented while Obama prevails on more money for agency operating budgets. A plan to advance real spend-

“We’re the body of government that’s closest to the people. We’re up for election every other year.

And there’s just a lot of anxiety that’s out there.”

Paul Ryan

House speaker, R-Wis. ing cuts along with the nonbinding budget targets didn’t win over many tea party converts, in part because it’s plain the cuts wouldn’t make it through the Senate.

“There are a number of us struggling with it,” said Rep. Mark Sanford, R-S.C. “Savings that are an illusion are not savings.”

The debate comes as outsider presidential candidates such as Trump and Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas are roiling the GOP electorate with an anti-Washington message. Approval ratings for lawmakers remain near all-time lows, and many conservatives fear casting House votes that could alienate the ardent conservatives who dominate the Republican Party.

“We’re the body of government that’s closest to the people. We’re up for election every other year,” Ryan said. “And there’s just a lot of anxiety that’s out there.”

The Freedom Caucus announced Monday night that it won’t support the budget measure. The move by the bloc of about three dozen conservatives reflects enduring opposition from tea party lawmakers to budget and debt deals with Obama.

“House leadership has continually asked the Republican conference to support President Obama’s budget levels, even though the national debt passed the $19 trillion mark in January,” a Freedom Caucus statement said.

Although Republicans have a sweeping majority in the House – 246 to 188 – the loss of about 20 of those conservatives would make it impossible to pass a budget. Every Democrat is sure to oppose the measure.

Price is nonetheless pressing ahead with a panel vote Wednesday on the 10-year measure, which relies on huge spending cuts – $6.5 trillion over the coming decade – to demonstrate that the budget can be balanced.

“Surrendering to the status quo or failing to act boldly will mean Americans today and in the future will have less opportunity and less security,” Price said in a statement.

Democrats blasted the measure for proposing cuts deeper than any of their prior plans.

U.S. bars Atlantic Coast oil drilling Obama building legacy on environmental issues

By MATTHEW DALY The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – In a major reversal, the Obama administration said Tuesday it will bar oil drilling off America’s Atlantic Coast, a move cheered by environmentalists and consistent with the president’s aggressive steps to combat climate change.

Interior Secretary Sally Jewell said the decision “protects the Atlantic for future generations.” She said the administration had listened to thousands of people in coastal communities from Florida to New England who said, “Now is not the time to start leasing off the Atlantic Coast.”

However, business groups and most Republicans criticized it as another example of what they call executive overreach.

Despite a surge in oil and natural gas production in the past seven years that has helped push gasoline prices below $2 a gallon, Republicans and industry groups have criticized President Barack Obama for imposing what they say are unnecessary regulations on drilling, especially on federal lands.

Most of the drilling boom has occurred on state and private lands and in the Gulf of Mexico, long the center of U.S. offshore oil production.

The decision reverses a proposal made last year in which the administration floated a plan that would have opened up a broad swath of the Atlantic Coast to drilling. That January 2015 proposal would have opened up sites more than 50 miles off Virginia, North

and South Carolina and Georgia to oil drilling no earlier than 2021.

Obama, in his final year in office, is working to build an environmental legacy that includes a global agreement to curb climate change and an ambitious plan to reduce carbon pollution from coal-fired power plants. He also has imposed stricter limits on smog-causing pollution linked to asthma and has rejected the Keystone XL oil pipeline Barack from Canada.

Obama The proposal on Atlantic drilling is likely to become an issue in the 2016 presidential campaign.

Both Democratic candidates oppose it, while Republicans vow to expand drilling.

The plan announced Tuesday covers potential lease sales from 2017 to

2022 and calls for leasing 10 areas in the Gulf and three off the Alaska coast.

A coalition of groups that oppose Atlantic drilling had organized protests and petitions in southeastern and mid-Atlantic states, often running into opposition from governors and other political leaders.

Republican governors in North and South Carolina back drilling off their states’ coasts, as does the Democratic governor of Virginia. The state’s two Democratic senators also support drilling.

“President Obama has taken a giant step for our oceans, for coastal economies and for mitigating climate change,” said Jacqueline Savitz, vice president of Oceana, an environmental group. “This is a victory for people over politics and shows the importance of old-fashioned grass-roots organizing.”

Ex-officials point fingers at Flint water hearing

By RICHARD LARDNER and MATTHEW DALY The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – Former city and federal officials pointed fingers at one another for failing to protect the 100,000 citizens of Flint, Michigan, from leadlaced water at a congressional hearing Tuesday as Republicans targeted for blame an Environmental Protection Agency executive who resigned as the crisis worsened.

Amid withering criticism, Susan Hedman sought to defend the EPA’s actions to deal with the contamination in the predominantly African-American city. “I don’t think anyone at EPA did anything wrong, but I do believe we could have done more,” said Hedman, the former director of the EPA’s Midwest regional office.

Hedman stepped down Feb. 1 over what she called “false allegations” that portrayed her as sitting on the sidelines during the crisis and that she “downplayed concerns raised by an EPA scientist about lead in the water.”

The scientist Hedman was referring to is Miguel Del Toral, a regulations manager in the groundwater and drinking water branch of the Midwest office.

Hedman denied the EPA had disciplined Del Toral, who had warned of dangerously high levels of lead in a June 2015 memo and later criticized the agency for not taking swift action.

Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, said Hedman “dismissed” Del Toral’s warnings.

Chairman Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, holds up EPA emails as former Flint, Mich., Emergency Manager Darnell Earley, former state EPA administrator Susan Hedman, former Flint Mayor Dayne Walling and Virginia Tech environmental engineering professor Marc Edwards testify before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee on Tuesday in Washington, D.C. “You screwed up and you ruined people’s lives,” Chaffetz told Hedman.

Flint switched its water source from Detroit’s water system to the Flint River in 2014 to save money, but the river water was not treated properly and lead from aging pipes leached into Flint homes and businesses. Elevated levels of lead have been found in children’s blood. Lead contamination has been linked to learning disabilities and other problems.

The chain of events has spurred calls for Republican Gov. Rick Snyder

to resign amid outrage over the treatment of the people of Flint. A longshot recall effort is under way in Michigan for Snyder, who has been widely blamed in Michigan and nationally for the crisis.

The governor is scheduled to appear before the committee on Thursday, along with EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy.

Virginia Tech professor Marc Edwards, who helped expose the lead problem in Flint’s water and is now assisting both the city and state, accused

Hedman and the EPA of “willful blindness” and for being unrepentant and unremorseful in the aftermath of the crisis.

The committee’s top Democrat, Rep. Elijah Cummings of Maryland, said he agreed the EPA could have done more.

But Cummings said state authorities in Michigan also failed to act.

The committee released several internal EPA emails, including a Sept. 22 message from Del Toral to his supervisors that outlined his frustration with what he called the agency’s “denial and delay” approach in Flint.

“At every stage of this process, it seems that we spend more time trying to maintain state/local relationships than we do trying to protect the children,” Del Toral wrote.

Hedman told the committee that she first learned that Flint was not implementing corrosion control treatment in late June 2015. That was about 14 months after the city started using Flint River water that was not treated with orthophosphate, a chemical used for corrosion control, she says.

Choking up at one point, Hedman said that although she has left government service she has not stopped thinking about the people of Flint.

The EPA responded within the “cooperative federalism framework” of the Safe Drinking Water Act, Hedman testified, which assigns states the legal authority to implement drinking water regulations. She said the EPA’s enforcement options under the law are more constrained than in other federal environmental statutes.

ANOTHER VIEW

Congress pads military budget It’s as much a springtime tradition in Washington as the White House Easter Egg Roll, though not nearly as edifying: As Congress takes up the Defense Department’s budget request, lawmakers scramble to add ships, tanks and planes the military hasn’t even asked for.

This year, however, taxpayers have been promised change – and it’s easy to test how serious Congress is.

The chairmen of the House and Senate Armed Services Committees, Rep. Mac Thornberry of Texas and Sen. John McCain of Arizona, have pledged to rein in runaway defense spending.

There are plenty of pet projects lawmakers want to add to the military’s 2017 budget, but three stand out: • Buying three new littoral combat ships rather than the two the military has requested, wiping out hundreds of millions in planned savings.

• Allocating money to a special fund that would allow the Navy to build the next-generation nuclear-armed submarine without dipping into its ordinary shipbuilding budget.

• Building 10 new Virginia-class attack submarines, which cost around $2.5 billion each, instead of the nine the military requested over a five-year period.

All of these proposals have two things in common. First, their supporters say they’re critical to national defense. Second, they bring federal money to their supporters’ districts. In most cases, that first claim is simply untrue. Even when it isn’t, it doesn’t necessarily follow that the project should be approved. The littoral combat ships, for example, have been a contracting disaster, vastly over cost and underperforming.

The fund would just rob Peter (the Army and Air Force) to pay Paul (the Navy). There are far better ways to free up money for the next-generation nuclear-armed submarine.

The most defensible project is probably the Virginia, the world’s best conventionally armed attack sub. It’s a central part of U.S. efforts to counter Chinese expansionism in the Pacific. The Navy eventually will get up to 48 of the Virginia subs, but there’s no pressing security reason to add another to the next batch. Which goes to the larger point: This kind of budgeting process does even worthy projects no favors.

As they consider the Pentagon’s budget, members of Congress should bear in mind a country stays powerful by spending wisely. Further padding a military budget already at $600 billion may be politically advantageous for lawmakers. But it won’t make Americans safer.

ANOTHER VIEW

Europe’s refugee dilemma grows Europe’s latest, desperate plan to stop the uncontrolled flow of refugees across its borders prompted Austria’s interior minister to ask, “Are we throwing our values overboard?” The simplest answer is yes: A draft bargain struck by the European Union with Turkey could lead to the deportation of thousands of asylum seekers in violation of international treaties, while empowering autocratic Turkish strongman Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

Unfortunately, the most likely alternatives to the plan would do even more violence to human rights principles. In that sense, the Turkish deal is a last-ditch effort by the continent’s beleaguered pro-humanitarian forces, led by German Chancellor Angela Merkel. Its goal is to stop the refugee flows while still providing a European harbor to some of Syria’s displaced civilians. If it fails, the winners will be the parties of intolerance that have risen as the

crisis has swelled.

Unfortunately, that looks like an all-too-possible outcome.

Merkel is counting on Erdogan to interdict the smugglers transporting refugees across the Aegean Sea to Greece and take back any who manage to arrive there. In exchange, the European Union will provide $6.6 billion in subsidies for Turkey’s handling of the more than 2 million refugees on its soil, move to grant Turks visa-free access to the union’s 28 states by June and reopen negotiations on Turkey’s accession to the European Union.

The bargain provides that the European Union would accept, from Turkish refugee camps, a number of asylum seekers equal to those returned from the continent to Turkey. Ideally, that could end the smuggling business – which has led to the deaths of hundreds of refugees already this year – while providing a safe home to thousands through an

orderly process.

The potential difficulties, however, are legion. Human rights groups say the summary deportation of refugees to Turkey would violate the Geneva refugee convention, since Turkey does not observe its provisions for Syrians on its territory. A number of EU governments are refusing to accept any refugees from Turkey.

Merkel’s European opponents already have succeeded in using border controls to close the land corridor used by refugees to travel through the Balkans. Her opponents now will aim to stop Syrians from leaving Turkey without either granting some European asylum or removing travel barriers for Turks. So the question Europe faces is not whether the refugee crisis will force it to compromise its values; it is whether it will manage to preserve even a curtailed humanitarian response.

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.

IT’S YOUR WRITE

Discovery makes life worth living

To the Editor: Michael Penkava’s Just Humor Me column March 5 about Einstein’s gravity was a nice respite from politics. The recent detection of gravitational waves from space brought to mind comments I sometimes hear from people enjoying the benefits of 20th century theoretical physics: “What good is it?” and “How will finding the Higgs particle at the supercollider or the Quarks at Fermi Lab benefit us? Answer: “We don’t know.”

Yet. In 1905, Einstein was trying to explain why light did not require a medium for travel as water waves and sound waves do. Einstein’s math showed the rate at which time progresses into the future depends on speed – go faster, time slows down. Ten years later, he showed the rate of time also depends on the strength of gravity – stronger gravity, time slows down.

Time itself varies, nothing wrong with clocks. But of what benefit was this knowledge?

The satellites that accurately allow your GPS to determine your location are in highly elliptical orbits continually

VIEWS Ramesh Ponnuru Kagan’s method is not to amass evidence and then reach a conclusion, but rather to assume Trump’s run must illustrate everything he dislikes about Republican conduct in recent years. But Kagan is far from alone in this fault. Much of the commentary about Trump consists of people finding validation for things they already believed. Usually that validation involves oversimplifying the sources of Trump’s support.

Those whose top concern is tighter control of immigration say that issue is the main reason Trump is winning.

It certainly has contributed to his victories. What has gotten less attention is Trump also has done well among voters who favor giving legal status to illegal immigrants.

Many commentators assure us Trump’s success is all about the economic turmoil of white voters without college degrees and the failure of Republicans to respond adequately to it. Those voters favor Trump at relatively high rates. But Trump also has been doing well among voters with

changing speed and moving in a variable Earth gravity field.

If the algorithms your GPS uses to calculate your location did not incorporate Einstein’s equations for time dilation, there would be an accumulating error of 38 microseconds a day that translates to 6 miles in error a day.

But even if a science discovery seems to have no practical application, it still satisfies our innate, insatiable curiosity about how the universe works and, like music, art and literature, makes life worth living.

Congress and climate change

To the Editor: Thanks to the Northwest Herald for publishing a Bloomberg View editorial that addressed the issue of climate change. Bloomberg said, “The best policy would be to impose a revenue-neutral carbon tax. Yet the current Congress would make this all but impossible.”

Perhaps Bloomberg has not heard of the Gibson Resolution. In September,

college degrees, winning pluralities among them in several states.

Evangelical support for Trump has been discussed widely – but usually without the recognition “Trump has failed to earn a majority of evangelicals in any southern state thus far and a vast super-majority of evangelicals have consistently supported other candidates,” as political scientist Darren Patrick Guerra recently put it.

Another oversimplification holds Trump voters are consumed with anger toward the Republican establishment. This description fits some of them, but overall that sentiment doesn’t seem to be driving support for Trump. In Georgia, which Trump won, most voters in the exit poll said they felt “betrayed” by Republican politicians – but Trump actually performed slightly better among those who disagreed.

There are several streams that feed Trump’s river. Some of his voters are working-class whites who feel Republicans aren’t looking out for them; some of them want to deport all illegal immigrants; some of them want to overthrow a hated Republican establishment; some of them admire Trump as a successful businessman and think he would run

the government well too. Some of his supporters even like Mitt Romney – maybe because he too is a successful businessman. And, of course, some small number of them, all too amply represented on Twitter, are David Duke and his friends.

An oversimplified view of Trump’s coalition can lead us to mistaken conclusions. If we think all of his supporters are bigots, for example, we will have an unfair and alarming view of a large share of our fellow citizens. If we think they are all deadset against Republican politicians, we will assume anti-Trump statements by those politicians are futile efforts, or assume all of them will be furious if a divided convention nominates someone other than Trump.

And if those of us who are pundits assume we already know everything worth knowing – even in the face of genuinely surprising phenomena few of us predicted, such as Trump’s rise – then we’ll be even more insufferably self-satisfied than we already are.

and others, action to address climate change is very likely to happen this year.

The revenue-neutral carbon fee is appealing to both sides of the aisle, because this plan would not only significantly reduce carbon but stimulate the economy and increase the number of jobs by nearly 3 million over 20 years.

That’s an idea that sounds delightful to members of both political parties.

The conversation is shifting away from the “debate” about climate change and toward finding suitable ways to address the problem.

Rick Johnson Wonder Lake

• Wednesday, March 16, 2016

Robert Kagan, a neoconservative writer, has a theory about Donald Trump: He has risen to the top of the Republican field because the party has taught its members to value obstruction and hate President Barack Obama.

The more detail Kagan puts into his case, the less plausible it appears.

So, for example, he decries “the persistent calls for nullification of Supreme Court decisions” as the kind of thing that led to Trump – who has said very little about Supreme Court decisions and nothing about nullification. If “the party’s wild obstructionism” was the portent, then why is the leading primary candidate the guy who keeps promising to make deals?

If Kagan’s theory were true, we would expect Trump to be doing better with Republican voters who consider themselves “very conservative” than with those who call themselves “somewhat conservative” or “moderate.” It’s the “very conservative” voter who, presumably, has most internalized the party’s anti-Obama message over the past few years.

The exit-poll data contradict Kagan’s theory. In 12 of the 15 states for which we have numbers, Trump did worse among “very conservative” voters than among voters in general.

Low gas prices drag down U.S. retail sales in February

By CHRISTOPHER S. RUGABER The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – U.S. retail sales slipped last month, pulled down by sharply lower gas prices, and Americans spent much less in January than previously estimated. The figures suggest that consumers remain cautious about spending despite steady hiring.

Retail sales fell 0.1 percent in February, the Commerce Department said Tuesday. Excluding the volatile gas and auto categories, sales rose 0.3 percent.

Overall sales were revised sharply lower in January, from a 0.2 percent gain to a drop of 0.4 percent.

Americans’ reluctance to open their wallets could hold back growth in the first three months of this year. Economists had hoped that solid hiring and lower gas prices would entice consumers to spend more, yet Americans seem to be pocketing much of the savings from cheaper gas.

The weak data could make it more likely the Federal Reserve will hold off on raising the short-term interest rate it

controls. Most economists have reduced their forecasts for rate hikes this year from four to two. Fed policymakers are meeting Tuesday and Wednesday.

“Today’s report is decidedly negative for both the economy and the probability of a near-term rate hike from the Fed,” said Bricklin Dwyer, an economist at BNP Paribas.

The retail report provides the first indication each month of Americans’ spending, which drives 70 percent of the economy.

Yet retail sales account for only about one-third of all spending, with services such as haircuts and Internet access making up the other two-thirds.

Americans are spending more on services such as health care, education and mobile data, so overall purchases may rise faster than the retail data suggests.

Sales generally were weak across the board: Auto dealers, electronics and appliance stores, grocery stores and department stores all reported lower sales. Gas station sales plunged 4.4 percent.

Americans cut back in a category that includes catalog and online sales, which

slipped 0.2 percent. That was its worst showing in 13 months.

Shoppers did spend more in some areas: Sales at home supply, clothing and sporting goods stores all rose. And people still are eating out. Sales at restaurants and bars jumped 1 percent.

Healthy consumer spending is a key component of growth this year. It is expected to offset drags from slower growth overseas and a strong dollar, which are cutting into exports and corporate profits.

As a result, economists and policy makers will be paying close attention to retail sales data and other measures of Americans’ willingness to spend.

Other reports in the past few weeks have suggested that Americans are opening their wallets and pocketbooks. In January, total consumer spending rose by the most in eight months. Incomes rose by the most since June.

Gas prices, meanwhile, fell 27 cents in mid-February to an average of $1.70 a gallon nationwide. Since then, they have rebounded by 24 cents to $1.94, according to AAA.

At the Marengo-Union Chamber of Commerce, we like to get to know our members on a more personal level, learn their needs and help find solutions for them to succeed.

During recent visits with members, I asked our local business owners two simple questions: “Why did you start your own business?” and “What drives you to succeed?” Their responses were both enthusiastic and complex.

Many answers were similar. Many owners answered both questions by saying they didn’t have to answer to anyone and they could achieve financial freedom. Many said their business is their passion or that they like to take on a good challenge.

But the most important answer among every owner was how customers, clients and the public became a part of their own personal lives – a factor that drives them to succeed.

You can search and find thousands of great articles on the Internet written by successful people on business successes and failures. You can exhaust yourself by reading every article. In a condensed version, articles generally describe 12

Homebuilder sentiment steady in March

By ALEX VEIGA

The Associated Press U.S. homebuilders remain optimistic that the housing market will improve, but their expectations for sales over the next six months have dimmed just as the spring home-selling season gets under way.

The National Association of Home Builders/Wells Fargo builder sentiment index released Tuesday held steady at 58 this month.

Readings above 50 indicate more builders view sales conditions as good rather than poor. The index had been in the low 60s for eight months until February.

Builders’ view of current sales conditions held steady, while a measure of traffic by prospective buyers increased. But builders’ outlook for sales over the next six months declined to the lowest level in 12 months.

The latest readings come as the annual spring buying season ramps up. Typically, the season sets the pattern for residential hiring and construction for much of the rest of the year.

Sales of new homes surged 14.5 percent last year to 501,000, marking the strongest year for this segment of the housing market since 2007.

But that momentum didn’t carry over

into January, when new-home sales fell 9.2 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 494,000.

That’s well below the historic 52-year average of 655,200. February’s sales figures are due out next week.

This month’s builder index was based on 288 respondents.

Builders’ view of current sales conditions for single-family homes held steady at 65, while their gauge of traffic by prospective buyers rose four points to 43.

Builders’ outlook for sales over the next six months fell three points to 61, the lowest level since a reading of 59 in March 2015.

Even so, this month’s index builder sentiment index remains in line with the NAHB’s forecast of a slow-but-steady improvement for the single-family home market this year.

“Solid job growth, low mortgage rates and improving mortgage availability will help keep the housing market on a gradual upward trajectory in the coming months,” said David Crowe, the NAHB’s chief economist.

Though new homes represent only a fraction of the housing market, they have an outsized impact on the economy. Each home built creates an average of three jobs for a year and generates about $90,000 in tax revenue, according to NAHB data.

MATTHEW PERRY TO PLAY TED KENNEDY IN MINISERIES

THINGS

WORTH TALKIN’ ABOUT WEDNESDAY, MARCH 16, 2016

NEW YORK – Former “Friends” star Matthew Perry will play Ted Kennedy in the forthcoming miniseries “The Kennedys – After Camelot.”

Reelz cable channel on Tuesday announced his casting for the four-hour project, a follow-up to the miniseries “The Kennedys.” The new film will begin production in May, to air in spring 2017.

Perry portrays Ted Kennedy in the years following the assassinations of his brothers Jack and Bobby as he tries to continue the Kennedy legacy. Katie Holmes will reprise her role as Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis from “The Kennedys,” which aired on Reelz in 2011.

Film academy meeting ‘Hamilton’ creator asks Congress to aid Puerto Rico to discuss diversity, Oscars

U.S. actress Angelina Jolie, Special Envoy of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, speaks during a news conference Tuesday during her visit to a Syrian refugee camp in the eastern city of Zahleh, Lebanon.

Angelina Jolie visits Lebanon, says world has failed refugees BEIRUT – Angelina Jolie, the Hollywood actress and special envoy for the U.N.’s refugee agency, said Tuesday that the international community must address the root causes of the global refugee crisis.

“We cannot manage the world through aid relief in the place of diplomacy and political solutions,” she said under the pouring rain at a news conference in Lebanon’s Bekaa Valley.

Hundreds of thousands of Syrians have sought refuge in the Bekaa. Lebanon hosts well over a million Syrian refugees, who now account for nearly a fifth of its population.

Jolie said she had hoped to be in Syria helping victims return to their homes on the fifth anniversary of the uprising against President Bashar Assad. She said it’s “tragic and shameful that we seem to be so far from that point.”

There are now more people displaced through conflict around the globe than during World War II, according to the U.N. The war in Syria between Assad’s government, rebels and foreign jihadis has drawn in world powers and generated what the U.N. says is the largest humanitarian catastrophe in a generation.

Half of Syria’s prewar population of some 23 million has been displaced, with around 5 million having fled their homeland, mainly to neighboring Lebanon, Jordan, Turkey and Iraq.

The international relief organization OXFAM warned Tuesday that Lebanese municipalities are running out of space to bury deceased refugees.

“We should never forget that for all the focus on the refugee situation in Europe at this time, the greatest pressure is still being felt in the Middle East and North Africa, as it has for each of the last five years,” Jolie said.

WASHINGTON – America’s first treasury secretary said it’s time for Congress to help dig Puerto Rico out of its debt crisis. And if it will help make the case, he’s even got access to tickets to Broadway’s latest mega-hit musical.

Alexander Hamilton – actually Lin-Manuel Miranda, who created the show “Hamilton” and plays him onstage – told reporters Tuesday on Capitol Hill that lawmakers must pass legislation that would let the U.S. territory restructure its $72 billion debt.

Flanked by lawmakers and facing a roomful of television cameras and congressional aides flashing pictures on their phones, Miranda called his appearance at a news conference “a lot more nerve-racking than a Broadway stage.” He admitted to “a healthy cynicism and allergy to politics,” but said he had a message to deliver.

“We have a humanitarian crisis on our hands,” said Miranda, surrounded by sympathetic Democrats including New York Sens.

Kirsten Gillibrand and Chuck Schumer, for whom Miranda knocked on doors in an early campaign.

Miranda is a New Yorker whose parents were born in Puerto Rico. Legislation addressing the problem is bogged down in Congress.

Miranda joked that if a “Hamilton” ticket would help, “I know a guy.”

House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., has said his chamber will produce “a responsible solution” to Puerto Rico’s debt problems by the end of March.

NEW YORK – The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences’ Board of Governors is meeting Tuesday to discuss the group’s much-debated diversity initiatives and an Oscars ceremony where ratings sunk to an eight-year low.

The 51-member board is meeting for the first time since Jan. 21, when it unanimously voted on a series of steps to diversify the academy’s largely white and male membership amid a storm of criticism over two straight years of all-white acting nominees.

But since that announcement, many questions have arisen over whether the planned changes contradict the academy’s own bylaws, and whether they unfairly punish older members, many of whom would lose their voting privileges.

‘Indiana Jones’ to return with Ford and Spielberg

NEW YORK – “Indiana Jones” is swinging back into theaters with Harrison Ford reprising the iconic role and Steven Spielberg directing.

The Walt Disney Co. announced Tuesday that the fifth film in the action adventure series will open July 19, 2019. The last “Indiana Jones” movie was 2008’s poorly received “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull,” which co-starred Shia LaBeouf as Indiana’s son. It followed a nearly 20-year gap in the franchise after 1989’s “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.”

MEXICO CITY – The Rolling Stones made a triumphant return to Mexico a decade after they last performed in the country, delighting a crowd of about 60,000 fans who packed a sports stadium in the capital.

Mick Jagger celebrated Monday night’s concert by poking fun at actor Sean Penn, whose secret interview with Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman while the convicted drug lord was a fugitive from justice has provoked controversy in Mexico.

“Sean Penn came to interview me at the hotel, but I escaped,” the British band’s frontman said to cheers and roars of laughter.

Penn’s article was published by Rolling Stone magazine in January a day after Guzman, the head of the Sinaloa drug cartel, was recaptured by Mexican authorities following his second brazen prison escape months earlier.

Speaking in a heavily accented but charming Spanish, Jagger said the Stones were “having a great time in Mexico” and expressed fondness for the city’s iconic Zocalo, or main square, for “lucha libre” wrestling and for the ancient pyramid ruins of Teotihuacan

Wood and Charlie Watts powered through other hits including “It’s Only Rock ’n Roll (But I Like It),” “Out of Control,” “Wild Horses” and “Paint It Black,” before sending the crowd home with a rousing rendition of “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction.”

The Rolling Stones are wildly popular in Mexico, and many local fans refer to the band as “Their Satanic Majesties” in a nod to the title of their 1967 album.

The Stones will play a second show Thursday in Mexico, the penultimate stop on their “Ole” tour of Latin America.

Then they’re off to Havana for a historic free concert on March 25, three days after U.S. President Barack Obama wraps up his own landmark visit to communist-run Cuba.

Treadmills before pills

More doctors are prescribing exercise instead of medication

By RODRIQUE NGOWI

W

The Associated Press

hen Dr. Michelle Johnson scribbles out prescriptions, the next stop for many of her patients is the gym, not the pharmacy.

Doctors treating chronic health problems increasingly are prescribing exercise for their patients – and encouraging them to think of physical activity as their new medication.

In one such program run by a health center in Boston’s Roxbury neighborhood, primary care physicians, internists and psychologists prescribe access to a gym for $10 a month, including free child care, classes and kids programs. Providing affordable gym access for patients ensures compliance, said Gibbs Saunders of Healthworks Community Fitness, a nonprofit gym in Dorchester that has partnered with several health care providers to help low-income residents fill their exercise prescriptions.

Executives at the Whittier Street Health Center say low-cost access to a gym is important, since many residents’ income is low and 70 percent of those they treat suffer from chronic problems such as obesity, high blood pressure, diabetes and depression.

Life expectancy in Roxbury is 59 years – well below the national average of 78.8 years.

“Exercise is not a new medicine.

It’s really an old medicine,” said Johnson, who prescribes exercise to patients at the Roxbury-based health center. “But you know, I think we’re now coming to the point of understanding how important it is.”

Monisha Long, who was morbidly obese and suffers from hypertension, got a doctor’s prescription for exercise and says she’s gotten visible and dramatic results after more than two years of regular workouts.

“I lost well over 150 pounds, and I’ve been keeping it off for the past couple of years,” she said after working out on an elliptical machine at Healthworks.

And Long cites other, less-visible benefits.

“I’m more energized,” she said. “As far as my energy, I feel like I’m stronger. I feel like I’m less tired. I feel like I can do almost anything now.”

People who are physically active tend to live longer and are at lower

risk of heart disease, stroke, Type 2 diabetes, depression and some cancers, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease and Control and Prevention.

Yet fewer than one in four American adults exercises enough to reap those benefits, the agency says.

Dr. Edward Phillips, a Boston physician, is so sold on exercise he pedals on a stationary bike that’s in-

tegrated into his office desk. Phillips said exercise is “like taking a little bit of Prozac – an antidepressant – and a little bit of Ritalin, which is a stimulant.”

“Our bodies are meant to move,” he said. “Integrating movement into our day allows the system to work optimally. Part of the system that needs to work is our brain, and includes

sleep, mood, cognition, ability to concentrate.”

A prescription for exercise is a bargain, said Stephanie Dennis, who works out on a treadmill to stay fit. “$10 a month is what? $2 a week, $2-$2.50 a week,” she said. “A lot of people pay that every day for coffee.

It’s not a big sacrifice for something that you get big rewards from.”

Why the optimism?

It’s technologically feasible, since vaccines against other viruses in the same family as Zika, including yellow fever, Japanese encephalitis and dengue, already exist. Also, the NIH

Why is the Zika research only now getting underway?

Zika hadn’t been considered enough of a problem to warrant a vaccine until Brazil reported an apparent link to babies born with unusually small heads, which can signal underlying brain damage.

What vaccines are first in line?

It’s too early to know. But a DNA vaccine could be the fastest to develop, said Dr. Barney Graham, of the Vaccine Research Center at the NIH’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, who is leading work to do just that by essentially swapping Zika into the NIH’s experimental West Nile vaccine.

For that approach, researchers insert viral genes into a “plasmid,” a ring of DNA that, when injected, can prompt a cell to produce what looks like the virus’ outer shell. That puts the immune system on guard without any risk of infection. DNA vaccines are being studied for a variety of illnesses, some promising and others that haven’t triggered a strong enough immune response, but Graham said the

technique is safe enough that potential candidates for Zika could be tested quickly.

What about longer-term prospects?

Because birth defects appear to be Zika’s biggest threat, the ultimate goal is a vaccine given in childhood that’s strong enough to persist through the childbearing years, Graham said. After all, scientists fought rubella’s devastating birth defects by creating a childhood vaccine made of live but weakened virus that triggers a long-lasting immune response – one option being researched for Zika.

But multiple options are needed, because live vaccines aren’t recommended for pregnant women, Graham noted.

Who’s doing the research?

The World Health Organization estimates more than a dozen research institutes and companies are doing some initial work. The biggest company is vaccine giant Sanofi Pasteur, which is exploring whether its live attenuated dengue vaccine that recently won approval in Brazil offers a good model for Zika, as well as other options. At Brazil’s Butantan Institute, director Jorge Kalil says researchers are prioritizing an inactivated vaccine,

a kind pregnant women could use.

How would scientists know if an experimental vaccine works?

Fauci’s goal of an initial safety test starting in the fall is only one step. An early clue to a candidate’s effectiveness may come from a human challenge study, which the NIH is planning with Johns Hopkins University. A small number of volunteers would agree to be given a dose of the virus after vaccination, while hospitalized in case of problems, to see whether they’re protected.

Ultimately, learning whether any candidate shot really protects requires large studies, and how fast those could be done depends in part on whether Zika still is spreading widely in 2017.

After all, the 2014 Ebola epidemic in West Africa had begun to ebb by the time major studies of potential vaccines got underway, making it difficult to tell whether those shots worked.

Can vaccine development ever get ahead of the next infectious threat?

While there’s no way to tell what bug will strike next, better investment in vaccine technologies “could allow us to be more prepared so that it’s not quite such a big scramble when these kinds of things happen,” Graham said.

WASHINGTON – Scientists are racing to create a Zika vaccine, and while they’re starting from scratch against a poorly understood disease, copying shots for similar viruses offers a head start.

A variety of potential candidates are being pursued: Simple DNA vaccines, made with only a few genes from the virus; some made from killed or inactivated virus, much like a standard flu shot; others made with live but weakened virus.

“We believe we can get a vaccine,” said Dr. Anthony Fauci, of the National Institutes of Health. He’s optimistic the first small safety tests of at least one kind could begin by early fall.

But that doesn’t mean a vaccine could come in time to help with the outbreak now rapidly spreading through Latin America. Here are some questions and answers about Zika vaccine research:

Music is effective medical therapy Dear Dr. K: I recently visited a friend in the hospital. During my visit, a music therapist came in and played music for her.

The idea of music therapy seems very New Age to me. Is there any evidence for it?

Dear Reader: Music therapists are accomplished musicians who use their knowledge of music and its effects to help people get through medical challenges, such as recovering from a stroke or healing after surgery. Music therapists may play music for you or with you. They even may teach you how to play an instrument.

This all sounds great. But, as you say, it also sounds pretty New Age, and you asked whether there is any evidence behind it. Actually, there is. A growing body of research attests music therapy can improve medical outcomes and quality of life in a variety of ways.

For example, music therapy: • Improves the experience of invasive procedures. Controlled clinical trials looked at people having colonoscopies, cardiac angiography and knee surgery. Those who listened to music before their procedure had reduced anxiety and a reduced need for sedatives. Those who listened to music in the operating room reported less discomfort during their procedure. Hearing music in the recovery room reduced the use of opioid painkillers.

• Restores lost speech. Stroke or traumatic brain injury can damage the region on the left side of the brain that is responsible for speech. Music therapy can help.

How? The ability to sing originates in the right side of the brain. People who are recovering from stroke or brain injury can work around the injury to the left side of their brain by first singing their thoughts. Then, gradually, they can drop the melody.

• Reduces side effects of cancer therapy.

SUDOKU

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff Listening to music reduces anxiety associated with chemotherapy and radiotherapy. It also can quell nausea and vomiting for patients receiving chemotherapy.

• Aids pain relief. Music therapy has been tested in patients with different types of pain, including intense acute pain and chronic pain. Music therapy decreases the perception of pain and reduces the amount of pain medication needed. It also helps relieve depression and gives people a better sense of control over their pain.

• Improves quality of life for dementia patients. The ability to engage with music remains intact into the later stages of dementia. Music therapy can help to recall memories, reduce agitation, assist communication and improve physical coordination. A wonderful documentary film released in 2014, “Alive Inside: A Story of Music and Memory,” demonstrates the value music can have in awakening memory among people with dementia. It is a memorable experience to see people who appear terminally lost to the world, barely able to communicate in words, come alive to music.

Most of the studies I refer to have used classical music and popular songs. I’m not aware of any studies using newer forms of popular music, such as punk, rap or heavy metal. Do they, too, relieve anxiety, promote wound healing and help restore speech and memory? Call me old-fashioned, but I doubt it.

Harris is one of the most requested items that appeared in my column. It addresses not only the pet’s end of life, but also how to respectfully treat the animal during its days on earth.

My “Keepers” booklet includes “A Dog’s Prayer,” as well as amusing and thought-provoking poems and essays on a variety of subjects, ranging from children and parenting, to human nature, houseguests and more. It can be ordered by sending your name and mailing address, plus check or money order for $7 in U.S. funds, to: Dear Abby Keepers, P.O. Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. Shipping and handling are included in the price. Many people have told me “Keepers” makes a welcome gift for newlyweds, new parents, animal lovers or anyone who is recovering from an illness.

Dear Abby: My boyfriend has worn panties since he was 12. We are both 20 and have been together for a year. I know it’s odd, but I’ve always thought it was cute and, admittedly, sexy.

We will graduate from college next year and are thinking about our futures.

I’ve been doing some reading and am concerned he might have some repressed tendencies. He says he does not, and gets quiet and stubborn and won’t discuss it. He always dresses as a female character for Halloween, wearing my undies. This year he went as Lady Gaga.

Are these good-enough reasons to be worried?

And if so, what should I do? – Tested In Tampa Dear Tested: Whether or not you should worry depends on what you are worried about. I am more concerned your boyfriend is unwilling to discuss this than what he’s wearing under his Levis.

If you’re afraid he might not be 100 percent heterosexual, you should know some straight men wear ladies’ panties because they like the way they feel. Also, some men who enjoy cross-dressing have successful marriages to women who aren’t threatened by it and who help them do it.

Dear Abby: I would like to suggest some wives be a little less traditional and inhibited. Be just a little bit more adventurous, open-minded and forward – nothing excessive, mind you. Variety, after all, is the spice of life. What husband wouldn’t enjoy an exceptionally nice surprise every once in awhile? – Wishful Thinking In

You DO NOT Have to Suffer From Knee Pain Any Longer!

KNEE PAIN?

NEW FDA APPROVED TREATMENT PROVEN TO RELIEVE KNEE PAIN

Over 100 million Americans suffer from knee and joint pain? This pain accounts for 25 percent of all visits to primary care physicians and half of all anti-inflammatory drug prescriptions.Have you ever wondered how different your life would be if you could get rid of your knee pain? Where would you go, what would you do?

What would you give for a day, a week or a lifetime of pain-free mobility? We are pleased to announce that knee pain sufferers don’t have to wait any longer to get the most advanced, non-surgical, FDA approved treatment. If you suffer from any degree of knee pain, we invite you to regain control of your life by visiting Wellness Institute of Illinois, a state-of-the-art medical facility.

WHAT IS OSTEOARTHRITIS (OA)?

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

WHAT ELSE IS AVAILABLE TO TREAT KNEE PAIN?

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

HOW DOES THIS TREATMENT WORK?

We use diagnostic ultrasound, allowing the doctor to pinpoint problem areas with extreme accuracy. A viscosupplement is then injected, and the healing process begins. Viscosupplementation bonds with naturally occurring joint fluid to create a lubricating and cushioning layer. It reduces pain, inflammation and swelling of the joint. Patients compare the treatment to getting a shot at the doctor’s office, and report little pain or discomfort.

WHAT IS INJECTED INTO THE KNEE?

Hyaluronic acid is similar to substances that occur naturally in your joint. The outside of the joint (joint capsule) is comprised of a sturdy, fibrous tissue. The lining of the joint capsule contains synovial cells, which secrete a thick, viscous synovial fluid.

Hyaluronic acid contributes to the viscous nature of the joint fluid, nourishes the cartilage, helps eliminate waste products, lubricates the joint and acts as a shock absorber inside the joint.Hyaluronic acid is reduced or lost from those who suffer from osteoarthritis. It is similar to changing the oil in your car.

If your car were to run low on oil, you would have some serious wear and tear on the moving parts.

Wojcik ignites 4-run 8th with RBI double

By JOE STEVENSON

joestevenson@shawmedia.com McHENRY – Richmond-Burton catcher Mike Wojcik approached the plate in the eighth inning without having put a ball in play in three previous at-bats.

Wojcik did not let the two strikeouts – along with a walk – affect his confidence one bit. He sought redemption instead.

“I’d been struggling in the game at the plate,” Wojcik said. “I needed to pull through for the team. They did their part, I had to deliver my part.”

After Joe Dittmar and Trevor Anderson walked with one out, Wojcik ripped a 0-1 pitch deep to right field.

It landed on the warning track for a double and scored Dittmar, sparking a four-run rally for the Rockets.

R-B tacked on three more and reliever Jake Moeller threw his second scoreless inning to seal a 5-1 victory

Louisville commits Bobby Miller (McHenry) and Jake Rosing (Richmond-Burton) were tough on opposing hitters. Miller struck out 10 and allowed one hit in four scoreless innings.

Rosing whiffed six and yielded one hit in three scoreless innings. over McHenry on Tuesday in a nonconference baseball season opener for both teams at Petersen Park.

“On the first pitch, I was underneath and my timing was off,” Wojcik said. “It was an outside changeup, so I just stuck with my plan.”

Wojcik already had impacted the game in the fifth inning when he likely saved a run on a pitch in the dirt. McHenry’s Matt Spooner led off

with a double and with one out went for third base when Wojcik blocked a breaking ball in the dirt from Dakota Gibb. Wojcik pounced on the ball, which landed about 6 feet away and fired a strike right on the base to get Spooner.

“That was probably the biggest play of the game,” Rockets coach Mike Giese said. “He came out three steps and threw a BB. He was a big difference in this game. He controlled our pitchers really well.”

McHenry coach Brian Rockweiler said he had no problem with Spooner trying to advance.

R-B started sophomore ace Jake Rosing, who threw three scoreless innings and struck out six, then used three other pitchers. Robby Svenson wriggled out of trouble in the sixth before Moeller picked up the victory.

Svenson allowed two walks and a hit with one out, but struck out Ian Grubich and Jake Ahrens to keep the Warriors from scoring.

“I dug deep and gave it all I had,” said Svenson, a junior. “I was trying to throw strikes and give my team a chance to win. Try to get out of that inning so we could hit. I wasn’t feeling nervous, I was more excited.”

McHenry junior Bobby Miller struck out 10 and allowed one hit in four innings.

Neilson came in with a 2-1 lead and pitched the final three innings for the Trojans to pick up the save. He allowed only one hit, didn’t walk anybody and struck out four.

q THE NUMBER

1

Combined walks allowed by Cary-Grove starter Matt McCumber and Neilson

q AND ANOTHER THING ...

The Trojans were the away team but stayed in their home dugout, which drew some criticism from one Palatine fan. jans, who held on for a 2-1 nonconference win.

Max Neilson pitched the final three innings for the Trojans (1-0), retiring nine of 12 batters faced with four strikeouts and inducing a 6-4-3 double

After allowing a walk, he got Palatine’s Justin Torres to ground out lightly to Smith at third.

“I just wanted to keep my composure,” McCumber said. “Keep the ball down and let my defense do the work, and Mark (Smith) came up with a nice play. ... It just felt good to be on the field.”

Nick Kirk (2 for 4, steal) gave the Trojans their first run, waiting back on an off-speed pitch from Palatine starter Jack Trembley and driving in Quinn Celske to tie the score, 1-1, in the fourth. Celske reached on a single and advanced to second on a balk.

Sutherland praised his two pitchers for coming out and showing great command of the strike zone in the first game.

“I think we walked one guy, and that’s really tough to do the first time out there,” Sutherland said. “Boy, Max pitched with confidence, and he really did a great job against a hard part of their order. Nobody can pitch seven (innings) at this point, so to have a guy come in and pitch that well was really great to see.”

Huntley runs away with FVC Indoor Invitational Huntley senior Tim McCloyn won the shot put and the 60 meters at the Fox Valley Conference Boys Track and Field Indoor Invitational on Tuesday at the Huntley Field House.

The Red Raiders won the team title with 131 points, comfortably ahead of second-place Grayslake Central (96). Crystal Lake Central (70) was next, followed by Crystal Lake South and McHenry, each with 58.

McCloyn edged McHenry’s Gio Purpura for first in the 60 (7.17-7.19) and threw 56-21/2

to win the shot put by 6 feet.

Sean Patel was another star for the Red Raiders with a win in the triple jump and second in the long jump. The Raiders’ 4x200 relay team of Brendan O’Donnell, Trevor Dell’Aquilla, Jeremie Allen and Dubem Anikamadu ran 1:31.41, which Raiders coach Jim Rolando thinks is the fastest Class 3A time in the state.

Jacobs’ Dylan Rogers had two firsts as he won the 400 meters, then ran with the Golden Eagles’ victorious 4x400 team.

CARY – Cary-Grove senior Dallas McDonough felt like he missed an early opportunity to give his new team the lead against Palatine on Tuesday, striking out on a high fastball with the bases loaded in the top of the first inning.

“I swung at a high pitch and (C-G) coach (Don Sutherland) kept reassuring me,” said McDonough, who was playing his first game with the Trojans after transferring from Marian Central. “The umpires were calling it low, and the pitchers like to throw it low.”

McDonough wouldn’t let the next opportunity with a runner in scoring position go by without a better approach.

With a runner on second in the top half of the fifth, the Trojans’ first baseman took the first pitch he saw from Palatine’s Ryan Anderson into left field to drive in the go-ahead run.

A slight bobble in the outfield allowed Tyler Pennington to score for the Tro-

play to end the game. Matt McCumber, a junior, picked up the win, allowing one unearned run on four hits, one walk and four strikeouts.

“I just sat on that first ball, saw it, it was low, and I just gave it a ride,” said McDonough, who finished 2 for 4 with an RBI. McDonough’s clutch hit knocked in Pennington, who led off the fifth with a walk and reached second base on a sacrifice bunt by Mark Smith (1 for 3).

The Trojans left seven runners on base in the first four innings, loading the bases in the first and again in the fifth.

The Pirates (0-1) took a quick 1-0 lead after leadoff hitter Zach Oles reached on an error and came around to score on an RBI groundout by Jack Grochowski.

McCumber (1-0), who missed a month and a half last season after a lifting injury to his chest, kept the Pirates off the board in his final three innings, getting out of a bases-loaded jam in the fourth inning after he appeared to pick off a runner at first for the final out.

“There was a lot of gaps in between their defenders, and we knew how to play each other – we got a lot of good long balls together,” Widdowson said.

Added Gusakow: “Yeah, the defenders were up a little bit more and we were able to get those through balls quicker and better.”

Gusakow wanted the hat trick “so bad” but narrowly missed four chances early in the second half.

Eventually, it was Hayes who made it 3-0 in the 58th minute on an assist from Maddie Hollander.

Seven-foot center Damian Jones missed both of his shots and all of his four free throws in the first half as Vanderbilt failed to take advantage of its size on offense. He finished with five points.

It wasn’t the same “Dunk City” gang that captured the nation’s attention during an improbable Sweet 16 run in 2013, but the Eagles controlled the boards and blew past overmatched Fairleigh Dickinson in a First Four game.

DAYTON, Ohio – Wichita State’s guards used their Final Four experience to pull out a defense-dominated First Four game Tuesday night, leading the way to a 70-50 victory over Vanderbilt.

Fred VanVleeet – the two-time Missouri Valley player of the year – scored 14 points, and Ron Baker also had 14 as Wichita State (25-8) took control at the start of the second half and held on.

The seniors were part of Wichita State’s 2013 Final Four team.

The Shockers play Arizona on Thursday in Providence, Rhode Island.

Vanderbilt (19-14) couldn’t take advantage of its pronounced size advantage on offense and never led in the second half. Joe Toye and Riley LaChance had 10 apiece.

The Shockers returned three starters from the team that knocked off Indiana and Kansas to reach the Sweet 16 last year, drawing a No. 10 ranking in the preseason poll. A lot of early injuries – including VanVleet’s pulled hamstring – forced the Shockers to reinvent themselves.

They got yet another setback Tuesday when VanVleet left to get treated for a cut on the right side of his forehead only a few minutes into the game. He gave the Shockers a pep talk during the next timeout but stayed on the bench.

VanVleet got back into the game with 13:13 left in the half and hit a baseline jumper for his first points. Asked after the game if he would need stitches, he said, “No, I’m not a stitches guy, I don’t do needles. I’ll just butterfly (bandage) it up.”

He and Baker let their tournament experience show at the start of the second half, scoring all the points in an 11-0 run for a 41-30 lead – the biggest by either team up to that point. Baker hit a 3, and VanVleet made a pair from beyond the arc during the spurt.

Vanderbilt cut the lead to one point, but Wichita State dug in and hit backto-back 3s that pushed it to 57-48 and left the Shockers in control.

Back in health, they’re moving on in the tournament, getting the better of a defensive game.

There were few open shots in a choppy first half that ended tied 30-30 – about

6 CUBS SPRING TRAINING

Lester makes progress with pickoff Heyward leads Cubs over Padres

By GORDON WITTENMYER gwittenmyer@suntimes.com

MESA, Ariz. – Jon Lester picked off a guy.

It might not sound like much. And it wasn’t even in a real game.

But after a year of scrutiny of his fielding issues and throwing yips on pickoff moves and bunts since he signed with the Cubs, it was a sign of progress for the left-hander Jon Lester Tuesday during a five-inning simulated game against minor-leaguers.

“This is obviously something I can’t run from,” said Lester, who picked off Dan Vogelbach as the runner was taking a walking lead off first in the second inning. “This is not something you can hide.”

In fact, hiding it wouldn’t be a healthy option even if it could be done, said manager Joe Maddon – who has folded Lester’s very public base-throwing issues into his “Embrace the tar-

PEORIA, Ariz. – Jason Heyward went 2 for 4 with two doubles and three RBIs in the Chicago Cubs’ 11-1 win over San Diego on Tuesday.

The Cubs struck for five runs in the first inning off Padres pitcher Tyson Ross, who has already been named the opening day starter. Javier Baez drove in two with a single and Tim Federowicz doubled in a run, as did hot-hitting prospect Jeimer Candelario.

Dexter Fowler walked twice and scored twice for the Cubs.

get” theme for the season.

“You don’t give up on it. You talk about it,” the manager said. “You attack those particular items. You avoid avoidance.”

The pitching part was fine again Tuesday, but the fielding and infield throws definitely proved again to be a work in progress.

The pickoff of Vogelbach was his first throw to first in the game.

“That was huge for me,” said Lester,

who didn’t make another throw to first until an errant toss near the end of the fourth.

He then made the fifth inning almost all about fielding and holding base runners.

The Cubs started the fifth with a runner at first, and Lester’s first throw over was wide and to the screen for an error.

Lester then sent the runner back to first, repeatedly, to keep working on the move. He threw over six times total in the inning – three good ones, three not.

“A lot of positives today,” Lester said. “I know it probably to the outsider doesn’t look like it, but there were a lot of positives. I made a lot of mistakes, but I’ll definitely take the good with the bad.”

Before the fifth, he had a 45-foot underhand toss to first for an out in the third, and after fielding a bunt in the fourth tried to turn a double play but buried a 20-foot throw into the grass that bounced to the shortstop for a lucky out.

He said he got caught in between on that throw because catcher David Ross

was yelling “four” to try for an out at the plate.

“It’s an open conversation,” Maddon said of Lester’s work-in-progress fielding for the pitcher whose issues admittedly go back to high school days.

“I know he’s been open about it, too, which is good. We’ve just got to keep working through it.

“At some point you have that breakthrough moment,” the manager said, “and the epiphany occurs. And all of a sudden it becomes a lot easier to do those things. … I thought we did a nice job last year of controlling it. I’m not concerned about it.”

With the move to the National League after eight seasons in the American League, infield throwing has become more pronounced, said Lester, who allowed more stolen bases (44) than any other pitcher in baseball last season.

“I think if we try to cut what happened last year in half, I probably couldn’t be more pleased,” he said.

“That’s definitely my goal, to continue to work on it and minimize the damage as best I can.”

WHITE SOX SPRING TRAINING

By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN

dvanschouwen@suntimes.com

GLENDALE, Ariz. – Matt Davidson’s second home run of Tuesday’s game came in the bottom of the ninth, lifting the White Sox to an 8-6 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Jason Coats also homered for the Sox, and the Dodgers hit four homers, including Rob Segedin’s tying solo shot to lead off the ninth against Jake Petricka. But Davidson connected off Jamey Wright after Travis Ishikawa’s double to win it.

– The Associated Press

LaRoche hasn’t played in 10 days after leaving his second game with a low back spasm. He said the back completely locked up on him like never before, and to see him in obvious discomfort, face down in a confined visitors clubhouse trainer’s room, made you wonder how much he had left. After all, he had come to camp in seemingly good shape and then he homered in his first game of the spring.

And then a setback.

An accomplished hitter over the course of his career, LaRoche batted .207

with only 12 homers and 44 RBIs last season after signing a two-year, $25 million contract to bat cleanup and protect Jose Abreu in the lineup. He failed, endured minor but nagging injuries and felt sincerely bad about earning his paycheck.

To know LaRoche personally was to know a candidate, if there ever was one, who would give his earnings back. In a sense, he’s doing that in 2016 by taking the Sox off the hook for $13 million.

“We’ve always known this was a high-character guy,” general manager Rick Hahn said. “If this is the end, this was a guy who obviously had a very solid, extensive big-league career, and in the end was playing this game for the right reasons, not for strictly economic ones.”

If LaRoche was due for a repeat performance, he’s doing his team a favor.

If he was due for a rebound year, he’s letting it down. LaRoche might return to camp Wednesday to provide more insight into his decision.

“He was very certain of the course of action he wanted to take,” Hahn said.

“He is obviously a man of great convictions so I don’t necessarily think we’ll see a change of heart from him.

“In the end, we respect his choice.”

LaRoche, who is married with two children, including young teenage son Drake, who often traveled with him during the season and has been an in-uniform fixture in the clubhouse during spring training, posted this on his Twitter account: “Thank u Lord for the game of baseball and for giving me way more than I ever deserved! #FamilyFirst” Therein his reasoning may lie.

“He’s been around for a while, obviously battling some injuries,” said Jimmy Rollins, a 37-year-old former NL East foe of LaRoche. “All those things weigh in.”

Rollins knew it was over when he came in and saw LaRoche shaking hands with everyone.

“When you get the whole speech it’s like, ‘Wow this is really happening.’

“He was going to come and give himself a chance. And he’s dealing with back issues again, so you start weighing those things out. “... Now he gets to enjoy his Fourth of July and travel around the country and do the things he wants to do in his retirement.”

GLENDALE, Ariz. – Adam LaRoche’s decision to walk away from baseball and $13 million this season was a stunner.

On the other hand, knowing the 36-year-old’s convictions, family values and an apparent weariness from spending an increasing amount of time in the trainer’s room, it wasn’t a complete shock.

Adam LaRoche During a lengthy team meeting at the club’s spring training facility Tuesday morning, LaRoche told the White Sox his intentions to call it quits.

“I’ve decided to step away from baseball,” LaRoche quietly told two Chicago newspaper reporters afterward, citing personal reasons. “I’ll have more in a day or two.”

LaRoche said he wanted another day to sleep on it, but rest assured, this is it.

“I wanted to make sure it was the right move and not make an emotional decision,” he said. “I’m confident it is.”

8 BULLS ANALYSIS

It’s time for Butler to carry his team

By JOE COWLEY

jcowley@suntimes.com WASHINGTON – Jimmy Butler is the best player on the Bulls’ roster.

That’s no longer up for debate.

Even the Derrick Rose apologists have to bow to the fact Rose has become Robin to Butler’s Batman.

To take it a step further, in all honesty Butler has a better all-around skillset than Rose ever had, even in the 2010-11 MVP campaign.

Better rebounder, better passer, better outside shooter, and defense isn’t even in the same area code.

And what’s nice about Butler is a willingness to work on his weaknesses, so there’s still no way to put a ceiling on his game.

The best is yet to come.

It better start coming over the next 17 games.

For all the tough talk about leadership and the Hollywood bravado, this team is now on Butler’s shoulders. He improved his game like a star, he was paid like a star, and now it’s time to carry a team like a star.

Monday night was a nice first step.

Chris Young/The Canadian Press via AP

The Bulls’ Jimmy Butler shoots against the Raptors’ Patrick Patterson on Monday in Toronto. The Bulls won, 109-107.

In upsetting Toronto, 109-107, with Pau Gasol (right knee), Mike Dunleavy (flu) and Rose (groin/listening to his body) on the shelf, Butler scored

only 13 points on 5-for-18 shooting, but showed just how much he can impact a game without filling up the net.

His six assists led the team, and his defense on DeMar DeRozan saved the night. Not bad for a guy who played only one other game since Feb. 6, because of a left knee that won’t stop barking at him.

So there sat Butler in the visiting locker room of the Air Canada Centre after the win, towel draped over his head, ice on both knees, and exhaustion firmly planted all over his face, admitting that he has very little choice but to play the rest of the season shaking hands with pain.

“I think my knee is going to be banged up a little bit,” Butler said, when asked about gutting out the rest of the regular season. “Gotta learn to live with it, get my wind back, get in that gym, get my rhythm back.”

A lot to get done and very little time to do it.

With the win over the Raptors, combined with Detroit’s no-show against the Wizards, the Bulls grabbed back the last playoff spot for at least one night. The playoff chase continues

for both teams Wednesday, with the Bulls playing in the nation’s capital and Detroit hosting Atlanta.

Butler sounded as if he’s a go, as all eyes switch to Rose and his status.

One thing to keep in mind, however? Rose not playing isn’t a game-changer. The Bulls improved to 6-1 this season when Butler plays and Rose doesn’t, while they were 22-21 when both play. And when Rose plays without Butler they are 4-6.

There’s no question they need both Rose and Butler once the playoffs start and isolation basketball dominates, but this team has no chance if Butler falls to injury again. None.

“Gotta risk it to get the biscuit,” Butler said, when asked about playing heavy minutes with the knee the rest of the season. “I gotta do whatever it takes to help my team win. I let the coaches know that. I let Gar (Forman) and Pax (John Paxson) know that.

“If I’m stepping out on that floor, I’m giving my all for as long as my team needs me.”

They need him.

Now it’s time for Butler to show he can back up tough talk and deliver.

NFL links football to CTE; will it affect $1 billion deal?

By MARYCLAIRE DALE The Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA – The NFL is standing behind a top executive’s acknowledgment that the brain disease CTE can be linked to football.

The comments by Jeff Miller, the senior vice president for health and safety, “accurately reflect the view of the NFL,” league spokesman Brian McCarthy said Tuesday.

Miller spoke Monday at a congressional committee’s roundtable discussion about concussions.

League officials have long denied proof of a connection between playing in the NFL and the condition called chronic traumatic encephalopathy.

Miller told the congressional panel that brain research on former NFL players “certainly” shows a link between football and CTE. Responding to questions, Miller referenced the work of Boston University neuropathologist Dr. Ann McKee, who has found CTE in the brains of 90 former pro football players.

“Well, certainly, Dr. McKee’s research shows that a number of retired NFL players

were diagnosed with CTE, so the answer to that question is certainly yes, but there are also a number of questions that come with that,” Miller said.

CTE is tied to repeated brain trauma and associated with symptoms such as memory loss, depression and progressive dementia.

Four Democratic members of the House Energy and Commerce Committee sent a letter Tuesday to NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, saying Miller’s comments are encouraging in that the league is willing accept the science linking repetitive hits with CTE. The congressmen want answers from Goodell by March 29 on the NFL’s plans to protect current players in the league and in youth programs.

Critics of the NFL’s proposed $1 billion plan to settle concussion claims call Miller’s sudden acknowledgment of a football-CTE connection a game changer.

The settlement is being appealed by players concerned it excludes future cases of CTE. The deal announced by lead plaintiffs’ lawyers and the NFL in August 2013 would instead pay up to $4 million for prior deaths involving CTE.

VIEWS Hub Arkush position.

The news there is that the NFL finally is acknowledging what most of us have known for a while.

What it means, however, is once again very complicated.

Many have jumped to the conclusion Miller’s comments could have some impact on a class-action lawsuit filed against the league by more than 4,500 retired players against the league for failure to warn the players about the risks of concussions and hiding that information, and the settlement of more than $1 billion the two sides reached last year.

I beg to differ.

Neither Miller nor the league has said anything vaguely resembling, “Yes, we knew and we hid the information.”

He simply said they now acknowledge what all of us have come to learn in recent years, after the careers of the great majority of the plaintiffs had ended.

More than that, while I feel horrible for any player who might be dealing with CTE or other forms of dementia today, I have always been bothered by the “Team owners and league should have known but of course we didn’t” mentality.

Has anyone who ever played tackle football not understood it’s a potentially dangerous game?

The fact is, this sudden revelation by the league may or may not have an impact on a judge or a jury, and there’s no way to predict how that’s going to go.

Now, the much more interesting and far-reaching concern is finding out at what rate NFL players contract CTE by playing the game. If it’s incredibly high, why would anyone ever play the game again, and why would the team owners continue to accept the potential liability from sponsoring it?

The real questions are, what can the NFL do to survive going forward or should the next office pool be predicting the date of its funeral?

Chronic traumatic encephalopathy, or CTE as NFL fans have come to know it, is real.

That is the only thing that is easy about this conversation.

Anybody with a handful of working brain cells knows football not only can cause concussions, but also multiple lesser bruises and damage to the brain.

Those same folks also have to know multiple concussions and/or trauma to the brain must create a significant risk for long-term and possiJeff Miller bly even permanent damage.

Football is bad for the brain, and the higher level of competition an individual achieves, the greater risk he is at.

However, because of the relatively short time by medical science standards the medical community has become aware of this cause and effect and the near total lack of any research on preventive measures, there are no treatments or cures for the condition.

The biggest issue as it relates to CTE is it only can be confirmed by studying slices of the brain after a patient is deceased.

Some of the most advanced research has been done by Dr. Ann McKee, a Boston University neuropathologist who has diagnosed CTE in the brains of 176 people, including those of 90 of 94 former NFL players.

Although that is enough to guarantee no one in my family will ever play the game again and it is a stunningly high rate of disease, there is still no “proof” football was the cause and CTE is the effect, and it is a stunningly small sample size for what normally passes for medical research.

This conversation has blown up in the past 24 to 36 hours because for the first time a representative of the NFL, Senior Vice President of Player Health & Safety Jeff Miller, stated at a roundtable discussion on concussions convened by the U.S. House of Representatives’ Committee on Energy and Commerce that a link between football and neurodegenerative diseases such as CTE has been established.

On Tuesday, the league office issued a statement confirming Miller’s comments do represent its current

12 ANOTHER VIEW/BY MARK LAZERUS

Hawks have good reasons for concern

This is usually when it’s time to try to calm everyone down, to talk Blackhawks fans off the ledge. After a string of bad games and half-hearted efforts in March, it’s time to point out the Hawks don’t sweat the regular season. That they’re still deeper than every other contender out there. That their experience and playoff mettle will separate them from the pack when the games matter most, as it almost always does.

Its been written before. In each of the past three years, in fact.

And it’s still all true. If you’re rending garments and wailing at the moon over a few losses in mid-March, then you haven’t been paying attention during the last few seasons. The Hawks are a team built for April through June, not October through March. This is the fourth straight season they’ve stumbled in March. So Marian Hossa was right to chuckle when he was asked whether the Hawks are panicking.

But …

It feels just a little different this year. The flaws are a little more glaring, the potential pitfalls a

little more obvious. Can the Hawks win the Stanley Cup yet again this spring? Of course, they can. Only a fool would count them out. But the road to a championship might be tougher than ever this year. And the car the Hawks are driving is a soupedup sports car with its muffler dragging on Patrick Kane the asphalt, sparks flying.

The underlying numbers are underwhelming. The Hawks are 14th in the league in Corsi (a stat that measures shot attempts for vs. shot attempts against as a proxy for puck possession) at even strength this season, at only 50.7 percent. They were second in the league each of the past two seasons, and first in the 2013 campaign.

Unlike the more well-rounded teams of recent vintage, this is a team that has built its impressive record on its stellar power play and the brilliant play of goaltender Corey Crawford. Its even-strength

numbers are middling. It’s been a one-line team for much of the season (and Joel Quenneville broke up that line Tuesday, putting Patrick Kane alongside Tomas Fleischmann and Jonathan Toews to try to shake up an offense that has scored 10 goals in its past five games). The defense has been unreliable, with two rookies, a 37-year-old veteran and a Kings castoff fighting for the bottom three spots.

They’re just 11-10-2 against the Central Division, which is better than ever and which will provide their first two opponents in the playoffs. They’re just 17-14-4 on the road, and currently wouldn’t have homeice advantage in at least the first round. They’ve been shut out seven times, and have been blown out by three or more goals 11 times.

Each of these is a minor concern.

Taken collectively, however, and it becomes clear how important these final few weeks of the regular season are. The Hawks have to find the right line combinations. The right defensive pairings. And the right mindset. Remember, 10 players who

participated in Tuesday’s practice at the United Center weren’t on the team last year. They don’t necessarily have that experience, that innate sense of poise the Hawks have become known for.

“We have the character in this room that’s not going to allow this to continue,” Andrew Desjardins said.

“Each individual has to go look at himself in the mirror and just find a little bit of anger, a little bit of battle.

A little bit of everything.”

Anger has never been the Hawks’ strong suit. Their supreme self-confidence is one of their great strengths, but it also tends to diminish their urgency, especially in the – yawn – regular season. But while we all might look back at this column and have a good laugh in mid-June when the Hawks are cementing their place in NHL history with yet another Stanley Cup, it won’t happen unless the Hawks do a little soul-searching, and a lot of work.

Transylvanian cheese gets EU recognition

BUCHAREST, Romania – The European Union has officially recognized a brand of Transylvanian cheese, the second Romanian product to win recognition in a month. Agriculture Minister Achim Irimescu said Tuesday Ibanesti white cow’s cheese, a feta-style cheese produced by farmers in the northwest Transylvania region, was recognized Monday by the EU as a food brand produced in a limited geographic area.

The development means producers can apply for European funds to promote it abroad.

Recommended buys: Four Chablis and a chardonnay

By DAVE MCINTYRE The Washington Post

Chablis has four appellations signifying quality: At the top are grand cru and premier cru, which are from specific vineyards, then Chablis and, last, petit Chablis.

There are seven grand cru and 40 premier cru vineyards, giving terroir fiends a lot of wines to experiment with to glean the subtleties of the different sites. Here are four examples of Chablis – three from premier cru vineyards – and a fine California chardonnay. If you are a chardonnay skeptic, these could very well convert you.

Gautheron Les Fourneaux Premier Cru 2014

Three stars.

Chablis, France, $30 Les Fourneaux (“the ovens”) faces south and southeast, and it’s one of Chablis’s warmer sites, producing fuller, riper-styled wines. This lovely wine is rich and full, though not buttery and oaky; it features ripe tree-fruit flavors and stony minerality to give it backbone. Alcohol by volume: 13 percent.

THIS WEEK’S WINNER

Marilyn Welch of Cary will receive a $25 gift certificate provided by Joseph’s Marketplace in Crystal Lake.

Three stars.

Chablis, France, $32 This features stony, bright fruit with peach, apricot and red currant flavors and a long finish. A lovely wine. ABV: 13 percent.

Distributed by Winebow.

Gautheron Chablis Cuvée Émeraude 2012

Simonnet-Febvre Cote de Lechet Chablis Premier Cru 2012

Two and a half stars.

Chablis, France, $30 Cote de Lechet is in a cooler area of Chablis and yields a more austere, mineral wine than sunnier vineyards do. This wine speaks of earth more than fruit. If you’ve ever wondered what wine fiends mean by “minerality,” try this and you’ll understand.

Wild Horse Chardonnay 2014

GREAT VALUE – Two stars.

Central Coast, California, $18 This excellent chardonnay features delicious stone-fruit flavors and enough oak to give it body and structure without making the wine taste like a tree. ABV: 13.5 percent.

Bring the water to a boil in a small pan.

Add the raisins, butter and baking soda, stirring until butter is melted. Remove from heat and cool. Mix in the eggs and molasses. Combine the sugar, flour, vanilla and salt in a large bowl. Stir in raisin mixture.

Pour the batter into three mini greased loaf pans (or go the truly old-fashioned route and use three 16-ounce vegetable cans).

Bake at 350 degrees F. for 40 minutes. Cool before removing from pans.

Simple cabbage, when combined with bacon, is anything but 3

By KATIE WORKMAN The Associated Press

Cabbage is almost as popular on St. Patrick’s Day as green beer. And that’s because cabbage – unlike green beer – is a quintessential part of Irish cuisine (along with bacon and potatoes).

Tenant farmers in the 17th century were forced to pay substantial rents to their landlords, so they relied heavily on crops of cabbage and potatoes to get them through the year. The more prosperous farmers also grew pigs, so they were able to season their vegetables with the pork parts that weren’t needed elsewhere. When the potato famine hit, cabbage became an even more critical food source.

And so on St. Patrick’s Day, it’s customary to eat cabbage in some form.

And fair enough. It remains one of the most affordable and durable vegetables around, a reliable source of something green in the colder months. And when paired with its old compatriot bacon, it’s actually pretty delicious.

Here the bacon is crisped up in a large, heavy pot, then some onions are quickly sautéed in a bit of the remaining fat. Then the cabbage is added, along with the beer of your choice, and in 30 minutes you have a dish that may be modest in cost and appearance, but quite grand in flavor.

This would go very well with corned beef, but also with roasted chicken, salmon, a steak or pretty much anything.

Pour off all but 1 tablespoon of the fat from the pan, then return it to medium heat. Add the onion and sauté for 5 minutes, or until golden brown. Add the cabbage and toss occasionally in the pot for 3 or 4 minutes, or until the cabbage begins to wilt and is well mixed with the onions.

Pour in the beer and bring to a simmer over medium-high. Partially cover the pot, reduce the heat to medium-low, then simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender and most of the liquid is evaporated.

Crumble the reserved bacon and stir it into the cabbage. Serve hot or warm.

Baking with beer

Guinness the secret to the richest chocolate cake ever

By ELIZABETH KARMEL

F

The Associated Press

or me, St. Patrick’s Day isn’t just an excuse to drink Irish whiskey and Guinness. It’s also an excuse to bake with

them.

Not too long ago, I had an idea to bake a chocolate cake spiked with Guinness, then topped with a whiskey glaze. The affinity between the chocolate and the Guinness was amazing.

When I created the recipe, I started with my aunt’s chocolate pound cake, which my mother had remembered as spectacular. My aunt’s basic cake was good, but tastes have changed and I thought it was a bit reserved. I wanted this cake to be luscious, moist and very chocolatey, So I increased the cocoa to a whole cup, substituting an additional 1/2 cup of cocoa for an equal amount of the flour.

For additional richness, I mixed Guinness with an equal amount of half-and-half. And to tie all the flavors together – a hint of freshly grated nutmeg. You don’t really taste it, but it highlights all the other flavors.

The first time I made the cake, I made the Irish whiskey glaze and it was good. But I thought it was wasteful to have to buy both Guinness and Irish whiskey if you didn’t already have it on hand. So I changed the glaze to a Guinness glaze. You can buy a single can of Guinness in almost every grocery store, and having Guinness in both the cake and the glaze is not only delicious but economical, as well.

The glaze is an essential part of the cake, as you poke holes in the cake when it is still warm and slowly spoon the glaze over the cake until the holes are filled with it. That way, once the cake is cooled and sliced, each piece has rivets of deep chocolate glaze set into the top of the cake.

For anyone who is nervous the cake will taste like beer, it does not.

The Guinness adds a stouty richness that makes the cake the best chocolate cake you have ever eaten. It is so good I had to make it three times when I visited my sister and her large family because each time I made it, it was gone before everyone could have a slice. This is the best way I know to celebrate St. Paddy’s Day, the Ides of March, or anytime you want a great piece of chocolate cake.

Sprinkle in a bit of cocoa powder, turning to For the cake: 1 cup cocoa powder, plus extra for the pan coat evenly, then overturning to discard any 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened excess.

In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to 2½ cups granulated sugar beat together the butter and sugar. Add the 4 large eggs eggs, one at a time, and beat until smooth.

2½ cups all-purpose flour Set aside.

1/2 teaspoon baking powder In a large bowl, whisk together the 1 cup 1/2 teaspoon baking soda of cocoa powder, the flour, baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt baking soda, salt and nutmeg. In a 2-cup liq1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg uid measuring cup, stir together the vanilla, 1 tablespoon vanilla extract half-and-half and Guinness.

Meanwhile, prepare the glaze. In a medium bowl, whisk together all ingredients until smooth. Set aside.

When the cake is done, let it cool in the pan for 25 minutes. Set a wire cooling rack over the pan, then invert it so the cake stands on the rack. For ease of cleanup, set the rack over a rimmed baking sheet or a sheet of kitchen parchment. Use a tooth pick to poke deep holes all over the top of the cake.

Spoon glaze over the top of the cake and wait until it seeps into the holes. Spoon more glaze into the holes, then wait 10 minutes. Spoon the remaining glaze all over the top so it covers the holes and drizzles down the sides.

By SARA MOULTON The Associated Press

With St. Patrick’s Day looming, my first thought was that nothing would be more fitting than to salute the patron saint of the Emerald Isle with a fish dish dressed in a very green sauce, one that came by its color honestly, with no artificial food coloring allowed. A second later, it occurred to me actually making such a dish might be easier said than done.

The problem is bright green vegetables and herbs quickly can turn gray when cooked. They don’t like to be heated for very long, and they hate acid. Meanwhile, fish – that most subtly flavored of proteins – cries out for acid.

It took bumping into several walls, but I eventually arrived at a sauce that filled the bill. This gem is packed with fresh green herbs – 4 cups (about two bunches) of parsley complemented by a quarter cup of fresh tarragon.

The key is to cook the purée in a skillet with a wide bottom, which allows it to heat up in a matter of minutes. And as long as you wait until the last moment to add the fresh lemon juice, then serve the dish right away, the sauce will stay green rather than turning gray.

If you’d prefer to keep this recipe meat-free, omit the prosciutto. If you’re not a fan of tarragon, swap in basil or dill. However you customize it, this salmon will put one and all in a holiday mood.

Prosciutto-Wrapped Salmon with Fresh Herb Sauce AP photo

Prosciutto-Wrapped Salmon with Fresh Herb Sauce Start to finish: 55 minutes (40 minutes active) Servings: 4

Four 6-ounce skinless salmon fillets 2 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto Kosher salt and ground black pepper 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 4 cups packed fresh parsley leaves and thin stems, coarsely chopped 1/4 cup packed fresh tarragon leaves, coarsely chopped 1/2 cup heavy cream 1 teaspoon cornstarch 1/4 cup minced shallots 1 teaspoon lemon juice Heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with kitchen parchment.

Wrap the middle section of each of the salmon fillets with a quarter of the prosciutto slices. Season the exposed part of each fillet with salt and pepper.

In a large nonstick skillet over medium-high, heat the oil. Add the salmon, reduce the heat to medium, and brown the salmon on all 4 sides, about 3 minutes total. Transfer the salmon to the prepared baking sheet, retaining the skillet. Bake on the oven’s middle shelf until slightly undercooked at the center, about 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a blender combine the parsley, tarragon, 1/2 teaspoon salt, cream, cornstarch and 1/4 cup water. Blend until the mixture forms a smooth purée. Set aside.

Discard all but 1 tablespoon of the oil remaining in the skillet, then heat over medium.

Add the shallots and cook, stirring, until

softened, about 3 minutes. Add the purée and bring to a boil, stirring. Add the lemon juice, then season with salt and pepper. Simmer for 1 minute. If the sauce becomes too thick, add a little water.

Spoon some of the sauce into the center of 4 serving plates. Set one salmon fillet onto each. Serve immediately.

Buttery Yeast Rolls AP photo

Patience pays off when it comes to the best yeast rolls

By ELIZABETH KARMEL The Associated Press

I was one of those kids who loved camp. I loved being away. I loved all of the activities. And I loved the food.

Well, at least I loved the homemade yeast rolls that graced the table at every meal. I ate them in pairs, hot out of the oven, their tops salty with butter and the aroma so heady I would inhale as deeply as I could before devouring them. To this day, yeast rolls can transport me. They are like a warm blanket that envelopes you in pure comfort.

I have tried a lot of rolls in my adult life trying to find one that would come even close to my camp experience. But each one has come up short. That is, until I walked into the Harrison Smith House, a small restaurant in Bardstown, Kentucky.

Bardstown is famous for bourbon.

Several distilleries – including Jim Beam, Heaven Hill Distilleries and Maker’s Mark – operate in and around Bardstown. But it is now famous to me for the best yeast rolls I’ve had since camp. And believe me, they are worth the trip. But while you’re there, you also might as well partake in a little

Bourbon exploration.

The rolls are the handiwork of Josh Smouse, who is the chef de cuisine of the Harrison Smith House. Like the owners, Newman Miller and Justin Hughes, he previously cooked in Louisville and Chicago. The three have been friends, roommates and colleagues throughout their culinary careers. Now back in their home state of Kentucky, they are bringing a traveled palate to their Southern table.

But the rolls, offered as a side dish, never traveled out of state. Josh started making them first for his family at Christmas. He later decided to try them out at the restaurant, where he substituted them for the more common cornbread, and the rest is history. Smouse makes a minimum of 60 rolls a day, but my version of his recipe will produce a more reasonable 16. If you want to make more, no problem; the recipe doubles easily.

This recipe is pretty foolproof and doesn’t need very much attention or kneading. The real secret is patience, as you will have to go through four rises and lots of waiting to make these tender, flaky and delicate buttery yeast rolls. Just remember what your mother said: “Good things come to

those who wait.”

Buttery Yeast Rolls

Start to finish: 6 hours (30 minutes active) Makes 16 rolls 2¾ cups all-purpose flour 1/3 cup sugar 2 envelopes instant yeast 1 teaspoon kosher salt 1 cup whole milk 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature, cut into pieces, plus 1/2 cup (1 stick) salted butter, melted 2 egg yolks In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, yeast and salt. Set aside.

In the microwave or a small saucepan over low, heat the milk to 110 degrees F. Add the 6 tablespoons of unsalted butter and stir to combine and melt the butter. Once the butter is completely melted, whisk the egg yolks into the butter-milk mixture. Pour the liquid mixture into the dry mixture. Mix well to completely incorporate all ingredients. The dough will be loose and very sticky.

Once your dough is well combined, place a clean towel over the bowl and set it in a warm spot (such as over a heated oven) for 2

hours. After 2 hours, punch down the dough to deflate it, then knead in the bowl a few times. The dough will be sticky, but resist the urge to add any more flour. Gather all the dough into a nice ball and transfer to an oiled bowl. Cover with the towel and let rise again until doubled, about 2 hours.

Once doubled, portion into roughly sixteen 2-ounce (roughly 2-inch) pieces. Shape by rolling pieces of dough in a ball between your hands and stretching the top under the ball.

Place the dough balls on ungreased baking trays. Cover with a towel and allow to rise for 1 hour.

Heat the oven to 325 degrees F. Just before baking, brush the rolls with a bit of the melted butter. Bake for 15 minutes, then remove them from the oven, brush liberally with butter, then bake for another 10 minutes. Remove the rolls from the oven and brush once more with butter. Let the rolls rest on the pan for 20 to 30 minutes before serving.

Grapefruit Petite Sirloin

Stock Up Early And Save

EARLY

AP photo

By KATIE WORKMAN The Associated Press

Petite beef sirloin is a great cut of meat to get to know. It usually is less expensive than the larger filet mignon cuts – sometimes significantly – and it cooks up quite quickly.

The cut comes from the top sirloin, but these smaller pieces are flavorful and juicy, yet still lean. They usually are cut into 1½- to 2½-pound portions.

Once you get them home, they can be left whole or cut into smaller – but still substantial – filets. And even though this cut of beef is fairly tender to start with, a few hours in a grapefruit juicebased marinade makes it even more so.

Red grapefruits usually have more sweetness than the yellow varieties, and that’s underscored by the honey in this recipe. A bit of ginger and garlic provide some heat, and soy sauce gives it a lightly salty kick. The result is a recipe with a great balance of flavors that is extremely simple to throw together.

You can leave the filets in the marinade for up to eight hours, but no longer or the citrus in the marinade will tenderize the meat too much.

Serve this with some rice or couscous

and a salad or maybe some sautéed broccoli rabe.

Rex Stout, who wrote the Nero Wolfe novels, said, “To read of a detective’s daring finesse or ingenious stratagem is a rare joy.”

In today’s deal from Steve Conrad of Manhasset, New York, South is in three no-trump, faced with finesses in three suits. What is his optimum strategy?

This is the most common auction of all, leading to the most popular contract. But what is the least common contract?

South starts with five top tricks: one spade, two hearts, one diamond and one club. If both black-suit finesses are working, that would get his winner total up to nine. Or if both diamond honors are onside, that would also be good enough. But if a finesse loses, the defenders will presumably establish West’s heart suit.

Then, if West can regain the lead, he might cash too many tricks for declarer.

That suggests starting with the spade finesse, because the spade king is West’s only possible entry. But getting to the dummy for that finesse introduces other complications.

Much simpler is to take two diamond finesses. The first loses to East’s jack and a heart comes back, but South ducks that, wins the next heart, then -- key play -- runs the club queen. (Agreed, if declarer deduces who has which kings, this isn’t necessary, but it avoids guesswork.)

East takes that trick and shifts to a spade, but declarer wins with his ace, repeats the diamond finesse, and has nine tricks from one spade, two hearts, four diamonds and two clubs.

The least common contract is five no-trump, which has all of the risk for no gain.
