Good morning, McHenry County ...

Sorry folks, brutal TSA lines ahead While I always loved Chevy Chase’s original “Vacation,” the real appreciation began after I became a dad who dragged his family across the country for forced recreation at least once a year.

As a kid, our family vacations involved being snatched from our beds at some ungodly hour, two days of driving, usually in a station wagon, some exotic fast food stops and a night in between destination at a palatial Ramada, Holiday or Quality Inn. I could only tell by what was stamped into the soap bars.

That was the ’70s and ’80s; this in now. Even though they have iPads and other magical contraptions far superior to our Mad Libs and cheap paperbacks, the long road trip with my own kids is something I’ve avoided with great success.

My inner Clark Griswold manifests with a knack for finding cheap airfare to locales I’d never visit by car unless carried in the back of a hearse. So like many dads, I’m fretting warnings about dreadful TSA lines as we get ready for

ALBANY, N.Y. – New York would be the first state to ban declawing cats under a legislative proposal that has divided veterinarians. Several vets came to the state Capitol on Tuesday to lobby for the ban. They say the declawing procedure, which involves cutting through bone, tendon and nerves to amputate the first segment of a cat’s toes, is unnecessary and cruel. Australia, Britain and other European countries already ban the practice. It’s illegal in Los Angeles and some other California cities.

“It’s a disfiguring, inhumane and misguided procedure,” said Eileen Jefferson, an Ulster County veterinarian who does not perform the procedure. She said about 25 percent of cats will be declawed.

More than 20 percent of unit comes from outside sheriff’s office

By KATIE DAHLSTROM kdahlstrom@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – A group of police officer armed with AR-15 semi-automatic rifles jump out of the back of a towering Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected military vehicle and barrel toward a wounded officer lying in the middle of a gravel path.

Shots ring out, followed by the

sound of shells hitting the ground.

“Let’s move, let’s move, let’s move,” one of the men yells as they rush back to the MRAP with an officer in their arms.

Among the men is Josh Fourdyce, a Woodstock police sergeant who until recently would not have been part of such an operation.

It’s all a drill, one being run by the McHenry County Sheriff’s in-

terdepartmental SWAT team to test members’ capabilities in the field.

A year after the McHenry County Board voted to allow Sheriff Bill Prim to open SWAT membership to other jurisdictions in McHenry County, more than 20 percent of the 24-member team is made up of officers from police departments other than the sheriff’s office.

In time, leaders hope the team

will reach 30 members, with half coming from city departments.

TSA, American Airlines move to cut wait time in security lines

By KATIE DAHLSTROM kdahlstrom@shawmedia.com In the wake of excessive lines at security checkpoints that have caused frustration and missed flights for hundreds of passengers, the Transportation Security Administration, airline and travel officials are making moves to cut down on long lines.

O’Hare International Airport and Midway International Airport authorities Tuesday morning asked travelers to arrive three hours before their flights because of delays at Transportation Security Administration checkpoints.

Hours later, TSA officials announced they would send an additional 58 new security officers and four more bomb-sniffing dog teams to O’Hare to adVoice your dress the long delays.

“We know it is frustrating for our passengers,” Scott said. “They don’t want to come here and stand in line for two hours. It’s equally frustrating for our employees because it’s not within their control.”

In an unprecedented move, American Airlines plans to hire outside vendors to help with nonsecurity functions such as moving bins or telling passengers to remove their shoes in an effort to help TSA agents.

Darrellynn Hanes, the owner of McHenry-based Worldwide Traveler LTD, said lately she’s encouraged fliers to arrive at the airport two hours in advance for domestic flights and three and a half hours in advance for international travel.

That’s between 30 minutes and an hour longer than she would typically suggest.

“We are absolutely advising them to go ahead of time for a longer period,” Hanes said. “They can get a little bit disgruntled.

No one likes those long lines.”

Lines are nowhere near as long at smaller volume airports, such as those in Milwaukee and Rockford, officials there said.

“It typically will take you from 10 to 15 minutes from the time you enter the ter-

A long line of travelers waits for the TSA security checkpoint Monday at O’Hare International Airport in Chicago. Already faced with lines that snake through terminals out to the curb, fliers are bracing for long waits at security in the busy months of July and August. Some major airports are seeing wait times exceeding 90 minutes at peak hours.

soon. Congress earlier this month agreed to shift $34 million in Homeland Security funding in order to pay overtime to existing staff and hire an additional 800 screeners.

That won’t be enough to address the problem, argued the American Federation of Government Employees, which represents TSA employees. The union insists it needs an additional 6,000 full-time screeners to alleviate long airport security lines.

The TSA currently has about 42,000 officers on the job, down from 47,000 in 2013.

At the same time, the volume of passengers has risen 15 percent, from 643 million to 740 million, according to a news release the union.

The TSA reduced staffing levels in hopes 25 million people would sign up for its PreCheck program, an expedited security measure for travelers that costs $85 and lasts for five years.

GOP candidate: Franks’ departure paves way in House for party pickup

By KEVIN P. CRAVER kcraver@shawmedia.com

The decision by state Rep. Jack Franks to run for McHenry County Board chairman rather than re-election to his Illinois House seat makes the seat prime for a GOP pickup, according to the Republican candidate.

Reclaiming the 63rd House District seat that Franks first won in 1998 has been a target for the McHenry County Republican Party since, but no candidates, when they have been fielded, have come close to ousting him since his first re-election campaign in 2000.

But Steven Reick, the GOP nominee taking his second shot at winning the seat, said Franks’ decision changes the game.

“I don’t think there’s any doubt that it makes the race more competitive.

Jack’s been here nine terms, he has a lot of name recognition, and it means we start with a clean slate,” said Reick, a tax attorney now living in Woodstock.

Ending months of speculation, Franks, D-Marengo, announced his run for chairman Sunday morning, just after the Democratic Party of McHenry County slated him to challenge Republican nominee Mike Walkup.

This race is the first ever for the chairmanship, following a 2014 referendum in which voters chose to make the office popularly elected instead of chosen by board members themselves.

Franks chose not to run for a 10th term in Springfield and plans to focus on the chairman’s race instead – state law allows someone to run and hold both seats simultaneously. He intends to fill out the remainder of his House term.

Reick almost chose not to run this year after losing to Franks in 2014. But pledges of financial and staff support from the Illinois House Republican Organization – especially after a GOP candidate that party members suspected was a Democratic ringer entered the primary – prompted Reick to change his

mind.

He handily won the primary, and said he believes that Franks’ departure from the race will translate to more support.

“I would expect so. [The state GOP] stepped up for me during the primary, like they said they were going to,” Reick said. “I can’t imagine at this point them getting me past that milepost and then saying you’re on your own. I think they smell the smell of victory and they’re going to follow through.”

McHenry County ReRep. publican Party ChairJack Franks woman Sandra Salgado echoed Reick’s sentiments. She said the party was confident of winning the seat this time around, even against Franks.

“We’ll have two individuals not running as incumbents. It will be a good race, we’ll get that seat back in Republican hands, and it will stay that way for a very long time,” Salgado said.

The most important unanswered question right now is who the Democratic Party will select to run against Reick in the 63rd District, which covers north-

ern and western McHenry County and includes all or parts of Marengo, Union, Harvard, Hebron, Woodstock, McHenry, Wonder Lake, Ringwood, Richmond and Johnsburg.

One of the reasons Franks has survived and thrived in an otherwise Republican-dominated county is his consistent votes against tax increases and larger government, and votes seen as bucking the will of House Speaker Michael Madigan. Because the Democratic Party has an exact 71-seat House supermajority, Franks has sunk more than one Madigan initiative.

Because the 63rd House District lies entirely in McHenry County, the choice is the county Democratic Party’s to make. Chairman Michael Bissett said he anticipates that the choice will be made in June, after the end-of-May deadline passes for candidates caucused in after the primary, such as Franks, get the signatures needed to get on the Nov. 8 ballot.

“This was a bombshell announcement, and I think everyone is sitting back right now trying to absorb the impact of it,” Reick said. “We’ll be coming forward soon with a plan aimed toward the fall.”

Walkup, a County Board member from Crystal Lake, narrowly defeated incumbent Joe Gottemoller, also of Crystal Lake, in the March 15 primary.

Walkup also is running for his seat representing the board’s District 3, which covers Nunda and parts of McHenry and Algonquin townships.

He wants to hold both offices so he can continue to vote on board issues, because state law forbids a popularly elected chairman in a county the size of McHenry’s from voting on anything.

Five Democratic Party nominees ran to get on the March 15 ballot in all but one of the County Board’s six districts.

Besides Franks, county Democrats have since slated candidates for state’s attorney and recorder, and five more County Board candidates.

Road, said Huntley Fire Protection District Deputy Chief Al Schlick.

When firefighters arrived, Schlick said they found a semitractor without a trailer that was well-involved in flames. The driver was outside and uninjured, Schlick said.

It took firefighters about 10 minutes to extinguish the blaze, but they remained on the scene for just shy of an hour so they

could check the truck.

Schlick said it appeared the fire started in the cab and not in the engine compartment. He said the cause of the fire is unclear. The Illinois State Police and crews from the Illinois Department of Transportation assisted on the scene by closing the two right lines.

“Children should have access to the best pediatric care without having to leave their community,” Michael S. Eesley, chief executive officer of Centegra Health System, said in the release. “Our partnership with Lurie Children’s brings expert care to Cen-

tegra Hospital – Huntley so children and families can get the care they need close to home.”

Shelter expanding service for homeless Old Firehouse center plans more days, upgrades

By HANNAH PROKOP hprokop@shawmedia.com

WOODSTOCK – After being open for 19 days, the Old Firehouse Assistance Center in Woodstock has served more than 120 homeless people, Sue Rose said.

Ten of those people are now in permanent or long-term housing, said Rose, community services director with the McHenry County Housing Authority and co-founder of the center.

With the success of the center, there now are plans to extend the days it’s open and update the building at the corner of West South and South Throop streets that the city has provided free of charge.

The center first opened once a week starting Jan. 20 and uses a new model to serve the homeless in the county that helps service providers who come to the site and homeless people connect, Rose has said.

“It is absolutely magical as an outreach center for people that are homeless,” Rose said, but the site no longer is being considered as a potential yearround fixed site because it wouldn’t be cost-effective.

In May, the center expanded its days, and now is open from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. every Wednesday and Thursday, Rose said. The goal is eventually to open five days a week, once work is done inside the building to create private offices and sleeping areas, she said.

Hans Mach, community development administrator for the McHenry County Department of Planning and Development, and Terry Willcockson, Woodstock grant writer, said the city was awarded a $65,000 grant to pay for

Sue Rose Old Firehouse Assistance Center co-founder the improvements in the building.

The grant comes from the Community Development Block Grant Program from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, Mach said, and while a few more steps need to be taken before getting the money, work could start as early as June.

Part of finalizing the grant depends on having the tenant that is leading the center have a lease with the city, Mach said.

The McHenry County Housing Authority will be the official entity in charge of the building, Rose said, but it has not yet entered a final lease with the city.

Although the Woodstock site will not become a fixed shelter site, Rose said the McHenry County Continuum of Care to End Homelessness group still is looking for other options so homeless people can focus on taking steps to get out of homelessness, rather than where to sleep the next night.

“Homelessness can be exhausting.

Many of our guests don’t sleep well because they are sleeping outside,” Rose said. “If we can’t let them rest, then our intake efforts will fail, and we won’t be able to help them transition out of homelessness.”

VIEWS Joan Oliver One also would think that in more than 30 years, we as a society might have figured out how to put an end to this unnecessary anti-social behavior.

A recent report led by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine indicates otherwise.

The report, titled “Preventing Bullying Through Science, Policy, and Practice,” looked at what is known and what needs to be known to reduce bullying and its consequences.

The good news is that bullying now is recognized as a serious public health problem among children and teenagers.

Unfortunately, the scope of bullying has grown over the decades, with social media and the Internet providing a vast new frontier for victimization.

Not surprising, the study found that bullying causes short- and long-

study found that such policies actually lead to an underreporting of bullying incidents because the punishment is perceived as too harsh.

The recommendation was to discontinue such policies and to focus resources on evidenced-based policies and programs, and to rely on multifaceted schoolwide programs along with targeted interventions for at-risk kids and those being bullied.

More information can be found on the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine’s website, nationalacademies.org.

Yes, more than 30 years later, bullying remains a problem for our nation’s children. Yet, I can’t help but be encouraged that at least we’re talking about the problem and trying to better address it.

Let’s hope it doesn’t take another 30 years to finally win the battle.

term consequences for not only the kids who are bullied, but also for those who are doing the bullying.

Bullied children were found to experience physical problems, including sleep disturbances, gastrointestinal issues and headaches.

Research also is finding an increased risk for mental health problems. In the long term, that can mean depression, anxiety, and alcohol and drug abuse in adulthood.

Research also found the bullies more likely to be depressed and to engage in high-risk activities, such as theft and vandalism.

Also not surprisingly, youths who were bullied or who were perpetrators were statistically significantly more likely to contemplate or attempt suicide compared with other children.

However, evidence still is lacking on whether bullying is a main causal factor in youth suicides.

One surprising finding was that zero-tolerance policies – those that result in suspension or expulsion for bullies – are not effective, with little evidence to support their use. The

More than 30 years has passed since the worst of the taunts, since the worst of the relentless torture of my junior high school days.

As one who had been deemed an “other,” I was in line for physical, emotional and verbal abuse from a cross-section of my classmates.

For some, I didn’t come from a “good enough” family, as evidenced by my lack of designer jeans and peer-approved footwear. The hand-me-downs I donned each day made me stick out amid the Calvin Kleins and Gloria Vanderbilts.

For others, I was ugly and awkward, my teeth crooked and overlapping, too big for the mouth that held them.

For still others, I was a teacher’s pet, someone to be despised and put in her place.

Clearly, I made it through that challenging period, as did countless other adults who carry the scars of bullying all these years later.

So it’s not surprising that a lot of people would think that bullying is just a “rite of passage.”

D-300 to conduct review of Cambridge Lakes Charter

said.

He also has said the charter school maintains a level of autonomy, but is considered to be a District 300 school and certain noncompliance could expose the district to potential penalties.

The special board meeting, starting at 7 p.m. at Hampshire High School, will provide an opportunity for representatives of the charter school to make a presentation and to field questions afterward, McGinn said.

“The district maintains that the charter school should continue to serve our community,” he wrote. “This meeting does not focus on revocation or nonrenewal. However, the concerns previously outlined may prevent a successful application for renewal.”

The board is not slated to decide whether the charter school will be renewed or not, but it will determine a date for the school to submit the renewal application. Cambridge Lakes Charter School, run by Northern Kane Educational Corp., began in 2007 and now serves between 850 and 900 students in kindergarten to eighth grade, along with a high school component.

By Diane Krieger Spivak Believe it or not, there are more than 100 different types of sleep disorders Most fall into several main categories, which include abnormal sleep behavior disorders, circadian rhythm sleep disorders, excessive daytime sleepiness disorders, insomnia, and an “other” category that includes bedwetting and snoring, according to the National Sleep Foundation.

Abnormal sleep behavior disorders include nightmares, REM behavior disorder, sleep talking and sleepwalking.

Almost everyone has heard of nightmares, the “bad” dreams most common in children during REM sleep. Adults get them too, however.

Sleep terrors, which are extreme nightmares, take place during non-REM sleep.

REM behavior disorder is present when a person acts out their dreams, either moving their limbs or getting up and actually moving around, even sleep talking or sleepwalking.

Circadian rhythm sleep disorders include delayed phase sleep disorder, non-24 sleep

wake disorder and shift work disorder. Circadian rhythms are what regulate our natural sleep and wake patterns. Delayed phase sleep disorder is the inability to fall asleep and wake at normal night and morning hours. Non-24 sleep wake disorder, typically experienced by blind people, is the inability to perceive light, which prevents the synchronization of their internal body clock to the day-night cycle, causing fluctuating periods of good and bad sleep, says the Foundation. Shift work disorder is the result of working fluctuating day and night shifts.

Excessive daytime sleepiness disorders include excessive sleepiness, extreme sleepiness, narcolepsy and cataplexy. Excessive sleep may be caused by insufficient sleep or poor sleep quality from sleep apnea. Narcolepsy is a neurological disorder caused by the brain’s inability to regulate sleep-wake cycles normally, exhibiting fatigue, insomnia and sleep attacks and cataplexy — an abrupt temporary loss of voluntary muscle control caused by emotions like laughter, anger, or excitement.

Insomnia, one of the most common sleep disorders, is the inability to fall asleep. Snoring, which is extremely common, is noisy sleeping, typically caused by age, sleep apnea, or obesity.

HAMPSHIRE – Algonquin-based Community Unit School District 300 will host a special board meeting Thursday to review the progress of Cambridge Lakes Charter School after a number of concerns were laid out at the end of last year. Superintendent Fred Heid in December outlined several issues surrounding the charter school, 900 Wester Blvd. in Pingree Grove, from its contract with Illinois Central College to its kindergarten readiness camp.

Other issues were found regarding its English Language Learners program, special education, preschool and finance, and vaccinations, according to an email from District 300 Director of Public Relations and Communications Anthony McGinn.

The concerns stem from complaints such as parents being “coached” to modify their student’s individual education plan in order to attend the charter school; a response-to-intervention process inconsistent with district and state requirements; among others, Heid has

State Rep. David McSweeney is calling on the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency to examine lead levels in Illinois’ drinking water supplies, he said in a news release.

“We are learning through media reports that some water systems could have lead levels exceeding federal standards,” said McSweeney, R-Barrington Hills. “This is our drinking water we are talking about here. The IEPA needs to investigate this closely and report back to us on how widespread this problem really is. This problem needs to be addressed now.”

According to recent media reports, some public water systems have had tests showing lead levels exceeding federal standards.

“We cannot have another Flint, Michigan,” McSweeney said in the news release. “We have to get to the bottom of this and take care of it before we have a

truly disastrous situation on our hands.”

McSweeney filed House Joint Resolution 153, which directs the IEPA to conduct a study of lead in Illinois drinking water. The study would begin immediately, and the IEPA will have to issue a comprehensive report no later than Dec. 31, according to the news release.

“Part of the problem in Flint was that the public was not getting accurate information,” McSweeney said. “We Rep. David McSweeney can and should prevent something like that from happening here. The only way we can solve this problem is to get accurate information. If we have learned anything from Flint, it should be that we need to start working on this sooner rather than later.”

House Joint Resolution 153 has been introduced and awaits assignment to a legislative committee.

CARY – High School senior artists will

share their work during the upcoming 2016 Odyssey Art Walk at Cary-Grove High School.

The school, 2208 Three Oaks Road in Cary, will host the art walk from 6 to 8 p.m. Friday.

The event will begin in the lobby, according to a recent release from Crystal Lake-based Community High School District 155.

Everyone is invited to attend to see and buy art as well as to meet the artists.

The Odyssey was created by the Senior Studio Class of 2005 as a casual show, but has evolved to include art for sale, performance art, interactive displays and guest artists, musicians and makers, district officials said.

The Cary-Grove Jazz combo also performs each year.

This year’s guest makers include senior students from Woods, Metals, Drafting and Engineering, who will showcase their work. Skits will be performed by theater seniors throughout the night, as well.

er. Having officers from municipal departments makes it easier for the sheriff’s office to deploy or hold monthly SWAT team trainings while still meeting its patrol staffing obligations.

“Additionally, bringing people on from the outside motivates our people internally,” Embry said. “When it’s just your people, there’s a tendency to get a little complacent. When you bring in outside agencies, no one wants to be the slacker, so everyone works way harder when we have individuals from outside agencies.”

Officers also bring knowledge of their municipality to the team and can bring their training and skills back to their normal departments.

The SWAT team is deployed under a very narrow set of circumstances, Embry said, acknowledging the increased scrutiny SWAT teams are under nationwide.

In the past two years, the team has been used to execute search warrants in Woodstock, Harvard and Wonder Lake.

The team responded to Holiday

Hills on Oct. 16, 2014, when Scott Peters opened fire on McHenry County Sheriff’s deputies Dwight Maness and Khalia Satkiewicz.

McHenry County’s was the first SWAT team to respond to Fox Lake police Lt. Joseph Gliniewicz’s shooting on Sept. 1.

“When we do need it, we want to be highly trained, highly skilled and on point to do our job,” Embry said. “Being able to work in concert with other departments, multi-jurisdictionally, is a bonus for that.”

people,” Fourdyce said. “This was my chance to be part on a team where your major goal is to be part of a team and go for the bad guys.”

The team hasn’t – and won’t – expand for the sake of getting bigger, Cmdr. Alex Embry said.

Officers who want to join have to pass a battery of tests measuring their physical and mental prowess and ability to fire a gun in a timed setting. Then, they complete a face-to-face interview.

Once on the team, SWAT officers go through annual physical and firing tests.

So far, officers from Woodstock, Lake in the Hills and Algonquin have qualified and been selected.

“It’s probably the best thing I’ve seen done to our SWAT team since I’ve been a part of it,” Embry said.

One of the benefits he sees to opening membership to other departments is that it allows for the cost to be spread out across the county.

Municipalities are responsible for providing the uniform and equipment for their officers.

For instance, the intergovernmental agreement Woodstock signed to allow Fourdyce to join called for about $6,500 in training, equipment and ammunition costs.

There’s also the matter of manpow-

Mixed reviews for latest budget talks

By IVAN MORENO The Associated Press

SPRINGFIELD – Legislative leaders gave mixed reviews Tuesday to the latest negotiations with Gov. Bruce Rauner to seek an end to Illinois’ epic budget standoff, tempering any optimism with skepticism that a compromise is possible anytime soon.

As the stalemate nears a year, Rauner and his fellow Republicans continue to press Democrats to pass pro-business, union-weakening legislation and make Illinois’ workers’ compensation insurance program less expensive for businesses. In return, the governor and Republicans have said they would go along with a tax increase to solve the state’s multibillion-dollar deficit.

After the meeting, Republican House Leader Jim Durkin described the meeting this way: “I’m pleased to say that after many, many months of objection by (Speaker Michael Madigan) to discuss any type of reform, the speaker has indicated he will open negotiations on collective bargaining in local governments, pension reform and also workmen’s compensation reform.

State upgrading security for driver’s licenses, ID cards

CHICAGO – Illinois will soon begin mailing more secure driver’s licenses and ID cards to applicants as the state works to meet tighter federal security standards, officials said Tuesday.

By the end of July, applicants will start receiving a temporary paper ID or license, which is good for 45 days, along with their old ID or license with a hole punched in it, Illinois Secretary of State Jesse White’s office announced. Those items will serve as identification and are good for air travel.

The office then will send the applicant’s information to a central, secure facility located in Illinois for a fraud check to vet the applicant’s identity. The state will then mail the applicant a “higher quality, more secure” license or ID within 15 days, officials said.

Professors protest Rauner’s education board nomination

URBANA – Gov. Bruce Rauner’s choice to fill the college faculty slot on the Illinois Board of Higher Education has prompted backlash from faculty at the University of Illinois and across the state.

Rauner announced John Bambenek, a former Champaign school board member and a onetime Republican state Senate candidate, as his faculty choice in midApril. At the time of the announcement, the governor said Bambenek would bring a unique perspective to the board because of his experience as a lecturer and small-business owner.

Members of the Urbana campus Senate Executive Committee will draft a letter protesting the nomination to the Rauner administration, The (Champaign) News-Gazette reported. The Faculty Advisory Council to the Illinois Board of Higher Education plans to send a memo

Madigan noted that lawmakers and Rauner have been able to pass shortterm funding for higher education and local government services over the last year when the governor “sets aside his nonbudget agenda.”

Illinois has gone without a budget since July 1, when Rauner vetoed the out-of-balance spending plan Democrats sent him.

Rauner has said he’s optimistic he can reach a two-year budget deal with lawmakers before they adjourn May 31. After that, passing a budget will be more difficult because it will require a three-fifths vote in each chamber.

Democratic Senate President John Cullerton said the meeting was productive because Rauner reinforced his commitment to support a tax increase under the right circumstances. And legislative leaders said after the meeting Tuesday that they’ll put together a group of lawmakers to discuss the reforms Rauner wants.

Republican House Leader Christine Radogno said she was glad Madigan was willing to have those discussions, but she expressed doubt that the group would succeed where others haven’t.

Cool, wet weather keeps farmers out of fields

SPRINGFIELD – The Department of Agriculture says wet, cool conditions in Illinois kept farmers out of their fields for much of last week.

The average temperature across Illinois was about three degrees below normal at 58.8 degrees. Precipitation averaged 2.09 inches, about 2 inches above normal.

Agriculture analysts say there was only one day during the week ending May 15 that had conditions suitable for field work.

Eighty-three percent of the corn crop has been planted, compared with the five-year average of 76 percent. Corn emerged was at 64 percent, compared with 66 percent last year and the five-year average of 45 percent. Twenty-nine percent of the soybean crop has been planted.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS Clinton, Sanders locked in Tuesday, killing at least 69 people, tight contest in Kentucky officials said – the latest in a string WASHINGTON – Bernie Sanders won Oregon’s presidential primary and battled Hillary Clinton to a neck-and-neck outcome in Kentucky on Tuesday, vowing to soldier on as Clinton sought to blunt his momentum ahead of her likely general election matchup against Republican Donald Trump.

The race in Kentucky was too close to call, but Clinton wrote on her Twitter feed: “We just won Kentucky! Thanks to everyone who turned out. We’re always stronger united.” With almost all the votes counted, Clinton held a narrow lead of less than one-half of 1 percent as she tried to avoid ending the primary season with a string of losses to Sanders.

Trump won the sole GOP contest in Oregon, where Sanders was declared the winner shortly after the polls closed in the liberal-leaning state.

Rallying supporters in California, Sanders said he would end up with about half of the delegates in Kentucky and promised to press forward although he would need to win about two-thirds of the remaining pledged delegates to overtake Clinton.

Wave of bombings in Baghdad kill 69

BAGHDAD – A wave of bombings struck outdoor markets and a restaurant in Shiite-dominated neighborhoods of Baghdad on

of attacks in and around the Iraqi capital that have left more than 200 dead in the past week.

The four separate bombings were a further challenge to the beleaguered government of Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi, who is struggling to prove that his forces can maintain security in Baghdad and elsewhere.

One of the bombings Tuesday struck an outdoor market in the heavily Shiite district of Sadr City, a frequent bombing target. In the wake of the blast, influential Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr issued a statement to his followers, saying the attacks “are the clearest evidence that your government has become unable to protect and provide you with security.”

The National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine concluded that tinkering with the genetics of what we eat doesn’t produce the “Frankenfood” monster some opponents claim – but it isn’t feeding the world with substantially increased yields, as proponents promised.

Trump sends teams to Democrat-leaning states

By STEVE PEOPLES The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Donald Trump is rushing to install operatives in several states that traditionally favor Democrats, pointing to a general election plan consistent with the campaign he has run thus far: defying conventional wisdom and political trends.

The staffing expansion includes Maine, Minnesota and other places where Trump opens as the underdog, with the New York billionaire seeking to expand the electoral battlefield by drawing on his appeal among working-class white voters – and probable Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton’s perceived weakness with them. Still, it is an unlikely path to the White House, through states that no Republican presidential candidate has carried since the 1980s.

“I will win states that no Republican would even run in,” Trump told The Associated Press in a recent interview.

The Trump campaign has identified roughly 15 states where it plans to install state directors by the end of the month. They include traditional battlegrounds such as Ohio, Florida and Virginia and more challenging terrain such as Minnesota, Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Maine – places Republican have lost for the last six presidential elections or longer.

Target states also will likely include Republican-leaning Georgia, where demographic shifts benefit Democrats.

Trump’s deployment of political operatives was outlined by campaign strategists who weren’t authorized to speak publicly about internal strategy and demanded anonymity.

The plan will be subsidized, at least in part, by the Republican Party’s new “building fund,” a lightly regulated pool of money that can include donations of more than $100,000 from individual donors, they said, though rules for doing so

Trump is still playing catch-up at this point. While Clinton is already weeks into her own swing-state effort, Trump’s team is scrambling to build a national organization essentially from scratch.

“Up until three weeks ago, there were 102 or 103 employees, which is fewer than Ben Carson had in January,” Trump aide Barry Bennett said. “Today, that number is much bigger, and it’s growing every day.”

The former reality television star’s success in the GOP primary season was fueled almost exclusively by personality and a flood of free media coverage. His expansion into new states signals recognition that Trump must grow his bare-bones operation to be competitive this fall, even if he doesn’t fully embrace other modern-day political tactics.

He refused to add a pollster for the first 11 months of his White House bid, relying on sometimes questionable public polls when making strategic decisions. Shifting toward November’s vote, he recently hired GOP pollster Tony Fabrizio.

It’s a step toward professionalizing the campaign. Up to now, Trump’s strategists have relied on the Republican National Committee’s

voter data and internal poling to guide the battleground state staffing plan. Going forward, Fabrizio will work with Trump and committee staff on voter modeling, overseeing polling and voter targeting, according to someone familiar with the hiring.

Trump’s team aims to have about 15 state directors on the payroll by June 1, supplementing more than 200 committee operatives nationwide. Communications, events and “coalitions” chiefs will augment the campaign’s presence.

But bringing in more players doesn’t necessarily make a winning team. Some of the most experienced swing-state Republican operatives have shunned Trump and it’s unclear how many might work for him now that he has almost clinched the Republican nomination. Without them, he would be left with a pool of state-based loyalists, many inexperienced and unknown to the campaign’s leaders.

To help fund the expansion, Trump’s strategists said he’ll draw from a fundraising deal with the Republican National Committee that should be signed in coming days. Clinton has a similar agreement with Democrats, enabling her to collect checks of more than $350,000 from individual donors.

Engineer blamed in deadly Amtrak wreck

By MICHAEL R. SISAK The Associated Press WASHINGTON – The Amtrak engineer whose speeding train ran off the rails in Philadelphia last year was apparently distracted by word that a train nearby had been hit by a rock, federal investigators concluded Tuesday, pinning most of the blame on him for the wreck that killed eight people.

“He went, in a matter of seconds, from distraction to disaster,” National Transportation Safety Board member Robert Sumwalt said.

At the same time, the NTSB said a contributing factor was the railroad industry’s decades-long failure to fully install positive train control, GPSbased technology that can automatically slow trains that are going over the speed limit.

Had positive train Brandon control been in use along Bostian that stretch of track, “we would not be here today,” said Ted Turpin, an NTSB investigator.

Engineer Brandon Bostian heard about the rock-throwing on the radio and was apparently so preoccupied by it that he lost track of where he was and accelerated full-throttle to 106 mph as he went into a sharp curve with a 50 mph speed limit, investigators said at an NTSB hearing to pinpoint the cause of the May 12, 2015, derailment. About 200 people aboard the Washington-to-New York train that night were injured.

AP file photo

Emergency personnel work May 13, 2015, at the scene of a derailment in Philadelphia of an Amtrak train headed to New York. The National Transportation Safety Board met Tuesday to detail the probable cause of the fatal derailment.

Bostian, who has been suspended without pay since the crash for speeding, did not attend the hearing. He and his lawyer did not immediately return calls and emails seeking comment.

Ron Kaminkow, an Amtrak engineer who also serves as secretary of the industry union consortium Railroad Workers United, said the board’s conclusion underscores the need to put two engineers on trains. “If one buys into this theory, having another engineer or conductor would’ve prevented the wreck,” he said.

As for what this could mean for

Amtrak and Bostian, the railroad has already taken responsibility for the tragedy, and its liability is capped under federal law at $295 million, which could easily be exhausted, given the number of deaths and serious injuries.

The Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office is helping the NTSB on the investigation, but a spokesman would not comment on the possibility of criminal charges. The hearing included a spirited discussion over how much blame to assign to the lack of positive train control.

In the end, the NTSB cited that as a sec-

ondary factor.

But NTSB chairman Christopher Hart warned that unless the technology is put fully in place soon, “I’m very concerned that we’re going to be back in this room again, hearing investigators detail how technology that we have recommended for more than 45 years could have prevented yet another fatal rail accident.”

Among other things, the NTSB also recommended research into train seat belts and ways to secure luggage that can become missiles in a derailment; training for crew members on multitasking; and new equipment and procedures to help engineers keep track of their location in spots where there is no positive train control.

In a statement, Amtrak said it “deeply regrets the tragic derailment” and will carefully review the NTSB findings and recommendations and quickly adopt them where appropriate. Amtrak noted that positive train control is already in place on most of its portion of the Northeast Corridor.

The problem of people throwing rocks at trains is so common that train crews have a term for it: “getting rocked.” But it is a danger railroads are almost powerless to stop. No one was ever arrested in the rock-throwing in Philadelphia.

Bostian told investigators that just before the wreck, he was listening to radio traffic from a Philadelphia commuter train operator who said a rock had shattered his windshield. At one point, Bostian passed the commuter train on an adjoining track.

Senate easily advances $1.1 billion in Zika funding

By ANDREW TAYLOR The Associated Press WASHINGTON – The Senate voted decisively on Tuesday in favor of a bipartisan $1.1 billion measure to combat the Zika virus this year and next, cutting back President Barack Obama’s request but offering significantly more money to fight Zika than would House GOP conservatives.

The 68-29 vote propelled the measure over a filibuster and sets the stage to add the Zika funding to an unrelated spending bill. It comes three months after Obama requested $1.9 billion to battle the virus, which can cause severe birth defects.

“We see the people of this country facing a public health threat,” said Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida, who supports the full Obama request. “Our response should be ‘Let’s deal with it the way that medical experts are saying we

The House would fund the Zika battle for a shorter duration – through September – and is “offset” with spending cuts elsewhere in the budget.

The Senate vote came after Republicans blocked a measure matching Obama’s request and after Democrats killed a GOP-backed proposal to cut into Obama’s health care law to pay for battling Zika.

The effects of Zika are not very severe for most adults, but for pregnant women, the virus can cause a serious birth defect called microcephaly and other severe birth defects. Zika is commonly spread by mosquitoes and can also be contracted through sexual contact.

Zika is expected to spread more widely during the summer mosquito season, but officials say outbreaks in the U.S. are likely to be limited. To date, there have been more than 500 cases of Zika in the continental U.S., all of which so far have been associated with overseas travel.

Obama requested the funding in February and has been forced to tap

unspent 2015 funds from the successful battle against Ebola to finance almost $600 million in anti-Zika efforts. They include research on the virus and Zika-related birth defects, response teams to limit Zika’s spread, and helping other countries fight the virus.

The House measure, slated for a vote as early as Wednesday, will advance as a stand-alone bill and it could prove challenging to forge a compromise out of the two chambers’ significantly different versions.

The White House issued a veto threat on the House measure on Tuesday, saying it is “woefully inadequate” and protested that it would only fund the Zika battle through Sept. 30.

“It is woefully insufficient given the significant risk that is posed by Zika,” White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said. “The House of Representatives is three months late and more than a billion short.”

The group also broadly agreed that “persistent noncompliance” with the truce could result in rebel forces being excluded from the agreement.

But beyond such pledges, the meeting did not devise any concrete ways to resolve the main problem standing in

Without that, progress in ending the violence and reducing Syria’s human misery can only be marginal and temporary.

VIENNA – Seeking to salvage and reinforce a shaky truce, world and regional powers agreed Tuesday to try to turn the faltering pause in Syria’s fighting into a comprehensive cease-fire and boost humanitarian aid deliveries with the hope of restarting peace talks.

But underscoring the difficulties in ending the five-year war that has left hundreds of thousands dead and fueled the rise of Islamic extremists, the more than 20 nations were not able to outline specific penalties for noncompliance with the truce and the U.N. special envoy for Syria was unable to announce a date for the resumption of negotiations on a political transition.

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said the participants set a June 1 deadline for the resumption of humanitarian aid to areas cut off from the outside world. Reading from a joint statement issued by the International Syria Support Group, he said that if land routes remain blocked, food aid will be air dropped and international pressure will be increased on those preventing such relief from getting through. Such pressure will also be applied to stop indiscriminate use of force by the Syrian

competing agendas are going to have to prioritize peace,” he said.

One key division continues to be the fate of Syrian President Bashar Assad.

Moscow opposes any attempt to forge a peace settlement that is conditional on his removal.

But Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said his country’s support of the Syrian regime did not constitute backing for Assad.

Instead, he said Russia supports “the fight against terrorism, and we don’t see a better alternative to doing that than the Syrian army.”

Britain nonetheless called for more leverage on Assad from Moscow, while Germany repeated the position held by the West and the Saudi-backed opposition that an agreement should outline steps leading to the end of the Syrian leader’s rule.

“What we now need to see the Russians doing is calling their client to order and making sure that the Assad regime delivers on the obligations that Russia is making on its behalf in these meetings,” British Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond said. German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier asserted the Syrian leader must bow out “because there can be no lasting future for this country with Assad.”

OUR VIEW

Support for redistricting reform group Frustrated voters who are tired of the political and governmental status quo in dysfunctional Illinois are a step closer to being able to vote for real reform.

We speak of redisFor the record tricting reform that would bring greater Redistricting reform would accountability to the bring greater accountability to Illinois House and the Illinois House and Senate.

Senate, as promised by the Independent Map Amendment.

A huge effort by the Independent Maps group led to the filing of more than 570,000 signatures on petitions that support redistricting reform.

The group already had culled about 50,000 signatures that were duplicates or illegible, meaning those submitted have a better chance of being accepted and counted toward the 290,216 valid signatures needed for the amendment to be placed on the November ballot.

The proposal would block politicians from drawing new district lines every 10 years that favor their own interests.

For Illinois politicians, the power to draw these House and Senate districts has been the power to protect incumbents, punish political foes, eliminate competition and basically select their own voters – which is the reverse of how things ought to work.

As explained by its supporters, the Independent Map Amendment would establish a nonpartisan, independent commission that would be tasked with drawing state legislative districts “in a way that is transparent and open to the public.”

The current system, “controlled by legislators with little public involvement,” would be scrapped.

The Independent Redistricting Commission would consist of 11 members. They would be selected from applicants to the Illinois auditor general.

Anyone could apply.

Once seated, the commission would get to work in an open and transparent process that would produce maps that ignore politics but instead are designed for the best interests of the public.

This system is far preferable to how it’s done now, where politicians use software and voting data to secretly draw boundaries that favor the party in power, and the public has no real say in the outcome before legislative and gubernatorial approval.

We support the Independent Maps group as it continues to fight for a redistricting revolution in Illinois.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

ANOTHER VIEW

Common sense at the Supreme Court Articulating his view of judicial restraint during an address to Georgetown University law graduates in 2006,Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. said the Supreme Court should keep its rulings limited strictly to the issues squarely before it, because, as he put it, “if it is not necessary to decide more to a case ... it is necessary not to decide more.” That doctrine of avoidance goes double for cases in which it is impossible for the court to decide anything at all – or so it would seem based on the justices’ hyper-cautious disposition Monday of a controversial case involving religious-freedom objections to the contraceptive mandate under the Affordable Care Act. Certain religiously affiliated nonprofit groups that provide health-insurance coverage to their workers object to a workaround the government devised to accommodate their theological opposition to contracep-

tion. In essence, it would allow groups that fill out a written notification form to have their employees obtain contraception coverage through a separate insurance account. However, the groups argued even that minimal step forced them to promote a process that ends in the provision of contraception, thus imposing a “substantial” burden on their free exercise of religion.

We thought, and still think, the religious groups were expressing serious concerns but their legal claim was a stretch – and the Obama administration has the better argument, based on ensuring equal health care for women. Four of the five federal appeals courts to consider the matter agreed. However, the eight-member Supreme Court found itself deadlocked after Justice Antonin Scalia’s death.

At that point, the justices took an unusual but creative step, issuing an order that laid

out a possible compromise solution and asking the parties to the case to file briefs commenting on it. The court’s suggestion, in essence, was religious objectors could trigger the workaround not by filling out a government form, but by notifying insurers they do not want contraceptives included in their group plans, whereupon the insurers would contact employees to offer them coverage.

The religious groups signaled support for such an alternative, and the Obama administration said it could not be ruled out.

We’re all for it, too – as long as the end result still facilitates unhindered access to birth control coverage for those who need it.

In short, the court dropped a big hint that this matter might be best dealt with through a less polarized, and polarizing, process. We hope the parties take advantage.

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.

That principle forms part of the Western tradition of thinking about the ethics of war. This tradition is not pacifist: It accepts wars can be just, and in a just war the military can justly take actions it knows will cause civilian deaths. But this view insists the killing of noncombatants, including children, cannot be the goal of a just military act, either as an end in itself or as the means toward some other end (like breaking the enemy’s will so as to yield peace).

We have largely adhered to this tradition, before 1945 and after. We sometimes have debated whether our use of drones is causing too many civilian deaths. But we do not

deliberately target civilians for killing whenever we think the consequences would be beneficial. When Donald Trump suggested deterring terrorists by killing their family members, he was recommending a highly controversial change in our practices.

Dropping atom bombs on Japan is hard to reconcile with the honorable tradition. This doesn’t call into question the essential justice of the Allied cause. It doesn’t mean Truman deserves all the connotations of a “war criminal” or “murderer,” terms some of his critics have been willing to employ. But it does suggest he chose wrongly.

If he did, should Obama apologize for it? Collective or institutional apologies are a tricky business: They often involve people apologizing for things they themselves didn’t do to people who weren’t the direct victims. That criticism was made when the House and the Senate apologized for slavery and Jim Crow.

But Congress and the entire U.S. government are enduring institutions, and the people who have contemporary responsibility

for them rightly can acknowledge those institutions’ past misconduct.

Congress surely bears a share of the blame for slavery and the oppression of African-Americans.

If it was wrong to drop atomic bombs on civilian populations, and present leaders rightly can apologize for past wrongs, why shouldn’t Obama apologize at Hiroshima? I think the answer is simple. Almost all Americans recognize slavery and Jim Crow were grave moral wrongs.

Most Americans don’t view Hiroshima and Nagasaki similarly. They think we were justified.

Obama therefore cannot legitimately apologize on behalf of the American people. He can regret the loss of life while staying silent on the morality of the bombings. Any apology should be left to a future president – and issued only if America reaches a new consensus on this issue.

IT’S YOUR WRITE Denouncing nepotism

To the Editor: The Algonquin Township Republican Central Committee made history last night. In a unanimous vote, we adopted a resolution denouncing nepotism. There was excellent discussion on the subject, including discussion on whether to include the more overarching concept of patronage. The group decided much more work is required to do justice to patronage, so we agreed, as a first step, to adopt a resolution dealing only with nepotism, for now, while we research how to effectively address patronage.

This is the first political group in the state of Illinois to adopt such a resolution. It also is interesting to note this was done at the first full meeting of the committee after the April convention.

No pensions for part time

To the Editor: I want to applaud Erich Job’s letter published May 11 concerning possible pension abuse by McHenry County Board

members and a questionable practice by the new chairman. Thank you for taking the time to write it. Now, let’s face it, Illinois is in serious trouble with unsustainable pension obligations, a problem that grows exponentially worse. In Illinois, there simply are too many taxing districts, school districts and townships.

The financial drain of this bloated state government is too much for taxpayers.

Illinois has the highest taxes but also the most unpaid bills of any state. This is not a record to be proud of. Maybe our County Board members will look into a mirror and see they all need to rescind their pensions. Part-time jobs should not qualify.

Barack Obama will be the first sitting U.S. president to visit Hiroshima, a prospect that has set off arguments about whether he should apologize for our use of nuclear bombs to end World War II. The White House says he will not. While the case that he should is strong, the case that he shouldn’t is stronger.

Most Americans, from 1945 to the present, have believed President Harry Truman was justified in bombing Japan. Most supporters of that decision say the bombs saved lives by breaking Japan’s will to continue fighting. The alternative, they add, was a ground invasion that would have caused much more blood, Allied and Japanese, to be shed.

But there are others who dispute the claim that the bombs were necessary to bring about Japan’s unconditional surrender. An official U.S. government report in 1946 concluded “it seems clear that, even without the atomic bombing attacks, air supremacy over Japan could have exerted sufficient pressure to bring about unconditional surrender and obviate the need for invasion.”

Chicago debates rules for short-term rentals

By SOPHIA TAREEN The Associated Press CHICAGO – The debate over regulating short-term home rentals through companies such as Airbnb unfolded Tuesday in Chicago, with residents divided over a proposed ordinance that would limit the number of rentals, require city registration and add a surcharge to pay for homeless services.

Hundreds showed up at a City Council panel’s hearing to discuss Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s latest plan to address concerns about the burgeoning home-sharing industry, so many that the location of the hearing had to be moved.

As the hearing stretched into the evening, residents, business owners and associations argued not only about the merits of plan, but also about the rise of short-term rentals in general – a debate that’s played out nationwide.

The committee adjourned without taking a vote. It planned to meet Wednesday morning ahead of a full City Council meeting.

Aldermen in bustling neighborhoods claimed Chicago isn’t protecting homeowners who end up near de facto hotels with streams of tourists disrupting residential areas.

“It’s a major quality-of-life issue,” said Alderman Brendan Reilly, who represents a swath of prominent downtown areas. “This use can change the character of a residential block, a high-

rise community and everything in between.”

He was among the aldermen who said the proposal – which would also require companies to register units, provide insurance on behalf of hosts and submit regular detailed data about the rentals – didn’t go far enough with enforcement.

Others claimed home rentals cut into the availability of rentals for longterm residents.

Proponents, however, said the estimated $2 million generated for homeless services from the 4 percent surcharge could improve neighborhood life.

Others applauded the growth of short-term rentals, saying it helps showcase Chicago, and boost struggling areas, both with neighborhood spending and incomes.

“This extra income can make a difference to everyday people,” said Margaret Wooten, a director of the Chicago Urban League.

Overtime pay may become reality for more workers

By CHRISTOPHER S. RUGABER The Associated Press WASHINGTON – More than 4 million U.S. workers will become newly eligible for overtime pay under rules to be issued Wednesday by the Obama administration.

The policy changes are intended to counter erosion in overtime protections, which date from the 1930s and require employers to pay 1½ times a worker’s regular salary for any work past 40 hours a week.

In the fast-food and retail industries in particular, many employees are deemed “managers,” work long hours, but are barely paid more than the people they supervise.

Under the new rules, first released in draft form last summer, the annual salary threshold at which companies can deny overtime pay will be doubled from $23,660 to nearly $47,500. That would make 4.2 million more salaried workers eligible for overtime pay.

Hourly workers would continue to be mostly guaranteed overtime.

The White House estimates that the rule change will raise pay by $1.2 billion a year over the next decade. In addition, some companies may instead choose to reduce their employees’ hours to avoid paying the extra wages.

“Either way, the worker wins,” Vice President Joe Biden said on a conference call with reporters Tuesday afternoon.

Business groups, however, said the

changes will increase paperwork and scheduling burdens for small companies and force many businesses to convert salaried workers to hourly ones in order to more closely track working time. Many employees will see as a step down, they said.

“With the stroke of a pen, the Labor Department is demoting millions of workers,” said David French, a senior vice president for the National Retail Federation. “Most of the people impacted by this change will not see any additional pay.”

The overtime threshold was last updated in 2004 and now covers just 7 percent of full-time, salaried workers, administration officials said. That’s down from 62 percent in 1975.

The higher threshold, which will take effect Dec. 1, will lift that ratio back to 35 percent, Labor Secretary Tom Perez said. Perez has spearheaded the administration’s effort and worked on formulating the rule for the past two years.

The new rule is intended to boost earnings for middle- and lower-income workers, Perez said, which have been stagnant since the late 1990s. Overtime pay hasn’t gotten as much attention as nationwide efforts to increase the minimum wage, but it could have a broad impact.

“This, in essence, is a minimum wage increase for the middle class,” said Judy Conti, federal advocacy coordinator for the National Employment Law Project, an advocacy group.

WORTH TALKIN’ ABOUT WEDNESDAY, MAY 18, 2016

CANNES, France – The gloves have finally come off Robert De Niro. The great heavyweight of the boxing film has at last moved to the trainer’s corner, that sweat-drenched home of grizzled veteran actors and manly pep talks. In “Hands of Stone,” Jonathan Jakubowicz’s biopic of the lightweight champion Roberto Duran, De Niro plays the famed trainer Ray Arcel. Edgar Ramirez, the “Carlos” and “Point Break” star, plays the Panamanian fighter in the film.

In Cannes shortly after “Hands of Stone” debuted at the film festival, De Niro said he was happy to leave the rigors of playing a boxer to the 39-year-old Ramirez.

Kiefer Sutherland will play a low-level Cabinet member who suddenly becomes president on a new ABC drama this fall, one of nine new series the network will launch next season.

Kiefer Sutherland to star in ABC thriller, part of new fall TV season NEW YORK – Kiefer Sutherland will play a low-level Cabinet member who suddenly becomes president on a new ABC drama this fall, and the network plans to add a second night of comedy to its schedule.

ABC has also given the go-ahead to another drama from the prolific creator Shonda Rhimes and a comedy where Minnie Driver plays a mom fighting for her special-needs child.

ABC was to present its new schedule to advertisers on Tuesday, the first under the stewardship of its new entertainment president, Channing Dungey. She replaced Paul Lee as the network, which generally fights with NBC for second place behind CBS, tries to improve sagging ratings.

While Sutherland’s new series, “Designated Survivor,” is a thriller, presumably the fictional president will face less action than Jack Bauer, his character in Fox’s “24.” His character on the Wednesday night show becomes president after an attack against Washington.

The network is opening its Tuesday night schedule to comedies, while keeping Wednesday and Friday as nights where sitcoms also air. The Wednesday night show “The Middle” will move to Tuesdays in the fall, joined by “Fresh Off the Boat” and “The Real O’Neals.” Dungey said the move is a reflection of ABC’s strong development in comedy the past couple of years.

Driver’s comedy “Speechless” joins ABC’s schedule on Wednesdays in the fall, and the other new fall comedy is “American Housewife,” about a woman raising a dysfunctional family in a wealthy Connecticut suburb.

ABC has ordered nine new programs for next season, with five on the schedule in the fall.

CANNES, France – In a pair of films at the Cannes Film Festival, Kristen Stewart makes a plaything of her celebrity, giving a homes-of-the-stars Hollywood tour in Woody Allen’s 1930s-era tale “Cafe Society” and playing a fashion assistant in Olivier Assayas’ psychological drama “Personal Shopper.”

Though “Personal Shopper” was met by a smattering of boos at its press screening in Cannes, Stewart has won raves for both performances. Her sly subversions of her fame – playing characters that exist just outside the real-life spotlight always fixed on her – follow her award-winning role as a famous actress’s personal assistant in Assayas’ “Clouds of Sils Maria.”

In the mysterious “Personal Shopper,” her character buys designer clothes and jewelry for a star, while mourning her late twin brother, with whom she believes she can communicate spiritually.

Ex-model sues Cosby, Hugh Hefner, claiming abuse

LOS ANGELES – A former model who claims Bill Cosby sexually abused her at the Playboy Mansion in 2008 has filed a lawsuit against the comedian and Playboy founder Hugh Hefner.

The suit filed Monday in Los Angeles by Chloe Goins contends Hefner knew or should have known Cosby had drugged and sexually abused women and enabled his behavior.

Goins, 26, claims Cosby spiked her drink

when she attended a party at the Playboy Mansion sometime in 2008 and then abused her in a bedroom.

Goins’ suit says she doesn’t know the exact date of the incident. As a result, it’s unclear whether she was a minor at the time.

The lawsuit says Goins does not remember specifics of the abuse and states that she awoke in a bedroom of the Playboy Mansion with the comedian licking her toes and then pulling up his pants before leaving the room.

She did not immediately contact police because a friend advised against it, the suit states.

Rowling honored by PEN for literary, humanitarian work

NEW YORK – J.K. Rowling’s passion for free expression is so strong it extends to someone she’d otherwise not care to discuss: Donald Trump.

Speaking Monday night before hundreds gathered for PEN America’s annual gala at the American Museum of Natural History, the “Harry Potter” creator noted she opposed a recent petition calling for banning the presumptive Republican presidential nominee from entering the United Kingdom, saying such actions endanger everyone’s rights.

“I find almost everything that Mr. Trump says objectionable. I consider him offensive and bigoted,” said the British author, who received PEN’s Literary Service Award for her “extraordinary creativity” and for her efforts on behalf of institutionalized children and other humanitarian causes.

“But he has my full support to come to my country and be offensive and bigoted there.”

‘Dimming our own lights’

Fitness star Tracy Anderson: Stop aspiring to a celebrity body

By KELLI KENNEDY The Associated Press MIAMI – She’s sculpted the bodies of Gwyneth Paltrow and Jennifer Lopez and runs a multimillion-dollar fitness empire with 218,000 Instagram followers, but Tracy Anderson is tired of talking about how to achieve the perfect celebrity body.

Anderson has turned down several offers for reality shows and says she no longer accepts new celebrity clients.

And she’s cautious about being in an industry that often plays to women’s insecurities in a culture where social media photos scrutinize every body part and every calorie consumed.

She’d rather talk about what exercise can do for your mental health than how it can get you six-pack abs.

“What celebrities are doing is really irrelevant,” Anderson said in a recent interview while in Miami for a breast cancer fundraiser at her pop-up studio.

“I feel like we’re constantly dimming our own lights by showing there’s a demand for, ‘Oh my gosh, that celebrity is carrying that drink. Is she drinking it?

Is that why she looks like that? I want that drink, too, because then maybe I’ll look like that,’ ” Anderson said. “It’s toxic.”

Anderson, a 5-foot-tall, 41-year-old mother of two, struggled with her weight for years as a dancer. She said she never set out to be an entrepreneur.

“I really felt the personal pain from not being able to make weight as a dancer on a dance scholarship,” she said. “I gained 60 pounds with my first child. ... I understand what it’s like to feel not at home in your own body.”

Her mix of dance cardio is followed by what she calls “strategic muscle exhaustion” that includes rapid arm movements – often with no weights –

Celebrity fitness guru Tracy Anderson (front) leads a workout April 29 in Miami. She’s responsible for sculpting the bodies of Gwyneth Paltrow and Jennifer Lopez and running a multi-million dollar fitness empire. that require rotating your limbs in odd positions for 10 to 15 minutes nonstop and literally hundreds of repetitions of crazy leg lifts while on all fours.

Her dance cardio classes, which are heavy on jumping, have drawn criticism for being too harsh on joints, and many fitness experts have disputed her claims of reducing fat from certain areas, saying fat spot reduction is a myth.

Her overall method has been accused

of promoting unrealistic teeny-tiny bodies.

Anderson says the bodies she sculpts are simply a design preference from clients.

Her product line includes DVDs, protein powders and bars and an online streaming service where devotees pay $100 a month to take part in her weekly master classes.

There’s a five-year waiting list to

join her New York City studio.

Now she’s trying to build an online community of women devoted to building character traits, not just sculpting their bodies.

“I wish that a big [workout] motivator for everyone is just preparedness and strength ... when you’re empowered physically and sure-footed physically, it helps you push through stress and deal with stress better.”

Fitness expert Tracy Anderson’s 5 tips for working out 1. ALL MOVEMENTS ARE NOT THE SAME: “ ... If you’ve come to a certain point in life and you say, ‘I feel like my thighs are thick or I want my butt to be lifted’ ... you have the opportunity to fix those imbalances. It means you can’t run so you need to ask yourself the question, ‘Will I feel more balanced if I give up running but fix the thickness in my thighs or will I feel more balanced continuing to run because it makes me feel really great inside?’ ” 2. LOW WEIGHTS, HIGH REPS: “I’m not against big weights ... but if you’re going to fling around your arms in all these different quick movements and rotations, I don’t want you using

more than 3 pounds. ... I continuously see results. My skin at 41 after two babies is staying tight to the muscle. If you actually build your bicep out, you’re stretching the skin out as you age, and you lose collagen and you lose muscle mass that you either have to keep lifting more to build out to it and then you’re going to become disproportionate and the bottom is going to sag.”

3. THE MIND-BODY CONNECTION IS LEGIT SO EMBRACE IT: “I am constantly opening up new neuropathways in your brain and its communication with the body. ... If you can make your grocery list while you’re working out, then you’re not 100 percent engaged.”

4. TREND-HOPPING MIGHT NOT GET YOU THE BODY YOU WANT: “If you trend-hop and you go and do different trends all the time, you’re lacking complete strategy. Yes, you may be working out and working out is always good, but it’s a missed opportunity to really have design mastery happen with your body. There’s not anybody’s body that you can’t put in front of me ... that I can’t make into their most proportioned self.””

5. WEIGH YOURSELF DAILY: “Buy a digital scale and weigh yourself every morning so you have accurate data on your weight and feedback from the day before.”

By MIKE STOBBE The Associated Press NEW YORK – For decades, pregnant women and women who may become pregnant have been advised to take folic acid to help prevent certain birth defects.

But a new study suggests it may be possible to get too much of a good thing – very high levels of the vitamin in mothers’ blood at the time of childbirth was linked to higher risk of

their children developing autism years later.

Other research points to an opposite relationship between folic acid and autism, showing adequate amounts of the vitamin at the time of conception significantly can reduce the risk.

Indeed, some experts raised questions about the new research. They note the findings are preliminary numbers, and based on a small number of families seen at only one hospital.

Also, the analysis is based on mea-

sures of the vitamin in mothers’ blood at the time of delivery, which may not reveal much about what was going on in the women’s body at the time of early fetal brain development.

Even the researchers themselves said there’s no cause to change current public health recommendations.

“We are not suggesting anyone stop supplementation,” said one of the researchers, M. Daniele Fallin of Johns Hopkins University’s school of public health.

But it raises an intriguing question that should be explored in other research, Fallin said. Two outside experts agreed.

“It’s a finding that has plausibility,” said Dr. Ezra Susser, a Columbia University professor of epidemiology and psychiatry. He said other researchers have wondered whether too much folic acid can cause problems.

The findings were presented Wednesday at an autism research conference in Baltimore.

Report: Genetically altered food safe but not curing hunger

By SETH BORENSTEIN WASHINGTON – Genetically manipulated food remains generally safe for humans and the environment, a high-powered science advisory board declared in a report Tuesday.

The National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine concluded tinkering with the genetics of what we eat doesn’t produce the “Frankenfood” monster some opponents claim – but it isn’t feeding the world with substantially increased

That stance was praised by some environmental and consumer groups, but criticized by some scientists as unnecessary because the food poses no unique risks.

Most of the modified plants are soybean, cotton, corn and canola; in most cases, genetic tinkering has made them resistant to certain herbicides and insects. When farms switched from conventional crops to the engineered varieties, there was no

yields, as proponents promised.

With the line between engineered and natural foods blurring thanks to newer techniques such as gene editing, the 408-page report said, regulators need to make their safety focus more on the end-product of the food that’s made rather than the nuts and bolts of how it’s made.

The report waltzed a bit around the hot political issue of whether genetically modified food should be labeled. The study’s authors said labels aren’t needed for food safety reasons but potentially could be

Zika virus studies provide more data Dear Dr. K: In a recent column, you said doctors still were conducting research to see if the Zika virus does, as feared, cause birth defects – particularly, babies born with small heads and brains. Has there been any new information on that?

Dear Reader: There has, and it’s important. The new information was summarized in articles in the New England Journal of Medicine in April.

First, a brief refresher. Zika virus is carried by a particular kind of mosquito known as the Aedes mosquito. When it bites a person, the virus can enter the person’s body. Most people who catch the Zika virus have only mild and temporary symptoms. However, early evidence indicated birth defects might occur in the fetuses of some pregnant women who were infected in the first four to five months of pregnancy.

The most dramatic such birth defect in babies was very small heads and brains, called “microcephaly.” Microcephaly is rare, and can be caused by other viral infections, including rubella (“German measles”).

The Zika virus has lived in Africa and Asia for 70 years. Last year, it moved to South America, and has been spreading north, into the Caribbean, and toward Mexico, the United States and Canada.

Will it reach the U.S. and Canada? No one can predict the future, but we know the mosquito that carries the virus already is present in about 30 states of the U.S. The World Health Organization and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced in early April it is likely the Zika virus is a cause of microcephaly. New studies have led them to this conclusion. Let’s look at those studies, and the reason they have

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff convinced some skeptics: • Microcephaly has occurred outside of Brazil. Even though the Zika virus has existed in other countries for decades, no link to microcephaly had been previously seen until it was reported in Brazil in 2015. However, many of the countries where the virus has lived have very poor or non-existent public health systems for recognizing and reporting birth defects.

Now scientists report a surge in microcephaly also occurred in French Polynesia after a Zika outbreak in 2013-14. It also has occurred in some U.S. women who traveled briefly to South America.

• Fetal ultrasound study found defects.

In a relatively small study in Brazil, ultrasound studies of the fetus revealed brain birth defects in 29 percent of women with a rash caused by Zika virus infection, but in none (0 percent) of a group of women with a rash not due to Zika virus infection.

• Zika virus can infect the brain. New studies find the virus can infect the brain of various animals, and human brain cells in a laboratory dish. Thus, it is plausible the virus could cause brain disorders.

In tomorrow’s column, I’ll discuss what all this means, and what we all need to think about, as the virus appears to be heading in our direction.

I’ve heard your dessert recipes are unmatchable, and I’d like to have them.

Some time ago, I saw a column that mentioned cookbooklets you have available to buy. I hope this is still correct, because I’m interested in ordering them.

By the way, what is your favorite dessert recipe, Abby? – Anita In Saddle Brook, New Jersey Dear Anita: That’s a hard question to answer because I have a notorious sweet tooth. The coconut cake with custard frosting, chocolate cake with fluffy white frosting (and chocolate drippings), cheesecake, pecan pie, chocolate mousse and – believe it or not – the fruitcake recipe, which is filled with nuts but not “cakey,” all are favorites of mine. I also have served the almond coffeecake, peanut butter pie and sweet potato pie to friends while entertaining, and received the ultimate compliment – a request for “just a little more.”

All of the recipes in my two cookbooklets have been used again and again. Some of them have won blue ribbons at county fairs; others have been featured on the covers of women’s magazines. The booklets still are available and can be ordered by sending your name and mailing address, plus check or money order for $14 (U.S. funds) to: Dear Abby – Cookbooklet Set, P.O. Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. My cookbooklet set contains more than 100 tasty recipes, including soups, salads, appetizers and, of course, main courses. I know you will enjoy them all because my family and dinner guests – as well as other readers – have raved about them.

Dear Abby: My best friend, “Donna,” and I are former co-workers. She divorced recently but has hooked up – and is shacking up – with a co-worker of mine, “James.” James and I work on the same shift every weekend. Ugh. James invited a woman to the job for a lunch date. Should I say something to Donna? I’m not a fan of his because he seemed sneaky before the “lunch date.” Donna says she’s happy. We limit our conversation about him because I hate to badmouth him knowing how she feels about him. But I’m bothered knowing he didn’t care enough to not let on to me about his infidelity.

It’s as if he wants me to bring the bad news. I haven’t, but I need to know how to proceed.

My husband says I should mind my own business to keep work stress-free. What is your advice? – Hates Workplace Drama Dear H.W.D.: For now, I’m voting with your husband. One lunch date is not an affair, and you don’t know what James’ relationship with the woman might be. It could be innocent, so give him the benefit of the doubt.

However, if he continues to bring her around, I can see how you might want to ask Donna who the woman is. That’s not bringing bad news; it’s an innocent question.

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

KNEE PAIN?

NEW FDA APPROVED TREATMENT PROVEN TO RELIEVE KNEE PAIN

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

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

WHAT IS OSTEOARTHRITIS (OA)?

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?

KNEE JOINT WITH ARTHIRITIS

Petersen and Stephanie Scrima.

They will face each other at 5:30 p.m. Friday at Cary-Grove for the regional title.

The Gators, who won the FVC Valley title with an undefeated conference record, won the teams’ first meeting, 2-1, April 26.

“I’m excited. I think the whole team

is,” C-G’s Emond said. “I think we’re all pumped, because we lost to them last game, so I think we’re all pumped to play them again and play our game.”

The Gators had only played twice over the past two weeks but turned the intensity on quickly.

“It’s been a while since the conference season ended, and we only had one game each week, so it’s been a lot of practice and not much competition, but it looked like they were ready to go today,” Gators coach Jay Mueller said.

The Gators scored within the first eight minutes when Sengstock got behind the defense, touched the ball around an on-rushing keeper and put it away.

“I thought we were communicating well in the beginning and connecting

our passes a lot,” Sengstock said. “I think we realized that their defenders were pushing up really high, so we had, Jenna and Jess, had through balls in behind.”

The Gators led 2-0 at half but it could have been more if not for nine first-half saves from Grant goalkeeper Alexis Werve, who finished with 16 saves on the match.

“It’s definitely a big weight off our shoulders, just got to prepare for Friday then,” Schoenfeldt said.

For C-G, Krystal preached building chemistry throughout the year and playing their best in the postseason. He and his players agreed that Tuesday’s win showed some of those efforts. The Trojans scored five times in the first half, three within a six-minute stretch, to take control of the contest.

“Especially as the year’s gone on, we’ve gotten a lot closer, and I think this game showed a lot of it,” Emond said. “Our connecting has progressed so much over the year. ...

“We’ve just learned each other so well that we know who’s going where so that now that we’ve gotten in it we know where to play the ball, the chemistry is really important for us.”

GIRLS SOCCER: CLASS 2A HAMPSHIRE REGIONAL

R-B upsets Belvidere; Whips push Freeport

By CHRIS CASEY ccasey@shawmedia.com HAMPSHIRE – There were parts of Tuesday’s Class 2A Hampshire Regional semifinal that were familiar, but there also was a scenario that the Richmond-Burton girls soccer team had yet to face in its program history.

As the Rockets took the field against Belvidere, it was the program’s first Class 2A postseason game.

There were noticeable jitters early, but once Anna Blaney’s strike opened the scoring for sixth-seeded R-B, things settled down. Blaney’s goal gave the Rockets an early lead that they did not relinquish in a 2-0 victory over third-seeded Belvidere.

R-B (12-11) advance to play second-seeded Freeport at 5 p.m. Friday in the regional championship.

“All we knew coming in were that these schools were bigger than us and that we’re the underdog,” R-B coach Casey DeCaluwe said. “The fact that we came out here and scored first, in the first 15 minutes, really gave us that be-

Scoreboard Tuesday’s semifinals Freeport 2, Hampshire 0 (OT) Richmond-Burton 2, Belvidere 0 Friday’s championship (2) Freeport vs. (6) Richmond-Burton, 5 p.m. lief that we were in a game we could handle. It also allowed us to be much more dynamic than we have been for most of the season.”

The confidence after Blaney’s goal – a left-footed shot off an assist from Camryn Davis in the 12th minute – was evident.

The Rockets connected more passes, and communication was much more clear.

Blaney said the Rockets expect a different road being in a Class 2A bracket this season, but having the experience of a visit to a 1A supersectional last season is definitely something to build off for the postseason run this time around.

“Our intensity shot up immediately after the first goal,” Blaney said. “Obviously, being in a 2A bracket is difficult,

but I feel like we showed we belong here.

Everything kind of clicked after that point. Belvidere definitely proved that this road isn’t going to be easy, but if we take things one game at a time, I think we have the confidence to play with anyone.”

As if getting the opening goal wasn’t enough, Meghan Vasseur doubled the R-B lead on a breakaway goal, off a long ball from Taylor Enders, with just over 15 minutes remaining after a strong Belvidere surge to begin the second half.

It was all a matter of doing whatever they could to keep the ball of out their own net for the Rockets and goalkeeper Lindsy Restis.

“It was really a team win tonight,” said the sophomore Restis, who made seven saves. “Everyone contributed, and not that we don’t always try and play as a team, but tonight it really showed.”

Freeport 2, Hampshire 0 (OT): In the first semifinal, host Hampshire did everything it could to keep Freeport off the scoreboard.

If someone had told Whip-Purs coach Sara O’Toole that her team would have

allowed zero goals after 80 minutes of play against the regional’s top seed, she would have taken it 99 times of out 100.

Unfortunately, Tuesday’s match was that one time.

The match went scoreless through 80 minutes, requiring two 10-minute overtime periods in which the Pretzels took full advantage. Freeport sophomore Cassidy Grunewald scored once in each extra period – the first coming 28 seconds into overtime – to find a way past a Hampshire defense that was finally broken after doing everything it could.

Senior defender Alexa Panagakos was one of the many Hampshire players who took her game to another level, knowing that a loss Tuesday meant her last high school game.

“This is seriously the best we have done all season,” Panagakos said. “This team has come so far from the beginning to the end and I’m so proud of how we came out and played with a really good team.”

Freeport (11-7-1) had 12 shots on target against Hampshire (4-16) and goalkeeper Catie Kochanski (10 saves).

• Wednesday, May 18, 2016

CARY – Crystal Lake South and Cary-Grove didn’t show any signs of looking past their regional semifinals Tuesday, winning in identically dominant fashion, but as soon as they were done, neither hid the fact that a postseason rematch with their conference rival was an exciting proposition.

“It’s a rival that we know, year after year we’re going to see each other in district, in conference,” Cary-Grove coach Ray Krystal said. “It’s just showing up and having, hopefully, another classic battle. That’s what they’ve been most times throughout the years.”

The Trojans and the Gators each won, 7-0, on Tuesday in Class 3A CaryGrove Regional semifinals.

South (14-5-1) got three goals from Katherine Siavelis, two from Courtney Sengstock and one apiece from Emily Warren and Jess Schoenfeldt to beat Grant in the first semifinal.

In the second semifinal, the Trojans (9-5-1) beat Round Lake behind two goals from Payton Emond and one each from Alexandra Airhart, Meghan Gaffaney, Genna Sobieszczyk, Carli

The hit also knocked out Marian ing pitches in recent games, especially

against Crystal Lake South and Prairie Ridge, but Monday he sent a curveball over the fence against Grayslake North.

On Tuesday, he was expecting to see more off-speed pitches.

“Since I’ve seen it so much the past couple of weeks, it’s just gotten me in the mode and mindset to read fastball, and adjust curve,” said Berg, who made a defensive switch from third to shortstop this year. “I was just too anxious, but now I’m seeing them.”

The most dramatic at-bat of the second came when Hurricanes left-handed pitcher Brett Seegers entered the game for Rominski. The first batter he faced was his cousin, Blake Seegers.

Blake Seegers came through with a line drive, RBI single that deflected off the shortstop’s glove and into left field, scoring Luke Tevyaw and giving the Tigers (16-13) a 4-1 lead.

“It was for bragging rights,” said Blake Seegers, who popped out against Brett in the fifth. “He said he was going to ask his coach if he can pitch against me, so it just worked out that way ... I

don’t know if that was planned, but I was laughing. I was smiling over there.”

Anthony Novy started and picked up the win for the Tigers, who have won seven of nine overall, including wins against Prairie Ridge and Jacobs. Novy, who gave up two earned runs on three hits with one strikeout, got out of a bases-loaded jam into the fourth.

Marian Central (6-23) got RBIs from Zach Teegen and Elias Edmondson, but didn’t execute a squeeze play, resulting in the second out at home. The Tigers led, 4-3, and tacked on seven runs in the fifth and sixth.

“We got a little too loose and lost our focus a little bit,” Tigers coach Tom Mueller said. “To their credit, they were able to center themselves and take care of business. We feel good the way we’re playing right now.”

Anthony Mann was 2 for 2 and drove in four for the Tigers, and Anthony Amadio had a double, two runs and one RBI. Colin Rebenstorf had a double and drove in one for Marian.

WOODSTOCK GIRLS TRACK AND FIELD

Freshman had state’s 4th-fastest Class 2A sectional time in 300-meter hurdles

By JOE STEVENSON joestevenson@shawmedia.com

Steve Erwin Woodstock girls track and field coach, on Syd Heidtke for, knocking off time in each big meet.

The possibilities seemed limitless, until her left foot cracked against the hurdle a few days ago at Larry Dale Field.

“It was a little heartbreaking at first to find out,” said Heidtke, the McHenry County and Fox Valley Conference Meet champion in the 300 hurdles. “I

loved the season, track’s been really fun for me. It’s been competitive, but I find it so enjoyable.”

Heidtke ran a 47.7 to win the 300 hurdles at the county meet. Two weeks later, she ran 46.63 to win the FVC. Then she ran 45.49 at last week’s Antioch Sectional, second to Vernon Hills’ Jordyn Bunning, but the fourth-fastest time out of all the state’s 2A sectionals.

“She has had a great season,” Blue Streaks coach Steve Erwin said. “It’s sickening. I feel for her. The good thing is she’s still a freshman, but she doesn’t see it that way yet.”

With each race, Erwin and his coaching staff raised expectations.

“It’s been really fun to watch that improvement,” Erwin said. “After county, we were thinking, ‘Where does that line up in the last couple years?’

It was close to qualifying for finals. At conference she took more time off of it and last week she blew that away.

Some years that (time) would have medaled real high.”

Heidtke will have surgery May 25, then six weeks in a cast, then six weeks of physical therapy, which will run into the start of the cross country season. She hopes, even with a late start, to run cross country with the Streaks.

Heidtke said she uses different starts in the 100 high hurdles (left foot forward) and 300s (right foot forward).

She used the 100s start and her strides were off, leading to her hitting the hurdle with her trail leg.

“It’s just awful,” said Erwin, who is in his 32nd year as coach. “I’ve never had anybody qualify for state and not be able to run.”

Odor suspended 8 games, Bautista 1 for brawl

By IAN HARRISON The Associated Press TORONTO – Texas second baseman Rougned Odor was suspended for eight games and fined $5,000 by Major League Baseball on Tuesday for punching Toronto’s Jose Bautista on the jaw.

Major League Baseball disciplined 14 players and staff for their roles during Sunday’s brawl at Arlington, Texas.

“I knew I was going to be suspended,” Odor said before Texas’ game at Oakland. “I have to follow the rules, and I’m just waiting for the appeal.

I want to be with my team all year. I don’t want to be out eight games.”

The Texas Rangers’ Rougned Odor (right) punches the Toronto Blue Jays’ Jose Bautista after Bautista slid into second in the eighth inning Sunday at Globe Life Park in Arlington, Texas. innings earlier, was penalized three games for inciting additional fighting.

Bautista, who made a hard takeout slide at second base on Odor, was suspended for one game by MLB senior vice president Joe Garagiola Jr. for his actions and postgame comments.

Rangers shortstop Elvis Andrus was suspended for one game for aggressive actions and Blue Jays first base coach Tim Leiper for one game for returning to the dugout after his ejection.

“The rules are fair for punishment,” Rangers manager Jeff Banister said. “They are in place for a reason.

We’ll live by them and move on.”

Odor, Bautista and Chavez appealed their discipline, which will be held in abeyance pending a resolution.

Andrus was to serve his penalty Tuesday at Oakland.

The amount of Odor’s fine was disclosed by a person familiar with the discipline who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the figure was not announced.

Texas pitchers Matt Bush (intentionally throwing at Bautista), Sam Dyson (aggressive actions) and A.J. Griffin (being on the field while on the disabled list) were fined along with

catcher Robinson Chirinos (being on the field while on the DL) and bench coach Steve Buechele (aggressive actions).

“I wish I struck out (Kevin) Pillar and (had) not given up a run,” said Bush, who made his big league debut last week. “Other than that, I think I handled the situation very well. I’m having fun.”

Toronto third baseman Josh Donaldson, the reigning AL MVP, was fined for aggressive actions along with outfielder Kevin Pillar. Bench coach DeMarlo Hale, who was acting manager after Gibbons’ ejection, was fined for Chavez’s intentional actions after teams had been warned by umpires.

Hale will manage the Blue Jays while Gibbons serves his suspension, beginning with Tuesday night’s game against Tampa Bay. Assistant hitting coach Eric Owens coached first base Tuesday in Leiper’s place.

Nathan, who has pitched in six postseasons, already has thrown four bullpen sessions on his rehab progression, with another scheduled for Wednesday. He heads to Mesa, Arizona, Friday to continue his work with Cubs staff.

“The body feels great all the way around,” said Nathan, whose conditioning regimen is still remembered by young teammates who were routinely outrun in spring training drills by a 38-year-old Nathan as recently as 2013 with the Texas Rangers.

If the next two months of his rehab stay on the pace of his first 13, Nathan could be a low-risk, low-cost impact acquisition in the second half for a team with World Series aspirations.

Cubs almost no-hit, drop series opener

By GORDON WITTENMYER gwittenmyer@suntimes.com MILWAUKEE – Quick, somebody get this road trip to San Francisco and St. Louis before the Cubs lose their early mojo.

The team with the best record in baseball stubbed another toe against another door-jamb team Tuesday, almost getting no-hit in a 4-2 loss to open a three-game series against the Milwaukee Brewers.

It was just the kind of thing manager Joe Maddon was talking about before the game when he expressed his greater fear of also-rans than big-shot contenders.

“Teams that are struggling a bit, they’re the teams that worry me even more,” he said, “because when you’re playing a better team, then that’s going to bring out the best in them, also.”

Case in point: Chase Anderson.

The 28-year-old right-hander making his first career start against the Cubs retired the first 16 he faced. And after he walked Miguel Montero in the sixth to spoil the perfect-game bid, he carried the no-hitter into the eighth before Ben Zobrist led off the inning with a double to the center field wall.

Anderson came within an out of fin-

games against losing teams – with a series win against contender Pittsburgh between those series against the San DiChicago Milwaukee

“I just want to be a piece of the puzzle for the Cubs,” said Nathan, who put the Cubs at the top of his wish list among several interested teams early in the process. “I’m on board with whatever they need. I know how good this club is.”

Nathan said one more shot at a World Series ring and a fierce love for the game drove his willingness to go through the grueling process for the second time in his career, in his 40s.

It’s some of the “tedious” moments during the long process that test that desire most he said.

“That’s when you say, `Is this what I really want to do? Is it worth it?’ “ he said. “I knew it was always worth it.

“But I get this is a long shot. The work’s not done. I’m just starting now.

Jacobs grad Bret Mooney will transfer from Colgate football Former Jacobs quarterback Bret Mooney has left Colgate and is looking for another school at which to play football.

Mooney, the 2013 Northwest Herald Player of the Year, has two years of eligibility remaining and would have to sit out a year if he transfers to another NCAA Division I school, whether it is a Football Bowl Subdivision or Football Championship Subdivision school. If he transferred to a lower level, Mooney could play right away.

Mooney was released from his scholarship at Colgate and attended Harper College in Palatine this spring. He is in the process of looking for schools and considering options. If he attends another D-I school and has to redshirt, he would have to pay his own tuition that year and might continue paying unless he worked his way to a starting or backup position.

Mooney completed 144 of 243 passes for 1,877 yards and 17 touchdowns as a senior, leading the Golden Eagles to their only Fox Valley Conference Valley Division title. He was an Illinois High School Football Coaches Association Class 7A All-Stater after the Eagles went 8-2.

MILWAUKEE – What do you get the team that has everything?

The Cubs showed Tuesday one of the ways they plan to strengthen a team with the best record in the majors, by signing a rehabbing former All-Star closer to a low-risk deal for second-half bullpen depth.

“I’m super pumped,” said Joe Nathan, a six-time All-Star, who at 41 is 13 months into his second Tommy John surgery rehabilitation. He was immediately placed on the 60-day disabled list.

“I was hoping everything would unfold this way,” he said. “The ballclub is obviously where they are, and is such a fun club. They’re looking for somebody to come in the second half. That will give me ample time; I think I could be ready before, but to have the extra time never hurts.”

Nathan’s signing to a big-league contract for the prorated league minimum (plus performance bonuses) underscores the kind of strategy team

president Theo Epstein suggested last week when he talked about ignoring the Cubs’ five-week start and preparing for inevitable adversity and needs.

“It’s always a good strategy,” said manager Joe Maddon, who said a few days earlier that if he could choose something to add to the roster it would be pitching. “You can never have enough Joe Nathan pitching depth.

“I think it’s a great move, and hopefully he’s going to be well.”

Left unsaid was the fact the Cubs’ biggest position-area weakness is, like most other teams, specifically the bullpen.

A group that looked good the first month of the season, with few stressful innings, was up and down during the 10-game homestand, producing a 5.59 ERA (29 innings) under a heavier workload and more high-leverage conditions.

Rodon’s solid start wasted in loss

By MATT CARLSON The Associated Press

CHICAGO – Evan Gattis celebrated his return to the majors with a tworun homer in the 11th inning that lifted the Houston Astros over the White Sox, 6-5, Tuesday night.

Astros rookie Tyler White hit a pair of solo shots for his first multihomer game and capped a three-hit night with a double. Jason Castro and Jose Altuve each drove in a run for Houston.

Gattis, recalled from Double-A Corpus Christi earlier in the day, lined an 0-2 pitch from reliever Matt Albers (1-3) into the left-field bullpen for his second homer this season.

Pat Neshek (1-0) pitched a scoreless inning for the win. Tony Sipp allowed Adam Eaton’s RBI double in the 11th before earning his first save.

Tyler Saladino’s sacrifice fly in the bottom of the ninth tied it at 4 as Houston closer Luke Gregerson blew his second straight save chance and third in 11 opportunities this season.

The Houston Astros’ Evan Gattis (right) and George Springer celebrate after scoring on Gattis’ two-run home run off White Sox relief pitcher Matt Albers in the 11th inning Tuesday at U.S. Cellular Field. against 2015 AL Cy Young Award winner Dallas Keuchel, who hasn’t won since April 15. The Sox have lost three straight and five of six.

Keuchel allowed three runs on six hits and three walks in 6 1/3 innings.

The left-hander has lost four straight decisions over six starts since his last victory, when he pitched eight innings of shutout ball against Detroit and

yielded five hits in a 1-0 win.

Keuchel showed flashes of his Cy Young form in this one, retiring the first 11 White Sox hitters on 45 pitches before Abreu lined his homer to center field in the fourth to cut Houston’s lead to 2-1.

Sox starter Carlos Rodon was solid through six innings, giving up three runs – two earned – and six hits while striking out seven. He has only one win this season, on April 13 at Minnesota, and is 0-3 in six starts since.

Houston took a 1-0 lead in the second on an unearned run, driven in by Castro’s single.

White’s first homer, on a full count with two outs in the fourth, landed in the first row of the left-field bleachers and made it 2-0.

The Sox took a 3-2 lead with two outs in the fifth on back-to-back doubles by Dioner Navarro and Saladino, followed by Eaton’s single. But White’s second homer, once again into the first row, tied it at 3 in the sixth.

Altuve drove in pinch-runner Tony Kemp, making his major league debut, with a sacrifice fly in the eighth to put Houston ahead, 4-3.

BETTER DEAL

Although the Sox are in first place in the AL Central, general manager Rick Hahn said before the game he plans on being “aggressive” to improve a roster that has been surprisingly good. “We’re prepared to make a big move today if it presents itself,” Hahn said. “Unfortunately, our timing might not align up with the other 29 clubs just yet.”

who leads the Sox with 12 homers, didn’t start and wasn’t in the clubhouse before the game because of the flu. He was in the on-deck circle as a potential pinch-hitter in the ninth. ... Right-hander Nate Jones left in the seventh with a bruised left foot after being hit by Carlos Correa’s comebacker. He is day to day.

Astros: Outfielder Carlos Gomez was placed on the 15-day disabled list. Gomez had a rib injury and was shaken up diving back hard into second on an attempted pickoff Sunday in a 10-9 loss at Boston. ... Gattis started as the DH and batted fourth. ... Right-hander Asher Wojciechowski was designated for assignment.

LONDON – In a major doping crackdown stretching back eight years, 31 athletes in six sports could be barred from competing in the Olympics after they were caught in retesting of drug samples from the 2008 Beijing Games, and other positive cases could emerge from the 2012 London Games.

The International Olympic Committee opened disciplinary proceedings Tuesday against the 31 unidentified athletes from 12 countries who competed in Beijing and were planning to take part in the Rio de Janeiro Games in August.

“This is a powerful strike against the cheats,” IOC President Thomas Bach said. “They show once again that dopers have no place to hide.”

The IOC said it also planned to reanalyze drug tests from the 2014 Sochi Winter Games after allegations samples were tampered with as part of a state-sponsored Russian doping program.

The positive cases from Beijing emerged from the recent retesting of 454 doping samples with “the very latest scientific analysis methods,” the IOC said.

The Olympic body stores samples for 10 years to allow for retesting with improved techniques, with athletes caught facing retroactive disqualification and loss of any medals.

The IOC said it could not immediately identify the athletes caught in the Beijing retests for legal reasons, saying it would inform the relevant national Olympic committees in the coming days.

“All those athletes infringing anti-doping rules will be banned from competing at the Olympic Games” in Rio, the IOC said after a teleconference meeting of its policymaking executive board.

Results of retesting of 250 samples from the London Olympics will be announced shortly, the IOC said. Those tests also were aimed at athletes planning to compete in Rio.

SPORTS BRIEFS ‘Miracle on Ice’ goaltender Craig selling gold medal, more

Braves fire manager Fredi Gonzalez with majors’ worst record

NEW YORK – The 1980 U.S. Olympic hockey team’s victory over the Soviet Union is forever remembered as the “Miracle on Ice.” Now, the goaltender of that gold medal-winning team, Jim Craig, is parting with his most prized items from one of the greatest sporting moments of the 20th century.

Estimated to bring between $5 million and $7 million, the 17 items are being offered through the online auction house Lelands. com.

The sale went live Tuesday and ends June 17.

Items include Craig’s gold medal, with a pre-sale estimate of $1.5 million to $2 million.

Other highlights are the jersey he wore during the Soviet game, and the American flag that was draped over his shoulders after the team’s victory at Lake Placid.

Both carry estimates of $1 million to $1.5 million.

The items are being sold individually after Lelands was unable to sell the entire collection last year.

PITTSBURGH – As the losses piled up one after another, the burden of unmet expectations – no matter how modest – weighed on Fredi Gonzalez.

Saddled with the worst record in the majors and a rebuilding project whose timetable will be measured in years, the Atlanta Braves finally relieved the pressure on their embattled manager Tuesday, firing Gonzalez and replacing him with Brian Snitker in hopes of trying to salvage something out of an already forgettable 2016.

Alabama offensive lineman Robinson, teammate arrested MONROE, La. – Alabama offensive lineman Cam Robinson and reserve defensive back Laurence “Hootie” Jones have been released from jail after their arrest on drug and weapons charges.

Ouachita Parish Sheriff’s records show Robinson and Jones were cited Tuesday for the misdemeanor charge of carrying a weapon in the presence of narcotics. Robinson also faces a charge of felony possession of stolen firearms.

Robinson and Jones were released on bond Tuesday morning, said Glenn Springfield, a spokesman for the Ouachita Parish Sheriff’s Office. He said he didn’t know the amounts.

Gun Runner skips Preakness, leaving likely field of 11 BALTIMORE – Gun Runner, third-place finisher in the Kentucky Derby, will skip the Preakness, leaving a likely field of 11 for the middle leg of the Triple Crown on Saturday at Pimlico.

Preakness post positions will be drawn Wednesday evening.

Trainer Steve Asmussen said Gun Runner, the Louisiana Derby winner, would remain at Churchill Downs.

“We plan on a serious summer of 3-yearold races with him,” Asmussen said. “He’s been in tremendous physical condition going into the Derby, and coming out of it, and we expect for him to continue to physically develop.”

Gun Runner figured to be the third choice in the Preakness wagering. His absence tightens the focus on Nyquist and Exaggerator, the top two finishers in the Derby who square off again in the Preakness.

Nyquist, 8 for 8 after the 1¼-length Derby victory, looms a short-priced favorite in the Preakness.

ST. LOUIS – Brent Burns scored San Jose’s first two power-play goals of the Western Conference finals, and Martin Jones stopped 26 shots for his second shutout of the postseason as the Sharks beat the St. Louis Blues, 4-0, Tuesday night to even the series at a game apiece.

Tommy Wingels and Dainius Zubrus also scored and Logan Couture had two assists to help the Sharks bounce back from a tight loss in the opener.

Game 3 is Thursday night in San Jose.

Brian Elliott made 20 saves for St. Louis, which is 4-5 at home and 5-2 on the road in the postseason. Elliott wasn’t as sharp as he’s been throughout the Blues’ run to their first conference final since 2001.

Burns’ fifth and sixth goals of the postseason both came on one-timers with Troy Brouwer in the penalty box,

FIELD OF HONOR

No magic; Bulls to pick 14th That magic from ’08 when the Bulls overcame a 1.7 percent chance to win the No. 1 pick and select Derrick Rose? Long over.

Coincidentally, like they were back in the Rose draft, the Bulls again will be heavily leaning toward snagging a point guard.

“The draft’s always been big to us,” general manager Gar Forman said. “I think there’s Gar Forman opportunities in this draft. You hear people say it’s maybe not as strong of a draft. To us, there’s always opportunities to us in a draft. We feel where we’ll be picking, we’ll have an opportunity to get a very good player. That’ll be one piece.”

Maybe.

Landing draft talent hasn’t exactly been a strength of Forman’s lately.

Since selecting Jimmy Butler with the last pick of the first round in the 2011 draft, Forman has landed the likes of Marquis Teague, Tony Snell, Doug McDermott and Bobby Portis. Teague was a complete bust, while Snell is slowly leaning in that direction.

By JOE COWLEY jcowley@suntimes.com John Paxson is demanding change.

The Bulls VP of basketball operations made that very clear on the final night of what was an immensely disappointing regular season, using that mid-April evening to all but call his collection of players soft.

“We need to make some changes,” Paxson said. “To me, in my mind, the biggest disappointment was this team lacked a collective fight to them. And I’ve never been around a good group of players or team that didn’t fight together. That’s just the truth.”

That change started Tuesday night.

Thanks to a weighted scrambling of ping-pong balls, the Bulls made their return to the NBA Draft Lottery for the first time since 2008, landing the No. 14 pick for the upcoming June 23 draft.

In other words, the worst-case scenario for the 42-40 team.

Not that it was much of a surprise, as the Bulls only had an 0.5 percent chance of landing the top pick, as well as just a 1.8 percent chance to move into the top three.

McDermott proved to be a solid rotation player, but came at the cost of two first-round draft picks to acquire, while the jury is still out on what Portis can become.

Your move, Gar. As far as what’s on Forman’s radar at that point guard spot, there’s talent in the cupboard. Kris Dunn would be an ideal fit for what Fred Hoiberg wants from his point guard, but won’t likely make it out of the top five. That leaves the likes of Tyler Ulis and Dejounte Murray.

The wild card in all of this, however? How much change do the Bulls want exactly? Butler’s name will continue to float out there in trade rumors, with Boston a strong suitor.

Then there’s what’s going on in Minnesota. The Timberwolves and new coach Tom Thibodeau could be a perfect destination for Butler, with the Bulls getting the No. 5 pick overall and maybe the likes of Ricky Rubio, who also would be the perfect drive-and-kick point guard for Hoiberg.

“We’ve got to take a look at everything,” Forman said. “We’ve got to explore all options.”

Cavs rout Raptors to start series

By TOM WITHERS The Associated Press

CLEVELAND – Still unbeaten, still undeniable. The Cavaliers are rolling through the East with ease.

LeBron James hardly missed and scored 24 points in three quarters, Kyrie Irving scored 27 and Cleveland picked up where it left off before a long layoff by thumping the Toronto Raptors, 115-84, in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals Tuesday night.

James made his first nine shots – one an arena-rattling powerhouse dunk – and the Cavs, healthy and hungry after losing in the Finals a year ago, shot 67 percent from the field in the first half while improving to 9-0 this postseason. Cleveland is the first team to start the playoffs with nine straight wins since San Antonio reeled off 10 in a row in 2012.

ON THE COVER Dried beans cooked from scratch. Find the recipe on page 3. AP photo Traditional Romanian food gets boost from EU

Traditional foods enjoyed by generations of Romanians – including Transylvanian cheese, plum jam and succulent salami, a favorite of the son of late Communist leader Nicolae Ceausescu – are getting an unexpected boost thanks to the European Union.

Last month, the EU officially recognized Ibanesti white cow’s cheese, a feta-style cheese produced by farmers in the pastures in northwest Transylvania. Earlier that month, Sibiu salami, the local king of the smoked sausages, also was recognized.

The specially cured sausage first was produced in Transylvania during the 19th century and was prized as an expensive delicacy in the late days of communism as food began to be rationed. Harder in texture than other salamis, it was first made in 1845 and commercially produced by Italian Filippo Dozzi in 1910 in the mountain resort of Sinaia, where it still is made today.

I’m thinking of making cream puffs for the first time. Do you have any reliable pate a choux and pastry cream suggestions? Should I plan on needing to fold whipped cream into the pastry cream, or should I pipe it as is (re-stirred) into the puffs?

Here are few cream puff tips for you: • After you’ve brought the milk, water, salt, sugar and butter to a boil, add the flour, stir like crazy and then don’t stop – you should cook the flour for another full minute or two.

Look for a film on the bottom of the pot. This step is crucial to a good cream puff: You need to dry out the mixture and cook the flour, so stir energetically and for longer than you think it needs.

• Make sure you beat well after each egg goes into the dough.

• Make a decision: Either bake the cream puffs as soon as they’re shaped, or shape them and freeze them. Freezing them unbaked is so much better than baking and keeping them.

Bake them directly from the freezer.

• Bake the puffs until they have color.

• It is better to fold some whipped cream into the pastry cream, and fill the puffs as close to serving time as possible.

How do you know when the Dorie Greenspan’s Cocoa Crunch Fruit and Nut Granola (recipe on page 4) is done baking? I overcooked it a little, and although it has a slightly burned taste, it’s still edible. I baked it for close to 50 minutes. What should I look for next time? And besides adding it to yogurt or making granola bites, what else can I do with the granola?

With granola, the way to test doneness is color: When the granola is deeply golden, it’s usually done. Next time, look at the color and – a good test – pull out a spoonful, let it cool a little and taste it to see if you like it.

The cocoa granola is a little harder to test because the cocoa is dark, but now that you know 50 minutes was too long for you and your oven, bake it for 40 minutes and test then.

Granola is good on its own as a snack, it’s delicious with milk as a cereal, and it can even be sprinkled over vegetables, such as roasted squash or sweet potatoes.

When I bake an apple pie and cut a slice, a lot of liquid from the filling runs into the pie pan and pools where the missing pie slice once was. What am I doing wrong?

That is typical apple pie behavior. If you’d like, you can mix a little quick-cooking tapioca (maybe two tablespoons) into the apple mixture before baking to help thicken the juices. You also can line the bottom crust with bread crumbs or cake crumbs to sop up some of the liquid.

Master easy art of cooking dried beans from scratch offered cooking methods using both stovetop and a slow cooker. Whichever you choose, save the cooking liquid. It is delicious added to soups and stews.

By SARA MOULTON The Associated Press Until I went off to college and became a vegetarian out of financial necessity, beans really weren’t a part of my life.

But once I found myself pinching pennies while sharing a house with three other women, beans became a great and affordable source of bulk and protein. And though the initial motivation was saving money, we eventually grew to love the unique flavors and textures of beans, and I have continued to cook with them ever since.

And the best way to make beans? Starting with dried beans. Why take the time to cook dried beans when you can find a wide variety of canned available? There are several reasons.

Dried beans cooked from scratch have a more uniform texture than most canned beans (some of which tend to get mushed in the can). Also, you can control what gets added to the beans (particularly salt). And they cost much less than canned beans. A 16-ounce bag of dried beans yields about 5 or 6 cups of cooked beans, while a 15-ounce can of cooked beans yields roughly 1½ cups. Finally, homemade beans freeze beautifully, so why not make a big batch on the weekend and use it in recipes later in the week?

But there are a few things to keep in mind regarding dried beans.

Dried beans seem to last forever on the shelf, but beware: The older the bean, the longer it will take to cook. So try to buy your beans from a store that has plenty of turnover.

There has been a long debate about whether to soak beans before cooking them. The main reason for the pre-soak is to speed up the cooking time. And a pre-soak does indeed do that, by about 30 minutes. But Cook’s Illustrated magazine has uncovered an even better reason.

If you soak beans in salted water overnight, they not only absorb some of the salt (which seasons them), they also come out more tender. For years we all were told salt made beans tough, but it’s

Master Recipe for Cooking Dried Beans Start to finish: 13 to 15 hours (15 minutes active) Servings: 10

1 pound dried beans 3 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided 1 medium yellow onion, quartered 1 medium carrot, cut crosswise into 4 pieces 1 celery stalk, cut crosswise into 4 pieces 2 cloves garlic, crushed 2 sprigs fresh thyme

quite the contrary. So I recommend a pre-soak in salted water.

Acid of any kind, however – tomatoes, citrus, vinegar, wine, etc. – is the enemy. It will prevent the beans from cooking properly. If you want to add a touch of acid to your beans, add it only when the cooking is nearly done.

The basics for cooking almost all dried beans (except dried lentils and split peas, which cook so quickly you can make them from start to finish in about 20 minutes) are below. I won’t offer exact cooking times because the timing can vary widely depending on the variety and size of the beans, as well as how fresh they are. I have

Sort through the beans to pick out any random stones or sticks among them, then rinse and drain the beans.

In a large bowl or pot, dissolve 3 tablespoons of the salt in 4 quarts of water. Add the beans, stir, then cover and soak overnight at room temperature.

The next day, drain the beans and rinse them. In a large saucepan or stockpot, combine the beans with 7 cups of cold water. Stir in the remaining 2 teaspoons salt. Bring the mixture to a boil, skimming the scum that rises to the surface with a skimmer or slotted spoon (that scum is protein solids). Reduce the heat to a simmer and simmer the beans, regularly skimming the scum, until no more scum rises to the surface.

Add the onion, carrot, celery, garlic and thyme, then simmer for 30 to 60 minutes, or until the beans are just tender. Drain the beans, reserving the cooking liquid (if desired) and discard the onion, carrot, celery and thyme stalks. Use the beans in recipes or freeze them in 1- or 2-cup portions.

Slow Cooker Method: Soak the beans as described above, then drain and rinse them. In a slow cooker, combine the beans with the 2 teaspoons of salt, onion, carrot, celery, garlic and thyme. Add enough water to cover the beans by 1 inch, then cover and cook on high for 4 to 6 hours, or until completely tender.

Granola, exactly as you want it to be

By DORIE GREENSPAN The Washington Post Making granola is dead simple and ridiculously satisfying: You mix, bake, stir and then feel terrific about yourself and the pile of crunch you pull out of the oven.

It isn’t the same as hacking Oreos, ketchup or Sriracha at home. That stuff is difficult, and perfection is tough to achieve. But granola? A cinch. What you make at home not only will be as good as what you typically buy, I can guarantee it will be better. Fresher, too.

And, best of all, it will be exactly what you want. Don’t like raisins?

Skip ’em. Love cashews? Add ’em. Notice, I didn’t say it would be cheaper.

Good artisanal granola, made with excellent ingredients and no difficultto-pronounce additives, is expensive in the stores and only slightly less expensive to make at home.

Savings might not be the prime reason to go DIY, but there are others: Homemade granola is fabulously delicious, pure and bespoke; the process is easy, fun and an all-around feel-good; and the cookielike bites you also can make from the mix are both adorable and tasty. Perhaps this explains why, developing the accompanying recipe for you, I worked through what must have been a field of oats and now have six quarts of granola in my pantry.

You probably can make granola with something other than oats, but oats are the usual backbone of the mix.

Look for old-fashioned rolled oats.

Instant or quick-cooking ones won’t produce the texture that’s such a big part of why we love granola.

The real musts in granola are oats, some kind of oil and a sweetener. I’ve seen recipes without or with just a token amount of sugar, but I think it’s nice to have something sweet to play off the earthy flavors in the granola and the salt, which I consider a necessity as well.

Once you’ve got these basics, just about everything else is up to you. In the accompanying recipe, I’ve added a few fun ingredients: millet and flax for crunch; wheat germ for depth (if you’re gluten-free, just add more oats); large coconut flakes for beauty, flavor and chew; vanilla to round all the flavors; and cocoa powder for surprise.

The combo is great, but you can mix it up by adding spices, if you’d like, or omitting some of the crunches. You can even leave out the cocoa, but why would you want to?

Because I’m a big fan of dried fruit, I add it to the granola, but at the very end, so it doesn’t get baked. Again, use what you love: snipped apricots, pears,

Dorie Greenspan’s Cocoa Crunch Fruit and Nut Granola AP photo

figs, dates or apples (use scissors to cut the fruit into bite-size bits), golden or black raisins, cherries or cranberries. The key is to make sure the dried fruit is moist. Shriveled fruit is hard to eat and harder to enjoy. If yours isn’t moist, give the fruit a good soak in hot water, pat it dry and then stir it into the just-baked granola.

If you want to make my Granola Bites – granola mixed with brown rice syrup, pressed into muffin tins and baked until they’re super-crispy and puckish (think round energy bars) – spoon out the three cups of granola you’ll need to make them and add the fruit to what’s left in the bowl.

This is definitely a make-it-yourown project.

Dorie Greenspan’s Cocoa Crunch Fruit and Nut Granola 14 servings (6½ cups to 7 cups granola)

1/4 cup (packed) light brown sugar 1/4 cup honey 3 tablespoons coconut oil or olive oil 2 cups old-fashioned oats (not instant or quick-cooking) 1 cup mixed chopped nuts, such as almonds, pecans, walnuts, pistachios or hazelnuts 1/2 cup hulled, unsalted pumpkin seeds 1/2 cup hulled, unsalted sunflower seeds 2 tablespoons wheat germ (may substitute old-fashioned oats)

2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder 2 tablespoons millet (optional, but nice for crunch) 1 tablespoon flaxseed (optional) 1 teaspoon fine sea salt 1½ teaspoons pure vanilla extract 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut flakes or shredded coconut 1/2 cup moist, plump dried fruit, such as raisins, cranberries, cherries, snipped apricots, apples and/or pears Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven; preheat to 325 degrees F. Have two 9-by-13-inch Pyrex baking dishes at hand.

(If you have only metal pans, line them with parchment paper.)

Combine the brown sugar, honey and coconut oil or olive oil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, stirring, just until the sugar dissolves.

Combine the oats, nuts, pumpkin and sunflower seeds, wheat germ, cocoa powder, millet and flaxseed, if using, and the sea salt in a large mixing bowl. Pour in the warm oil mixture, add the vanilla extract and stir, preferably with a flexible spatula, until everything is evenly moistened. Scrape the mixture into the baking dishes, gently spreading it out evenly. Bake on the upper and lower racks for 20 minutes, then stir, making sure to dislodge any bits that may have stuck to the baking dishes. Rotate the baking dishes top to bottom and front to back, stir and bake for 20

minutes.

Stir once again, but this time stir in the shredded or flaked coconut. Bake for 5 minutes or until the coconut is very lightly toasted; the total baking time should be between 45 and 50 minutes. Scrape the baked granola into a big bowl, then stir in the dried fruit.

Once the granola comes to room temperature, use your hands to break up the clumps that will have formed.

Variation: To make Granola Bites, preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Use baker’s spray to generously grease the 24 wells of two standard-size muffin pans. Combine 3 cups of the baked granola (without dried fruit), 1/2 cup of brown rice syrup and 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter in a mixing bowl, stirring to coat evenly. Divide the mixture evenly among the muffin pan wells, using the bottom of a jar or glass wrapped in plastic wrap to compact the granola. Bake (middle rack) for 18 to 20 minutes, rotating the pans front to back halfway through, until the syrup, which will have bubbled, has settled down and the bites are deeply golden. Transfer the muffin pans to wire racks to cool for 5 minutes, then use a table knife to pop the bites out. Place them on racks to cool to room temperature before serving or storing.

Peanut Snack Bars (from top), Chewy Cranberry, Millet and Pistachio Bars and Banana Breakfast Bars.

Power up with 3 easy energy bars

E

By JOE YONAN The Washington Post

nergy bars, power bars, protein bars, granola bars. Whatever you call them, they’ve taken over entire aisles in supermarkets. When it comes to nutrition, some of them are little better for you than a store-bought cookie, with an ingredient list that would make a Keebler elf blanch. That’s changing, as more brands realize plenty of consumers interested in grab-and-go snacking also want something more stripped-down; one manufacturer, That’s It, is selling bars made from just two dried fruits, nothing more.

Their ubiquity might make you forget one salient fact: It’s so easy to make these things at home, where you can control the ingredients, mix and

match to your liking and store them for a week, ready for whenever you have a hankering.

Just about every whole-foodsoriented cookbook I’ve seen in the past year or so has included a bar, so I’ve been trying recipes and returning to the best ones. In the process, I’ve settled on three standbys, each of which occupies a niche and satisfies a particular craving or need.

My favorite bars are variations on a common theme: grains, nuts and/or fruit bound together with something sticky, with minimal (if any) added sweetener. The most stripped-down of the ones I’ve loved are Susanna Booth’s Peanut Snack Bars in her “Sensationally Sugar Free” (Hamlyn, 2016), which live up to the promise of the book’s title. They’re barely more than figs, nuts and seeds, with a little

peanut butter and a little flour, and they come together as easily as a foodprocessor pie dough, albeit one that you cut into bars – and don’t bake. If this is what the raw-food movement is all about, I need to leave my oven off more often.

The Chewy Cranberry, Millet and Pistachio Bars in Emma Galloway’s delightful “My Darling Lemon Thyme” (Roost Books, 2015) don’t see the heat of an oven, either. But you do quickly boil the liquid ingredients – brown rice syrup or honey, coconut oil and tahini – before pouring the combination over a bowl full of puffed millet, dried cranberries and pistachios. Puffed millet was a revelation: a health-food-store staple that turns a whole grain from something hearty into something light and crispy.

Between the millet and the tahini,

that Middle Eastern paste made from ground sesame seeds, these bars taste like an adult’s version of Rice Krispies treats.

Ella Woodward’s Banana Breakfast Bars are a little cakier, and prepared more conventionally: You mash up ripe bananas and mix them with oats, almond milk, a little cashew butter, honey and seasoning, then bake them briefly. They’re like a cross between a muffin and a granola bar, just the type of thing you’d grab for a quick morning snack. Spread with more nut butter and some jam, eat with yogurt and fruit, and you’re on your way to a meal. You’d probably want to sit down for this one, but it’ll be worth it. Even a power-bar-maker deserves to power down now and again.

10 bars

Coconut oil, for the baking dish (may substitute cooking oil spray) 2 large or 3 small very ripe bananas, sliced (about 1 cup) 2½ cups old-fashioned rolled oats Scant 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk 2 tablespoons cashew butter 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon 1 tablespoon honey 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Chewy Cranberry, Millet and Pistachio Bars 14 bars

2½ cups puffed millet (may substitute puffed rice) 1/2 cup dried cranberries 1/4 cup shelled raw, unsalted pistachios, chopped 1/2 cup brown rice syrup or 1/3 cup honey 1/2 cup tahini 3 tablespoons coconut oil 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Discard the tough stem at the top of each dried fig. Place the fruit in a food processor along with the peanut butter, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, flour, salt, sunflower oil and water; pulse long enough to create a mixture that has the texture of fine crumbs, which should hold together when firmly pressed.

Press or roll the mixture on a counter, between layers of parchment paper, to a thickness of about 1/2 inch: A rectangle about 7-by-6-inches is perfect. If there are cracks, press the dough more firmly. Cut into 12 equal slices.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Generously grease a 9-by-6-inch baking dish with the oil.

Use a fork to mash the bananas in a mixing bowl until smooth. Stir in the rolled oats, almond milk, cashew butter, cinnamon, honey, vanilla extract and salt until well incorporated.

Spoon the mixture into the baking dish, flattening and smoothing the surface. Bake for 12 to 14 minutes or until evenly firm to the touch.

Cool in the baking dish completely before cutting into 10 bars of equal size.

Grease a 7-by-11-inch baking pan with cooking oil spray, then line it with parchment paper.

Combine the millet, cranberries and pistachios in a heatproof mixing bowl, stirring to incorporate.

Combine the brown rice syrup or honey, the tahini, coconut oil and salt in a small saucepan over medium heat; once the mixture starts to bubble around the edges, start stirring to prevent sticking. Cook for 45 seconds, then remove from the heat.

Quickly stir in the vanilla extract, then pour the syrup mixture over the millet mixture.

Mix well and then transfer to the pan, pressing down evenly with the back of an oiled spoon to compact the mixture. Let cool, then cover and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours or until set before using a lightly oiled knife to cut the slab into 14 equal bars.
