American Kennel Club’s 2016 dog breed rankings released NEW YORK – Labrador retrievers have extended their record run as America’s most popular dog breed, leading the American Kennel Club’s new rankings for a 26th straight year. But Rottweilers are enjoying renewed favor, and some other dogs have been striding up the popularity ladder. A closer look at some of the rungs revealed Tuesday:

THE TOP 10

In 2013, Labs grabbed the record for the longest stretch at No. 1, and they haven’t let go.

Affable, relatively easy to train and eager to please, they’re popular partly because “you don’t have to be an expert dog owner to own a Lab,” AKC Vice President Gina DiNardo said.

But for those seeking more than a family pet, the breed has proved itself at everything from bomb sniffing to guiding the blind.

The rest of the top 10, in order: German shepherds, golden retrievers, bulldogs, beagles, French bulldogs, poodles, Rottweilers, Yorkshire terriers and boxers.

The stats reflect puppies and other newly registered dogs in the AKC’s 189 recognized breeds.

They don’t encompass the nation’s millions of mixed-breed dogs or such deliberate hybrids as Labradoodles and maltipoos.

WHERE IT’S AT

ROTTWEILERS’ RISE

At No. 8, the Rottweiler posted its highest ranking in almost 20 years. Renowned for their loyalty, confidence and protective instincts, Rotties were America’s second-most-popular dog in 1997 but faded to 17th within a decade, as some small breeds surged for a time. But Rottweilers muscled their way back into the top 10 in 2015.

Alexandra Niles is among the new Rottweiler enthusiasts. Seeking a big, sturdy dog, she got Talos four years ago, promising his breeder she’d learn to show him. He’s now a show champion, is working toward a therapy-dog certificate and competes in obedience and other dog sports. He has even herded sheep.

“They aren’t a breed for everyone,” said Niles, of Scotch Plains, New Jersey. “But whatever you put into them, they give back to you a millionfold.”

MOVERS AND SHAKERS

Several breeds in the top 10 have been there for a decade or more, but French bulldogs were ranked just 36th a decade ago. The quizzical, push-faced dogs had been out of the top 10 for nearly a century before making it back the past two years, while their larger bulldog cousins have hit their highest-ever ranking.

INCUMBENT VS. CHALLENGERS Five vie for two open terms on MCC’s seven-member board

By NATE LINHART

nlinhart@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – The League of Women Voters of McHenry County hosted a forum for McHenry County College Board of Trustees candidates on Tuesday. This was their last forum before the April 4 consolidated election.

The five candidates – David Schenk, Thomas Allen, George Lowe, Diane Evertsen and incumbent Linda Liddell – spoke to an audience at MCC’s Luecht Conference Center, answering questions about budget concerns, their priorities for the college and MCC’s recent layoffs.

The candidates are running for two open seats, which are six-year terms, on the seven-member board.

A hot topic at the forum involved the MCC trustees recently approving cutting staff, faculty and administration at a special board meeting. The approval resulted in the elimination of 14 full- and part-time positions and the reduction of five positions from full time to part time.

Each candidate was asked what specific actions they would take to avoid additional layoffs.

“I think you have to bring everyone to the table and see if any cuts could be made voluntarily,” Allen said.

Lowe said it would take a lot of work by the staying groups in the college to come up with a solution.

“I would work with the faculty, with unions, before coming to the same conclusion that [the board] came to,” said Lowe, who previously served as an MCC trustee.

Schenk said that although layoffs are never an easy decision, he’d make sure the board would come to calculated conclusions.

“If we’re continuing to face declining student population (and) declining contributions from the state, I think it will be difficult to avoid further cuts, given that circumstance,” Schenk said.

Evertsen said her strategy would be “working cooperatively with other community colleges,” and Liddell addressed the question by talking about MCC’s strategic plan.

“In that strategic plan you really

walk through all the different elements impacting education today. In it is also discussed how we will manage faculty. ... I think the strategic plan is probably the place we need to go to first,” Liddell said.

Another issue addressed was how candidates plan to fix school budget problems.

All five candidates said increasing taxes would not be a solution.

“Tax increases are absolutely not the No. 1 choice for any of us,” Liddell said.

“I absolutely would not support increasing taxes,” Evertsen said.

“I think our taxpayers are overburdened as it is. … I think what we have to do is look at all parts of the budget to see where we can cut down to shore up in a new area.”

Lowe agreed, saying that taxes are “probably a no-no.”

Meanwhile, Allen said he wants

FOX RIVER GROVE

Owner of banquet hall plans on opening in late summer

By HANNAH PROKOP

hprokop@shawmedia.com FOX RIVER GROVE – A new banquet hall in Fox River Grove is expected to open by the end of the summer at the former Five O’Clock Steakhouse location.

The Avante Banquets and Conference Center, 1050 E. Route 14, will feature an estimated 16,000-square-foot building on about 11 acres, developer George Kalkounos said.

Kalkounos, who is the owner of Chicago Prime Steakhouse in Schaumburg, said the space will be upscale and host weddings as well as other private events.

There will be one room that can be divided to hold two different parties at one time, he said, with each holding about 250 guests.

The property also has a lake in the back that will be landscaped and have a gazebo near it, and possibly a permanent tent, Kalkounos said.

“It’s going to be the most beautiful and most well-constructed banquet facility in the northwest suburbs,” Kalkounos said.

The space has been vacant since Five O’Clock Steakhouse burned down in 2009. In May, the village approved a business district for the site to help develop it.

The district allows for an additional 1 percent sales tax to be applied to purchases made on the property and would not affect any other businesses in the

The Avante Banquets and Conference Center is under construction March 15, in Fox River Grove. The 16,000-square-foot building expects a summer opening and plans to host weddings and other private events. There also is a lake in the back that will be landscaped, as well as a gazebo nearby. village.

The tax collected will be used to reimburse the developer for eligible expenses such as adding another entrance off Route 14, Fox River Grove Village Administrator Derek Soderholm said.

Avante Banquets is expected to bring in $20,000 to $30,000 in sales tax a year, Soderholm said.

He said the developer also intends to build additional businesses on the site

By HANNAH PROKOP

hprokop@shawmedia.com PRAIRIE GROVE – Retired Lt. Gen. Everett H. Pratt Jr. dedicated his time to helping others, whether it be his family, the village of Prairie Grove or other veterans. He died March 15 at age 73.

“He lived to serve, and to do something for his community and his country,” said Thomas Pratt, his son.

Everett Pratt was born in Covington, Georgia, and entered the U.S. Air Force in 1964 as a graduate of the Emory University Reserve Office Training Corps program in Atlanta, according to his obituary.

He served three tours of duty as a U.S. Air Force fighter pilot in Vietnam, earning the Silver Star for gallantry in action.

Altogether, Everett Pratt tallied more than 4,000 flight hours in F-4s, F-16s and T-38s, and earned a number of other military recognitions.

He also was chosen as one of the Northwest Herald’s 2017 Everyday Heroes after being nominated by peo-

ple in the community.

Everett Pratt retired from active duty in 1997, moved to Prairie Grove from Texas in 2002 and worked for Northrop Grumman until 2009.

He was actively involved in a number of veterans-related agencies, including Chicago-based Leave No Veteran Behind, Disabled American Veterans and McHenry-based TLS Veterans, for which he completed a term as president of the board in February.

TLS Veterans Executive Director Laura Franz said Everett Pratt helped reshape the organization when, as board president, he helped fill the vacancy for executive director by hiring Franz.

“He knew there were some challenges ahead of us, but he viewed it as a fun thing – not a negative thing in any way, shape or form,” Franz said.

He was efficient with his work, Franz said, and always had empathy for veterans.

“He never forgot what that was like to be that frontline person or someone who was going through

struggles,” Franz said.

Everett Pratt also was a court-appointed special advocate for children who have endured abuse or neglect.

For about six years, he served as a Prairie Grove trustee, Prairie Grove Village President Stan Duda said.

“Everett was absolutely a great board member to the village of Prairie Grove,” Duda said via email. “He was a man that spent time reviewing and understanding the issues, was fair and objective and had the residents’ best interest at heart looking at the value of various services across our community relative to the cost of those services.”

As a father, Everett Pratt was always supportive, Thomas Pratt said.

Everett Pratt’s family includes his wife, Joyce; sons, Thomas and Stephen Pratt; and granddaughter, Maeve Pratt.

Everett Pratt’s funeral was Tuesday. Donations can be made in memory of him to TLS Veterans, www. tlsveterans.org, or to Leave No Veteran Behind, www.leavenoveteranbehind.org.

WOODSTOCK – A Woodstock man denied allegations that he fired a handgun at a dartboard during a party, damaging a neighbor’s vehicle.

Paul F. Smith, 31, was arraigned Tuesday in McHenry County court and pleaded not guilty to reckless discharge of a firearm, a Class 4 felony; two counts of unlawful possession of a weapon by a felon, a Class 2 felony; and criminal damage to property, a Class 4 felony.

If convicted of the most serious charge, Smith faces up to 14 years in prison.

He remains in McHenry County Jail custody in lieu of posting 10 percent of his $20,000 bond, according to jail records.

Investigation into the incident began after Woodstock police were called in February to the 400 block of Center Street for the report of criminal damage to a vehicle, and a responding officer found that the vehicle’s damage was caused by a bullet.

The police department’s investiga-

tions division became involved and determined that the bullet was from a residence immediately next door.

Detectives found that one of the residents at a nearby apartment had a “social gathering” over the weekend, and a small caliber handgun was intentionally fired at a dartboard.

Smith was identified as a suspect after several interviews, police have said.

Further investigation found that the bullet reportedly traveled through the dartboard, exited through a winPaul F. Smith dow and into the neighbor’s vehicle, which was parked in a carport. No one was injured, police said Smith was charged with reckless discharge of a firearm and criminal damage to property, but additional charges were filed based on his previous felony conviction.

Smith also was convicted of unlawful possession of a controlled substance in 2015.

NU basketball proves anything’s possible

LOCAL BRIEF

Maybe now I can believe that anything is possible.

Sure, it’s been something I’ve said to myself over and over again but deep down dismissed as wishful thinking – about my sports teams, at least.

If there is a culture of winning, then there also is a culture of losing. And, sadly, I grew up in a culture in which all of my favorite teams were not accustomed to winning.

In the 1970s and 1980s, my family followed the Chicago Cubs and the Chicago White Sox. Neither team was setting the world on fire. The Cubs, however, would get our hopes up, only to dash them over and over again.

We also were big Chicago Bears fans.

At least we had the 1985 Bears. I was in high school then, and we celebrated it like it was 1999. And we still do.

Then in the late ’80s, I went to college at Northwestern. While I was there, the football team was in the midst of a 14year homecoming game losing streak.

The only Big Ten team that we beat consistently in those years was Illinois.

It was so bad, we students would bring marshmallows to games to heave them at each other for entertainment as we chanted our dignity-preserving (or so we thought) cheer: “That’s all right / That’s OK / You’re going to work for us

CRYSTAL LAKE – Police stopped 36 vehicles for a variety of traffic violations during the St. Patrick’s Day weekend as part of a crackdown. The Crystal Lake Police Department participated in the Illinois Department of Transportation’s Sustained Traffic Enforcement Program from Friday through Monday. Illinois law enforcement agencies took part in the campaign to save lives by encouraging motorists to refrain from drinking and driving and to buckle up. Of the 36 stops, police issued 29 citations, including 18 for unlawful use of an electronic communications device, five for speeding, three for seat belt violations, two for other moving violations and equipment, and one for driving without insurance. Police also arrested one person for driving with a suspended license, according to a news release from the police department. Part of the statewide “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” and “Click It or Ticket” campaigns, this recent traffic enforcement operation was made possible by federal highway safety funds administered by the Illinois Department of Transportation’s Bureau of Safety Programs.

VIEWS Joan Oliver someday.” Not classy, but losing will do that. At this point, the Northwestern Wildcat football team hadn’t been to a bowl game since 1949. The men’s basketball team had never been to the NCAA tournament. And the prospects weren’t looking good for any of my teams. So I had to look elsewhere.

In the 1990s, I became a Chicago Bulls fan. Then again, a lot of us did, because these were the heady days of Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen.

Winning was sweet. Then, right around the time I was getting married, the Northwestern football team did what I never thought was possible: It beat Lou Holtz’s Notre Dame team. Then it won the Big Ten title and went, wonder of wonders, to the Rose Bowl. It was such a historic season, one that I will remember for a long, long time.

The bubble burst when Keyshawn Johnson and USC Trojans beat the ’Cats, 42-31. But even then, I was ecstatic that the team got there. Because, honestly, I never thought it would happen.

After that, the football team would

make a habit of getting into postseason bowl games. Unfortunately, they would lose them. That streak finally would end in 2013, when the ’Cats won the Gator Bowl against Mississippi State, 34-20.

Meanwhile, the Cubs continued to not win the World Series and the Wildcat basketball team continued to miss the NCAA Tournament. Those seemed like sure things in the “never going to happen” department.

Then, lo and behold, the Cubs pulled it off, winning last year’s World Series to end a 108-year drought. I still have to pinch myself on that one.

And the ’Cats? Well, not only did they make the NCAA Tournament for the first time this year, but they also won their first-round game against Vanderbilt. And they came mighty close to pulling off an epic upset of No. 1 seed Gonzaga. As an alum, I couldn’t be prouder of how they represented my school and the Big Ten conference.

Maybe anything really is possible for my sports teams. Hey, Chicago Bears, I’m looking at you. How about another Super Bowl championship?

Registration open for Udder Century bicycle ride

• MCC

MCC candidate had something different to say about how they would help the college.

“I would like to see more of an effort given to eighth-grade classes and then to the high schools to try and show parents what a gem this school is,” Allen said. “… If we get more people involved, we increase student enrollment, which increases the money coming in we can work with.”

Schenk suggested looking toward donations from the private sector to help augment the budget.

Continued from page A3 to see more business partnerships formed to help with the costs, and Schenk said the college also needs to look at reducing expenditures.

“As we look at things such as online learning, there are further ways to leverage technology to lower the cost of student attendance,” Schenk said.

In terms of their priorities, each

“And on another front, can we expand on the student base and outreach more to the students at the high school level,” Schenk said.

Evertsen echoed her previous idea of creating more cooperative efforts with other community colleges.

“If we can work cooperatively with [other community colleges] … as well as working with area businesses that can have trainings for our students, our students will know exactly what they have to know in order to get employment in those areas,” Evertsen said.

As for Lowe and Liddell, they said they agree with MCC’s plan to build a new $16.8 million science center and will focus on using that to bring in more students.

“The science facility is going to be helping with our [science, technology, engineering and mathematics] development,” Liddell said.

“We need biology labs, chemistry labs, and I hope we get this built,” Lowe said. “I hope we find enough wealthy people that will come forward and will help us out on this.”

I-90 interchange and city water discussed

By BRITTANY KEEPERMAN

bly the only one on City Council that has been hesitant through the whole process. I hope one day somebody proves me wrong, but for now, I am not a big fan.”

Nicole Knake said he doesn’t DeBoer think the interchange would bring much shortterm value to the city, but he hopes that further down the line Marengo could see long-term benefit. Regelin said he thinks the project would bring jobs to town and Raymond is a growth opportunity Knake for the next generation of Marengo residents.

The city’s water treatment plant was another topic of discussion at the forum. Candidates differed on how they would handle what residents see as a problem. Transparency and the plant’s functionality both were addressed.

“No one in the city seems to know what is going on down there except for a select few,” Knake said. “People have

questions. Hammortree wanted to do a committee meeting, and no one wanted to sign off, and I think that raises red flags. I think we should have the engineers, the City Council, the wastewater operators together and give the people the answers they deserve.”

DeBoer said the plant isn’t operating at full capacity because it was built based on a growth trend and not enough water is flowing into it. Hammortree has actively campaigned on the City Council for months to get operators and engineers to the meetings to answer questions, and he voiced similar concerns at the forum.

“We were promised we would get a state-of-the-art treatment plant,” he said. “That is so far from the truth it’s not even funny.”

Regelin said, if elected, he would be vigilant and stay on top of the situation, but said he also recognizes that the issue is multifaceted.

“There is a lot we have to fix in Marengo. We know that,” he said. “If we don’t find a way to bring in more money to pay for these things that are breaking down, we are in big trouble.”

MARENGO – Four candidates will face off in Marengo’s City Council race April 4.

Two incumbents are running against two challengers for seats on the Marengo City Council. Ward 4 Alderman Dennis Hammortree is running against former council member James Regelin, and Ward 1 Alderwoman Nicole DeBoer faces Raymond Knake.

Regelin resigned from his seat as Ward 1 alderman in April 2016 after about a year in office because he moved outside of the ward’s zone.

Topics at a recent candidate forum covered the city’s water, future development – particularly related to the proposed Interstate 90 interchange at Route 23 – and a downtown strip.

The proposed $32 million I-90 interchange at Route 23 in Marengo is expected to trigger an economic wind-

fall for McHenry County and the city. The Illinois Tollway Authority plans to replace the overpass on Route 23 and will pay for a portion of the project.

Dennis Some candidates said Hammortree that the proposed interchange would help the city’s tax base, which would help residents.

DeBoer said that planning has been done to address concerns that traffic would be routed through the city’s downJames town.

Regelin “We have done a lot of pre-planning that people aren’t aware of,” she said. “We can keep Marengo a quaint community while increasing the tax base. … I do think it will help relieve the burden on our taxpayers.”

Hammortree said he has been skeptical that the interchange will do much to change the city’s economic state.

“Putting all our eggs in one basket makes no sense,” he said. “I am proba-

Lakemoor lawyer suspended for misusing retainer funds

By JORDYN REILAND

jreiland@shawmedia.com LAKEMOOR – A Lakemoor attorney is suspended for two years after she misused funds intended for security retainers and filing fees, and neglected eight different client matters, the Illinois Supreme Court announced this week.

Magdalene R. Wilson, who was licensed in 2013 and practices at 1215 Bay Road, Lakemoor, neglected eight clients’ matters between 2014 and 2015. In five of those matters, Wilson deposited funds paid specifically for security retainers and filing fees into her personal account, and then used the funds for personal or business purposes, according to court records. Additionally, several clients tried to contact Wilson, 32, on numerous occasions during that time period and were unable to reach her.

Wilson represents several juvenile and criminal defendants in legal matters. Her suspension, recommended by the Attorney Registration and Disciplinary Commission, is effective April 10 for two years and until further order of the court. Wilson’s suspension could be stayed after 90 days if she pays $12,119 in

restitution to previous clients before the 90 days are up. She also will be required to complete two years of probation.

A medical expert involved in the case said that Wilson’s misconduct occurred when she was suffering from opioid use disorder, which she now is in treatment for, according to court records.

Wilson also was ordered by the court as part of the terms of her probation to not consume any alcohol or unprescribed controlled substances, attend at least two Alcoholics Anonymous and/ or Illinois Lawyers Assistance Program meetings a week, continue any and all treatment recommendations by her doctors and treatment providers, and submit to random drug tests, among other requirements.

The Attorney Registration and Disciplinary Commission is an Illinois Supreme Court agency that investigates alleged conduct by Illinois attorneys, holds hearings on specific charges and recommends discipline when warranted. The commission is composed of seven members, three of which are not lawyers.

Calls made to Wilson’s attorney were not returned Tuesday.

STATE Budget woes affect Peoria abuse prevention center

By CHRIS KAERGARD (Peoria) Journal Star

PEORIA – The Peoria County mother first came to the Center for Prevention of Abuse more than a decade ago to get aid for herself and her infant daughter.

From the moment she set foot in the center, the family received it – from an emergency phone to assistance with filing an order for protection. A counselor from the center came to her home and helped her craft a safety plan to protect herself from her abuser, and employees gave her continuous support through a multi-year court battle, from coping techniques to literally holding her hand through proceedings. And that help has continued.

But that mother is one of many former and current clients concerned with the financial straits the center finds itself in as the state of Illinois budget impasse drags on.

At a time when the state has $12.9 billion in unpaid

It’s “an extraordinary amount” to learn will be missing, center executive director Carol Merna said – more than the organization received last year during its biggest fundraiser, the annual duck race.

While stable finances and reserves leading up to the 21-month-and-counting budget impasse have allowed the organization that serves six central Illinois counties to continue operations without cutting programs and staff to stay afloat, “that stability has been our only stability because the state has not provided us with any during that time,” Merna said. “They have owed us money and then they have been made due.

Administration officials said they don’t know the final cost of the plan, but that it will come from existing Department of Innovation and Technology resources.

The administration has proposed $900 million for all information technology services in the state’s next budget.

But officials said an additional $250 million was needed to connect agency systems, much of which has already been appropriated. Rauner said a cost-cutting pension overhaul could be one source of funding.

Each day that passes without a budget or an infusion of funds from elsewhere creates worries at an organization that right now is, at best, “OK. Teetering on OK. But OK,” Merna said.

To ensure their continued ability to respond to families like that one – the center sees roughly 5,000 clients a year and provides preventive education for 33,000 schoolchildren annually – officials there on Tuesday are launching an online fundraiser with the theme “Be the Bridge,” and encouraging supporters to craft homemade signs with a heart and half-circle bridge over the phrase #iamthebridge to post on social media to encourage others to donate to center operations via Facebook or the group’s website, www.centerforpreventionofabuse.org.

Gorsuch: No promises and no one above law

By MARK SHERMAN and ERICA WERNER The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch declared Tuesday that he’s made no promises to Donald Trump or anyone else about how he’ll vote on abortion or other issues and testified he’ll have no trouble as a justice holding anyone accountable, including the president who picked him.

Gorsuch also called Trump’s attacks on federal judges “disheartening” and “demoralizing.”

During the long second day of his Senate confirmation hearings, Gorsuch made two other notable statements in response to questions from members of the Judiciary Committee, and both also related to Trump, who nominated him.

Republican Lindsey Graham of South Carolina asked Gorsuch whether Trump had asked him to overturn Roe v. Wade, the case establishing a right to abortion, and what he would have done had Trump asked him to do so.

“Senator, I would have walked out the door,” Gorsuch replied. “That’s not what judges do.” Later in the day, Gorsuch acknowledged that he and Trump discussed abortion during his Supreme Court interview, but only how divisive an issue it is. Their conversation touched on abortion, Gorsuch said, after Trump bemoaned his loss of Gorsuch’s native Colorado in November.

When Vermont Democratic Sen. Patrick Leahy asked Gorsuch whether a president is free to ignore laws on national security grounds, Gorsuch replied that “nobody is above the law in this country, and that includes the president of the United States.”

Some Democratic senators who are not on the Judiciary Committee called for a pause in the confirmation process after FBI Director James Comey said Monday that the bureau is investigating Russian meddling in last year’s election and potential ties between Trump associates and Russia.

Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren said

on Twitter that while the investigation continues, “lifetime court appointments can wait.”

Judiciary Committee chairman Chuck Grassley dismissed the idea as ridiculous.

On a day mostly devoid of drama, Gorsuch batted away Democrats’ efforts to get him to reveal his views on abortion, guns and other controversial issues, insisting he keeps “an open mind for the entire process” when he makes rulings. His comments were similar in response to questions from majority Republicans as they tried to help him highlight his neutrality in the face of Democratic attempts to link him to Trump.

The abortion question was especially pointed because Trump himself has insisted he would appoint “pro-life justices” who would vote to overturn the 1973 Roe decision.

Gorsuch likewise wouldn’t comment on litigation over Trump’s efforts to ban travel to the U.S. by people from some mainly Muslim countries. He did, however, say publicly what he had previously told senators in private about Trump’s attacks on judges who ruled against him on that issue.

“When anyone criticizes the honesty and integrity or the motives of a federal judge, I find that disheartening, I find that demoralizing,” he said.

Sen. Richard Blumenthal, the Connecticut Democrat, asked, “Including the president?”

“Anyone is anyone,” Gorsuch replied.

As Tuesday’s questioning wore on, senators and Gorsuch engaged in a routine well-established in recent confirmation hearings.

The nominee resists all requests to say how he feels about Supreme Court decisions, even as he is asked about them again and again. Such was the case with questions about rulings on campaign finance, abortion, gun rights, even a privacy ruling from 1965 that John Roberts explicitly endorsed in his confirmation hearing in 2005.

Gorsuch made one exception, describing the two-year-old decision extending same-sex marriage nationwide as “settled law,” a term he did not apply to any other decision.

Trump to GOP: Pass health care bill or seal your fate

By RICARDO ALONSO-ZALDIVAR and ALAN FRAM The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – Time for talk running out, President Donald Trump on Tuesday warned wavering House Republicans that their jobs are on the line in next year’s elections if they fail to back a GOP bill that would upend Barack Obama’s Affordable Care Act. The countdown quickened toward an expected vote Thursday on legislation undoing much of the law that has provided coverage to about 20 million Americans. Trump huddled behind closed doors with rank-and-file Republicans just hours after GOP leaders unveiled changes intended to pick up votes by doling out concessions to centrists and hardliners alike.

“If we fail to get it done, fail to (meet) the promises made by all of us, including the president, then it could have a very detrimental effect to Republicans in ‘18 who are running for re-election,” said Rep. Mike Conaway, R-Texas. “If it fails, then there will be a lot of people looking for work in 2018.”

Trump’s message to Republicans: “If you don’t pass the bill there could be political costs,” said Rep. Walter Jones, R-N.C. Even with the revisions, the outlook

President Donald Trump and Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price appear Tuesday on Capitol Hill in Washington to rally support for the Republican health care overhaul by taking his case directly to GOP lawmakers. for House passage remains dicey. After a day of cajoling votes, a senior administration official said the White House is trying to persuade about 20 to 25 House Republicans who are either opposed or undecided. House leaders and Trump can only afford to lose 21. The official spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss internal deliberations.

At a Republican Congressional Committee fundraiser Tuesday night, Trump said the American people had handed Republicans the House, Senate and White House with an expectation they would deliver.

“These are the conservative solutions we campaign on, and these are the conservative solutions the American

people asked us as, a group, to deliver,” he said, calling Thursday’s vote “crucial” for the party and the American people.

“I think we’re going to have some great surprises,” he said. “I hope that it’s going to all work out.”

The GOP bill would scale back the role of government in the private health insurance market and limit future federal financing for Medicaid. It would repeal tax increases on the wealthy that Democrats used to pay for Obama’s coverage expansion. Fines enforcing the Obama-era requirement that virtually all Americans have coverage would be eliminated.

The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office estimates that 24 million fewer people will have health insurance in 2026 under the GOP bill.

Trump warned House Republicans they’d seal their political doom if they waver, with the party potentially losing control of the House. Still, several conservatives were steadfast in their opposition, even after the session with Trump.

“The president wouldn’t have been here this morning if they have the votes,” said Rep. Rod Blum, R-Iowa, a member of the Freedom Caucus who complained that the GOP bill leaves too much government regulation in place.

Trump will take part in a meeting of NATO heads of state in Brussels on May 25, the White House announced Tuesday. Spokesman Sean Spicer said the president looks forward to discussing “issues critical to the alliance, especially allied responsibility-sharing and NATO’s role in the fight against terrorism.”

As far as the U.S-Russia relationship, Trump has yet to

make any major steps as president to bring the two nations closer together.

As a candidate, Trump opened the door to potentially rolling back the sanctions imposed on Russia after its annexation of Ukraine’s Crimea region in 2014, a move Democrats and Republicans in Congress oppose. But as president, Trump has tamped down such suggestions as long as Russia fails to live up to its various

50Off

Trump has denied any collaboration between his campaign and Russia. As a candidate, he spoke frequently of his admiration for Russian President Vladimir Putin and said improving relations with the traditional U.S. adversary would be positive. He argued that Russia shared America’s goal of defeating IS extremists.

That’s about as far as the new relationship has gone.

“Tillerson will need to publicly outline what he hopes to accomplish when he visits Moscow and what is the basis for U.S. policy toward Russia,” said Heather Conley at the Center for Strategic and International Studies.

The prospect of Washington and Moscow teaming up, given Russia’s recent actions in Ukraine, has sent chills through much of Europe. Candidate Trump exacerbated concerns by calling NATO “obsolete” and suggested the U.S. might not defend allies if they aren’t paying enough for collective defense. As president, Trump has insisted the U.S. is fully committed to NATO.

WASHINGTON – With Russia-tinged investigations swirling around his administration, President Donald Trump has yet to fulfill a campaign pledge of closer cooperation with Moscow. A planned trip by Secretary of State Rex Tillerson to Russia could test whether detente proves anything more than talk.

In a move alarming U.S. allies, Tillerson plans to skip a meeting of NATO foreign ministers in Belgium next month, according to U.S. officials. The top American diplomat almost always attends such gatherings, and Tillerson will follow up his absence in Brussels by traveling to Russia’s capital shortly afterward.

The juxtaposition of the trips – one taken and one avoided – has reinforced concerns about America’s commitment to NATO, which Trump has repeatedly fueled by dressing down allies as deadbeats who aren’t paying enough for their own defense and who take U.S.

commitments to end the fighting in Ukraine.

His administration also has resisted Russia’s calls to join forces against the Islamic State group in Syria, where the former Cold War foes have long backed opposing sides in a civil war. The Pentagon is continuing only what it calls U.S.-Russian “deconfliction” contacts, designed to ensure their forces don’t accidentally collide on Syria’s crowded battlefield and contested skies.

But Trump’s biggest roadblock to a new Russia approach may be the political realities at home.

In a remarkable public disclosure Monday, FBI Director James Comey said the bureau is investigating whether Trump campaign associates coordinated with Russian officials as Moscow sought to sway the U.S. presidential election.

Several congressional committees also are investigating, ensuring the allegations of Russian meddling – and questions about Trump campaign collusion – stay in the spotlight for months to come.

ANOTHER VIEW

The ‘real story’ is not the leaks

A House Intelligence Committee hearing Monday produced the remarkable spectacle of FBI Director James Comey publicly testifying there was “no information that supports” tweets by President Donald Trump alleging wiretapping of his New York headquarters on the order of President Barack Obama.

It saw National Security Agency Director Michael Rogers agree with the British government that it was “utterly ridiculous” for the White House to suggest such surveillance had been undertaken by Britain’s signals agency. And it produced official confirmation

by Comey that the agency is investigating Russia’s interference in the U.S. presidential election, including possible coordination with members of the Trump campaign. You’d think that all of this would be of surpassing concern for Republican members of Congress. The president who leads their party has officially been reported to have made false statements alleging criminal activity by his predecessor.

Yet to listen to Republican members of the Intelligence Committee, the most pressing problem to arise from Russia’s intervention and the FBI’s investigation of it is that reports of contacts between Russia’s ambassador and Trump’s designated national security adviser were leaked to The Post. The priority of Chairman Devin Nunes of California and other Republican members, judging from their statements, is not fully uncovering Russia’s actions but finding and punishing those who allowed the public to learn about them.

Nunes and Rep. Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., could not have been more zealous in their outrage over the exposure of Michael Flynn, who was forced to resign as national security adviser after reports in The Post exposed his lies about his conversations with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak. Flynn accepted nearly $68,000 in payments from Russian companies, including the state propaganda outlet, before advocating greater cooperation with Moscow during his brief White House stint.

The Republicans seem to be slavishly following the cues of the president, who, while failing to retract his accusation against Obama, is seeking to direct attention elsewhere.

“The real story that Congress, the FBI and all others should be looking into is the leaking of Classified information,” he tweeted Monday morning. Such a diversion, like anything else that distracts attention from Vladimir Putin’s support for his election, would be to Trump’s advantage.

Congressional Republicans ought to consider larger national interests. Russia’s intervention in the election was not incidental and haphazard, but part of a concerted campaign to disrupt Western democracy.

Given Trump’s refusal to acknowledge the threat, it is essential Congress discover the truth about Russia’s activities, take steps to defend against similar intrusions in the future and help allies protect themselves.

AMENDMENT

ANOTHER VIEW

Don’t risk health of the Great Lakes On Thursday, it was revealed the Trump administration’s budget would slash Great Lakes Restoration Initiative funding completely, putting at risk the health of the Great Lakes. Previous information stated the fund would be cut from $300 million to $10 million, but apparently those reports were wrong. The new budget cuts all of the funding.

Clean and healthy Great Lakes are essential not only to the health of millions of people who live around these massive bodies of fresh water, but also the lifeblood to the economies of the entire region. This fund not only helps clean up the Great Lakes throughout the region, but also has major impacts within Northern Michigan.

Jennifer McKay, policy director for the Tip of the Mitt Watershed Council, said in a recent story in the Petoskey News-Review, locally the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative has funded a stormwater wetland area at North Central Michigan College, area rain gardens, road-stream crossings to allow rivers to flow naturally and boat

washing stations that prevent invasive species spread are all local examples of projects funded by the program.

And she said currently the council has a grant under the initiative to do research and to combat the spread of zebra and quagga mussels.

According to the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative’s map of projects in Michigan, Northern Michigan has seen projects that restore wetlands and habitats, promote nearshore health and projects that combat invasive species as well as one that focused on cleaning up toxics in the Straits area.

And while the funding has significantly helped areas of Northern Michigan, McKay said there are still challenges in the Great Lakes.

These cuts in Trump’s budget proposal will cause irreversible harm to these successful programs that protect and clean the Great Lakes and impact our local communities.

We were pleased to hear that Congressman Jack Bergman seems to understand the damage

such a cut would have on our area and has signed a bipartisan letter to the president calling for the $300 million in funding to remain in place.

In a statement to the Petoskey News-Review earlier this week – when it was believed the initiative’s budget would be cut $300 million to $10 million – he said, “As a Michigander and a member of the Great Lakes Task Force, I believe it’s our duty to be good stewards of our land, water and wildlife ... That’s why I signed a bipartisan letter to the president last month calling for $300 million in funding for the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative. I want to protect our Great Lakes..”

But now the cut is even greater than we or Bergman feared.

We urge Bergman to continue this fight for the Great Lakes now and in the future.

The Trump administration has put the health of the Great Lakes and the economies of the Great Lakes states in jeopardy with this budget. It is time for our elected officials to stand up and fight against it.

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.

VIEWS Scott Reeder ing cholangitis.

Finally his liver was giving out.

Death was near.

But someone else’s death saved his.

A middle-aged woman in Rochester, Minn., died suddenly of a brain aneurysm.

Sometime earlier, she’d signed an organ donor card.

That small act saved my brother’s life.

On Father’s Day 2004, he began his path to recovery. With the gift

of a new liver his yellowing skin returned to a healthy peach color. His weakened body regained energy.

But this isn’t an “and they lived happily after” story.

I wish it were.

Cancer began to grow in his transplanted liver and by December 2005 he was dead.

Still, some woman, whose name we will never know, gave him a year and a half that he never would have had.

My brother was not a man prone to much introspection. He was a farmer. Most things were black and white: crop yields, commodity prices, hog weights.

But when it came to the unknown woman who gave a part of herself to

him, he became quiet and contemplative.

“I wonder what she was like.

Did she have kids?” he said shortly before he died.

I wondered if her family missed her as much as I would miss Dan. We do know this much about the woman: she cared enough to give.

Next month is organ donor month in Illinois.

Please consider being an organ donor.

To the Editor: I must admit the McCaskeys now have done the impossible, they made a horrible situation even worse. Who in their right mind would pay $19 million for a no-name, second-string quarterback from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers?

They actually upped their original offer although he had no other offers, basically negotiating against themselves. They make former President Obama look like a real tough negotiator. Hard thing to do but they mismanage money worse than Congress!

Thoughts on school board elections

To the Editor: Be careful of those who demagogue the issues of school taxes and teacher compensation, who formulaically invoke the “Cut Taxes” slogan but don’t have a clue or a plan.

Connect the dots between these local offices and what is going on in D.C., the Trump/ DeVos approach to dismantling public education.

It is estimated that only a small percentage of the registered voters will turn out for the election in April. The upside is that your votes will make a difference.

Please vote early ... call your family and friends and urge them to vote ... to cast a vote to continue the tradition of quality education in School Districts 47

Brian Sager has impressed me the most.

This man exhibits an incredible passion for the city. It is no secret he loves it very much. For the past 6 years under his leadership, Woodstock has not raised taxes. Yet the city still operates in the black. This is incredible. Under his leadership, the city maintains its operations with less money.

During the summer, on Wednesday nights, you usually can find Brian on the Square. Wednesday nights is city band concert night and Brian is walking through the park talking and listening to the spectators.

When the farmers market opens up in Woodstock, Brian goes around and thanks every vendor for being a part of an award-winning market.

When anything goes on in this town, Brian is there to listen to the residents and promote Woodstock to all out-oftown visitors.

He is keenly aware of problems and works hard to find solutions for them.

He certainly has the respect and willing cooperation of the vast majority of city employees.

Vote Wallace in McHenry Township

To the Editor: I must only describe Victor Darst’s letter, published on March 11, 2017, entitled, “Fake Campaign Promises,” as yet another “fake” news story expressed by a “fake” pundit.

It is only by your unwillingness to accept the election results that Donald Trump’s inability to enact his policies are probably not going to be implemented. With all due respect, give the man the chance he earned by winning that election, Mr. Darst, and then maybe you’ll have the right to proclaim his failed campaign promises as his failure and not your own.

To the Editor: My name is Craig Wallace and I am running for McHenry Township trustee. I was appointed this past summer after being chosen from three candidates who interviewed for the trustee opening. I note this because the position I filled was vacated by a trustee who moved and others have made a big deal about appointments. The appointment was to fill the seat during an off election. I planned to run for re-election come February in a primary. However, that opportunity was taken away as some “real Republicans” decided to hold a caucus with weighted votes. This not only upset the voting public, but showed them they really didn’t care about the “one person, one vote” ideology.

I have a love for the community and I ask that you vote for me, Craig Wallace, as McHenry Township trustee April 4.

Apple cuts prices on lower-end iPads

By ANICK JESDANUN The Associated Press

NEW YORK – Apple is cutting prices on two iPad models and introducing red iPhones, but the company held back on updating its higher-end iPad Pro tablets.

A much-speculated 10.5-inch iPad Pro didn’t materialize, nor did new versions of existing sizes in the Pro lineup, which is aimed at businesses and creative professionals.

The new devices are mostly refreshes of existing models. Apple unveiled them through press releases Tuesday rather than a staged event, as it typically does for bigger product releases.

The iPad updates come as the tablet market continues to decline, after a few years of rapid growth. According to IDC, tablet shipments fell 20 percent to 53 million worldwide in the final three months of 2016, compared with the same period in 2015.

THE NEW LINEUP

The iPad Air 2 is replaced by a new model simply called the iPad. It retains a 9.7-inch screen, but gains a little weight and thickness. The display is brighter and the processor faster.

Its price starts at $329 for 32 gigabytes of storage, down from $399. The standard-size iPad is now cheaper than the smaller Mini model.

The 7.9-inch iPad Mini 4 now comes with 128 gigabytes of storage starting

This photo provided by Apple shows the family of iPads (from left), the iPad mini 4, the new iPad, the 9.7-inch iPad Pro and the 12.9-inch one, along with the Apple Pencil. Apple cut prices Tuesday on two iPad models and introduced red iPhones, but the company held back on updating its higher-end iPad Pro tablets. at $399, rather than $499 before. Apple is eliminating the 32-gigabyte model, which used to sell for $399. Nothing else is changing.

Apple is also releasing a red edition of the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus; for each phone sold, Apple is donating an unspecified amount to HIV and AIDS programs. And Apple is doubling the storage on the smaller iPhone SE while keeping the $399 starting price.

The new iPad Mini 4 is available right away, while the standard-size iPad comes out next week, with orders to begin Friday. The new iPhone SE

comes out Friday, while the red iPhones are expected by the end of the month, with advance orders beginning Friday.

THE MISSING DEVICE

IDC analyst Jorge Vela had high hopes for a 10.5-inch iPad. He said such a size might have offered room for a better keyboard, compared with the 9.7-inch iPad Pro, and it wouldn’t have been as bulky as the 12.9-inch version.

And Apple typically sparks consumer interest when it has new sizes

and designs, Vela said, as seen by a jump in sales after the introduction of larger iPhones in 2014 (iPhone sales have since dropped.) Vela said a 10.5-inch version might have been enough for existing iPad owners to upgrade.

A 10.5-inch version may still come this year, closer to the holiday shopping season, along with updates to existing Pro sizes.

Jackdaw Research analyst Jan Dawson said Tuesday’s announcement makes it “even clearer that there are two very distinct iPad tiers now – the iPad Pro and the basic iPads. The iPad Pros will likely continue to get all the best new features, while the basic iPad will get occasional updates and new features a little later than the Pros, lagging a generation or two behind.”

The processor in the new standard-size iPad, for instance, is akin to what’s in the iPhone 6S from 2015. The Mini’s processor is even older.

DOWN BUT NOT OUT

In the last three months of 2016, iPhones generated 10 times the revenue as iPads. Unit sales of iPads fell 19 percent from the previous year. Yet Apple CEO Tim Cook has expressed optimism because many people were buying iPads for the first time, indicating that the market had yet to reach saturation, the point at which everyone who wants a particular product already has one.

NEW YORK – Tina Fey’s stage adaptation of “Mean Girls” will make its world premiere at The National Theatre in Washington, D.C. The new musical is based on the 2004 film about a naive girl who falls in love with her new high school’s coolest, prettiest, most treacherous triumvirate of girls, called The Plastics. The show will run from Oct. 31-Dec. 3.

It will feature a story by Fey, based on her screenplay for the film, music by three-time Emmy Award winner Jeff Richmond (“30 Rock,” “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt”), and lyrics by Tony Award-nominee Nell Benjamin (“Legally Blonde”). Tony Award-winner Casey Nicholaw (“The Book of Mormon”) will direct and choreograph.

‘This is Us’ finale gets the highest viewership of season

AP photo

This image released by Disney shows Judy Hopps, voiced by Ginnifer Goodwin, in a scene from the animated film “Zootopia.” Screenwriter and producer Gary L. Goldman sued Disney on Tuesday, alleging last year’s animated blockbuster copied a franchise he pitched the studio in 2000 and 2009.

Writer’s lawsuit says Disney copied his plans for ‘Zootopia’ LOS ANGELES – A screenwriter and producer sued Walt Disney Pictures on Tuesday claiming the studio copied his ideas to create the Oscar-winning animated film “Zootopia.”

Gary L. Goldman, whose credits include work on film adaptations of “Total Recall,” “Minority Report” and “Big Trouble in Little China,” filed the copyright infringement lawsuit Tuesday in a federal court in Los Angeles.

His lawsuit states he pitched his “Zootopia” concept to Disney in 2000 and 2009, and there are substantial similarities between his project and last year’s animated blockbuster.

Disney rejected the lawsuit’s claims in a statement. “Mr. Goldman’s lawsuit is riddled with patently false allegations. It is an unprincipled attempt to lay claim to a successful film he didn’t create, and we will vigorously defend against it in court.”

The lawsuit states Goldman pitched Disney his “Zootopia” concept as a way to explore life in America through a civilized society of animals. Disney’s “Zootopia” explores prejudice through a bunny’s quest to become a respected police officer in a city where predator and prey co-exist side-by-side. The film won the best animated feature at last month’s Academy Awards.

“About five years ago, almost six now, oh my God, we got this crazy idea to talk about humanity with talking animals in the hopes that when the film came out, it would make the world just a slightly better place,” said Byron Howard, one of the film’s directors during his acceptance speech at last month’s Oscars.

NEW YORK – Those who believe it’s impossible for a broadcast network to make new hits anymore probably isn’t a fan of “This is Us.” The heartwarming NBC series was second only to CBS’ “NCIS” for the most popular show of the week for its debut season finale last week. The show’s viewership reached its highest this season with 12.8 million viewers on the night it first aired, with the audience swelling to 16.9 million when people who watched via time delay over three days is added in, the Nielsen company said.

The vast majority of new television series’ fail, but “This is Us” also proved that there’s still no matching broadcast television when it comes to finding the best chance of reaching the biggest audience.

Schwarzenegger bashes Trump approval ratings

LOS ANGELES – Arnold Schwarzenegger is turning the table on Donald Trump by taking to social media to criticize the president’s own approval ratings.

Schwarzenegger posted a video on Twitter referencing a new Gallup poll that showed Trump’s approval rating at 39 percent, down 6 points from a week earlier. Schwarzenegger tells Trump, “The ratings are in and you got swamped.”

The action star and former California governor replaced Trump as the host

of “Celebrity Apprentice,” and Trump repeatedly mocked him for poor television ratings. Schwarzenegger recently said he wouldn’t return to the show.

Tomi Lahren off-air after backing abortion right

NEW YORK – Conservative commentator Tomi Lahren was absent from the air of Glenn Beck’s “The Blaze” days after declaring her support for abortion rights.

During an appearance on ABC’s “The View” on Friday, Lahren explained that she was for abortion rights because as a proponent of limited government, it would be hypocritical of her to say she thinks the government “should decide what women do with their bodies.”

The comments drew criticism from colleagues, including Beck. Beck took issue with Lahren’s argument on his radio show Monday, suggesting it lacked “intellectual honesty.”

Training vs. fatigue

Rookie docs can work longer, 24-hour shifts under new rules

By LINDSEY TANNER The Associated Press

CHICAGO – Rookie doctors can work up to 24 hours straight under new work limits taking effect this summer – a move supporters say will enhance training and foes maintain will do just the opposite.

A Chicago-based group that establishes work standards for U.S. medical school graduates has voted to eliminate a 16-hour cap for first-year residents.

The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education announced the move last week as part of revisions that include reinstating the longer limit for rookies – the same maximum allowed for advanced residents.

An 80-hour a week limit for residents at all levels remains in place under the new rules.

Dr. Anai Kothari, a third-year resident on a council panel that recommended the changes, says he only occasionally works 24-hour shifts. The extra hours give him time to finish up with patients instead of being sent

home in the middle of a case, said Kothari, who works at Loyola University Medical Center near Chicago.

But first-year resident Dr. Samantha Harrington thinks it will endanger the safety of residents and patients.

Harrington says her 14-hour shifts this winter at Cambridge Hospital near Boston are already plenty long. To stay awake while driving home after work, she sometimes rolls down the window to let the freezing air blast her in the face.

Harrington says the grueling hours are “based on a patriarchal hazing system,” where longtime physicians think “ ‘I went through it, so therefore you have to go through it too.’ ” She is a member of the Committee of Interns and Residents, a union group that opposes the work-shift changes.

So does the American Medical Student Association.

Dr. Kelly Thibert, the group’s president, says putting a 16-hour cap on all residents’ work shifts would be a safer way to even the playing field.

There are more than 120,000 U.S.

doctors-in-training including rookies.

The accreditation council for years has wrestled with ensuring doctors adequately are trained but not overworked.

The 1984 death of an 18-year-old college student in a New York hospital while under the care of medical residents working long hours put a national spotlight on the issue. Medication error and inadequate supervision were cited in that case, which prompted a lengthy investigation and state limits for residents’ work hours.

In 2003, the council implemented national standards that established the 24-hour shift cap and 80-hour work week for all residents. After an Institute of Medicine report raised additional safety concerns about sleep-deprived residents, the council in 2010 shortened work shift caps for first-year residents to 16 hours and strongly recommended “strategic napping.”

Critics of the shorter limit said it short-changed rookie doctors. Dr. Karl Bilimoria, a Northwestern University surgery professor, said some residents

have complained they’ve had to leave work in the middle of surgeries.

Bilimoria led a study published last year suggesting first-year residents could work longer without endangering patient safety or their own well-being. The research was among published findings that helped persuade the panel to recommend lifting the 16-hour cap. The council’s board approved the recommendation in a vote last month. The group delayed announcing the vote until its annual education conference, which ends Sunday in Orlando, Florida.

“We all agree that nobody wants tired physicians,” said Dr. Rowen Zetterman, board chairman.

He said the new rules give training programs more flexibility, help eliminate abrupt handoffs of patients and will enhance teamwork among new doctors and their supervisors. The rules say rookie doctors must have supervisors nearby, and those more experienced doctors can step in if a new resident is exhausted, Zetterman said.

and “not quite what we hoped or expected.”

Dr. Mark Hlatky, a Stanford University cardiologist and cost effectiveness researcher, said, “people were hoping for a breakthrough, a lot bigger result than 20 percent.”

NEW YORK – Elderly people are suffering concussions and other brain injuries from falls at what appear to be unprecedented rates, according to a new report from U.S. government researchers.

The reason for the increase isn’t clear, the report’s authors said. But one likely factor is a growing number of elderly people are living at home and taking repeated tumbles, one expert said.

“Many older adults are afraid their independence will be taken away if they admit to falling, and so they minimize it,” said Dr. Lauren Southerland, an Ohio State University emergency physician who specializes in geriatric care.

But what may seem like a mild initial fall may cause concussions or other problems that increase the chances of future falls – and more severe injuries, she said.

Whatever the cause, the numbers are striking, according to the new report released Thursday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

One in every 45 Americans 75 and older suffered brain injuries that resulted in emergency department visits, hospitalizations, or deaths in 2013. The rate

for that age group jumped 76 percent from 2007. The rate of these injuries for people of all ages rose 39 percent over that time, hitting a record level, the CDC found.

The report, which explored brain injuries in general, also found an increase in brain injuries from suicides and suicide attempts, mainly gunshot wounds to the head. Brain injuries from car crashes fell.

Carpal tunnel usually treatable Dear Doctor: Sometimes when I awake from a good sleep, one of my hands is asleep, and I have to shake or massage it back to normalcy. It’s usually my thumb and the two fingers next to it. Is this normal?

Dear Reader: No, this is not normal.

Your symptoms are typical of carpal tunnel syndrome, which occurs because of a compression of the median nerve at the wrist. The median nerve provides sensation to the thumb, index and middle fingers. It also supplies the muscles that control the thumb and the smaller muscles that control the index and middle fingers.

The median nerve is in real cramped quarters as it makes its way through the wrist. As you look at the palm surface of your hand and move your eyes toward your wrist you can see multiple tendons. The median nerve has to share room with nine of these tendons that are within the carpal tunnel. When there is inflammation in the wrist, or the tendons become inflamed, the median nerve gets compressed.

The first symptoms often are noted during sleep, when we have a tendency to flex the wrists, so that our hands curl.

This flexion of the wrists causes greater compression of the median nerve, which leads to the sensation of tingling in the thumb and the index and middle fingers, as if your hands are falling asleep.

Carpal tunnel syndrome is very common and can be caused by repetitive work involving recurrent compression on the median nerve. Studies have been mixed as to the type of work that can cause this. One study showed that recurrent use of a computer mouse was associated with carpal tunnel syndrome, but there has been no consistent associa-

SUDOKU

ASK THE DOCTORS Robert Ashley tion with recurrent keyboard use.

Women are more likely to have carpal tunnel syndrome than are men. The rate is 5 percent in the general population, but women have rates ranging from 7 percent to 18 percent. One study, published in Environmental Research, for example, found a greater rate of carpal tunnel syndrome in female butchers and meat cutters.

Diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis and hypothyroidism are diseases that are associated with an increased risk of carpal tunnel syndrome.

As for a diagnosis, that can be done through a physical exam or through a nerve conduction study.

For starters, I would consult your doctor. If he or she diagnoses carpal tunnel syndrome, wearing a wrist brace at night would be the likely recommendation.

Whether rigid or of a softer variety, wrist braces help because they don’t allow the wrist to curl when you’re sleeping. In addition, a physical therapist can teach stretches and range of motion exercises that can ease symptoms.

Finally, pay attention to signs of weakness in the hand. This would be noticed mostly in the use of the thumb, such as if you start dropping keys or begin having difficulty holding a cup. These signs suggest additional treatment, such as surgery, may be needed.

DEAR ABBY I’m not proud to write this, but I Jeanne don’t like my sonPhillips in-law. I think the feeling is mutual. He’s arrogant and thinks he knows everything. My daughter and I had a close bond before she married him. That quickly changed. She barely comes to my house anymore, and I don’t see my grandkids as often as I’d like. I don’t have a car (I’m working on that), and I rely on them for transportation. I don’t like going to their house because I don’t feel wanted. I tolerate my son-in-law because I know my daughter loves him and I try hard to stay out of their business.

Dear Abby:

daughter may be hurt or uncomfortable because she knows you dislike her husband? If he makes your daughter happy and is a good father to your grandchildren, give him points for that, and be glad you aren’t the one who has to live with him. You don’t have to love him, but you must maintain a cordial relationship if only for your daughter’s sake. Keep working on getting that car so you’ll have your own transportation when you need it, and your visit won’t be perceived as an imposition.

Dear Abby: My son is angry to the point of rage that my daughter is dating his best friend, “Ron.” He says his sister “betrayed him” because when she and Ron broke up, she promised never to date another of his friends again, but went back to dating Ron. He also blames my husband and me for encouraging them. They are only 18 months apart in age. We have shared that we understand his feelings of loss regarding his friend, but we don’t think there’s anything wrong with her dating Ron. I don’t think anything will make him feel better except them breaking up again, and that doesn’t look like it will happen. My son is 22 and my daughter is 20. This is ruining the once close-knit family we had. Any advice you can offer would be appreciated. – Mess on East Coast Dear Mess: Your son may be 22, but he needs to grow up. If he values his friendship with Ron, he will have to accept that he cannot control the love lives of others, and the person he is punishing with the stance he has taken is himself. It’s time for you to step back. You and your spouse will be better off if you stop allowing your adult son’s tantrum(s) to affect you.

Dear Abby: While dining in a fancy restaurant recently, I noticed a woman sitting a few tables away who had a number of tattoos on her arms and elsewhere. When she came by, I politely asked her what one of them meant. My wife was furious! Did I do something wrong? – Inquiring

CLIMBING THE CHARTS Interrante rises to No. 4 in career scoring in Johnsburg history “I look up to [my mom] in so many ways, especially when she is faced with tough times. She chooses to focus on the good and not get weighed down by the bad.”

By ALEX KANTECKI

ohnsburg’s Aannah Interrante helped lead the Skyhawks to their second straight Class 3A girls basketball regional championship and a perfect season in the Kishwaukee River Conference.

The sharp-shooting junior led all local players with 91 3-pointers and was third in scoring with 15.7 points a game. Her 517 total points were first overall, and she was named the KRC Player of the Year in the conference’s inaugural season. She also averaged 2.4 steals and 2 assists a game.

For the second season in a row, the Skyhawks (25-9) were the area’s last team standing, falling short against Antioch in the Class 3A Johnsburg Sectional final. Interrante poured in 20 or more points in 15 of 33 games, including a six-game stretch in which she averaged 26 points a game.

Interrante, fourth in scoring at Johnsburg with 1,245 career points, can move into the top two spots with a strong senior year. Melissa Dixon is the all-time leader with 2,146 career points, followed by Paige Fiedorowicz (1,832), and Michelle McDonald (1,477).

For her accomplishments, Interrante has been selected as the 2017 Northwest Herald Girls Basketball Player of the Year, as chosen by the sports staff. She is the first Skyhawks player to earn the honor since Dixon in 2010 and 2011.

Marian Central’s Vannessa Garrelts and Cary-Grove’s Katie Sowa – both teammates of Interrante’s on AAU Illinois Elite Basketball – also were considered for the honor.

The 5-foot-10 shooting guard has an offer from Northern Illinois and interest from Loyola, Bradley, DePaul, Miami (Ohio) and Southern Illinois. Interrante expects a busy spring for recruiting, starting in April.

Interrante recently spoke with sports writer Alex Kantecki about her favorite memories from junior year, playing high school basketball with her sister for the first time, making a boys baseball all-star team in seventh grade, and more.

What professional sports team has the best uniform?

Interrante: Chicago Bulls.

(Skyhawks freshman guard Ava Interrante). We have so many inside jokes together.

Interrante: Jimmy Butler.

What would be your dream job?

Interrante: My dream would be to

play basketball overseas, but I think I want to be a lawyer.

Which teammate inspires you?

Interrante: Corti (four-year varsity

player and point guard Cortland Sommerfeldt). She always has really good advice for me and everybody else on the team. When she got hurt, she always had a positive mindset and always helped me out. She’s someone I can count on for anything.

What sports moment was so huge that you’ll always remember where you were when it happened?

Interrante: I have a picture of me

shooting a corner 3 (at the 2016 Class 3A Concordia University Supersectional), and the whole crowd is behind me as the ball is in the air. That was the biggest game I’ve ever played in, and I just love that picture.

If you had one last meal to eat, what would be included?

Interrante: My mom’s (Christine)

buttered noodles.

What group would you most like to

see in a concert this spring or summer?

What’s the nicest Christmas gift you’ve ever given someone?

Interrante: When I was little, I

would make my mom homemade Christmas cards. At the end of them, there would be coupons that would say things like “5 free hugs.”

What will you remember most about your junior season?

Interrante: Probably just having

my sister on the team with me for her freshman year. All of my friends that are now juniors and weren’t all on the team last year. It was probably the most fun year yet.

How many 3-point field goals can you make in a row?

Interrante: Probably around 10. I

haven’t really kept track.

What will you remember most about coach (Brad) Frey, who resigned after the season?

Interrante: He’s just always so fun.

What’s your biggest pet peeve?

Interrante: My room usually has to

What is your most memorable moment playing basketball?

Interrante: I was playing AAU with

Nessa (Vannessa Garrelts). I think we were down by two, and there was only so many seconds left. We were in Georgia, and she made this sweet behind-the-back pass, and I made the layup and tied the game. I remember we pointed at each other, and it was pretty sweet. It’s one of my favorites.

What’s your favorite pregame meal?

Interrante: I kind of eat whatever

before a game, but one of my go-to’s is peanut butter on toast. It’s probably not one of the best or healthy things to eat right before a game.

Who is your biggest influence?

Interrante: My mom. I look up

to her in so many ways, especially when she is faced with tough times.

She chooses to focus on the good and not get weighed down by the bad. My mom is the backbone in my family.

She inspires me and my siblings to do our best and work hard in all that we do.

akantecki@shawmedia.com Dundee-Crown girls basketball coach Sarah Miller led the Chargers to their first Fox Valley Conference championship since 2005 in her fourth season.

D-C went on a 10-game winning streak to force a four-way tie for the FVC title, and the team now owns the longest regional title streak among area girls basketball teams after knocking off Crystal Lake South in a Class 4A McHenry Regional final, securing the program’s third regional crown in as many years.

The Chargers – who finished 19-12 – fell to a one-loss Boylan team, 47-37, in a Hampshire Sectional semifinal, but hung tough for 31/2 quarters against the state-ranked Titans.

For leading D-C’s late-season turnaround and improbable finish, Miller has been selected as the 2017 Northwest Herald Girls Basketball Coach of the Year, as selected by the sports staff.

Miller recently spoke with sports writer Alex Kantecki about the Chargers overcoming a slow start to the season, her coaching influences, why you shouldn’t tie your shoes when she’s talking and more.

What is the best part about coaching?

Miller: At the varsity level,

being able to be in charge of an entire program. Just seeing your ability to impact lives. I’ve always made it a goal in the program not to just focus on basketball. We’re trying to build people and get them better prepared for when they leave high school.

Probably the most rewarding thing is obviously seeing their game being built, but also seeing them grow as people. At the end of the day, that’s what I think is the most important.

After a big game, do you have a favorite way to celebrate a win?

Miller: Every time we circle up

in the locker room after a game, we always go around and each person says something about a teammate that they think helped bring the victory together.

We always clap, and if we are home, we’ll say, “Whose house?

Our house!” and we would do a scream. We talk about being a family a lot, and always stress a family atmosphere. The locker room fun was great. We had a

What was the biggest challenge you faced this year?

Miller: We struggled a little

bit at the beginning, and I think the biggest challenge was getting this group to understand how talented and how good they can be if they just really bought into each other. I thought that was a really big challenge, and for me as a coach to find ways to really get them to trust each other and Shaw Media file photo play for each other.

share of the Fox Valley Conference title. lot of team meals this year, too, to celebrate big victories as a program.

Which player on your team made you laugh the hardest?

Miller: They all crack me up,

but I would probably say Paige (Gieske) and Allison (Michalski) were constantly making me laugh.

Who was an unheralded player on your team who you will remember for a long time?

Miller: I feel like since I’ve

been there, I have a lot of players that will stick with me for a long time. Obviously, Allison being the first athlete that I’ve had for varsity for four years, she’ll stick with me. But Lucy Atherton and Paige are also two seniors I’ll remember for a long time. Paige has grown so much as a player, too, and, along with Allison, she’s one of the most committed girls I’ve ever met in terms of wanting to grow her game. I would say the senior class, just kind of making that history and being a part of those big milestones is going to stick with me forever.

What sport that you don’t play would be good at?

Miller: I played basketball,

volleyball and soccer, so maybe something like track or running.

I’m kind of a little bit fast.

What three movies can you watch over and over again?

Miller: “Love & Basketball,”

“Coach Carter,” and “Hoosiers.”

Any historical sports movie that shows a powerful moment.

If you had one last meal to eat, what would be included?

Miller: I would do a filet

What is one of your biggest pet peeves?

Miller: Diddling with some-

thing on your wrist or tying your shoes when someone is talking or not paying full attention when someone is talking. Now they get it. They’re used to it now, but Year 1, there was a little bit of that shoe tying while talking.

What’s something you would change about basketball?

Miller: I think basketball is

one of those sports where to be really great at it, it takes not just physical toughness, but mental toughness. Part of me feels like the turning point is hitting the youth young. I feel like numbers overall have kind of gone down for basketball because I feel like it’s one of those sports that takes a lot to be great at, and a lot of toughness. If we don’t get the kids young enough, then they won’t buy into that desire to do it. I would want to tackle those younger ages, which we’re trying to do right now and give them the opportunity to love the game at an early age.

If you could spend a day with anyone from history, who would it be?

Miller: John Wooden because

I’ve studied and read a lot of his books and articles, and I use his quotes almost on a daily basis. I would love to meet with him, talk the game, talk life and just hear about his experiences.

If you could have any college job, where would you go?

Miller: I’d probably want to

coach in Arizona because my parents have retired there, so that would be fun. That’s a dream that I possibly have for my future, but not right now.

First team LIZ ALSOT McHenry, jr., F Alsot paced the Warriors with 13 points and 11.7 rebounds a game and was one of two local players to average a double-double. The 6-foot forward was one of the most physical players in the area, shooting 53 percent from the field and leading McHenry to its most wins (15) in five seasons. With 788 points and 719 rebounds in her career, Alsot has a good chance at reaching 1,000 points and 1,000 rebounds next year.

MORGAN CLAUSEN Huntley, sr., F Clausen – who will play next year at Brown – was the main defensive focus of opposing teams, and the 6-foot senior still made up 38 percent of the Red Raiders’ offense. She averaged 14.7 points and 8.3 rebounds per game to help lead Huntley to a share of its fourth consecutive FVC championship. Clausen finishes her fouryear varsity career as one of five players in program history with more than 1,000 points.

VANNESSA GARRELTS Marian Central, jr., G Garrelts, who was named to the Class 3A/4A All-State fourth team by the Illinois Basketball Coaches Association (IBCA), led the area in scoring with 17.6 points a game and almost set a single-season scoring record for the Hurricanes, falling 11 points short. The 5-foot-5 junior guard was an all-around threat, connecting on 59 3-pointers and averaging 5.3 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 3.8 steals a game. She’ll enter her senior year 170 points from the school’s all-time scoring record.

AANNAH INTERRANTE Johnsburg, jr., G Interrante, the Northwest Herald Girls Basketball Player of the Year, led area players with 91 3-pointers and averaged 15.7 points a game to lead the Skyhawks to a 12-0 record in the inaugural season of the Kishwaukee River Conference. The 5-foot-10 junior guard was named KRC Player of the Year and led Johnsburg to a second straight regional title. Interrante shot 40 percent from the field, averaging two assists and 2.4 steals a game.

KATIE SOWA Cary-Grove, jr., G-F Sowa (6-foot-0) was second in the area in scoring at 16.2 points a game and makes the first team after being an honorable mention a year ago. The junior also paced the Trojans with 6.7 rebounds a game and a team-best 39 3-pointers.

Sowa made 40 percent of her shots and helped C-G (16-12) earn a share of the FVC title, its first since 2013.

4 SOFTBALL: PRAIRIE RIDGE 10, MARIAN CENTRAL 6

Wolves withstand ‘disgusting inning’

By SEAN HAMMOND

shammond@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – It’s early in the softball season. If the cold weather wasn’t evidence enough, sloppy play Tuesday between Prairie Ridge and Marian Central provided extra evidence.

In the season opener for both teams, each had its share of defensive miscues.

Behind seven innings from pitcher Hailey Baker, Prairie Ridge found a way to spark the bats late and hold on for a 10-6 win.

Each lineup put up a big number in the early innings.

Prairie Ridge scored one run in the first, then five in the second after Marian committed four errors. Baker and third baseman Haley Barnes each hit two-run singles.

“The errors killed us,” Marian coach Erin Widmayer said. “Without that, it would have been a lot closer game.”

Even so, the Hurricanes answered with a five spot of their own in the top of the third to pull within 6-5.

Prairie Ridge did not technically commit any errors in the inning, but it wasn’t without its share of miscues.

Back-to-back-to-back singles loaded the bases before Baker walked in two runs.

Marian’s Jackie Chmiel grounded out to second, scoring a run. With runners on second and third, Marian’s Jamie Gatz put down a bunt. A chaotic rundown with the two Hurricanes runners ensued and ended with Marian scoring

“Our communication could have been better,” said Barnes, the Prairie Ridge third baseman.

Another run scored one batter later when Prairie Ridge second baseman Maddie Schillinger fielded a grounder and elected to throw home instead of take the sure out at first.

“The third inning was rough,” Baker said. “But it happens.”

Other than the big innings, the teams played relatively clean through the last four innings.

Prairie Ridge’s Emmie Farnam makes a catch in center field to retire Marian Central’s Kaeti Miller in the fourth inning Tuesday at Prairie Ridge in Crystal Lake.

Barnes drove in a run on a double in the fourth and later scored when Emmie Farnam hit a single. Prairie Ridge added two more insurance runs in the sixth after Leverenz led off with a double, followed by singles from Kaleigh O’Brien and Barnes, and a sacrifice fly from Farnam.

Marian’s Laura Black drove in a run in the seventh on a sacrifice fly, but Baker finished the inning without any more harm. Baker allowed five hits and walked six, striking out five.

“I felt good about the last four innings,” Baker said. “Our team as a whole is really good at bouncing back.

We didn’t let that disgusting inning bother us too much.”

Her counterpart, Marian’s Maddie Peters, allowed 10 runs, but only four earned. Marian committed six errors.

Peters was 2 for 2 with a double, a walk and a run scored. Teammate Emily Miller was 0 for 2 but reached base three times and scored two runs.

Barnes was 3 for 4 with the double and three RBIs for Prairie Ridge.

“I noticed that she was pitching lower pitches, and I knew I had to get down in the strike zone to be able to hit it,” Barnes said. “It definitely felt good driving in a couple of runs.”

Rybarski pitched the first three innings Tuesday and kept his team in the game. The junior got into some trouble in the third inning, when eight Boylan batters came to the plate, but made the pitches he needed to limit the damage to three runs.

“I had some trouble throwing strikes early, but my defense made every play I needed them to make,” Rybarski said. “I wouldn’t have had much success today without the play of my defense.”

The Rockets tied the score in the bottom of the third when Brandon Bannon scored on an error. R-B (1-1) took the lead back for good when Rybarski scored on a throwing error to put the Rockets up 4-3.

R-B added some insurance runs in the sixth to put the game out of reach.

The Rockets’ pitching staff held Boylan in check after the three-run third in-

ning. Wojcik pitched two innings to earn the win, and Vincent Pieroni pitched 11/3 innings to keep the score in check.

Jacob Poppe retired the final two batters to earn his first save of the season.

Offensively, R-B was led by Rosing, Rybarski and Wojcik, who each had two hits. Rybarski reached base in each of his four at-bats and had two stolen bases.

Boylan had its chances, especially early, but on three occasions the Rockets pitched out of situations in which Boylan had runners on second and third.

R-B coach Mike Giese said his Rockets still have a lot of work to do but was happy to pick up the win.

“These were some tough conditions to hit in with it being so cold, but we were able to get some offense going,” Giese said, “We were able to pitch out of some tough situations early, which helped. After a tough game yesterday, it was good to get a win today.”

five regional titles. The Wolves won the Fox Valley Conference Fox Division in 2015 and 2016 and finished second in the FVC to Jacobs this season.

But Bradshaw urged the board to look at more than Card’s record. Bradshaw pointed out that Card visited hospitals, bought shoes for players who could not afford them, gave them rides when necessary and frequently opened the gym at 6:30 a.m. so they could get extra shooting.

“What has taken place in the firing of Coach Card has caused me to seriously doubt the effectiveness of [Prairie Ridge’s] leaders, as well as the integrity of the decision-making process,” Bradshaw said. “I am not sure how the administrators could have been this out of touch with reality. I would like to respectfully suggest that you and your team do a full review of the process about the decision to fire coach Card. Apparently Coach Card was fired because, I quote, ‘Other than X’s and O’s, you have lost the passion.’

The facts indicate otherwise.”

Bradshaw received an ovation after his speech, at which point District 155 Superintendent Johnnie Thomas offered this: “I’d like to ask the board to allow the administration to have a little bit more time to further investigate the cause of the action being brought forth to us. And I’d like to suggest if

there was further action, I’d like to have a special board meeting to have that done ahead of the appropriate timeline.”

Board President Ted Wagner pointed out that there was no termination on the agenda for Tuesday night on which to vote, then thanked Bradshaw for his comments.

Junior guard Connor Kazin was one of several players from this year’s team at the meeting. Some others missed because they had a baseball game.

“We all want him back,” Kazin said.

Former player Shane Cullian, now a high school teacher and middle school basketball coach, also came to support Card.

“Playing for Prairie Ridge, you know you’re not competing for state titles or going to supersectionals every year,” Cullian said. “What you are doing is competing at the highest level and becoming a better man in the process. This is a reflection on the impact [Card] has. It’s not just basketball, but the impact he had on young men’s lives. He is a molder of minds and hearts. He is the one who will put you on the right path in case you are unsure where to go. I would not have played college basketball and would not have the opportunity to teach and coach if it were not for Coach Card. He is that significant in my life.”

nitely a confidence booster. I thought, for our first game, we played really well with how young of a team we have.

There’s things to work on, but it’s good to get a win to start the season.”

Before Scholer’s corner kick that found the back of the net with 10:14 remaining in regulation, the only other dangerous chance of the game also came off the foot of the sophomore midfielder for Huntley (1-0, 1-0 FVC).

On another set piece, Scholer’s delivery was punched away by Central goalkeeper Grace Savage (three saves) and eventually cleared away after bouncing near the goal line.

Huntley coach Kris Grabner didn’t expect his team to be crisp in its first action outside this spring, but one thing he said addressing his team was that he was happy they “found a way to win.”

“Part of it was that it was the season opener, but we have to deal with it better than we did today,” Grabner said.

“We were scrambling a little bit with a starter sick, but even so, we have a ways to go before we’re match fit. Today we found a way and got a little bit lucky at the end.”

“There’s definitely work to do, but it’s good that when you’re not at your best that you can find ways to win this early in the year,” senior midfielder and captain Tayah Owens said.

Central (0-2, 0-1) has yet to score a goal in 160 minutes this season, but first-year coach Sarah Fack saw some positives from her team.

The Tigers did manage to get seven shots on goal, but none that were too troubling for Brown.

“I thought we had some really good spurts of play today,” Fack said. “I thought they took advantage of a corner where we fell asleep and we didn’t capitalize on the chances we had.

We’re getting better, and that’s all you can ask for at this point, early in the season.”

CRYSTAL LAKE – The public participation part of District 155’s school board meetings ask those speaking to limit their comments to 3 minutes, but Greg Bradshaw had a lot to say.

The Crystal Lake pastor poured out heartfelt sentiments for Prairie Ridge boys basketball coach Corky Card, who recently was informed he would not be retained as coach.

About 60 people attended the meeting to support Card, most sharing the same feelings for the 15-year Wolves coach that Bradshaw expressed.

Card was in Chicago on Tuesday at Rush University Medical Center, recovering from a partial replacement of his right knee earlier in the day. He was unavailable for comment.

Card’s name did not appear on the agenda, and the board did not vote on his dismissal as coach, but sources said he was one of 15 teachers who

were victims of the district’s reduction in force. As Bradshaw noted before reading his letter, there were current and former assistants along with current and former players from the Prairie Ridge program in attendance.

Even current Crystal Lake Central coach Rich Czeslawski and former Cary-Grove coach Ralph Schuetzle Corky Card were there in support of Card, who teaches physical education at Prairie Ridge.

Greg and Kris Bradshaw had sons Bryan, J.T., Michael and Christopher go through Prairie Ridge’s program.

“A decision to retain or fire a district employee should include these two important factors,” Bradshaw said. “A comprehensive review of the factual information regarding the employee’s performance, and No. 2, a review of what is in the best interest of the families and students they collectively serve. In both regards, principal (Steve) Koch and athletic director (Mark) Gilbert have failed to assess the situation with Coach Card accurately.”

Card is highly regarded around the area for his coaching ability. His teams are 251-182 over his 15 seasons, with

Bulls general manager Jerry Krause speaks to the media Oct. 2, 1995, in Deerfield. Krause, the executive behind the Bulls’ six NBA titles, has died, the team announced Tuesday. He was 77.

It was Krause who pushed the trade that sent Cy Young pitcher LaMarr Hoyt to San Diego in an eight-player deal that landed Guillen.

“Right now a lot of people are like, ‘Oh my God, I feel bad for him, Oh my God, rest in peace,’ but I don’t believe in those people,’’ Guillen said in a phone interview. “A lot of those people weren’t nice to Jerry, and that wasn’t fair. I am who I am because Jerry Krause took the risk, he gambled and I tried my best to make him look good.

“When you’re going to trade LaMarr Hoyt for Ozzie Guillen, and Tony La Russa is the manager you have to answer to, wow, you’re really putting yourself in jeopardy to lose your job. Trade for this kid that was 20 years old who is a little [bleep], that’s amazing. That’s trust in your ability to know talent.’’

Bulls blow big lead down stretch, lose to Raptors in OT

By PAUL ATTFIELD

The Associated Press

TORONTO – DeMar DeRozan had 42 points, and the Toronto Raptors snapped an 11-game losing streak against the Bulls by rallying for a wild 122-120 overtime win Tuesday night.

DeRozan shot 17 of 38 from the

floor and also collected eight assists.

Cory Joseph had 19 points for the Raptors, and Serge Ibaka scored 16 before he was ejected for his role in a memorable fight with Robin Lopez during the third quarter.

Jimmy Butler had 37 points for the Bulls, and Rajon Rondo finished with 24. It was the Bulls’ first loss to Toron-

to since Dec. 31, 2013.

After a Butler 3-pointer with 3:58 remaining in the third quarter, giving the Bulls a 16-point lead, Lopez swatted the ball out of the hand of Ibaka.

The two squared up in the middle of a crowd and Lopez swung and missed Ibaka, who returned in kind,

barely connecting with the head of the center.

Lopez and Ibaka were ejected after a long review period.

Bulls forward Nikola Mirotic and Raptors assistant coach Jamaal Magloire received offsetting technical fouls after getting into a shoving match after the melee.

TORONTO – Jerry Krause, who was the architect of six NBA championships and turned the Bulls into a worldwide brand, died Tuesday after battling numerous health issues.

He was 77 years old.

A member of the Bulls front office for 18 years, Krause was responsible for surrounding Hall of Famer Michael Jordan with the likes of Scottie Pippen, Horace Grant, Toni Kukoc and Dennis Rodman, as well as the hiring of coach Phil Jackson.

“The entire Bulls organization is deeply saddened by the passing of Jerry Krause,’’ chairman Jerry Reinsdorf said in a statement. “Jerry was one of the hardest-working guys I have ever been around, and he was one of the best talent evaluators ever. Jerry played an integral role in our run of six championships in eight years. He truly was the architect of all our great teams in the ’90s. I would not have been elected to the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame if it were not for Jerry. We will miss him tremendously, and we send our thoughts and prayers to his wife, Thelma, and the Krause family.’’

What made the Krause story even more special was that he was a Chicago native, taking over the basketball operations for the Bulls on March 26, 1985.

Before he had that position with the Bulls, he was a scout with the Baltimore Bullets, Phoenix Suns, Los Angeles Lakers and, previously, the Bulls (1969-71), drafting future Hall of Famers Earl Monroe and Wes Unseld.

“I owe a lot to Jerry,’’ VP of basketball operations John Paxson said. “If it weren’t for him bringing me to Chicago in 1985, I probably never would have been a Bull. He had a great eye for talent, and his ability to build a team is unrivaled. He’s one of the best the league has ever seen.’’

It wasn’t just his influence on the Bulls, however, that solidified his place as one of the best talent evaluators in all of sports.

Krause got his start in baseball, and was responsible for the White Sox acquiring the likes of Ozzie Guillen.

That’s what Guillen loved about Krause. He not only was a risk-taker, but stood behind his decisions, despite criticism.

That criticism Guillen brought up became synonymous with Krause, as the Bulls dynasty started to crumble. Jordan and Jackson headlined a long line of critics that took shots at Krause not only professionally, but personally, from the way he spoke to the way he looked.

“It wasn’t fair,’’ Guillen said. “Nobody gave him the credit he should get. To put yourself in two really, really different sports, and have success in both, that’s not easy. When you do that you are successful in life. Watching Jerry in the stands was amazing because he loved baseball. He was the type that would go down to Latin America and spend three, four days just watching Winter Ball. Not too many people did that back then.’’

VP of baseball operations for the White Sox, Ken Williams, shared a similar opinion.

“We talk about his six championships so deservedly you would think he’d have lived long enough to see himself inducted into the Hall of Fame,’’ Williams said, pointing out that Krause still was not part of the Hall. “Hopefully that happens, but it would have been nice for him to see that happen.

But he had a hand in seven championships being that he scouted both Ozzie and myself, and counseled us in the early years of some of the things we had to go through in our general manager, player relationships.

“He’s probably telling his friends up there right now he actually has seven.’’

The Toronto Raptors had a moment of silence before the Tuesday night game with the Bulls, and the Bulls players wore black tape on the left shoulder of their jersey to honor Krause.

According to the team, the plan was to honor Krause for the remainder of the season in some capacity.

“Jerry Krause was a homegrown legend who built a dynasty recognized around the world,’’ Mayor Rahm Emanuel said in a statement. “He will forever be remembered as the architect of one of the most dynamic eras in Chicago sports history, who made the Bulls synonymous with Chicago and brought basketball to the world stage.’’

Krause is survived by his wife, Thelma; his two children, Stacy and David; and, his grandchildren, Colette, Josh, Mia and Riley.

10 WHITE SOX SPRING TRAINING

Anderson signs 6-year, $25M extension Rangers 4, White Sox 3

By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN

dvanschouwen@suntimes.com

GLENDALE, Ariz. – Tim Anderson hasn’t even completed a full season in the major leagues yet, and he’s already a $25 million man.

The White Sox on Tuesday morning announced a six-year contract extension with their young shortstop, a deal that could reach $51.5 million, including two club options in 2023 and 2024.

Anderson will receive $850,000 in 2017, $1 million in 2018, $1.4 million in 2019, $4 million in 2020, $7.25 million in 2021 and $9.5 million in 2022. The Sox hold club options for 2023 at $12.5 million and 2024 at $14 million. If either option is declined, he will receive a $1 million buyout.

“It’s a blessing to be able to get it done,’’ Anderson said. “Now I can go out and play and have fun. It’s been a hectic few days. Now it’s just about having fun now.’’

Anderson, 23, was not eligible to become a free agent until after the 2022 season and wouldn’t be eligible for arbitration until at least 2020. The deal gives Anderson, who is married and has a young daughter, guaranteed financial security while giving the Sox control over two would-be free agent seasons, through 2024.

“We think it has the potential to be a win-win for both sides,’’ general manager Rick Hahn said.

Hahn cited Anderson’s ability, work ethic and the strong belief that the money won’t change him as reasons for pay-

“He’s about trying to be great and trying to win championships,’’ Hahn said.

“He’s not doing this for the money.’’

Anderson certainly felt like a winner standing outside the Sox clubhouse at the Sox’ spring training facility Tuesday.

“For me to be able to tell my mom this, to see the smile on her face was just priceless,’’ Anderson said. “It still seems unreal. It hasn’t really sunk in yet. I was up all night last night talking to my mom and my brother and my dad.

It’s just a great feeling for me to be able to tell my family that.’’

The deal is the richest for a player with less than a year of service time since the Rays signed right-hander Chris Archer, then 25, for $20 million over six years in 2014. Archer’s deal will be worth a total of $43.75 million if the Rays pick up team options for 2020 and 2021.

Anderson batted .283 with nine homers, 10 stolen bases, 30 RBIs and a .738 OPS in 99 games in 2016. A first-round draft choice (17th overall) in 2013, the Sox love his makeup and were thrilled with his steady, productive performance at a premium position after they called him up June 10.

TOP PROSPECTS SENT DOWN Five top prospects were moved out of camp. Right-handers Lucas Giolito, Carson Fulmer, Reynaldo Lopez and infielder Yoan Moncada were optioned to Triple-A Charlotte, and right-hander Michael Kopech was reassigned to minor-league camp.

Moncada and Kopech came from the Red Sox in the Chris Sale trade, and Lopez and Giolito from the Nationals in the Adam Eaton trade. The deals played to rave reviews, and the prospects’ showings in camp did nothing to change them.

Moncada, Lopez, Giolito and Fulmer, the Sox’s first-round draft pick in 2015, most likely will see time in the majors in 2017. Kopech likely will begin at Single-A Winston-Salem and advance to Double-A Birmingham this season. Each of them still can play in spring training games.

SIX SCORELESS FOR SHIELDS James Shields looked as good as he ever has in a Sox uniform with six scoreless innings of three-hit ball. Shields struck out six, including Shin-Soo Choo, Adrian Beltre and Rougned Odor in order in the fourth. Beltre went to a knee flailing at a Shields slider. Shields walked one. He was 6-19 with a 5.85 ERA in 2016.

CUBS SPRING TRAINING

Cubs see bright future for heady rookie Almora

By GORDON WITTENMYER gwittenmyer@suntimes.com

MESA, Ariz. – The play that November night was like the player himself: Easily overlooked in the din and celebration of the bigger names and the larger picture.

But if Albert Almora Jr. doesn’t decide on his own to tag and take second base on Kris Bryant’s deep fly to center in the 10th inning of Game 7, the whole complexion of that two-run inning – and possibly the outcome of the World Series last fall – changes.

“That ended up being a really critical play,” general manager Jed Hoyer said of the surprising chance the pinch-running rookie took just ahead of an intentional walk to Anthony Rizzo.

“Because that walk ended up scoring.”

And the Cubs held on to win by that one-run margin.

And because World Series MVP Ben Zobrist had the big go-ahead double in the 10th, and because the story was about 10 innings of emotional whiplash, a rain-delay players meeting and 108 years of thirst finally quenched, Almora’s Albert heady play tends to get Almora Jr. lost.

But those five seconds on the biggest baseball stage of his life offered a glimpse into why many are confident Almora will become the next touted position prospect to take his place as an impact performer in the Cubs’ lineup.

The first player drafted under team

president Theo Epstein’s front office regime, Almora already is a Gold Glove caliber center fielder – Bryant calls him the best he’s seen – and has a line-drive hitting ability that led to a .277 debut season that included 13 extra-base hits in his 47 games last year.

The instincts and baseball gym-rat sense for the game, however, are what set him apart – a confidence and mature-for-his-age grasp that former Cubs scouting director Tim Wilken identified in the years leading up Almora’s 2012 draft year.

For example, he more than once surprised a runner rounding second on a hit by throwing behind him for an out, Wilken said. For another example, on Monday in a spring game against the Rockies, he singled and then stole second and third in quick succession

against Tyler Anderson, a left-hander with a high leg kick who Almora had faced in one game in Triple-A last year.

And the mother of examples is in the 10th inning of Game 7 of the World Series – after all of 13 weeks of major-league seasoning.

“I don’t get scared too much,” Almora said. “I don’t know if that’s a good thing or a bad thing. But that’s just how I am.

“I knew in that situation [in the Series], my job was to be on second base, either get there and be a hero or get thrown out and everybody hates me.

But my instincts there were to go and to try to make it.”

The instincts are what make Almora one of the more exciting players among the young Cubs to watch play, in a Javy Baez mold but without the flash.

12 CANUCKS 5, BLACKHAWKS 4 (OT)

Hawks rally again for point, fall in OT

By MARK POTASH

CANUCKS 5, BLACKHAWKS 4 (OT)

mpotash@suntimes.com CHICAGO – A good magician can perform the show-stopping escape act once a night, but it’s a little more difficult in the NHL. Two days after they stunned the Avalanche with three goals in 34 seconds and four in 3:02 of the third period to turn defeat into regulation victory, the Blackhawks were at it again Tuesday night against the Vancouver Canucks.

Trailing by three goals in the third period, they rallied to tie on goals by Marian Hossa, Richard Panik and Ryan Hartman before losing, 5-4, in overtime before 21,607 at the United Center.

Daniel Sedin scored on a power play in overtime, beating a screened Scott Darling with a shot from inside the blue line to give the Canucks the victory. Jonathan Toews was in the penalty box for goaltender interference to give the Canucks the 4-on-3 advantage.

The loss snapped a five-game winning streak for the Hawks (47-20-6, 100 points), and cut their Central Division lead to six points over the Minnesota Wild (44-22-6, 94 points), who beat the

The Washington Post

Searching for value, variety and excitement in wine? Look to Italy – or so says Daniele Cernilli.

He is the author of “The Ultimate Guide to Italian Wine 2017,” and a longtime champion of the wines of his native country. The Roman was one of the founding editors of Gambero Rosso, the leading Italian food and wine magazine that grew out of the Slow Food movement in the 1980s. Wine lovers around the world know Gambero Rosso’s “tre bicchieri,” or three glasses, as the highest rating an Italian wine can receive (at least in Italy).

“Italian wines are the new wave for high-quality wines for Americans,” because there are many with high quality for the price, Cernilli told me during a recent industry and consumer tasting at the Mayflower Hotel sponsored by the Wine Scholars Guild. The tasting included about 50 wines that were top scorers in his new guide.

“Quality is higher than Spain, but in price we are lower than France,” Cernilli said, explaining Italy’s appeal to value-conscious consumers.

Those consumers should look for wines from Campania, he said. “The wines there are improving in a tremendous way. It’s the Tuscany of the south,” he said.

He praised Campania for its local grape varieties such as fiano and greco di tufo, as well as wines made with international varieties.

At 62, Cernilli looks every bit the rumpled oenophile, with a wine-softened smile lifting his double chin, and a paunch coaxing out his shirttail. (Believe me, I know the look.) He is conge-

nial, but he bristles at the mention of Gambero Rosso, which he left in 2011 to create his own website, DoctorWine.it.

When a winery representative offered a taste of a Vino Nobile di Montepulciano during the event, saying, “It got tre bicchieri,” Cernilli waved it off and pointed to another wine.

“I created tre bicchieri,” he said.

“I know what it has become. It’s all politics.

“I am too romantic to be in Gambero Rosso today,” he continued. “It is more modern and commercial. They gave 450 tre bicchieri last year. That’s too many high awards. They also do more than 50 events worldwide each year. In my day, we did three.

“I want to be a publisher, not a promoter,” he said.

So in addition to his website, Cer-

nilli has self-published his third annual guide in Italian (and second translated in English) as a counterpart to Gambero Rosso’s annual Guide to Italian Wines, which he edited for more than two decades. In that respect, he is not unlike other prominent writers, such as Wine Spectator’s James Suckling or Wine Advocate’s Antonio Galloni, who have tried to leverage their own reputations independent of the publications that made them famous. It is available for $20 at Eataly in New York and soon will be on Amazon.

This might be a good time for this book. Americans are buying more Italian wine than ever, according to the business news website Il Sole 24 Ore. Italian wine exports to the U.S. market last year topped about $1.9 billion, up 6 percent over 2015.

5 Italian wines to try Here’s an Italian-accented list of weekly recommendations, including one of Daniele Cernilli’s favorite white wines. I include a zingy pinot grigio from Sicily, an intriguing red from the Italian Alps, as well as a delightful Rhone rosé and an inexpensive Bordeaux value from France.

Bucci Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Classico 2015, 2.5 Stars,

Marche, Italy, $23

In “The Ultimate Guide to Italian Wine 2017,” author Cernilli named Bucci’s Riserva 2013 Verdicchio as his white wine of the year. It still can be found in some places at about $60. The classico is nearly as delicious and a much better value.

I love Verdicchio for its faint saline quality, with a hint of seashore herbs and nutty flavor. It’s one of my favorite wines with simple seafood dishes. Branzino, anyone?

Alcohol by volume: 13 percent.

rich, actually. I’d describe it as Bordeaux-like, except that would be an injustice to both Bordeaux and Fumin. It is a fascinating wine.

ABV: 13.5 percent.

La Crotta di Vegneron, Esprit Follet Fumin 2013, 2.5 Stars, Valle

Stars, Sicily, Italy, $11

d’Aoste, Italy, $33

Don’t let the price turn you away from a wine from an obscure grape you’ve never heard of. Fumin has been grown in the Valle d’Aosta in the Alps of northwestern Italy for several centuries; written records of sales to the archbishop of Turin date at least to the late 1600s. It has the focus of high-altitude wines without the austerity; it’s rather

Ziobaffa Pinot Grigio 2016, 2

You’ll want to buy this wine by the case and use it as your summer house white. Certified organic and with an innovative twist-off cork stopper, it is racy, citrusy and scintillatingly refreshing. ABV: 12.5 percent.

Chateau Vieux Duché 2015,

2 Stars, Lalande de Pomerol, Bordeaux, France, $16

This is a “Right Bank” Bordeaux,

meaning it is based on merlot and cabernet franc, and it is a wonderful vintage. This is the time to seek out inexpensive Bordeaux, and the Vieux Duché doesn’t disappoint with its intriguing flavors of plums, smoke, blackberries and mint. ABV: 13 percent.

Domaine Corne-Loup 2016,

2 Stars

This is textbook Tavel: bright red color with vibrant flavors of strawberries, rosemary and thyme.

Lots of fun on a warm day on the patio, or with garlicky or spicy foods. The 2016 is just entering the market and should have wider availability in the coming weeks.

ABV: 14 percent.

Country-Style Cauliflower Breakfast Skillet

Not a lumberjack? You still can eat a filling breakfast

By MELISSA D’ARABIAN The Associated Press

I am a morning person (by choice, not nature, but that’s a story for another time) and breakfast is my favorite meal of the day.

Strong coffee and a hearty morning meal make me feel like I’m on vacation, luxuriating in hashedbrown-and-bacon heaven, without a health or calorie care in the world.

Breakfast menus at truck stops and diners have incredible appeal to a closeted lumberjack like me, with words like grand-slam and breakfast skillet promising a meal that will fill me up for most of the day.

But, eating like a lumberjack when you have a desk job makes no sense, unless you really are on vacation.

For a more quotidian option, try my Country-Style Skillet Breakfast.

I use just a few strips of real pork bacon to keep things feeling authentically diner-ish. Onions, sweet yellow

peppers, spinach and garlic all add a ton of flavor (and nutrients) but hardly any calories.

The real nutrient and calorie-saving workhorse of this recipe, though, is: cauliflower.

I swap out the breakfast-skillet staple hashed browns for riced cauliflower. It works beautifully, and not only do you save the calories of the potatoes, but all the extra fat you need to make those hashed browns crispy and tasty.

You can find riced cauliflower in most neighborhood grocery stores these days, either in the packaged produce aisle or the freezer. Or, simply pulse up a bunch of cauliflower florets in a food processor until it is cut into rice-sized pieces. The cauliflower is just bland enough it takes on the flavors of the rest of the ingredients and provides enough heft to house eggs broken right into the skillet. The result is rustic, gorgeous and filling.

Country-Style Cauliflower Breakfast Skillet Start to finish: 25 minutes Servings: 4

3 slices of bacon, cut into small pieces 1/2 yellow or sweet onion, chopped (about 1 cup) 1/2 yellow bell pepper, chopped (about 1/2 cup) 3 cloves garlic, minced 1 teaspoon dried herbes de provence (or dried oregano or thyme) 1 teaspoon smoked paprika 3 cup cauliflower rice (raw) 1 tablespoon lemon juice 10 ounce frozen chopped spinach, thawed and excess moisture gently squeezed out 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper Chopped parsley, for garnish 4 eggs, cracked into 4 small ramekins or bowls

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In large oven-safe skillet, cook bacon over medium low heat until starting to crisp, about 5 minutes. Add onion and bell pepper and cook until tender, about 6 minutes. Add the minced garlic, herbs and smoked paprika and stir.

Add the cauliflower and cook until tender, about 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the lemon juice, stir, and then the spinach, and stir until well-combined. Remove from heat and sprinkle the cheese evenly over the mixture. Gently make four wells in the mixture with a wooden spoon. Spray each well with nonstick spray. Pour one egg into each well. Bake until eggs are done, about 7-8 minutes for runny yolk, longer for firmer yolk. Sprinkle with black pepper, more salt if needed, parsley and serve.

4 Pumpkin Chia

Cheesy Baked Grits served with bacon and eggs

Breakfast Pudding nutritious, delicious

AP photo

By ELIZABETH KARMEL The Associated Press

Everyone I know is looking for a quick breakfast that is loaded with healthy ingredients and great taste. A few years ago, when the chia seed became popular for something besides the “Chia Pet,” I started to experiment with them.

Chia seeds are tiny little powerhouses of fiber, protein and Omega-3 fatty acids that become swollen and gelatinous when you add them to liquid.

I made lots of different “pudding” concoctions, and my favorite is this Pumpkin Chia Breakfast Pudding. Pumpkin is low in calories and loaded with vitamins and fiber. More importantly, it tastes great, especially with the addition of our muchloved pumpkin spice mixture of cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, allspice and cloves. I make this pudding with hazelnut milk and vanilla Greek yogurt, making it a high-protein dish. If you can’t find hazelnut milk, you can use any unsweetened nut milk. The extra yogurt gives the pudding added body so it doesn’t taste watery. It’s sweetened with maple syrup, the perfect pairing for the pumpkin and spices.

Serve the pumpkin pudding with your favorite fresh fruit, crunchy green pumpkin seeds and a drizzle of maple syrup for a happy awakening.

Pumpkin Chia Breakfast Pudding Servings: 8 Start to finish: 5 minutes

1 cup hazelnut or other unsweetened nut milk 1 cup vanilla Greek yogurt ¼ cup maple syrup 1 cup chia seeds 1/2 15-ounce can of Farmer’s Market organic pumpkin pie mix with all the spices or 8-ounce of pumpkin purée and 1 tablespoon of pumpkin pie spice Mix all ingredients well. Refrigerate in a closed container overnight. Will keep in the refrigerator for a week.

Placed ½ cup of pudding in a bowl. Garnish as desired with a dollop of yogurt, a tablespoon of pumpkin seeds for crunch, a drizzle of maple syrup and your favorite fruit for serving.

Cheesy Baked Grits a deeply satisfying staple for any meal

By SARA MOULTON The Associated Press

A kind of carbo-licious porridge made from dried and coarsely ground corn, grits are to Southern cuisine what potatoes are to Northern cuisine – a deeply satisfying staple. Like squash, tomatoes and deep-pit barbecuing, grits came to define Southern cooking via the cuisines of southeast American Indian tribes such as the Caddo, Choctaw and Seminole.

These days, we’re starting to see grits all over the country. Often they’ll show up at breakfast seasoned with salt and pepper, topped with a pat of butter and nestled alongside some bacon and eggs. They’re also a signature element in Shrimp and Grits, one of the succulent delights of the cuisine of coastal South Carolina and Georgia, which also has migrated widely.

But wonderful as they are, grits can be a chore – if not slightly dangerous – to make. I’m speaking of regular old-fashioned stone-ground grits, which trump “quick grits” and “instant grits” in both flavor and texture. Made the usual way, old-fashioned grits need to be stirred relentlessly to avoid clumping. You also have to handle with care; this hot mush has a tendency to bubble up and burn the cook.

Here’s a way to avoid those problems: Make it in the oven instead of on the stovetop. You simply combine the grits and the liquid in a ceramic pie dish (a total of 10 minutes hands-on time) and pop it into the oven for 45 to 50 minutes. Then stir in the flavorings – sharp cheddar cheese, in this case

– and it’s done. How easy is that?

One note, though. The ceramic pie plate (or any shallow ceramic baking dish with the same capacity) is key. Pie plates made of metal or glass do not conduct heat as effectively.

Shrimp and Grits

Start to finish: 1 hour, 5 minutes (10 active) Servings: 4 to 6 2½ cups water combined with either 2½ cups vegetable or chicken broth or 5 cups water 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, cut into pieces 1 cup grits (not quick-cooking) 1 teaspoon kosher salt 4 ounces grated sharp cheddar Freshly ground black pepper to taste Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Stir together the water, butter, grits and salt (if using salted vegetable or chicken stock, do not add salt) in a 1-quart ceramic pie plate set on a rimmed sheet pan. Bake on the middle shelf of the oven, uncovered, for 50 minutes. Remove from the oven and preheat the broiler. Stir in three-quarters of the cheese, stirring until melted. Taste and season with additional salt and pepper if needed. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top and put the grits on a shelf in the upper third of the oven, under the broiler until nicely browned. Serve right away.

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

The Associated Press

Like many families, we try to minimize the amount of processed sugar we eat. But, it is lurking everywhere, and we are eating far more processed sugar than our grandparents did.

How to combat this trend that seems to have sneaked up on us?

A few ideas: First, let’s read the ingredient list and nutritional information on labels of every single food item we put in our carts. That sounds like a lot of work, but as we get familiar with our favorite foods, the task will become less daunting.

But we need to know exactly what is in our food, and you might be surprised by what “healthy-sounding” foods have processed sugar or other weird ingredients and chemicals hiding in them. Remember that sugar can have lots of different names, such as “syrup” or “sucrose” (the suffix “ose” usually means sugar), so the sugar gram count can be helpful.

Second, buy more foods without labels. When we buy whole foods and then cook them ourselves, we know exactly what is going into them.

Third, favor sugar from natural, unprocessed, whole sources. While fruit-sweetened foods still have sugar, it’s not a highly processed derivative, and it brings with its sweetness a full set of other nutrients. Bananas, apples and dates bring vitamins, minerals and fiber along with their

sugars. Try recipes using them as sweeteners.

Last, keep production of treat items in-house, meaning make less healthy items homemade, so you can control what goes in. At minimum, you’ll likely be skipping a host of flavors and preservatives than if you bought a store-made brownie sitting on the shelf for days or weeks.

My banana oat morning minimuffins don’t use any white processed sugar, and yet are just sweet enough to scratch the sweet-tooth itch. I usually bake a batch or two and freeze them for a quick breakfast or snack on-on-the-go, or to add a treat to their lunchbox or to a family Sunday brunch. They’re small so they thaw in minutes. As a bonus for our family, I easily can make these little guys gluten-friendly for my intolerant

daughter since there’s no wheat flour in the recipe – I just use gluten-free oats.

Banana Oat Breakfast Mini-Muffins Servings: 26 muffins Start to finish: 40 minutes

1/2 cup (gently packed) pitted dates 2 tablespoons coconut oil (or other oil or butter) 2 medium bananas, ripe, roughly chopped 2 eggs, room temperature 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 1¼ cups rolled oats (gluten-free, if making gluten-free) 3/4 cup almond flour 1½ teaspoons baking powder 1/4 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Mix the wet ingredients: Place the dates in a small bowl and pour 1/2 cup boiling water on them and let them sit for 5 minutes to soften.

Once soft, pour off the excess water (do not drain; leave them very wet), and use a fork to smash the dates gently into a loose paste. In a stand mixer using the whisk attachment (or hand mixer), mix the date paste, coconut oil and bananas on medium high speed until soft and creamy, about 2 minutes.

Add the eggs one at a time, mixing after each one, and add the vanilla. Prepare the dry ingredients: Place the oats in a dry blender or food processor and pulse until oats become a coarse powder.

Pour into a bowl and add almond flour, baking powder and soda, cinnamon and salt and whisk to mix. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients half at a time, mixing after each addition. If the dough becomes too thick for the whisk attachment, fold in using a rubber spatula.

Use a small ice-cream scoop or a tablespoon to scoop dough into a mini-muffin pan fitted with paper liners.

Bake until muffins spring back to the touch, about 17-20 minutes.

Get the most flavor out of lemons with pound cake muffins

By SARA MOULTON The Associated Press

Fresh lemon – including the juice and the peel – is one of my all-time favorite ingredients, in part because it’s just so versatile. It can be the star of the show (as in this recipe) or a brilliant supporting actor (as in so many of my everyday dishes).

The great thing about lemon peel, also known as the zest, is it adds intense lemon flavor to a recipe without all the acid that is found in the juice.

Whichever parts you use, it’s important to start with the best possible lemons. The winning candidates will boast a bright yellow color and a thin skin. A thin skin signals more juice and less pith (the bitter-tasting white layer between the peel and the fruit itself). When grating the peel, you want to stop short of the pith.

Once home with your lemons, scrub each one lightly under water to remove the edible wax with which it was covered to protect the fruit on

its journey to the market. Grate the zest before you juice the lemon, but don’t grate the zest until just before you’re ready to add it to the recipe as it quickly dries out.

There are several ways to make sure you squeeze the maximum amount of juice from your lemon.

First, soften up the fruit by rolling it on the counter and pressing down as you do. Second, heat it, either by microwaving it for 20 seconds or so or by stashing it in the oven at 350 degrees F. for 10 to 12 minutes. Finally, cut the lemon in half crosswise and juice it.

These muffins are quite rich and would indeed be a delightful morning splurge on a special occasion.

Made with juice and zest, their deep lemon flavor is complemented by the raspberries.

Lemon Raspberry Pound Cake Muffins Start to finish: 45 minutes (15 minutes active)

Servings: 8 1 cup (4½ ounces) cake flour (not selfrising) 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 1/4 teaspoon table salt 1/4 cup grated lemon zest 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened 3/4 cup granulated sugar 3 large eggs 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/4 cup heavy cream 2 tablespoons plus 1½ teaspoons lemon juice, divided 1 pint raspberries 1/4 cup plus 2 teaspoons powdered sugar Heat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line a cupcake tin with 8 paper cupcake liners.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt and lemon zest.

In a large bowl with an electric mixer, beat together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition, then beat in the vanilla. Add half the flour mixture

and mix just until combined. Beat in the cream and 2 tablespoons of the lemon juice.

Add the remaining flour mixture, beating just until combined.

Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling them halfway. Press 4 raspberries gently into the center of the batter in each cup, then top with more batter, filling the cups just up to the tops of the liners.

Bake the cupcakes on the oven’s center shelf until golden on top and a toothpick inserted at the center comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Transfer the cakes to a wire rack and let cool completely.

While the cupcakes are baking, make the glaze. In a small bowl whisk together the powdered sugar and remaining lemon juice until smooth. When the cupcakes are cooled, drizzle the glaze over each cake.

Chickpea crepes boast flavor – and nutrition

By SARA MOULTON The Associated Press

I’ve always loved crepes, those elegant, paper-thin French pancakes.

They’re great containers for any filling and – as long as you have the proper pan – they’re really a cinch to make.

But let’s face it, the typical flour-based crepe is pretty bland. It’s a messenger, not a message. We care far less about the crepe itself than we do about what’s wrapped up in it.

But what if the crepe boasted some flavor and nutrition? Enter chickpea flour. Popular throughout the Middle East and Asia, as well as along the Mediterranean, it’s a good source of protein and fiber and happens to be quite tasty, almost nutty. Today’s recipe is a variation on a swell little chickpea pancake that’s known as socca in southern France and farinata in northern Italy.

Socca is delicious, but texture-wise, it’s sturdy, not pliable. I wanted to make a chickpea pancake that was thin enough to fold like a crepe. So I added some eggs and a tiny amount of flour.

Anything you might want to put into a crepe or tortilla, you can put into a chickpea crepe. Here I’ve taken an Indian vegetarian route, but if you happen to be short of time, combine any leftovers you have in the refrigerator – instant dinner, without the empty carbs.

Chickpea Crepes Stuffed with Indian Spiced Potatoes and Peas Start to finish: 1 hour, 10 minutes (45 active) Servings: 4

For the crepes: 1/2 chickpea flour (available at many supermarkets and online) 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/8 teaspoon baking soda 2 large eggs 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus extra for brushing the pan For the filling: 1/2 pound Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces 2 cups chopped (1/4 to 1/2-inch pieces) cauliflower 3 tablespoons vegetable oil Kosher salt 1 teaspoon cumin seeds 1 teaspoon mustard seeds 1 cup finely chopped onion 2 teaspoons minced chile (with the seeds and veins) 2 teaspoons finely chopped ginger 1/2 teaspoon garam masala

1/2 cup thawed frozen peas 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro, plus extra for garnish Make the crepes: In a medium bowl sift together the chickpea flour, all-purpose flour, salt and baking soda. In a second medium bowl, whisk the eggs, add 1/2 cup water and the oil; mix well. Add the liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients and whisk until there are no lumps.

Let the batter rest for 30 minutes. (Make the filling while the batter is resting.)

Brush the bottom of an 8-inch nonstick skillet and a 1/2-inch up the sides with a little oil and heat the pan over medium-high heat until it is hot. Whisk the batter to remix. Add slightly more than 1/8 cup of the batter to the pan and working quickly, pick up and tilt the pan so that the batter coats the bottom. Let the crepe cook for 45 seconds to 1 minute or until it is set. Flip the crepe and cook it for 30 seconds on the second side. Transfer it to a plate and make more crepes with the remaining batter. You should have at least 8 crepes.

Make the filling: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. In a small saucepan combine the potatoes with enough cold, salted water to cover by 2 inches. Bring to a boil and simmer until tender, about 5 to 8 minutes.

On a rimmed sheet pan lined with parchment or foil, toss the cauliflower with 1 tablespoon of the oil and a hefty pinch of salt. Arrange it in one layer and bake it on the middle shelf of the oven until golden, about 15 to 20 minutes. Set aside and reduce the oven to 300 degrees F. In a medium skillet combine the remaining 2 tablespoons vegetable oil with the cumin and mustard seeds. Cover the skillet and cook over medium heat until the seeds become fragrant and start popping, about 2 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium low and add the onion, chile, ginger and garam masala. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is golden.

When the potatoes are tender, transfer them to a bowl and mash them with a potato masher or fork until mostly mashed with a few lumps (don’t overdo it or you will get gluey potatoes).

Add the cauliflower, onion mixture, peas, lemon juice, cilantro and salt to taste; stir until combined.

Arrange 8 crepes on a cutting board and divide the potato mixture among them (about 1/4 cup per crepe). Roll up the crepes to enclose the filling and transfer them to the rimmed sheet, seam side down. Cover with foil and bake them on the middle shelf of the oven until hot, about 10 minutes.

Vegetable patties hold their own

sic. But I’d rather not set up unreasonable expectations. I took the name from the source, Robin Robertson’s book “Veganize It!,” and I like emphasizing what the cakes are – not what they’re not.

The flavor hints at seafood because of the Old Bay and nori, but the texture gives these an identity all their own.

Hearts of Palm and Artichoke Cakes 6 to 8 cakes

3 tablespoons olive oil 1/2 medium onion, minced (1/2 cup) 1 rib celery, minced (1/4 cup) 2 teaspoons minced garlic Hearts of palm from one 14-ounce jar, well drained, patted dry and coarsely chopped (1½ cups)

Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil shimmers, stir in the onion and celery; cook until softened, 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute.

Remove from the heat to cool.

Combine the hearts of palm, artichoke hearts, Old Bay seasoning, cornstarch, nori flakes and mayonnaise in a mixing bowl. Add the cooled onion mixture and 1/4 cup of the panko; mix well. Divide into 6 to 8 equal portions, then shape them into soft cakes, about 1 to 2 inches thick.

Place the remaining 1/2 cup panko in a shallow bowl. Coat the cakes with the bread crumbs, pressing gently as needed to make them stick; refrigerate for 20 minutes or longer.

Wipe out the skillet and set it over medium-high heat. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil; once it shimmers, and working in batches as needed, gently place the cakes in the skillet and cook until golden brown on each side and

warmed through, 3 to 4 minutes a side.

Serve hot, with lemon wedges and greens.

Marinated artichoke hearts from one 6-ounce jar, well drained, patted dry and coarsely chopped (3/4 cup) You look at the photo and think, 2 teaspoons Old Bay Seasoning “crab cakes,” right?

Very shy, microchip, lost February 1st Fox River Dr., Harvest Glen area, Cary.

REWARD! 84 7-639-9504

Paul Simon, in “The Sounds of Silence,” wrote the line: “People hearing without listening.”

At a bridge table where bidding boxes are being used, that would have to be: “People seeing without listening.” A good bridge player, though, is never deaf to the auction: He interprets all of the calls, whether by his partner or the opponents, and puts the information to good use. In today’s deal, South was in three notrump, and West led the heart eight.

What should have happened after that?

South did not like to overcall one no-trump with that heart holding. He was worried that partner might hold queen-doubleton, which would have provided a second stopper if North were the declarer. But nothing would have more accurately described the nature and strength of South’s hand.

Declarer started with seven top tricks. Since only 12 high-card points were missing, the club finesse was bound to provide an eighth winner, but since the diamond finesse was doomed, from where would trick nine come?

South ducked the first trick and took the second to learn the heart break. Then he cashed his six blacksuit tricks with the aid of the club finesse. East followed throughout in clubs and cleverly discarded the diamond jack(!) on the third spade. He was hoping declarer would believe that he had blanked the diamond king. However, South knew that 2-53-3 distribution was more likely than 2-5-2-4 and decided to let East get into the newspapers if he’d had the courage to pitch a diamond from a doubleton.

Declarer exited with his last heart.

As he hoped, at trick 12, East had to lead away from the diamond king into dummy’s ace-queen.
