Good morning, McHenry County ...

School’s out; what’s a parent to do?

In any given year, there are two days on the calendar that most kids look forward to more than any other.

Christmas Day, of course. And the last day of school before summer break.

That day came last week for hundreds of McHenry County kids, including in Woodstock.

For hundreds more, including in McHenry, Monday was that day.

Over the course of the next week or so, it will be summer vacation time for all area students. Good for them. After nine months or so of hard work, they’ve earned the break.

It also means our children suddenly have a lot more time on their hands.

For working parents, keeping kids active and physically healthy during the summer can be challenging. Thankfully, we’re fortunate to live in communities that value parks and other family-friendly outdoor venues. Take advantage of that.

CARLISLE, Iowa – The world’s first surviving septuplets graduated from their Iowa high school. Alexis, Brandon, Joel, Kelsey, Kenny, Natalie and Nathan McCaughey all crossed the stage Sunday as part of Carlisle High School’s Class of 2016. The septuplets were born Nov. 19, 1997, ranging in weight from 2 pounds, 5 ounces to 3 pounds, 4 ounces.

Their mother had taken a fertility drug. KCCI-TV in Des Moines reported that the septuplets are going on separate paths after high school, including the military and college.

The station said two of the seven plan to attend Hannibal-LaGrange University in Missouri, where their parents said they were promised a free education.

5th-graders hoped to make history with airplane launch

By ALLISON GOODRICH

agoodrich@shawmedia.com SPRING GROVE – About 60 fifth-graders yelped and clapped in excitement Monday as a large balloon carrying precious cargo rose quickly into the air.

The goal of the project, which was set behind Spring Grove Elementary School, was not only to combine lessons of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) with creativity, but also to break a Guinness World Record for the highest launch of a paper airplane.

Although the group missed the record by about 1,600 feet, the students still had a great time doing what could end up being a once-ina-lifetime project, said Paul Kaup, a pilot who has led STEM projects at Nippersink District 2 schools for about seven years.

Involved as a parent of Nippersink School District 2 and a Southwest pilot in the adopt-a-pilot program, Kaup started STEM + C, a company that facilitates such projects to help students see how everyday lessons can be used in the real world.

He added that their latex balloon likely needed just a few more seconds’ worth of helium to beat the current, 114,970-foot record. The Spring Grove Elementary project reached a maximum altitude of 113,411 feet.

“I think the kids were disappointed, but at the same time, they had a lot of fun,” Kaup said.

Monday’s event was the result of about two months’ worth of work

See AIRPLANE, page A11

‘‘

The point is to get these kids thinking about careers – to show them that the stuff they’re learning is going to be used.”

Girls on the Run event draws more than 3K

By KATIE DAHLSTROM

kdahlstrom@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – With about 150 yards to go, a 9-year-old North Elementary School student shoved her feet back into her gym shoes and started running.

She was one of more than 1,200 girls who gathered Sunday at Woodstock North High School for the ninth annual Girls on the Run of Northwest Illinois 5K, Executive Director Laurie Dayon said.

In total, more than 3,000 people participated in the 5K, the culmination of a 10week program that encourag es girls in third through eighth grade to develop self-confidence and realize their inner strength.

“You just hope these girls know they can do whatever they put their minds to,” Dayon said. “They have the power to change the world.

They don’t have Laurie Dayon, to compromise Girls on the Run of who they are to fit Northwest Illinois in, and they can be who they are executive director and love who they are.”

This year’s program drew more than 73 teams from McHenry County schools. Dayon said the nonprofit program has grown by about 100 girls since last year thanks to grants and expanded programs in pockets of the county.

Girls meet with a volunteer coach twice a week to explore topics such as making healthy choices, learning to

Junior gets perfect ACT score “There are not a lot of girls in STEM. ... I can’t wait to meet people who really love science. It’s going to be awesome to have a lot of people who are really excited and understand the implications of science.”

NORTHWEST HERALD CRYSTAL LAKE – Teresa Fisher, a junior at Crystal Lake South High School, is the fourth area student and second South student this year to get a perfect ACT score – a feat that less than one-tenth of a percent of students across the nation achieve.

Fisher said she knew she was close based on previous results.

“I have taken the ACT many times. I took my first one sophomore year. This was probably my fifth time. I kept getting a 35. I knew I could get a perfect score, given all the previous scores,” she said.

On May 13, Teresa was notified that she earned a 36 on April’s test.

“I received a letter with exactly how many students received a perfect score. It hasn’t really sunk in; my family is really excited. Now I can do other things with my Saturdays.”

The letter states that in the Class of 2015, only 1,598 out of 1.92 million who took the test earned a composite score of 36.

Teresa currently is taking several advanced placement courses. She’s also involved in several extracurricular activities including tech crew, WYSE (Worldwide Youth in Science & Engineering), math team and playing the flute in the Crystal Lake South

band.

This summer, Teresa will spend four weeks at MIT. She was admitted to the 2016 Women’s Technology Program in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. She was one of 40 young women selected from 503 applicants.

“There are not a lot of girls in STEM,” she said. “I can’t wait to be in a program for young women that promotes a nonjudgmental environment.

I can’t wait to meet people who really love science. It’s going to be awesome to have a lot of people who are really excited and understand the implications of science.”

Teresa has visited several colleges.

She’s most interested in applying to MIT and California Institute of Technology. She’s still undecided on a major, but wants to study science. The program at MIT this summer will ex-

pose her to several fields.

“It’s part of developing a well-rounded discipline before deciding what I want to go into. I’m trying all of them before I have to choose to specialize in college.”

Fisher is the second student at Crystal Lake South recently to score a perfect score on the ACT. Jacob Anderson, currently a senior, obtained a perfect score earlier this year.

“This is a rare accomplishment, and it is impressive to have two students at Crystal Lake South, in the same year, achieve a perfect score. It is truly a testament to our students’ dedication and self-confidence,” School District 155 Superintendent Johnnie Thomas said.

Home-schooled student Cody Brock, also of Crystal Lake, and a Jacobs High School senior were other area students who received a perfect 36 ACT score.

WONDER LAKE

Man agrees to let conviction stand Jury found him guilty of sexual assault of young family member

By JORDYN REILAND

jreiland@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – A former Wonder Lake man convicted of sexually assaulting a young family member has agreed to let the conviction stand.

A jury found Evan A. Staron, 30, guilty last year of predatory criminal sexual assault.

The jury found that Staron molested a female family member in 2007 when she was 5 years old.

The allegations came out in 2013, when her sister and cousin spoke up about the sexual contact, authorities have said.

One of the two additional incidents of sexually touching underage family members was set for trial Monday.

Staron had not yet been sentenced on the original conviction because of the two pending cases.

Instead of taking the case to trial, Staron agreed in McHenry County Court on Monday to waive all appellate rights in regard to the first case, meaning he would not be able to file any post-conviction motions or request further proceedings.

Evan A. As a result, the reStaron maining charges against him would be dismissed by the state’s attorney’s office and the original conviction would stand.

Judge Sharon Prather accepted the agreement.

Staron faces six to 60 years in prison and at least three years of mandatory supervised release on the charge, and he will be sentenced July 14.

There was no agreement on sentencing recommendations between Staron’s attorney and the state’s attorney’s office.

Staron faced a mandatory life sentence if he had been convicted on all three allegations, authorities have said.

Staron maintained his innocence throughout the August 2015 proceedings, and Prather denied his request for a new trial in December.

Staron’s defense attorney, Paul DeLuca, argued that the jury was tainted when one juror brought in literature on how to nullify a jury.

cswieca@shawmedia.com CARY – The Village Board has approved grants to help fund seven community events in its first round of awards for the new Community Event Grant program.

The biggest award went to the Cary-Grove Area Chamber of Commerce for its annual Main Street Fest, which received $10,000 of the $30,000 fund.

The donation matches the village’s contribution to the event last year, and trustees previously stated they hope the event will grow and eventually pay for itself.

The Cary-Grove Jaycees received $5,000 for a Family Days event the organization is hoping to organize, and $4,000 grants went to both the Rotary Club of Cary-Grove for its summer farmers market and the Trojan Track & Cross Country Association for its Father’s Day 5K/10K. Other awards included $3,000 to

Saints Peter and Paul School for its Oktoberfest, $2,000 to the Heroes like Haley 5K, and $2,000 to the Cary Soccer Association’s memorial tournament.

The village’s community grant fund, which first was proposed in October and approved in April, is meant to funnel back some of the revenue from video gaming into the community.

Village officials said the goal is to provide $20,000 to $40,000 of grants each year, but the available amount will be determined through the annual budget process.

Trustee Rick Dudek said the village should consider altering its process in future years to reserve funds for community events that might be planned later in the year.

“None of these events are in the wintertime. We have no holiday festivity,” Dudek said. “I think at next year’s budget session we have to be able to have some way to accommodate those one-offs, which will happen.”

LOCAL BRIEF Tennessee man accused of firing gun during CL dispute

CRYSTAL LAKE – A 23-year-old Tennessee man is being held in McHenry County Jail without bond after police said he fired several shots Monday during an argument with a family member.

Cody D. Bingham of Rogersville is charged with aggravated discharge of a firearm, a Class 1 felony, as well as misdemeanor assault and criminal damage to property, Crystal Lake Deputy Chief Tom Kotlowski said.

A family member of Bingham’s called 911 about 12:45 a.m. to report a domestic violence incident, police said. As police were arriving, Cody D. Bingham discharged several Bingham rounds inside and outside the home and fled on foot, Kotlowski said.

Police were able to locate Bingham quickly in the Westwood Court area and take him into custody, Kotlowski said. Bingham was unarmed at the time of his arrest, and police located the handgun near the residence.

No one was injured, police said. They continue to investigate the incident.

If convicted of the felony charge, Bingham could face up to 15 years in prison.

Petzel, a Carpentersville native, filed a pro se lawsuit that asks a judge to prevent construction of the bridge and road, vacate previous approvals issued by the Federal Highway Administration and force Kane County to prepare a new environmental impact statement for the project.

A former executive director of Friends of the Fox River, Petzel said he has been opposed to the project since 1997 but not involved with formal opposition groups.

“Basically, at this point, the county has chosen to proceed with the project even though voters don’t agree with it,” Petzel said. “I think this is the only course of action we have at this point.”

“The county has chosen to proceed with the project even though voters don’t agree with it. I think this is the only course of action we have at this point.”

Dialogue concerning the planned 5.6-mile road has been renewed since 68.5 percent of voters in a March Dundee Township referendum said they opposed the project. Opponents have taken to municipal meetings to ask government leaders to stop the long-planned project, while Longmeadow supporters have said the wording of the referendum invalidated its results.

Petzel’s lawsuit takes issue with the environmental impact statement, which was approved in 2002. He said it

does not include circumstantial changes that have occurred since, such as the Brunner property along Route 31 becoming a forest preserve, the Northern Long-Eared Bat becoming a threatened species, and changes in federal noise pollution standards.

The lawsuit also asserts that project managers must complete an analysis looking at the impact to the Brunner property and that a land transfer by the Dundee Township Park District was not completed properly. Kane County Department of Transportation Assistant Director Steve Coffinbarger said the agency was aware of the lawsuit but had not read it yet.

Construction on Longmeadow Parkway between Huntley/Boyer roads and Randall Road began recently, and an engineering contract for the portion from Randall Road to east of White Chapel Lane has been approved by the Kane County Board.

Petzel said he would not seek an injunction on construction until work began on the portion of the project east of Randall Road.

A Lindenhurst man is being held in the Lake County Jail on $1 million bond after being charged Friday with possessing bombs, the Lake County State’s Attorney’s Office said.

Michael Suopys, 28, of the 800 block of Jefferson Drive in Lindenhurst, was charged by the state’s attorney’s office with possessing bombs containing an explosive substance, a Class 3 felony.

Police also confiscated a journal that contained several entries in which Suopys wrote he wanted to kill multiple people and himself, Lake County State’s Attorney spokeswoman Cynthia Vargas said.

On Thursday, the Lindenhurst Police Department and the Federal Bureau of Investigation responded to the neighborhood based on a tip, according to a news release.

The tipster indicated that the defendant could have been conducting online purchases to construct a weapon, police said. A search warrant was obtained after further investigation.

On Friday, the search warrant was executed. Authorities searched the defendant’s bedroom and, according to police, found two suspected pipe bombs, a lab apparatus, a steel pipe (which was found to be empty), a PVC pipe contain-

ing a motor, and two metal pipes that contained a cotton-like material consistent with nitrocellulose.

“We will never know for certain what potential tragedy was averted, but the evidence that has been recovered certainly indicates that this individual was planning something sinister,” Lake County State’s Attorney Michael G. Nerheim said in a statement. “While the facts of this case are certainly disturbing, this is an excellent example of how effective law enforcement can be when we communicate and work together.”

Suopys told police he made improvised grenades because he was unable to obtain a firearm and needed to protect himself from the government, Vargas said.

Suopys has a bachelor’s degree in physics from the University of Illinois at Chicago, authorities said. Suopys’ LinkedIn page, which identifies his occupation as “scientist,” indicates he previously studied at the College of Lake County.

Suopys appeared in bond court Sunday. He is being held in the Lake County Jail in lieu of $1 million bond.

The bombs that were confiscated were removed by bomb technicians and taken to an explosive range, Vargas said.

10 HAMPSHIRE

D-300 board, charter school official to meet on noncompliance claims

By ALLISON GOODRICH

agoodrich@shawmedia.com HAMPSHIRE – After a meeting that was emotional at times yet fairly calm, the Community Unit School District 300 superintendent and the president of the local charter school’s management company agreed to try to work through a laundry list of noncompliance issues the district has claimed against the charter.

Superintendent Fred Heid reinforced previously stated concerns regarding Cambridge Lakes Charter School in Pingree Grove and its management company, Northern Kane Educational Corp.

Ultimately, the school board decided Heid and Northern Kane President/CEO Larry Fuhrer would sit down with attorneys to rake through the issues before the first District 300 meeting in July, at which point the board will consider a renewal request.

District 300 attorney Brian Crowley suggested the board install a hard stop component, meaning if talks break down, the charter’s Fred Heid management will be expected to submit a renewal request

by July 1. The current contract goes through next school year.

After the meeting, Fuhrer said he was confident they could work out issues before that point, unless the district “keeps constantly adding to the bottom of the list.”

Thursday night’s meeting brought several dozen people who listened to the presentations and eventually told their own stories in the auditorium of Hampshire High School.

Some parents of Cambridge Lakes students refuted some of the district’s claims regarding special-needs services, while others asked the board explore alternative management. All 15 who spoke, however, were in agreement about how important the school is to their families.

“We love this school. We love the environment,” said Jeff Sabbe, who identified himself as a parent and a Carpentersville village trustee. “We will be very disappointed if this opportunity is taken away from [my daughter] and the other kids.”

“We love this school. We love the environment. We will be very disappointed if this opportunity is taken away from [my daughter] and the other kids.”

Jeff Sabbe

Carpentersville village trustee and parent of a Cambridge Lakes Charter School student Among the claims against the charter were that parents of students with special needs have been turned away for services; a number of reviewed vaccination waivers were found to be noncompliant; and an audit of the preschool program uncovered disconcerting findings related to possible co-mingling of funds.

Heid also expressed concern about a contract that apparently was established between the charter school and Illinois Central Community College, when District 300’s regionally designated college is Elgin Community College.

He said the district has yet to receive corrective action plans on several of the listed concerns from Northern Kane Educational Corp., the charter school’s management company.

Robert Kohn, attorney for Northern Kane from Arlington Heightsbased Hodges, Loizzi, Eisenhammer, Rodick & Kohn LLP, told the full school board that the management disagreed the charter school had violated any laws.

Fuhrer said he was “mystified” at some of the allegations, including the complaints about special education services, the alleged deficits and the contract with ICCC. Heid said attempts to communicate with the management company about ongoing issues have stretched back for two years.

Both he and board member Joe Stevens expressed doubt that the current management adequately will satisfy concerns.

While Cambridge Lakes maintains some autonomy, it is a public school under the umbrella of District 300.

The Associated Press news editor Any Cabrera pauses from work while getting her photo taken Feb. 1, 2013, at the Mexico City AP bureau.

AP Latin America editor, reporter dies

By E. EDUARDO CASTILLO and ALEJANDRO MANRIQUE The Associated Press

MEXICO CITY – Any Cabrera, a veteran AP journalist who covered many of Latin America’s biggest stories during 33 years as a reporter and editor, died suddenly Monday morning at her home in Mexico City.

Cabrera, 60, was the news editor of the AP’s Spanish-language news service, based in Mexico City. She worked with reporters across Latin America as well as some in Spain and the United States.

Medical investigators believe Cabrera died of a heart attack. A friend who found her said she had been complaining of feeling poorly Sunday.

Ana Leonor Cabrera Rivas, affectionately known by her nickname “Any,” was born Aug. 11, 1955, in San Salvador, El Salvador.

“Any was the calm voice of reason on the other end of the line, the unflappable editor who always knew what had to be done next,” said Paul Haven, the cooperative’s news director for Latin America and the Caribbean.

“She was loved and admired by everybody.”

Cabrera began working as an AP correspondent in El Salvador in 1983 during that country’s bloody civil war, and her dispatches stood out for their objectivity, transparency and balance in a profoundly polarized country.

After the war’s end in 1992, Cabrera was assigned by the AP to report news

from the Brazilian capital, Brasilia, including the South American giant’s transition to democracy after two decades of dictatorship.

In 2000, she transferred to Mexico City to become an editor on the Spanish service news desk. In 2011, Cabrera became that service’s news editor, helping lead an initiative to bolster editing and distribution of Spanish-language stories and improve coordination between the AP’s Spanish and English services.

“Any was a natural leader, a fine journalist and, above all, a good friend to many during her decades of reporting and editing the biggest and most important stories in Latin America,” said Marjorie Miller, AP vice president for global news and enterprise.

“She was known for her wealth of knowledge about the region and her all-around smarts. What a loss for all of us at the AP and for the profession.”

Reporters described Cabrera as a thoroughly professional journalist who cared deeply about their needs and concerns.

“When we were working against the clock, Any went out of her way to help you make your deadline,” said Eva Vergara, AP correspondent in Santiago, Chile. “She could sense when her people were tired from so many hours working, and she would send you home to rest a while, and in the middle of difficult stories such as earthquakes, she worried about you and asked how you and your families were.”

Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – Participating in the world at large will lead to new beginnings this year, but the choices you make must be based on common sense and moderation.

Automatic voter registration questioned

By SOPHIA TAREEN The Associated Press

CHICAGO – A plan to make Illinois the next state to allow automatic voter registration is moving through the Legislature despite the state’s leading election authority having serious doubts that it has the ability and money to roll it out, especially with one deadline before November’s election.

After the Senate easily approved it, the House is poised to take up a proposal in the coming days making the State Board of Elections the clearinghouse for automatically registering voters.

By Sept. 1, the board would have to conduct a voter file update with state agencies’ data going back a year. The whole plan would be in place by 2018.

Similar to laws in Oregon, California, West Virginia and Vermont, the Illinois plan would allow voters to opt out of automatic registration. Democrats, including those in the House where a committee listed it on a Sunday agenda, say it’ll increase civic participation and modernize systems. They point to President Barack Obama’s call to make automatic voter registration “the new norm” nationwide during a February

Inmate says Drew Peterson admitted to killing missing wife

CHESTER – A prison inmate whom Drew Peterson allegedly enlisted to kill a state’s attorney said the former suburban Chicago police officer also admitted killing his missing fourth wife.

The Chicago Tribune reported Antonio Smith testified Monday that the ex-Bolingbrook sergeant referred to Stacy Peterson as a “dead woman” while discussing how to kill Will County State’s Attorney James Glasgow.

Peterson never has been charged in Stacy Peterson’s disappearance and has maintained his innocence.

He is serving a 38-year sentence in the 2004 death of ex-wife Kathleen Savio in a case

State Sen. Andy Manar, D-Bunker Hill, speaks May 10 to reporters during a news conference at the Illinois State Capitol in Springfield. Manar is the Democratic sponsor of a plan to make Illinois the next state allowing automatic voter registration. visit to Springfield.

Some Republicans claim the measure is a ploy to help Democrats, although GOP opposition is quieter than it has been to recent voter access measures, such as 2014’s same-day registration. Five GOP senators voted for automatic voter registration, and Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner said he favors “simplifying” voter registration.

Peterson has pleaded not guilty in the current case and faces an additional 60 years in prison.

High court says it won’t reconsider Blagojevich case

WASHINGTON – The Supreme Court won’t reconsider its decision to reject former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich’s appeal of his corruption convictions.

The justices Monday denied without comment a long-shot petition urging the court to take another look at the case.

The court first turned down Blagojevich’s appeal March 28.

He challenged an appeals court ruling that said he crossed the line when he sought money in exchange for naming someone to fill the vacant Senate seat once occupied by President Barack Obama.

Blagojevich argued that circumstances have changed

Opponents elsewhere, including GOPheavy West Virginia, claim automatic registration only adds apathetic voters.

Estimates vary, but supporters claim there is potential for 2 million new Illinois voters to be registered.

Election board officials said their concern is logistics, pointing out that there’s no program set up for the initial September update.

“It would take major changes to the system and structure of our system to try and implement these things,” said Kyle Thomas, the board’s director of voting and registration systems.

Thomas also questioned the possible “millions” it could cost as the budget standoff between legislative Democrats and Rauner approaches a year.

Democratic sponsor Sen. Andy Manar of Bunker Hill said upfront investment is expected but that there will be long-term savings, improved efficiency and accuracy, and other payoffs.

“If we open the doors of the ballot box to more people, the result is going to be an improved state,” he said.

“When you increase the turnout, you have a government that’s reflective of

Batavia man to finish 50-state marathon quest in Michigan

TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. – An Illinois man is set to complete his goal of running a marathon in all 50 states after he makes it across the finish line at a 26-mile race in Michigan.

Kevin Ely of Batavia will run Saturday in the 34th annual Bayshore Marathon in Traverse City, the Traverse City Record-Eagle reported.

Ely initially began his quest to run 50 marathons in 50 states as a personal goal. He had already checked 13 states off the list when he attended an expo in California, where he learned

its people.”

Well-organized advocacy groups and top Democrats including U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin pitch the idea as a way to remove barriers and contrast Republican-led voter ID laws they claim curb voter eligibility.

Some Republicans raised concerns about fraud and politics in Democrat-leaning Illinois.

“They wouldn’t do this if it didn’t have a positive effect on the November election for them,” Republican Sen. Kyle McCarter of Lebanon said.

Proponents dismissed his claims.

Here’s how the proposal would work: Illinois residents who conduct business with any of five state agencies – such as for a driver’s license – are asked if they meet voter requirements, including being U.S. citizens. Regardless of their eligibility answer, their information is forwarded to the elections board. Then it’s up to election officials to check against other records to verify eligibility, update existing files and start new voter applications. New applications are sent to local election authorities, such as county clerks, who inform potential voters they are registered unless they decline.

about the Free Wheelchair Mission, a nonprofit that offers cost-effective wheelchairs to people with disabilities.

“I thought, ‘I need to turn this from being a selfish thing for me and what I could accomplish for myself,’ ” he said. “At the end, nobody would have really cared.

It was a realization that I needed to do something to make an impact.”

As the father of a 7-year-old with cerebral palsy, his understanding of the importance of mobility, the cost to provide methods of movement, and the fact that millions of people around the world don’t have access to those methods eventually led him to a fundraising mission: Marathons for Mobility.

Ely already has met his goal of raising more than $40,000 for 550 wheelchairs to be donated through the Free Wheelchair Mission. But he will continue taking donations through the Bayshore Marathon in an effort to help as many people as he can.

Illinois farmers see changes in property tax assessments

CARBONDALE – Illinois farmers are paying attention to assessed land value as they pay their 2016 property taxes because of a remedy to a disparity that hinged on soil quality.

In Illinois, calculating the value of cropland takes soil productivity into account. Central Illinois acreage with better soil is valued higher for tax purposes.

Southern Illinois’ less-productive acreage is valued lower. State law had held value changes to 10 percent a year. That meant the assessed value of lower-quality soils was held artificially low.

A fix was enacted in 2013, limiting value changes to 10 percent of the state median cropland productivity value.

The change reportedly means values on lower-quality soil will increase at a faster rate. Properties with better soil will increase at a slower rate.

NATION BRIEFS shot early Sunday.

Top court nixes all-white jury verdict, death sentence A state trooper was shot in the WASHINGTON –The Supreme Court upended the conviction and death sentence of a black Georgia man Monday because prosecutors violated the Constitution by excluding African-Americans from the all-white jury that determined his fate.

The 7-1 ruling in favor of death row inmate Timothy Tyrone Foster came in a case in which defense lawyers obtained strikingly frank notes from prosecutors detailing efforts to keep African-Americans off Foster’s jury. The decision broke no new ground in efforts to fight racial discrimination in jury selection, but underscored the importance of a 30-year-old high court ruling that took aim at the exclusion of minorities from juries.

Man suspected in officer’s slaying had lengthy record

BOSTON – The man suspected of killing a Massachusetts police officer during a weekend traffic stop had a lengthy criminal record and had been released from a maximum-security prison in 2013, officials said Monday.

The suspect, Jorge Zambrano, 35, was fatally shot by police late Sunday after he fired at them from a bedroom closet inside a duplex apartment in Oxford, investigators said.

Oxford is about 7 miles from Auburn, where police Officer Ronald Tarentino was fatally

shoulder by Zambrano, and officers returned fire, police said.

The trooper underwent surgery Sunday night and was recovering in the hospital Monday.

State officials said Zambrano had been released from the Souza-Baranowski Correctional Center in Shirley on Nov. 1, 2013, after serving a seven-year sentence on charges including cocaine trafficking, two counts of assault and battery on a police officer and two counts of resisting arrest.

Woman, girl hospitalized after shark attacks

Officials said an 11-year-old girl and a 57-year-old woman were taken to hospitals after they were bitten by sharks at separate locations in Florida.

Multiple news agencies report the first attack took place Saturday afternoon when the girl was swimming in Jacksonville. Family members told news outlets the girl was bitten on her back, arm and hand. She was hospitalized and will need surgery.

The second attack took place Sunday afternoon in Vero Beach, about 200 miles south of the first incident. Police said a shark bit Mary Marcus, 57, in the leg as she swam about 100 yards off the beach. She was taken to the hospital with injuries not deemed to be life-threatening.

Baltimore officer cleared of all charges in Freddie Gray case

By JULIET LINDERMAN The Associated Press

BALTIMORE – Prosecutors failed for the second time in their bid to hold Baltimore police accountable for the arrest and death of Freddie Gray when an officer was acquitted Monday in the racially charged case that triggered riots a year ago.

A judge cleared Officer Edward Nero of assault, reckless endangerment and misconduct, concluding that Nero played little role in Gray’s arrest and wasn’t responsible for the failure to buckle the black man into the police van where he suffered a broken neck.

Upon hearing the verdict, Nero hugged his attorney and appeared to wipe away a tear.

Nero, who is white, was the second of six officers charged in the case to stand trial. The manslaughter case against Officer William Porter ended in a mistrial in December when the jury deadlocked. Prosecutors plan to retry him in September.

Nero’s lawyers said he and his wife and family are “elated that this nightmare is finally over.”

“The state’s attorney for Baltimore City rushed to charge him, as well as the other five officers, completely disregarding the facts of the case and the applicable law,” they said in a statement.

Prosecutors had no comment; they are under a gag order.

Trial No. 3 – that of van driver Caesar Goodson, who prosecutors believe is most culpable in Gray’s death – is set to begin in

two weeks. He is charged with second-degree murder.

David Weinstein, a Florida attorney and former federal civil-rights prosecutor who has been following the case, said the verdict probably will serve as a “wake-up call” for prosecutors.

“This speaks to the notion a lot of people had when this first happened, which is that it was a rush to judgment,” Weinstein said.

“The state’s attorney was trying to balance what she had with the public outcry and call to action given the climate in Baltimore and across the U.S. concerning policing, and I think she was overreaching.”

Gray died a week after suffering a spinal injury in the back of the van while he was handcuffed and shackled but not belted in.

His death set off looting and arson that prompted authorities to declare a citywide curfew and call out the National Guard to quell unrest in Baltimore for the first time since the riots that erupted in 1968 over the assassination of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. Gray’s name became a rallying cry in the growing furor over the deaths of black men in clashes with police.

Nero, 30, waived his right to a jury trial, choosing instead to let Circuit Judge Barry Williams decide his fate. The assault charge alone carried up to 10 years in prison.

“The state’s theory has been one of recklessness and negligence,” the judge said in his ruling. “There has been no evidence that the defendant intended for a crime to occur.”

BRIEF VA Secretary McDonald compares health care lines to Disney WASHINGTON – Veterans Affairs Secretary Robert McDonald said Monday that the VA should not use wait times as a measure of success, comparing waits for VA health care to the hours people wait for rides at Disney theme parks.

“When you go to Disney, do they measure the number of hours you wait in line? Or what’s important? What’s important is, what’s your satisfaction with the experience?” McDonald said during a Christian Science Monitor breakfast Monday. “And what I would like to move to, eventually, is that kind of measure.”

McDonald’s comments set off a political firestorm, with Republicans denouncing the remarks as inaccurate and inappropriate.

House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., called McDonald’s comments “flippant” and said they show “just how seriously the Obama administration’s VA is taking life or death problems” at the agency.

McDonald took office in July 2014 after his predecessor was forced out amid a scandal over chronically long wait times at VA health care sites.

Hillary Clinton email probe in late stage; FBI may question her

By MICHAEL BIESECKER The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – FBI agents probing whether Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server imperiled government secrets appear close to completing their work, a process experts said probably will culminate in a sit-down with the former secretary of state.

The FBI already has spoken with Huma Abedin, a Clinton confidant who was among the Democratic presidential front runner’s closest aides at the State Department. Former chief of staff Cheryl D. Mills also is cooperating with the investigation, her lawyer said.

That signals that agents probably will seek to interview Clinton soon, if they haven’t already, former Justice Department officials told The Associated Press. The FBI’s standard practice is to save questioning the person at the center of an investigation for last, once it has gathered available facts from others.

“With a person like Secretary Clinton, the FBI probably assumes they are going to get one chance to interview her, not only because she is a prominent person, but because she is very busy right now with the presidential campaign,” said David Deitch, a former Justice Department prosecutor. “It makes sense they would defer interviewing her until late in their investigation.”

On CBS’ “Face the Nation” May 8, Clinton said the FBI had not yet reached out to her, but she was “more than ready to talk to anybody, anytime.”

“I hope that this is close to being wrapped up,” she said.

Clinton has good reasons to want the FBI to close its investigation soon.

She has been dogged by questions about her email practices for more than a year, since AP revealed that the clintonemail.com server was in the basement of Clinton’s New York home while she served as the nation’s top diplomat from 2009 to 2013.

Clinton has acknowledged in the campaign that her homebrew email

setup was a mistake, but said she never sent or received anything marked classified at the time.

FBI Director James Comey said this month he is keeping close tabs on the investigation to ensure it’s conducted properly and completed promptly. However, he added, there is no timeline for completing the probe tied to events on the political calendar, such as the 2016 Democratic National Convention in late July.

Republicans want to keep the issue alive through the November presidential election, alleging that she put national security at risk.

“Clinton’s irresponsible behavior as secretary of state and her deliberate attempts to mislead the American people show she lacks the judgment and character to be president,” Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus said this month.

In addition to the FBI investigation, inspectors general at the State Department and the U.S. intelligence community are reviewing whether security procedures or laws were broken.

WASHINGTON – Before deciding whether she’ll vote for Donald Trump, Martha McSally said, she’ll spend time “determining what kind of man he is.”

Mia Love said some comments by the presumptive Republican presidential candidate need “some sort of explanation,” while Renee Ellmers backs him because he’s “a problem solver.”

McSally, Love and Ellmers are not women interviewed randomly on the street. They’re Republican members of the House, among five GOP congresswomen facing competitive re-election races whose reactions highlight the hard choices Trump’s provocative statements are forcing on his own party.

Each of the five must confront a question with political and personal implications: Will you support your party’s standard-bearer, knowing his history of comments about women that many consider offensive? Trump has called some women a “dog,” a “fat pig” or “flat-chested,” republished a tweet dubbing Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly a “bimbo” and accused likely Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton of using “the woman’s card” to win votes.

“I think it puts all women in an awkward position,” Rep. Ann Wagner, R-Mo., whose seat is safe and is a leader of the House GOP campaign committee, said of Trump’s impact on female Republican lawmakers. “And I want to see that tone and temperament changed.”

Trump, of course, is causing angst across the GOP. House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis.,

has withheld his endorsement, citing questions about policy and party unity while giving cover to hesitant rankand-file Republicans. Male congressional Republicans in difficult races and women in secure seats are also distancing themselves.

Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers, R-Wash., the House’s top-ranking GOP woman, said last week she is voting for Trump though “not exactly” with enthusiasm and “vehemently” opposes his remarks about women, the disabled and others.

For the five GOP women fighting to preserve their House careers, the perils are obvious. Rejecting Trump could alienate his energized supporters, jeopardizing needed votes. Embracing him might cost support from women, Hispanics and others he’s angered with incendiary comments and invite criticism for backing a man who has repeatedly insulted their own gender.

“They’re going to have to do some deep soul-searching and really think about, ‘Is Donald Trump’s Republican Party a party they feel comfortable in?’” said Alixandria Lapp, executive director of the House Majority PAC, which backs Democrats in House campaigns.

Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski said rather than diminishing female support for GOP congressional candidates, Trump will increase voter turnout and said a bigger factor will be Clinton’s unpopularity among men. He said there is a “complete misconception” that Trump faces problems with women, citing the billionaire businessman’s hiring of women over the years and his “security at home” campaign theme.

Conservatives created bathroom issue

Gallons of ink, and volumes of hot air, have been spent in the past few months on the supposed dangers of allowing transgender people in general, and students in particular, to use bathrooms and locker rooms consistent with their gender identity.

A Portland High School senior, however, summed up the debate in four words.

“No one really cares,” Brianna Guptil, 18, told the Portland Press Herald last week, after President Obama issued a federal directive supporting transgender rights.

No one really cares, that is, except those drumming up unwarranted fear of sexual predation, all at the expense of a small, vulnerable population just trying to live their lives.

That’s because, before conservatives, suddenly and hysterically, made transgender bathroom usage an issue, it wasn’t an issue at all.

No, until conservatives began concocting ridiculous scenari-

os in which the recognition of transgender rights would lead to bathroom assaults, transgender people used bathrooms at schools and in stores and restaurants without putting anyone in danger or compromising anyone’s privacy. For the most part, no one even noticed.

In all that time, in states that prohibited discrimination against transgender men and women in public accommodations, bathrooms were not dangerous places.

Transgender people did not expose themselves to children, or otherwise make people uncomfortable.

And sexual predators did not use the laws as “cover” to gain access to bathrooms where there would be children or members of the opposite sex. In fact, “spying” on people in bathrooms is against the law whatever your sex or gender identity, and regardless of the laws covering bathroom access.

These problems only existed

in the minds of people ignorant and uneasy when it comes to gender identity, and unwilling to learn more, and the politicians happy to exploit that fear and unfamiliarity.

These problems weren’t real when states began living under laws that protected transgender people from discrimination. And they won’t become real now that Obama issued his directive that public schools must permit transgender students to use bathrooms and locker rooms consistent with their chosen gender identity.

As the debate clamors on, that’s important to remember – the fear and disgust that some people harbor for transgender men and women have been created and reinforced by an ongoing fiction.

The best we can do is ignore that phony narrative, and continue bending our laws toward justice and tolerance. That’s something worth caring about.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

IT’S YOUR WRITE

Better late than never

To the Editor: A great big ol’ heap of thanks goes out to the Lakemoor public works team. The newly installed T intersection sign, solar power flashing lights, new posts and Ports of Sullivan signs on Sullivan Lake Road are greatly appreciated. The west end sign has been missing since about 2005.

With how the vehicles come flying over the rise from the west and coming around the curve from the east, the issue with safety is imperative.

Now, I would like to submit one little request. With the many children now living in the “Ports,” school bus traffic is a constant during the school year. Maybe one little ol’ “school bus stop ahead sign” on the west end would be appropriate. (Just thinking about the safety of the children.)

Oh, and just one last suggestion for the Northwest Herald. Please, please, put Old Glory back on the front page and add the 49th and 50th states back on the weather page of your fine newspaper. I miss ‘em big time.

Again, as a daily reader of the Northwest Herald since 1988, a heap of thanks.

GUEST VIEW David McSweeney of money available for other spending needs. 2. The state’s Medicaid spending is growing exponentially every year. 3. The state has done very little to curb wasteful and duplicative administrative spending, which is costing taxpayers.

We need to adopt a permanent budget by May 31 without a tax increase and based on a $32.5 billion fiscal year 2017 revenue estimate.

We can fund social services, higher education and K-12 education. Most importantly, we can balance the budget without cutting services for the truly needy.

First, we need to reamortize the pension debt to give the state more time to make required annual contributions to the pension funds.

The deadline we have imposed on the pension systems based on a 1995 law are arbitrary and can be changed.

Restructuring the pension debt could reduce annual required contribution by more than $2 billion a year over

A lot to be angry about

To the Editor: A recent letter asked the question, “Why are we so angry?” which I will reply to here with a list that has been building for seven years.

I am angry we have a horrible economy with few high-paying jobs for qualified people. I am angry wages have declined over the last seven years, especially among the black community. I am angry President Barack Obama has decimated the coal industry and placed burdensome regulations on other industries that have crippled the economy. I am angry we have a Congress and Senate that does nothing to stop him. I am angry a minuscule portion of society is driving the narrative in this country. I am angry we do not have a sovereign nation with secure borders. I am angry because Obama demonizes the achievers in this country and has set back race relations 50 years. I am angry government agencies target certain groups that would eliminate their funding or make the populace suffer if they do not get a budget increase. I am angry at the destruction of the family unit, which was fostered by liberal social welfare programs. Finally, I am angry the

the next few years. If we restructure the state’s pension debt and couple that as a first step with the meaningful pension reforms Senate President John Cullerton has proposed, we could free up meaningful money in the short-term and be on our way toward a real, long-term solution to the pension crisis.

Second, we need to freeze Medicaid spending levels while protecting everyone below 150 percent of the poverty level. Illinois is only receiving 50 cents from the federal government for every dollar spent on Medicaid. Some states are receiving more than 60 cents on the dollar. We need to aggressively pursue federal waivers and pursue other innovative ways to bring in $500 million to $1 billion a year of additional federal money into the Illinois Medicaid system. We also need to complete a private audit and eliminate Medicaid waste and fraud.

Finally, we need to reduce the cost of Illinois government. We need to consolidate unnecessary and duplicative government programs and agencies and find ways to run state government more efficiently. We also need to reduce state group health insurance costs.

Over the past couple of years, the state has operated with about a $36 billion budget. If we cut the overall budget by about 10 percent (not across the board, but by line item), we can solve the current budget crisis without raising taxes. The combination of pension reform, restructuring the state’s pension debt, freezing Medicaid costs and reducing administrative costs can provide the necessary savings to balance the budget.

Another significant reason not to adopt a tax increase is a lack of trust with the politicians to do the right thing. The 2011 tax increase came with promises of fiscal responsibility, but ended in more unpaid bills, a bigger budget and an even larger pension shortfall.

The path to fixing the Illinois budget lies not in raising taxes, but in solving the long-term budget structural problems facing the state. We also need to adopt policies that will promote additional economic activity and create additional jobs and taxpayers.

It is not the purpose of democracy to make us free. The purpose of democracy is to use compromise to seek and maintain a satisfactory middle ground between total freedom and total domination.

The clamor in Springfield for a tax increase has reached a near fever pitch. The conventional wisdom, we are told, is Illinois’ budget is so out of balance, so out of whack the only hope of solving this crisis is a massive tax increase on Illinois families and small business employers. A tax increase is the wrong answer for Illinois.

In the last few weeks, various tax increase proposals have emerged.

News reports say a recent secret working group document calls for increasing the personal income tax rate by nearly 30 percent, from 3.75 percent to as much as 4.85 percent, and expanding the sales tax to include certain services.

The truth is Illinoisans cannot afford another tax increase. WalletHub. com recently named Illinois the state with the highest combination of local and state taxes in the entire nation.

The last thing Illinois taxpayers need right now is for lawmakers to add to an already high tax burden in Illinois.

The reason Illinois’ financial health is in peril is three-fold. 1. The state has enormous pension obligations that reduce the annual amount

Tribune rejects 2nd bid from Gannett The ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK – Tribune Publishing rejected a second takeover bid from USA Today owner Gannett, but did say Monday that it was open to further talks.

Gannett last week raised its pershare bid for the owner of the Los Angeles Times, Chicago Tribune and other newspapers to $15, from $12.25.

Gannett, based in McLean, Virginia, put the total value of the revised offer at about $864 million, which includes some $385 million in debt.

The Chicago publisher called the offer inadequate, but on Monday it revealed that it would sell 4.7 million shares to a California entrepreneur for $70.5 million, which on a pershare basis is exactly what Gannett is offering.

The stake was taken by Nant Capital, which was founded by Patrick Soon-Shiong, a surgeon and businessman.

Nant is now Tribune Publishing’s second-largest shareholder and SoonShiong will become vice chairman of the board.

Gannett Co. said Monday that it will determine whether to continue its pursuit of Tribune Publishing after that company’s June 2 stockholder’s annual meeting, where it has urged Tribune shareholders to reject the proposed slate of board nominees.

The rejection Monday arrived three days after Gannett sent an excoriating letter to Tribune shareholders ques-

tioning the motives of the company board and Michael W. Ferro Jr., the publisher’s nonexecutive chairman.

Tribune Publishing Co. did, however, invite Gannett to create a nondisclosure agreement so that the companies could determine whether a deal could be reached that would benefit everyone.

Gannett’s attempts to acquire Tribune Publishing follow a recent shakeup at the company.

In February, Ferro Jr. made a $44.4 million cash investment in the Tribune through his Merrick Media. At the time, Ferro owned a sizeable stake in Tribune’s crosstown rival, the Chicago Sun-Times.

He later said that he would donate the Sun-Times stake to a charitable trust to avoid the appearance of a conflict of interest.

Shares of Tribune Publishing tumbled $2.14, or 15 percent, to close Monday at $12.09.

Gannett’s shares slipped 38 cents, or 2.4 percent, to $15.74.

WORTH TALKIN’ ABOUT TUESDAY, MAY 24, 2016

NEW YORK – Dan Rather will host an hourlong TV special in two weeks on five musicians who have died within the past 13 months, featuring his own interview with the late Merle Haggard.

The special also focuses on Prince, David Bowie, Natalie Cole and B.B. King and is scheduled for June 7 on AXS-TV. The former CBS News anchor has been conducting interviews for the entertainment-oriented network for the past few years.

Haggard performs “Sing Me Back Home” after his last interview with Rather.

Celine Dion performs “The Show Must Go On” at the Billboard Music Awards on Sunday at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

Madonna, Stevie Wonder pay homage to Prince at Billboard Madonna paid homage to Prince by wearing his signature color and bringing another icon – Stevie Wonder – onstage to sing the classic “Purple Rain” at Sunday’s Billboard Music Awards.

Sitting atop a purple throne, Madonna kicked off the tribute with a version of “Nothing Compares 2 U,” which Prince wrote and Sinead O’Connor recorded.

She as teary-eyed as she sang the song, videos and photos of Prince projected behind her.

Wonder, in a purple scarf, later joined her for “Purple Rain” as the audience at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas sang along.

“Most of all, thank you Prince Rogers Nelson for all that you’ve given us,” Madonna said after the performance.

Prince died on April 21 at age 57. The icons collaborated on “Love Song” in 1989 and Madonna was met with criticism online when Billboard announced she would be the one to pay homage to The Purple One. Some felt she should not do the tribute alone, and others said a black artist should be involved.

“All of us live in the land of music and his departure was an earthquake,” Roots drummer Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson said before the performance.

“I just want to take a moment to remember the great Prince Rogers Nelson.”

The Weeknd, the night’s big winner with eight, dedicated an award to Prince and told the audience, “I love him so much. I didn’t know him, but he was so close to me. He will always be an inspiration.”

However, The Weeknd lost the night’s big award – top artist – to Adele, who didn’t attend the show because she’s on tour.

HARRISBURG, Pa. – Bill Cosby lost a bid to delay a key hearing Tuesday in his criminal sex-assault case.

The Pennsylvania Supreme Court has refused to grant a delay while Cosby tries again to have the case thrown out.

The 78-year-old entertainer is appealing a ruling that upheld charges based on his 2004 encounter with a Temple University employee. Cosby believes he has a deal with a former prosecutor that he could never be charged in the case. He says that’s why he testified in the woman’s civil lawsuit.

The Supreme Court order Monday did not say whether the appeal still is being considered. But the order denies Cosby’s bid to postpone Tuesday’s preliminary hearing. The hearing will determine whether prosecutors have enough evidence to send the case to trial.

Plans shape up for actor Dick Van Dyke to visit Ill.

DANVILLE – The executive director of Dick Van Dyke’s charitable foundation said the 90-year-old actor will take part in events in Danville and suburban Chicago next month.

Todd Regan of the Dick Van Dyke Foundation told the (Danville) Commercial-News the actor will perform June 26 in Downers Grove.

A date for a Danville event will be set soon.

The star of “Mary Poppins” and “The Dick Van Dyke Show” lived in Danville when

he was in high school. Van Dyke hopes to restore his childhood home as a foundation headquarters and provide scholarships to young performers.

Proceeds from Van Dyke’s Chicago appearances will benefit the Dick Van Dyke Foundation for the Performing Arts and the Center for Early Childhood Creativity and Innovation at the Walt Disney Birthplace in Chicago.

Obama dines with CNN’s Anthony Bourdain for series NEW YORK – President Barack Obama dined in Hanoi, Vietnam, on Monday with CNN personality Anthony Bourdain, whose “Parts Unknown” food travelogue is one of the network’s most popular nonfiction series.

Bourdain met with Obama to discuss the purpose of Obama’s trip to Asia and his interest in the people, food and culture of Vietnam, CNN said.

A huge crowd gathered outside the restaurant Bun cha Huong Lien, then let out a cheer when the president came out. Obama shook a lot of hands and waved repeatedly before vanishing into the motorcade.

Bourdain later tweeted that the meal cost $6, and he picked up the check.

Bourdain’s show has been on CNN since 2013. For each episode, the chef travels to a different part of the world to explore that area’s culture, primarily by sharing in the area’s distinct native cuisine.

The interview with Obama will be featured in the eighth season of “Parts Unknown,” which begins in September.

Google takes aim at biggest rivals Three-day showcase unveils plans for virtual reality, Google Home, Android OS

By MICHAEL LIEDTKE The Associated Press

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. – From virtual reality to a new smart-home speaker, Google is showing off just how pervasive it has become even as it’s squeezed by its biggest competitors – Facebook, Apple and Amazon.

Google showed off a VR system called Daydream, along with plans for headsets that will compete with Facebook’s Oculus Rift. In a jab at Amazon, the company announced Google Home, an Internet-connected speaker that listens for your voice commands to play music or control lights and thermostats in the home. It is reminiscent of Amazon’s Echo and will be available later this year for a yet-unannounced price.

In an attempt to outshine Apple, Google also is adding features to its Android operating system, including the ability to run apps without actually installing apps. That’s perhaps the one truly new thing Google announced Wednesday. It is Google’s answer to the pain of installing phone apps you know you’ll use just once or twice, for shopping or booking a parking spot, for example. With this approach, the app runs on Google’s servers instead of your phone. Only the parts you need get sent to your phone on an as-needed basis.

Meanwhile, the chat service Allo will use Google’s computers to predict how you want to respond, saving you typing. It also will chat directly with Google to find information or navigate. Allo will compete with popular chat services such as Facebook’s Messenger, which recently announced an artificial intelligence feature, and WhatsApp, also owned by Facebook.

More than 7,000 people attended Google’s keynote Wednesday in Mountain View, California. Besides journalists and bloggers, Google’s three-day I/O conference attracts thousands of computer programmers, giving Google an opportunity to convince them why they should design applications and other services that work with its gadgets and an array of software that includes the Chrome Web browser and Android operating system for mobile devices.

Android powers about 80 percent of the world’s smartphones, largely because Google gives away the software for free to device makers. Google can afford to do that because it designs Android to feature its search engine,

maps and other digital services, giving it more opportunities to show the digital ads that generate most of its revenue.

But Apple’s iPhone carries more cachet with affluent consumers and often introduces features that Android copies. Apple will hold a similar conference in June to unveil its fall software plans.

Google’s bare-bones entry into the

still-nascent field of virtual reality came two years ago when it unveiled a cheap headset made out of cardboard.

The company is poised to get more serious, given far more sophisticated options available for sale.

With Daydream, manufacturers including Samsung, HTC and Huawei will have smartphones capable of handling it. These headsets promise to be more comfortable and more im-

mersive than the cardboard headset.

Google also is distributing guidelines for a new controller with a few buttons, a touchpad and sensors to track its orientation and where it’s pointing.

The controller can be used to flip digital pancakes, throw things and cast a virtual fishing line.

Analysts are touting virtual reality, a technology that casts its users into artificial, three-dimensional worlds, as one of the industry’s most promising areas for growth.

Meanwhile, Google Home and Allo will tap Google’s computing prowess. Artificial intelligence, a term used to describe efforts to develop software that acts and behaves more like humans, has been a focal point of Google’s for years. Progress in the field has helped Google’s search engine comprehend the intent of people’s inquiries more quickly and vastly improved the comprehension and responsiveness of its voice-recognition services.

Company considers easing 140 character restriction

By BARBARA ORTUTAY The Associated Press

The Twitter logo appears on an updated phone post on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange. Is it time to ditch Twitter’s somewhat archaic 140-character post limit? Twitter users already employ creative ways to get around it, and CEO Jack Dorsey has called it a “beautiful constraint” that inspires creativity. But the technical reasons for having the limit in the first place no longer applies. feeling.

A few months later, Dorsey insisted to “Today” show host Matt Lauer the 140-character limit was here to stay, even as Twitter itself evolves.

But a news report this week, citing unnamed people, said the company was planning to stop counting Web links and photos in the 140 characters, a move that further would erode that limit. Twitter declined to comment on the Bloomberg report.

Gartner analyst Brian Blau called the idea “a good compromise.” Twitter already shortens long links to give users more room to write. This might be a logical next step.

Easing the character limit, though, might not be enough to reverse Twitter’s stagnation. The San Francisco company, which recently celebrated

its 10th birthday, long has lagged behind Facebook as a place for everyone. It has 310 million users, less even than the professional networking service LinkedIn. Facebook, meanwhile, has 1.65 billion users. Even though many people are familiar with Twitter, at least in name, the company has not been able to persuade them to use the service.

Twitter remains hard to understand for many people, with its own lingo of hashtags and “at” symbols.

Although it makes sense Twitter doesn’t want to alienate existing users with too many changes, Blau said, Twitter has to “fundamentally revamp the service and make it more appealing to more people.”

Getting rid of that limit might be a start.

Free NSA-caliber encryption and a 5-year-old could use it.

John and Will Ackerly each had stints in the government during the surveillance build-up of the past two decades – John as a Bush administration technology adviser and Will as an engineer at the National Security Agency.

Today the two brothers play very different roles: helping individuals and corporations evade snooping through an encrypted communications app called Virtru.

For the layperson, it’s hard to tell whether Virtru’s system is any better than its competition. But on ease of use, the app delivers. I was sending encrypted emails from one account to another within 30 seconds of downloading the company’s app for Android. When I switched to my horribly slow, virus-ridden laptop to test Virtru’s browser plug-in, I found it lightning-fast and glitch-free despite a crummy Internet connection.

But the real fun comes with the extra features in the app. Virtru lets you delete or revoke access to emails you’ve sent. It has an “expiration” function so you can set emails to erase themselves after a certain amount of time.

Virtru’s website advertises “end-toend encryption,” a term reserved for communications that can be accessed only by sender and recipient. According to the company, that’s the case here.

But if you’re signed up through your employer, you should know that an administrator somewhere in your company might be reading your emails. For the businesses and government agencies it sells to, Virtru builds in features that closely can monitor employees’ communication.

NEW YORK – Many Twitter users – and more importantly, the billions more who don’t use Twitter – feel constrained by the company’s somewhat archaic 140Whoops! That’s what happens when you hit the character limit imposed by Twitter. Is it time to ditch it as Twitter searches for ways to grow its stagnant user base?

The limit was created so tweets would fit in a single text message, back when people used Twitter that way. But most people now use Twitter through its mobile app, where there isn’t the same technical constraint.

And Twitter users already employ creative ways to get around it. They send out multi-part tweets or take screenshots of text typed elsewhere.

CEO Jack Dorsey, in such a screenshot that he tweeted in January, appeared amused by the fact people – not to be constrained – are finding creative workarounds such as the text block photos. Maybe it’s something Twitter could build on. “[What] if that text ... was actually text?” he mused. “Text that could be searched. Text that could be highlighted. That’s more utility and power.”

This suggests the company at least is thinking about creative ways to keep the spirit of the 140-character limit while giving people more freedom to share their thoughts and rants. But there’s history, nostalgia, and the Twitter brand being inexorably tied to quick, short bursts of text.

Twitter still often is described as a “short messaging service,” after all.

Dorsey called the limit a “beautiful constraint” that inspires creativity, brevity and a “sense of speed.”

Twitter, he wrote, will never lose the

Few surgery options for emphysema Dear Dr. K: My mother has severe emphysema. Medication and oxygen therapy aren’t helping much anymore. Are there any good surgical options?

Dear Reader: Emphysema is a long-term lung problem that makes it harder and harder to breathe as the disease progresses.

It often is grouped together with chronic bronchitis under the label of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Emphysema destroys the walls between tiny air sacs (alveoli) in the lungs. When this happens, the lungs cannot absorb oxygen and expel carbon dioxide normally. So they deliver less oxygen to the bloodstream.

(I’ve put an illustration on my website, www.askdoctork.com.) The lung tissue also loses its resilience, which makes it harder to expel air as forcefully. This leaves air trapped in the air sacs.

All of these changes result in shortness of breath. As the disease worsens, a person with emphysema may have trouble catching his or her breath even while sitting or lying down.

Medications that help open the airways are the cornerstone of treatment. Many people eventually also need supplemental oxygen therapy.

Surgery is an option only for people with severe emphysema who have trouble breathing despite medical treatment and pulmonary rehabilitation. (Pulmonary rehab is therapy that combines exercise breathing retraining, patient education and psychological support.)

The most common surgery is lung volume reduction surgery, in which a surgeon removes damaged areas of the lung. The idea is to create space in which healthier lung tissue can expand and contract more easily. It also enables the diaphragm to return to a more normal position, so it can work more effectively to get air in

SUDOKU

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff and out of the lungs.

A newer, less invasive procedure called bronchoscopic lung volume reduction surgery sometimes can be done instead. It involves putting one-way valves into the airways leading to the diseased parts of the lung. The valves let air out but not in. This collapses the diseased parts of the lung.

This procedure does not involve cutting open the chest, as traditional surgery does, but the result is similar: The space taken by an ineffective part of the lung is freed up.

In another procedure, bullectomy, the surgeon removes large, abnormal air pockets in the lungs. This procedure is done infrequently.

The final option is lung transplantation. It is a last resort for people whose lungs are failing because there is just not enough healthy lung left from the ravages of emphysema. This physically demanding procedure is usually done only on younger people, who are more likely to withstand the risks.

In other words, the few treatments available for end-stage emphysema are pretty drastic and only partly effective. But at least there is something to offer your mother that may have some benefit.

The vast majority of cases of emphysema are caused by smoking tobacco. That means there’s a way to never have to face those drastic choices: Quit, before it’s too late.

• Write to Dr. Komaroff at www.askdoctork.com or at 10 Shattuck St., Second Floor, Boston, MA 02115.

HOW TO PLAY Each row, column and set of 3-by-3 boxes must contain the numbers 1 through 9 without repetition.

Dear Abby: My daughter is being married in June. Her father – my ex – has let her know she must invite his new wife’s parents to the wedding.

They are drinkers and in the past have been very rude to my daughter. She has no relationship at all with them and doesn’t want them at her wedding. She is aware this will cause hard feelings with her stepmother and her father. My soon-to-be son-in-law called me asking for advice.

I said maybe they should be invited to keep peace in the family, but my daughter is very upset at the idea of having these people around on her “special day.” Any advice? – Wedding Invite In Wisconsin Dear Wedding Invite: Your ex-husband’s new in-laws are not related to your daughter and do not appear to have made an effort to befriend her.

Because of that, I see no reason why they “must” be invited, unless your ex is footing the bill for the wedding.

If this is the case, and the wedding is a large one, the couple could be seated “in Siberia,” which might be a less than satisfactory, but workable, solution. (Why they would insist on coming under these circumstances, I can’t say, but some people will do almost anything for a free dinner.)

co-worker has been diagnosed with terminal cancer. She’s not sure how long she may have. She is relatively young, so it’s tragic.

We have excellent insurance from work, national health care and disability insurance.

Another co-worker sent out an email with a link to a crowdfunding site as well as an invitation to a party selling products. The proceeds will be donated to fulfilling a “cancer bucket list,” which includes pampering, trips and other luxuries. I sympathize with anyone having a terminal illness, but why does that mean I have to give money? Do they have a right to be pampered on other people’s dime?

This kind of fundraising, without real financial need, seems to happen often: Co-workers who have had accidents, fires, unexpected or stressful incidents all have office collections set up, even when they are fully insured and the damage is covered by their policies. A friend (or Human Resources) contacts everyone who has had even a passing interaction with the individual and solicits donations. I am happy to write letters and notes to people I know are having a hard time. I visit with closer friends and may bring a meal or flowers to their home. But people I’ve spent only a few hours with asking for money for luxuries seems nervy to me. Am I a tightwad, or is a financial donation necessary to express condolences?

Marcus Tullius Cicero, who was the Roman consul in 63 B.C., said, “If you aspire to the highest place, it is no disgrace to stop at the second, or even the third, place.”

In today’s deal, which is the same as yesterday’s, South reaches the second-best contract of four hearts.

It might be no disgrace, but it would help if he could make the contract; otherwise, he really will wish he had played in five diamonds.

What should South do after West leads the club ace and continues with the club king?

Yesterday, North redoubled to show 10-plus high-card points; now he started with one spade, ignoring West’s intervention. Three clubs was fourth-suit game-forcing. After South described his two-suiter, North supported diamonds. Then, when South continued with four hearts, North assumed this showed a suit strong enough to play opposite king-doubleton.

The danger in four hearts is retaining trump control because West’s takeout double indicates shortage in hearts. Rather than try to draw trumps, it is better to cash side-suit winners and take some trump tricks.

South should ruff the second club, play a diamond to the king, and return a diamond to his ace. Then he can give up a diamond trick (East discards a spade). If West does not play another club, South can draw trumps and cash pointed-suit winners. Or, when West leads a third club, declarer ruffs and plays on spades. East ruffs the second, but a fourth club is ruffed in the dummy, trumps drawn, and diamonds cashed.

akantecki@shawmedia.com CARPENTERSVILLE – DundeeCrown softball coach Tracy Beatty watched as her team committed consecutive errors – a catcher’s interference and a mishandled bunt – to start Monday’s Class 4A Dundee-Crown Regional first-round game, and thought back to previous games.

“When you start the game under two (errors), it is a little nerve wracking,” Beatty said. “And that’s kind of been our nemesis. If we get on right away, it’s momentum for us. When someone gets on top of us first, we’ve got to fight back and that’s hard to come back from.”

Chargers sophomore pitcher Sydney Ruggles helped calm any nerves from a shaky defensive start. Ruggles, who recently struck out 23 in a 12-inning shutout, held Cary-Grove to one run in the first, and commanded the strike zone and buried the Trojans with her deceptive movement.

Ruggles continued her run of dominant pitching for the Chargers and later added a run-scoring hit to lead D-C to a 4-2 win over the Trojans and the program’s first playoff victory since 2011.

“This girl has always been a fighter,” Beatty said. “She’s a competitor. If she gets hit, I don’t panic. I know she’ll keep the game face she needs and the focus to finish. That’s just her.”

Ruggles allowed two runs (both unearned) on five hits, striking out eight and walking one in seven innings. Over her past 23 innings, she hasn’t allowed an earned run on 12 hits with 37 strikeouts and four walks.

She has an area-best 208 strikeouts in 1622/3 innings and a 2.20 ERA. Ruggles’ only walk Monday was intentional to Brianne Prank, which loaded the bases in the first. C-G scored on a sacrifice fly from Anna Whitaker, but Ruggles struck out the next batter, and the final out was recorded at home plate after a wild pitch on a 2-1 putout.

Ruggles admitted to some nerves.

“You can’t get shaken up. You’ve got to brush it off, start new, and play your game,” Ruggles said of the start. “My movements are spinning, and they’re really tricking the batters. My screwball

She’s just been solid all season long, and just a great a leader – showing everybody what it’s about.” was really working.”

Despite the loss, Trojans coach Tammy Olson is encouraged by what the future of the program holds. Prank, who hit better than .600 this season, was the only senior on the roster.

“When we started, fundamentally, we weren’t sound,” Olson said. “They grew as the season went on, and they really came through nicely in the end, beating Huntley and beating Lakes. They can see that they can play with them all.”

Hill added two hits and a run for C-G. Alyssa Gurgone scored a run, and Claire Weeks (double, two runs), Ruggles and Deanna Origer each added two hits for D-C. Madie Pautz and Hannah Gestrich had RBIs for the Chargers.

Woodstock won, 4-0. A lot more was “This is by far the closest group I’ve had in my at stake Monday, and it showed in the nine years as a coach in the Harvard program,” way the host Blue Streaks played.

The Blue Streaks got a lift from the bottom of the order. Michelle Hanson and Taylor Spanbauer, the Nos. 8 and 9 batters, combined for six hits and six RBIs. For Woodstock coach Steve Beard, the game really came down to how his team ran the bases.

“The goal today was to be aggressive on the bases,” Beard said. “I really feel like we were able to do that today, and we also did a nice job of not giving free passes.”

Harvard (3-23) was led by Magen Greaux with two hits.

“Woodstock did a really nice job of jumping out to a quick lead, and we weren’t able to answer,” Harvard coach Becky Edinger said. “Daniela (Garcia) really fought hard for us in the circle, but we just couldn’t overcome the first inning.”

Grant rallies in 7th to drop CLC

By RYAN ALTMAN

sports@nwherald.com FOX LAKE – After Monday’s game, Crystal Lake Central coach Tom Mueller gathered his seniors together to remind them of how much they’ve meant to the Tigers baseball program.

“I told them that they were put in a tough spot this year,” the first-year Tigers coach said. “Any time seniors have a new coach, that’s a tough deal for them.

Their leadership and how they stepped up this year changed our program.

“We were a team in the beginning of the year that didn’t know how to finish games off, but in the last 14 or 15 games, they came out and expected to win.

That’s who they became this year.”

Just minutes before, the No. 8-seededTigers had lost a heartbreaking, 4-3 decision against Grant on a walk-off single, in a game which they were never behind before the Bulldogs pushed two across in the seventh inning.

The Tigers’ past six playoff games have been losses by a combined seven runs.

q AND ANOTHER THING ...

Before Monday’s loss, the Tigers had won eight of their past 10 games.

South at C-G. Up 3-2 in the bottom of the seventh, Tigers pitcher Luke Tevyaw (seven strikeouts), who had stymied the Bulldogs up to that point with solid command of his off-speed pitches, was roughed up for four singles in the final inning, including the game-winner.

Saturday’s championship Semifinal winners, 2 p.m.

“First few innings, I couldn’t find [the curveball],” Tevyaw said. “I was relying on the slider a little more. After that, I was finding the strike zone.…

This whole season, we’ve learned to fight through adversity, that’s what I was trying to do, but sometimes, you just can’t get it.”

The Tigers (17-14), however, were the ones who jumped ahead early on a pair of “unconventional” runs – the first on a balk, the second on a throwing error – which gave them a 2-0 lead after two.

In the sixth, outfielder Blake Seegers ripped an RBI single to right-center, ex-

tending his team’s lead to 3-1.

Seegers said his mindset during the at-bat was to provide a larger cushion for Tevyaw, who had only given up the two runs on three hits through six.

“We always have confidence in Luke, and we just needed to put in the work behind him,” said Seegers, who went 2 for 3 with two singles. “But some balls fell, and that’s OK. I was trying to hit Frank (Berg) in (from third), and I was just thinking, ‘I need to get him in.’ ” Berg, Adam Wittenberg, Cam Nisenson and Fred Birr had one hit apiece for the Tigers.

Berg, a shortstop, who is one of 11 seniors on the Tigers’ roster, said he’d never trade his four years in the program for anything else.

“I think of [this season] as, ‘I’ve had the opportunity to play with the greatest guys,’ ” Berg said. “As a team, we’ve come to win ballgames, and that’s what we’ve done. Some things just don’t go your way. I’m blessed to have played with a team like this and make a statement for next year, because things aren’t going to be easy at CLC anymore.”

BASEBALL: CLASS 3A BELVIDERE REGIONAL

Despite record, Marengo is no easy out

By CHRIS CASEY

sports@nwherald.com MARENGO – There were few parts of the Marengo baseball season the Indians would describe as fun.

There weren’t many victories to celebrate and not many things went their way when they did play well, but that wasn’t going to stop them from having fun playing the game they love.

Even during Monday’s 7-4 season-ending loss to Belvidere in Class 3A Belvidere Regional first-round action, they weren’t going to quit.

Monday’s game summarized what anyone watching Marengo would have seen this year. The Indians trailed by as many as six runs, but regardless of the deficit, the fun they had and the fight they brought each day was present.

“The attitude with the guys could have went south very quick,” Marengo coach Josh Maas said. “They never quit; they came to work hard each day.

I mean, even though there were a lot of tough stretches, they came to work and got better each and every day. They could have just folded and mailed it in in April, but tonight was an example.

Henning reached base twice and threw 11/3 scoreless innings in a 7-4 season-ending loss to Belvidere.

Unearned runs scored of the 11 total in Monday’s game

q AND ANOTHER THING ...

Henning’s unorthodox submarine pitching style was picked up when he was throwing a tennis ball against the brick part of a house in the offseason. Marengo coach Josh Maas called it “the perfect change of pace” out of the bullpen.

They could have folded down six runs, but they battled and battled. As a coach, that’s all you can ask for.”

No high school athlete likes to have that down year and look toward the future of the program. But Marengo (5-26) now gets to do that after a loss Monday – with a starting lineup that had only

Thursday’s semifinal (3) Boylan vs. (6) Genoa-Kingston, 4:30 p.m.

Saturday’s championship Semifinal winners, noon one senior.

Both RBIs by the Indians came from players – sophomore catcher Jake LaSota and junior first baseman Dan Larson – who will return to a team with a fire of not wanting that losing feeling again.

“I think this year is something we can build off of,” said Larson, who was 2 for 3 with a double and run scored.

“We’re going to use this as a stepping stone. It’s hard when you try your hardest and don’t see results, but you have to take a step back sometimes and realize how young we are. It’s hard to see now, but this season could have launched us

into next year.”

When Belvidere (5-24) put up a threespot in the sixth inning, the lead grew to six and seemed like an insurmountable deficit for an Indians team that mustered only two hits until that point against Belvidere starter Austin Revolinski (3-7).

But that never-say-die attitude took full flight as Marengo responded with three runs of its own, but junior John Henning grounded out with runners on first and third to end the rally.

Henning also came in to pitch and retired all four batters he faced.

“It was a tough year. There’s really no way around that,” Henning said.

“We got down early, dealt with some injuries, and just continued to play and battle each game. It’s kind of a bummer to have a season like this when you know you’re capable of doing better.

When you have a season like this, it really shows you what we need to work on, either individually or as a team. It’s definitely a season to build and learn from.”

Marengo got the tying run to the plate in the seventh inning but was unable to score.

In their second Big Northern Conference East Division game, Dittmar was 2 for 2 with a double and home run. Rockford Christian finished the BNC East at 14-0.

Prairie Ridge offensive lineman Jeff Jenkins (right) picked up a scholarship offer from Ball State on Monday. Here he works last summer with Crystal Lake Central’s Wyatt Blake, who recently picked up his first offer from Central Michigan.

Prairie Ridge’s Jeff Jenkins sensed that Ball State offensive line coach Kyle DeVan liked what he saw on a visit to the Crystal Lake school last week.

Jenkins found out how much Monday when he received his first NCAA Division I scholarship offer from the Cardinals. Jenkins tweeted the news Monday morning: “Thankful to my family, teammates and coaches for helping me receive an offer from Ball State! #gocardinals Jenkins (6-foot-4, 240 pounds) started for two years and played on both the offensive and defensive lines as a sophomore, earning Northwest Herald All-Area first-team honors and a spot

on the Illinois High School Football Coaches Association Class 6A All-State team.

The next year will be huge for Jenkins in his recruitment and the list of offers likely will grow quickly.

“I love it,” he said. “It’s really exciting to see what’s going on. You have them show you what they can offer, and knowing you’re going to be able to play football in college now is so exciting.”

College coaches are looking at Jenkins more as an offensive lineman, although what position still is uncertain.

“They haven’t talked a lot about it.

Some coaches may look at me at tackle if I get taller, but if I get wider I could

8 CARDINALS 4, CUBS 3

Grichuk’s walk-off HR beats Cubs

By JOE HARRIS

CARDINALS 4, CUBS 3

The Associated Press ST. LOUIS – Another dominant outing for Cubs starter John Lackey against his former team was spoiled by one swing of the bat.

Matt Adams’ pinch-hit, two-run homer off Lackey in the seventh tied the score, and Randal Grichuk’s first career walk-off homer against reliever Adam Warren (3-1) in the ninth handed the Cubs a 4-3 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals on Monday night.

Lackey, who signed with the Cubs as a free agent from St. Louis, had again silenced the Cardinals’ bats through the first six innings. Previously, Lackey shut out the Cardinals on April 18. Adams’ homer ended a streak of 13 innings of one-run pitching by Lackey against St. Louis.

“When you’re playing tight and close games, low scoring games like that, one pitch can be the difference and it was tonight for sure,” Lackey said.

Lackey gave up three runs in seven economical innings. He struck out nine while throwing just 87 pitches.

“He left the one up to Adams and he didn’t miss it,” Cubs manager Joe Maddon said. “We made two mistakes and paid for it.”

The Cardinals knew Lackey would bring his best.

CUBS NOTES

Heyward healing quickly, might play Tuesday

By GORDON WITTENMYER gwittenmyer@suntimes.com

ST. LOUIS – Jason Heyward, the Cubs’ Gold Glove right fielder, has improved quickly enough from his bruised rib-and-hip area that he might return to the lineup as soon as Tuesday’s second game of this week’s series against the Cardinals.

“It’s not impossible,” manager Joe Maddon said after Heyward seemed to fare well in a vigorous pregame workload Monday, including two sessions of batting practice. “Possibly by the end of the series, yes.”

Said Heyward: “If it was up to me, I‘d be playing right now. I love how I’m feeling.”

Heyward has been sidelined since suffering the injury to his right side during a frightening head-first slide into the wall Friday night in San Francisco after making a spectacular running

catch.

The Cubs had looked at Thursday’s scheduled off day as a way to get him extra time to recover if his progress dictated a more cautious approach.

But Heyward said Monday the only lingering issue is a “very dull” pain in the Jason Heyward bruised area.

“We’ll see what they say and allow me to do,” said Heyward, who’s targeting a return for the series against his former Cards teammates.

“All the games are important, I feel like, and division games, obviously. So I want to play.”

It’s better than even the biggest optimists in the organization would have predicted after Heyward’s crash.

“My first reaction was, ‘Great catch,’ ” general manager Jed Hoyer said. “My

second reaction was, ‘That looks like a guy that’s going to be out for a while.’

“I think we did dodge a bullet.”

Lame-duck status quo: Hoyer suggested no imminent movement on a contract extension for team president Theo Epstein and other key front office personnel in the final years of their contracts.

“I think we’re all happy, and we’re in the right place,” the lame-duck GM said. “And we’re confident things will get done.”

Epstein and chairman Tom Ricketts have said repeatedly since the offseason that they’re on the same page and expect to get a deal done without any hangups.

Flyin’ Hawaiian grounded: Shane Victorino, the former All-Star and Gold Glove center fielder the Cubs invited to spring training on a minor-league deal, was released from the organization Monday.

He was 7-for-30 with three walks and

three extra-base hits in nine games for Triple-A Iowa.

“We didn’t have a spot for him,” Hoyer said of a decision that essentially came down to Victorino or Matt Szczur (who was activated from the DL Saturday). “Given his career and the fact that he’s major-league ready, having him sit down there and bide his time didn’t make a lot of sense. He should find a job.”

Bonus time for Heyward: An added benefit to the down time for Heyward is the break it gives his right wrist, which has been a recurring point of irritation since hurting it on a swing in the batting cage the first week of the season.

He took a few days off because of it early this month, but the injury hasn’t been serious enough to put him out for an extended stretch.

“That’s going to be annoying either way,” he said. “But it’s nice to catch a little breather with that.”

Hitting coach Steverson confident

By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN

dvanschouwen@suntimes.com

CHICAGO – The first-place White Sox are in the middle of an important four-game division series against the Cleveland Indians. From there they head to Kansas City for another one. The road is unrelenting after that with series against the New York Mets and Detroit Tigers next week.

Jose Abreu, feel free to jump on board at any time. At some point, the Sox Jose Abreu are going to need you at your best.

The centerpiece of their lineup in his first two major league seasons, Abreu has not gone off yet in 2016, which goes to show the value of pitching, defense and some timely hitting.

The Sox are waiting patiently for Abreu, who earned a benching or mental health day – call it what you will – after he went 1 for 11 in three games. He returned to action in the Sox’s 7-6 victory over the Indians in the first game of a doubleheader Monday at U.S. Cellular Field.

While falling into some of the same traps that dropped his slash line to an un-Abreu like .241/.315/.397, he also showed flashes with a hard line out to left and a double that was only his 13th extra-base hits. He has 27 RBIs and had reached base in 24 of his past 27 games, so he hasn’t been terrible.

But he hasn’t been the Jose Abreu the Sox need him to be, either.

“I wouldn’t use the word ‘struggling,’ ” hitting coach Todd Steverson said Monday. “For his standards, yeah. He’s found a way to maintain a decent average but he knows he’s getting himself out more than he should be. It hasn’t been about the pitchers, it’s been about him and being able to stick to a plan.

He’s well aware of the things he’s been doing. It’s easy to see it.”

Opposing pitchers have taken a

textbook approach to attacking him.

Hard stuff in, breaking stuff away.

And it’s working.

“The question for hitters is, if he comes in, is it a strike?” Steverson said. “Come in all you want, but can you live there and can you live there with a strike is a different story.”

In the third inning in Game 1, with two on and two out, Abreu swung at a Mike Clevinger fastball that was about 6 inches inside and hit a soft pop to second baseman Jason Kipnis. In the fifth it was more of the same, a pop to shortstop on another inside fastball with two runners on.

“It’s no secret, guys are throwing him a lot tougher on the inner third of the plate,” Steverson said. “For me, my eyeballs tell me not a lot of them are strikes. It gets back to discipline. What do I want to hit and what am I waiting to hit. If that’s it, then be ready.”

Manager Robin Ventura penciled Abreu in the fifth spot in both games Monday. He had gambled Sunday by sitting him against the Royals, and he won when the Sox came away with a 3-2 win to avoid a series sweep.

“I think that’s the job,” Ventura said. “You’re trying to help guys get through their little struggles. When they’re going hot, you don’t have to worry about it. But when they struggle, it’s about being able to give a guy a day off, keeping their spirits up, giving them a pat on the back, kick in the ass, whatever. That’s part of doing this and you’re trying to do it every day and help them understand it’s a long way to go.

“It doesn’t mean the whole season is going to end up this way.”

A fourth of the way into it, Abreu trudges on. He grounded out to first base for the third out of the first inning of Game 2, with two runners on base.

“Jose wants to win and he knows his at-bats matter for us,” Steverson said. “He doesn’t want to be an out.

CHICAGO – Erik Johnson gave up three home runs, including one to Juan Uribe, and the Cleveland Indians gained a split of a doubleheader with a 5-1 victory Monday night over the White Sox before 18,323 fans at U.S. Cellular Field.

Cody Anderson (1-3), who entered with a 7.99 ERA but is 3-0 lifetime with a 1.83 ERA against the Sox, featured a good changeup and struck out nine and walked none while allowing one run on five hits over seven innings for the Indians (23-20). Johnson (0-2, 6.94), called up from Triple-A Charlotte to make the start and sent back down after the game, struck out five and walked three while allowing six hits.

The doubleheader included a makeup game from a postponed game during the first week of the season.

Jose Ramirez homered in the second, Rajai Davis went deep on a 3-0 pitch with a runner on in the fifth and Uribe, who played on the Sox’ 2005 World Series champion, homered in the seventh.

The Sox (27-19) got a run on Melky Cabrera’s RBI single that scored Todd Frazier in the third.

Lawrie perks up: Brett Lawrie broke out of a 2-for-23 slump with a tiebreaking three-run homer against Mike Clevinger and reached base five times in the Sox’ 7-6 victory in Game 1. The homer was Lawrie’s first of his six at U.S. Cellular Field.

Lawrie also singled, stole a base and scored a run, and he matched a career high with three walks to hike his walk total to 22, only six less than he drew all of last season with the Oakland Athletics.

The Sox extended the lead to 7-3 when Austin Adams walked Austin Jackson with the bases loaded in the seventh. But their bullpen gave up three in the eighth -- Matt Albers allowed his fourth homer since May 5, this one by Jose Ramirez.

David Robertson gave up a leadoff walk in the ninth but struck out Marlon Byrd and Michael Martinez before retiring Carlos Santana on a ground ball with the tying run on second for his 12th save.

Smokin’ Todd Frazier: Frazier’s home run in the first inning of Game 1 was his American League-leading 14th. He also singled and walked twice in the opener, singled and doubled in his first two atbats of Game 2 and is batting .351 with seven homers and 16 RBI in his last 14 games.

Latos, for the win: After four straight starts without going past 51/3 innings,

10 TENNIS: FRENCH OPEN

Wawrinka avoids historic loss; Murray trails Monday in Paris

By HOWARD FENDRICH The Associated Press

PARIS – So, Stan Wawrinka was asked, were you aware that in the long history of the French Open, no defending champion ever had lost in the first round?

“No,” Wawrinka replied quickly, his arms crossed, the hint of a smirk on his scruffy face. After waiting a comedic beat, he added with a chuckle: “And it’s still not the case, so it’s good.”

Sure, by then, it was easy for the 2015 champion at Roland Garros to kid around, because he barely avoided making the sort of history no athlete would embrace. Eventually warming up on a gray, chilly afternoon, and twice coming back from a set down, Wawrinka edged 59th-ranked Lukas Rosol of the Czech Republic, 4-6, 6-1, 3-6, 6-3, 6-4, Monday to sneak into the second round.

“I know that physically I’m stronger than he is, and I knew that he was going to decline a little bit,” the No. 3-seeded Wawrinka said. “That’s exactly what happened.”

Something similar transpired several hours later, when No. 2 Andy Murray faced an even greater deficit, dropping

Still plenty of air in ‘Deflategate’ court case

NEW YORK – Tom Brady’s lawyers asked a federal appeals court for a new hearing before an expanded panel of judges, telling them Monday it is not just a silly dispute over underinflated footballs – it’s the basic right to a fair process that is shared by all union workers.

Setting the stage for the “Deflategate” scandal to stretch into its third season, and putting Brady’s four-game suspension back in the hands of the courts, the players’ union asked all 13 judges of the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to hear the case that a three-judge panel decided in the league’s favor.

In the appeal filed Monday, Brady’s lawyers said commissioner Roger Goodell’s “biased, agenda-driven, and self-approving ‘appeal’ ruling must be vacated.”

The 2-1 decision by the panel, they wrote, “will fuel unpredictability in labor arbitrations everywhere and make labor arbitration increasingly capricious and undesirable for employers and employees alike.”

The NFL had no comment.

Warriors’ Green fined $25,000, not suspended for groin kick

NEW YORK – Draymond Green was fined $25,000 but not suspended by the NBA on Monday for kicking Oklahoma City center Steven Adams in the groin.

The league also upgraded the foul to a flagrant 2, which would have resulted in an automatic ejection had officials given it that ruling when it happened. That moved him closer to an automatic suspension for accumulation of flagrant foul points.

But Green will be on the court when the Warriors try to even the Western Conference finals at 2-2 Tuesday night at Oklahoma City.

NHL Senate-USOC exchange concerns, plans about Zika virus in Rio

A group of Democratic senators is concerned about how the Zika virus might affect American athletes this summer at the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.

Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., was one of 11 senators to sign a letter sent Monday to the U.S. Olympic Committee asking what steps it is taking to protect athletes against the spread of the mosquito-borne virus.

The letter cited recent information from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention showing a link between the disease and a birth defect, microcephaly, a condition in which babies are born with undersized brains and skulls.

USOC CEO Scott Blackmun responded by outlining steps the federation has taken, including the forming of an infectious disease advisory group with doctors who are available to answer athletes’ questions about the virus.

Blackmun said the USOC has created a medical emergency response plan to “provide pre-identified medical management strategies for any illness or injury in Rio.”

Tony Gwynn’s family sues tobacco industry over star’s death

SAN DIEGO – Tony Gwynn’s widow and two children filed a lawsuit Monday seeking to hold the tobacco industry accountable for the Hall of Famer’s death.

The suit was filed in San Diego Superior Court by Alicia Gwynn and her children, Tony Jr. and Anisha Gwynn-Jones.

The suit says Gwynn started dipping as a 17-year-old freshman ballplayer at San Diego State. He died of cancer of the right parotid salivary gland June 16, 2014, at age 54.

The lawsuit said Gwynn dipped in his lower right cheek for more than 30 years.

Bears receiver Kevin White warms up before a game against the 49ers on Dec. 6 at Soldier Field. White, who missed his entire rookie season with an injury, will be on the field Tueday when the Bears begin OTAs.

White’s return takes another step in OTAs

By KEVIN FISHBAIN

kfishbain@profootballweekly.com Kevin White had to hit several milestones in his rehab to get to the point of being 100 percent. Now he faces several more, such as his first padded practice in Bourbonnais and his first preseason game, building up to his NFL debut Sept. 11 in Houston.

On Tuesday, White will be on the field with the Bears taking another step when the team begins OTAs and phase three of the offseason training program. Wednesday’s session will be open to the media.

It was the end of OTAs last year when White suffered the stress fracture in his shin that eventually required surgery and kept him out for his entire rookie season. His return to the field is a focal point as these practices begin to see how the team manages him and how he performs.

The Bears’ brass has expressed sentiments of both confidence in what White can do on the field and a lack of concern of any adjustment to the game after missing a year. “… I can tell you about his character, and he’s everything that we expected,” offensive coordinator Dowell Loggains said at the rookie minicamp.

“He’s a hard worker. His attitude is contagious because he is very positive; he doesn’t have bad days.”

Receivers coach Curtis Johnson compared White to two pretty darn good receivers he coached at the University of Miami – Andre Johnson and Reggie Wayne.

“He’s a very, very smart guy,” Johnson said of White. “He knows what he’s

doing. I just can’t wait to see him. … I think he’s going to do magnificent.”

Here are three other story lines to watch during the Bears’ OTAs: Where the rookies fit in: It likely won’t be until Bourbonnais before any rookie consistently gets first-team reps, but we might get an idea of how close a rookie is to starting based on team drills in OTAs. Cody Whitehair figures to have the best chance if he can win the left guard job. Jonathan Bullard should have an opportunity to be a starter in the base defense. How high can Jordan Howard climb the running back depth chart? Can cornerback Deiondre’ Hall make his way into the top three corners? Does Deon Bush make it two years in a row the Bears start a rookie at safety?

The outside linebackers: We’ve got a few things to watch here, starting with top pick Leonard Floyd and how he acclimates to the NFL game in his first reps. Willie Young reportedly is talking contract extension, as he enters the final year of his deal. Lamarr Houston came on strong late last season and still is under contract through 2018. And the leader of the defense, Pernell McPhee, returns after arthroscopic knee surgery in the winter.

Receivers without Jeffery: Alshon Jeffery is not expected to report until the mandatory minicamp (a story line in itself), which means more reps for White and two receivers coming off injuries – Eddie Royal (knee) and Marquess Wilson (foot). This is a position that will feature lots of competition for roster spots, too, between Marc Mariani, Josh Bellamy, Deonte Thompson and seventh-rounder Daniel Braverman.

WASHINGTON – NFL officials improperly sought to influence a government study on the link between football and brain disease, said a senior House Democrat in a report issued Monday.

New Jersey Rep. Frank Pallone said the league tried to strong-arm the National Institutes of Health into taking the project away from a researcher who the NFL feared was biased.

The NFL had agreed to donate $30 million to the NIH to fund brain research but backed out after the institutes went ahead with a $16 million grant to prominent Boston University researcher Robert Stern. He’s a leading expert on the link between football and brain diseases such as chronic traumatic encephalopathy. Taxpayers are instead bearing the cost.

The NFL denied Pallone’s findings.

“The NFL rejects the allegations,” NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said in a statement Monday. The league acknowledged it had raised concerns about the study and a potential conflict of interest involving Stern, but

McCarthy said the NFL had communicated its concerns through appropriate channels. It noted the league stands behind its $30 million promise and the government ultimately made the decision on funding the study in question.

Some of the members of the NFL’s Head, Neck and Spine Committee who opposed Stern also had sought the grant.

Critics say the NFL has long downplayed the link between football and brain damage, alleging an NFL committee on brain injury had long ignored or minimized the link between repetitive head trauma and brain damage.

“This investigation confirms the NFL inappropriately attempted to use its unrestricted gift as leverage to steer funding away from one of its critics,” Pallone said. “Since its research agreement with NIH was clear that it could not weigh in on the grant selection process, the NFL should never have tried to influence that process.”

Pallone initiated the investigation after ESPN reported that the NFL had backed out of funding the NIH study because of its objections to Stern.
