DUCKLINGS RESCUED

HUGE DIAMOND TO BE SOLD

While pulling debris from a storm sewer outside the Crystal Lake Goodwill on Wednesday, Crystal Lake Public Works employees Joe Gallina and Pete Beer rescued nine ducklings. A customer of the store had called the city requesting rescue after hearing the quacking from beneath a storm grate. Story, page A4.

PROGRESSIVE INCOME TAX

Legislation seeking to change the Illinois Constitution by creating tiers of income tax rates based on earnings died Wednesday before being called for a vote in the House. State Reps. Jack Franks, D-Marengo, and David McSweeney, R-Barrington Hills, said they were grateful it died.

Story, page A6.

LONDON – A 3-billion-year-old diamond the size of a tennis ball – the largest discovered in more than a century – could sell for more than $70 million, auctioneer Sotheby’s said Wednesday. The auction house plans to offer the Lesedi la Rona diamond in London on June 29.

The diamond was unearthed in November in Botswana at a mine owned by Canada’s Lucara Diamond Corporation. It measured 1,109 carats, the second-largest gem-quality rough diamond ever discovered. Its name means “our light” in the Tswana language of southern Africa.

The auctioneer said the rough gemstone “of exceptional transparency” could yield the largest top-quality diamond ever cut and polished.

Public works employees save ducklings from storm sewer

By KATIE DAHLSTROM

Crystal Lake public works employee Joe Gallina holds one of nine ducklings he and co-worker Pete Beer rescued Wednesday from a catch basin outside the Goodwill store after a customer heard the stranded creatures quacking from beneath a storm grate and called the city requesting a rescue.

kdahlstrom@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – Pulling debris from the sewer is part of the job for Crystal Lake public works employees Joe Gallina and Pete Beer.

But Wednesday, their cargo was a little fluffier and cuter than usual.

Gallina and Beer rescued nine ducklings from a catch basin outside the Goodwill store after a customer heard the stranded creatures quacking from beneath a storm grate and called the city requesting a rescue.

When the impromptu rescue crew arrived, they found the ducklings swimming in the catch basin about 3 feet from the surface. They put together a rope and bucket, hoping the ducklings would swim inside it.

“We just looked at them and tried to figure out how to get them out of there,” Gallina said. “We used the resources we had on our truck, but we would have gotten other resources if we didn’t have what we needed.”

They first coaxed the duckling that appeared to be the leader, Gallina said.

Then came a couple more ducklings and a group of five, they said. By the time all the ducklings had been lifted to safety, a group watching from Goodwill erupted in cheers,

they said.

Gallina and Beer transferred the ducklings to another container and brought them to a retention pond behind Goodwill.

An anxious mother and father duck were waiting for the ducklings, who Gallina said were unscathed from their trip underground.

Word of the rescue garnered Gallina and

Beer pats on the back from their co-workers and praise from their boss, Water and Sewer Division Superintendent Andrew Resek.

“I think they did a great job,” Resek said.

“They are here for anything they can do for their community. That’s what we’re to do, working for the public and making things better for the people of Crystal Lake.”

Police: Man breaks into house to harm resident

By KATIE DAHLSTROM kdahlstrom@shawmedia.com CARY – A former Cary man faces multiple felonies after police said he forced his way into a home he had been barred from visiting with the intent of harming another person Wednesday.

Salvador Herrera, 39, who police said is homeless, broke into a home at 62 Silver Tree Circle about 9 a.m., Deputy Police Chief James Fillmore said. When the resident of the home called police, Herrera fled north toward Lions Park.

The Oakwood Hills Police Department and a K-9 unit from the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office responded to a marshy area north of the neighborhood to help, police said. A short time later, police

found Herrera behind the preschool that the Cary Park District operates in the park and took him into custody without incident.

“That area tends to slow people down a lot, which I’m sure helped us out today because he was pretty sopped when he got to us,” Fillmore said.

No one was injured in the incident, police said.

Police discovered an active order of protection against Herrera that proSalvador tected the person he was Herrera trying to harm, as well as the Silver Tree address.

Based on McHenry County court records, Herrera had been charged with

domestic battery March 21. An order of protection was filed April 18, court records show.

Cary police have had run-ins with Herrera before. In February, he was flown to Advocate Condell Medical Center in Libertyville after he crashed a car into a tree in the same neighborhood while he was under the influence of drugs or alcohol, police said. He has been charged with DUI in connection with that crash.

Herrera is charged with violation of an order of protection, criminal damage to property and criminal trespass to a residence, all Class 4 felonies, as well as aggravated stalking, a Class 3 felony, and residential burglary, a Class 1 felony.

Herrera was taken to the McHenry County Jail, where he is awaiting bond.

Progressive income tax bill shut down in Illinois House

By DAN McCALEB dmccaleb@shawmedia.com Attempts to ask voters in November to change the Illinois Constitution to allow for a graduated income tax died Wednesday in the state House.

The legislation by state Rep. Lou Lang, D-Skokie, sought to create tiers of income tax rates based on how much an individual, family or small-business owner earns. Higher-wage earners would pay as much as 9.5 percent, while the state’s lowest earners would pay Rep. 3.5 percent.

Jack Franks State Reps. Jack Franks, D-Marengo, and David McSweeney, R-Barrington Hills, called the proposed graduated tax a jobs killer because of its potential impact on small businesses. Both said they were grateful it died before being called for a vote.

“We ran the clock out on it,” McSwee-

“I’m very disturbed about these secret groups meeting to plot a tax increase.

Bring it out in the open. Be transparent about it.”

ney said, referring to the strict rules required to pass a constitutional amendment out of the General Assembly to get it on the Nov. 8 ballot. “Without Jack, this progressive income tax very well could have been approved.”

A supermajority was needed in both the House and the Senate to get the measure on the November ballot.

That’s 71 votes in the House, where

CRYSTAL LAKE

kcraver@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – A federal court’s decision to strike down Springfield’s anti-panhandling ordinance prompted the Crystal Lake City Council to repeal its similar version.

Council members voted Tuesday evening, 7-0, to officially strike the ordinance, which has not been enforced since last year, when the U.S. 7th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Springfield’s ordinance unconstitutional.

This does not mean that panhandlers can act in the city with impunity. Although the specific ordinance has not been enforced, the city’s staff report states that existing laws forbidding trespassing, disorderly conduct and assault in more aggressive cases could successfully address complaints.

But complaints the police department receives over panhandling are few, Deputy Chief Tom Kotlowski said.

“It’s not something, historically, we’ve dealt with with any sort of regularity,” Kotlowski said.

Council repeals ban on panhandling after ruling

By KEVIN P. CRAVER

there are exactly 71 Democrats. If no Republicans flipped, Franks’ vote was needed to move it to the Senate.

With the progressive tax debate over for the session, both Franks and McSweeney called for Gov. Bruce Rauner to keep lawmakers in Springfield to work on a state budget. Illinois has been operating without a budget since the start of the fiscal year last July 1.

“We both call for the governor to keep us here until we adopt a budget,” Franks said.

The local lawmakers also criticized ad-hoc groups of legislators and state government staffers who have been meeting behind closed doors to work out potential budget solutions.

Media reports this week said the groups have been discussing income tax increases as well as the creation of a sales tax on services.

“I’m very disturbed about these secret groups meeting to plot a tax increase,” McSweeney said. “Bring it out in the open. Be transparent about it.”

Northwest Herald Web Poll Question

any solicitation for “an immediate donation of money or other gratuity” in any public place, as well as on public transportation, in or near sidewalk cafés, bank entrances and ATMs, or in vehicles parked or stopped in traffic.

The appeals court ruled last year that Springfield’s panhandling ordinance essentially boils down to regulating speech – in this case, asking passers-by for money – and, therefore, is an unconstitutional restriction of the content of the message.

In overturning a lower court’s ruling upholding the law, the court applied a U.S. Supreme Court ruling from last year that forced governments nationwide, including Crystal Lake and the McHenry County Board, to review their sign ordinances.

In that ruling that struck down an Arizona city’s sign ordinance, the Supreme Court unanimously decided that the very practice of classifying signs based on content violated the First Amendment.

The Supreme Court declined in February to hear Springfield’s appeal, meaning the 7th Circuit’s ruling stands.

19-year-old pleads guilty to local burglary

WOODSTOCK – A traffic safety educator working with the Illinois Department of Transportation was sentenced to a two-year probation term after he admitted to setting a trash can on fire at Goodwill Industries in Algonquin.

Robert A. Brasky, 59, of Algonquin, pleaded guilty Wednesday in McHenry County Court to arson, a Class 2 felony. In addition to probation, Brasky is required to complete counseling and pay a $1,000 fine and $476.44 in restitution to the Goodwill in Algonquin.

He also was sentenced to 90 days in the McHenry County Correctional Facility, which will be stayed pending compliance.

In exchange for pleading guilty, all remaining charges were dismissed by the state’s attorney’s office. Judge James Cowlin accepted the plea agreement.

Since his arrest, Brasky has not been associated with IDOT. Brasky was employed by Rush-Copley Medical Center, and his salary was paid through a federal grant administered by the department.

Brasky was arrested in October 2015 and charged with two Class 2 felony counts of arson and two Class A misdemeanor counts of damage to property.

Police said Brasky set fire to three trash Robert A. cans at the Goodwill Brasky in Algonquin and one mailbox in the 800 block of Applewood Lane. The fires were set between 8 to 10:30 p.m. from Aug. 27 to Oct. 25, Algonquin Deputy Police Chief Jeff Sutrick said in November.

Lake Zurich Deputy Police Chief Kevin Finlon previously said Brasky worked as a traffic safety officer for the Lake Zurich Police Department from 1980 to 2008.

WOODSTOCK – A Chicago teen will spend time in prison after he admitted to burglarizing a Woodstock residence with two other men.

Amire Rose, 19, pleaded guilty Wednesday to residential burglary, a Class 1 felony.

Rose was sentenced to four years in prison and two years of post-release supervision.

All additional charges against Rose were dismissed in exchange for the guilty plea. McHenry County Judge James Cowlin accepted the plea agreement.

He also will receive credit for time served in the McHenry County Correctional Facility since his arrest in

November 2015.

Rose was arrested after police said he, Kentrell J. Leggitt, 18, and Bashiek Stovall, 40, broke the door frame of a home in the 400 block of Oakwood Avenue in Woodstock and entered the residence.

The men, who were in the home only for a few minutes, stole a firearm before fleeing the scene, police said.

All three were apAmire Rose prehended days later, police said.

Leggitt also pleaded guilty to residential burglary March 30 and received a four-year prison sentence with two years of post-release supervision.

Stovall will appear in court June 30.

to make sure these clients have a place to go.”

Rosecrance already has hired 11 therapists and accepted more than 100 clients, Gleason said. The agency will operate youth services out the McHenry County Mental Health Board facility in Crystal Lake.

Pioneer officials have said $1.5 million owed from the state exacerbated the agency’s financial troubles. They also said internal billing struggles caused the agency to miss out on more than $2.5 million in health care reimbursements.

Faced with funding concerns, officials decided to slim Pioneer down to its core mission of helping people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and providing several community-based programs.

The agency also will maintain its group homes and Public Action to Deliver Shelter, the homelessness agency it absorbed in 2006.

The McHenry County Conservation District offers the following programs. Registration is required at www.mccdistrict.org.

• “Stroller Strut,” for infants through 5 year olds with a chaperone, will be from 10 to 11 a.m.

May 11 at Fel-Pro RRR Conservation Area, 1520 Crystal Lake Road, Cary.

Participants will explore and enjoy nature on a casual stroller walk.

The program is free for county residents, $2 for nonresidents. The registration deadline is Saturday.

• “Wild Edibles in Your Backyard,” for ages 14 and older, will be from 7 to 9 p.m. May 12 at Prairieview Education Center, 2112 Behan Road, Crystal Lake.

Participants will learn about edible native or naturalized plants that can be encouraged to grow in backyards.

The cost is $2 for county residents, $5 for nonresidents. The registration deadline is Sunday.

McHENRY – After a year of financial struggles that led to McHenry County’s largest social service provider shedding most of its behavioral health programs, the transition of services to other agencies is nearly complete.

As of May 12, Pioneer Center for Human Services will have let go more than 100 employees. Providers such as the Association for Individual Development (AID) and Rosecrance will be in the middle of establishing programs to serve hundreds of Pioneer’s former clients.

Among the last programs to leave Pioneer were adult behavioral health services, which officially were taken over Monday by AID. The Aurora-based agency has been hiring staff, setting up a phone system and finalizing contracts for the past

week, AID President and CEO Lynn O’Shea said. She expects the first clients to be seen next week.

“We’re scheduling as many appointments as we can,” O’Shea said.

O’Shea thinks the agency will hit full capacity of nearly 900 clients in a few months. AID will operate temporarily out of Pioneer’s facilities in McHenry and Woodstock.

Youth outpatient therapy will move to Rosecrance as of May 12, although the transition has been going on for months, Rosecrance Director Chris Gleason said.

Rosecrance also is absorbing a state contract to provide screening, assessment and support services, a mental health program for children and adolescents experiencing a psychiatric emergency.

“I think the clients feel a little bit of chaos,” Gleason said. “But we’re trying to work together as a community

lake Picard of Crystal Lake teaches his son, Wiatt Picard, 1, how to hit a golf ball for the first time Wednesday at the Lippold Park Family Golf Center in Crystal Lake.

Adult day care helps seniors thrive SPONSORED BY

By Gina Kraman George had a stroke and can no longer live alone. He’s living with his son and daughter-in-law, however they both work full-time. They want to stay together, but need help during the daytime. The solution? They drop George off at adult day care in the morning, and bring him back home at night.

“Adult day care centers are designed to provide care and companionship for older adults who need assistance or supervision during the day. Programs offer relief to family members and caregivers, allowing them to go to work, handle personal business, or just relax while knowing their relative is well cared for and safe,” according to Eldercare. gov.

“The goals of the program are to delay or prevent institutionalization by providing alternative care, to enhance self-esteem, and to encourage socialization.”

The resource adds that there are two types of day care: “adult social day care,” which provides recreation and socialization, while “adult day health care” offers more intensive health and therapeutic services for individuals with serious SM-CL0350571

health conditions.

Centers offering adult day care are usually open weekdays during regular 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. business hours. Many operate near or in senior centers, nursing facilities, places of faith, hospitals, or schools.

Eldercare.gov adds that the centers may serve hot meals, administer medications, perform physical therapy, arrange social activities, and provide transportation. Costs vary, ranging from $25 to more than $100 per day, depending on services offered.

HelpGuide.org reports that the National Adult Day Services Association (NADSA) says there are more than 4,600 U.S. adult day care centers.

When choosing a center, NADSA recommends “a minimum staff to participant ratio of one to six, or smaller depending on the participant’s level of impairment. A well-run center’s goals should focus on enriching the participants’ lives, building upon their skills, knowledge, and unique abilities.

Activities may include arts and crafts, musical entertainment, mental stimulation games, stretching or gentle exercise, holiday celebrations, and local outings.”

The facility also will be temperature-controlled, with the hope of being able to ride year-round.

The existing facility will be repurposed and used for the animal-assisted learning program. “It will afford us with a lot of opportunities,� she said.

Dowell said that in extreme heat or cold, classes often had to be canceled be-

cause the existing facility was not temperature-controlled.

Main Stay programs address not only physical needs, but also emotional and mental needs as well.

R.B. McAllister, 69, started attending riding sessions 3½ years ago after he woke up one day in July 2010 paralyzed from the neck down. After several hospital visits and rehabilitation center stays, McAllister started his road to recovery. In addition to equine therapy once a week, he attends aqua therapy, and physical and occupational therapy, to help regain strength and ability.

McAllister has worked with two horses since he began at Main Stay – Louie and Cowboy.

stroke survivors and individuals with memory or behavioral issues.

Clients range in age from 3 to 90, with about 60 percent of clients younger than 18. The riding program serves about 75 to 100 individuals a week, with an additional 20 to 25 in the animal-assisted learning program. Main Stay currently works with 150 volunteers.

Main Stay also collaborates with and provides services to Family Alliance, One Hope United, Child Advocacy Center of McHenry County, Pioneer Center, Big Brothers Big Sisters of McHenry County, Head Start, SEDOM, Garden Quarter, Lake County Mental Health Development and several school districts, among others.

Executive Director Loriann Dowell said the new facility, which the organization has been planning for close to 10 years, is coming at just the right time because it is quickly growing out of its current space.

Construction on the 40-acre farm is well underway, and the facility should be completed in June. Staff members hope to have everything moved to the new facility in the middle of July. Dowell said the relatively mild winter helped move construction along.

The 37,000-square-foot building includes a 20-stall barn, an additional in-

“(Riding) makes me stronger, and I want to work hard to get better,� the Woodstock resident said. “Louie has made a big difference in my life.�

Dowell said McAllister has come a long way since he started therapeutic riding sessions. “It takes a pretty calm, patient horse to do this because this is not what horses are trained to do,� Dowell said.

Main Stay staff members hope the updated facility will allow them to expand their services to more programs and clients. Main Stay plans to expand its prospective rider list in anticipation of the new facility opening this summer. “It’s an exciting time for us to be able to breathe a little,� said Sara Foszcz, founder and board president.

Dowell said that with certain therapeutic services being cut from the state, people are looking for alternative kinds of therapies. “You may start to see a greater need for services like Main Stay,� she said.

Main Stay does not receive any state or federal funding, so the farm relies on fundraising events, grants from private foundations and donations to help cover costs, Dowell said.

Fees paid by clients cover less than 20 percent of costs. Main Stay recently held its annual Black Tie & Blue Jeans Gala on Sunday.

Those interested in participating in Main Stay programs can call 815-6539374.

By EUGENIA LAST Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – Size up your situation and do what needs to be done, but don’t draw attention to yourself. Staying under the radar will result in less interference. Make a focused effort to be the best you can be and to honor promises you made to yourself.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Represent who you are and what you plan to do in a unique manner.

A debate with someone from a different background is best handled with diplomacy. Your valor and integrity will win favors.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – A set budget will help you avoid unnecessary purchases and financial loss. Don’t feel obliged to give money

to someone looking for a handout. Offer suggestions, nothing more.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Your versatility will surprise friends and family. Consistency has always been your modus operandi, but today, taking a unique position or path will bring stellar results.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – You will need to compromise if you want to get things done. A positive but passionate approach that offers incentives will help you get others to see things your way.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – It’s a good day to set the stage, voice your opinion, participate in activities or make travel plans. Whatever you touch will turn to gold, as long as you avoid senseless arguments and no-win situations.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Do whatever it takes to save money. Make changes at home that will please the ones you love. Getting along and keeping the peace will give you time to consider your options.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Draw interest by offering a different perspective on a situation you face at home or with a partner. Your concerns and suggestions will qualify your position and help you gain approval.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – You only can do so much. Put a limit on your spending and time. You’ll be given false information that could lead you astray. Do your own research.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Home and family should be your first concern. Supplying comforts and security is important, but don’t

jeopardize your financial position. Honesty and affordable plans will bring good results.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Accept the inevitable and make whatever you are faced with work to your advantage. Don’t be swayed by someone looking out for his or her own interests.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Refuse to let the desires of others deter you from doing your own thing. Someone from your past will give you the insight you need to move forward. Trust in yourself and your attributes.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Balance, integrity and proper incentives will help you get your way. Take a moment to enjoy what you have and be grateful for it. Don’t get dragged into someone else’s melodrama.

Illinois weighs change to child sex abuse law

BY ASHLEY LISENBY The Associated Press

SPRINGFIELD – A state lawmaker and former prosecutor wants to eliminate the statute of limitations on child sex crimes in Illinois, a response to the hush-money case against former U.S. House Speaker Dennis Hastert.

Before being sentenced last week to 15 months in prison for breaking federal banking rules, Hastert admitted to sexually abusing teenagers decades ago when he coached high school wrestling in Yorkville. Prosecutors said Hastert, 74, paid $3.5 million to silence one accuser who testified in court, but he couldn’t be prosecuted for the underlying sex abuse because too much time had passed.

The plan by state Sen. Scott Bennett, a Champaign Democrat, would end the statute of limitations on child sex crimes, much as there is no limit on how long prosecutors can pursue charges for some other violent crimes such as murder.

Analysis adds fuel to fight over Illinois school funding

SPRINGFIELD – Gov. Bruce Rauner’s administration on Wednesday released an analysis of a Democratic plan to change the way Illinois funds education, prompting more Republican criticism that it’s a “major bailout” for Chicago Public Schools and fueling an increasingly contentious election-year fight.

The bill sponsor, Democratic Sen. Andy Manar of Bunker Hill, called the analysis flawed. He also criticized Rauner and other Republicans for being unwilling to change a funding system “that’s completely broken and rotten at its core.”

“We’re going to move forward with or without the governor,” Manar said. “He can choose to lead, or he can choose to take the path of opposition to reforming school funding in

Bennett said that even though his bill isn’t retroactive – so it wouldn’t affect Hastert – it’s important to expand the window for victims of sex crimes to pursue legal action. He said it often takes child victims years to feel comfortable reporting their abuse. “[Time] shouldn’t be a complete bar to a victim just because they may not be in a place to discuss their trauma right after it happens,” said Bennett, a former prosecutor in McLean and Champaign counties specializing in sexual assault cases involving children.

In 2013, Illinois removed the statute of limitations on civil lawsuits concerning child sex crimes. The next year, state lawmakers waived the statute for those criminal cases in which there is corroborating physical evidence or no report filed at the time of the child sex abuse, but those represent just a small percentage of such allegations.

this state. That’s the path he’s chosen today.”

Rauner is pushing a plan that would increase school funding by providing the full per-pupil amount of state aid to districts for the first time in seven years.

But his proposal would keep the current school funding formula largely intact.

Under Rauner’s plan, Chicago schools would receive about $74 million less in state aid next year compared with the current year.

Manar said his plan would make funding more equitable by, among other things, taking into consideration a district’s local property tax wealth when distributing state funds.

64 service agencies sue Rauner for $100M past due

SPRINGFIELD – More than five dozen social service agencies sued Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner on Wednesday for $100 million in overdue payments, perhaps an inevitable byproduct of the historic 10-month budget stalemate.

It’s the latest in an increasingly complex web of legal, political and public relations

“When a prosecutor cannot indict an offender for these heinous acts because the statute of limitations has run, it raises serious moral, legal and ethical questions.”

Lisa Madigan Illinois attorney general tims of Crime, said the Illinois effort to eliminate restrictions in criminal child sex crimes is not unprecedented.

He said about 30 states have no statutes of limitations on these crimes and at least seven states have no time restraints on any felonies.

Under current Illinois law, people who were sexually abused as children have until their 38th birthday to open a criminal case.

During Hastert’s sentencing, Illi-

maneuvers to short-circuit the state Capitol deadlock over a budget plan that should have taken effect July 1. Rauner wants to make the state’s business climate friendlier, while Democrats who control the Legislature oppose his plans as anti-union and insist on dealing with a multibillion-dollar deficit.

The Pay Now Illinois coalition, made up of 64 mostly religiousor ideologically based community agencies, filed the complaint against Rauner and his administration in Cook County Circuit Court, saying economics ultimately trumps dogma.

The group – which comprises agencies that offer health care, youth and elderly counseling, prenatal and parenting services, programs to combat sexual assault and homelessness and more – alleges the state hasn’t paid them in 300 days and owes $100 million.

Prosecutors charge man in Wisconsin interstate shooting

MADISON, Wis. – Wisconsin prosecutors filed charges Wednesday against a 20-yearold man accused of killing a

nois Attorney General Lisa Madigan – the daughter of state House Speaker Michael Madigan – urged the Legislature to eliminate the statute of limitations on sex crimes.

“When a prosecutor cannot indict an offender for these heinous acts because the statute of limitations has run, it raises serious moral, legal and ethical questions,” Madigan said.

In Massachusetts, New York and Pennsylvania, lawmakers are making efforts to remove time restraints in child sex abuse cases. The full Pennsylvania House approved a plan last month that would change the age limit from 30 to 50 for victims of child abuse crimes to bring civil lawsuits and allow victims of past crimes to sue. The proposal would also remove the statutes of limitations on certain future criminal child sex abuse cases, but is not retroactive. The California Senate Appropriations Committee is slated to vote on a proposal that would impact statutes of limitations on certain sex crimes against children and adults.

woman in a random drive-by shooting along an interstate while she was driving home to Illinois with her husband and two children.

Zachary Hays, who also is suspected of killing of a man hours earlier in suburban Milwaukee, was charged with one count of first-degree intentional homicide and three counts of reckless endangering safety. The homicide charge carries a mandatory sentence of life in prison.

Hays was shot by police following the interstate incident and remained hospitalized Wednesday.

Czaczkowski and her family were returning to their home in Buffalo Grove after spending the weekend in the resort city of Wisconsin Dells when they passed a Chevrolet Blazer that Hays was driving on Interstate 90/94. Hays opened fire on the family’s BMW sedan, hitting Czaczkowski in the neck, according to investigators.

Police later stopped the Blazer with a spike strip and shot Hayes after he emerged with a gun, according to officers.

Investigators believe the shooting was random.

Czaczkowski’s husband works for the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, but authorities have said there is no indication the family was targeted.

Youth home worker pleads not guilty in teen’s death

WAUKEGAN – A man who worked at a residential facility for troubled children in Lake Villa has pleaded not guilty to fatally choking a 16-year-old Chicago boy who lived there.

James Davis of Round Lake entered the plea Tuesday in Lake County court to charges of involuntary manslaughter and obstruction of justice.

The teen, Shaquan Allen, was living at the Allendale Association in Lake Villa. Police said Davis and another employee struggled with the boy while responding to a “behavioral issue,” resulting in Davis putting him into a chokehold. The boy was pronounced dead at a hospital March 30. Police said the employees tried to pass the incident off as an accident by saying the boy slipped and struck his head.

Trump’s path to nomination causes agony for some in GOP

By JULIE PACE and STEVE PEOPLES The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Donald Trump’s last Republican foe, Ohio Gov. John Kasich, ended his quixotic presidential campaign Wednesday, cementing Trump’s remarkable triumph as his party’s presumptive nominee and launching him toward a likely fall battle with Hillary Clinton. Some Republican leaders began reluctantly rallying around Trump, but others agonized over their party’s future.

The billionaire businessman vowed to unite the splintered GOP, even as he was bitingly dismissive of members who have been critical of his campaign.

“Those people can go away and maybe come back in eight years after we served two terms,” he said on NBC’s “Today” Show. “Honestly, there are some people I really don’t want.”

Trump’s challenge in uniting Republicans was abundantly clear Wednesday. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell issued a frosty statement saying he had committed to backing the GOP nominee and noting Trump’s “obligation” to bring the party together. And in a remarkable move, the last two Republicans to occupy the Oval Office – President George H.W. Bush and President George W. Bush – made clear they would not help Trump win the White House.

Clinton, in her first remarks since Trump’s new status was crystallized, said she was more than prepared to handle the kind of deeply personal attacks that helped defeat Trump’s Republican rivals.

“To me, this is the classic case of a blustering, bullying guy,” the all-but-certain Democratic nominee told CNN. The long and chaotic Republican primary came to an abrupt end after Trump’s decisive victory Tuesday in Indiana. His win pushed Tex-

“The people of our country changed me,” Kasich said during an emotional speech announcing the end of his campaign.

“They changed me with the John Kasich stories of their lives.”

Trump’s takeover of the GOP marks one of the most stunning political feats in modern political history. A first-time candidate, he eschewed traditional fundraising and relied more on his own star power than television advertising to draw attention. He flouted political decorum with controversial statements about women and minorities, leaving some Republicans convinced he won’t be able to cobble together the diverse coalition needed to win the general election.

“It’s his party between now and November, but I don’t think it’s going to be his party after November,” said Peter Wehner, a former adviser to President George W. Bush. Wehner is among the Republicans vowing to never vote for Trump, even if that means essentially handing Clinton the presidency.

Bob Vander Plaats, an influential evangelical lead-

er who backed Cruz, withheld his support for Trump Wednesday, saying the real estate mogul needs to prove his conservative credentials with his vice presidential pick and more information about what kind of judges he would appoint. “It’s kind of a wait-and-see moment with Mr. Trump,” he said.

Vander Plaats and a handful of other Republicans are clinging to the hope that an alternative option might yet emerge. Operatives have floated former Texas Gov. Rick Perry, Nebraska Sen. Ben Sasse and former Oklahoma Sen. Tom Coburn as possible candidates for a third-party or independent bid. But that is a long shot at best, with filing deadlines for getting on state ballots fast approaching.

There was notable silence from House Speaker Paul Ryan, who has spoken critically of Trump. Aides to both Ryan and McConnell said the Republican leaders had not spoken with Trump since his Indiana victory.

A spokesman for George W. Bush said the he “does not plan to participate in or comment on the presidential campaign.” And a spokesman for Bush’s father said simply, “At age 91, President Bush is retired from politics.”

Still, several GOP governors and senators said they would support Trump.

BRIEF Teens kidnapped after high school prom fight off attacker

VICTORVILLE, Calif. – Two California teens kidnapped after their high school prom managed to escape after one of them wrested a gun away from their attacker and then pistol-whipped him, authorities said.

Jared James was arrested Saturday when he went to a hospital for treatment of injuries he sustained in the fight with one of his victims, sheriff’s officials in San Bernardino County said. Investigators said the 22-yearold James, a Nevada resident, knows the girl, but didn’t specify what their relationship is.

James is accused of forcing a 17-yearold boy and the teen’s girlfriend into their car at a parking lot in Victorville and driving them to an isolated area.

The boy fought with James in the car, managed to pry the gun away and then repeatedly hit his attacker with it before escaping. The gun fired twice, but nobody was struck by the bullets, according to a sheriff’s news release.

During the struggle, the girl ran away to find help. A truck driver drove the teens to a hospital.

Hillicans? As Trump wins, Clinton explores how to reach out to GOPers

By LISA LERER and CATHERINE LUCEY The Associated Press ATHENS, Ohio – With Donald Trump’s remaining rivals bowing out of the race, clearing his path to the nomination, Hillary Clinton is looking for ways to woo Republicans turned off by the brash billionaire.

The Democratic front-runner’s campaign believes Trump’s historically high unfavorable ratings and penchant for controversy may be enough to persuade a slice of GOP voters to get behind her bid, in much the same way so-called Reagan Democrats sided with the Republican president in the 1980s.

As Trump stood alone Wednesday after Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and Ohio Gov. John Kasich ended their bids, there were some early signs that a sliver of the party might see Clinton as the only option.

“I’m with her,” tweeted Mark Salter, a top campaign aide to 2008 Republican nominee John McCain.

Democrats caution their effort to win over Clinton Republicans – or “Hillicans” – is in its earliest stages,

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton greets audience members during a campaign stop Tuesday at Jackie O’s Production Brewery and Tap Room in Athens, Ohio. but could grow to include ads and other outreach targeted in particular at suburban women in battleground states. Already, aides said, a number of Republicans have privately told Clinton and her team they plan to break party ranks and support her.

“Let’s get on the American team,” Clinton said, making an explicit appeal to independents and Republicans,

in an interview with CNN on Wednesday.

Hoping to hasten any move to her side, her campaign on Wednesday released a list of Republicans vowing never to vote for Trump along with a Web ad featuring clips of prominent GOPers, including his former rivals, bashing the New York billionaire in every possibly way.

“He needs therapy,” former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush said at the end of the spot.

While such bipartisan support would expand Clinton’s base of potential voters, a series of high-profile endorsements from Republican officials could dampen enthusiasm among some in her own party.

For months, primary rival Bernie Sanders has criticized Clinton’s record from the left, highlighting her 2002 vote in favor of the war in Iraq and support from Wall Street. The Vermont senator won the Indiana primary Tuesday, demonstrating her lingering weaknesses within her own party.

Trump’s campaign also has made a conscious effort to target independents and Democrats in the primary.

FORT McMURRAY, Alberta – A raging wildfire emptied Canada’s main oil sands city, destroying entire neighborhoods of Fort McMurray, Alberta, where officials warned Wednesday that all efforts to suppress the fire had failed.

About 88,000 residents successfully evacuated as flames moved into the city surrounded by wilderness in the heart of Canada’s oil sands. No injuries have been reported.

Alberta Premier Rachel Notley said all 105 patients at the local hospital were safely airlifted to other care centers. She said, so far, the fire had destroyed or damaged an estimated 1,600 structures.

Unseasonably hot temperatures combined with dry conditions have transformed the boreal forest in much of Alberta into a tinder box.

An official said the province has declared a state of emergency and the fire is actively burning in residential areas. More than 200 firefighters are battling the blaze.

Officials estimated the fire at 18,500 acres and expected it to worsen Wednesday as strong winds and high temperatures “create explosive conditions.”

Handwriting vs. typing: What you need to know

Handwriting seems to focus attention and boost classroom learning in a way that typing on a laptop does not, according to a recent study.

Researchers at Princeton University and the University of California at Los Angeles found students who take handwritten notes usually outperformed students who typed their notes on a computer. Students who write them out longhand seem to remember material longer and understand new ideas better.

“Despite their growing popularity, laptops may be doing more harm in classrooms than good,” the authors wrote. “Handwritten note takers engage in more processing than laptop note takers by selecting more important information to include in their notes.”

Laptops in class have been controversial, due mostly to the many opportunities for distraction they provide, such as social media, online shopping, games, etc.

The study found that the two different types of note takers performed equally well on questions that involved recalling facts, while laptop note takers performed significantly worse on the conceptual questions.

The notes from laptop users contained more words and more precise overlap with

the instructors’ speech, compared to the notes that were handwritten. Overall, students who ended up taking more notes performed better, but so did those who had less precise overlap, suggesting that the benefit of having more content is canceled out.

“Neuroscientists have known for a while that learning cursive is an important step towards cognitive development, particularly in training the brain to integrate sensation, movement control and thinking,” says Dr. Chandragupta Vedak, a psychiatrist at Advocate Good Shepherd Hospital in Barrington, Ill. “Interestingly, even the brain imaging studies show that cursive activates areas of the brain that do not participate in keyboarding.”

Researchers said that when participants in the study were given a chance to review their notes one week later before taking a memory test, handwritten note takers still performed better than laptop note takers.

“Ultimately, the take-home message is that people should be more aware of how they are choosing to take notes, both in terms of the medium and the strategy,” the author concluded.

WASHINGTON – The Obama administration is revising a federal rule that allows wind-energy companies to operate high-speed turbines for up to 30 years, even if it means killing or injuring thousands of federally protected bald and golden eagles.

Under the plan announced Wednesday, wind companies and other power providers could kill or injure up to 4,200 bald eagles a year without penalty – nearly four times the current limit. Golden eagles could only be killed if companies take steps to minimize the losses, for instance, by retrofitting power poles to reduce the risk of electrocution.

Fish and Wildlife Service Director Dan Ashe said the proposal will “provide a path forward” for maintaining eagle populations while also spurring development of a pollution-free energy source that’s intended to ease global warming, a cornerstone of President Barack Obama’s energy plan.

Ashe said the 162-page proposal

bird populations will be monitored and provides a framework for how the permitting system fits within the agency’s overall eagle management, Ashe said.

Wind farms are clusters of turbines as tall as 30-story buildings, with spinning rotors as wide as a passenger jet’s wingspan. Blades can reach speeds of up to 170 mph at the tips, creating tornado-like vortexes.

The Fish and Wildlife Service estimates there are about 143,000 bald eagles in the United States, and 40,000 golden eagles.

It’s unclear what toll wind energy companies are having on eagle populations, although Ashe said as many as 500 golden eagles a year are killed by collisions with wind towers, power lines, buildings, cars and trucks.

Thousands more are killed by gunshots and poisonings.

Reporting of eagle mortality is voluntary, and the Interior Department refuses to release the information.

Wednesday’s announcement kicks off a 60-day comment period. Officials hope to issue a final rule this fall.

OUR VIEW

Politics kills Lt. Gov. bill Illinois voters won’t have the chance to vote in November on whether to eliminate the office of lieutenant governor.

That’s thanks to the interference and status-quo politics of downstate Republican state Sen. Bill Brady, who apparently thinks business as usual in Springfield is the way to go.

Let us explain.

Rep. D a v i d For the record McSweeney, R-Barrington Hills, sponBusiness as usual in sored a bill in the Springfield killed Rep. David Illinois House that McSweeney’s commendable seeks to ask voters to efforts to eliminate Illinois’ change the state con- lieutenant governor position. stitution to eliminate the largely ceremonial office of lieutenant governor. If approved, the measure would save taxpayers $1.6 million annually, McSweeney said.

The House overwhelmingly approved McSweeney’s proposal last week, 95-10. In a state in such dire financial shape, it seems like a no-brainer.

That’s where Brady comes in.

Asking voters to change the state constitution at the ballot box requires the General Assembly to follow a much more stringent set of rules.

Constitutional amendment proposals must be approved six months before the November election and be read in the House and the Senate three times, all on separate days. The general election is Nov. 8, so the resolution must pass both houses by Saturday to get on the ballot.

After the proposal passed in the House, Brady hijacked it in the Senate and attached an amendment to it.

With the elimination of the lieutenant governor, McSweeney’s original bill had the state attorney general succeeding the governor in the event the sitting governor could no longer serve. Brady’s amendment changes the line of succession to the next highest ranking statewide office holder of the governor’s political party.

Because Brady’s amendment – also called a poison pill – changes the proposal, it would have to go back to the House for three readings and another vote. The Senate Executive Committee rejected Brady’s amendment, and he didn’t call McSweeney’s original resolution for a vote, ultimately killing it.

We commend McSweeney for fighting the good fight in Springfield, trying to shrink state government and ease the burden on taxpayers. If only Brady’s constituents had someone who similarly fought for them.

AMENDMENT

ANOTHER VIEW

Buffett wrong about sugary drinks At his annual meeting last weekend, Warren Buffett defended his daily intake of Cherry Coke (700 calories) with the sort of folksy logic that has made him so appealing. “I like fudge a lot, too, and peanut brittle,” he explained. “I am a very happy guy. If you were happy every day – and it may be hard to measure – you are going to live longer as well, so that may be a compensating factor.”

Buffett is, of course, correct that there is no reliable metric for happiness (though that hasn’t stopped people from trying, on a personal and national scale). There are, by contrast, many ways to measure the effect of soda on human health.

To summarize: It is bad.

While soda drinking might be good for Buffett’s portfolio, it’s unquestionably harmful for public health. Many studies show that drinking sugar-sweet-

ened beverages every day leads children and adults alike to gain weight, mostly because few soda drinkers compensate by cutting other calories. This could help explain why obesity rates worldwide have risen along with increased consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages.

Researchers have also found strong links between soda-drinking and diabetes, heart disease and gout. And because sodas contain high levels of phosphoric acid but no calcium, they can also have an ill effect on children’s bone development.

As for Buffett’s suggestion that soda-drinking is a matter of personal choice, he may be immune from the $1 billion a year that soda makers spend on advertising, much of it directed at children, and by the drinks’ low prices and ready availabil-

ity. When taxes are levied to raise the price of the drinks, consumption falls, according to a study of Mexico’s soda tax (a study partly funded by Bloomberg Philanthropies).

Emerging evidence suggests this has the potential to reduce obesity.

Buffett is certainly free to indulge his sweet tooth, and he seems to have a (healthy?) respect for the need for moderation. He can also be expected to defend his company’s 9 percent stake in Coca-Cola. But generalizing from personal experience is not the best way to formulate public policy. In fact, it tends to work better the other way -- using aggregate data to guide personal behavior. On that score, here’s some nutritional advice for Mr. Buffett: Please remember to stay hydrated.

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.

Bloomberg Views

VIEWS First Last receiving this month are a testament to the falsehood of those claims.

Not only are Illinois property taxes exorbitant, they are an integral part of an immoral system in Cook County in which business owners are forced to hire politically connected lawyers to get their property tax bills reduced.

And guess what, the most politically connected lawyer of them all is House Speaker Michael Madigan. He has become a wealthy man handling Cook County property tax appeals.

Is it any wonder property tax reform has yet to arrive in Illinois?

As my former Illinois Policy Institute colleague Ted Dabrowski notes, property taxes increased at three times the rate of family incomes from 1990 to 2014.

That’s not a recipe for making families more prosperous.

Or the state of Illinois for that matter.

When I look at my own property tax

bill, I see a need for reform.

Most of my property taxes go to a rural school district that has limited curriculum options for students. It’s just too small to serve the students well.

It needs to merge with a neighboring district, but it has failed to do so.

There is an old saying in Illinois, the hardest animal to kill is a school mascot.

That’s why Florida, a slightly geographically larger state and the home of 6.6 million more people, has 74 school districts while the Illinois has 970. In fact, Illinois ranks first in the nation for the number of local governments.

There isn’t a stadium – or prison – in the state capable of holding all of our elected officials.

If we are serious about containing taxes, consolidating and eliminating local governments is essential. Democrat and Republican politicians have been giving this lip service for decades.

But little has happened.

Both political parties have vested interests in maximizing the number of boards and councils their people can be elected to.

Illinois’ open spigot of tax dollars pouring into local governments has

made bureaucrats far too comfortable.

They have little incentive to seek consolidation with other entities and have become complacent with the status quo.

It’s time to freeze the state’s property taxes.

Sadly, there are many in the legislature who say residents of this state don’t pay enough in taxes.

You’ll hear their voices often when there is a push to jack up the income tax or when they call for a tax hike on small business owners. When they make their arguments, they don’t mention the extraordinary property tax burden already borne by the state’s residents and businesses.

When you sign your check to the local tax collector, ask yourself if you’re getting your money’s worth.

If you are like me and find that the answer is “no,” pick up the phone and call your lawmakers and let them know its time for a property tax freeze.

With more than five million Americans currently suffering from Alzheimer’s, at a cost to taxpayers of more than $150 billion a year, the need to beat this disease should be clear on its own. But every year, as the number of people traveling to Washington, D.C., has increased, so has the responsiveness of legislators to our appeals: National Institutes of Health

research funding having more than doubled in five years is just one example.

Illinois residents are lucky to have a delegation that is almost universally accessible and supportive. Our congressman, Randy Hultgren, is a member who has come to see how important this issue is as a result of constituents contacting him personally.

Seeing our faces on Capitol Hill, in their district offices and at events they host in the community is what makes the fight to cure this disease real and personal to elected officials who haven’t been personally affected by the disease themselves. It also gives an instructive lesson to anyone who feels that elected officials are not listening. Go directly to the people who represent you, in person, and speak up! They will notice.

SPRINGFIELD – Like many of you, I received my annual property tax bill in the mail this past week and cringed.

My wife and I bought our dream home a decade ago, when our oldest daughter was just a baby and her two sisters were just dreams to fill empty bedrooms. Despite the joy of living in a home we love, we are reminded every year we will never truly own it.

Even though we paid for it, we have to give money to the government to hang on to what is “ours.”

And in Illinois, this predicament is more acute than anywhere else.

In fact, this year, the Land of Lincoln edged out New Jersey to become the state that taxes property owners the highest. That’s not good for families.

It’s not good for neighborhoods. And it is not good for our state’s economy.

With all things being otherwise equal, would you choose to build a new business in a state where you will be taxed at a property tax rate higher than just about anywhere else?

I didn’t think so.

Air bag recall doubles, taxes overloaded industry

By TOM KRISHER and JOAN LOWY The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Prodded by the U.S. government, Takata agreed Wednesday to add up to 40 million air bag inflators to an already massive recall, raising questions about the auto industry’s ability to produce and distribute the necessary replacement parts.

The recall of inflators that can explode with too much force and hurt people was already the largest in U.S. history at 28.8 million. But Wednesday’s announcement could raise that number as high as 69 million, a staggering task that will strain overburdened manufacturers.

The expansion also entered Takata, automakers and the government’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in a race against time. The government said the inflators have to be replaced before they reach six years old, when the risk of rupture increases.

Even before Wednesday’s expansion, it would have taken until the end of 2017 for enough replacement parts to be manufactured, said Scott Upham, CEO of Valient Market Research in Philadelphia, which tracks air bag sales. He wasn’t sure how many more years would be needed.

Other inflator manufacturers such as TRW Automotive, Daicel and Autoliv, which already are making replacement inflators, have agreed to join Takata to produce even more, Upham said.

“They’re pitching in to the best of their ability, but even with their help,

National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Administrator Mark Rosekind speaks during a news conference Wednesday at the Transportation Department in Washington, D.C. He announced that Takata has agreed to recall another 35 million to 40 million air bag inflators, a stunning increase that will more than double what already is the largest automotive recall in American history. it’s going to be very difficult to really ramp up production to cover this,” he said.

Still, the government said, it will take until the end of 2019 to finish the recalls, fast enough to catch the suspect inflators before they can burst and spew shrapnel into drivers and passengers. At least 11 deaths and more than 100 injuries worldwide have been blamed on the Takata parts.

But two years after the big Takata recalls began, automakers have replaced

only 28 percent of the recalled inflators due to a lack of replacement parts and difficulty in finding owners and persuading them to get cars repaired.

“We are absolutely not satisfied with the completion rates of the recalls already underway,” NHTSA Administrator Mark Rosekind said, cautioning against moving too quickly. Inflators aren’t interchangeable and must be engineered to fit a specific vehicle, which takes time, he said.

“We don’t want to introduce new

safety risks by pushing too fast,” Rosekind said.

Yet he said the recalls were urgent and told people to get recalled vehicles fixed as soon as parts are available.

“The science now clearly shows these inflators can become unsafe over time,” he said, referring to evidence that chemicals in the devices can degrade, especially when exposed to heat and humidity.

The models involved in the expanded recalls and the number of cars affected were not available Wednesday but will be posted within weeks on NHTSA’s website. The expansion adds three manufacturers – Tesla, Jaguar-Land Rover and Fisker – to the 14 that already have vehicles in the recall.

The expanded recall mainly covers inflators in front passenger air bags that do not have a chemical drying agent known as a desiccant. But it does not include side air bags without the drying agent, nor does it cover another 32 million air bags that have the desiccant. Some cars now have both driver and passenger inflators that are being recalled.

The expansion will be phased in between now and December 2019, with older cars and those in areas of high heat and humidity getting priority, the agency said.

Takata uses ammonium nitrate to create an explosion that inflates air bags in a crash. But over time and when exposed to airborne moisture and high temperatures, the chemical can degrade and burn too fast, blowing apart a metal canister and spewing shrapnel.

LONDON – John Boyega is going from space battles in “Star Wars” to earthbound struggles onstage at London’s Old Vic Theatre. The theater said the 24-year-old actor will get his first West End starring role in “Woyzeck,” the story of a soldier who commits an act of brutal violence.

The new version of Georg Buchner’s 19th-century drama is written by Jack Thorne, the playwright behind “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.”

Boyega, who played Finn in “Star Wars: The Force Awakens,” currently is filming the eighth installment in the sci-fi saga. The play, which opens in February 2017, was announced Wednesday as part of the Old Vic’s 2016-17 season.

In this image released by Disney, Anthony Mackie (from left), Paul Rudd, Jeremy Renner, Chris Evans, Elizabeth Olsen and Sebastian Stan appear in a scene from “Captain America: Civil War.”

Captain America says he isn’t afraid of superhero fatigue LOS ANGELES – “Captain America: Civil War” star Chris Evans isn’t worried about superhero fatigue at the cineplex.

The actor, who dons Captain America’s mask and shield a fifth time for the latest Marvel movie, said the studio knows how to satisfy its fans.

“Luckily, the movie is good,” Evans said. “If you were all rallying around and working toward and sweating for a bad product, I think that’s how you begin the initiation of disillusionment and apathy ... As long as Marvel is making good movies, I’ll still have the excitement and enthusiasm and commitment to work for them.”

Lower-than-expected box office for DC Comics’ “Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice” earlier this spring spurred some speculation that audiences may be tiring of superhero movies.

But enthusiastic early reviews suggest things could be different for “Captain America: Civil War” when it opens nationwide Friday. Fandango reported Tuesday that advance ticket sales already have broken the site’s record.

“Civil War” features most of Marvel’s Avengers, including Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.), Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner), Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) and Falcon (Anthony Mackie).

Their superhero union is fractured when Iron Man agrees to – and Captain America rebels against – government oversight of the Avengers.

The film also introduces a new character, Black Panther (Chadwick Boseman), who’s set to star in his own Marvel movie in 2018.

Next up, however, is “Doctor Strange,” set for release this fall. “Thor: Ragnarok” is due in 2017, followed by new “Avengers” movies in 2018 and 2019.

MINNEAPOLIS – In his final weeks, Prince hid signs of trouble from his fans, stonewalling reports of an overdose that required an emergency landing and making a brief public appearance to reassure them. But privately, the superstar was in crisis, seeking help from a prominent addiction expert that ultimately came too late.

The day before he died, Prince’s representatives reached out to a prominent California doctor who specializes in treating addiction and set up an initial meeting between the two, the doctor’s Minneapolis attorney, William Mauzy, said Wednesday. He said the doctor, Howard Kornfeld, couldn’t leave right away so he sent his son, Andrew, who flew out that night.

It was Andrew Kornfeld who called 911 the next morning after he and two staffers found Prince unresponsive in an elevator at his Paisley Park studio complex, the lawyer said.

Prince was declared dead shortly thereafter on April 21. He was 57.

The details about Prince’s death that emerged Wednesday raise questions about whether he received appropriate care and whether those who sought to provide it could face legal consequences for their actions.

Although autopsy results haven’t been released, Mauzy’s revelations, which were first reported by The Star Tribune, buttress reports that Prince had been fighting – and ultimately lost – a battle with prescription painkillers.

Craig Ferguson to host Red Nose Day charity telecast

LOS ANGELES – Craig Ferguson will host NBC’s second Red Nose Day telecast for children in need.

NBC said Wednesday that Ferguson will be joined by stars including Kristen Bell, Julianne Moore, Paul Rudd and Jack Black in a live prime-time special airing later this month.

Besides making telecast donations, people will be able to contribute by buying red noses, hats and other merchandise at Walgreens stores nationwide, NBC said. Money raised by Red Nose Day will go to support projects that aid needy communities in the U.S. and other countries. NBC said its Red Nose Day special will include music, comedy and short films about the campaign’s aims. It’s scheduled to air from 8 to 10 p.m. May 26.

Emanuel hopes court appeal can save Lucas museum

CHICAGO – Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel is turning to a federal appeals court in his increasingly desperate attempt to keep filmmaker George Lucas from building his museum in another city. Emanuel’s office said in a news release Wednesday that it’s filing a petition with a federal appeals court to dismiss a lawsuit filed by the parks advocacy group Friends of the Parks, which opposes the lakefront museum. The announcement comes a day after the wife of the “Star Wars” creator said the legal fighting over the proposed museum has prompted her and Lucas to start looking for a site in another city.

Power walk to spark weight loss Dear Dr. K: When I first started walking for exercise, I lost some weight. Since then, my weight has plateaued. How can I adjust my walking routine to start losing weight again?

Dear Reader: To reignite your weight loss, you need to keep challenging your body. That means walking farther, faster and more often. The more vigorous your workout, the longer you’ll continue to burn calories after you stop exercising.

The number of calories you burn increases as you go faster. But despite what you might think, taking longer strides is not the best way to speed up. Rather, taking quicker steps with good posture (keeping your head up and not bending over) and proper technique (bending your arms and rolling your feet from heel to toe) are the foundation for improving your pace. Once you’ve mastered these basics, the following tips will help you turn up your speed even more: • Power your arm swing. Many people punch their arms forward when they walk. But you’ll get more speed and power if you focus on your back muscles.

Squeeze your shoulder blades and drive your elbows behind you, keeping them close to your body. Pull your arm back far enough so your hand just passes your hip. Then let your arm swing naturally forward to chest height as you pull the other one back.

• Squeeze your glutes. Each time your heel strikes the ground, squeeze your buttock muscles. This technique naturally shortens your stride.

• Loosen up your hips. When you feel like you’re walking so fast you want to run, it’s time to get your hips in on the action. You want your hips moving forward and backward – not side to side. As your

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff right leg steps forward, your right hip should sway forward, and then back as your right leg extends behind you. It’s not a big movement.

• Count your steps for one minute at any point during your walk. Then speed up to see if you can take more steps during the next minute. The more steps you take, the faster you are going.

• Train for strength. Strong leg and buttock muscles power your stride, helping you to achieve higher speeds.

If you’re not up for going fast your entire walk, intervals are a good option.

Alternate fast walking for short periods of time with equal or longer intervals of slower or moderate-paced walking.

The basic idea is pretty obvious: More vigorous exercise leads to more weight loss. What’s less obvious is there are groups of muscles many people don’t use during brisk walking. If you recruit them into your pattern of walking, you’ll use them more and thereby work harder.

Every time I talk about regular exercise, I emphasize the goal is not just achieving a healthy weight. I do think you’ll achieve your weight-loss goals by altering your walking routine the way I describe above. But if you don’t, you still will be greatly reducing your risk of diabetes, heart disease, stroke and several kinds of cancer.

Brokenhearted Mom Dear Mom: If you haven’t already, talk to

Cora’s therapist. There might be a medication that will help to lessen her intense social anxiety or she may need a different therapist.

What’s going on between your daughter and her former best friend isn’t unusual. When romance intervenes, it is common for teenage girls to focus their attention and energy on the boyfriend and less on their girlfriends. Expecting this girl to be your daughter’s sole support system is unrealistic and unfair to the girl.

Because it is unlikely Cora will find new friends in the context of school, continue to find outside activities that will give her something to do as well as contact with other teens. And, if Cora is open to it, you might consider having her volunteer at an animal rescue group or letting her adopt a pet from a shelter.

Dear Abby: A friend sent me a sample line of face care products from a company she works for. She included a lip balm I used, and sunscreen that contains a chemical to which I am allergic. I offered to send that sample back.

When I researched the ingredients of the other products, I was dismayed to see they contain many chemicals, too. (I try to use organic products as much as possible because I have sensitive skin.) Should I return the whole unused sample kit? I obviously can’t return the lip balm. Or should I just thank her and keep – but not use – them? These are high-end products from Europe, and she has been so “wowed” by them she has become a consultant and is excited to promote them. – Return To Sender?

Dear R.T.S.?: Talk with your friend and thank her for her generosity, but explain you are unable to use the products. Ask if she would like the unused products returned to her and take your cue from her. If she has had to pay for the products she’s representing, she might be glad to have them back to share with others.

Dear Abby: DEAR ABBY My beautiful, kindhearted, Jeanne loving daughter Phillips “Cora” has a “best friend” she used to be very close with. However, her friend now has a boyfriend, so Cora doesn’t see her on weekends or receive texts from her very often anymore. Everything they plan to do together, the girl cancels. My daughter is so distraught it is affecting her emotionally and physically.

Cora has told her friend many times how she feels, but it has made no difference. Her friend promises her things and never follows through.

My daughter suffers from social anxiety, so making a good friend is a rarity for her. I tell her I love her and I’m always here for her, but although Cora sees a therapist, nothing seems to comfort her.

The school she attends stops accepting new students after ninth grade, so there is no chance of her meeting anybody new. We have tried having her join other activities, but they don’t last. I’m desperate to help her. Any advice? –

GIRLS TRACK AND FIELD: FOX VALLEY CONFERENCE MEET

Favorite time of day CL South’s Ciezadlo loves Adaptive P.E. class

By JOE STEVENSON joestevenson@shawmedia.com

C

rystal Lake South junior Cailey Ciezadlo eagerly anticipates the final bell at 2:50 p.m. each day, signifying track and field practice soon will start and she will have a chance to get faster.

The Crystal Lake South junior has seen her training pay off this season with a 200-meter championship at the McHenry County Meet, a 4x200 county title and a 200 school record.

As much as Ciezadlo embraces track practice, it is not her favorite time of the day. That comes during fifth period, about four hours earlier, when she walks into a room to see Kristen Pazdra, a Functional Living Skills student paired with Ciezadlo for South’s Adaptive P.E. class.

“It’s not really Cailey coming in to a gym class to work with a special ed kid,” said Emma Maslanka, an FLS para-pro at South who also assists Gators girls track coach Matt Dunker. “It’s a friendship. Kristen gets super-excited when Cailey’s here and she hears about Cailey’s accomplishments through track. Cailey always comes in with a smile, excited to see Kristen and work and hang out with her.”

Ciezadlo enjoys brightening Kristen’s day as much as running really fast.

“It’s nice to have an opportunity to make someone smile,” Ciezadlo said.

“I love that it’s fifth period, a nice break in my day to go and interact with kids. Everyone should have an equal chance. That organization is a great way to make everybody happy.”

Ciezadlo will be a favorite in the 200 at the Fox Valley Conference Girls Track and Field Meet on Thursday at Huntley’s Red Raider Stadium. South’s 4x200 team of Courtney Wosik, Naomi Daniel, Mallory Ellers and Ciezadlo also will have a good chance to win the title.

Huntley won the county meet two weeks ago and will try to repeat as FVC champion.

A year ago, Ciezadlo would not have been considered a threat to win any race at the FVC Meet. She was a good sprinter but did not run in the Gators’ 4x200 relay, nor did she run in the FVC Meet, where each school is allotted two competitors in each individual event.

H. Rick Bamman photos – hbamman@shawmedia.com

Crystal Lake South junior Cailey Ciezadlo (left) assists Kristen Pazdra, also a junior, in the Functioning Living Skills program as they enjoy the day during Adaptive P.E. class Tuesday. Ciezadlo, who has won two county track titles, wants to major in special education.

Ciezadlo played soccer as a freshman, then came to track as a sophomore and ran in junior varsity races.

She made an exponential jump this season.

“She’s really concentrated on her form and got in the weight room a little bit more,” Dunker said. “She’s not running like a soccer player anymore with her arms out. Her form has come a long way. She’s looking like a runner now. It’s come together for her.”

Opportunities will come for Ciezadlo to run at the college level.

Dunker said NCAA Division III Wisconsin-Whitewater and some other schools have contacted Ciezadlo.

“She never realized this was an option until this year,” Dunker said.

Ciezadlo knows the lifting and working on her running form have been keys to her success.

“Dunker really pushed me that if

you give 100 percent in it, you’ll get something out of it,” Ciezadlo said.

“I’m a strong believer in results coming from the process of working.”

While Ciezadlo has yet to make a college choice, she knows her major will be an area in which she already has experience.

“I always knew I wanted to be a teacher of some sort, and I feel like being in this class, I fell in love with these (FLS) kids,” said Ciezadlo, who was buddies with another girl last year. “I want to help as many people as I can. It’s fun and you get something every day. It’s nice to have an opportunity to make someone smile.

Everyone gets an equal chance in life, and if I can help in any way, I want to do that.”

Wendy Pazdra, Kristen’s mother, is thrilled her daughter has a friend like Ciezadlo to help her.

“As a mom with a special needs

daughter, it’s so wonderful to see these high school students come alongside these kids and be a mentor to them and care for them and interact with them,” said Wendy Pazdra, Kristen’s mother. “Cailey’s a wonderful girl, and Kristen just loves her. We are so blessed that she’s part of Kristen’s life.”

For 45 minutes each day, Ciezadlo teams up with Kristen to play catch or hockey or some other activity that will have both of them grinning from ear to ear.

“Kristen’s favorite gym activity is the scooters,” Maslanka said.

“The gym buddies pull the FLS kids around on scooters with jump ropes.

Kristen has a smile the whole time Cailey’s pulling her. Cailey’s very interactive – she’s constantly paying attention to Kristen and having conversations with her. She has done a very good job being in this program.”

4 ways to breathe cleaner air at home SPONSORED BY

By Gina Kraman Carbon monoxide and second-hand tobacco smoke are common indoor air pollutants, but many more toxic and odorless substances – from carpeting, painted walls, and cleaning solutions – can be unhealthy, especially for people suffering with allergies and respiratory problems.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that indoor air can be two to five more times polluted than outside air.

Homeowners have four options to improving their indoor air, according to Tom Eppers, co-owner, Dowe & Wagner, a heating, ventilation, and airconditioning company serving residential and commercial customers in Illinois and Wisconsin.

“Using a good quality air filter on your furnace is the first step to cleaner air.

Filters have a MERV (minimum efficiency reporting value) rating from 1 to 16.

The higher the rating, the more particles captured. Your nose is about a 3 for filtration. Filters with a 1 to 4 MERV trap

“You would rather it be you than your kid. You don’t want your kids to feel that pain. It’s scary.”

The baseball community has rallied around Raines. Each member of the Crystal Lake South baseball team signed a get-well-soon card and included a gift card. Cole’s father said he received texts, tweets and phone calls from just about every coach in the conference.

Now, the family is focused on the future.

“The biggest concern I have for him now is mentally will he be able to get back on the mound and compete,” Ken Raines said. “He seems to think he will.

I’d love to get him on the mound as soon as we can so we can get through that next hurdle.”

Raines walked out to home plate Wednesday. They’re hoping it won’t be long until he takes that journey 60 feet, 6 inches further to the pitcher’s mound.

pollen, dust mites, and carpet fibers, while higher rated filters can catch bacteria and insecticide dust.”

Eppers says that installing an air purification system to a home’s ductwork system is the second way to boost air quality. “This system, which may cost between $500 to $1,200, uses ultraviolet light to kill living organisms in the air, including mold, spores, and other toxic compounds. A third way is to bring in more fresh outside air into the house through an improved air intake system.”

He adds that the fourth, best, and costliest method to cleaner air is through a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filtration system. Hospital operating rooms use HEPA systems to keep their surgical environments sterile. “Homeowners use this mechanical filtration system to remove 97 percent of pollutants from the air for people suffering with severe respiratory conditions, such as chronic bronchitis and asthma. It costs between $2,000 to $6,000 to install, and about $300 a year to maintain, but in one day, all the home’s air is filtered and cleaned.”

CRYSTAL LAKE – On Wednesday afternoon at Crystal Lake South, Huntley junior Cole Raines stepped out of the Red Raiders’ dugout and walked to home plate to deliver the game ball to umpire Bill Orris.

On its face, it was such a small gesture, one that goes unnoticed during almost every game. But after the scare the pitcher, his family and teammates got a day earlier, it was so much more than that.

On Tuesday, Raines was pitching in the seventh inning when he was struck just above the right ear with a line drive. He collapsed to his knees and was taken by ambulance to Centegra Hospital-Woodstock. A tight two-run Fox Valley Conference baseball game suddenly became an afterthought, as the teams decided to suspend the contest until Wednesday.

“I remember throwing a fastball on the outside corner, and I remember waking up and seeing blood on the dirt and seeing my hat down with blood all over it,” Raines said. “It was a little bit

Siavelis’ 3 goals lift CLS Johnsburg coach not disappointed in team’s effort

What to watch Boston at White Sox, 7 p.m., CSN+ Pitcher Erik Johnson makes his season debut for the White Sox, after replacing John Danks on the roster, in the series finale against the Red Sox’s Henry Owens (0-0, 4.82 ERA).

Booked DALLAS – Johnny Manziel has been booked and posted bond in a domestic violence case, one day before the former Cleveland Browns quarterback faces his first court hearing.

Manziel attorney Robert Hinton said Wednesday the 23-year-old quarterback presented Johnny himself for booking and a Manziel mugshot. Police in Highland Park, a wealthy Dallas enclave that’s separate from the city, released the mugshot Wednesday afternoon.

The Heisman Trophy winner and former Texas A&M star was indicted by a grand jury last month after his ex-girlfriend alleged he hit her and threatened to kill her during a night out in January.

CRYSTAL LAKE – Even if there wasn’t much at stake in a practical sense, both coaches knew what they wanted to see from Wednesday’s girls soccer match between Crystal Lake South and Johnsburg.

South coach Jay Mueller knew how easy it would be for his team to come out flat after an emotional conference-title clinching win Friday.

His Gators team showed no signs of any such mental slip, Katherine beating Johnsburg, 4-0, in a nonconferSiavelis ence match at South.

“I think it was like not letting up,” sophomore defender Raquel Hess said of the approach. “We had that conference title, but we’re not finished and we want to keep going. So we can’t get in our heads and everything. We have to stay humble.”

The Gators (13-5) took control in the opening 40 minutes, thanks to a first-half hat trick by senior Katherine Siavelis. Courtney Sengstock assisted on the first two goals before Kimmy Sulikowski provided the cross on Siavelis’ third, making it 3-0 with 3:16 left in the half.

“I think we do well going up the sides and being able to cross it right away, or we have a lot of good technical players so we’re able to take a touch and shoot if we need to, or pass around, combine and make that opportunity,” Siavelis said. “I think we do well on both sides of the ball.”

Hess added to the Gators’ lead less than four minutes into the second half. A corner kick fell in the Johnsburg box, and Hess was able to run onto it and score her first goal of the season.

Annika Sevcik made three saves in goal for South, while Johnsburg’s McKenzie McKay made five.

For Johnsburg (12-4-2), the game was mostly about getting ready for next week’s Class 1A regionals.

“We approached it in a sense of, it didn’t really mean anything in a sense of it was just something we could pre-

And if Marian (Central) is a team we come up against, we’ve got to be ready, we’ve got to be playing these teams.

“I love the fact ... I mean we lost, 4-0, but my girls played better than they have in two-thirds of the games they’ve won, because it was just the competition. The response from 3-0 at half, it was the reckoning of realizing some of our bad habits and things we have to work on. And then I asked for a response at halftime, and they came out and gave it. So I loved the game. It was good for us.”

all came down to the success of his right-hander against a tough McHenry team.

“Matt was really strong today and worked really hard,” Sutherland said.

“You are going to win a lot of games with pitching like that. Not only was his fastball working, but all his pitches were effective today. The five spot we were able to put up in the second inning was huge and proved to be all we needed. I was trying to pad the lead late, but McHenry made it tough on us.”

Pat Humphrey did a nice job in relief for McHenry (15-8,6-6). Humphrey went 51/3 innings and allowed no runs on three hits. However, McCumber never allowed the Warriors’ offense to get going. “[McCumber] was really tough to hit today,” McHenry coach Brian Rockweiler said. “He was able to get ahead of just about every one of our hitters and was able to throw all his pitches for strikes. It was tough to get anything going.”

“To be honest, it felt terrible leaving the bat, and I thought I hit a lazy pop up to second base,” Levicki said.

“I took advantage of the elements and got lucky. That was the first fastball I got in that at-bat and was able to do something with it.”

C-G (17-7, 8-2 FVC Valley) ended up scoring five runs in the inning.

Besides Levicki’s home run, the Trojans also had an RBI double by Quinn Celske and an RBI single by Nick Kirk.

The five runs would be more than enough for McCumber. The C-G junior allowed only two singles in the second inning and a run in the seventh inning after a walk and an error. McCumber finished with 10 strikeouts and needed only 79 pitches for the complete-game victory.

Backup running back Ka’Deem Carey (above) likely will compete for playing time with rookie Jordan Howard, a fifth-round draft pick of the Bears.

BEARS ANALYSIS

Howard’s arrival likely hurts Carey

By KEVIN FISHBAIN kfishbain@profootballweekly.com As much as players such as Jay Cutler and Charles Leno could breathe easier after the Bears’ draft, others might be a little more uneasy.

No Bears were impacted more by the draft class than Antrel Rolle and Matt Slauson, cut one day after the conclusion of the draft. General manager Ryan Pace selected three defensive backs, signaling the end of Rolle’s brief time with the Bears.

When Ted Larsen and Manny Ramirez signed, Slauson had to be put on notice, and the second-round pick of Cody Whitehair made it a foregone conclusion. Two veteran leaders cut as the Bears moved on to younger – and cheaper – options.

Other players, however, may see a cut into their playing time, or have to compete harder for a roster spot, after seeing the results of the draft.

RB Ka’Deem Carey: To start OTAs, the No. 2 running back position still should be Carey’s to lose. He improved a lot last season and was valuable late in wins over the Chargers, Rams and Buccaneers. However, he was Phil Emery’s draft pick. Jordan Howard, a bigger north-south runner, is Pace’s, and the rookie will right away compete with Carey to best complement Jeremy Langford. Carey was a fourth-rounder, Howard a fifth.

OLBs Lamarr Houston and Willie Young: The two defensive ends who

moved to outside linebacker finished the season strong and had assimilat-

ed nicely to the 3-4 defense. Leonard Floyd’s arrival, however, will cut into playing time for the two veterans. Neither Houston nor Young can match Floyd’s speed off the edge, not to mention a No. 9 overall pick doesn’t sit on the bench. Houston is signed through 2018, with the dead cap money decreasing each year. Young is in the final year of his three-year deal. The Bears are in a good situation with the veterans in case it takes Floyd some time to add the muscle he needs to in order to be a run-defending factor at outside linebacker.

ILBs Christian Jones, John Timu and Jonathan Anderson: The three inside

linebackers who got chances to start last year knew they’d be in reserve, special teams, fighting-for-roster-spots roles once the Bears signed Danny Trevathan and Jerrell Freeman. When Pace traded up in the fourth round to draft Nick Kwiatkoski, it added to the competition. Timu showed plenty of flashes in the last two games, and Anderson was valuable on special teams, so Jones may experience the biggest impact from Kwiatkoski’s presence.

D-linemen Ego Ferguson and Will Sutton: Mitch Unrein is safe with his two-

year contract as a rotational lineman, but third-round pick Jonathan Bullard will make it harder for Ferguson and Sutton to get ample playing time. An injured arm set Sutton back early in the season and Ferguson went on IR with an ankle injury. They both showed they can play in a 30-front, but Bullard, as this regime’s draft pick, is expected to have a leg up.

was able to pitch out of it, which was really nice to see,” Cubs catcher David Ross said. “He’s done that a couple times here lately.”

Rizzo doubled and scored on Javier Baez’s fifth-inning double and hit his ninth home run of the season in the seventh off Ryan Vogelsong. He had three hits, scored three times and finished the series with five doubles and the home run.

Baez also had three of the Cubs’ 12 hits and drove in the game’s final run with an RBI forceout in the ninth. Addison Russell added two hits and Kris Bryant extended his hitting streak to 10 games.

Pinch-hitter Matt Joyce had a tworun homer in the seventh against Adam Warren. Three of his four home runs have come as a pinch hitter.

The Associated Press CHICAGO – David Ortiz hit his 509th home run to put the Boston Red Sox ahead to stay in a 5-2 victory over the White Sox on Wednesday night.

Ortiz’s two-run shot to right field off Carlos Rodon in the fifth inning tied him with Gary Sheffield for 25th all-time. It was the sixth homer of his farewell season and his 451st with Boston, one off Carl Yastrzemski’s club mark.

Ortiz added an RBI single in the seventh against Zach Duke, and embattled Clay Buchholz (1-3) was sharp over seven innings in Boston’s fourth win in five games.

Jose Abreu’s two-run homer in the first was the only blemish for Buchholz, who allowed three hits and struck out six.

Rodon (1-4) gave up three runs and six hits over six innings as the White Sox failed to win their 20th game and match the crosstown Cubs for most wins in the majors.

Craig Kimbrel pitched a scoreless ninth for his ninth save, after the 40-year-old Ortiz helped Boston break out of its funk against left-handers.

The Red Sox managed four hits off Jose Quintana on Tuesday night, falling to 0-3 against lefty starters.

But Xander Bogaerts had three hits Wednesday, including an RBI single off Rodon in the second.

That was enough in Buchholz’s best outing of the season.

He entered with a 6.51 ERA and Boston had lost all five of his starts, prompting manager John Farrell to say the right-hander needed to “attack the strike zone.”

Abreu crushed Buchholz’s 92 mph fastball an estimated 402 feet to left in the first inning for his fourth homer despite the wind blowing in on a 45-degree night. Abreu has 10 RBIs during his eight-game hitting streak.

“It’s a win-now league, and I wasn’t helping the team win,” Danks said.

Rodon drew Danks’ old No. 50 into the dirt on the back of the mound in the first.

PITTSBURGH – The Cubs are threatening to run away with the NL Central.

Ben Zobrist hit a three-run home run, Anthony Rizzo also connected and Jon Lester worked out of a pair of jams to lead the Cubs over the second-place Pittsburgh Pirates, 6-2, Wednesday for a three-game sweep.

With its seventh win in eight games, the Cubs improved to a major league-best 20-6. The Cubs have won seven straight road games and completed their first sweep in Pittsburgh since Sept. 7 to 9, 2012. They lead the division by six games.

“We pitched really well in this series. We’ve been doing that the whole year,” Cubs manager Joe Maddon said. “And the offense was good again.

But the part that permits the offense to get into the flow of the game is the pitching’s been so good. That we are able to stay even or most of the times on top of the other side.

“Offensively, we keep having good at bats over the course of the game and then have a chance to work people down by the end. That’s pretty much been the roadmap to this point.”

Zobrist’s third-inning homer put the Cubs ahead after center fielder Andrew McCutchen dropped Rizzo’s twoout liner for an error.

Lester (3-1) scattered eight hits in 52/3 scoreless innings, struck out five and walked two. The left-hander has allowed one run or none in five of six starts this season.

Pittsburgh loaded the bases in the fourth and put runners on first and second in the fifth – both times with no outs. The Pirates have lost four straight after a six-game winning streak.

Good advice on emergency fish measuring OUTDOORS Steve Sarley I always like sharing tips from readers and tips about new products I run across I feel may be beneficial to my readers. This week, I’ll offer some of both.

Marengo’s Jeff Biewer wrote, “I wait each week to read your articles in the Northwest Herald, and every time I hear about somebody not [being] able to measure a fish because they don’t have a tape measure I want to bang my head against the wall.

“Every single person who’s fishing has a tape measure on them!

“When you catch a giant, cut a piece of your fishing line the length of the fish and put it in your pocket and measure it when you get home! I wish the guy on the Fox River would’ve thought of that with that giant muskie. Keep up the informative outdoor articles.”

Jeff, as Homer Simpson would say, “Doh!” I can’t believe I have never thought to do that myself. I have not had a measuring device on a number of occasions and never thought to measure off a piece of line as you suggest.

••• Here is a good tip from reader Ray Caywood: “I would like to comment on your article about gun safety. Everything you mentioned recently were good points. One note I would add is about the amount of bullets in the gun when teaching someone how to shoot.

I always started my daughters off with one round in the gun, no matter if it was a rifle, shotgun, semi-auto pistol, or revolver. There is no chance of something unexpected happening after they shot that first round. As we moved up in calibers and firearms, .22, .380, 9 mm, .243, .270, .28, 20-gauge, 12-gauge, etc., whether it was pistols, rifles or shotguns, we started the same process again. Only one round, no matter how many times, until becoming familiar and comfortable with gun and caliber.”

Thank you, Ray. That was an excellent point.

••• I am too lazy to take my hooks and lures off my rods when I am packing it in for the day. I usually just hook them through the line keeper. Of course, when I go to use them later, they are all jumbled together and snarled and take forever to get apart.

Those Velcro keepers on the market don’t do much better, to be honest. The hooks just get tangled in the Velcro.

Well, Southern California’s Dave Romanus from Cal Coast Fishing has come up with an incredible gizmo called the Bait Sack.

“The Bait Sack is the combined

WHAT TO WATCH

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Doug O’Neill was all smiles after early 3-1 favorite Nyquist drew the No. 13 post for the 142nd Kentucky Derby.

The number with an unlucky reputation didn’t faze the trainer. In fact, it brought back good memories.

Nyquist left from the same spot when he won the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile last year at Keeneland, part of his 7-0 career record.

“No matter if we drew the one or the 20, the thought is we were going to leave there with the intent of being forwardly placed and just play it by ear,” O’Neill said Wednesday after the post-position draw.

“More than anything, I’m so happy with the way he’s training, the way he’s acting.

He’s thriving on all the positive attention.”

Four horses have won from the No. 13 spot since 1900, most recently Smarty Jones in 2004. O’Neill, jockey Mario Gutierrez and owner Paul Reddam teamed to win the race in 2012 with I’ll Have Another.

“The whole team is pumped up,” O’Neill said. “We’re just very optimistic for a big day.”

Exaggerator drew the No. 11 post and is the 8-1 second choice in the full field of 20 horses for the 11/4-mile race Saturday at Churchill Downs. He’s trained by Keith Desormeaux, whose Hall of Fame brother, Kent, will be aboard.

Horses are loaded into the gate two at a time, starting with posts one and 11, which spend the most time waiting for the start.

“Kent thinks it’s a little disadvantage because we load first in a 20-horse field,” Keith said. “It might be less than perfect but it doesn’t bother me much because

CLEVELAND – J.R. Smith made seven 3-pointers and the Cleveland Cavaliers drained an NBA-record 25 3s in a 123-98 runaway win over the Atlanta Hawks on Wednesday night in Game 2 of their second-round series.

The Cavs made 18 3-pointers in the first half and added seven more after halftime to embarrass the Hawks, who have lost 10 straight postseason games to Cleveland.

Cleveland’s 25 3s are the most in any game – regular or postseason.

LeBron James made four 3s and scored 27 points for the defending Eastern Conference champions.

Hornqvist’s OT goal puts Pens up in series, 3-1, over Capitals

PITTSBURGH – Patric Hornqvist beat Braden Holtby between the legs 2:31 into overtime to give the Pittsburgh Penguins a 3-2 victory over the Washington Capitals on Wednesday night in Game 4 of the second-round series.

Washington’s Mike Weber tried to clear a shot, but the puck went right to Hornqvist in the circle. He buried it for his fifth goal of the postseason to give the Penguins a 3-1 lead in the best-ofseven Eastern Conference semifinals.

Game 5 is Saturday night in Washington.

The Penguins ended an eight-game losing streak in overtime playoff games.

This cute big fellow was abandoned at a stable. He lived there for several years being taken care of by everyone there until the stable was going to close. With no place to go the people at the stable relinquished Soxx to us. He was so scared at first we had to work hard to gain his trust slowly. He has been with us for three years and has adjusted to the shelter. He likes to be brushed which is very important in order to keep his long fantastic gray fur from matting. He likes getting scratched but doesn't like being picked up. He has formed some strong bonds with some of the other cats in Cat Cove and especially likes to snuggle with some of the other boys. He has white on his face with a white chest, stomach and feet.

He is a big boy at 18 pounds and really needs to lose some weight.

Just like people, he needs more exercise and controlled amounts of food as prescribed by a veterinarian. He's hoping to find a very understanding guardian that will give him the patience he will need to adjust. He is available for no adoption fee to an approved senior citizen through our Senior to Senior program. Meet Soxx at Helping Paws located at 2500 Harding Lane, Woodstock, Ill. Our website is www.helpingpaws.net and our phone number is 815-338-4400.

‘CIVIL WAR’ MAKES FOR LIVELY ‘CAPTAIN AMERICA’

MORE ONLINE The new movie “A Bigger Spash,” starring Tilda Swinton and Matthias Schoenaerts (above) is scheduled for limited release Friday. Find more reviews online at NWHerald.com.

By LINDSEY BAHR The Associated Press

Conventional movie wisdom would suggest there only can be diminishing returns with long-running franchises.

There must be a breaking point, right?

Especially at movie four, five, six and beyond. There are exceptions, sure, but even the painstakingly plotted Marvel films have had low points.

And yet in the ashes of “Avengers: Age of Ultron,” the brain trust behind Marvel Studios and directors Joe and Anthony Russo have built what is easily one of the strongest films of their so-called cinematic universe with “Captain America: Civil War,” an engaging, lively and just flat out fun use of the characters we’ve gotten to know across the last eight years and 12 films.

As our interest waned in the prospect of yet another supervillain threatening to destroy an entire city or planet, Marvel smartly pivoted and turned the conflict inward. With the near inevitability of a civilian death toll any time the Avengers are involved in an incident, the UN steps in with an accord proposing regulation and oversight. Essentially now, the Avengers need permission before they jump into action.

Tony Stark/Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.) is for it. Steve Rogers/ Captain America (Chris Evans) is against it. And the rest of the Avengers must decide where they side, leading to some interesting alliances – such as Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson)

“CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR” STARRING: Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson PLOT: Political interference in the Avengers’ activities causes a rift between former allies Captain America and Iron Man. RATED: PG-13 RUNNING TIME: 2 hours, 26 minutes going against her pal Cap, Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner) positioning against his friend Black Widow, and so on.

Some of it is rather silly, especially the villain Zemo, whose somewhat nonsense plan leaves a lot to chance and coincidence. Daniel Brühl, as always, is great in the role, but still little more than a plot device – as though the screenwriters thought it would be too dark for the good guys to fracture without a push from a manipulative outsider.

The good news is this Avengers movie in disguise keeps everything rather intimate for a superhero movie.

There only are so many times these films can get away with scenes of massive destruction – the thrill (and horror) of the spectacle starts to dull.

In “Civil War,” the combat mostly is hand-to-hand, the stakes are personal and the set pieces small. The showdown of the superhero teams is confined to an airport runway, for instance.

That airport sequence, by the way, is exceptionally entertaining. It’s both witty and visually engaging and worth

the price of admission. Cap, Falcon (Anthony Mackie), Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen), Hawkeye, Ant-Man (Paul Rudd) and the Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan) face off against Iron Man, Black Widow, War Machine (Don Cheadle), Vision (Paul Bettany) and the two newbies, Spider-Man (Tom Holland) and Black Panther (Chadwick Boseman).

It’s also hard not to be a little cynical about the obvious corporate machinations of “Civil War,” such as the introduction of Spider-Man and Black Panther – two characters who we already know are getting their own movies. Every moment with them feels like a trailer, and like the best trailers, we see only the finest stuff. “Civil War” dares you to not be won over by Holland’s youthful comedic charm and Boseman’s depth as the stoic prince in the killer suit.

We also can conjecture, for instance, that Spider-Man ultimately doesn’t have much of an impact on the plot because the actual Spider-Man movie eventually will come from Sony, not Disney. Does any of this really matter if the movies are good? No, of course not. We just know too much about the roadmap to make any of it seem spontaneous, surprising and organic. Characters can’t just break out from the pack on their own merits.

If they could, Marvel probably would have resurrected the idea for a Black Widow movie by now.

The thing is, Marvel makes it funny, and that charm and care is what has and will keep audiences coming back over and over again.

Movie experience Nostalgic McHenry Outdoor Theater opens May 6 with ‘Captain America’

By JAMI KUNZER jkunzer@shawmedia.com For Scott Dehn, there’s no better way to see a movie than under the stars at the McHenry Outdoor Theater.

The owner of the Golden Age Cinemas theater since 2012, Dehn eagerly anticipates the theater’s opening night every year. Marking his start to summer, the theater at 1510 Chapel Hill Road in McHenry will kick off its season May 6 with showings of “Captain America: Civil War” and “The Jungle Book.”

Admission for a night of both movies is $10 for adults, $5 for children ages 11 and younger, seniors and military.

A look at the McHenry Outdoor Theater’s 1950s-style speakers.

Northwest Herald file photo

Gates open at 6:30 p.m., with the first movie beginning when it is completely dark.

“My favorite time of the year is opening this drive-in,” said Dehn, who worked at the theater for six years before owning it and remembers well visiting it while growing up.

“It’s a movie experience unlike any other. It’s a beautiful summer night. The stars are out. You can tailgate. You’re making memories with your family and friends, and then the movie comes on and it’s on this big screen, with this digital projector,” he said.

“You can’t find a better picture. And it’s just so nostalgic. It’s kind of like stepping into a time machine. You’ll remember your visit there for the rest of your life.”

And if you’re like the theater’s many fans, you’ll come back, especially this summer, which Dehn describes as “loaded” with movies such as “Finding Dory,” a new “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” movie, “The Angry Birds Movie,” “X-Men: Apocalypse,” “Independence Day 2” and other blockbusters.

After a couple of weeks of the two opening movies, Dehn intends to pair “Captain America” with “Star Wars: The Force Awakens.”

As for the theater’s highly anticipated Fall Throwback, when Dehn plays older movies at the end of the season, he said he’s leaning toward popular movies from the 1980s, such as “Labyrinth” and

“The NeverEnding Story.”

“I’ve been trying to think of some really different ones,” he said.

With this weekend’s big release of “Captain America: Civil War” and some good weather – “That’s the one thing I can’t control” – Dehn expects a crowded opening night. The theater can and has fit about 900 cars.

Continued from page 9 He advised visitors to bring a portable radio, instead of using the car radio to listen to the movies on 89.9 FM. Using the radio and the theater’s 1950s nostalgic speakers (still on about half of the theater’s poles) while sitting outside creates a stereo sound. Get there early, bring a frisbee or gloves and a ball to hang out for awhile before the movie, he said.

“It just makes for a special night,” he said.

Dehn had hoped to open the theater a bit earlier this year, but complications from a serious back surgery forced him to keep the typical opening timeline of early May. Notifying theater fans through Facebook of the reason he wouldn’t open earlier, Dehn received an outpouring of support.

“I have a long road ahead of me but reading your thoughtful and positive comments has really reinforced my desire to fight and get better soon,” he wrote on Facebook.

It also was community support that saved the theater back in 2013 when the movie industry’s forced switch from 35 mm film to digital – a format cheaper for studios and distributors – threatened to close the theater.

Dehn struggled to find a way to raise the more than $100,000 needed to make the upgrade when Honda, through an ini-

Community votes resulted in McHenry’s selection.

“We were one of the top five votegetters in all of the country, which is amazing,” he said. “There were places in San Francisco and Orlando that didn’t get as many votes as little McHenry. That says something…

“The community, they are really the ones who have kept us alive through all these years.”

REVIEWS Jeff Cook

Let me get this out of the way, first: Fans of musical comedy, or any kind of comedy, or laughing in general, should stop what they’re doing right now and get tickets to see Mercury Theater Chicago’s buoyant and riotous new production of “The Producers.”

Mel Brooks’ musical take on his 1968 film of the same name is legendary for the way it captured the hearts and minds of theatergoers when it first hit the stage in 2000. (Fun fact: its pre-Broadway performances were held at Chicago’s own Cadillac Palace.)

The play, starring Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick as Max Bialystock and Leo Bloom, won 12 Tony awards and broke box office records, then went on to become one of the most successful movies ever based on a play based on a movie about a play.

“The Producers” is written by Mel Brooks and Thomas Meehan, with music and lyrics by Mel Brooks.

Mercury Theater Chicago has a wonderful facility for any production, housed in a restored building on Southport Avenue that once housed a silent movie theater. It’s a beautiful showcase for a production that is a marvel of brilliant casting, creative set design and sheer, unadulterated fun.

Max Bialystock (played with exultant abandon by Jeff-Award winning actor Bill Larkin) is a has-been Broadway producer reduced to finagling investment money for new productions by wooing lonely, elderly women. Leo Bloom (a walking bundle of neuroses played with comic perfection by Matt Crowle), is an accountant and selfproclaimed loser.

After realizing that a producer stands to make more money on a bad show than on a hit, the two hatch a plan: raise millions of dollars, put on the worst show in the history of Broadway and, when it flops, retire to Rio. They find the perfect play (“Springtime For Hitler: A Gay Romp with Eva and Adolf at Berchdesgadan”) and the perfect director (Roger DeBris, played by show-stealing Jason Richards). But when the show unexpectedly becomes a hit, Max and Leo find their next production just might be put on behind prison walls.

Though Larkin and Crowle carry the brunt of the show’s responsibilities, other actors get just as many of the laughs. As Carmen Ghia, Roger’s “common law assistant,” Sawyer

Bill Larkin (Max Bialystock) (from left) and Matt Crowle (Leo Bloom) star in “The Producers” at Mercury Theater Chicago.

“THE PRODUCERS” WHEN: Through June 26 WHERE: Mercury Theater Chicago, 3745 N. Southport Ave., Chicago COST & INFO: Tickets start at $30. Information and tickets: www.mercurytheaterchicago.com or 773-325-1700.

Smith provides the most entertaining portrayal of love and support this side of “The Birdcage.” As Ulla, a blonde bombshell of a leading lady, Allison Sill exudes the perfect mix of innocence and sexuality to capture the hearts of both Leo and Max, and her voice is a revelation. Harter Clingman plays German playwright Franz Liebkind with infectious enthusiasm and gives new meaning to the phrase “break a leg.”

The casting of the production is impeccable and inspired, and the production team of L. Walter Stearns (director), Eugene Dizon (musical director) and Brigitte Ditmars (choreographer) utilize every inch of the stage, every note of the music and every line of dialogue to squeeze out as much merriment as possible.

The costumes were authentic, and every person in the cast looked absolutely great. The set design was simple and effective and flowed so smoothly that many times, the set changed without my being aware of it. These people clearly know what they’re doing, and the opening night audience let them know by filling the theater with well-deserved laughter and applause.

Mel Brooks has styled himself “an equal opportunity offender,” and those with sensitivities dialed up to 11 might not enjoy much of the content.

It is definitely not appropriate for children.

But for patrons who want to escape reality for a night, and who have the endurance to laugh for every bit of the production’s 2-hour, 30-minute running time, make haste to Mercury Theater Chicago before “The Producers” closes for good.

Classic ‘King and I’ enchants at Chicago’s Civic Opera House REVIEWS Paul Lockwood Picture this: You’re sitting in the architecturally stunning Civic Opera House in downtown Chicago, you hear the overture of a classic Rodgers and Hammerstein musical performed live by a full orchestra of more than three dozen instrumentalists, and the curtain opens on a tall silhouette of the lead female character projected on what appears to be the huge mast of a sailing ship. Within the first five minutes of Saturday’s performance of “The King and I” by the Lyric Opera of Chicago, I sensed it was going to be a memorable night of entertainment. It was.

If “The King and I” were human, it could have received its AARP card long ago, having first opened on Broadway in 1951. The incomparable Yul Brynner starred as the King of Siam, and Gertrude Lawrence was Anna Leonowens, the English schoolteacher who comes to Bangkok with her young son Louis to teach at the palace. That original production ran for 1,246 performances over a three-year period. In 1956, the film version of the musical was released, and Brynner won an Oscar. Brynner returned to the stage role in the 1970s and 1980s, receiving a special Tony Award in 1985 that honored his 4,525 performances as the king.

That history is necessary because audience members of a certain age – probably the same demographic most likely to attend traditional operas at the Civic Opera House – may be expecting a bald, middle-aged Yul Brynner look-alike in the role of the king.

Well, Paolo Montalban, the Lyric’s king, isn’t bald, and he looks younger than his 40-plus years, but he makes the role his own, emphasizing the humor of the script while also showing us the king’s internal conflict.

It’s especially evident in Montalban’s only solo number, “A Puzzlement,” in which the king admits, “I am not sure of anything!” He wants to be viewed as progressive, not a barbar-

ian, but moving beyond traditional ways is hard.

The plot takes place in the 1860s, a time when Lincoln was the U.S. president and the king of Siam was accustomed both to polygamy and to his leadership never being questioned. Anna, played by the poised, talented singer/actress Kate Baldwin, is a widow who stands up for herself, demanding the king live up to his side of the agreement that brought her to Siam. Baldwin shines in the role from the get-go, comforting her nervous son (and herself) with the musical advice, “I Whistle a Happy Tune,” and showing her romantic side in “Hello, Young Lovers” and “Shall We Dance?” (Note: the choreography of “Shall We Dance?” brought well-deserved mid-song applause from the audience. With only two people dancing all over the huge stage, that applause was for the artistry of choreographer Peggy Hickey, as well as the talented movements of Montalban and Baldwin.)

The “young lovers” Anna sings about are Tuptim (Ali Ewoldt), a “present” to the king from Burma, and Lun Tha (Sam Simahk), the young man who delivered the “present.” Ewoldt’s voice is powerful,

operatic and emotional. “My Lord and Master,” her solo in the first act, touchingly shows the anguish of a woman’s feelings being suppressed as she is forced into slavery to the king.

With the strong voices of Ewoldt and Simahk, as well as their chemistry on stage, the forbidden love of Tuptim and Lun Tha ably complements the complex, evolving and often frustrating relationship between Anna and the king. Rona Figueroa, as Lady Thiang, the king’s “head wife,” brings out the humanity and resignation of a woman who cannot talk to her husband the way Anna can.

One recommendation for the sound designer: Please turn up the mike for Charlie Babbo, who plays Anna’s son, or have him project more. Both his connection to his mother and his friendship with Prince Chulalongkorn (Matthew Uzarraga), the young heir to the throne, are too important to have the audience straining to hear.

With that minor exception, this is an outstanding production. The music is as gorgeous as the colorful costumes designed by Sue Blane, and the story will make you laugh and blame allergies for your wet eyes.

In summary, don’t bow down to the king; just go downtown to this “King,” and you’ll be as excited about it “as Siam.”

fan of classic movies and theater, Jeff Cook always wondered why the two never really have been combined.

So he’s taken it upon himself to change that.

What began as Cook’s look into how to adapt classic films for the stage has turned into his creation of Film Stripped Productions and the theater company’s first play, “Meet John Doe.” A live, staged reading of the play, based on the 1941 Frank Capra movie of the same name starring Gary Cooper and Barbara Stanwyck, will begin May 12 and run through May 22 at Hidden Pearl Cafe in McHenry.

“To purely bring classic movies to the stage is something that hadn’t been done … It’s an experiment. I’ve never seen it done before,” Cook said. “I’m kind of just doing it as I go along. Fortunately, I’ve been blessed with an amazing cast of actors.”

...

With a cast of 16 area actors, including Cook’s wife, Karen, as leading character Ann Mitchell, a fired newspaper reporter who prints a fake letter from unemployed “John Doe,” who threatens suicide in protest of social ills.

Karen Cook has acted in various McHenry County theater productions for the past decade, but said this is her first staged reading, a form of theater without a real set or costumes. “It’s been unique and challenging,” she said.

Cook chose “Meet John Doe” because of his love of Capra and Capra’s “It’s a Wonderful Life.”

He adapted the play from the film’s screenplay. In the movie, The newspaper is forced to rehire Mitchell, who hires a homeless man to impersonate “Doe,” which eventually leads to a whole political movement.

“I started reading the script, and it just resonated with me so strongly,” he said.

Many of the themes in the movie remain relevant today in society and politics, he said.

“In typical Frank Capra

fashion, there’s comedy, there’s heartwarming, but there’s also a tinge of darkness, which you see a lot in this work,” He said.

With the cafe providing an up-close theater experience, the production will be performed at 7 p.m. May 12-14, 19 and 22 and at 3 p.m. May 22. Tickets cost $12 in advance at www.hiddenpearlcafe. com or $15 at the door.

Performed in a smaller space, the actors will perform amid the audience, providing a whole new theater experience. “There’s nothing, I like to say, that hides the performances,” said Cook, who already is eying other classic films, such as 1950’s “D.O.A.” to bring to theater.

But, for now, he said, he’s hoping the audience will enjoy the unique experience.

“This is the fulfillment of a dream of mine… I think the material is really relevant. The actors are passionate. It’s something you can’t get from just going to any theater. It’s different than a stage. The actors are among you,” he said. “The material is classic.

You can’t go wrong with Frank Capra.”

How to make spring projects more eco-friendly

The arrival of warmer weather means different things to different people. Some anticipate opportunities for outdoor fun, while others may be considering redecorating or remodeling their homes. For the latter group, home improvement season provides a great opportunity to make homes more eco-friendly.

When planning home improvement projects, it’s best to first choose a project and then look for ways to make the project more environmentally friendly. Such an approach may not only benefit the environment, but it also may benefit homeowners’ bottom lines.

Interior decorating Longer days and warmer temperatures often translate into wanting to freshen up the interior of a home.

Heavy draperies and comforters are

put away, and lighter fabrics are taken out of storage. Whenever possible, reuse or repurpose items you already have rather than purchasing new items. Longer drapes can be cut and hemmed to be used as window treatments in other rooms.

Making a patchwork blanket out of old T-shirts is a crafty project that makes use of items that would otherwise be destined for landfills.

When laundering linens, skip the energy-using dryer and let items line dry in the sun and fresh air.

If you decide to purchase some new items, look for products made from sustainable or organic fabrics. Hemp and bamboo textiles have grown in popularity. Hemp and bamboo plants grow quickly, and their durability makes these materials smart choices.

When replacing items around the house, donate older items to a charitable organization.

Flowers and plants Spring and summer call to mind beautiful blooming plants. Relying on native, sustainable plants is practical, environmentally friendly and cost-effective.

According to the National Wildlife Federation, sustainable plants are

native plants. Native plants sustain local wildlife more effectively than non-native alternatives, so include native plants in your sustainable garden. Native plants also are less reliant on pesticides and herbicides to keep them healthy and viable.

Don’t forget to bring plants indoors

The NASA Clean Air Study, led in association with the Associated Landscape Contractors of America, found that certain common indoor plants naturally remove toxic agents such as benzene, formaldehyde and trichloroethylene from the air. Efficient air cleaning is accomplished with at least one plant per 100 square feet of home or office space.

Proper disposal Spring cleaning is another tradition for many families come the end of winter and dawn of spring. Many people use spring as a time to go through closets and garages to remove items they no longer use or need. In an effort to clean up fast, some people may dispose of chemical products, paints, treated lumber, and many other items in ways that can be damaging to the environment. Always learn local municipal guidelines for proper disposal of potentially harmful products. Area

Really?

Did you know that of cancers affecting both men and women, colorectal cancer is the second leading cancer killer? But this is one cancer you can prevent. Get screened!

Screening tests help find polyps so they can be removed before they turn into cancer.

So, if you’re 50 or older, do everything you can to prevent colorectal cancer. Screening really does save lives!

LOCATION: 8791 ILLINOIS 76 BELVIDERE ILL (RT 76 NORTH OF BELVIDERE TO FAIRGROUNDS), IN POULTRY BUILDING, WATCH FOR SIGNS

Lee Marvin said, “As soon as people see my face on a movie screen, they know two things: first, I’m not going to get the girl, and second, I’ll get a cheap funeral before the picture is over.”

This deal has two faces. Yesterday, South got the girl when he made four hearts. But if West had been more resourceful and East had cooperated, South’s contract could have been given a funeral. How? After West’s one-spade opening bid was passed around to South, he might have jumped to three hearts.

In this balancing position, it would have been an intermediate jump overcall (not weak), showing at least a six-card suit and some 15-17 points.

But it would typically have indicated a stronger suit than this one. North’s three-heart raise was no thing of beauty, with a 10-loser hand, but with four-card heart support, it was hard to pass.

Against four hearts, West leads the spade king. East overtakes with his ace and returns the spade four.

How should West analyze the deal?

West can see a third trick in the club ace, but he should realize that South will know he has the heart king. East passed over one spade and has produced an ace; he cannot have the heart king.

West should see that he has one faint chance. He should cash the club ace (although it isn’t necessary in this deal), then lead his lowest spade.

East, who from the bidding knows his partner has six spades, should see what is required -- he ruffs with the heart eight. This uppercut promotes a trump trick for East-West.

Seminary Avenue, Woodstock, IL in the board room for the purpose of considering a project for which financial assistance is being sought from the Illinois Department of Transportation, pursuant to the Illinois Department of Transportation's general authority to make such grants, and which is generally described as follows: The project requests the grant procurement of a light duty paratransit vehicle, a minivan paratransit vehicle, and a replacement of a medium duty paratransit vehicle for door-to-door transportation services for persons attending our Adult Day Health and Memory Care Program and Respite Services day services, throughout McHenry County.
