Good morning, McHenry County ...

It’s May, must be time for ... football?

It’s mid-May. The Cubs and White Sox own the best records in their respective leagues and could be on a collision course toward a crosstown series in October.

The NBA and NHL playoffs are in full swing.

The spring prep season is marching toward its postseason.

All this is going on now and what has my focus been? Football, believe it or not.

KENOCKEE TOWNSHIP, Mich. – Reports of equine tail-hacking cases are on the rise in Michigan and although authorities are asking people to be on the lookout for perpetrators, it remains unclear if the motivation behind targeting horses and ponies is for play or profit.

At least six tail-hacking cases have been reported to Michigan police during the last month, including the most recent last Thursday that involved two miniature ponies in Port Huron, about 60 miles northeast of Detroit. Last month, police in the Detroit suburb of Trenton said three ponies and a horse that gives rides to children had their tails cut off.

DRUG COURT GRADUATES 10

Together, class marked 3,167 days of sobriety

By JORDYN REILAND

jreiland@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – Dozens of guests filled a packed McHenry County courtroom Tuesday evening to celebrate a graduation.

Not one for seniors in high school or college, but a commencement for a group of individuals recovering from addiction looking for a second chance.

Jason Beaty, one of the county’s 10 drug court program graduates, said he knows firsthand the work it takes to successfully live a sober

life, reflecting on his previous felony convictions and trips to prison.

Despite some of the ups and downs on his road to recovery, the time it took him and the steps he had to

take were well worth it in the end, he said.

“Until I manned up and was completely honest … I never could accomplish anything,” he said, as his

mug shot appeared on the screen behind him.

Together, the graduating class marked 3,167 days of sobriety. This year’s class was one of the largest since the program was created in 2011.

Participation in the drug court program includes drug treatment, regular meetings with program officials, court appearances, drug screens and a full year of sobriety.

Some also are required to attend Alcoholics Anonymous or Narcotics Anonymous meetings.

Jason Sterwerf, director of McHenry County’s specialty courts, said the 10 graduates totaled 110 arrests before entering the drug court program. There were 1,005 total arrests among the 134 participants, including misdemeanors, felonies and DUIs.

CARY

Man wanted for selling drugs accused of punching officer

By KATIE DAHLSTROM

kdahlstrom@shawmedia.com FOX RIVER GROVE – The Cary man who was wanted for allegedly selling drugs in a Lake in the Hills bar punched a police officer in the stomach and ran away before police said he was tracked down by a police K-9 early Tuesday morning.

Fox River Grove police stopped a vehicle near the intersection of Route 14 and Opatrny Drive just after midnight after an officer noticed Christopher S. Caceres, a 38-year-old wanted on warrants from McHenry and Lake counties, was sitting in the front seat, Police Chief Ron Lukasik said.

After Caceres punched the officer and fled, Fox River Grove police requested a Lake County Sheriff’s Office K-9 team to assist in the search. The McHenry County Sheriff’s Office and Cary Police Department also provided officers to establish a perimeter, according to a news release.

When Lake County K-9 Dax and his handler Deputy John Forlenza arrived,

they began tracking Caceres’s scent. A short time later, police said Dax and Forlenza located Caceres in the 100 block of Crescent Road in Fox River Grove, where he was arrested.

Police determined Caceres was wanted on a warrant for several felony drug charges, some stemming from a McHenry County Sheriff’s Office Narcotics Task Force’s investigation sparked by numerous complaints of patrons selling cocaine inside a bar in Lake in the Hills, officials said.

After Tuesday’s inciChristopher dent, Caceres also was S. Caceres charged with aggravated battery to a police officer, a Class 3 felony, and resisting arrest, a Class A misdemeanor.

Caceres was taken to the McHenry County Jail, where he is being held on $100,000 bond. If convicted of the most serious drug charge, a Class 1 felony, Caceres could face up to 15 years in prison.

Lukasik, along with Lake County Sheriff Mark Curran and Undersheriff Ray Rose, lauded the collaboration between departments and work of Dax the K-9 in finding Caceres.

“This offender, who exhibited violence toward police officers, was quickly apprehended due to the great teamwork between neighboring police agencies,” Lukasik said.

Also charged in connection with the McHenry County investigation are: Victor E. Velasco, 39, of Lakemoor; Jason M. Silberbauer, 25, of Lake in the Hills; and Lukas Cerniauskas, 22, of Crystal Lake.

They were arrested at their residences on April 29.

Detectives allegedly purchased about 7 grams of cocaine from the four men during an undercover investigation and later worked with the state’s attorney’s office to obtain warrants, police said.

Because the owners of the bar were not involved in the criminal activity, police have said they will not release the name of the business.

Area grad to be co-anchor on ABC 7

By CAITLIN SWIECA

cswieca@shawmedia.com

“To be able to do this in my hometown is a great privilege, and I don’t take it lightly.”

CRYSTAL LAKE – When Rob Elgas took a position as a reporter and fill-in anchor at ABC 7 Chicago last July, he said his goal was simply to contribute in any way he could.

In less than a year, Elgas has earned an opportunity to contribute in a new way. ABC 7 announced Elgas, a 1992 Crystal Lake Central graduate, had been promoted to anchor of its 4 p.m.

“Eyewitness News” on Monday.

In his new role, Elgas will continue to contribute regular reports to the station’s 10 p.m. newscast after wrapping up his anchoring duties.

“I was filling in on the anchor desk, but I really enjoy reporting for the 10 p.m. news,” Elgas said. “I think it’s important. It gets me out in the community.”

Elgas will begin co-anchoring the 4 p.m. newscast with Linda Yu on May 26. On the same day, Alan Krashesky will take over the 5, 6 and 10 p.m. newscasts following Ron Magers’ retirement.

Elgas, a Crystal Lake native, has been in the news business for more than 20 years and in the Chicago mar-

ket since 2002.

He started his broadcasting career as a photographer for WICD TV in Champaign-Urbana while at the University of Illinois.

He worked for ABC7 in El Paso, Texas, from 1998 to 2002 before returning to Chicago with a job at NBC 5, where he anchored the early-afternoon news and reported for the late-evening news.

Elgas said it was a tough decision to move to ABC, but he said the transition was smoother than expected, thanks to welcoming and encouraging co-workers.

When Elgas has returned to McHenry County to speak to aspiring journalists, he said he always advises them to put in the work and learn as many skills as possible.

He said versatility comes in handy at his current job, where he covers a wide range of stories and balances ev-

ABC 7 Vice President and News Director Jennifer Graves said Elgas’ passion for his community has been a part of his success.

“He’s a Chicago-area native who relishes covering news in and around Chicago and has forged a real connection with viewers here,” Graves said in a statement. “His on-air warmth, experience and enthusiasm for his work are the same qualities that have made him such an integral part of our newsroom this past year.”

Local gov’ts OK reroute of portion of Prairie Trail

By KEVIN P. CRAVER

kcraver@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – A portion of the McHenry County Prairie Trail that runs through Crystal Lake will be shifted west to a safer and less convoluted path.

Under a plan approved by three local governments, the trail will be relocated down Walkup Avenue via Esther Avenue.

It will reconnect with the trail between Veteran Acres Park and Sterne’s Woods and Fen via a new onstreet path proposed for Burning Bush Trail.

Safety is the paramount reason, according to proposal documents.

The existing path east of downtown has three railroad crossings, while the proposed reroute only crosses one.

It also moves the crossing of busy Route 176 from Glen Avenue, where

cross-traffic doesn’t stop, to the signaled intersection at Walkup Avenue.

The new path would connect with the Ridgefield Trace path north of Veteran Acres.

The project is projected to cost $136,695, most of which will be covered by a federal grant.

The remaining cost will be split evenly, about $14,000 each, among the city of Crystal Lake, the Crystal Lake Park District and the McHenry County Conservation District, all three of which have approved the move.

Work is expected to take place this year.

The 26-mile Prairie Trail goes through eight McHenry County municipalities and a number of parks and preserves between Algonquin and the Wisconsin state line.

It is part of the Grand Illinois Trail system, a 500-mile loop between Lake Michigan and the Mississippi River.

Brain’s ‘games’ turn into battle royale No one said dealing with dementia was going to be easy. Of course, no amount of reading about it really prepares one for the moving-target quality of this illness of the brain.

My mother for years has had slight dementia, stealing years of memories from her mind and causing her to be unable to tell time and remember names.

Recently, though, it has taken a decidedly more challenging turn.

At first, I thought her eyes, which have been failing from a combination of cataracts and a condition called blepharospasms, were playing tricks on her.

She announced one day that there were bugs in her room. After a careful search, I found none. She insisted they were there, one night even wearing a beret to bed to keep “them” off her hair.

Dutifully, I would check and recheck. One night, she tried to show me, swearing they were moving atop the comforter on her bed. Try as I

Then her accounts became more elaborate. The bugs would sit on her bed, she said, and then in the morning fly up through the light fixture. All righty, then.

These days, I can only wish I was dealing with “bugs.” Now my mother is in a constant struggle with “people” who she claims are after everything in her room.

That, of course, means the battle is mine, too.

At first, I thought the best option was to gently tell her that what she was seeing wasn’t there. This just made her angry, accusing me of calling her a liar. No, Mom, I believe that you are seeing something, I’d explain.

It’s just that I don’t see what you are seeing.

With this strategy failing, I sought expert advice. Everything I’ve read suggests that as long as my mother isn’t frightened, I should go along with these figments of her imagination.

That’s far easier said than done when Mom is convinced that someone is trying to break in. I often hear her as she tries to reason with them, telling them that she needs her walker more than they do.

One day I found her with checkbook in hand, ready to write them a check so that they could buy their own. I persuaded her to just leave some cash on her dresser. If they were serious, I said, they’d take the money.

Of course, the money sat there until she realized “they” didn’t want it.

If only that had been the end of it.

But no. Every day brings a new twist in the saga.

In moments of lucidity, my mother’s frustration at her failing mind is palpable. How difficult this all must be for her, too. And how taxing it must be to feel besieged all the time.

We’ve managed to clear a lot of clutter from her room, since we’ve “hidden” items in drawers and closets to keep them from being “stolen.”

A few times I’ve had to move quickly, such as when she tried to move a radio that was still plugged into an outlet. Or when she tried to stuff a large article of clothing into an already overstuffed drawer.

So far, she’s managed to not break anything or hurt herself. I’m hoping that streak continues.

Meanwhile, I’m trying to outwit a wily opponent. Every time I score a victory, Mom’s illness changes the rules of the game. If nothing else, it’s making me more resourceful and a lot more patient.

Nope, no one said it’d be easy. For her or for me.

McHenry County Conservation District’s Wildlife Resource Center manager who will live on the ground for a few days while they grow flight feathers, IDNR officials said.

Taking a baby animal from the wild could be devastating to the animal’s health, local wildlife experts warned.

“No human caretaker is as good as the animal’s original parent,” Denham said.

Denham also encouraged residents to keep their cats indoors, as they have been known to destroy rabbit nests, and have been reported to climb in trees to get to a bird’s nest.

Dogs also should be monitored around litters of baby animals.

Fox Valley Wildlife Center’s Tallulah the turkey has recently served as a surrogate mother to baby ducks orphaned after a hawk captured and killed their mother.

WONDER LAKE – They might look vulnerable and unattended, but wildlife experts say baby animals should be left alone.

It’s common this time of year for residents to discover baby rabbits, squirrels, fox, geese and other animals that don’t seem to have a mother nearby, said Sara Denham, manager of the McHenry County Conservation District’s Wildlife Resource Center.

“A lot of people think wildlife acts like human parents and hover over their young,” Denham said. “Just because you don’t see mom doesn’t mean she’s not caring for that animal.”

For instance, Illinois Department of Natural Resources officials said, a fawn will lay still to camouflage itself in the woods until it can keep up with its mother.

Does will not stand near the fawn because it would alert predators to their presence, but they will return once people leave the area.

Baby birds, another common cause for concern for well-meaning residents, often leave the nest before they can fly. The parents will continue to feed these fledglings

“A lot of people think wildlife acts like human parents and hover over their young. Just because you don’t see mom doesn’t mean she’s not caring for that animal.”

WOODSTOCK – Prep work for construction is expected to start this week on an estimated $1 million storm sewer project aimed at reducing flooding in a north side neighborhood.

A new storm sewer line will start from the area where Ash Avenue intersects Tappan Street and Walnut Drive, and extend north along Tappan Street connecting to the Silver Creek runoff.

“There have been flooding issues in the Ash-Walnut area for a number of years,” Woodstock City Engineer Al Wilson said. “Some of the sewers, they’re not in good shape. Some are undersized – we’re upsizing it. It should show significant improvement.”

There are about 30 homes in the area that experience flooding in their houses or yards after heavy rainfall, Wilson said.

Depending on weather, this week crews will start pavement removal, tree removal and put down temporary pavement striping to reroute traffic at

Tappan Street and West Melody Lane, where work is starting, Wilson said. In following weeks, excavation and pipe work will continue south on Tappan Street, with the goal to get to Ash Avenue by the end of the summer, he said.

Parking and traffic might be affected by the project, and residents should use caution near construction, according to a news release from the city. Residents can call the Woodstock Public Works Department at 815-338-6118 with questions or concerns.

The project is funded by the city and grants from the Federal Housing and Urban Development’s Community Development Block Grant program, which are administered by McHenry County’s Planning and Development Department.

The city has received about $485,000 in grants for the project, according to the release, and will apply for more to support the final phase of the project next year. In addition to the grant money, Wilson said the city is spending about $112,000 on the first two phases of the project.

McHenry County state’s attorney to McHenry County drug court program graduates rearrested, according to government statistics.

In McHenry County, the 22nd Circuit Adult Drug Court has recorded a 12 percent recidivism rate from those who have participated since the program’s inception.

“Drug court is so effective because it addresses criminal behavior in a completely different way,” McHenry Police Chief John Jones said.

Also graduating were Daniel Brennan, Paul Carriveau, Ryan Chencinski, Gregg Lockhart, Victor Musch, Christina Stankus, Kenneth Szamlewski, Anthony Weil and Robert Whitney.

The county’s drug court program is presided over by Judge Charles Weech.

“You made it through the tough times. You navigated through the drug court and made probably, what I think, is the most monumental change in your lives,” State’s Attorney Lou Bianchi said.

Each of the graduates received a certificate of completion and had a chance to reflect on what the program has meant to them and thank those who have helped them along the way.

Beaty said the most important thing to remember for those in the program is to remain honest with yourself and others.

“Just be as honest as you can. Don’t fear the program,” he said.

Beaty now spends as much of his time as he can giving back. He works as a McHenry County outreach coordinator for A Man in Recovery Foundation, and also hands out free naloxone kits to anyone who might need it to save someone’s life. “(Drug court) gave me a chance that I never gave myself,” Beaty said, tearful.

Schools warn of closures without budget

By IVAN MORENO

able to stay open. That’s not a threat.”

John Pearson, the superintendent of East Alton-Wood River Community High School District 14, said the only way to balance their budget after years of cuts would be to lay off 40 percent of the staff.

The superintendents said they favored Rauner’s idea of adding more funding to schools without a formula

change because they prefer the certainty of having the money. Some of the Democratic state lawmakers who represent them agreed.

“Let’s give these men and women here that run our schools that have the responsibility of educating our youth, let’s give them some certainty right now moving forward,” said Rep. Dan Beiser, a Democrat from Alton.

Education funding is the only portion of the budget for the current year that Rauner signed, meaning schools have largely been spared the consequences of the budget impasse.

Sen. Andy Manar, a Democrat from Bunker Hill sponsoring the formula change, said his plan would ensure that school districts see no cuts over the next four years with a $400 million investment from the state.

His plan would gradually change districts’ reliance on property taxes and take local wealth into account when distributing funds. Over time, the state would shift more of its financial support toward needier districts.

Without his formula change, Manar said, poorer districts would continue to suffer and “this system is going to continue to erode.”

The total budget for schools is expected to be about $10 billion for the fiscal year beginning July 1.

The Associated Press SPRINGFIELD – Illinois superintendents warned of school closures and staff layoffs Tuesday as they implored state lawmakers to pass a budget to give them certainty for the fall when the new academic year begins.

The challenge facing superintendents is that the epic partisan gridlock that has left the state without a budget for 11 months is spilling over into education, with ideological differences over how to proceed with funding.

Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner is asking lawmakers for $55 million more to fully fund the general state aid to schools instead of prorating it like it’s been done the past seven years to balance the books. Senate Democrats, meanwhile, say that while more money is good, the state’s complicated, 20-yearold school funding formula must be overhauled now so it’s fairer to property-tax-poor districts.

But superintendents from districts including Kankakee, Moline and Streator expressed worry Tuesday that there’s no agreement for next year yet.

They say they’ll have to deplete their reserves to open this fall and that some might not make it all year.

Their message came on the same day the Democrat-led Senate approved their

News from across the state Board approves U of Chicago hospital expansion

NORMAL – A state review board has approved a $269 million expansion proposal from the University of Chicago Medical Center that includes an adult trauma center.

The Illinois Health Facilities and Services Review Board unanimously approved the plan Tuesday in Normal.

Community activists have been pushing for years for adult trauma care on Chicago’s South Side, an area without such care since 1991.

The University of Chicago now must gain approval to be a Level 1 adult trauma center from the Chicago Trauma Network and the Illinois Department of Public Health. Hospital officials said

Ex-U.S. Rep. Reynolds wants to plead guilty in tax case

CHICAGO – Former U.S. Rep. Mel Reynolds said in a handwritten court filing posted Tuesday that he wants to plead guilty to misdemeanor federal charges of failing to file a tax return.

“I request to come to court at the earliest time possible to enter my plea of guilty,” Reynolds wrote in the filing. A status hearing is scheduled for May 19.

Reynolds is acting as his own attorney.

Reynolds was arrested April 11 at an Atlanta airport when he arrived from South Africa after failing to attend an earlier hearing in the tax case. U.S. District Judge John Darrah ordered him taken into custody.

He is being held at a detention center in Kankakee.

Hearing postponed on proposed Lucas Museum

CHICAGO – A hearing has been postponed in a civil case aimed at halting construction on filmmaker George Lucas’ proposed art museum in Chicago.

The hearing was scheduled for Tuesday morning in Chicago federal court but was later postponed until June 15. Legal maneuvers and public statements preceded the status hearing.

Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel last week turned to an appeals court to seek the dismissal of the lawsuit filed by a parks advocacy group that opposes the proposed lakefront museum.

That move came after Lucas’ wife said the wrangling led them to look for sites in other cities.

The judge has said he could lift an order halting construction while the litigation proceeds. But he warned that builders would have to dismantle any structures if the parks group eventually prevails.

Ind. continues to pursue Illiana Expressway proposal

MUNSTER, Ind. – The Indiana Department of Transportation has agreed to pay to make changes to an environmental impact statement to try to revive the proposed Illiana Expressway toll road project linking northern Illinois and northwestern Indiana.

INDOT submitted a document April 25 in U.S. District Court in Chicago stating it had reached an agreement with the Illinois Department of Transportation to pay for the technical work to comply with the court’s order on the expressway.

A judge ruled last year that the federal government’s approval of the 47-mile highway was “arbitrary and capricious” and violated U.S. environmental law.

INDOT spokesman Will Wingfield told The (Munster) Times the agency estimates it will cost less than $150,000 to revise the document. IDOT spokesman Guy Tridgell said Illinois is not pursuing the project.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS Sanders’ W.Va. win makes measure that would create a up little ground on Clinton so-called Right of Publicity in the LOUISVILLE, Ky. – White House dreams fading, Bernie Sanders added another state to his tally against Hillary Clinton with a win in West Virginia on Tuesday – a victory that will do little to slow the former secretary of state’s steady march toward the Democratic presidential nomination.

Meanwhile, Republican Donald Trump also won there and in Nebraska, a week after he cleared the field of his remaining rivals.

They were not victories likely to heal the party’s wounds, as some GOP leaders continue to hold off offering their endorsement of the party’s presumptive nominee.

The result in the West Virginia Democratic primary underscored the awkward position Clinton and the party’s establishment face as they try to turn their focus to the general election. Sanders has won 19 states to Clinton’s 23, but she is 94 percent of the way to winning the nomination – just 145 delegates short of the 2,383 required.

LONDON – London Mayor Sadiq Khan on Tuesday slammed Donald Trump’s “ignorant” view of Islam, after the Republican presidential contender suggested Khan could be exempted from a proposed temporary ban on Muslims entering the U.S. Last year Trump proposed “a total and complete” ban on foreign Muslims entering the U.S. “until our country’s representatives can figure out what the hell is going on.”

Key Senate Republicans show support for Trump The ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON – Key Senate Republicans voiced optimism Tuesday about Donald Trump’s presidential prospects in November, signaling clearly to the GOP rank and file to unite behind the bombastic billionaire and turn their energy toward battling Democrat Hillary Clinton. But it was uncertain whether they could quiet the doubters.

“We have a nominee, it looks like he may well be very competitive, and we want to win the White House,” Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., told reporters.

He also said, “We know that Hillary Clinton will be four more years of Barack Obama.

I think that’s going to in the end be enough to unify Republicans across the country.”

The comments came as voters in West Virginia gave Trump yet another primary victory on Tuesday.

Doubt and angst over Trump remained palpable as GOP lawmakers returned to Capitol Hill from a weeklong recess that saw him effectively clinch the presidential nomination. For some, the question of whether they were backing their party’s standard-bearer – a no-brainer in a normal election year – proved too much to answer.

“We’re not doing any Trump questions today,” an aide to Sen. Mark Kirk of Illinois told a crowd of reporters as Kirk, one of the most endangered Senate Republicans, sped into a meeting.

Another Republican who’s up for re-election, Tim Scott of South Carolina, offered his support, but like others managed to sound grudging and backhanded in the process.

“I’m supporting the Republican candidate, and it happens to be Donald Trump,” he said.

A third, Sen. Johnny Isakson of Georgia, deflected questions about whether he would back Trump, saying he’s fo-

“The only thing I can do is get re-elected so we have a Republican majority in the Senate,” Isakson said. “I will support the Republican ticket and I’m endorsing me for my Senate seat.”

The comments reflected ongoing divisions in a party still reeling over Trump’s success in locking up the nomination and pushing his two remaining rivals from the race last week. McConnell and others have decided that the best approach is to get behind Trump.

But especially in light of House Speaker Paul Ryan’s surprise decision to withhold his support, unity is elusive for now.

That could start to change Thursday, when Ryan, McConnell and other congressional Republicans meet with Trump, who himself has downplayed the meeting and suggested he can win the election unity or no.

Ryan defended his stance anew Tuesday, insisting that he was just being honest in saying Trump had more work to do to show he could unify the party after alienating numerous voters, including women, Hispanics and many conservatives.

“It is going to take more than a week to unify this par-

ty,” Ryan said in an interview with the Wall Street Journal broadcast online. “If we just pretend to unify without unifying, then we’ll only be at half-strength, and it won’t be good for us in the fall.”

But some Republicans argued that Ryan himself was making it harder to unify by essentially giving other Republicans cover to refuse to get behind Trump.

“I didn’t really appreciate his comments,” said Sen. Jim Inhofe of Oklahoma. “They have to establish a workable relationship, and I think they will, but that’s not a good way to start.”

Yet after a bruising primary season, others were not yet ready to move on. GOP Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas, Trump’s leading opponent before he dropped out last week, made clear he was in no hurry to endorse the mogul and reality TV star who defeated him.

“The voters in the primary seem to have made a choice and we’ll see what happens as the months go forward,” Cruz told conservative talk radio host Glenn Beck.

Cruz went so far as to leave open the possibility of restarting his campaign if he should score a surprise win in Nebraska, while making clear he didn’t anticipate that outcome.

Obama to be 1st sitting president to visit Hiroshima

By NANCY BENAC

The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Eager to heal old wounds and galvanize new generations, President Barack Obama this month will become the first sitting American president to visit Hiroshima, where seven decades ago the U.S. dropped the devastating atomic bomb that ushered in the nuclear age.

By visiting the peace park near the epicenter of the 1945 attack, the president hopes to reinvigorate efforts worldwide to eliminate nuclear weapons. But in a sign of the extraordinary political sensitivities attached to the gesture, the White House is going out of its way to stress Obama will not come bearing an apology.

Deputy national security adviser Ben Rhodes said flatly: “He will not revisit the decision to use the atomic bomb at the end of World War II.” Instead, Rhodes said in a statement, Obama will spotlight the toll of war and offer a “forward-looking vision” of a non-nuclear world.

Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, who will accompany Obama on the visit, said no apology is expected – or necessary.

“The prime minister of the world’s only nation to have suffered atomic at-

The U.S. attack on Hiroshima on Aug. 6, 1945, killed 140,000 people. A second bomb, dropped on Nagasaki three days

later, killed 70,000. The bombings scarred generations of Japanese, both physically and mentally, but many Americans believe they hastened the end of World War II and saved countless other lives.

Japan announced it would surrender on Aug. 15. As for Obama’s visit, the Japanese people are ready for this moment, seven decades in the making.

In a NHK television poll this month,

70 percent of Japanese respondents said they wanted Obama to visit, compared to 2 percent against it.

Survivors, especially, have long been waiting. The number of survivors who are recognized as “hibakusha” and entitled to medical assistance from the Japanese government was more than 183,000 as of March. Their average age is now over 80.

“The day has finally come,” said 91-year-old Sunao Tsuboi, a survivor of the bombing and head of a survivors group in the western Japanese city.

“We are not asking for an apology,” Tsuboi told NHK. “All we want is to see him lay flowers at the peace park and lower his head in silence. This would be a first step toward abolishing nuclear weapons.”

The president’s visit, at the end of a previously announced trip to Japan and Vietnam, has been widely anticipated since Secretary of State John Kerry went to the Hiroshima memorial in April.

Hiroshima Mayor Kazumi Matsui praised Obama’s plan as a “bold decision based on conscience and rationality” and said he hopes the president will listen to survivors’ stories. Nagasaki Mayor Tomihisa Taue said the president would “send a powerful message, in his own words, toward achieving a world without nuclear weapons.”

That’s on top of the approximately 1,000 previously authenticated exoplanets detected by the Kepler Space Telescope since its launch in 2009.

Scientists taking part in the news conference were ecstatic – it’s the biggest planetary collection ever verified in a single swoop.

“One of the great questions of all time, and one of NASA’s science objectives in our journey to the solar system and beyond, is whether we are alone in the universe,” said Paul Hertz, director of astrophysics for NASA. “The first step in answering this question is to detect and understand the population of planets around other stars.”

According to NASA, more than 3,200 exoplanets have now been confirmed, out of nearly 5,000 candidates discovered to date from all sources, including ground observatories.

But the main event will be Kelly’s meeting with Trump, whose tirades against her have included a sneering reference on CNN to her menstrual cycle and tweets dismissing her as “lightweight” and “second-rate.”

Speaking with a reporter recently in her cozy Fox News office, she declined to share details of the interview, but took pains to say she isn’t seeking a rematch.

“I understand that this is not a presidential debate. This is an interview,” she said, then smiled. “Let me put it this way: I have nothing to prove. I think the American people know I can be plenty tough on any political candidate, and this is not going to be about proving anything to anybody.”

Detente began last month when Kelly had a private one-on-one with Trump.

“I was a little nervous to go into Trump Tower that day, because I didn’t know what to expect. But from the moment I entered his office, he could not have been nicer. I won’t say it wasn’t awkward, but there was nothing acrimonious between us. It felt like a journalist talking to the candidate about the race. We did not touch on anything about us. We did not touch the dustup. I asked him for an interview. He said he’d think it over.”

NEW YORK – When Megyn Kelly sits down with Donald Trump for her prime-time special on the Fox broadcasting network, the Fox News Channel host hopes to call a truce to the war waged by the presumptive Republican nominee since he began slamming her after last August’s Republican debate, where he was galled by her tough questioning as one of its moderators.

Being targeted by Trump has helped raise her profile and boost her star power, “but none of that takes into Donald consideration the down- Trump side of being in Trump’s crosshairs,” she said during a recent interview with The Associated Press.

“It’s been a year of security guards and closed blinds. I hope this interview will be a chance to clear the air in front of the American public, to get it over with, then move on.”

Kelly said she’s excited to be venturing from the harder-edged format of “The Kelly File,” where she has reigned since 2013. Airing May 17 at 7 p.m.,

“Megyn Kelly Presents” is produced by veteran Barbara Walters collaborator Bill Geddie, with Walters’ “Most Fascinating People” specials as its model.

“I’m not Barbara,” Kelly said, “but this is an opportunity to have a different kind of conversation than I’m used to.”

Those conversations will include actor Michael Douglas, a cancer survivor whose health has been an object of concern in recent media reports. (“He’s looking good,” reported Kelly.)

She will also talk with Robert Shapiro, famously part of O.J. Simpson’s defense team for his murder trial.

“I was in law school Megyn Kelly when that case was being tried, and I was riveted,” said Kelly, who practiced law before getting into TV. “It’s not that I think O.J. Simpson is innocent. But it was great lawyering by Shapiro. To me, he’s a rock star.”

Also on tap: Laverne Cox, the transgender activist and actress who appears on Netflix’s drama series “Orange is the New Black” and who, said Kelly, “puts a human face on a group of people who are still maligned, in many parts of the country, with impunity.”

Put frivolous Starbucks lawsuit on ice You probably recall the case where a woman sued McDonald’s because the coffee she was served was too hot. There was an obvious logic to that lawsuit, because we all understand coffee served too hot can burn your lips and mouth.

When we read recently a woman was suing Starbucks because her cold coffee drink had too much ice in it, we wondered for a moment if we’d inadvertently clicked to the website of The Onion, the satirical newspaper with fictional stories.

But no, it was MSNBC.com which reported an Illinois woman, Stacy Pincus, had filed suit in Northern Illinois Federal Court against Starbucks for $5 million over the amount of ice used in its drinks.

Pincus’ suit says because of the amount of ice Starbucks uses in its iced beverages, customers often end up with half of the amount of drink listed on Starbucks’ menus in fluid ounces. The suit

alleges Starbucks purposefully is tricking customers into paying for more product than what they are provided with.

This has all the indicators of a lawsuit intended to do nothing more than get money out of a multibillion-dollar corporation.

Setting aside our cynical interpretation of the actions of Pincus and her legal representatives, Hart McLaughlin & Eldridge LLC of Chicago, let’s presume for a moment Pincus’ outrage is legitimate.

Did she not, even for a moment, consider returning the iced coffee drink and requesting one with less ice in its place?

If she didn’t, was this her first-ever visit to Starbucks?

Because if you’ve ever stood in line behind someone ordering, as an anonymous barista quoted

by MatadorNetwork.com put it, a “triple grande half-caf two-pump vanilla two-pump hazelnut halfsoy half-nonfat 1.5 Splenda latte,”

you know full well Starbucks will make every drink to every customer’s exacting specifications.

Starbucks isn’t unique in the business world. If you are dissatisfied with your purchase, the overwhelming majority of businesses, large or small, will replace the item with something more to your liking, or otherwise work with you to achieve customer satisfaction. Which is why we strongly suspect Pincus isn’t quite as outraged about the ice in her drink as her lawsuit would suggest.

If this is found to be a frivolous lawsuit, as we suspect, Pincus should be ordered to pay all legal costs.

The decision to sue a business should be a last resort, to be set aside in favor of first seeking satisfaction as a customer.

Let’s try harder to be business owners and customers, not defendants and plaintiffs.

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.

NAFTA killed middle class

To the Editor: You can tell Mike Madigan and the rest of the legislators that the middle class went out the window when Bill Clinton signed the NAFTA bill. NAFTA do we have to?

Ford Motor just announced a new factory in Mexico, where labor rates are $6.50 to $8 an hour versus $55 all-inclusive in the U.S. When I go to new car showrooms, 80 percent to 90 percent of the cars have engine, transmission or final assembly in Mexico, and I don’t know what percent of the minor parts are made there.

People say to put an import duty on the cars coming to the U.S. Let’s say the cost to produce the car in Mexico is $13,000 with U.S. import duty of $2,000, so to the U.S. buyer, the car costs $15,000. To the rest of the world, the car costs $13,000. I don’t think too many buyers outside the U.S. would be willing to pay an extra $2,000 for a car made in the U.S. as long as the U.S. buyer has a job and can afford the $15,000. There goes volume production.

During the past 10 years, I have never seen so many stupid laws and proce-

VIEWS Ramesh Ponnuru ity, honesty and all-around fitness for office. Trump’s numbers in polls against Hillary Clinton may improve as many Republican voters accept him as their nominee. (Then again, they may not, depending on whether Democrats quickly start running ads attacking him.)

Some Republican officeholders and voters still will consider Trump unfit for office and no conservative – but his supporters, old and new, will try to shame them into supporting the presumptive nominee. Newt Gingrich, who for months has been backing Trump without explicitly endorsing him, told radio host Sean Hannity on Tuesday night if you’re not for him you’re “functionally for Hillary Clinton” and therefore for a “radical Supreme Court.”

Gingrich and other Trump supporters will have to overcome five problems in making this case.

First, Trump himself has said

Fifth Amendment won’t protect County Board

To the Editor: When I was told about what was said at the March 17 County Board meeting held in order to address the accusations made against them regarding their IMRF pensions, I had to listen to the audio for myself. What I heard from most of the County Board members was unbelievable and showed incredible lack of self-awareness, but the statements by Michael Walkup were the winner of the night. He stated he believed he and his fellow members should plead the Fifth Amendment in order to be allowed to collect their pensions.

If you were innocent of wrongdoing, why would you be pleading the Fifth Amendment? It does not make sense.

The Fifth Amendment would not be

quite recently he does not need Republican unity to win the election. So Gingrich is asking Republican voters who have serious misgivings about Trump to support him even though he himself is hardly asking them to do so.

Second, his most vocal supporters have spent the primaries trashing the Republican Party and declaring anti-Trump conservatives irrelevant.

It’s a little late to flip the script now.

Third, the message – vote Trump, you idiot crybabies – may just fall flat because a lot of voters dislike being addressed this way.

Fourth, conservatives don’t have much reason to trust Trump on the Supreme Court. He has given no indication of caring about judicial conservatism. If he put up non-conservative nominees, he would win praise for his bipartisanship and could make one of those deals with the Democrats he always is promising. What would hold him back? His word?

Fifth, and I think most important, Trump may spend much of the campaign too far behind Clinton for all this shaming to have any force.

If the candidates are neck and neck,

then maybe Republicans on the fence could be swayed by the argument they have to vote for Trump or see Clinton in power. If Trump is behind by eight points, on the other hand, then a lot of Republican voters won’t see themselves as having to make the agonizing choice to back Trump to stop Clinton.

If Clinton has a consistently large lead, Trump won’t get the 90-plus percent of the Republican vote his predecessor nominees got. A significant fraction of Republican voters will feel free not to vote for Trump because they will assume, accurately, Clinton will be president whatever they do. And the root cause of that assumption will be Trump is such a weak general-election candidate.

In that case, the functional allies of Clinton, the enablers of her judicial nominees, will turn out to have been those, like Gingrich and Hannity, who helped that weak candidate win the Republican nomination.

In the past four presidential elections, the Republican nominee has never won less than 90 percent of the Republican vote. Republicans won the popular vote only one of those times, in 2004, and when they did, they carried 93 percent of Republican voters. Donald Trump has defied the odds before, but they are against his achieving this degree of party unity.

Trump has won more primary votes than any previous nominee, and he is going to add to that number in the weeks to come. But he also will be a nominee with a record number of primary votes cast for his opponents.

And to say the race has been divisive is an understatement: The day he clinched the nomination, he suggested, insanely, Ted Cruz’s father somehow was involved in the assassination of John F. Kennedy. Cruz responded by mentioning Trump once bragged about his close calls with venereal disease.

A lot of Republican officeholders – past, present and would-be-in-thefuture – rapidly will endorse Trump, regardless of what they previously said about his psychological stabil-

Hospital merger results in Mercyhealth name change

Mercy Health System and Rockford Health System announced that the company will be called Mercyhealth, a name officials hope will unify its facilities in southern Wisconsin and northern Illinois.

The new brand expression will be “a passion for making lives better.” The new brand will include a complete redesign of both organization’s corporate identities, websites and patient education materials.

The two systems merged in January 2015, creating a regional health system including five hospitals, more than 765 physicians, 100 outpatient clinics, plus other services sites in more than 40 communities in northern Illinois, including Algonquin, Crystal Lake, Harvard, McHenry and Woodstock.

By ADAM ALLINGTON The Associated Press

CHICAGO – A new poll says more than 40 percent of America’s baby boomers stayed with their employer for more than 20 years. But it’s unlikely that their children or grandchildren will experience the same job tenure.

The survey of more than 1,000 Americans 50 and older by the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research shows that 41 percent of those employed workers have spent two decades with the same company, including 18 percent who’ve stayed at least 30 years.

But it’s a trend more common among the older baby boomers than younger ones, and traditional pensions appear to be one of the driving factors.

Among those who have had at least 20 years with a single employer, the survey found that about half are excited about retirement, but a third are anxious about their post-work lives.

David McQuinn, 61, is retiring Tuesday after 30 years with MiTek, a construction and engineering firm in suburban St. Louis. He says there were times he thought about leaving, but he liked his co-workers and his senior position and also owned stock in the company.

“I started working young, and I’ve been a man in a hurry my whole life,” he says, “and now I’m in a hurry to not be in a hurry.”

His experience exemplifies a trait among boomers: more attachment to the company than the younger generations. But even among older Ameri-

David McQuinn poses for a portrait Tuesday in his office at MiTek, a construction and engineering firm in Chesterfield, Mo. McQuinn, 61, retired Tuesday after 30 years with the suburban St. Louis company, a length of time with one employer that is unlikely to be achieved by many younger workers. cans, there’s a gap in employment tenure: Half of those aged 65 and up but only a third of those age 50 to 64 have stayed with the same employer for at least two decades.

The shift may be less about differences in attitude than changes in jobs – and benefits.

About two-thirds of those who stayed with one employer for 20 or more years had a pension, according to

the survey, compared with only a third of those who had never stayed that long with one employer. Those defined benefit pension plans are slowly disappearing. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that only 18 percent of private workers were covered by these plans in 2011, down from 35 percent in the early 1990s. More common now are plans such as 401(k)s, which are more portable from one employer to another.

The agency has reported that a larger proportion of older workers than younger workers had more tenure on the job. For example it said, in January 2014, the average tenure with the current employer was 7.9 years for people 45 to 54, compared with 10.4 years for those 55 to 64.

“Think of all the choices people have today. I mean, who ever heard of a social-media analyst five years ago?” said Joe Coughlin, the director of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s AgeLab. Coughlin says higher churn in the labor market also means companies will have to work harder to hire and retain the workers they need, and this creates leverage.

“Millennials think this way instinctively,” he said. “They’ve seen their parents laid off by these large corporations, so there is less trust.”

NEW YORK – Audra McDonald will soon be stepping away from her new Broadway show for the best of reasons: The six-time Tony Award-winner is pregnant.

McDonald on Tuesday announced that she is expecting and will take maternity leave from “Shuffle Along” beginning July 24. She will return to the Tony Award-nominated musical this winter. McDonald also had to postpone taking her “Lady Day at Emerson’s Bar & Grill” to London.

In her absence, the role of Lottie Gee will be played by Grammy Award-winner Rhiannon Giddens. The production also said Savion Glover, the show’s choreographer, will step into the show.

Rock star and philanthropist Jon Bon Jovi listens to a question as he stands with his wife, Dorothea Hurley, in Jon Bon Jovi Soul Foundation’s Soul Kitchen during a grand opening Tuesday for the B.E.A.T. Center, which stands for Bringing Everyone All Together, in Toms River, N.J.

Bon Jovi opens hunger center in shore town hit hard by Sandy TOMS RIVER, N.J. – Jon Bon Jovi knows he can’t help society by curing cancer or splitting atoms. But he can use his celebrity to command the attention of millions of people, including some of the wealthiest and most powerful.

The Sayreville, New Jersey-born rocker and his wife, Dorothea, are joining with local charities and wealthy fellow philanthropists to tackle hunger and poverty in a shore town that was devastated by Superstorm Sandy.

He and his Jon Bon Jovi Soul Foundation held a grand opening Tuesday for the B.E.A.T. Center, which stands for Bringing Everyone All Together. The center in Toms River is designed as a one-stop facility to help people get food stamps, health care and culinary-related job training. It also provides meals for at-risk children and seniors.

Surrounded by crates of potatoes, apples and turnips and pallets of canned ravioli and green beans, the singer best known for rock anthems like “Livin’ On A Prayer,” “You Give Love A Bad Name” and “Wanted Dead Or Alive” said hunger is something he can actually do something about.

“We didn’t need scientists to find a cure,” he said. “There are so many wonderful causes and so many passionate people that are addressing them.

We have been inspired by so many of our in-need neighbors who have come seeking help.”

He and several others active with the center said one of its main goals is not just to feed the lines at food pantries, but to also permanently shorten them.

The center will house a second JBJ Soul Kitchen community restaurant, where diners pay a minimum $10 donation or do volunteer work for their meals. The first one opened in 2011 in Red Bank.

MINNEAPOLIS – A Colorado prison inmate has filed a paternity claim with a Minnesota court against the estate of Prince, the latest claimant in what could grow into a long line of people asserting that they’re entitled to a piece of the musician’s fortune.

Carlin Q. Williams, of Kansas City, Missouri, is seeking DNA testing to determine whether Prince is his biological father, according to papers filed in Carver County District Court in the Minneapolis suburb of Chaska that were released Tuesday. In an accompanying affidavit, Williams’ mother, Marsha Henson, contends that she conceived Williams while having sex with Prince at a Kansas City, Missouri, hotel in July 1976.

Lawyers overseeing his estate have told the court that no will for Prince has been found, though they were still searching. Under Minnesota law, children are first in line to inherit when someone dies without a will, which would put Williams ahead of Prince’s siblings if the court agrees he is Prince’s son.

Papers filed earlier by Prince’s sister, Tyka Nelson, said he had no known children and listed her and five half-siblings as Prince’s only known heirs.

The judge overseeing the estate case on Friday authorized genetic testing on a sample of Prince’s blood in case it’s necessary to determine who’s entitled to share in his estate, and gave creditors four months to file claims.

Already, a Kansas City woman who says she’s Prince’s half-sister has come forward, as well as a California man who contends Prince gave

him control over his music catalog and vault via a verbal agreement in the mid-1990s.

Trainor pulls video after she says waist was altered

NEW YORK – Meghan Trainor has pulled her new music video after she said video editors altered her waist to appear smaller.

Trainor removed the video for “Me Too” from YouTube and Vevo on Monday after she discovered she had been digitally altered. She said Monday on Snapchat that “they photoshopped the crap out of me and I’m so sick of it and I’m over it, so I took it down until they fix it.” She added: “My waist is not that teeny.”

An unaltered version of the video launched Tuesday. The 22-year-old singer, who won a Grammy earlier this year, sings about self-love and body acceptance in her worldwide hit, “All About That Bass.” “Me Too” is the second single from Trainor’s new album, “Thank You,” out Friday.

Baby box program encourages safe sleeping

By KATHY MATHESON The Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA – Doctors and nurses hope to lower the city’s high infant mortality rate by distributing baby boxes that encourage safe sleeping habits for newborns and their caregivers.

Temple University Hospital last week began giving out the cardboard boxes that are lined with a mattress and function like a bassinet. They’re meant to discourage parents from sleeping with their babies, which could lead to accidental suffocation.

The program is the largest effort of its kind by an academic health system in the U.S., hospital officials said, although that could not immediately be confirmed. It’s based on a successful baby box initiative in Finland that began in the 1930s and lowered that country’s infant mortality rate.

At Temple, Brianna Devero received the first box a few days ago after her son, Steven Tonzelli Jr., was born. The boy arrived two weeks early – before her house was ready for the new arrival.

“He loved it because it was like sleeping in the bassinet from the hospital,” Devero said Friday. “And it was really just good because it was something that I could use just right then and there, and didn’t have to worry about assembling anything.”

Philadelphia, which has one of the nation’s highest poverty rates, has an infant mortality rate nearly double the U.S. average – 11.2 deaths per 1,000 births compared with six per 1,000 nationwide, according to the city Health Department. The rate is even higher in some low-income neighborhoods that Temple serves.

In an effort to reduce infant mortality, the boxes, which are functioning bassinets complete with a sheet and mattress as well as essential baby supplies, will be given free-of-charge to all mothers who deliver at the hospital.

Poor families sometimes don’t have the resources or education to properly care for newborns. Temple’s box initiative aims to reduce risky behavior associated with infant deaths, such as sharing beds without taking precautions or using unsafe bedding.

The hospital plans to give out 3,000 boxes for free over the next year – one

for each woman who gives birth there, regardless of need. The boxes, which include clothing, diapers and educational materials, are worth $80 to $100 and were partly paid for with grants and crowdfunding, officials said.

“We have every hope that our patients will find this a useful tool in caring for their newborns,” said Dr.

Gail Herrine, medical director of the postpartum unit.

Temple patient Victoria Mack received a box Friday for her son Reign – who also arrived unexpectedly early.

“It’s nice to know that you have something that you can go home with ... until when you finally have everything ready to go,” she said.

Report: Bullying is a serious public health problem

By JENNIFER C. KERR The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – Bullying is a “serious public health problem,” and no longer should be dismissed as merely a matter of kids being kids, a leading panel of experts warned Tuesday.

“Its prevalence perpetuates its normalization. But bullying is not a normal part of childhood,” the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine said.

Bullying behavior is seen as early as preschool and peaks during the middle school years, the researchers said.

And the problem has morphed from the traditional bully-in-the-schoolyard scenario to newer forms of electronic aggression, such as cyberbullying on social media sites.

Bullying has “lasting negative consequences and cannot simply be ignored,” said Frederic Rivara, chairman of the committee that wrote the report and a professor of pediatrics and epidemiology at the University of Washington.

“This is a pivotal time for bullying prevention, and while there is not a quick fix or one-size-fits-all solution, the evidence clearly supports preven-

tive and interventional policy and practice,” Rivara added.

The report said both bullies and their victims can suffer short and longterm consequences, including poor grades, anxiety and depression.

The Education Department has said students who are bullied also are at a higher risk of suicide.

Zero-tolerance policies at school, in which students automatically are given suspensions for bullying, don’t help reduce bullying and should be discontinued. Instead, the researchers said, schools should refocus resources on preventative intervention policies

and programs, though it recommended more study on which programs work best. The committee also concluded zero-tolerance policies may lead to an underreporting of bullying – because the consequence of suspension is perceived as too harsh and punitive.

A government report this month on school crime from the National Center for Education Statistics and the Justice Department suggested bullying is down sharply from more than a decade ago. It found the percentage of public schools reporting bullying at least once a week decreased from 29 percent in 1999-2000, to 16 percent in 2013-14.

NEW YORK – The Food and Drug Administration will re-evaluate its definition of “healthy,” which eventually could change how a range of foods are marketed.

In light of evolving research, the FDA said it believes “now is an opportune time to re-evaluate the regulations concerning nutrition content claims, generally, including the term ‘healthy.’ ” The agency plans to solicit public comment on the matter in the near future, Lauren Kotwicki, an FDA representative, said in an email.

The FDA currently allows use of the term “healthy” on packaging only when products meet certain nutrient criteria, which largely revolve around limited levels of fat, cholesterol and sodium.

The issue captured attention last year after the FDA sent a warning letter to the maker of Kind fruit-and-nut bars saying the company’s products should not be labeled as healthy because of their saturated fat levels.

Kind then sought a reevaluation of the term’s definition from the FDA, noting the fat in its bars comes from nuts. It noted the FDA’s rules prevent

comes as dietary trends have shifted, with more people expressing concern about sugar and questioning low-fat or low-calorie diets. But any change in the term’s regulatory definition could take years. The FDA’s final rule on gluten-free labeling, for instance, took more than six years to complete.

In a statement Tuesday, the FDA also noted foods that do not meet all the current regulatory criteria for the term “healthy” are not necessarily unhealthy.

“Conversely, just because a food contains certain ingredients that are considered good for you, such as fruit or nuts, it does not mean that the food can bear a ‘healthy’ nutrient content claim,” the FDA said.

Health-related apps catching on Dear Dr. K: There are so many health-oriented apps for mobile devices these days. But is there any evidence they actually work?

Dear Reader: The number of mobile device health-related apps has exploded in recent years. The most popular ones monitor physical activity. Others deliver helpful reminders or information through text messages.

Various apps aim to help you lose weight, monitor your blood pressure, manage your diabetes or quit smoking.

When you first start using them, the novelty of entering and tracking information can be very engaging. But keeping up that behavior over the long haul can be a challenge. So, can using these apps really make a difference?

Research is starting to weigh in. One study, published in 2015, looked at whether getting texts about lifestyle changes helped to boost heart health. The researchers enrolled 700 people with heart disease. Half were randomly assigned to receive four text messages each week, in addition to their standard care. The texts were semi-personalized. They encouraged participants to exercise more, eat less salt and make other heart-healthy lifestyle changes. The other study subjects received only usual care.

The study lasted six months. By the end, people who got the text messages had reduced their bad cholesterol, blood pressure and weight compared to those who didn’t get text messages.

The American Heart Association recently reviewed 69 studies that evaluated how mobile health (mHealth) technology affects heart disease risk factors. Here’s what they found: • Weight loss: People who used weight-loss apps or mHealth tools plus a comprehensive weight-loss program were more successful over the short term compared with people who tried to lose weight on their own. But

SUDOKU

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff there’s no data about whether people kept weight off beyond 12 months.

• Physical activity: People who used online programs boosted their physical activity more than those who didn’t. But there’s not enough research to show whether wearing a device to monitor physical activity actually helps you move more. My bet is it will. I am impressed by how many people – patients, friends and colleagues – tell me they check their smartphones to see how many steps they’ve taken in a day.

• Smoking cessation: mHealth apps used together with a traditional quit-smoking program may help smokers kick the habit. But the vast majority (about 90 percent) of people using these apps still fail to quit smoking after six months. My bet is mHealth apps, when used as part of a quit-smoking program that includes a community of other people also trying to quit, will prove to be useful.

And mHealth technologies for improving blood pressure, cholesterol and diabetes?

There’s little or no available evidence so far about their effectiveness.

And what about sensors that continuously monitor our bodies and send the information to computers used by our doctors? Too early to tell.

Mobile health technology still is in its infancy. Some applications will prove ineffective. But I’ll bet such technology is a central part of the medical care system within 10 years – and will improve our health.

“wrong,” but your question does make me wonder whether you are ready to settle down. If your sex life was as fulfilling as you would like it to be, you wouldn’t be asking if you are wrong for wanting more. Level with your boyfriend about your feelings to see if you can work this out. However, if the answer is no, then both of you might want to move on.

Dear Abby: We are friends with a couple who married five months ago. My husband, “Ian,” was one of the groomsmen, so we were deeply involved with wedding details a long time before the wedding. Ian and the groom, “Claude,” now are on the same team at work.

Since the wedding, Claude spends a lot of time talking about his wife to anyone within earshot and on social media to the point of excess. (The bride is “perfect, beautiful, lovely” and he’s “so lucky to be married to her,” etc.) Everyone on the team works overtime every night because Claude posts love notes to his wife all day. The team supervisor talked to my husband about it, and asked him to cover Claude’s workload because of his pre-wedding and now post-wedding bliss.

I have filtered the guy’s posts and stopped reading, but Ian feels stuck in the middle at the office. He needs Claude to get his head back in the game and work. How can my husband gently communicate this is affecting Claude’s job performance and driving everyone batty? Ian is afraid if he complains to the supervisor, his friend will feel betrayed. – Overloaded In Alabama Dear Overloaded: The matter should be brought to the attention of their supervisor so the supervisor can handle it before it becomes a morale problem. What’s going on is unprofessional and unfair to the other team members.

The supervisor should tell Ian’s besotted friend the time he’s spending messaging his bride has increased the workload on everyone else, the honeymoon is over and he needs to get his mind back on the tasks at hand.

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

KNEE PAIN?

NEW FDA APPROVED TREATMENT PROVEN TO RELIEVE KNEE PAIN

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

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

WHAT IS OSTEOARTHRITIS (OA)?

HOW DOES THIS TREATMENT WORK?

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

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

WHAT ELSE IS AVAILABLE TO TREAT KNEE PAIN?

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

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

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

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

WHAT IS INJECTED INTO THE KNEE?

GIRLS SOCCER: PRAIRIE RIDGE 2, GRAYSLAKE NORTH 1

FVC Fox champs

Wolves rally to clinch outright division title

By JOHN WILKINSON

jwilkinson@shawmedia.com GRAYSLAKE – It was the kind of day when a team could have collapsed, but Prairie Ridge girls soccer coach Andre Watson was convinced his Wolves wouldn’t give in Tuesday.

To begin with, the crucial Fox Valley Conference Fox Division match had been moved from Prairie Ridge to Grayslake North’s turf field. Then, the Wolves had a goal called back in the 31st minute after one attempt hit the crossbar and a successful follow was ruled offside. Then, in the final three minutes of the first half, the Wolves put the ball in their own net to trail at halftime, 1-0.

“The message (at halftime) was, ‘Those plays happen.’ The ball moves one inch to the left or one inch to the right and that happens. It’s done with, we move on,” Watson said. “That’s something that these guys are really good about and we talked at halftime and said the thing about our team that we’ve seen all year long is our fight.”

The Wolves delivered on their coach’s belief. Jena Berkland and Emily Perhats scored in the second half as Prairie Ridge came from behind to beat the Knights, 2-1, and secure their second consecutive outright FVC Fox title. They have now won at least a share of the division crown four seasons in a row.

“I just knew that we needed to come back, and I just fought as hard as I could, just like the rest of our team,” Berkland said.

The Wolves (13-6-1, 6-0 FVC Fox) fell behind, 1-0, with 2:56 left in the first half. Lexi Petersen tried to head a Grayslake North throw-in away from the Wolves’ box, but it looped back toward her own goal and went in off the fingertips of goalkeeper Taylor Golt.

“I think we just really picked each other up,” Golt said. “Just being very positive and supporting each other, we’re a very supportive team. ... I think after that first goal we realized the only way they could score was by us scoring on ourselves. I think after that we really picked it up. Halftime came, and we just shut them down.”

Berkland evened the score 10 minutes into the second half, weaving into the box before finishing with her left foot.

After winning a conference title in his first season, Wolves coach Andre Watson joked, “I guess it’s time to retire, right? Go out on a high.”

10:25 to play. Melissa Bear sent an in-swinging corner to the center of the box, where Perhats came free of her

mark and sent a clean, powerful header into the net.

“Melissa Bear is always playing great balls in, and I just knew I had to get in front of the goalkeeper and get my head on it,” Perhats said.

The Wolves controlled the majority of the possession early in the de facto title match, but the Knights (13-5-3, 4-1) were dangerous when they got on the ball, forcing Golt to make five saves.

“I think the biggest thing for us is to play our game, focus on what we do well, play our possession game, move the ball around,” Watson said.

“A game like this you’ve got to settle your nerves and you’ve got to make sure that you can dictate the pace of the game and I thought we did that.

“Hats off to Grayslake North. I think they have some very talented players, they were a very good team, they had just as many opportunities as we did. It was great to see for us to capitalize on those opportunities that we had.”

BOYS TRACK AND FIELD: FOX VALLEY CONFERENCE MEET

Senior 3-sport athlete hopes to go out in style

By MIKE DeFABO

mdefabo@shawmedia.com

• Wednesday, May 11, 2016

S

ometimes Kyle Ross looks back on his senior year at Jacobs and wonders how he balanced it all – student council meetings, participating in the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, helping to organize Relay for Life, leading the student section at the football games.

“Now that I think about it, it’s been a crazy year,” Ross said.

And that’s not even including sports.

In an era of specialization, Ross is the only senior in this year’s graduating class at Jacobs who played three sports for all four of his high school years. Only a handful of other seniors in the area have accomplished that feat, and even fewer have enjoyed as much success as Ross.

He has already earned All-Fox Valley Conference honors twice in cross country and once in basketball.

Now, at Friday’s Fox Valley Conference track meet at Dundee-Crown, Ross has a unique opportunity when he competes in the 800 meters, 4x800 relay and 4x400 relay. Although there is no clear definition of all-conference in track, winning a medal would be the equivalent to capturing all-conference in all three sports.

“I just love to compete,” said Ross, who recently was named Jacobs’ male athlete of the year. “I only have a few track meets left and then my athletic career is over. I guess my motivation is just leaving it all out there and having that great senior season.”

Jacobs head cross country coach and assistant track coach Kevin Christian said they’ve talked with the school’s “unofficial historians” — longtime basketball coach Jim Hinkle and longtime track coach and athletic director Crenden Keller — and they couldn’t think of an athlete who has been all-conference in three sports in school history.

“He doesn’t like to just sit around and do nothing in the offseason,” Christian said. “He wants to go and compete.

He wants to go after something else.”

Ross, who qualified for the state meet in the 4x800 relay last year, always played three sports growing up. First, it was soccer, basketball and baseball.

Then, football, baseball and basketball.

Jacobs’ Ross keeps busy schedule

H. Rick Bamman – hbamman@shawmedia.com

Jacobs’ Kyle Ross works around DeKalb’s Joey Sauser in the fourth quarter of the Class 4A South Elgin Regional final March 4. Jacobs won in overtime, 54-48. Ross is a three-sport athlete, competing in basketball, cross country and track and field.

Now, he found his niche with track, cross country and basketball.

Managing that busy schedule can be demanding, especially in the summer.

During the two-week period when basketball and running camp overlapped, Ross got to school at 7:30 a.m. and ran an average of 9 miles a day, followed immediately by basketball practice.

“When I get home from basketball, it’s shower and take a nap, because I’m just toast,” Ross said. “You rest, hang

out with some friends that night and then wake up and do it all over again.”

Ross’ brother, Ryan, has been one of the biggest motivators for him. Ryan also was a three-sport athlete and a two-time state qualifier in track. He introduced Kyle to running and set the bar for academics.

“I always want to beat my brother,” Ross said. “He’s been the first to do everything, and he’s been successful. My job was to beat him.

“He got a 32 on his ACT. When I went to the class to study for it, I wanted to get a 33. That was the goal. His GPA was high 3s, I think. So my goal is 4.0.

Just having those goals on the top of your mind every day really helps with motivation.”

Ross achieved that 33 on the ACT (another rare accomplishment) and will study industrial engineering at Purdue.

It will be the first time in his life Ross won’t be tied to a team sport.

WADA to probe claims of doping by Russians

By EDDIE PELLS

The Associated Press MONTREAL – The World-Anti Doping Agency is expanding its investigation into doping inside the Russian sports system after a whistleblower alleged four of the country’s gold medalists from the Sochi Olympics were on steroids.

WADA announced the long-calledfor expansion of the probe Tuesday, two days after Vitaly Stepanov told CBS’ “60 Minutes” that he had conversations with the former director of the Moscow anti-doping lab, who told him there was a “Sochi List” that included four champions from the 2014 Games.

“The claims made in the program offer real cause for concern, as they contain new allegations regarding attempts to subvert the anti-doping process at the Sochi Games,” WADA president Craig Reedie said.

Stepanov said the former lab director, Grigory Rodchenkov, told him that agents from Russia’s Federal Security

Service (FSB) acted as doping control officers during the Olympics, which severely compromised the lab’s integrity.

Natalya Zhelanova, the anti-doping adviser to Russia’s sports minister, said the ministry would cooperate with any WADA investigation.

“Of course we’re disturbed by Stepanov’s statements, but he has no connection to anti-doping activity,” she told the R-Sport Agency. “I want to state that no one has heard this from Rodchenkov.”

After Stepanov and his wife, 800-meter runner Yulia, first revealed details of widespread cheating inside the Russian track program, WADA appointed an independent commission, headed by its former president, Dick Pound, to look into the corruption.

Among Pound’s conclusions was that it was hard to imagine track and field was the only corrupted sport in Russia. But the WADA mandate didn’t extend beyond track, and a bevy of athletes and anti-doping leaders pushed for WADA to look into other sports.

Inside Softball ATHLETE OF THE WEEK ALEX JOHNSON Prairie Ridge, sr., C Johnson had a monster week for the Wolves, who outscored their opponents, 505, in Fox Valley Conference Fox Division victories over Woodstock, Woodstock North, Hampshire and Grayslake North.

The senior catcher hit a grand slam against Woodstock, followed by back-toback, two-homer games against Woodstock North and Hampshire – going a combined 6 for 8 with five homers and 18 RBIs. Johnson hit two homers in the first inning against Woodstock North, including a grand slam and a three-run shot. Against Hampshire, she hit a pair of three-run homers.

Johnson entered the week with no home runs and four RBIs. She now has five homers and 22 RBIs. Prairie Ridge coach Mike Buck said Johnson had an ankle injury at the beginning of the season, but she appears well over it now. She has since moved up to third in the batting order.

NORTHWEST HERALD POWER RANKINGS (Records through Monday) 1. Huntley (17-5): The Red Raiders knocked off Dundee-Crown and McHenry to move to 6-0 in the FVC Valley. Huntley has won 13

Proud Sponsor of Athlete of the Week of 14 and is in the driver’s seat for a division title. The next FVC Valley win for the Raiders clinches at least a share of the division.

2. Prairie Ridge (19-3): The Wolves picked up four more FVC Fox wins, improving to 9-0 in conference with three games to go. They haven’t lost a division game the past two seasons, going 21-0.

3. Marengo (22-5): The Indians won their own tournament Saturday, defeating Bartlett, Conant and Batavia (all Class 4A teams) without committing an error. They are 11-0 in the Big Northern Conference East Division with three conference games left: at Genoa-Kingston, Harvard, at Richmond-Burton.

4. McHenry (17-7): The Warriors’ loss to Huntley makes an FVC Valley title unlikely for the two-time defending champs. McHenry remains one of the area’s most dangerous teams with seniors Alex Martens (.662 batting average, seven homers, 14 doubles, 36 RBIs) and Amanda Manssen (area-best 42 RBIs) batting third and fourth.

5. Jacobs (8-9): A surprise addition to the

power rankings, the Golden Eagles jump into the top five after FVC Valley wins against Crystal Lake South, Cary-Grove and DundeeCrown. Jacobs didn’t play its first game of the year until April 11, but the Eagles are one of three teams in their division with a winning record at 5-3 (tied for second with McHenry).

“Hitting is contagious, I don’t know how to explain it,” Buck said. “I wish I knew.”

NOTEWORTHY Going, going, gone: Prairie Ridge’s Johnson went beast mode last week with five home runs, but she’s not the only one who has found her power stroke for the surging Wolves.

“She just had an insane week,” Buck said of Johnson. “We have some very good hitters, they are in a groove now. It’s just one of those things ... one girl hits a home run, and the next girl wants to do it.”

On Monday, Emmie Farnam, Kylie Leverenz and Maggie Schremp (all freshmen) hit home runs in a win over Grayslake North. Like Johnson, Farnam didn’t have a homer until last week. Then she hit four in three games.

Leverenz, meanwhile, has three home runs ... all coming in the past three games.

Prairie Ridge had a four-homer inning against Woodstock North, and then did it again the next game against Hampshire – getting back-to-back-to-back home runs against the Whip-Purs.

In all, the Wolves have smacked 15 homers in their past four games. They had 16 home

THIS WEEK’S TOP GAMES Crystal Lake Central at Prairie Ridge 4:30 p.m. Thursday The homer-happy Wolves haven’t dropped an FVC Fox game the past two seasons and are looking to clinch their second straight division title.

Durand at Alden-Hebron 4:30 p.m. Friday The Giants lost a heartbreaker to Durand, 2-1, in a regional final last season. A-H (19-4) is a No. 2 seed and opens the postseason Tuesday in a Class 1A Westminster Christian Regional semifinal against seventh-seeded Westminster Christian.

NBA MOST VALUABLE PLAYER

Curry repeats in historic way

Warriors guard unanimous pick

By JANIE McCAULEY The Associated Press

OAKLAND, Calif. – From the jaw-dropping half-court heaves that somehow sink through the net to the dazzling drives and zippy passes from every which way, Stephen Curry’s desire to keep getting better while always trying to entertain at every stop has the Golden State superstar being mentioned right along with the best ever, Michael Jordan and Magic Johnson.

And he just turned 28. There might still be so much more for the 6-foot-3, baby-faced point guard whose ability to make it on the big NBA stage was initially questioned by some.

On Tuesday, Curry accomplished something those former greats never did: He became the first unanimous NBA MVP, earning the award for the second straight season after leading the defending champion Warriors to a record-setting season.

“I never really set out to change the game. I never thought that would happen in my career,” Curry said. “What I wanted to do was just be myself. ... I know it inspires a lot of the next generation, a lot of people who love the game of basketball to value the skill of it, value

the fact that you can work every single day to get better. You’ve got to be able to put the time and the work. That’s how I got here, that’s how I continue to get better every single day.”

Curry is the 11th player in league history to be voted MVP in consecutive seasons and the first guard since Steve Nash in 2004-05 and 2005-06. Curry received 1,310 points from the 130 media voters from the U.S. and Canada.

“I couldn’t imagine anybody not voting him first, and yet there always seems to be somebody who has to stand out,” NBA Coach of the Year Steve Kerr said.

Curry was followed in the vote by Kawhi Leonard of San Antonio, LeBron James of Cleveland and Oklahoma City teammates Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant. Curry’s teammate Draymond Green was seventh.

Nash, Golden State’s player development consultant, was on hand to congratulate Curry.

“It’s been weird, I haven’t had to say a word to him. It’s been the easiest job,” Nash said.

Curry is the first two-time MVP in franchise history, and Wilt Chamberlain (1959-60) is the only other Warriors winner.

Penguins beat Capitals in OT, win series in 6 games

By WILL GRAVES

The Associated Press PITTSBURGH – Nick Bonino put a rebound past Braden Holtby 6:32 into overtime to give the Pittsburgh Penguins a 4-3 win over the Washington Capitals on Tuesday night to wrap up the hotly contested Eastern Conference semifinal in six games.

The Capitals rallied from a threegoal deficit over the final 22 minutes of regulation, but Bonino’s second goal of the playoffs sent the Penguins to the Eastern Conference final against Tampa Bay. Holtby made the initial stop on Carl Hagelin, but Bonino, camped right outside the crease, tapped in the winner.

Washington forward Jay Beagle made a remarkable save from his belly in front of the net on Patric Hornqvist early in overtime but there was

no stopping Bonino’s tap-in.

Phil Kessel scored twice for Pittsburgh, and Hagelin added a goal for Pittsburgh.

Rookie Matt Murray made 36 saves as the Penguins continued their playoff mastery over the Capitals.

T.J. Oshie, Justin Williams and John Carlson scored during Washington’s comeback, but it wasn’t enough.

Nine times the longtime rivals have met in the playoffs. Eight times the post-series handshake line has ended with Pittsburgh celebrating while Washington trudges toward the offseason.

The Presidents’ Trophy winners avoided elimination with a solid 3-1 win in Game 5, but the Penguins – who squandered 3-1 series leads in the 2011 and 2014 playoffs – preached patience and pointed to their remarkable resiliency under Mike Sullivan, who took over in mid-December.

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry celebrates Monday after making a basket against the Trail Blazers in Portland, Ore. Curry was named the NBA’s Most Valuable Player for the second consecutive year, the first such winner by unanimous vote.

SAN ANTONIO – Russell Westbrook had 35 points, 11 rebounds and nine assists, and the Oklahoma City Thunder rallied in the fourth quarter to beat the San Antonio Spurs, 95-91, Tuesday night and take a 3-2 lead in the Western Conference semifinals.

Kevin Durant added 23 points as the Thunder won for the second time in San Antonio in the series. Oklahoma City can close out the series Thursday in Game 6 at home.

Westbrook sealed the victory with a three-point play with 6.3 seconds remaining, scoring after the Spurs weren’t able to foul him intentionally and he drove for a layup while being fouled.

Kawhi Leonard finished with 26 points for San Antonio, which lost at home once in the regular season and has dropped two straight there now.

The Thunder took a 92-90 lead with 54 seconds remaining on a pair of free throws by Durant after Spurs guard Danny Green fell into his legs when

he appeared to be tripped by Steven Adams on an attempted screen.

Tony Parker missed the second of two free throws to make it to 92-91.

Parker also missed a 12-foot jumper.

Westbrook settled in after an erratic first half in which he committed six of the Thunder’s 13 first-half turnovers. He only had two turnovers after halftime.

Westbrook was 12 for 27 from the field in scoring a personal series high.

Besides scoring at least 28 points for the fourth time in the series, the electrifying point guard had four offensive rebounds and two steals in 39 minutes.

The aggressive defense that brought Oklahoma City back into the series after an embarrassing Game 1 loss continued Tuesday night. The Thunder bodied the Spurs on the wings and then collapsed fully when San Antonio attempted to attack the lane.

Green added 20 points, going 6 for 9 shooting on 3-pointers. LaMarcus Aldridge also had 20 points but shot only 6 for 21.

Penn St. should own its role in Sandusky scandal W

hen the Jerry Sandusky child rape scandal was first exposed, it seemed wise to resist the idea the place had something to do with it. It seemed important to ask whether what happened at Penn State could have happened anywhere, to anyone, given that child predators are so adept at winning trust.

But now it seems maybe the place was important, because some people up there in that spooky little town still don’t get it. They still think Joe Paterno is the real victim, and the real perpetrator is Joe Paterno not Sandusky, but the messengers who report his crimes.

You want to know how a serial predator can rape boys in the school showers for 40 years without being caught? It helps when campus leaders habitually deny, duck, parse and distract, because they are so determined to look away from the crime and to protect their bubble of self-regard. Penn State President Eric Barron is just the latest blame-shifter with a blind spot, one who lacks basic command of vocabulary along with a sense of outrage. Evidence that school officials, including Paterno, may have been more culpable in the Sandusky scandal than previously thought is “incredulous,” Barron pronounced in a statement. Furthermore, he is appalled at the “rumor, innuendo and rush to judgment.”

But Barron conveniently diverts attention from a salient fact: Indications Paterno and others may have known more than they admitted comes not from “rumor and innuendo,” but from a judge’s ruling against the school for “enabling” Sandusky. That ruling deserves close examination.

Penn State has sued its insurer over who should pay $92.8 million in settlements to 32 of Sandusky’s child rape victims. One issue in the case is whether Penn State had “notice” there might be liability problem and notified its insurer in a timely manner. A partial summary judgment decision came down from Judge Gary Glazer late last week, and it is simply devastating to the school, both financially and morally.

Most interesting about Glazer’s written decision is the first sentence, one that should strike dread in the hearts of Penn State’s trustees. “This case arises out of a series of heinous crimes perpetrated against a multitude of children over a 40-year period.”

Forty years. The reason Glazer chose that broad window is because he led off his entire ruling with an allegation that in 1976 a child told Paterno

You should make a slow walk to judgment based on documentary evidence, sworn statements under oath and judges’ rulings.

You’re also perfectly free to make what you will of the fact Penn State has reached settlements with 32 victims spanning fully four decades, while apparently rejecting some claims.

A settlement is not an admission of guilt. A settlement can be read in a variety of ways. It might represent recognition of a responsibility to a victim, or it might simply represent reluctance to engage in a long, expensive defense.

It might be cheaper to pay to make it go away.

But one victim attorney, Marci Hamilton, believes Penn State is simply unwilling to go through aggressive discovery. Given Glazer’s ruling on notice, “I now look at their quick settlements as evidence that they believed they could keep a lid on the worst of their knowledge,” Hamilton said via email.

OLYMPIC GOLF

Finchem says he’s not too concerned

By DOUG FERGUSON The Associated Press

Adam Scott hits from a bunker on the 15th hole during the second round of the Wells Fargo Championship on Friday at Quail Hollow in Charlotte, N.C. Scott has said he will not represent Australia in the Olympics.

“If you look at the broader things that the IOC looks at from a sport ... the reason they like golf is it’s growing around the globe, it’s bringing young people to the game,” Finchem said Tuesday. “It’s

He also said the Zika virus might have played a role, and some players haven’t made the Olympics a priority yet.

“The easy thing to do would be to say, ‘Well, let’s just pass this year. We’ll go to Tokyo.’ So I think it’s some combination of things, really,” Finchem said. “I don’t want to paint the players as making these decisions based on any one thing.

I think they’re being legitimate when they have said what they have said. But I do think we have had a combination of things that have created some issues this year.

“But we seem to be doing OK, and I think we’re going to have a superb Olympics once we get down there.”

LPGA Tour commissioner Mike Whan, also on the IGF board, said the women have embraced a return to the Olympics. He said five or six players have asked him about the Zika virus, although none has said she is not planning to play because of it.

“I don’t know any player who’s even said, ‘I’m on the fence,’ ” Whan said. “I’ve got plenty of players at the age where this could be concerning, but I haven’t heard any player say they’re interested in stepping out.”

PGA TOUR: THE PLAYERS CHAMPIONSHIP

Day says 3-wood can be ‘uncomfortable’ for him

By DOUG FERGUSON The Associated Press

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. – Jason Day, the PGA champion and No. 1 player in the world, revealed one weak area of his game.

His 3-wood can make him nervous.

“Everyone has an uncomfortable club in their bag. We just don’t talk about it,” Day said Tuesday. “I’m OK with talking about it.”

The subject arose when Day spoke about his struggles at The Players Championship, where he has missed the cut three times in five starts and has only one top 10.

The Stadium Course at the TPC Sawgrass historically does not favor any particular game. Day is a power player, and the driver is not an issue.

“But there’s a few 3-woods out there for me that I have to hit, and if there’s one club in the bag that’s uncomfortable for me at times, it’s the 3-woods,” he said. “That’s why I might be hitting a few more 2-irons off the tee this week,

just to try and get it in play.”

The problem is Day says he tends to overdo it when trying to hit a draw, and it’s been that way since he was a kid.

“Driver has always been fine, and the rest of the clubs have been fine,” Day said. “It’s just for some reason, the 3-wood. ... That’s just one of those clubs.”

Don’t get the idea the Australian is incapable with a 3-wood. When it’s on, it goes a long way, and he has used it effectively at times in winning five tournaments last year and back-to-back tournaments in March that put him back to No. 1 in the world.

He feels more prepared for The Players than he has in previous years. And even if he has to go with the 2-iron, it’s not as if Day is giving up much distance to the field. Even so, he says it’s a 30-yard difference in clubs.

“I usually carry my 2-iron about 250 yards off the tee and then it runs another ... whatever it does on the fairway,” he said. “The 3-wood goes about 285 yards off the tee. So there’s a big difference in gap.”

• Wednesday, May 11, 2016

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. – PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem doesn’t believe five players skipping the Olympics will hurt golf’s chances for staying on the program beyond 2020.

Golf returns to the Olympics this year in Rio for the first time since 1904.

Although it is set for 2020 in Tokyo, the International Olympic Committee will vote in 2017 whether the sport stays on the program beyond that.

Adam Scott and Marc Leishman of Australia, Charl Schwartzel and Louis Oosthuizen of South Africa and Vijay Singh of Fiji have said they will not compete, mostly citing a busy summer schedule of major events. Leishman was concerned about the Zika virus because his wife, who almost died last year from toxic shock syndrome, has a susceptible immune system.

one of the few sports that’s actively very popular on every continent – just to different levels, but reasonably popular on every continent. So it’s truly a global sport, and it’s a sport that works quite well with sponsorship, and they’re in that business.

“I don’t think any of those variables are going to change after this year,” he said. “I think we’ll be in good shape.”

Finchem said it would have helped golf’s chances had the IOC voted for this year’s games to be held in Chicago instead of Brazil because “Rio is not a golf country.” Without a suitable golf course in Brazil, architect Gil Hanse designed one for the Olympics that was behind schedule because of legal fights over property ownership and environmental concerns.

Finchem, who is on the International Golf Federation board, said the tour has talked to all five players who have opted not to play and said it was a combination of issues, starting with a tight golf season. To clear room for the Olympics, the PGA Championship has moved to the end of July, meaning two majors will be held in the month before the men’s competition starts in Rio.

8 WHITE SOX

Ventura has been steadying force Rangers rally late to stun Sox

By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN

dvanschouwen@suntimes.com

ARLINGTON, Texas – Everything has come together for the White Sox in this remarkable, unforeseen 23-11 start.

Outstanding starting pitching and an equally strong bullpen, backed by defense that improved from bottom-feeder status last season to one of the best this year. And and timely hitting to boot. That will get you into first place every time.

Overseeing the whole package, as pieced together by general manager Rick Hahn with several key offseason acquisitions, is the same manager who guided the Sox through three consecutive losing seasons.

Only this year, Robin Ventura had to navigate his clubhouse through an unexpected stormy week during spring training when Adam LaRoche famously retired, causing his team to threaten the boycott of a spring game because of it. Ventura had a potentially explosive situation on his hands.

As steady as they come, Ventura was just the right type of personality to take his team through it.

“These players know Robin has their backs,” Hahn said Tuesday before the Sox entered their scheduled game against the Texas Rangers at Globe Life Park owning the best record in the American League. “There is no doubt in my mind about that. And they

ARLINGTON, Texas – Ryan Rua hit a threerun homer to cap a seven-run rally in the eighth inning, and the Texas Rangers beat the White Sox, 13-11, Tuesday night.

The Sox led, 11-6, before Elvis Andrus led off the bottom of the eighth with a single.

Pinch-hitter Mitch Moreland singled home a run, Adrian Beltre drove in another with a sacrifice fly, and Ian Desmond hit a two-run triple before Rua’s homer against Matt Albers (1-1).

Winning pitcher Alex Claudio (1-0) went a career-high 41/3 innings. Shawn Tolleson pitched a perfect ninth for his 11th save in 13 opportunities.

Rua had his second homer, two singles and AP photo four RBIs. Desmond and Bryan Holaday each The Rangers’ Ryan Rua celebrates his homered and drove in three runs. three-run home run as he rounds first – The Associated Press behind the White Sox’s Jose Abreu in the eighth inning Tuesday in Arlington, Texas. fight for him. And they want to win for him, as much as they want to win for the guy next to them and the guys on the coaching staff. It’s a very tight, cohesive unit and Robin at the top of it deserves a world of credit.”

It became clear where Ventura, who is in the final year of his contract, stood with his players when Chris Sale, as big a team leader as there is in the Sox’s clubhouse – and their longest tenured one – lashed out at vice president Ken

Williams for momentarily taking the Sox’s “steam engine” off the rails, as he put it, in March when LaRoche was asked to leave his son at home.

It was a situation that has worked out well in the end for the Sox. At the time, it was a potentially volatile one that settled down within days, thanks in large part to Ventura’s calm, steady hand.

“That’s always been one of his strengths,” Hahn said. “He’s the same

WHITE SOX NOTES

Gonzalez secures more time in starting rotation

By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN

dvanschouwen@suntimes.com

ARLINGTON, Texas – Right-hander Miguel Gonzalez earned more than just another start after pitching 5 innings of one-run ball Monday against the Rangers.

In addition to getting the assignment to close the White Sox’s six-game road trip Sunday against the Yankees, Gonzalez “will probably get another few turns after that,” general manager Rick Hahn said Tuesday.

Gonzalez, whom the Sox signed to a minor-league deal after the Orioles released him during spring training, has bounced from Triple-A Charlotte to the Sox for a spot start April 25 against the Blue Jays, then back to Charlotte before returning to the Sox on Monday. For now, the No. 5 starter’s job appears to

be his to lose.

“He earned it,” manager Robin Ventura said.

“Bringing him back against another difficult offensive team in their home park, he showed himself well both times,” Hahn said. “He’s earned the right to get a little bit of stability, a little bit of repetition in that spot.”

Gonzalez’s velocity, which sagged late last season and during spring training, was up around 92 or 93 mph against the Rangers.

“My velo is back; I’m excited” Gonzalez said. “I’m happy I’m with the White Sox, and I’m excited about the season and how we’re playing. Let’s keep this going.”

A first for Melky: When outfielder Melky Cabrera was ejected Monday by plate umpire Laz Diaz, it marked the first time he had been thrown out of a

game in his career at any level, he said.

Cabrera wasn’t animated at all before Diaz gave him the heave-ho.

“Two pitches that were called strikes were balls,” Cabrera said. “I just told him, ‘Hey, those pitches were balls.’ He responded to me, and I said, ‘You are a bad umpire. Those pitches were balls.’

And then he [tossed] me.”

Rangers manager Jeff Banister was ejected later in the game for a similar beef.

Frazier adjusts: Third baseman Todd Frazier played down the switch from the National League to the American League after he was traded to the Sox, but he admitted there is an adjustment period when it comes to facing different pitchers.

“You try and see video; there’s not much more you can do,” he said. “It’s been a little bit difficult understanding

what they’re trying to throw to you.

You haven’t seen them, so they have the advantage. But I have the advantage, too, with three strikes. You have to keep battling.”

Frazier doesn’t spend a ton of time breaking down his swing. He’s more about balance and letting his hands do the work.

“The things I work on are mainly with my hands and getting a good base,” he said.

After driving in six runs with four hits – including a grand slam and a solo homer – Monday, Frazier drove in his 28th run on a first-inning groundout and his 29th and 30th on a two-run single in the third Tuesday.

Late bloomers: Through Monday, the Sox had scored 66 of their 139 runs (47.5 percent) in the seventh inning or later, the highest percentage in AL.

CUBS NOTES

Despite record, Epstein sees ‘vulnerabilities’

By GORDON WITTENMYER

gwittenmyer@suz 8ntimes.com CHICAGO – The Cubs have reached such lofty heights so quickly this season that the guys in the front office have started referring to the Cubs as being “in a tree.”

“We’re going to stay up there as long as we can,” team president Theo Epstein said, “but we’re going to get down at some point.”

After all, nobody can play .800 baseball for six months, right? Doesn’t happen. Never has.

But exactly who is going to knock these guys out of their tree at this point is anybody’s guess – especially after their eighth consecutive victory Tuesday night pushed their record to 19 games over .500 and their lead in the National League Central to 8½ games over the second-place Pirates.

The 8-7 victory over the San Diego Padres was propelled by Jon Lester’s six strong-enough innings and a fourrun third highlighted by Kris Bryant’s two-run double.

But for all the major-league-leading pitching and major-league-leading scoring by a group of Cubs gaining increased national attention by the series, Ep- Theo Epstein stein is keenly aware of the challenge of staying focused – as he tries to keep his feet on the ground from that perch in the tree.

“We’re thrilled with the start that we’ve gotten off to, but we’re not blinded by it,” he said. “We know we’re in a stretch right now where winning seems far easier than it actually is, and we know there’s going to be a stretch

– probably a long stretch – this year where winning even one game seems virtually impossible. That’s just the nature of baseball.”

Epstein’s front office remains on the lookout for roster help even as the Cubs continue the hottest start in the majors since the Detroit’s 1984 champs.

“We still have vulnerabilities,” he said. “We still have areas we need to get better. We still have challenges and more adversity to come. And we almost look forward to it, because that’s when you find out what you’re made of more so than during the good stretches like the one we’re in right now.”

Montero update: Catcher Miguel Montero (back) started a minor-league rehab assignment with Triple-A Iowa on Tuesday, going 0 for 3 with a strikeout and catching six innings.

“He hasn’t been too far removed

that he should be far off,” said Maddon, who didn’t have a projected timeline for Montero’s return from the disabled list. “Could be relatively quick. Could take a little more time. It’s just how his back feels, and he needs to play to find that out.”

Montero hasn’t played since April 24 in Cincinnati.

Bits: The Cubs and Padres are each allowed to add a 26th man to the roster for Wednesday’s doubleheader. The Cubs plan to add a reliever from Iowa.

• Anthony Rizzo’s batting average jumped nine points to .279 before he ever saw a pitch Tuesday, after major league baseball overturned a scoring decision from last week in Pittsburgh.

Rizzo’s line drive off a sliding Andrew McCutchen’s glove in Wednesday’s game was originally ruled an error.

The scoring change gave him four hits for that game.

• Wednesday, May 11, 2016

CHICAGO – Looking quite comfortable in the middle of the order, Ben Zobrist is benefiting from the relentless approach by the Cubs’ dangerous lineup.

Zobrist went 4 for 4, Addison Russell had three RBIs and the Cubs beat the San Diego Padres, 8-7, Tuesday night for their eighth straight win.

“You pass the baton,” Zobrist said.

“That’s what we try to do in the lineup, and guys have been doing a good job of that.”

Jon Lester (4-1) pitched six innings of three-run ball as the Cubs improved to 25-6 for the best start by a major league team since the 1984 Detroit Tigers won 26 of their first 31 games.

Kris Bryant drove in two runs and Jason Heyward scored twice, helping the Cubs open an 81/2-game lead over second-place Pittsburgh in the NL Central.

Zobrist had run-scoring singles in the third and fourth against rookie Cesar Vargas (0-2). Zobrist also singled in the second and seventh, and scored in each inning on a hit by Russell.

“I feel like it’s a cumulative effect for the whole team,” Zobrist said.

“Obviously, they’re not getting breaks in our lineup and that’s what makes it so difficult for them to stay

player in Padres history with a pinchhit grand slam for his first career homer, according to STATS, but San Diego lost its third consecutive game.

Melvin Upton Jr. also went deep for the Padres, and Jose Pirela had two hits and scored two runs.

“A special moment for me and all the work I’ve put in to this point,” Dickerson said.

San Diego lost another infielder when shortstop Alexei Ramirez left in the fifth inning because of cramping in his left hamstring. After hustling into second with a run-scoring double, Ramirez was hunched over behind the bag when a trainer came out to check on him.

Ramirez motioned to his hamstring and walked off the field under his own power after a short discussion. The Padres had nine players on the disabled list coming into the day, including four infielders.

“He tells me right now he’s feeling fine,” manager Andy Green said.

“You can imagine with the rash of hamstring injuries and quad injuries we’ve had, if somebody says, ‘My hamstring hurts,’ we’re going to be very cautious. He was upset that we took him out and thought he was fine to play through it.”

Dickerson’s drive on an 0-2 pitch from Adam Warren trimmed the Cubs’ lead to 8-7 with two outs in the

Strasburg’s 2012 shutdown helped lead to $175M, 7-year deal

WASHINGTON – So all these years later, it sure sounds as if Stephen Strasburg signed a $175 million, seven-year contract with the Washington Nationals precisely because of their decision to end his 2012 season before the playoffs – not despite it.

“As a competitor, it was a very tough pill to swallow,” Strasburg said Tuesday about the much-debated shutdown to protect his surgically repaired right elbow.

“But I think, at the end of the day, you have to look at what their intentions are.

And I think their intentions are that it’s an investment, and they want me to be here pitching at a high level for a long time.

Hopefully with this group of guys, we can have more opportunities to be in that spot again.”

Flanked by agent Scott Boras and NaCFL’s Calgary picks NIU’s Brescacin tionals general manager Mike Rizzo at a news conference, Strasburg smiled often.

The Kansas City Chiefs waived two players with McHenry County ties this week in Woodstock graduate Mike Liedtke and Crystal Lake South grad Jake Bernstein.

Liedtke, an offensive lineman from Illinois State, was waived late Monday to make room for Memphis offensive guard Jordan Devey, the team announced. An All-Missouri Valley Football Conference honorable mention in his senior year at ISU, Liedtke signed with the Miami Dolphins after the draft last season and then found a home with the Chiefs on the practice squad.

Bernstein, an offensive lineman from Vanderbilt, was waived Tuesday. The 6-foot-4, 310-pounder played almost every meaningful snap at Vanderbilt over the past 31/2 seasons and finished his career with 26 consecutive starts.

Members of the Rio Olympics food and beverage service test the Olympic menu Friday in Rio de Janeiro.

Diners will choose from five buffets – Brazilian, Asian, International, Pasta and Pizza, Halal and Kosher.

Food for Muslim and Jewish athletes will adhere to their specific religious dietary laws. Koreans will even get spicy kimchee – the

To prepare the final menus, Cordeiro and colleagues are holding about 20 food testings before the Olympics open Aug. 5.

They’ve been through seven or eight already, including one a few days ago.

“Imagine you start eating at 10 a.m. and you finish 8 p.m.,” Cordeiro said. “Everyone thinks that food-tasting is super-duper, but this is how you eat.”

He demonstrated, lifting a tiny sandwich slice up to his nose, one made of ham, mozzarella, cream cheese and lettuce. He checked for texture and presentation, and finally took a small bite. Next he graded the offering on a checklist.

“I’ll tell you the truth, I can’t stand the testing,” he said. “This means eating the whole day. Actually, not eating. Tasting. You bite and you leave it.”

RIO DE JANEIRO – The dining room for the athletes village at the Rio de Janeiro Olympics will be bigger than two football fields, and the kitchen being built in the same massive tent will be as large as one.

The setting hints at quite a spread when the games open in just under three months.

“We want to make sure when there is a medal or a record, part of that record also goes to our food team,” Marcello Cordeiro, Rio’s director of food and beverages, said in an interview with The Associated Press.

At its peak, the athletes village kitchen will prepare 60,000 meals daily, produced from daily shipments of 460,000 pounds of raw ingredients – all served on 4 million biodegradable plates for 18,000 athletes, coaches and staff.

into Brazil’s famously delicious juices (sucos in Portuguese).

The subsequent Paralympics will offer the same variety, although the numbers will be smaller.

“We are confident our Brazilian food is going to be a success, we’ll make a bit more to be safe,” Cordeiro said. “We are doing our best to bring the world to Brazil.”

He listed key ingredients of the basic Brazilian diet: rice, black beans, farofa (flour from toasted cassava often sprinkled on top of food) and meat. But the regional specialties are as large as the continent-size country itself.

Buffet-style eateries are popular in Brazil, where they charge by the weight – socalled “Kilo Restaurants.”

There will be no charge for the athletes.

“They can eat all they want,” Cordeiro said. “No scales. We know athletes

ON THE COVER

Butter-Browned Bourbon-Basted Pound Cake Recipe on page 3

Todd English has a new – and unlikely – love: the air fryer.

“I was amazed at the quality of the way things came out,” English, a prolific and award-winning restaurateur and television chef, said in a recent interview. “And the versatility of it was something I also loved.”

Air fryers aren’t new, but the high-profile attention they have been getting is. Which is all a bit surprising, given their as-seen-onTV appeal. Unlike classic deep-fry devices, air fryers don’t use kettles of oil to cook. Instead, they essentially are small, countertop versions of a convection oven. They use a fan that constantly pushes super hot air around the food. This means they cook faster, deeper and – with almost no oil – crunchier than traditional appliances.

English has become so smitten with air fryers, he’s just released a cookbook dedicated to them, “The Air Fryer Cookbook.” The book features recipes for everything from stuffed portobello mushroom and spinach pizzas to sesame-gin-

ger fried pork, as well as the more classic (and expected) French fries and chips.

He argues air fryers are a natural for home cooks, who generally love fried food but don’t know how to properly cook it using traditional oil methods. “Most people don’t know when to change the oil on a tabletop” deep fryer, nor do they know how to properly manage the temperature, he said.

Air fryers, English explains, correct for all of that. Many of his recipes use only cooking spray or breadcrumbs, while others typically call for just a tablespoon of oil. He said an air fryer can cook a dish in about 10 to 15 minutes, compared with 25 to 30 minutes in a regular oven.

“Simple, and the results are very close, if not an exact replica of fried food,” English said. But with far less fat.

Guy Crosby, a professor in the department of nutrition at Harvard’s School of Public Health, agreed air fryers can help cut back on the amount of fat used in cooking, but obviously are only as healthy as the foods that go in them.

By ALISON LADMAN The Associated Press

When we first encountered deep-fried, bourbon-soaked Twinkies, we were a little smitten. Until, that is, we realized we could do so much better.

Better as in ditching the highly processed snack cakes and substituting a truly amazing slab of homemade pound cake, all rich and dense and ready to sponge up some booze. Which is what we did next; we drizzled each slice with a generous glug of bourbon. And no need to use the good stuff here. Anything you’d consider using as a mixer will be fine.

An ample dose of butter to pan-fry our slices until nicely crisped and warmed doesn’t hurt their flavor, either.

Now all you have to do is serve – warm, please! – with fresh berries and whipped cream or ice cream. Take that, Twinkies.

Butter-Browned Bourbon-Basted Pound Cake Start to finish: 2 hours (30 minutes active) Servings: 12

4 whole eggs, room temperature

Butter-Browned Bourbon-Basted Pound Cake AP photo

2 egg yolks, room temperature 1 tablespoon water 1 cup sugar 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature, plus more for pan frying 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/2 teaspoon almond extract 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt 1¾ cup plus 2 tablespoons (8 ounces) all-purpose flour, sifted

3/4 cup bourbon Berries, to serve Whipped cream, to serve Heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Mist an 8-inch loaf pan with cooking spray, then line the bottom and up the 2 long sides with kitchen parchment.

In a small bowl, whisk together the whole eggs, egg yolks and water.

In a large bowl, use an electric mixer on medium-high to beat together the sugar, butter, vanilla and almond extracts, and the salt until very light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. While mixing, add the egg mixture, a couple tablespoons at a time, until well emulsified after each addition. The adding of the eggs should take about 5 minutes.

Working in 2 batches, fold in the flour gently but thoroughly until no

trace of the flour remains. Transfer to the prepared pan and spread to smooth the top. Gently tap the pan on the counter to release any air bubbles. Bake on the oven’s center rack for 55 to 65 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted at the center comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then turn out onto a rack to cool for another 20 minutes.

When the cake is mostly cool, slice the ends off, then slice the loaf into 12 generous 1/2-inch-thick slices. Brush both sides of each slice liberally with bourbon.

In a large skillet, melt a bit of butter over medium-high, swirling to thoroughly coat the bottom of the pan. Working in batches, fry the pound cake 3 to 4 slices at a time, for 3 to 4 minutes a side, or until toasty brown, adding additional butter between batches. Carefully transfer the toasted slices to a platter while you fry the remaining slices. Serve warm, with berries and whipped cream, if desired.

Leftovers can be cooled and kept in an airtight container for 3 days, gently rewarming in a skillet.

No need to be shy about reaching for prepared pie crusts

By KATIE WORKMAN

Start to finish: 1½ hours Servings: 8

I am an unabashed fan of refrigerated pie crusts. I am certain the number of pies I would make if I only was allowed to make crust from scratch would be about 15 percent of my current pie output. And I know my friends and family would be very sad should that happen.

The refrigerated stuff is great. It just gets a quick roll on the counter, then with a quick fold-and-transfertechnique, it’s in the pan in a snap.

Couldn’t be easier.

This is the fastest, easiest apple tart I know how to make, but that’s not the impression it will leave on your guests.

For the tart: Butter, for the pan, plus 2 tablespoons chilled and cut into small pieces 1 refrigerated pie crust (1/2 of a 15-ounce package), room temperature 4 large cooking apples, such as McIntosh or Granny Smith, peeled, halved and cored 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice 1/4 cup sugar 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1 teaspoon cornstarch 1/3 cup apricot or peach jam or preserves

The Associated Press

Easy Apple Tart with Cinnamon Creme Fraiche

For the cinnamon creme fraiche: 3/4 cup creme fraiche 3 tablespoons powdered sugar 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Heat the oven to 400 degrees F. Butter a 9-inch tart pan, preferably one with a removable bottom.

Very thinly slice the apple halves. A mandoline is best, but a knife is fine. In a large bowl, toss the apple slices with the lemon juice.

In a small bowl, combine the sugar, cinnamon and cornstarch. Add this mixture to the apples and toss to combine.

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pie crust to a little over 11-inches. Fold it into quarters so it looks like a triangle with a rounded edge. Transfer it into the prepared tart pan, with the point of the triangle in the middle of the pan, then unfold it so the pie crust lines the pan. Gently press the crust into and up the sides of the pan. Arrange the apples as artistically as you like in the tart shell, overlapping them slightly.

Place the jam in a small, microwave-safe bowl and heat in 15-second burst, stirring between, until melted and smooth. Brush the

melted jam over the tops of the apples. Dot the apples evenly with the butter. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the crust is firm and golden brown. Cool in the pan on a wire rack for about 20 minutes, then remove the outer edge of the pan, if possible, and finish cooling on the tart base on the wire rack.

When ready to serve, prepare the cinnamon creme fraiche. In a small bowl, whisk the creme fraiche with the powdered sugar and cinnamon until well blended and smooth.

Serve the tart slightly warm or at room temperature with a generous dollop of the cinnamon creme fraiche.

India’s kadhi a comforting chicken dish

By MEERA SODHA

The Associated Press

Type “chicken recipe” into Google and watch as millions of suggestions line up, page after page, at your beck and call. There is no shortage of ways to cook our favorite bird. But often what I really want when I crave chicken is something that will comfort and soothe: a meal that is the equivalent of a good blanket, cup of tea or a bath of the perfect temperature. For me, this buttermilk chicken kadhi is that dish.

Kadhi is one of India’s most popular dishes, the taste of home for so many Indians. At its most basic, it is buttermilk or yoghurt spiced with fenugreek and turmeric, laced with green chilies, garlic and ginger, then bound together with chickpea flour.

The flour thickens the buttermilk, turning it into a silky, deeply savory and addictive sauce.

It is a frugal dish, which is much cherished. And even though it never graced the boilerplate Indian restaurant menus around the world, it is cooked weekly, if not daily, in our homes. Poaching chicken in the kadhi is not traditional (Google searches return nothing) but, since putting the two together, I have never looked back. As far as chicken recipes that hit the spot go, for flavor, speed and ease, this one is hard to beat.

Buttermilk Chicken Kadhi Start to finish: 40 minutes Servings: 6

2 tablespoons canola oil 4 pounds chicken thighs and drumsticks 1 teaspoon black mustard seeds 2 pinches fenugreek seeds

Buttermilk Chicken Kadhi AP photo

1 teaspoon cumin seeds 20 fresh curry leaves 1½-inch chunk fresh ginger, grated 6 cloves garlic, crushed 2 green finger chilies, finely chopped 1½ tablespoons chickpea flour 1/2 teaspoon turmeric 1 teaspoon kosher salt 1 quart buttermilk In a large skillet pan over medium-high, heat the oil. When hot, add the chicken and

brown until evenly golden on all sides, about 10 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.

Spoon off all but 2 tablespoons of the fat in the skillet. Return the skillet to medium heat, then add the mustard, fenugreek, cumin and curry leaves.

Allow to sizzle for 1 minute, then add the ginger, garlic and chilies and cook for a few minutes, or until soft and golden.

Reduce the heat to low and add the chickpea flour, turmeric and salt. Mix and slowly

whisk in the buttermilk. Bring the buttermilk up to a very gentle simmer, then return the chicken to the skillet. Coat with the sauce, then cover and cook for 30 minutes, or until the chicken is soft and cooked through.

Amazing pasta salad will turn ramp haters into lovers

By KATIE WORKMAN The Associated Press

fashion and a member of the onion family in one sentence is just weird. I also think the flavor is fantastic, and I love that you can use the whole thing, stem to stern.

So, I will let the foodies duke it out.

I will just continue to prod my children into the trees and derive a perfect shiver of pleasure from cooking with something we pulled up from the ground and didn’t even plant.

On the surface, ramps are a lovely harbinger of spring, wild leeks that are unable to be cultivated, hence part of their mystique (think truffles).

They also are one of the first vegetables to appear in farmers markets and on chefs’ menus after a winter of tubers and citrus.

They essentially taste like a very garlicky leek or scallion. But the attenPasta Salad With Chicken, Green tion they’ve had has put them firmly Olives and Ramp Vinaigrette on a pedestal, seeming out of reach of Start to finish: 25 minutes mere home cooks.

Servings: 8 At the moment, some people still think it’s cool to worship the mighty 1 pound dried penne ramp, and others pronounce ramps 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon extra-virgin “yesterday.” I think the very idea of

olive oil, divided About 40 ramps, cleaned, roots trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces (including leaves) 3 tablespoons white wine vinegar 1 tablespoon honey 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard 1 teaspoon kosher salt, or more to taste 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper, or more to taste 4 cups cubed cooked chicken 1 cup roughly chopped green olives 1/2 cup packed torn fresh basil Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.

Add the pasta and cook according to package directions. Drain, then rinse under cool water.

Set aside.

Meanwhile, in a medium skillet, heat 1

tablespoon of the oil.

Add the ramps and saute for 10 minutes, or until very tender. Set aside.

Once the ramps are cooked, in a food processor combine a little more than half of the ramps, the remaining 1/2 cup of olive oil, the vinegar, honey, Dijon, salt and pepper. Puree until smooth.

In a large bowl combine the cooked ramps, cooked and cooled pasta, vinaigrette, chicken, olives and basil. Toss well to combine thoroughly.

Crystal Lake Estate Sale 999 Sarasota Lane May 13th & 14th 9-4

Sir Winston Churchill said, “However beautiful the strategy, you should occasionally look at the results.”

That applies to bidding conventions -- and not only the results, but also frequency. This deal features a transfer into a minor over a one-notrump opening. The frequency is not high, but when one does arise, it can result in an accurate auction. How do three no-trump and five clubs by South fare?

North’s two-spade response was a transfer to clubs. His three-spade rebid indicated a singleton (or void) in that suit. (With four spades and long clubs, North would have responded two clubs, Stayman.) South was torn at this point. Perhaps they had nine instant winners for three no-trump, but his single spade stopper was worrying, and his controls (three aces and one king) were great for a high-level club contract if partner had a solid or semisolid suit.

Here, if South had bid three notrump, he would have gone down, assuming West led the spade queen.

When South actually bid four clubs, North settled for game with his minimum.

West led the heart jack. South won with his ace and ran the club nine, losing to East’s jack. Back came a heart to dummy’s queen. Declarer crossed to his hand with a diamond, then led his second trump. When West played low, should South have called for dummy’s eight or king?

The percentage play was the eight. If East had the club queen-jack, he might have won trick two with either honor. But with the ace-jack, he had no choice. Declarer should assume East’s play was forced.
