Good morning, McHenry County ...

Stevenson synonymous with McHenry County sports “Everyone knows Joe.”

Northwest Herald sportswriter Mike DeFabo wrote those words in a Saturday story about our colleague, Joe Stevenson.

The fact that everyone does seem to know him is a testament to the unbelievable job he’s done covering McHenry County sports for this newspaper since 1989.

This past weekend, Stevenson was inducted into the Illinois Basketball Coaches Association Hall of Fame during a banquet at Illinois State University in Normal.

No one I know could be more deserving of such an honor.

Stevenson estimates he’s covered about 5,500 sporting events in his more than 27 years on the job, most of them involving high school teams from McHenry County. He’s interviewed so many prep athletes over the years, at one point not too long ago someone created an “I was interviewed by Joe Stevenson” Facebook

Stevenson is the obvious choice to emcee the Northwest Herald’s inaugural Most Valuable Achievement awards show to be held June 7 at the Woodstock Opera House, which he will do along with reporter Mike DeFabo. At the event – which is presented by Buffalo Wild Wings and sponsored by Centegra Health System, Gary Lang Auto Group and BMO Harris Bank – we will honor the area’s top male and female prep athletes in fall, winter and spring sports and name our girls and boys athletes of the year.

More details on the event will be coming soon, but who better to present the awards than Stevenson.

MIAMI – Passengers set sail Sunday from Miami on a historic cruise to Cuba, the first in decades to depart from a U.S. seaport for the communist island nation.

Carnival Corp.’s 704-passenger Adonia left port at 4:24 p.m., bound for Havana. Carnival’s Cuba cruises, operating under its Fathom brand, also will visit the ports of Cienfuegos and Santiago de Cuba on the seven-day outing. Several Cuba-born passengers, among hundreds of others, were aboard, it said.

The cruise comes after Cuba loosened its policy banning Cuban-born people from arriving to the country by sea. The most recent such cruise, from another U.S. port, was in 1978.

CRISIS MANAGEMENT

McHenry County dispatchers talk job stress, ways to cope with trauma

By ALLISON GOODRICH agoodrich@shawmedia.com LAKE IN THE HILLS – A.J. Gazda has taught himself to erase the contents of his day when he presses the button to unlock his car after work.

Gazda is in his fifth year as an emergency dispatcher at the Lake in the Hills police communications center. On a daily basis, he gets calls from people not feeling well and those who have locked themselves out. But he also takes calls from distraught people threatening suicide and traumatized victims of tragic car wrecks.

“Every day, we live through other people’s emergencies,” he said. “The general public, they can go weeks without thinking about the police or calling 911. They can go weeks without thinking about their loved ones getting into a car accident.”

But not him. And according to a 2012 study published by Northern Illi-

“It’s gotten to a point where I press the button to unlock my car, and that’s like my erase button on a normal day.”

A.J. Gazda Emergency dispatcher at the Lake in the Hills police communications center nois University, the stress of it all can take a toll.

Co-published by NIU assistant professor of psychology Michelle Lilly and Lilly’s former student, Heather Pierce, the study is believed to be the first to reveal the extent of the on-duty emotional stress of emergency dispatchers.

Lilly said in an email her research found about 20 to 25 percent of telecommunicators report symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder that are severe enough to possibly warrant a clinical diagnosis.

“We know that PTSD can affect things like sleep, concentration, deci-

sion-making, energy level and basic beliefs/assumptions about the world,” Lilly wrote to the Northwest Herald.

“Needless to say, these disruptions can have a pretty profound effect on someone whose job requires intense focus and quick decision-making, such as in the case of telecommunicators.”

To keep his mind clear, Gazda has adopted certain habits he thinks helps.

“It’s gotten to a point where I press the button to unlock my car, and that’s like my erase button on a normal day,” he said. “The more emotional calls, those take more time to, kind of, erase – not erase, but I guess, to understand – and if I’m still thinking about it, I’ll

talk to my girlfriend or my mom, and if I’m still thinking about it days later, I’ll talk to somebody here [at the police station].”

The job is more than talking to the person on the other end of the call, said another Lake in the Hills dispatcher, Adriana Mendoza. It’s taking in someone else’s trauma while simultaneously and calmly gathering information for law enforcement to follow.

A dispatcher for 10 years, Mendoza said seeking help after dealing with the pressure and emotional stresses of the job is something all dispatchers should do on a daily basis.

A couple years ago, she was working on a day during which there were three deaths in three separate incidents. Without discussing what happened in detail, she recalled going home feeling OK considering everything she had heard that day.

McHenry County Board members set to have busy Tuesday agenda

By KEVIN P. CRAVER kcraver@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – A referendum, a countywide agency’s budget and the fate of land acquisition for the planned widening of Randall Road are some of the items on a packed agenda for the McHenry County Board.

Board members Tuesday plan to vote whether to put an advisory referendum on the Nov. 8 ballot that would ask voters if they would like to shrink the size of the County Board from its current 24 members, not counting the countywide elected chairman. The present version of the referendum does not cite a particular size – the original draft proposed halving the board to 12 members.

It passed through committee April 25 on a 6-0 recommendation. It will not be until after the 2020 U.S. Census that the

The McHenry County Board meets at 9 a.m.

Tuesday at the county Administration Building, 667 Ware Road, Woodstock.

County Board could put a binding referendum on the ballot, should members decide to do so.

The County Board also is set to approve the 2017 budget for the McHenry County Conservation District. The $27.1 million budget for the fiscal year that started April 1 is slightly larger than last year’s budget, but includes a tax levy that is $67,780 less.

The board can approve or reject the budget, but does not have the power under state law to amend it. State law gives conservation districts a three-month cushion

McHenry head-on crash sends 3 to hospital, fire official says

McHENRY – A head-on crash Sunday on Route 120 in McHenry sent two men and a girl to an area hospital with minor injuries, a fire official said.

The McHenry Township Fire Protection District was dispatched about 9:45 a.m. to the 4100 block of Route 120 for a crash involving a minivan and a car, Lt. David Reid said.

Both drivers and a passenger, who Reid said were outside of the vehicles by the time emergency responders arrived, were taken to Centegra Hospital – McHenry with minor injuries.

Reid said both vehicles were towed from the scene. He did not have information about the ages or towns of residence for the passenger or drivers.

McHenry police also responded to the crash, but could not immediately be reached for comment.

to go without a budget in case their respective county boards vote it down.

Members also are scheduled to discuss a proposal to spend another $10 million on land acquisition to widen and improve Randall Road between Crystal Lake and Algonquin, and upgrade its intersection with Algonquin Road. A resolution to free up the money for the project has struggled to make it out of committee.

The Randall Road discussion is one of two major transportation issues on the agenda. Board members also will vote on their annual five-year transportation improvement program, a nonbinding planning tool to guide and prioritize upcoming road projects. The plan did not get a favorable vote coming out of the Transportation Committee, and some board members likely will make an effort on the floor Tuesday to remove the Randall Road project.

Voter advocacy groups to host home rule event

By KATIE DAHLSTROM

kdahlstrom@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – In response to a special census that could result in Woodstock’s recognized population growing above 25,000 and giving the city home-rule status, a taxpayer advocacy group will give a presentation about the effect home rule could have on the community.

Taxpayers United of America President Jim Tobin will present “Home Rule is Home Ruin” at 7 p.m. May 11 at the Woodstock Public Library, 414 W. Judd St. The presentation will examine what changes home rule brings and how they affect local taxpayers.

“Given that dramatic change, we felt it was important to bring this to the residents.”

Joe Tirio Voters in Action founder and Republican candidate for McHenry County recorder

The home rule designation gives local government more control over matters ranging from taxation to licensing to regulating the protection of the public health, according to the Illinois Constitution.

Voters in Action requested Tobin’s

presentation, said Joe Tirio, founder and Republican candidate for McHenry County recorder. The group has become a vocal critic of home rule based on its effect on the city’s ability to create and raise taxes.

“Given that dramatic change, we felt it was important to bring this to the residents,” Tirio said.

Woodstock city officials have responded to concerns by saying it would be irresponsible of them to not take advantage of getting the extra $151 in shared state revenue per person for the city, and that the city has a history of keeping taxes low for residents by not taking the property tax extension limitation law.

The Lake in the Hills Police Department has a social services person on staff who makes herself available to dispatchers at all times, Mendoza said. Debriefings after crisis situations, which now include dispatchers, also can help to de-stress, she added.

The Woodstock Police Department recently hosted a training session focused on coping with mental and emotional stress for area officers and dispatchers. The presenter was Timothy Perry, president and founder of 10-41 Inc., an organization that works primarily with law enforcement and firefighting agencies to help responders with stress management, among other things.

The eight-hour course focused on emotional intelligence, resiliency and perspective, Perry said, adding the program originally was designed for police officers, but later expanded to include dispatchers, firefighters, coroners and chaplains.

For Jeremy Morris, a dispatcher turned supervisor for the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office, leaning on co-workers is what really has helped after his most stressful call.

When O’Connor moves east to attend the Ivy League school this fall, he will become the first Prairie Ridge graduate to attend Yale.

O’Connor credits his parents, who encouraged him to pursue his passions, with supporting his quest to get into his dream school. He also credits his college counselor, Paula Steiner, for helping him through the college application process and opening up opportunities.

He recently sat down with reporter Caitlin Swieca to talk about the college application process, his high school experience and his plans for the future.

You have to provide them with all of your extracurriculars, all of your grades, all of your test scores. That’s a big part of it, too. And then teacher recommendations, counselor applications.

I started Aug. 1, right when the Common Application was released. I didn’t submit my application for Yale until Nov. 1. Lots of revision, lots of tweaking went into the process.

Yale had its own school-specific application on top of the Common Application, where I had to talk about why I wanted to go to Yale, I had to write an essay about a specific passion I had that would fit in their community, I had to write about my academic interests. Each college has its own supplemental essay. I was writing a lot of essays.

Swieca: Did it end up being a close

decision to go to Yale?

O’Connor: It did end up being close.

Yale and Notre Dame were the two schools I was considering. When it came down to it, the community and the environment and the opportunities I would get at Yale just outnumbered Notre Dame.

Swieca: What was it like getting that email?

O’Connor: They actually have a fun

little portal you open where the Yale fight song plays when you get accepted. We were all pretty shocked because we weren’t expecting it.

I was talking with my parents the night before. We were like, “Whatever happens, I’m pretty proud of what I’ve accomplished so far. This really doesn’t define me as a person.” But opening that decision was pretty nice, I’m not going to lie. We were all pretty surprised.

Swieca: Obviously, you have a passion for music and theater. Do you know what you want to major in at Yale?

O’Connor: I don’t want to major in

music and theater. I do want to continue it extracurricularly. Of all the schools I was looking at, Yale has the best fine arts extracurricular scene.

They’re actually the founding

school of collegiate a cappella groups.

They have about 14 or 15 ensembles there. Every summer, they do a rush, like a sorority rush, except for a cappella groups. I’m really excited to get involved in that.

I’m thinking of majoring in Ethics, Economics and Politics. It’s a single major, three subject fields. Those topics have always interested me. I haven’t been able to take classes on ethics, economics or politics in high school because there’s not many offerings, but I’m excited to just delve in.

The great thing about Yale is only a third of your classes are in your major, and you have about a year and a half worth of courses you can use to just explore and just try out new things.

Swieca: Is it cool to be the first Yale attendee from Prairie Ridge?

O’Connor: It’s pretty awesome. I

really hope that in the coming years, more and more kids can get accepted through these top school. Prairie Ridge, I think it’s an amazing academic community.

I think you’re not going to find teachers and administrators who care more about their students at any other high school. I think you find students

County officials to host Drug Court graduation NORTHWEST HERALD

WOODSTOCK – In celebration of “National Drug Court Month,” the 22nd Judicial Circuit Adult Drug Court will hold a commencement ceremony at 6:30 p.m. May 10 in Courtroom 204 of the McHenry County Government Center.

McHenry Police Chief John Jones and McHenry County State’s Attorney Louis Bianchi will be keynote speakers as part of the program.

McHenry County Circuit Judge Charles P. Weech will present graduation certificates to those individuals who have successfully completed the program.

This is the court’s seventh ceremony since it was founded in 2011. Ten men and women are expected to be among this year’s graduates. The ceremony marks their completion of an intensive program of comprehensive substance use treatment, close supervision and full accountability.

“National Drug Court Month” is coordinated on a national level by the National Association of Drug Court Professionals. This year, Drug Courts throughout the nation are celebrating National Drug Court Month with the theme: “Criminal Justice Reform in Action.”

Court officials said the ceremony is evidence of the tremendous effect

the 22nd Circuit Adult Drug Court has had on the community and will send a powerful message that Drug Courts are a proven budget solution that saves lives, families and state resources.

Today, 2,966 treatment courts are in operation in all 50 states and U.S. territories, successfully treating close to 150,000 substance addicted individuals each year. Since 1989, these courts have saved more than 1.4 million lives and billions of tax dollars, officials said. Research continues to show that Drug Courts work better than jail or prison, better than probation, and better than treatment alone, court officials said.

According to government statistics, nationally, 75 percent of individuals who complete Drug Court are not rearrested. Since its inception, the 22nd Circuit Adult Drug Court has recorded a 12 percent recidivism rate from those who have participated.

Nationally, Drug Courts have been found to save up to $13,000 for every individual they serve and return as much as $27 for every $1 invested. A cost benefit analysis of the 22nd Circuit’s Adult Drug Court was found to cost about $8,000 per offender as opposed to incarceration costs, which are estimated anywhere between $25,000 and $38,000 a year, court officials said.

Pricing tips for local innovators Developing a new product that will change the world? Congratulations, you innovator, you!

Those who have gone before you know many questions arise when the genius in you does something that gains new footing in the marketplace. Not the least of these questions is, “How to set the right price?”

Ah – the mystery, the wild, wild west of the pricing world that awaits a new product. Yet as Money Magazine in its August 2015 issue observed, “getting the pricing right is extremely important, or none of us will remain in business for long.”

How to find that right price?

First of all, assess your costs. These include tangibles such as parts that make the new product, plus intangibles such as getting the product marketed and, of course, salaries and other employee costs.

Look at your competition. If the product is completely built from scratch or a new design, this is a bit complex; but, realistically, most new designs are adaptations of others, with the adaptation just being plain better.

WWW.sba.gov/sizeup is a great little tool to see who your competitors are; and with that information, you just may wish to do a bit of covert shopping. This will help you gain an idea of how your competition is priced and if your product offers something distinctive enough to be offered at a higher price or if it needs to stay at a similar rate.

Establish your value. There are two ways to look at this. You can charge a premium – but high quality, uniqueness and great customer service are essential here. You can charge less and rely on volume. Money Magazine suggests that a focus group of potential clients and friends assembled could aid you in determining the marketability for your product.

Most of all, your product may fail.

Remember Steve Jobs’ Apple Lisa presented in 1983? Only 100,000 of these cuties sold, largely because of design flaws. Let’s think where Apple is today. Why? Because it did not give up in 1983 and continued to innovate and innovate on the innovations.

All the best to those who enhance our lives by continuing to introduce new ideas and products into the marketplace.

HONOLULU – Tommy Kono, who took up weightlifting in an internment camp for Japanese-Americans and went on to win two Olympic gold medals for the United States, has died.

He was 85.

Kono died Sunday in Honolulu, the U.S. Olympic Committee announced.

His daughter, JoAnn Sumida, told The New York Times the cause was hepatic encephalopathy caused by cirrhosis of the liver.

He was born Tamio Kono in Sacramento, California in 1930. Kono was a frail, asthmatic 14-year-old when a neighbor first gave him a dumbbell at the Tule Lake internment center in Northern California, where he lived with his family for most of World War II. He packed on 15 pounds of muscle by the time he left the camp in 1945.

“I didn’t want to be a weightlifter,” Kono said in 1960, according to the Times. “I just want to be healthy.”

Before his weightlifting career, Kono went to high school and college

• ON THE RECORD

Continued from page A7 who are really passionate as well.

I’m kind of hoping this opens the door for future students to get in.

It’s a little bit nerve wracking, going out there alone. Not many kids from here go out East. But I’m excited at the same time.

Swieca: What advice do you have for students who are about to go through the college application process?

in Sacramento and was drafted into the Army.

Kono would become one of the sport’s greatest champions, winning golds in Helsinki in 1952 and Melbourne in 1956. He also won a silver medal at the 1960 games in Rome and six straight world championships in the 1950s. At various times he held 20 world records, according to the International Weightlifting Federation.

That organization named him “Lifter of the Century” on its 100th anniversary in 2005.

In the same period, he competed as a bodybuilder winning the title Mr. Universe three times.

Kono said Arnold Schwarzenegger once cited him as an inspiration.

“He told me he was a 13-year-old boy in the audience that day and was so inspired he ran home and started working out,” Kono told the Sacramento Bee in 2005.

Kono later became a coach of Olympic weightlifting teams for three different countries, including the U.S. team that competed in Montreal in 1976. sions counselor from Yale actually wrote me a nice letter saying she was very happy to see that I was just so excited about my extracurriculars and what I was involved in in high school.

I’d say that whatever you’re doing, in class or outside of class, just make sure that it’s what you love and you’re doing it because you love it, not because of college. I certainly didn’t gear any of my extracurriculars towards college applications.

I just wanted to do what excited me, what made me happy, what made me smile at the end of the day because I got to participate in it.

In Memory of

Laura Johnson Melms May 2, 1965 – August 3, 2006 Not a day goes by that we don’t think of you.

We thank you for the gift your living brought to each of us.

STATE For some, Chicago State flawed but final shot at degree

By DAVID MERCER

Robert Bionaz, an associate professor of history at Chicago State University, lectures during a class April 12 at the university in Chicago.

The Associated Press CHICAGO – Most of the more than 4,000 students at Chicago State University on the city’s south side are black, have low incomes and, like their school, face often uncertain paths toward better futures.

A $600 million stopgap spending measure for Illinois public universities that Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner signed last week helped put the campus on firmer financial ground, but even the $20 million for Chicago State wasn’t enough to keep the school from laying off more than 300 employees, about a third of its workforce.

Even with its uncertain future, Chicago State represents the best chance forward for many of its students, they and experts agree.

The list of the questions facing the school on Chicago’s South Side has grown since last summer, when the state stopped providing money to its nine public universities due to the budget stalemate. The school at one point talked about possible closure, declared a form of academic bankruptcy and sent layoff notices to all of its employees before it cut the 300 jobs Friday.

Before the budget mess, Chicago State already was considered the worst-performing of the state’s public universities.

Only 21 percent of its students earn

City announces plans to build Navy Pier hotel by 2018

CHICAGO – The city of Chicago said construction will begin next year on the first hotel at the popular tourist attraction, Navy Pier.

Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s office released details about the planned hotel Sunday.

A mayor’s office statement said the project will be developed and operated by a national hotel management company, First Hospitality Group Inc. The building’s projected to cost around $90 million. It’s slated

a degree within six years, according to the U.S. Department of Education. At Eastern Illinois University, that figure is 60 percent. And at the University of Illinois’ flagship campus, it is 84 percent.

State audits regularly have turned up financial mismanagement in recent years, and enrollment has declined.

Chicago State also is more reliant on the state than any of Illinois’ other public universities, getting about 30 percent of its funding through annual appropriations. That doesn’t include the financial aid that most of its students use to help pay tuition – money that also is held up by the state budget situation.

The student body doesn’t look like those found at the other state universities. Three-quarters of the students are

to open in 2018.

A statement from the mayor’s office said the hotel is part of a redevelopment plan for the 100-year-old site. Emanuel said the hotel is one part of an overall goal to entice 55 million visitors a year to Chicago by 2020.

The hotel will be on the east end of Navy Pier and will have more than 200 guest rooms.

Races back on at Arlington Park after legal dispute settled

ARLINGTON HEIGHTS – Opening day at Arlington International Racecourse is back on following an agreement to resolve a lawsuit that threatened the summer horse racing season at the track.

An agreement was announced Friday between a facility formerly known as Arlington Park

black, and almost three-quarters are women. More than half are 25 or older; and many, if not most, have transferred from other schools after struggling elsewhere.

“I’ve seen lots of them come unprepared for college work,” said Robert Bionaz, an associate professor of history.

“These are bright people who, in many cases, have seen life intervene.”

Bionaz is among the many people on campus who roll their eyes about some of the campus’ low-slung, tan buildings, many based on geometric shapes that can yield odd floor plans.

But the campus tucked into a part of the city with chronically high levels of unemployment and crime represents a chance, sometimes the last chance, for

and the Illinois Thoroughbred Horsemen’s Association.

The association had sued the track, the Illinois Racing Board and the Illinois Thoroughbred Breeders and Owners Foundation in federal court April 18 over what it alleged were plans to replace the association with a different breeders group.

The suit led track officials to lock the gates at the track.

However, the summer racing season now is scheduled to start Friday as planned.

Illinois man crushed by garbage dies in landfill accident

ROCKFORD – The death of a 54-year-old man buried under the weight of a tipped-over garbage truck and its contents at a Rockford landfill is under investigation by a federal workplace safety agency.

many students.

“Honestly, this is like people’s last resort, last choice,” said Denzel Tucker, a senior physics major who transferred to Chicago State from the Illinois Institute of Technology, where a year of tuition is more than $40,000. Chicago State charges $6,000 a year.

Although Bionaz is a regular critic of school administration, he said measures such as low graduation rates miss the point.

“I had a woman who had a full-time job in law office downtown. It took her 8½ years to graduate,” he said, citing a case he said illustrates the unusual nature of the school’s students.

And Chicago State does graduate students – as many as 1,000 a year in recent years, such as those in dark-green gowns who collected diplomas Thursday.

Alternatives, even within the city, are few and often unrealistic for students at the school, said University of Illinois associate professor of higher education Jennifer Delaney. She grew up on the South Side.

Private schools such as Roosevelt University in downtown Chicago are not far away, but Roosevelt’s $28,000 annual tuition means it isn’t an option for most. And even the cheaper options in the city are less likely to work out simply because they are not on the South Side, where many of the students are from, she said.

The Dixon Telegraph reported that Gonzalo Trevino Sr. died Thursday at the Winnebago Landfill. Authorities said the garbage truck contained 80,000 pounds of concrete, steel, wood and other building debris.

The U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration is investigating the accident. The Winnebago County coroner said Trevino was killed by blunt force to the abdomen and chest.

New Milford Fire Chief Alan Carlson said Trevino was unloading a garbage truck when the load from a second truck shifted.

Champaign police officer waives jury in sex assault case

CHAMPAIGN – A Champaign police officer charged with sex crimes involving three women

in two counties has waived his right to a jury trial in one of the cases, which was set to start this week.

The News-Gazette reported that 31-year-old Jerad Gale made the request Friday in a Piatt County case. He is charged with two counts of criminal sexual assault involving a 27-yearold woman with whom he lived in Monticello; that trial was scheduled to begin Monday.

Defense attorney Evan Bruno declined to discuss whether Gale and local prosecutors are discussing a plea deal in lieu of a trial.

The 2014 Champaign police officer of the year is also charged with criminal sexual assault and aggravated domestic battery against former girlfriends in two separate Champaign County cases.

U.S. once again forced to turn to Russia for help with Syria

By MATTHEW LEE The Associated Press GENEVA – Scrambling to resuscitate a nearly dead truce in Syria, the Obama administration has again been forced to turn to Russia for help, with little hope for the desired U.S. outcome.

At stake are thousands of lives and the fate of a feeble peace process essential to the fight against the Islamic State group, and Secretary of State John Kerry has appealed once more to his Russian counterpart for assistance in containing and reducing the violence, particularly around city of Aleppo.

“We are talking directly to the Russians, even now,” Kerry said on his arrival in Geneva as he began talks with Jordanian Foreign Minister Nasser Judeh. “The hope is we can make some progress, but the UN Security Council Resolution calls for a full country, countrywide, cessation and also for all of the country to be accessible to humanitarian assistance.

Obviously that hasn’t happened and isn’t happening.”

“These are critical hours.

We look for Russia’s cooperation. We obviously look for the regime to listen to Russia and to respond to the international communities’ powerful statement to the UN Security Council.”

Kerry spoke at length Friday with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov to that end, and had been hoping to meet with Lavrov soon, according to U.S. officials.

In Geneva, Kerry met with Judeh and was to meet U.N. envoy Staffan de Mistura and Saudi Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir on Monday before returning to Washington.

But Lavrov was not expected to be in Geneva, complicating Kerry’s efforts to make the case directly to the Russians for more pressure on their Syrian government allies to stop or at least limit attacks in Aleppo.

The State Department said Kerry, in his meetings, would “review ongoing efforts to reaffirm the cessation of hostilities nationwide in Syria, obtain the full humanitarian access to which the Syrian government committed and

support a political transition.”

Specific, viable options to achieve those broad goals are limited, and Friday’s announcement of a new, partial cease-fire that does not include Aleppo underscored the difficulty Kerry faced.

U.S. and other officials described that initiative, brokered mainly by Russia and the United States as co-chairs of the International Syria Support Group, as a “reinforcement” of the February truce, now largely in tatters, that they hope to extend from Damascus and the capital’s suburbs and the coastal province of Latakia to other areas.

“This is an agreement within the task force, but certainly on the part of the U.S. and Russia that there would be a reinforcement of the cessation of hostilities in these specific areas as a start, with the expectation that this ... would be then extended elsewhere,” State Department spokesman Mark Toner said.

Syria’s military extended a unilateral cease-fire around the capital for another 24 hours on Sunday.

Bond meets Colt: Seeking to build a safer gun

By LISA MARIE PANE

Jonathan Mossberg, whose iGun Technology Corp. is working to develop a “smart gun,” poses with the firearm April 7 in Daytona Beach, Fla.

The Associated Press DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – Jonathan Mossberg is among a small number of pioneers looking to build a safer gun.

But unlike many others, he was in the gun business when he started down that path.

His family is renowned for its premier line of shotguns treasured by law enforcement, hunters and the military.

Mossberg already has spent more than a decade working to develop – and someday bring to the market – a firearm the wrong person cannot fire. It is intended to work without fail in the hands of its owner in a life-or-death situation.

“We’re gun people, so we know when you pick up a gun you want to shoot it,” Mossberg said. “You don’t want to swipe your finger. You don’t want to talk to it. In an emergency situation, you want to pick it up and use it.”

Mossberg’s iGun Technology Corp., based in Daytona Beach, Florida, relies on a simple piece of jewelry – a ring – that “talks” to a circuit board embedded in a firearm to let it know the user is authorized. The ring must be within centimeters of the gun for the gun to fire.

The road to a safer gun has been long. Initial efforts encountered a pub-

lic wary of the technology, but that has eased as iPhones, tablets and other smart devices have become common.

Mossberg isn’t the only one attempting to bring a bit of James Bond to firearms.

Others are exploring biometrics, such as an iPhone lock that opens with your fingerprint. Some rely on radio-frequency identification, or RFID, technology, proximity sensors similar to the system Mossberg’s company uses. Some use watches to send a signal to the firearm.

They’ve had varying degrees of suc-

cess, but none has been broadly marketed so far.

On Friday, Obama announced new steps to curb gun violence, including by identifying the requirements “smart guns” would have to meet for law enforcement agencies to buy and use them.

“As long as we’ve got the technology to prevent a criminal from stealing and using your smartphone, then we should be able to prevent the wrong person from pulling a trigger on a gun,” Obama said on Friday.

The departments of Justice and Homeland Security said in a report

Friday that they expect to complete the work of identifying the smart-gun requirements by October.

“The technologies are a reality now,” said Stephen Teret, a professor of health policy and management at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health who studies gun violence and gun policies. “There are obstacles still in getting those technologies into guns and getting guns into the civilian marketplace.”

Among them is cost. Modernizing gun manufacturing would mean higher prices for smart weapons.

Then there’s politics. The industry is concerned that success with the technology would encourage the government to mandate it.

And the powerful gun lobby raises red flags about reliability. What happens if the firearm isn’t syncing with the radio signal or the fingerprint isn’t recognized? In a crisis, seconds are precious.

“If you need it to protect yourself and it doesn’t work, that’s a bad outcome,” said Larry Keane, senior vice president and general counsel for the National Shooting Sports Foundation, which represents manufacturers. “Reliability is everything ... If your iPhone doesn’t work, you’re inconvenienced. You’re not dead.”

“Keratoconus” is a progressive eye disease that causes the normally round cornea to weaken and begin to bulge into a cone-like shape. As a result, keratoconus sufferers experience visual distortions such as ghosting, multiple images, glare, halos, starbursts around lights, and blurred vision. While new treatment options for keratoconus have emerged over the past decade, many people are not diagnosed early enough to take full advantage of them. This led researchers to look at data from health insurance claims, half of which involved patients with keratoconus and half with similar symptoms. They found that men, African-Americans and Latinos, as well as people with asthma, sleep apnea, or Down syndrome have much higher odds of developing keratoconus and should be screened.

P.S. The study mentioned above also showed that females, Asian-Americans, and people with diabetes have a lower risk of developing keratoconus.

The early detection of glaucoma is key to controlling its progression and preventing further damage.

WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama’s daughter Malia will take a year off after graduating high school in June before enrolling at Harvard University in 2017, a year later than had been widely expected, the president and his wife said in a long-awaited announcement Sunday.

Harvard encourages admitted students to defer for one year to travel, pursue a special project or activity, work or spend time in another meaningful way. The student must not enroll in a program at another college that would grant the student a degree.

Malia, who turns 18 in July, is the elder of the Obamas’ two daughters.

She is a senior at the exclusive Sidwell Friends school in the District of Columbia, which claims another first daughter, Chelsea Clinton, among its alumni.

Malia is set to graduate high school in June. Her sister, Sasha, 14, is a freshman at Sidwell.

Obama has talked about dreading the day when Malia leaves for college.

Her decision to take a gap year could keep her closer to home as her family prepares for the major transition coming next year: leaving the White House and returning to private life. Obama plans to live in Washington for a few more years so Sasha can finish high school. The president and his wife, Michelle, still own a home in Chicago.

Gap years are more common in Europe and Australia than in the U.S., according to the Portland, Oregon-based American Gap Association. But a growing number of gap year programs suggest increasing popularity in the U.S. “It’s definitely gaining momentum,” said Ethan Knight, the association’s executive director, citing increased interest from high school students. “Students go to college more satisfied and engaged, and universities often see these students become leaders on campus.”

The first lady has said Malia wants to be a filmmaker. She has interned on the set of HBO’s “Girls” and on a now-canceled network TV sci-fi drama that starred Halle Berry. Malia has also had internships at the Smithsonian’s National Zoo in Washington.

Burning wood not the answer Senators patted themselves on the back last week after passing a wide-ranging energy bill, a feat that seems amazing given the partisanship on Capitol Hill and the deep divisions between the parties on fossil fuels in particular. But the hype was too good to be true: The bill has at least one glaring flaw that must be changed before President Obama considers signing it.

There is a lot to like in the bill and the process that led to its passage. Lawmakers put aside major points of contention and moved forward with items they could agree on – or at least live with. The bill authorizes hefty increases in the energy research budget. It includes programs to make buildings more energy-efficient. It would harden the electrical system against cyberattacks and make the grid more capable of taking on new sources of renewable power. The bill would also speed approvals of natural gas export facilities, which will not please some environmentalists but is nevertheless a net positive step. In return, the bill gives environmentalists a permanent reauthorization of the Land and Water Conservation Fund, which directs federal oil and gas royalties toward preserving natural landscapes.

But the bill also would command the Environmental Protection Agency to “recognize biomass” – that is, plant matter such as wood harvested from forests – “as a renewable energy source” because of its “carbon-neutrality.” This is a rank example of Congress legislating science rather than allowing agency experts to make determinations based on facts, and the results could be very bad for the environment.

Burning wood produces carbon dioxide emissions; the case for treating biomass energy as carbon-neutral is that, as plants grow back, they recapture carbon dioxide from the air. Yet burning biomass releases a lot of CO2 into the atmosphere all at once, and plant regrowth takes time.

Meanwhile, scientists warn that the planet could reach climate tipping points soon. This alone is reason not to treat biomass and, say, wind energy as equivalent.

Moreover, trees will continue growing, sequestering carbon dioxide all along, if they are not harvested for energy, which calls into question the net carbon benefits of chopping them down and growing new ones.

Sixty-five experts warned senators in February against including the biomass language in the bill, predicting that it would “promote deforestation in the U.S. and elsewhere and make climate change much worse.” Lawmakers should have listened to these experts and left the science to the EPA.

ANOTHER VIEW

Health care access in rural areas Often prohibitive costs to patients isn’t the only health care crisis in the U.S. In rural areas, mostly poor ones, the crisis isn’t just about the affordability of medical care, but about having access to it at all.

In emergencies, that can be literally a life-or-death issue. Yet all across the country, rural hospitals are finding it hard, and sometimes impossible, to stay open.

U.S. Sen. Johnny Isakson, R-Ga., is one of four principal sponsors of a bipartisan Senate bill that would revise what its supporters say is an ill-conceived system of Medicare support.

The Fair Medicare Hospital Payment Act of 2016 (S.2832), according to a Senate news release, would adjust “disproportionately low Medicare reimbursement payments to hospitals in rural and low-wage areas.”

Isakson, a member of the Senate Finance Committee, and

co-sponsor Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn., both call it a “flawed formula”; another co-sponsor, Mark Warner, D-Va., calls it a “skewed payment system” that exacerbates the challenges of hospitals in poor rural areas. “Under the current system,” said Sen. Sherrod Brown of Ohio, the other Democrat among the four principal sponsors of the legislation, “many hospitals are paid less for the same lifesaving care they provide as their counterparts in other states across the country.”

The bill would create a national “area wage index” based on the relative wage level in a hospital’s geographic region as compared to the national average, and adjust Medicare reimbursements accordingly.

William T. Richardson, President of Tift Regional Health System, told the Albany Herald that Medicare “uses a wage index to calculate the costs of labor as-

sociated with hospital services for Medicare patients – so hospitals in areas with a low cost of living get less than the hospitals in areas with a high cost of living. This hits hospitals serving rural areas the hardest.”

Probably the cruelest irony of all in this formula is the self-reinforcing damage it does. One of the organizations endorsing the bill is the National Rural Health Association; as its CEO Alan Morgan wrote in a letter to Isakson, the existing reimbursement formula penalizes doctors who practice in underserved communities. One sure way to make a rural health crisis self-perpetuating is a builtin reason for medical professionals not to go where they’re needed.

Every now and then, something comes to Washington’s attention that actually transcends partisan politics. This bill is a welcome result.

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.

She may have put more work into the ditty than went into Trump’s foreign policy presentation, but it sure was more cringe-inducing.

Fiorina’s musical interlude was intended to humanize Cruz but the stiffness and incongruity almost had the opposite effect of making his campaign seem more scripted, robotic and desperate.

Early on, Cruz was afraid to criticize Trump, betting that the mogul would flame out and that he would inherit his supporters. Now, Cruz’s every breath is aimed at casting Trump out of the race, the human one if he could. Cruz knows how to hate. That’s one reason that almost anyone who has worked with him – except for a few colleagues holding their noses in their effort to stop Trump – can’t bring themselves to support him. On Wednesday, speaking at Stanford University, former Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, called Cruz “Lucifer in the flesh.”

Like Trump’s speech, Cruz’s announcement Wednesday afternoon was not off the cuff. He “thought long and hard” and sought counsel from “prayer” before picking Fiorina among the many who may have been clamoring to be called to serve with him in his make-believe administration.

If Trump has Christie, Cruz now has a failed Mistress of the Universe (fired from Hewlett-Packard) and unsuccessful candidate for the Senate in California in 2010 at his side. When asked if he would follow Cruz’s lead, Trump said, absolutely not. Even for the mercurial reality-television star, selecting a vice president at this stage is too out-there.

With his unremarkable speech, Trump still trumped Cruz for the day. Critics held their fire.

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, R-Georgia, once a critic, tweeted nice things. Even Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tennessee, the serious chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, complimented him, saying that Trump “delivered a very good foreign policy speech.”

The capitulation started last week when party officials at the Republican National Committee’s spring meeting in Florida began quietly, if torturously, explaining how they might, just might, accept the unthinkable and go with the Donald. Since then, resistance has continued to crumble. Trump is rolling down the track and delegates will be scrambling to get on board.

Indiana and California are not walls, but a door opening unto the Cleveland convention.

What a day: On Wednesday, we got to see Texas Sen. Ted Cruz introduce his imaginary friend and vice-presidential pick, Carly Fiorina, to jump-start his imaginary path to the White House. We were also treated to Donald Trump’s jumbled foreign policy speech that invoked the Nazi-appeasing America First movement of the 1930s.

Hours after Trump’s clean sweep of five Northeastern states, he was at the Mayflower Hotel in Washington to finally put flesh on the bones of his foreign policy. Much was made of his using a teleprompter, but it was still sketchy: “ISIS will be gone,” he promised without saying how. And he reprised some old favorites: “Instead of taking charge that night, Hillary Clinton decided to go home and sleep,” he said of the attacks on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi. He’ll build up the military without spending a dime. He’ll punish China with tariffs but rely on it to rein in North Korea.

There was nothing in the speech to mollify the dozens of top Republicans who wrote an open letter last month calling Trump’s positions “wildly inconsistent and unmoored in principle.”

But the fickle finger of campaign coverage moved on so quickly that critics were hardly heard from before Cruz was gearing up for his moment in the limelight, which was bizarre even by the standards of this campaign. Hours after getting trounced in five more primaries, Cruz was teasing “an important announcement.”

That turned out to be his choice of Fiorina, which was supposed to counteract that “the mainstream media, the New York media executives and the Washington lobbyists are all trying to tell the American people the race is over.”

That might be because it is. Cruz can hunt and peck his way through various state delegations picking up strays, but there is no longer any way for him to amass the 1,237 delegates he needs to clinch the nomination before the convention. His pact with Ohio Gov. John Kasich, the adult in the race, may hold and leave Indiana open, but it is unlikely to help. Trump has a big lead in Hoosier land. He trotted out the mythical basketball coach Bobby Knight (the day after Cruz called a basketball net a ring instead of a rim), and continued to pick up unbound delegates.

Look at the unbounds in Pennsylvania. They don’t have to bind themselves to Trump but are doing so anyway. Among unbounds in other states, there is a trickle now going to Trump.

As we get closer to July, it will be a flood. Party insiders don’t want to be left outside.

As spectacles go, Cruz’s unveiling of his vice president was up there with Clinton’s claim to be dead broke, New Jersey Gov. Christie’s hammering of Florida Sen. Marco Rubio for being repetitive, Rubio’s small-hands innuendo about Trump, and Howard Dean’s scream.

Wednesday will long be remembered for Fiorina breaking into a song about Cruz’s daughters. To the tune of Irving Berlin’s “You’re

Steps to combat burning mouth Dear Dr. K: For some time, I’ve had a burning and tingling in my mouth. My dentist and doctor seem to be mystified.

What could be causing my symptoms, and what can I do?

Dear Reader: Several things might be causing these bothersome symptoms. Some that come to mind are nutritional deficiencies – particularly of B vitamins, iron and zinc. These problems can be detected by simple blood tests.

Medicines that cause the mouth to become dry (due to decreased saliva production) can result in mouth irritation.

There are too many of these medicines to list here, but check a reliable website that provides information about the drugs you may be taking and their side effects.

Sometimes a person can develop an allergy to dentures and related adhesive creams, toothpastes or mouthwashes, which can cause irritation of the tissues of the mouth. You can experiment by seeing what happens when you stop using one of these potential allergy triggers (and substituting a different brand). One particular brand of toothpaste once caused such symptoms in me.

Conditions that damage small nerves, such as diabetes, can cause mouth pain.

So can mouth infections, particularly with fungus (yeast).

There also is a condition called burning mouth syndrome (BMS) that produces a burning – sometimes scalding – sensation on the lips and tongue and throughout the mouth. In BMS, the pain is present for at least some part of every day, the tissues of the mouth look normal (not irritated or inflamed) to the doctor or dentist, and the conditions I have mentioned already are not present. So that may explain why your dentist and doctor are mystified.

We don’t know what causes BMS. Some

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff think it is a psychiatric condition, but I’m dubious about that. I think when doctors don’t understand the cause of a person’s symptoms, we sometimes think (and say to our patient) the symptoms are just imaginary.

That may make us feel better, but it doesn’t make the patient feel so great. And if there really is a problem that we’re ignoring, we have failed.

If I had to bet on what causes BMS, it would be this: subtle damage of the main nerve that detects pain in the mouth, the trigeminal nerve. Indeed, one study provides support for that theory.

Low doses of tricyclic drugs, certain medicines often used for seizures and some pain-killing medicines and creams applied directly to the parts of your mouth that hurt all may help.

There are steps you can take to reduce your mouth discomfort. The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research recommends the following to keep symptoms at bay: • Sip water frequently.

• Suck on ice chips.

• Avoid irritating substances: hot, spicy foods; mouthwashes with alcohol; and acid foods such as citrus fruits and juices.

• Chew sugarless gum.

• Avoid alcohol and tobacco.

I’ll bet one of these remedies will help.

Your problem should not be dismissed.

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

want your friend to do if the situation were reversed, and you were the person with the bed-wetting problem? Friends communicate with each other. Talk privately with this person. Say you think there “may” be a problem and urge him to discuss it with a urologist.

There is help for bed-wetters – medications, as well as mechanical devices – that in many cases can fix the problem. But only if the sufferers – and bed-wetters do suffer – know help is available and are willing to ask for it.

Dear Abby: I have been dating “Miles” for two years. He will move in with me soon. Miles has two sons from his previous marriage. He loves them and sees them regularly.

I can’t help but feel a little jealous because he makes a huge effort to be with his kids as often as possible, entertaining them and taking them to nice restaurants. The issue I have is Miles and I never go out. We have never been on vacation or had a weekend date. Our dates consist of eating a sandwich or me cooking. Is it normal to feel a little jealous, or should I call him out on it? – At The Foot Of The List Dear Foot Of The List: Miles appears to be a good father, but your feelings are understandable and they should be discussed with Miles before he moves in. In romantic relationships, there is a certain degree of “courtship” that appears to be missing here. And believe me, unless you talk this through, nothing will change because he thinks the status quo is acceptable to you.

Dear Abby: My fiancé and I are good drivers and enjoy driving. But we get into arguments during road trips about who should drive. He feels he should drive because “he’s the man.” I feel we should take turns. We both hate being the passenger. Can you give us some good advice? – Driving It Home In Arizona Dear Driving It Home: Yes. Instead of spoiling your road trip by arguing while you’re on the road, have an agreement before you leave about how the driving duties will be shared.

Because sitting in the passenger seat can become boring after a while, some couples split their trips into equal shifts. Others agree one spouse will drive to the destination and the other will drive on the trip home. It has less to do with “who’s the man” than with fairness.

Boris Spassky, the world chess champion from 1969 to 1972, said, “Nowadays there is more dynamism in chess; modern players like to take the initiative. Usually they are poor defenders though.”

Last week, we looked at declarer taking the initiative, analyzing the auction to work out which defender had a key missing honor. But what is good for the declaring goose is also good for the defending ganders.

In today’s deal, how should the defense prevail against three notrump after West leads the spade eight?

The auction was straightforward.

South’s one-no-trump response Advertise here for a successful garage sale! Call 877-264-2527 showed 6-9 (or a poor 10) points and no four-card major.

Seed Potatoes – Red White & Yellow, Spring Grove, West carefully leads a top-of815-675-2894 nothing spade eight -- only lead fourth-highest with at least one Prom Dresses – Pink, size 5, lace up back and scalloped waist; honor in the suit. South wins the first Turquoise Blue size 3/4, Cinderella style $35 each 815-651-0846 trick and plays a diamond, hoping to Find !t here! take three spades, four diamonds and PlanitNorthwest.com three clubs. But East should see how to defeat the contract.

Given that South has the spade ace and king, seven points, he cannot also hold the heart ace. So East should take the first diamond and shift to the heart three, the low card from length saying that he has honors in this suit and is trying to take tricks in it.

West will win with his ace and return the five, giving the defenders one diamond and four hearts.

Note that if East ducks his diamond ace for two rounds, hoping to get a signal from his partner on the third round, it is too late. Declarer will run for home with three spades, two diamonds and four clubs.

WREAKING HAVOC

Huntley’s Shields among big group of leadoff hitters turning heads on base paths

By ALEX KANTECKI akantecki@shawmedia.com

lthough she led all area players with 31 steals in 34 attempts last year as a junior, Huntley’s Jessica Shields had to wait patiently to move up to the No. 1 spot in the Red Raiders’ batting order.

That role last season belonged to 2015 graduate and current Carthage College softball player Shannon Walsh.

Now a senior, Shields – who shifted from outfield to shortstop this season to fill a need – has taken over leadoff duties and hasn’t stopped running for Red Raiders coach Mark Petryniec.

Shields already became the school’s all-time leader in stolen bases earlier this year, breaking Walsh’s previous record of 72. On Thursday, Shields

broke the school’s single-season record (also held by Walsh) with her 35th, 36th and 37th steals in a 1-0 win over Prairie Ridge.

In that game, Shields reached first on an infield hit, stole second when she noticed nobody was covering, and then swiped third base – eventually scoring the game’s only run on a groundout.

“It’s incredible,” Petryniec said of Shields, who is hitting .557 with 37 steals in 39 attempts. “She can turn a single into a triple in two pitches.

Jessica has been a catalyst all year for us.”

The Raiders (14-5) lead the Fox Valley Conference Valley Division heading into the second half of conference play, and Huntley’s dynamic leadoff hitter has caused headaches for opposing teams.

“You shift, you move people around, you adjust and move (defenders) in,” Prairie Ridge coach Mike Buck said of defending Shields. “You’ve got to field the ball cleanly. If you don’t, she’s safe.”

Buck knows how Shields, a Wisconsin-Parkside commit, can change a game with her ability to get on base,

because he has a pretty good one leading off for the Wolves in Maddie Schillinger.

The junior second baseman hasn’t been caught stealing in 19 attempts, helping lead the Wolves (15-3) to first place in the FVC Fox. She leads the team with a .475 batting average and 22 runs scored.

At one point, Buck said, Schillinger reached base in 13 straight plate appearances.

As Cubs manager Joe Maddon says about leadoff hitter Dexter Fowler, “You go, we go.” Prairie Ridge third baseman Kaleigh O’Brien has a similar saying about her team’s leadoff hitter.

“Whenever [Schillinger] gets on, our saying is, ‘She gets on, she gets in,’ ” said O’Brien, who is among the area leaders with nine home runs. “... It’s working pretty good.”

While the Raiders and Wolves lead their respective divisions in the FVC, Shields and Schillinger aren’t the only leadoff hitters in the area turning heads and wreaking havoc on the base paths.

Mitsch leaving legacy at Heidelberg McHenry grad owns 3 career batting records Mikaela Mitsch prides herself on honesty.

“If I think something, you’ll probably hear it,” said Mitsch, senior catcher for NCAA Division III Heidelberg Unversity in Tiffin, Ohio. “Then, I’ll apologize later if I think someone took offense.”

Mitsch, a graduate of McHenry West, is honest about her college home, too.

“I didn’t even want to come to Ohio,” Mitsch said. “[My dad] forced me to come out here. He told me, ‘It’s just a weekend. We’ll see a game, and if it doesn’t work out, it doesn’t work out.’

“When we were coming here, my dad and I looked at each other and said, ‘There’s a university out here?’ ” she said. “It’s all cornfields. There’s hardly anything to do.”

Mitsch has remained honest for four years about Tiffin and the surrounding area, which is 55 miles southeast of Toledo in rural Ohio. But she also is steadfast about her choice of schools.

“I always say that I hate Ohio,” she said. “But once you’re on campus, it’s like a whole different world. It’s Heidelberg that I love. It’s the best decision I’ve ever made. It’s amazing to see how everyone is involved and how everyone cares about what you’re doing.”

Mitsch has made people around campus care about softball.

On April 16, Mitsch hit her 28th career home run, which set a school record. This season, she also took over the career records in doubles (44) and RBIs (138). With nine more hits, Mitsch also would become the all-time Heidelberg leader in that category, as well.

“I’m in denial that this is even occurring,” Heidelberg coach Betsy Hada joked about Mitsch finishing her career. “It’s not just the numbers. The way she leads other kids in how to be a good person and a good teammate is going to have the most impact on the future of our program.”

Mitsch is batting a team-high .462 this season with five homers and 30 RBIs for the Student Princes (22-10), who are 9-7 in the Ohio Athletic Conference and in fourth place.

During Mitsch’s freshman season, Heidelberg was 2-16 in conference play, finishing in 10th place. The team rebounded in a big way, winning the conference title last season at 16-2 and advancing to the NCAA super regionals as Mitsch was named first-team all-conference and all-region.

Heidelberg Unversity senior catcher Mikaela Mitsch, a McHenry West graduate, hit her 28th career home run, which set a school record April 16. This season, she also took over the career records in doubles (44) and RBIs (138). With nine more hits, Mitsch also would become the all-time Heidelberg leader in that category, as well.

ON CAMPUS Barry Bottino The records have allowed Mitsch to think about her legacy on the program.

“It’s always been in the back of my mind that it’d be great to leave my name for years to come,” she said.

As she approached each record, Mitsch remained unaware of her numbers … for the most part.

“Even though I’m not a stats person, my dad definitely is,” she joked.

“Every time I’d see him or every time he gives me a call after a game, he says, ‘OK, this is where you’re at.’ ” Along with making history on the field, Mitsch has studied Heidelberg’s history off it.

As a student in the honors program, Mitsch is required to perform a year-long research project and make a 10-minute presentation. She discussed the program’s rise from a 1-47 combined record from 1983 to 1985 to last season’s record-setting 34-10 season.

Last week, she gave her presentation on the history of Heidelberg softball in front of a captive audience of teammates, coaches and plenty of others, including the university president and two deans from the honors program.

“I couldn’t tell you how many people were in that room,” she said.

“There were faculty members, teachers I had a class with and ones I never even had. They just showed up.

“The president didn’t just come to my presentation,” she said. “He comes of all of them, and there are about 30 seniors doing this. It’s an amazing feeling here. I never want to leave.”

Electric at Olivet: Bryan Klendworth, a junior outfielder for NAIA Olivet Nazarene’s baseball team, is batting .383 this season with a team-best 41 runs, 17 doubles and two home runs.

Klendworth (Prairie Ridge) ranks second for the Tigers with three triples and 11 stolen bases while helping the team to a 34-13 record. ONU’s 21-6 league record has put it in second place in the Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference.

Freshman pitcher Ryan Mills (Huntley) has one save and a 2.25 ERA in four innings pitched. As a team, ONU has a 2.96 ERA. Rosch collects honor: Illinois State volleyball athlete Ashley Rosch, who made the All-Missouri Valley Conference first team all four years of her career, earned a top honor at the school’s annual student-athlete awards banquet Wednesday.

Rosch, a Cary-Grove grad, won the Laurie Mabry Award, which is presented to an ISU female athlete “who exemplifies the positive values and attitude that can be learned through athletics and is a person who appreciates the opportunity she has received through

participation in the athletic program,” according to the school’s website.

Mabry served as ISU’s director of women’s intercollegiate athletics from 1960 to 1980.

Top-notch Tiger: Prairie Ridge grad Sarah LeBeau, a redshirt freshman soccer player at D-I Auburn, was honored at last month’s team banquet with the Tigers’ Rookie of the Year and Golden Glove awards.

LeBeau helped lead Auburn to its first NCAA Sweet 16 appearance in school history by posting seven shutouts and a 0.99 goals-against average.

The impressive season in goal earned LeBeau All-Southeastern Conference second-team honors and a spot on the National Soccer Coaches Association of America all-region team.

Setting Augie’s pace: Jacobs grad Gabe Askam was the top finisher for D-III Augustana on April 21 in the Elmhurst College Bluejay Classic.

Askam, a sophomore, placed seventh individually in a field of 103 golfers with an even-par round of 72 at Oak Brook Country Club. For the season, Askam ranks third on the team with a 78.6 scoring average. The team leader has a 77.8 average. Askam has two top10 tournament finishes this spring.

“Even immediately after the South Elgin game, I could tell our guys were going to respond well,” Wolves coach Josh Cole said.

“We knew South Elgin was a major step up in competition, so they definitely weren’t crushed, even though it ended a long string of wins.

“We recognized that we played our best game of the season. We didn’t get to practice much last week, but I could tell we were looking forward when we stepped on the field Saturday. Montini did a few things to try to throw us off, mainly playing a zone defense.

Our guys were ready and performed the best

Continued from page 2 Crystal Lake Central’s Amy Walsh, a Northwest Herald all-area first-team selection last season, is hitting .667 with four doubles, five triples, 31 runs scored and 19 steals in 19 attempts.

Alden-Hebron’s Tiffany Damato, who switched to a left-handed, slap-hitting specialist last year, has been critical in the Giants’ 15-4 start, leading the team with a .594 batting average, 33 runs scored and 27 steals without being caught.

Marian Central also has received a boost from freshman leadoff Maggie Finnegan, who is one of two batters hitting better than .600 for the Hurricanes.

Marian already has matched last year’s win total with an 8-3 record. Freshman Tori Boysen (.427 batting average, 28 runs) has helped similarly for McHenry, among others.

Shields – who hits left-handed after starting out as a righty – said she sees all different kinds of infield shifts against her, but her goal is to keep the defense guessing. She can slap, bunt, pull, push or punch the ball the other way. She also has

Prairie Ridge leadoff hitter Maddie Schillinger makes contact during the fifth inning against Crystal Lake Central on April 21.

14 walks in 61 at-bats.

“My goal is so that they never really know what I’m going to do, that’s the ultimate thing,” said Shields, who had two triples and scored three runs in a 12-2 victory against last year’s Class 3A state runner-up, Marengo, on Saturday.

“I look at the defense, and if they’re playing me in, I’ll try to hit it over. If they’re playing me back, I’ll try and bunt or do something else.”

Shields said getting Huntley’s stolen-base record has

been a goal of hers, and now that she has it, her focus will shift on leading the Raiders to a conference title. Players such as Schillinger, Walsh, Damato, Finnegan and Boysen are looking to do the same in the final month.

“She’s our spark plug,” Petryniec said of Shields, who played catcher on varsity as a freshman. “She’s all about the team, and anything she can do to make us better.”

In her first year at leadoff, she’s off to a flying start.

Before the game was called, Nicole Fisher led Huntley with three goals and an assist, Abby Ryan had a goal and an assist, Christina Meyer had a goal and Kelsey Werner made 14 saves.

“The girls have continued to improve each game,” Red Raiders coach Tony Nigro said.

ATHLETE OF THE WEEK COLE NAUMOVSKI Prairie Ridge, jr., M Naumovski was one of two players to score four goals Saturday for the Wolves in a bounce-back win over Montini. He is second on the team in points with 38, and leads in groundballs (90) and faceoff wins (130).

DALLAS – St. Louis captain David Backes scored off a rebound during a power play 10:58 into overtime, and the Blues beat the Dallas Stars, 4-3, in Game 2 on Sunday to even the second-round series.

St. Louis was on its second power play of overtime after Antoine Roussel was called for interference.

Vladimir Tarasenko took a slap shot that defenseman Alex Goligoski blocked. But the Blues kept charging and Backes scored on the rebound of Alexander Steen’s shot.

The best-of-seven series matching the Western Conference’s top two teams switches to St. Louis for Game 3 on Tuesday night.

Dallas forced overtime by erasing a two-goal deficit in the third period, tying in on Jamie Benn’s goal with 2:36 left. Antti Niemi stopped 19 consecutive shots since relieving Kari Lehtonen after the first period until Backes scored.

Sharks 3, Predators 2: At San Jose, California, Joe Pavelski scored the tiebreaking goal with 2:40 left in regulation, and Martin Jones stopped 36 shots to lead San Jose Sharks to a 2-0 lead in their second-round playoff series.

Logan Couture added a power-play goal and Joe Thornton scored an empty-netter to put the Sharks in control as the series shifts to Nashville for Game 3 on Tuesday night.

Mattias Ekholm tied the score earlier in the third, and Ryan Johansen also scored for Nashville.

One of the most consistent players on and off the field was released Sunday when the Bears parted ways with guard/center Matt Slauson. The team announced the move along with the release of safety Antrel Rolle.

“We thank Matt and Antrel for the dedication and leadership they brought to our organization,” Bears general manager Ryan Pace said. “Both men did everything we asked of them. Part of growing as a team is making difficult decisions like the ones we made today. We never take them lightly given the respect we have for everyone who has put on a Bears uniform. We wish each of them the very best as they move forward.”

Slauson joined the team in 2013 on a one-year deal and played every snap, earning a four-year contract after the season. He was limited to only five games in 2014 because of a torn pectoral and returned in 2015 to start every game, playing both guard and center.

“I just want to say thank you to all

wearing the blue and orange.”

Slauson, who turned 30 in February, was due $2.85 million this season.

The Bears added veteran interior linemen Manny Ramirez and Ted Larsen in the offseason and used their second-round pick on Kansas State guard

Cody Whitehair.

Last season, Slauson won the Pro Football Writers of America’s “Good Guy Award” for his work with the Bears’ media.

Rolle, 33, signed a three-year contract with the Bears in 2015 but had no guaranteed money left in his deal. He started seven games last season and had 35 tackles and one pass defensed.

Rolle ended his season on injured reserve with a sprained MCL and he also missed time with an ankle injury.

“I appreciate the Chicago Bears and the organization for the opportunity.

Blessed as always. Looking forward to what is next!” Rolle tweeted.

On Saturday, the Bears drafted two safeties – Deon Bush and DeAndre Houston-Carson. Bush, who went to the University of Miami like Rolle, looked up to the now-former Bear and trained with him in South Florida.

Adrian Amos returns as a starter, and the Bears signed former Bronco Omar Bolden, but he is more of a special teams player. Of the seven safeties on the Bears’ roster, five are either rookies or second-year players.

8 BRAVES 4, CUBS 3 (10 INN.)

Cubs’ 4-game winning streak ends Players get all ‘dressed up’ for trip to Pittsburgh

By TONI GINNETTI For the Sun-Times

CHICAGO – Colorful “off color” suits, mandated by manager Joe Maddon for the road trip to Pittsburgh, had most of the Cubs smiling Sunday, even after a sad ending to their four-game winning streak.

Red-white-and-blue sport coats for some, or camouflage ensembles for others (all by individual choice) are part of the manager’s “keep it fun” approach to a long season.

It never takes away from the serious part of the game, nor how his team continues to keep opponents on edge even if they have a lead.

The Atlanta Braves earned the 4-3 victory in 10 innings – but it took that long because their 3-0 lead vanished in the eighth and ninth innings.

“We go into every game with a good feeling,” said Matt Sczcur, who scored the first Cubs run with a pinch-hit bunt with one out in the eighth. “Our

Cubs batter Kris Bryant reacts as he walks back to the dugout after striking out on a foul tip during the first inning against the Braves on Sunday at Wrigley Field. The Cubs lost, 4-3, in 10 innings. lineup is pretty stacked. Anyone can hit a homer, even in the wind. So the job is to get on base and put it together.”

The Cubs had only two hits off Braves starter Julio Teheran through seven. But that changed when Jim

Johnson (two runs on two hits in onethird of an inning) and Arodys Vizcaino (one unearned run on two hits) replaced him.

Vizcaino was the unlikely winner despite costing his team the tying run in the ninth with a wild pickoff throw to first that allowed Ben Zobrist (walk) to reach third.

Zobrist scored on Addison Russell’s two-strike single past a drawn in infield.

The irony was that Russell’s error fielding a hard-hit ground ball from Adonis Garcia in the sixth led to one of the two runs the Braves scored in the frame.

“It was hard hit, but no excuses,” Russell said. “I should make that play.

Luckily, we got a double play after that. When you have guys who keep battling, that picked me up. That’s a cool thing to see.”

Starter John Lackey was a different pitcher than the one who gave up six runs in 52/3 innings his most recent start.

He didn’t allow a hit until the fifth, when a leadoff double by Kelly Johnson turned into the first run. Lackey gave up only two more hits through eight innings, a season high for him and his longest outing since August in a game against Miami.

He struck out only two, his fewest since a game May 23, 2015, against Kansas City, but in the raw Wrigley Field conditions, “I was definitely pitching to contact,” he said. “Go ahead and try to hit it.

“With a young team like that that likes to swing, you don’t get to many two-strike counts,” he said.

The Braves scored the winning run in the 10th off Hector Rondon (0-1).

Jason Grilli (second save) held off the Cubs in the 10th.

“But we did a lot of things well,” Maddon said. “We did one wrong thing (Russell’s error), but that’s a tough ball for Addie. We hit some balls without luck, but I like how we fought back.

And give [the Braves] credit for coming back, too.”

The loss meant May starts differently than the winning month of April.

“I’d love to keep doing that every month,” Maddon said of the historic April of 17 victories. “To sustain all those components would be great. The offense has been based on good at-bats, but you haven’t seen us knocking the cover off the ball yet,” he added of things to come.

“I’ve always said we have to win ‘today,’ ” Szczur said. “If we can make that happen, we’ll be in good shape.”

CUBS NOTES

Bryant returns to action in left field

By TONI GINNETTI For the Sun-Times CHICAGO – Kris Bryant was in left field Sunday, returning to action after two days recovering from a mild right ankle sprain.

“It wasn’t terrible,” he said of the sprain that happened when he was running the bases Thursday. “It was very mild and that’s what all the tests showed.”

Bryant was fine with returning as an outfielder, going 1 for 4 with an RBI single in the two-run eighth inning of the Cubs’ 4-3 loss in 10 innings. He extended his hitting streak to seven games.

“Third will always be the position I like the best, but I’m starting to gain more confidence out there ([in the outfield,)” he said.

The decision had more to do with Tommy La Stella’s play of late, manager Joe Maddon said. “[Bryant] is an everyday third base-

man. I definitely believe that. But it was a good day to get Tommy involved at third. It’s more Tommy,” Maddon said.

La Stella was 0 for 3 Sunday, but has reached base in 10 of his past 16 plate appearances, and was hit by a pitch.

Maddon called Bryant “a flex guy” who is becoming adept at several positions.

And Maddon is cultivating a team full of those types, including Javier Baez, Ben Zobrist and Kyle Schwarber when he was healthy.

“It’s a matter of fitting all the pieces,” Maddon said. “It’s nice having La Stella come off the bench, too.”

Catch on: Catcher Tim Federowicz, called up last week when Miguel Montero went on the disabled list with lower back pain, got his first start Sunday.

The veteran who saw limited action with the Dodgers from 2011 to 2014 was hitless Sunday, but pitcher John Lackey liked his work behind the plate.

“Tim and I had a pretty good plan and we executed well,” Lackey said.

“He’s real easy to work with back there. He’s fun to work with.”

Federowicz hit .323 with two home runs and six RBI in 15 spring training games.

“He was very impressive in camp,” Maddon said. “He’s a veteran kind of player who gets it in a crucial position.

I like having him around.”

A man short: A front office mistake left the Braves a man short Sunday when they prematurely activated Emilio Bonifacio after sending down Chris Withrow to Triple-A Gwinnett.

Bonifacio isn’t eligible to be on the roster until Saturday when he completes a required 30-day waiting period after being released and re-signed to a minor league contract.

This and that: Dexter Fowler had his 10th multi-hit game, going 2 for 5 and has hit safely in eight of his past 10 games. ... Anthony Rizzo (1 for 4) has a five-game hitting streak and stole his second base of the season in a double steal with Fowler in the first inning.

White Sox baserunner Brett Lawrie touches home plate after his home run in the fourth inning against the Orioles on Sunday in Baltimore. The Sox won, 7-1. said. “There were hard times with the shoulder and rehab and the longevity of the injury. Through all the media stuff, Alex helped me through that, just understanding what media does and how media portrays certain things and showing me you can’t make everybody happy in this world. I give credit to

he’s [all] out. But I think he’d rather be in the background just doing his thing.”

Said Jackson: “What he’s been able to do is pretty amazing. And I don’t think anyone is questioning that arm anymore.”

Eaton also seems to be settling into a better comfort zone in the clubhouse, and in that regard, Avila has been helpful.

“We talked about the aspect of not alienating himself on stuff that he says,” Avila said. “We talked about the whole twitter thing, how to handle being something that the media is going to on a daily basis. That’s part of my job as a catcher. Trying to help him learn how to give [media] something so they can do their job, but at the same time being respectful in whatever the situation or topic might be.”

Eaton could have dug his heels in when he was moved from center, but to his credit, he did what was best for the team and can’t say enough about Jackson’s assistance.

“When someone takes your job and moves you, it takes special people on both sides – the guy having the job taken away from and the guy coming in,” Eaton said. “He came in very helpful, to help me over there, the communication, how are we going to do this.

“He has my back and I have his.”

WHITE SOX NOTES

Sale improves to 6-0 for 1st time in his career

By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN dvanschouwen@suntimes.com BALTIMORE – Aside from being a lot less economical with his pitches, Chris Sale picked up in May where he left off in April, leading the White Sox to a 7-1 victory over the host Baltimore Orioles and improving to 6-0 for the first time in his career.

The victory was an important one for the Sox, who salvaged a series split and completed a 5-2 road trip that started in Toronto.

Instead of flattening out at the end of a 19-game stretch without a break, the Sox (18-8) headed home for a welcome day off after going 13-6 during that stretch with eight wins in their past 10 games and 10 in their past 13. Their three-game lead in the American League Central going into May was the largest in franchise history, and they lead the division in May for the first time since 2008, their last playoff year.

“I guess we’re into May, but 6-0 doesn’t really mean anything,” Sale

said. “One win and loss record matters, and it’s not mine, that’s for darn sure.

We just have to keep rolling. We’re playing great baseball against good teams.

“We have to keep it rolling.”

Sale kept his ERA at a tidy 1.66 after allowing a run on five hits and season-high four walks. He struck out six but needed 112 pitches, not completing seven innings for the first time.

In his past four starts, he has allowed two earned runs in 291/3 innings for a 0.61 ERA in that span.

“I was erratic today,” Sale said. “I didn’t quite have my sharpness, walked a few too many guys, but when your team puts you in a position to succeed on a day like today, you’ve got to appreciate it.”

Lawrie on a roll: Second baseman Brett Lawrie homered for the third time in three games, a two-out shot against right-hander Ubaldo Jimenez in the fourth inning for the Sox’s first run. Lawrie also singled, doubled and walked, raising his average to .290.

“I’ve never been part of a group like

this,” said Lawrie, enjoying his first year with the Sox like none other.

“Just baseball wise and the group. It’s cool, it’s a lot of fun.

“It’s a group effort every single day.

There’s no I’s in here. Everybody is in here for each other, and that pumps me up.”

Scary moment: After grazing Adam Eaton with a pitch that dropped him on his back in the fifth inning, Jimenez hit Frazier on the left hand. Frazier stayed in the game after a visit from trainer Herm Schneider.

Robertson returns: After he was reinstated from the bereavement list for the death of his father-in-law, closer David Robertson got his first work after three days off by pitching the ninth in a nonsave situation.

Richard Cronin died of pancreatic cancer at 60 last week.

“He not only was my wife’s dad, he was one of my good friends,” Robertson said. “We hung out nonstop. He was a good man who was taken too early.”

BALTIMORE – Does “eventful” aptly describe Adam Eaton’s spring?

Let’s see, there was recovery from shoulder surgery, an ill-advised twitter post, a misinterpreted comment about 14-year-old Drake LaRoche being a team leader and, on top of all that, a position change.

“It was a sloppy spring, for sure,” Eaton said.

To Eaton’s credit, he put his head down and sorted things out, trying to figure out where Adam Eaton he might have gone wrong. He embraced the move from center field to right, giving way to a more experienced Austin Jackson. He talked to veteran catcher Alex Avila about dealing with the media. And as the White Sox’s head-turning April passed with a club-tying record 17 wins and into May with a 7-1 victory Sunday over the Baltimore Orioles, Eaton was one of the biggest reasons with a steady bat at the top of the lineup and defense in right field like nobody else in baseball is playing.

“You grow from those moments and learn from them and try to get better from mistakes you make,” Eaton

my teammates and the organization.

They’ve made it easier.”

Eaton’s defense in right, coupled with Jackson’s in center, are only two reasons why Sox (18-8) baseball is easier on the eyes in 2016. After playing center his first two seasons with the Sox (and being a Gold Glove finalist in his first), Eaton is running down fly balls all over right, keeping singles to singles on balls that would have been doubles with Avisail Garcia in right and throwing runners out with a strong, accurate, fully healed left arm.

Eaton has six outfield assists, the most in baseball, and went into Sunday’s game with 13 defensive runs saved, the most by any player at any position in either league. Stephen Piscotty was second with seven.

“He looks great over there,” Sox outfielders coach Daryl Boston said. “He gets great jumps off the bat, he’s going back on balls better than it seemed like he did in center. He’s made a smooth transition over there, that’s for sure.”

Eaton seems to track the ball better off the bat in right and might have a better personality or mindset for the corner.

“Not everybody has the mentality or makeup to want to be the main guy in center,” Boston said. “It seems like he relishes the role of the guy who’s more under the radar. He plays hard,

NASCAR SPRINT CUP

Flames trail from the car of Ryan Newman (31) after a pileup of crashed cars around the track during the NASCAR Talladega race at Talladega Superspeedway on Sunday in Talladega, Ala. Chris Buescher’s car flipped three times in an early crash, and Matt Kenseth was turned upside down in the waning laps. In Kenseth’s accident, Patrick hit hard into an energy-absorbing wall that seemed to buckle upon impact. She appeared shaken after the hit and hustled out of her burning car.

“I have a pretty decent bruise on my arm and my foot, and my head feels like I hit a wall at 200,” she said. “My chest hurts when I breathe.”

There were 21- and 12-car accidents in the final 28 laps. And, as Keselowski crossed the finish line, another wreck in the back of the pack punctuated the sloppy day. NASCAR’s box score showed 35 of the 40 cars were involved in some sort of accident.

Only 21 of the 40 cars finished on the lead lap, and 12 cars were ruled out of

the race.

Second-place finisher Kyle Busch said he looked in his rearview mirror at one point and only saw four cars without some sort of damage “I hate it. I’d much rather be at home,” said Busch, the reigning Sprint Cup Series champion. “I’ve got a win. I don’t need to be here.”

Austin Dillon finished third and said he enjoyed the race, even though it was nerve-racking. Dillon was in his own horrific crash at Daytona last July and said the style of racing at restrictor-plate tracks creates an atmosphere of danger.

“We all have to do it. I don’t know how many really love it,” Dillon said.

“I know our mom’s, wives and girlfriends don’t like it. We don’t like to be part of crashes. If people are cheering for crashes, man, it’s not a good thing.”

TALLADEGA, Ala. – Two cars went airborne, 35 were involved in an accident of some kind and Danica Patrick had the wind knocked out of her in a vicious crash into the wall.

Just another demolition derby at Talladega Superspeedway.

Brad Keselowski won the crashfest Sunday that was dominated by multiple wrecks that caused millions of dollars in damage to race teams. It was Keselowski’s fourth career win at Talladega and second victory of Brad the season, and endKeselowski ed Joe Gibbs Racing’s streak of four consecutive victories.

“Crazy day. Somehow we managed to stay ahead of or out of all the chaos,” Keselowski said. “That’s how Talladega goes. Sometimes we run here and everybody kind of lines up against the wall, and sometimes we come here and it’s crazy side by side, wreck ‘em up, flip ‘em.

“I think that’s kind of the allure to coming here, because you don’t know what you’re going to get.”

That’s not entirely true about Talladega, which more times than not turns into a mess of wrecked race cars.

Keselowski said that’s just part of restrictor-plate racing at the 2.66-mile superspeedway.

“Racing has always been that balance of daredevils and chess players, this has always been more of a daredevil-type track,” Keselowski said.
