Floral failure proves to be tale of springtime tenacity One of my favorite signs of spring actually is a small act of defiance.

This little rebel has been sprouting like clockwork for years. To most people it might seem to be an epic failure, but to me it’s as welcome as the lengthening days.

It never amounts to much, this single, solitary tulip leaf. In all these years, it’s never bloomed, never once fully made it to a flower. Yet, its mere existence is a testament to its grit. And evidence that it – and I – won at least one battle that fateful autumn about a decade ago.

Back then I had gotten it into my head that I should try to plant a bunch of daffodil and tulip bulbs so that my little homestead would look cheery and bright in the spring. Perhaps I had been reading too many home improvement and decorating magazines.

Anyway, I had bought what seemed to me to be a lot of bulbs and I plotted my strategy to have them look “natural.” This means that I planted them willy-nilly, but we can pretend that there was method to my madness.

The day, as I recall, did not go according to the preconceived notion I had about this project. For one, it was a lot more work than I had thought. Eventually all of those bulbs made it into the ground, although I might have planted the last few a bit closer to the surface than would have been prudent.

Once it was done, I just had to wait until spring to see the fruits of my labor, right? The squirrels and chipmunks who share my yard had other ideas. As in, they viewed all of my work as unnecessary burying of their breakfast, lunch and dinner.

I know, I know, there are ways to keep bulbs

The McHenry County Sheriff’s Office announced the results of an enforcement campaign conducted during the St. Patrick’s Day holiday designed to crack down on drunken drivers and seat belt violations.

During the Click It or Ticket and Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over campaigns, the sheriff’s office joined other state and local law enforcement agencies across Illinois to reduce highway fatalities.

The department issued the following tickets during the campaign:

WHERE IT’S AT

from being devoured. Hot pepper, cat fur, you name it, I’ve of heard it. Maybe I should have at least tried something. But, alas, I did not.

So I had the joy of watching the squirrels and chipmunks dig up those bulbs. One particularly malevolent rodent decided to leave a half-eaten bulb out on my patio table so that I could see its handiwork. Little jerk.

Needless to say, the following spring was not the triumph of blooms for which I had hoped.

What I got was one little tulip leaf.

At first, the thing just made me sad. After all of that work, all I could muster was the spring equivalent of Charlie Brown’s Christmas tree.

Then it dawned on me. Somehow, in planting it probably too deep, I rendered that bulb inaccessible. In fact, that little tulip leaf grows in an area that I’m very sure is filled with chipmunk tunnels.

Each and every time it sprouts, it’s actually saying, “Neener, neener, you can’t get me,” to the chipmunks and squirrels. And although many years have passed, those rodents still haven’t won.

Just the other day, I spotted that familiar little tulip leaf, defiant as always, and I smiled.

It’s spring at last.

CITY COUNCIL CONTENDERS Candidates focused on city’s economic development

By NATE LINHART

nlinhart@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – Bringing more businesses to Crystal Lake continues to be the main point of discussion for City Council candidates.

Five candidates – two challengers and three incumbents – are seeking three seats on the Crystal Lake City Council in the April 4 election.

Incumbents Cameron Hubbard, Ralph Dawson and Haig Haleblian are facing challengers Stefano Liparoto and Sally Munn.

Munn declined to comment for this story.

Haleblian, who was appointed in January 2016 to fill the remainder of former City Council member Jeff Thorsen’s term, said he’d like to see more shopping come to Crystal Lake.

“We’re on the right trajectory,” Haleblian said. “We just need to fill in some vacant spots in retail. ... It’s remarkable how full the downtown area is, and we just need to bring in different retail shops and restaurants to the rest of Crystal Lake.

“What’s going on with Three Oaks and the quarry is just a start, and I think there’s other things we can do to really make Crystal Lake a better place to live,” Haleblian said.

Hubbard, who has been on the council for four years after originally being appointed in December 2012, said he’s running again to keep good businesses in the community and bring more businesses – and jobs – in.

“We need to know as a community what these employers want in order to consider moving here and bringing more jobs here,” Hubbard said.

“I’d like to see us continue our partnerships with other governments or agencies to keep jobs staying here and coming here,” Hubbard said. “We want to keep a good relationship with the county and County Board and make sure we provide good transportation into McHenry County, so manufacturers are able to easily get their supplies and materials into the city and their

product out.”

Dawson, who has been on the council for the past 18 years, said he’s running again because he wants to continue to be a part of the city’s development.

“I’ve been totally involved in the Three Oaks project since the day it started,” Dawson said. “And it’s become a great recreational area.”

Dawson said while the city is on the right path, there still is a long way to go in terms of helping the city.

“We still have to solicit people to come to Crystal Lake because of all the things we have to offer. ... With Mariano’s coming, that’s the type of thing we have to do to help the city,” Dawson said, referring to city leaders recently announcing that the grocery chain will be opening a new store at the location of the Sears at 105 Route 14.

Liparoto said he’s running to provide a fresh perspective to the city government while reinforcing the city’s past accomplishments.

“I think it’s an important challenge to differentiate what types of businesses we’re bringing into the area,” Liparoto said. “Do we become the Mall of America or do we really try and address a balance in create the right types of jobs that our residents reflect?”

Liparoto said there’s a sensitive balance of types of businesses that need to come into the area.

“We have to look at if [the new businesses] attract a variety of salaries, technologies, educations and experiences,” Liparoto said. “ … And we have to identify new funds to bring into the city.”

Liparoto and the three incumbents also addressed budget concerns because of a lack of state funding, saying they plan to help come up with creative ways to fund city projects and services.

“The city of Crystal Lake is a really special place, but we really need to be cognitive of the external forces outside of Crystal Lake that can negatively impact it,” Liparoto said.

Morning crash sends 3 to hospital

Route 14 shut down for 8 hours after wreck near Woodstock

By JORDYN REILAND

jreiland@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – Firefighters spent nearly two hours working to free two people trapped in their vehicles after a crash early Tuesday morning near Woodstock.

The crash closed Route 14 for nearly eight hours. A firefighter also was taken to the hospital after being injured during the extrication.

The McHenry County Sheriff’s Office, Woodstock Police Department, Woodstock Fire Protection District, Harvard Fire Protection District and the Crystal Lake Fire Protection District were called to the two-vehicle crash at 3:25 a.m. Tuesday near Route 14 and Hughes Road.

Woodstock Fire/Rescue District Chief Michael Hill said a 2009 Volvo truck pulling a partially loaded 53-foot trailer had rolled over and had “heavy damage.”

Cathleen Holtz, 67, of Richmond was driving a 2005 Dodge Caravan north on Hughes Road when she failed to stop at a stop sign, according to a preliminary investigation of the crash. Gerald Grapenthien, 65, of Arlington Heights was driving the semitrailer west on Route 14 when he struck Holtz at the intersection, according to a news release.

Firefighters were able to free Holtz from the minivan at 4:25 a.m. An ambulance took her to Centegra Hospital – McHenry with serious injuries. Later, she was moved to Advocate Lutheran General Hospital in Park Ridge. Grapenthien was extricated at 5:11 a.m. and tak-

A Woodstock firefighter/paramedic was taken to Centegra Hospital – Woodstock in stable condition for treatment for a back injury from extrication efforts.

Both Holtz and Grapenthien were wearing seat belts at the time of the crash. No air bags were deployed in either vehicle.

Flight for Life was first called for both drivers involved in the crash, but the weather kept the helicopter on the ground, Hill said.

Holtz remained in critical condition at Advocate Lutheran General Hospital as of 6 p.m. Tuesday. Centegra officials declined to comment on Grapenthien’s condition, citing patient privacy laws.

A Nixle alert was sent out about 6:18 a.m. alerting motorists that Route 14 between Dimmel and Rose Farm roads

would be closed for several hours to clear the road and for further investigation of the crash by the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office.

The road was reopened at 11 a.m. Tuesday, nearly eight hours after the crash.

A 29-year-old Spring Grove man was killed in a two-vehicle crash at the same intersection in October 2016.

In that crash, a semitrailer, driven by a 44-year-old man from North Dakota, was traveling northwest on Route 14 while a 2012 Chevy Cruze, driven by the Spring Grove man, was headed south on Hartland Road, the sheriff’s office previously said. The Chevy Cruze stopped at a stop sign at the intersection and then drove into the path of the semitrailer. The driver of the Chevy was pronounced dead at the scene, and the truck driver was uninjured, the sheriff’s office said.

Hebron trustee’s blood-alcohol level below legal limit, DA says

By JORDYN REILAND

jreiland@shawmedia.com ELKHORN, Wis. – Hebron trustee and Lake in the Hills Police Sgt. Mark Mogan drank two beers hours before a fatal crash in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, but prosecutors did not charge him because his blood-alcohol level was “well below” the legal limit, the Walworth County district attorney said.

Mogan, 49, who also is a Lake in the Hills police sergeant, was arrested by Lake Geneva police in December on suspicion of drunken driving after he struck 29-year-old Samantha L. Norris about 5:20 p.m. Dec. 27. Norris was crossing the road at Edwards Boulevard and Route 120 in Lake Geneva. Two Lake Geneva police officers testified in February that they could smell alcohol on Mogan’s breath after the crash.

Norris was taken in critical condition to Froedtert Hospital in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, where she died days later, authorities have said.

District Attorney Zeke Wiedenfeld sent a letter to the Lake Geneva Police Department the same day that he told a Walworth County judge that his office would not file criminal charges against Mogan. The March 16 letter explained his decision not to charge Mogan.

Mogan refused to give a preliminary breath test and a field sobriety test at the time of the crash. He also refused tests at the police station. After getting a warrant, authorities took a sample of his blood at 8:44 p.m., more than three hours after the crash. Police found evidence that Mogan did drink alcohol that evening.

Investigators reviewed purchases made on Mogan’s credit card and interviewed an employee at a restaurant in Kenosha, Wisconsin. The employMark G. ee told police that MoMogan gan drank two 22-ounce Samuel Adams beers with his two-hour meal, the letter said.

“Using the Wisconsin Department of Transportation Alcohol Chart for Males, it appears that the defendant’s blood alcohol concentration was well below 08g/100mL at the time of the crash,” Wiedenfeld wrote. Wiedenfeld also wrote that prosecutors were able to rule out other factors. He said a reconstruction report and collision analysis provided by the Wisconsin State Patrol found that Mogan was driving about 35 to 40 mph in the seconds before the crash. The posted speed limit at the intersection was 30 mph.

“Excessive speed was ruled out as a contributing factor in the crash,” Wiedenfeld wrote.

Norris was walking east when she crossed the intersection. She was walking when the sign displayed the “don’t walk” symbol and southbound traffic on Edwards Boulevard had a green light. At the time of the crash, Norris was wearing a dark-colored jacket and dark-colored blue jeans, Wiedenfeld said.

Cellphone records showed Mogan wasn’t texting or talking on his phone at the time of the crash, Wiedenfeld said.

“There is no evidence of distracted driving, other than the crash itself,” Wiedenfeld wrote.

Mogan’s license was revoked for one year in February after a refusal hearing where Walworth County Judge Phil Koss said that Mogan’s refusal to submit to a blood test after the crash was not proper. That will remain in effect as it’s separate from the criminal allegations.

Mogan has been with the Lake in the Hills Police Department for about 23 years. He has since returned to his regular assignment on “full duty” at the department. He is running for Hebron village president in the April 4 consolidated election against incumbent John Jacobson, Kimberly Martinez and former Village President Frank Beatty.

“I talked to the team and they’re doing a lot of damage control with this, so it’s not fair to them,” Crystal Lake resident Scott Vetter said.

Vetter was running on a platform with Donna Kurtz, John Pletz and Raphael Kamner to cut property taxes.

Vetter still will be on the ballot for the April 4 election.

“I have to do what’s right for this team. All three of them are such great people and really want to do good things,” Vetter said.

The slate withdrawal followed screenshots of his old Twitter account recently surfacing online, reveal-

ing profanity-ridden remarks. Vetter claims the ones that were racist and anti-religious were not written by him and his account had been hacked.

Kurtz and Pletz confirmed that Vetter has withdrawn from the slate.

“Our mission will remain the same,” Pletz said. “We are running to protect the taxpayer, we are running to keep the schools open and we are running to maintain the same quality of education.”

“The fact that Scott is withdrawing from the slate says that he believes in the mission that all of us undertook when we decided to run,” Kurtz said.

“That mission was to serve this community with better education and give the taxpayers a voice.”

Kamner said he’s known Vetter for many years and believes Vetter’s claims that the account was hacked.

“He is not a racist now nor has he ever been, and he’s not anti-religious,” Kamner said.

“I’m glad he’s still going to remain active in the campaign. He’s just distancing himself from us, and it’s been a pleasure campaigning with him,” Kamner said.

Despite the recent controversy, Vetter said he’s still hoping to get elected.

“I understand the gravity of this and don’t want it to reflect on the other three in any way because they are great people,” Vetter said. “But, I would still love to win.”

Nine candidates are running for four open seats on the District 155 board, which governs Crystal Lake Central, Crystal Lake South, Cary-Grove and Prairie Ridge high schools. Those running are Ron Ludwig, Jason Blake, David Secrest, Nicole Pavoris, Ann Somers, Pletz, Kurtz, Kamner and Vetter.

Ludwig, Blake and Pavoris have been endorsed by the District 155 Education Association, an employees union. Somers and Secrest are incumbents.

Sears shuts its doors

Candidates discuss Longmeadow Parkway

Trustee incumbents, challengers split on vision for project

By HANNAH PROKOP

hprokop@shawmedia.com ALGONQUIN – Three newcomers are looking to unseat three longtime Algonquin trustees in the April 4 consolidated election.

Incumbents Brian Dianis, Bob Smith and Jerry Glogowski are being challenged by Janis Jasper, Laura Brehmer and Greg Ligman.

All candidates would like to see more economic development to help increase the tax base in the village – but they have different ideas on how to do this.

“I think we’ve got some remarkable things in progress right now, and I just really want to see them through,”

Dianis said.

He, along with Smith and Glogowski, have been proponents of Longmeadow Parkway.

The project includes building a four-lane, Bob Smith 5-mile toll road and a four-lane Fox River bridge crossing to try to reduce traffic congestion in northern Kane County.

“It’s really designed to help people move through town a lit Janis Jasper tle more effectively,” Smith said.

The incumbent trustees also said they expect Longmeadow Parkway to boost activity in the village’s corporate campus, off Randall Road on Corporate Parkway.

The three challengers, all of whom live near Longmeadow Parkway, have opposed the project.

All said they were prompted to run because of the way the project was

pushed through, despite some community disapproval.

“After watching some of those meetings and how residents were disregarded and not lisJerry tened to, it made me feel Glogowski like something needs to be done,” Brehmer said.

Ligman said he’d like to see business grow by enhancing the existing structures and infrastructure in the commuGreg Ligman nity.

“I see our bedroom community being destroyed with too much construction,” Ligman said.

Jasper also emphasized the need for a balance between commercial interests and residential needs.

“People moved here because of the more rural feel to this area,” Jasper said. “They’re not going to stay here if this area changes dramatically.”

The incumbents and challengers see a need to develop the east side of the village and invest in the downtown.

About $6.3 million in downtown infrastrucBrian Dianis ture improvements has been budgeted for the next fiscal year, something Glogowski said was necessary if more businesses are to come downtown.

“I really want to make our downtown a destination place,” GloLaura gowski said.

Brehmer Smith said he’s proud of the work the village has done recently, and when there are controversial issues, trustees have to look at what’s best for the community as a whole.

There is something to be said for experience, Jasper said; however, she feels new people are needed to bring a fresh perspective.

Lottery manager still on job after firing

By SARA BURNETT The Associated Press

CHICAGO – When Illinois lawmakers voted in 2009 to hire a private company to run the state’s $2 billion-a-year lottery, they had high hopes of making more money that could be funneled into education and construction projects.

Then the company missed sales goals, and two governors tried to fire Northstar Lottery Group. But Northstar remains on the job more than two years later, and the firm now is able to collect millions of dollars more in fees than under its original contract, an Associated Press review found.

“It shouldn’t be this hard to fire somebody,” said former state Rep. Jack Franks, a Democrat who opposed the private management system and wants the state to resume running the lottery.

Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner’s administration said the delay reflects the challenges Illinois and other states have faced since turning some lottery operations over to the private sector. Indiana and New Jersey also hired private managers after Illinois in 2010 became the first state to do so.

All three states have lowered revenue projections or restructured contracts because of disappointing sales.

A replacement firm for Illinois was supposed to have been hired by Jan. 1 under a termination agreement negotiated by Rauner in 2015 – about one year after his predecessor, Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn, tried to end the contract.

But a new manager has yet to be hired. Instead, Illinois has extended Northstar’s contract once and is work-

Lottery spokesman Jason Schaumburg said the transition – including ensuring there’s no disruption at the roughly 8,000 locations where lottery tickets are sold – is complicated.

“While getting a new manager in place in a timely manner is of great importance to the state, our priority is to ensure we are getting the best deal for taxpayers and that the new manager performs at a level taxpayers deserve,” Schaumburg said.

agreement Rauner’s office negotiated with Northstar, the company may receive up to $17 million a year in “disentanglement fees” in addition to management fees of up to $14 million annually.

Unlike under the original contract, which paid a flat management fee of about $14 million, the payments reflect actual costs as determined by a third-party auditor. In the fiscal year that ended July 1, the company was paid a combined total of $13.5 million in fees.

Also, after making a final $10 million payment for missing revenue expectations, Northstar no longer has to pay additional penalties as it did under

its original contract.

The Rauner administration said the agreement remains a better deal than what Quinn negotiated.

Critics cite the situation as further evidence that Illinois never should have hired a private manager. They said the costs associated with the decision are particularly troubling given Illinois’ massive financial problems.

Illinois has more than $12 billion in unpaid bills, and funding for social services, higher education and other programs has been slashed because lawmakers have gone two years without passing a budget.

When they voted to privatize the lottery, lawmakers said annual contributions to the state schools fund would increase each year. Additional proceeds were to go toward a plan that would build roads, schools and other public projects.

After initially reporting record sales, Northstar fell far short of its goals in subsequent years. The company and the state went to arbitration after a disagreement over its revenue goals and how performance was calculated.

Company officials, while acknowledging some shortcomings, argued that the state made Northstar’s job more difficult, including canceling games it wanted to launch.

Quinn moved to end Northstar’s 10-year contract in 2014, after the lottery recorded its first loss in a decade.

Rauner – a businessman making his first bid for office – made the handling of the lottery an issue in their bruising campaign for governor.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS Court considers bad legal cording to a Wall Street Journal advice in immigrant’s plea report citing unnamed sources.

WASHINGTON – The Supreme Court tried to figure out Tuesday whether immigrants should get a second chance in court when bad legal advice leads to a guilty plea and certain deportation.

The justices seemed divided during an argument about what to do in cases in which the evidence against criminal defendants is strong and the chances of acquittal by a jury are remote.

The court is considering the case of Jae Lee, a South Korean immigrant who was facing drug charges.

Lee pleaded guilty after his lawyer mistakenly assured him a conviction would not lead to deportation.

The Trump administration is arguing the outcome at trial would have been the same. The administration has pledged to increase deportations, with a focus on immigrants who have been convicted of crimes.

Head of Trump-Russia probe won’t step down The ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON – Potential White House entanglement in Congress’ investigation of Russian meddling in the 2016 election brought new cries of protest from Democrats on Tuesday as fresh political allegations clouded the probe.

Devin Nunes, the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, which is conducting one of the congressional investigations, turned aside calls to step aside. Later in the day, the White House vehemently denied a report that it had sought to hobble the testimony of a former acting attorney general before Nunes canceled the hearing where she was to speak.

President Donald Trump’s spokesman, Sean Spicer, lashed out at reporters, claiming they’re seeing conspiracies where none exist.

“If the president puts Russian salad dressing on his salad tonight, somehow that’s a Russian connection,” he suggested.

The embattled House committee is conducting one of three probes into the election campaign, its aftermath and potential contacts between Trump officials and Russians.

The Senate intelligence committee is doing its own investigation, and since late July the FBI has been conducting a counterintelligence investigation into Russia’s meddling and possible coordination with the Trump campaign.

Nunes’ decision to cancel Tuesday’s hearing was the latest in a series of actions that Democrats contend demonstrate that his loyalty to Trump is greater than his commitment to leading an independent investigation. The California Republican, who was a member of Trump’s presidential transition team, has said he met with a secret source last week on White House grounds to review classified material that showed Trump associates’

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Calif., is pursued by reporters Tuesday as he arrives for a weekly meeting of the Republican Conference with House Speaker Paul Ryan and the GOP leadership on Capitol Hill in Washington. communications had been captured in “incidental” surveillance of foreigners in November, December and January.

Nunes would not name the source of the information, and his office said he did not intend to share it with other members of the committee.

Nor would he disclose who invited him on the White House grounds for the meeting. He described the source as an intelligence official, not a White House official. In an interview on CNN, he suggested the president’s aides were unaware of the meeting.

Trump has used Nunes’ revelations to defend his unproven claim that Barack Obama tapped phones at Trump Tower. In a series of tweets Monday night, Trump said that instead of probing his associates, the committee should be investigating his Democrat opponent Hillary Clinton’s ties to the Kremlin.

“Trump Russia story is a hoax,” he tweeted.

Adding to the swirl of questions was the publication of a series of letters dated March 23 and March 24 involving a lawyer for former Acting Attorney General Sally Yates.

Yates, along with former CIA Director John Brennan

and former director of national intelligence James Clapper, had agreed to testify publicly before the House intelligence committee.

The canceled hearing would have been the first opportunity for the public to hear Yates’ account of her role in the firing of Trump’s first national security adviser, Michael Flynn.

The letters from lawyer David O’Neil, published by The Washington Post, appeared to be in response to a meeting O’Neil had at the Justice Department on March 23 in advance of the hearing.

In them, O’Neil pushes back against what he says is Justice Department guidance on what Yates could say about conversations she had with Trump – conversations the department indicated could be covered by executive privilege.

“We believe that the Department’s position in this regard is overbroad, incorrect, and inconsistent with the Department’s historical approach to the congressional testimony of current and former senior officials,” O’Neil wrote in a March 23 letter to Justice Department official Samuel Ramer. He also wrote that Yates’ testimony would cover details that others have publicly recounted.

Club operator denies security bypass allowed The ASSOCIATED PRESS CINCINNATI – A Cincinnati nightclub operator denies that some patrons were allowed to bypass security checks that included metal-detection wands before a gunbattle erupted, killing one man and injuring 16 other people.

Julian “Jay” Rodgers rejected claims that people could pay to avoid the long line to get into the club without being checked. Police estimate 200 people were inside early Sunday when a dispute escalated into a gunfight in which more than 20 shots were fired by an unknown number of shooters in the popular club near the Ohio River east of downtown Cincinnati.

“There have been untrue reports that certain patrons were allowed to enter the club without passing through security,” Rodgers, a veteran operator of Cincinnati-area entertainment venues, said in a statement late Monday.

“This was not permitted.”

Rodgers said two of four privately paid uniformed Cincinnati police officers there had a clear view of security procedures and helped “with the flow of the lines.”

Police Chief Eliot Isaac has emphasized that the officers working off-du-

was likely people were getting in without security checks. She said security just looked at her ID and let her in.

The mother of five described a chaotic scene in which people were frantically crawling over one another to reach the exits. She said her one thought was: I can’t die in this club.

“All I was thinking about was my kids,” Higgins said. “Am I going to make it up out of here?”

Higgins said she felt one bullet fly past her face. Soon after, another struck her in the leg and she collapsed.

She stumbled out of the club and then drove herself to a hospital. Police and firefighters used ambulances for those victims who were more seriously injured. Two of the injured remained in critical condition Tuesday, and three were in stable condition.

The Hamilton County coroner’s office said Tuesday that O’Bryan Spikes, the 27-year-old man killed in the shooting, died from a single gunshot to the chest.

WXIX-TV reported Isaac, the city manager and others attended a vigil Tuesday evening outside the nightclub for Spikes and the other shooting victims. Isaac spoke to the crowd, calling the shooting a “senseless act.”

Work continues on the water replacement lines March 10 in Flint, Mich. spring 2014. While under the control of state-appointed financial managers, the city tapped the Flint River as its water source while a new pipeline was being built to Lake Huron. But the river water wasn’t treated to reduce corrosion. As a result, lead leached from old pipes and fixtures.

DETROIT – Water lines at 18,000 homes in Flint, Michigan, will be replaced under a landmark deal approved by a judge Tuesday, marking a milestone in the effort to overcome the disastrous decision in 2014 to draw water from a river without treating it to prevent lead contamination.

Flint will be responsible for replacing lead and galvanized-steel lines that bring water into homes. The cost could be as high as $97 million, with federal and state governments covering the bill. Pipes at more than 700 homes have been replaced so far.

The court-ordered pipe replacement is unprecedented in the U.S., said lead attorney Dimple Chaudhary of the Natural Resources Defense Council. The group sued Flint and Michigan on behalf of residents, along with the American Civil Liberties Union of Michigan.

“Flint proved that even while poisoned, we’re not just victims,” said resident Melissa Mays, a plaintiff in the case. “We’re fighters.”

Flint’s water was tainted with lead for at least 18 months, starting in

volving a court-appointed mediator.

The judge praised Gov. Rick Snyder for suggesting negotiations after his administration lost two major court rulings on door-to-door water delivery.

Lawson said the settlement was “fair, adequate, reasonable, consistent with the public interest.”

Crews have been replacing pipes for months in Flint, where residents still feel betrayed by a series of devastating decisions that caused the crisis.

“The pipes are corroded inside,” said Ron Blackmer, 55, who watched holes being drilled outside his home.

“There’s nothing they can do to fix them other than replace them. The right thing to do is replace them.”

Marc Edwards, an expert at Virginia Tech who in 2015 warned about dangerous lead levels after state regulators repeatedly dismissed the concerns, said the agreement is a good deal for Flint’s roughly 100,000 residents.

He told The Associated Press that with improved water quality, temporary use of filters and new pipes, “Flint residents really have nothing to worry about other than the lost trust and history of this disaster, which may take a generation to repair.”

ANOTHER VIEW

The way forward: Fix Obamacare The next time someone argues a businessman would manage the country better than an experienced politician, remember this past week. The attempt by President Donald Trump and House Republicans to force through a health care bill scorned by experts across the spectrum, projected to be a disaster for aging and low-income people and opposed by a large majority of Americans ended in debacle. Now the danger is a wounded president and his GOP allies will act on their sore feelings by irresponsibly attacking the existing health care system in other ways.

The right course for Trump and congressional Republicans after their decisive defeat would be to ensure the system created by President Barack Obama is properly overseen, for the sake of the millions who depend on it. That would mean abandoning their unilateral and unpopular legislative push to replace Obamacare with a radically different scheme. None of the major repeal-and-replace proposals they have offered would improve the system – and repealing Obamacare without a replacement would invite disaster in health care markets.

Unfortunately, there are signs Trump will act rashly on his own, without Congress, weakening Obamacare on purpose or by sheer incompetence.

Several times in recent weeks, Trump suggested it would be savvier for Republicans to let the system persist – and collapse. Independent experts, including the Congressional Budget Office just this month, predict no such crumbling. Yet they may not have satisfactorily considered the likelihood of administrative sabotage: The Trump administration already has undermined federal enrollment efforts and the individual mandate that holds the system together.

Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price, who would lead any executive-branch regulatory overhaul, has shown himself to be a rigid ideologue on health care policy.

Trump should not imagine angry Americans will blame Democrats, who are totally locked out of power, if he presides over an unraveling of the system.

Public reaction to the replacement effort, including in polls, showed substantial support for Obamacare and rejection of the Republican effort to destroy it.

A better option would be the one Republicans have explored least: actually fixing the system’s flaws. Trump could use his executive power to shore it up – enhancing enforcement of the individual mandate and encouraging people to sign up. Then he should approach Democrats to see if there is room for an agreement on a repair bill.

For the good of the country, Republicans must finally admit two things. First, Obamacare is mostly working and millions will be hurt if it is abruptly repealed. Second, the GOP is incapable of the near-unanimity on health care policy that is required to act without Democrats.

ANOTHER VIEW

Fiscal conservatives are lacking What happened to fiscal conservatives?

Critics were quick to predict doom and gloom after President Donald Trump released his preliminary 2018 budget for the federal government last week.

The budget, which was Trump’s vision for the discretionary spending side of the federal government – about one-third of the overall federal budget – called for increases in defense spending and a few other priorities and cuts in just about everything else.

The budget does not address entitlements such as Social Security and Medicare, which Trump has promised not to touch. But it does cut funding from nearly every major federal government department, such as the Environmental Protection Agency, Department of Education, Department of Agriculture and many more, along with funding for various arts and cultural agencies such as the National Endowment for the Arts and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.

Among the items cut is the $300 million that has gone to the Great Lakes Restoration

Initiative, which would affect Michigan and other Great Lakes states.

Criticism of Trump’s budget from those on the left was predictable – liberals oppose anything the president says or does. However, the fact that many of Trump’s fellow Republicans also voiced opposition shows how entrenched federal government spending is in Washington. Republicans often call themselves fiscal conservatives but when the president had enough courage to introduce a budget that calls for some very difficult decisions, they sounded a lot more like liberal lawmakers than conservatives in terms of protecting their pet project areas.

That’s not to say that Trump’s budget is a perfect blueprint for federal government spending going forward. His budget increases defense spending so much that the federal government’s deficit spending problem is not addressed. But his budget does raise questions about whether all discretionary spending is essential.

Lawmakers, government agencies, state governments,

local governments and citizens need to realize that federal spending habits must change.

The U.S. debt clock shows the nation is just days away from being $20 trillion in debt. Having the courage to make cuts in federal discretionary spending so that the deficit is reduced would be a good starting point.

That means lawmakers need to decide what programs are really necessary and in need of federal government funding.

Citizens might have to provide greater support for some programs – such as the arts and cultural programs – if they really do value them, rather than expecting a federal handout to pay for these things. States might need to pick up the cost of other programs if they really are needed – even things such as the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative.

If the federal deficit spending train wreck is to ever be turned around, lawmakers – Republican lawmakers in particular – are going to have to start sounding a lot more like fiscal conservatives when it comes to cutting the budget.

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.

To the Editor: Way to go, County Board Chairman Jack D. Franks! He hires two good, creative people who think to “look under the couch cushions,” and they find almost $150,000 for us taxpayers. I can only imagine the county employees pounding their heads against the wall thinking, “Why didn’t we do this?’’

Some of these agencies have had money missing for 20 years. See what happens when fresh people who have experience thinking outside the box are brought into new positions? Finally, we have a chairman who will buck the status quo and has hired a team who will help him deliver.

To the Editor: Have you ever watched the 2004 movie, “Mean Girls?” That describes District 200 teachers at the Woodstock Indepen-

dent candidate forum on March 16.

Two brave residents, Barbara Gessert and Susan Handelsman, are running for District 200 school board to become stewards for the taxpayers. All other candidates for District 200 school board believe in addition to the teachers union, the role of the school board is to support teachers and administration.

This is false. The school board is elected by residents to represent residents, not teachers.

It is unfortunate Gessert and Handelsman have become victims of bullying by teachers and administrators because of their beliefs that spending needs to be cut at District 200.

Teachers and administrators are supposed to be role models to our students. Shame on them for their vile and unprofessional behavior toward those with whom they may not agree.

tax” favoring exports is dead.

The other complication for the Trump White House will be the Federal Reserve Board. The term of Chair Janet Yellen, a distinguished Democratic economist appointed three years ago by Obama, expires next Feb. 3. If the economy is slowing at that point, the question of who succeeds Yellen becomes more important, since the Fed under Yellen is starting to raise interest rates to keep growth from speeding out of control.

Already there is speculation, even some lobbying, for her successor. The possibilities include a former Fed governor, Kevin Warsh, along with Glenn Hubbard, dean of the Columbia Business School and a leading Republican economist in the George W. Bush administration. There also is talk that Gary Cohn, a top Trump economic adviser and former president of Goldman Sachs, might be a more accommodating choice from Trump’s point of view.

To the extent he has any economic ideology, Trump, the builder, loves low interest rates. Ironically, that puts him closer to the views of Yellen than to the Republican inflation hawks who worry about the potential of low rates to overstimulate growth.

But reappointing Obama’s Fed chair would drive Republicans crazy.

Yellen, whom Trump blasted during the campaign as an Obama toadie,

probably has little interest in staying.

If there are any economic dislocations, Trump can be counted on to lash out at the Fed more than any president since Richard Nixon. He has little respect for any institutions and always blames others for problems.

As always, timing will be essential. At the time of both Reagan’s and Obama’s re-election, the jobless rate was almost the same as when they took office. But both benefited from favorable trends. In Reagan’s case, unemployment had dropped sharply after soaring for awhile, enabling him to proclaim “morning in America.” Job growth after the 2008 recession made a persuasive case four years later for the strength of “the Obama economy.”

Direction matters, politically.

Trump could be in good shape if, in 3½ years, he has pulled a trifecta.

That would mean he’s not tainted by Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election, his family-business conflicts of interest don’t cause an open scandal, and he doesn’t get into a war. Oh, and he presides over a jobless rate no worse than the 4.8 percent he inherited.

Donald Trump boasts that he has been an economic genius, creating jobs, cutting $12 billion off the national debt and overseeing a soaring stock market in just his first two months.

These claims are largely phony.

He may need braggadocio, though, because on the economy he has been dealt a bad hand politically. This problem is likely to be compounded by two actions his first year.

Perversely, the reason he inherited a bad hand politically is that he got a good one economically: low unemployment, moderate growth and the glimmerings of wage gains. If history is any guide, the last 77 months of job growth won’t last a whole lot longer.

By contrast, most successful presidents dating back to Franklin D. Roosevelt inherited economies in dire straits and got political credit for reviving them. President Ronald Reagan took over amid the sluggish growth and soaring inflation of the “stagflation” period, while President Barack Obama assumed office at the start of the worst global economic crisis since the Great Depression. Economic conditions got worse on both occasions, with unemployment hitting double digits, before improving markedly to each incumbent’s benefit.

Trump, who promised a booming

economy with a 4 percent growth rate, was counting on big tax cuts and huge infrastructure spending to create jobs.

But Republican congressional leaders insisted that the first priority was to repeal and replace Obama’s signature health care system. They failed, revealing schisms in Republican ranks, Speaker Paul Ryan’s political ineptitude and Trump’s inability to pressure or persuade members of Congress.

It essentially wasted the crucial first three months of Republican rule. Legislation for rebuilding roads, bridges and airports has been put off.

Whatever materializes is likely to be less ambitious than Trump’s campaign promises – his proposed budget actually cuts infrastructure spending – meaning it would have less immediate economic impact.

The priority now is tax reform, with individual and corporate reductions and base-broadening to cover some of the lost revenue. Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin predicted that tax reform will be “a lot simpler” than health care. The naive newcomer soon will learn that there’s a reason there hasn’t been an important overhaul of the tax system in more than 30 years.

With the devastating health care defeat, look for Trump to focus tax cuts more on the middle class than on making top-rate, supply-side reductions.

Coke, Pepsi look to make water rain money

By CANDICE CHOI

The Associated Press NEW YORK – Bottled water is starting to seem more like soda, and sometimes taste like it, too.

As bottled water surges in popularity, Coke, Pepsi and other companies are using celebrity endorsements, stylish packaging and fancy filtration processes such as “reverse osmosis” to sell people on expanding variations of what comes out of the tap. They’re also adding flourishes like bubbles, flavors or sweeteners that can blur the lines between what is water and what is soda.

For this year’s Super Bowl, PepsiCo even ran an ad for its new Lifewtr, promoting the drink in a spotlight typically reserved for sodas. Also running their first Super Bowl ads were Fiji and Bai brands, which sell “enhanced waters” made with fruit juice and stevia sweetener.

Michael Simon, Bai’s chief marketing officer, says its drinks “give people that healthy profile they’re looking for, but now they no longer have to sacrifice on taste with the neutrality of water.”

Bottled water has been gaining ground for years, and overtook soda as the No. 1 drink in the U.S. by sales volume last year, industry tracker Beverage Marketing Corp. said.

Some of the fizzy, sweetened drinks are considered water by the companies and industry trackers, as the distinctions between them lose meaning.

Bottles of Lifewtr and Smartwater are displayed March 16 in Philadelphia. As bottled water surges in popularity, Coke, Pepsi and other companies are using celebrity endorsements, stylish packaging and fancy filtration processes such as “reverse osmosis” to sell people on expanding variations of what comes out of the tap. They’re also adding flourishes such as bubbles, flavors or sweeteners that can blur the lines between what is water and what is soda.

Companies aren’t as interested in the big, economy packs of plain bottled water that have been fueling the growth, said Ali Dibaj, a Bernstein analyst who covers the industry, since those are less profitable than sodas and are a “horrible business to be in.”

So Coke and Pepsi are focusing on pricier options that compete with brands such as Evian and Perrier.

And they’re introducing fizzy and fruity varieties to get a better foothold

in increasingly crowded marketplace where options such as LaCroix and others are gaining popularity.

Showing just how blurry the lines are getting, PepsiCo launched a drink last week that it describes as “sorta juice, sorta soda, sorta sparkling water.”

Such options can capture people looking to cut back on sodas or juices, and may get people who might buy lower-priced waters to upgrade.

“You can get up the ladder in terms

of water and get out of the categories that don’t drive a lot of value,” Coca-Cola’s incoming CEO James Quincey said in September.

Quincey cites Smartwater, which has enjoyed sales growth in North America, as a way for Coke to profitably expand its water business. The brand is billed as “vapor distilled” and features actress Jennifer Aniston in its ads.

He also said that in the crowded Chinese market, Coke is upgrading people to a water brand it markets as “socially responsible” with a different blend of minerals, which costs twice as much.

Exactly what makes water seem like it’s worth the extra money varies, but image is key.

PepsiCo had toyed with names such as “Qua” and “Om” before settling on Lifewtr.

The company points to the artwork featured on its bottles, and the “reverse osmosis” filtration the water undergoes, with electrolytes added for taste. “This is where consumers are heading,” said Todd Kaplan, vice president of marketing at PepsiCo, about lower-calorie drinks like Lifewtr.

Both Lifewtr and Smartwater, which account for a small portion of the overall packaged water market, are made with municipal water and were selling for $2.79 for a 1-liter bottle at a 7-Eleven in New York City. The convenience store chain’s private label brand was selling for $1.50 for the same size bottle.

The PBS documentarian announced Tuesday that he and two partners will make a two-part, four-hour film about the former heavyweight champ, who died last June. Burns, his daughter Sarah and David McMahon collaborated for a PBS documentary on Jackie Robinson that debuted last year. The tentative plan is to air the Ali film in 2021.

Sarah Burns said the outpouring of good will at Ali’s death made it easy to forget how divisive it was when the former Cassius Clay took the Ali name when he converted to Islam.

Syrian poet Adonis wins lifetime achievement prize

AP file photo

Author Margaret Atwood poses June 9, 2015, to promote her novel “The Heart Goes Last” in Toronto. The Canadian author has provided additional material for a special audio edition of “The Handmaid’s Tale,” coming out next week exclusively from Audible.com.

‘The Handmaid’s Tale’ expanded audiobook coming next week NEW YORK – Margaret Atwood hasn’t quite finished telling “The Handmaid’s Tale.”

The Canadian author has provided additional material for a special audio edition coming out next week exclusively from audio producer and distributor Audible.com, which is owned by Amazon.com. The audiobook expands upon a version released in 2012 and narrated by Claire Danes, Audible said Tuesday. Atwood’s novel, as related through a handmaid known as “Offred,” imagines a dystopian republic named Gilead in which women have lost their rights and even their identities.

The original book ends with a section called “Historical Notes,” a 22nd-century academic symposium discussing the now-fallen Gilead and the ordeal of Offred, who had recorded her story on a set of cassette tapes.

“Are there any questions?” is the final line.

“The roots of ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’ are in audio – Offred’s story was recorded, not written, and even the ‘Historical Notes’ are a voice – so I was excited to extend the story for Audible with additional material meant specifically to be heard,” Atwood said. “ ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’ ends with ‘Are there any questions?’ With this new special audio edition, I’ve added the questions and answers that I think the people at that symposium, occurring in 2195, might ask. It was an engrossing challenge for me to revisit that last scene of the book and address some questions that I know many readers and listeners have had, over the years, after finishing ‘The Handmaid’s Tale.’ ”

NEW YORK – Syrian poet and translator Adonis has won a $50,000 prize from PEN America for lifetime achievement.

The literary and human rights organization also has handed out prizes for best book of 2016 and best debut fiction.

At a Manhattan ceremony on Monday night, with the theme “Books Across Borders,” PEN announced that Adonis was the recipient of the PEN/Nabokov Award for Achievement in International Literature.

Hisham Matar’s memoir about his native Libya, “The Return,” won the $75,000 PEN/Jean Stein Book Award for the year’s best work. Rion Amilcar Scott’s story collection “Insurrections” won the $25,000 PEN/Robert W. Bingham Prize for debut fiction. Angela Morales’ “The Girls in My Town,” about growing up Mexican-American in Los Angeles, was given the $10,000 PEN/Diamonstein-Spielvogel Award for the Art of the Essay.

Ribeiro writes in the caption that it’s “always amazing to spend an afternoon with my Fresh Prince family.” He says he wishes that Avery were there “to make this complete.”

Lifestyle influence Indigenous Bolivians have among world’s healthiest hearts

A Tsimane man carries bananas. He is among a group of indigenous people with a traditional lifestyle deep in the Bolivian Amazon, and according to a new study released Friday, they have some of the healthiest hearts on the planet, according to Dr. Randall Thompson, a cardiologist at St. Luke’s Health System in Kansas City, Missouri.

The Associated Press

eep in the Bolivian Amazon lives a group of indigenous people who spend their days hunting and farming.

Researchers say this may be partly why they have some of the healthiest hearts on the planet.

The Tsimane, a society of hunter-gatherers, have the lowest-ever recorded levels of clogged arteries among any population studied, new research found.

Scientists say the finding points to the importance of reducing risk factors for heart disease: The Tsimane are physically active – exercising for about four to seven hours every day –

and their diet is low in fat and sugar.

They also don’t smoke or drink often.

“The average middle-aged Tsimane has arteries that are about 28 years younger than those of Westerners,” said Dr. Randall Thompson, a cardiologist at St. Luke’s Health System in Kansas City, Missouri, who helped lead the new work.

The study was published online Friday in the journal Lancet and presented at a meeting of the American College of Cardiology.

Thompson and colleagues teamed up with anthropologists who have been tracking the Tsimane for years for glimpses into their health. The Tsimane, a group of about 16,000 people who live along a tributary of the Amazon, are one of the best-studied

indigenous groups in the world.

The 705 participants in the study spent a day paddling in their canoes and then hopped a six-hour Jeep ride to the nearest city so doctors could take computer scans of their hearts and measure their weight, heart rate, blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar. In exchange for their time, the Tsimane were given small gifts, including thread and yarn.

The Tsimane’s health results were then compared to a sample of more than 6,800 Americans. Scientists concluded Americans were five times likelier to have heart disease than the Tsimane. Almost nine in 10 Tsimane had no risk of heart disease.

Lifestyle probably plays a bigger role than genetics in avoiding heart

disease, Thompson said.

He noted as the Tsimane are gradually introduced to processed foods and motorized canoes, their cholesterol levels have slowly increased.

Other experts said it may be possible to match the Tsimane’s healthy habits.

It’s impractical to return to being hunter-gatherers, but if people “can stop smoking and get a half hour of exercise every day that leaves you breathless, that will be a big help,” said Dr. Joep Perk, a cardiologist at Linnaeus University in Sweden, who was not part of the research. “There’s a tendency to blame your genes for heart problems, and what this study shows us is that you can’t blame your parents, just your lifestyle.”

An experimental gene therapy that turns a patient’s own blood cells into cancer killers worked in a major study, with more than one-third of very sick lymphoma patients showing no sign of disease six months after a single treatment, its maker said.

In all, 82 percent of patients had their cancer shrink at least by half at some point in the study.

Its sponsor, California-based Kite Pharma, is racing Novartis AG to become the first to win approval of the treatment, called CAR-T cell therapy, in the U.S. It could become the nation’s first approved gene therapy.

A hopeful sign: the number in complete remission at six months – 36 percent – is barely changed from partial results released after three months, suggesting this one-time treatment might give lasting benefits for those who do respond well.

“This seems extraordinary ... extremely encouraging,” said one independent expert, Dr. Roy Herbst, cancer medicines chief at the Yale Cancer Center.

The worry has been how long Kite’s treatment would last and its side ef-

deaths were deemed due to the treatment.

It was developed at the government’s National Cancer Institute and then licensed to Kite. The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society helped sponsor the study.

Results were released by the company and have not been published or reviewed by other experts. Full results will be presented at the American Association for Cancer Research conference in April.

The treatment involves filtering a patient’s blood to remove key immune system soldiers called T-cells, altering them in the lab to contain a gene that targets cancer, and giving them back intravenously. Doctors call it a “living drug” – permanently altered cells that multiply in the body into an army to fight the disease.

Patients in the study had one of Images provided These scans show a 62-year-old man with non-Hodgkin lymphoma (at left) in December three types of non-Hodgkin lympho2015, and three months after treatment with Kite Pharma’s experimental gene therapy at ma, a blood cancer, and had failed all other treatments.

Soda drinks tied to low bone density Dear Doctor: I was informed several years ago that carbonated drinks weaken bones, leaching the calcium from them. Is this true? What would be considered an acceptable amount for a teenager or a woman past menopause? Would carbonated spring water be better?

Dear Reader: Sodas are ubiquitous in our society. Even schools sell them. Further, both parents and children often use sodas as their primary source of liquids, shunning simple water – the essence of life. The evidence between soda intake and obesity risk is irrefutable. Now let’s look at the evidence on bone density.

Almost 20 years ago, a study published in the Journal of Bone and Mineral Research found that cola-drinking rats had lower levels of calcium, higher levels of phosphorus, lower levels of vitamin D and higher levels of parathyroid hormone than water-drinking rats. They also had lower bone density in the femur (hip) bone.

A 2006 study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition assessed the amount of cola and non-cola carbonated beverages, both with and without sugar, consumed by 1,125 men and 1,413 women.

The study followed participants for 25 years and then checked their bone mineral densities. The authors did not find an association between non-cola carbonated beverages and lower bone mineral density in either men or women. Nor did they find an association between cola consumption and lower bone density in men. However, women who drank cola sodas had significantly lower bone mineral density than those who didn’t drink sodas, regardless of whether the sodas contained sugar or artificial sweeteners.

Another American Journal of Clinical Nutrition study published in 2014 followed more than 73,000 women between the ages of 30 and 55 for 30 years. At the end of the study, they

SUDOKU

ASK THE DOCTORS Robert Ashley found the rate of hip fracture was 10 percent greater among women who drank more than 10 sodas (of all types) a week, compared with those who did not drink any sodas.

The authors then compared women with the same body mass index who drank soda versus those who didn’t. Here the authors found a significant correlation between soda intake and hip fractures. Women who drank five to 10 sodas a week had a 16 percent increased risk of hip fractures, and women who drank more than 10 sodas a week had a 42 percent increased risk of hip fractures.

The increased rates of hip fracture were seen in both caffeinated and non-caffeinated sodas, as well as colas and non-colas.

Carbonated spring water is simply water with dissolved carbon dioxide gas, but that’s not to say it isn’t acidic. The pH level is between 3 and 4 – higher than sodas’ roughly 2.5 pH – while water has a pH of 7. The acidity could potentially pose a problem, but a study published in the British Medical Journal in 2005 found no difference in markers for bone turnover between postmenopausal women who drank carbonated mineral water for eight weeks and postmenopausal women who drank plain mineral water.

My advice is: Make plain water your primary source of fluid. Also, and this is important, minimize the amount of sodas you and your teenager drink. In addition to their link to obesity, they do seem to increase the risk of low bone density and bone fractures.

Dear Abby: I’ve DEAR ABBY been married to my second Jeanne husband for 14 Phillips years. He’s a great provider, but mentally and emotionally abusive.

I want to leave him, but I’m scared to live on my own. We both work, but he makes a lot of money – which I do not – so I guess you can say, financially, I’m comfortable. But I’m miserable.

I’m so unhappy I have tried to take my life.

He wanted us to be swingers and I finally gave in, and now it’s all I hear about. I don’t want to do it, but he doesn’t care what I want. His kids are mean and disrespectful. We have no kids together (which I want but can’t have, and he won’t adopt). I feel like I’m wasting my life. I’m 43. I had to have emergency surgery and almost didn’t make it, and he resented me for it. Why can’t I leave him? Why am I so scared? I have no other family. – Wasting Away in the South Dear Wasting Away: You said it yourself: You are scared to live on your own. Some people are afraid of the unknown, and you appear to be one of them. Because your husband has been coercing you into having sex with other men, I recommend you contact a support organization such as RAINN (www.rainn.org); its toll-free phone number is 800-656-HOPE (4673). Someone there can guide you in making an escape plan.

I also urge you to talk about this with an attorney, because you should not be penniless if you leave. What your husband has been doing is a form of spousal abuse.

Dear Abby: My husband and I recently had a baby girl, our first. We both work full time, but my husband is gone nights and weekends, and I’m the primary parent at home with our daughter. Something has been bothering me since my daughter came along. My in-laws have never once told me I’m doing a good job as a mother.

I’m critiqued every time they come over, whether it be that her hands are too cold, her room is too warm or her nails are too “sharp.” ... I feel like they don’t think I’m doing a good job and it makes me feel bad. Am I being too sensitive? – Criticized all the Time Dear Criticized: It is possible that in making these comments, your in-laws are simply trying to be helpful. Instead of regarding them as criticism, take them under consideration. However, if your hurt feelings persist, you – or your husband – should point out to his parents that in trying to be helpful, they have forgotten to be supportive, and mention some of the things you are doing right.

Dear Readers: Today, I’m announcing the launch of a new scholarship program for aspiring young writers. The Dear Abby College Columnist Scholarship Program and Contest, administered by the National Society of Newspaper Columnists Education Foundation, will recognize and encourage the work of undergraduates writing bylined columns for their college newspapers. For contest information, visit dearabby.com/scholarship/interview, or submit an entry at dearabby.com/scholarship. – Abby

Do You Have? Arthritis • Knee Pain • Back Pain • Neck Pain Neuropathy • Hip Pain • Shoulder Pain • Joint Pain

Good News! Local Stem Cell Institute of America Centers Now Offers Regenerative Therapy!

The Stem Cell Institute of America devotes much of its time treating chronically ill patients -especially those in pain. With 3 years experience, serving Northern Illinois with multiple practices, it continues to utilize cutting-edge technology to help restore patients’ health. The institute recently announced its latest state-of-the-art healing procedure: regenerative stem cell therapy.

The Stem Cell Institute of America is now offering painless, FDA approved Amniototic Stem Cell Injections and advanced procedures for arthritic and/or degenerative conditions, especially those found in the knees, hips, shoulder, neck and lower back.

These remarkable treatments can repair tissue in the body that has been damaged from age, disease or degeneration. They do this by pinpointing the impaired areas, removing the swelling with powerful anti-inflammatory properties and healing them by regenerating cells and tissue.

This innovative therapy is particularly effective in treating such conditions as degenerative arthritis, degenerative cartilage and ligaments, bone spurs, degenerative joint disease, bursitis and tendinitis, especially Osteoarthritis of the Knee.

According to the Stem Cell Institute of America chief medical officer, patients can experience a significant decrease in pain and an improvement in range of motion within weeks of treatment.

“We are so excited about the results we are seeing with our Crystal Lake patients. More Importantly, our patients are excited about living their lives enjoying the activities they enjoy. We invite you to attend one of our upcoming seminars near your home, to learn more about this incredible healing technology and how it might be able to help you or someone you love finally live a pain free life.” Dr. Jill Howe DC, CNPS, Chicagoland Director for the Stem Cell Institute of America

Laxner blanks Pirates Junior allows only 3 hits in 52/3 scoreless innings

By SEAN HAMMOND

shammond@shawmedia.com HUNTLEY – The recipe was simple for Huntley starting pitcher Nick Laxner against Palatine.

“I was just locating all my pitches, hitting spots, and they couldn’t really catch up to it,” Laxner said.

The Red Raiders’ junior righthander threw 52/3 innings of shutout baseball Tuesday. He allowed three hits, walked one and struck out four in a 9-0 win over the Pirates.

Laxner did not allow a hit after the second inning. For the most part, he was forcing ground-ball outs.

“That’s what Lax does,” Huntley coach Andy Jakubowski. “He comes in and pounds the zone. He does his thing, changes speeds real well. It was a nice outing for him.”

Laxner credited the defense, which committed only one error in the game.

“My off-speed, they just got on top of it, I guess,” Laxner said. “I had a good

q THE NUMBER Huntley batters hit by pitches in the game. All four came around to score.

q AND ANOTHER THING ...

Huntley coach Andy Jakubowski pulled Nick Laxner with 72 pitches thrown, which saves him an extra day off under the new pitch-count rules. Seventy-six or more pitches would have meant four days of rest, as opposed to three.

Jakubowski said none of his pitchers have thrown more than 60 pitches in practice this season anyway, so he’s been keeping pitch counts low in the early going.

defense behind me. My curveball was really good today. They caught up to my change-up, but my curveball, they didn’t really hit it.”

At the plate, it was a balanced attack for Huntley. Six players drove in runs. Two runs scored on balks, and

one crossed the plate on a throwing error.

The Raiders recorded six hits, all from different batters.

“All of us were doing our job together and working like a well-oiled machine,” senior Brad Model said. “We definitely put a lot of quality at-bats together. If we string a lot of those together, we’re bound to score a lot of runs like today.”

Model hit a single and drove in a run. He also scored twice. He was one of four Raiders hitters who was hit by a pitch in the game. Huntley drew six total walks. Combined with the four hit batters, it provided a wealth of scoring opportunities.

Leadoff hitter Joe Boland was hit by a pitch and scored on a balk in the first. The Raiders scored three runs in the third, with RBIs from Brad Maurer on a bases-loaded walk, Tyler Koss on a single and Matt Rodriguez on a groundout.

Huntley scored four more runs in the fourth, one on a bases-loaded hitby-pitch from Model and another on a sacrifice fly from Kamrin Hoffmann.

Runs also scored on another balk and on a throwing error. Huntley added one more run in the fifth on a sacrifice fly from catcher Joe Rizzo.

MOTORCYCLE RACING: DAYTONA 200

CLS grad pulls opponent from burning wreck

By SEAN HAMMOND

shammond@shawmedia.com

• Wednesday, March 29, 2017

There was nowhere for Jody Barry to go.

Dustin Apgar lost control of his motorcycle and headed right into Barry’s path last weekend at the Daytona 200 motorcycle race at Daytona International Speedway. Both riders went sliding across the track.

After skidding to a stop, Barry, 18, of Lake in the Hills, stood uninjured. He looked back at Apgar, 37, of Phoenix. Apgar’s motorcycle was on fire, and Apgar was lying on the track.

“At first I thought Jody Barry he got knocked unconscious,” Barry said.

Apgar started waving for help.

“As I started running toward him, I noticed his foot was caught in the bike,” Barry said.

The impact had sent Apgar’s foot through the chain and sprocket of his motorcycle. He also had a large gash in his thigh that was spurting blood. He couldn’t pull his foot from the wheel to escape the flaming bike.

As the flames grew, Barry did everything he could to jerk the wheel the right way so Apgar’s foot could come loose.

“I’m on the ground leaning up and he’s bent over and the flames are over his back,” Apgar said. “They were pretty high. It was unbelievable. He was standing over me working my foot out of the wheel. All I could do was hold onto him and hold onto my thigh.”

Barry pulled Apgar’s foot free and dragged him away from the bike. The whole incident spanned about a minute, but felt like slow motion to Apgar, he said. He estimated it took about four minutes for the fire crew to arrive.

“In four minutes, my bike was burnt to a crisp,” Apgar said. “If it wasn’t for Jody coming over and pulling me out of that fire, I would have burnt alive.”

• • • Barry credits his father with introducing him to motorcycle racing. Barry graduated from Crystal Lake South last year and attended McHenry County College for a while before focusing full time on work and racing.

Barry helps save life of fellow rider

Jody Barry, a Crystal Lake South alumnus, drags fellow racer Dustin Apgar of Phoenix from his burning motorcycle during the Daytona 200 on March 18 at Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Fla. “In four minutes, my bike was burnt to a crisp,” Apgar said. “If it wasn’t for Jody coming over and pulling me out of that fire, I would have burnt alive.”

He first raced competitively when he was 11. This year he is racing in MotoAmerica, the highest level of motorcycle racing in the U.S. Barry never had met Apgar, and the two still haven’t formally met, a week since the accident.

“I’d sure like to shake that boy’s hand,” said Apgar, resting at home in Phoenix.

They spoke briefly over the phone that night after Apgar had his surgery.

He lost two toes in the accident. The gash in his thigh missed his femoral artery by millimeters. Somehow he didn’t break his leg, although he could see his bone and needed some 30 stitches.

“I know I’ve got some really good angels looking out for me,” Apgar said.

Apgar is originally from Vermont, but has lived in Phoenix since 2001. He first started riding motorcycles as a stunt rider before he began racing. He earned the nickname the “Ghilli Man” because he often wears a ghilli suit or military cammo while riding.

He also is known for his “helmet

drag” videos on YouTube, where he leans over and scrapes his helmet on the pavement while riding his motorcycle. Apgar also runs his own company, DTR Motorsports, based in Phoenix.

He said he was as prepared for the Daytona 200 as he ever has been. He qualified for the race one position ahead of Barry.

“He was my goal,” Barry said. “He was my man to beat.”

The initial start was abandoned because the scoring and timing system was not working. Officials determined there would be a full restart. Apgar had gotten off to a good start on the initial start.

They didn’t get far into the restart before the accident.

• • • After Barry dragged Apgar away from the flames, medical personnel took over. Soon Barry was back on his motorcycle and heading to the pit. It wasn’t long before he was at the starting line again, ready for another restart.

He finished 14th in the race, a result he was happy with. But he couldn’t completely shake the accident from his mind.

“It lingered in my head the whole race,” Barry said. “I don’t care if it’s the easiest crash in the world or the hardest crash in the world, it’s always going to mess with you the next couple laps around the track.”

The gash in Apgar’s leg should heal in about three weeks. His foot could take anywhere from six months to a year to heal. Apgar comes from a large family in Vermont and said he knows his parents would love to thank Barry.

“It’s a really humbling feeling having somebody be able to run into a burning flame like that and being able to react in the right way without hesitation,” Apgar said.

Barry was happy he was in the right place at the right time.

“I’m just glad he’s OK,” Barry said.

“I’m glad the circumstances were what they were so that somebody was at least there to help him.”

Inside Prep Baseball ATHLETE OF THE WEEK QUINN PRIESTER Cary-Grove, so., P-OF Priester was outstanding in his first two varsity starts, striking out 15 batters and not allowing a hit in seven innings.

The 6-foot-3 right-hander threw three innings with six strikeouts March 21 in a 3-2 win over Prospect. He threw four innings Monday as the Trojans beat Grant, 12-0. He whiffed nine in that outing.

Priester also has been hitting in the No. 2 spot of the Trojans’ order. He was 1 for 3 with two RBIs in their season opener, a 3-0 win at Ottawa.

5. Crystal Lake Central (3-0): The Tigers are off to a hot start and stayed unbeaten with a 3-2 comeback victory over Wauconda.

They scored three in the bottom of the sixth of that game to back pitchers James Cormier and Camden Nisenson, who allowed one earned run.

Proud Sponsor of Athlete of the Week

2. Huntley (4-1): The Red Raiders lost to Hononegah on Monday, then bounced back Tuesday with a 9-0 win over Palatine. They scored 31 runs in their first three games.

Huntley has most of its players returning from last season’s team that played in the Class 4A Schaumburg Supersectional.

3. Crystal Lake South (4-0): The Gators scored 35 runs in their four wins and also have NORTHWEST HERALD POWER RANKINGS had strong pitching and defense, with only 10 runs allowed. Catcher Ryan Parquette is off to a 1. Cary-Grove (4-1): If the opponent does not score, your team is going to fare well. The torrid start at .571 with seven RBIs, including the walk-off winner in a 3-2 win against Palatine.

Trojans allowed only two runs in their first 4. McHenry (2-0): The Warriors missed four games, with Priester and senior Matt McCumber leading the way. Those two have some games with inclement weather, but have terrific 1-2 starters in Bobby Miller split 14 innings and allowed four hits with zero runs. C-G suffered its first loss Tuesday, and Mike Lasiewicz, both signed with NCAA Division-I schools.

2-0, to Homewood-Flossmoor.

NOTEWORTHY Quick start: Woodstock almost matched its win total from last season in the first week with a 4-0 start. The Blue Streaks dropped a doubleheader Monday to Rockford East.

Senior right-hander Joey Brown threw the gem of the week, a 16-strikeout, three-hit win over Elgin, 5-0. But first-year coach Matt Prill feels good about the whole rotation, and his team.

“The guys are starting to see the things we do in practice pay off,” Prill said. “Trust the process every day and grind it out. It’s nice to see it translate a little bit into some wins to start the year.”

Coming back: Prairie Ridge coach Glen Pecoraro has not been with his team yet this season for undisclosed reasons, but should return this week.

Wolves athletic director Mark Gilbert said he could not comment on a personnel issue, and could only say that Pecoraro has been absent from the team for a short time.

The Wolves were 62-13 over the past two seasons and won the Fox Valley Conference Fox Division titles both times. This year the FVC goes back to being a nine-team conference.

WHAT TO WATCH Hononegah at McHenry, 11 a.m. Wednesday at Petersen Park The Indians traditionally are one of the best teams in the Northern Illinois Conference-10 and often find their way to the sectional that area Class 4A teams are in. McHenry likely will have one of its top two pitchers to throw.

Niles Notre Dame at Jacobs, 11 a.m. Saturday The Golden Eagles were 3-0 after their win over Homewood-Flossmoor on Monday in Marion. They return home to finish spring break with the Dons coming to town.

Continued from page 2 “We did a lot of little things well, whether it was getting hit by pitch or working a walk, getting our bunts down,” Jakubowski said. “We got runners in scoring position, and we pride ourselves on man on third, less than two (outs), get those runs home.”

Palatine coach Paul Belo acknowledged that the walks and hit batters put his team at a disadvantage. He credited Laxner with a solid outing.

“He did a nice job of mixing his pitches,” Belo said. “A lot of the two-out situations, two-out-RBI situations, we firmed up baseballs and we hit it right at their players. They’re a quality program. We know that, that’s why we play them.”

Model came in and shut down Palatine for the final 11/3 innings.

BLACKHAWKS

Team 2-1-2 since center suffered leg injury in Montreal

By MARK LAZERUS

mlazerus@suntimes.com

“He’s a big key to our team,” Kero said. “So it’s always tough when guys like that are out for a bit. But others have to step up. Guys have been up and down in the lineup, in and out of different positions all year. So everyone’s kind of used to that. You’ve got to be versatile and able to play whatever role they want you to be in, because situations like this come up.”

After winning in Montreal, Ottawa and Toronto, the Hawks have been erratic and error-prone in a messy 2-1-2 stretch. It’s no coincidence.

“When you lose a guy of his nature, when you use him in so many different situations, maybe the first three, four, five games, you can get away with his absence,” Quenneville said. “But as we’ve gone along here, you notice his value to your team. … You’re definitely looking for somebody to fill that need.”

Shuffling his forwards is nothing new for Quenneville – he’s done it throughout his coaching career, and constantly was tinkering through the first four months of the season as he integrated so many new faces into the lineup. But the Hawks didn’t hit their

stride until February, when he finally settled on a top nine, with some rotation on the fourth line.

Anisimov is expected to be back in time for the playoffs, but if he doesn’t get a game or two in before the end of the regular season, it is impossible to know what to expect from him in terms of his timing and conditioning. Not everybody can step right in and make a huge impact off a lengthy injury absence, like Kane did after breaking his clavicle in February 2015. So these last six games, starting with Wednesday’s showdown with the defending champion Pittsburgh Penguins, will continue to be a test of the Hawks’ depth, and of whatever contingency plan they can come up with.

“We could use him, no doubt,” Kane said. “He’s a huge part of our team and fits in that second center role perfectly, a position we were looking for for a long time. … There’s no doubt we miss him, and, hopefully, he’ll heal fast and we’ll get him back as soon as possible.”

Notes: Quenneville said Hartman likely will return to the lineup Wednesday. ... Corey Crawford will start in goal.

BULLS

Teams forcing Butler to dish more than shoot

By TOM MUSICK For the Sun-Times

CHICAGO – Apparently, setting a career high with 14 assists in his last game was not enough to satisfy Jimmy Butler.

“Maybe next time, I’ll get 15,” Butler said with a grin after practice Tuesday.

“We’ll find out.”

A steady diet of double teams has prompted the Bulls’ biggest shot taker to transform into a top playmaker.

Butler has double-digit assists in each of his past three games after doing so only four times in his first 65 games.

Butler’s mindset has helped the Bulls (35-39) win two of their past three games to keep their postseason hopes alive. The next test comes Thursday against Cleveland, which likely will throw more double teams at the Bulls’ All-Star.

How will Butler know when to give up the ball without sacrificing the aggressiveness that defines his game?

“I’m learning,” said Butler, who is averaging 23.5 points, 6.2 rebounds and 5.5 assists. “I think that all the film that I watch on myself and of other players

Bulls forward Jimmy Butler looks to pass the ball while being guarded by the Bucks’ Thon Maker on Sunday in Milwaukee. getting double teamed, you just have to pick up on things a lot faster. I think I can still be better at it with my decision-making and what to do and when to do it.

“But I mean, [heck], [74] games in, I guess it’s still a learning curve for me

and for everybody else. Hopefully, I continue to make the right plays.”

Coach Fred Hoiberg likes what he has seen in recent games from Butler and point guard Rajon Rondo. The duo combined for 23 of the team’s 33 assists Sunday afternoon in a sorely needed 15-point win over the Bucks.

“When he and Rondo are on the floor together, it gives you two very good playmakers and two guys who are willing to get in the paint and make the right play,” Hoiberg said.

Rondo said it was easy to adjust to Butler as a playmaker.

“There’s enough time in a game where both of us can handle the ball and make plays for our teammates,” Rondo said. “That’s just what we’re trying to do is make our team better. I believe in sharing the ball, and I think Jimmy’s doing a great job right now of making plays for his teammates.”

Butler was asked whether Rondo helped him as a playmaker.

“Here and there, but I’m a smart enough basketball player to figure things out on my own,” Butler said. “I watch a lot of film, so there’s not too many people that can tell me what to

do. I’m watching it unfold myself after the game or before, whatever it may be. I think that the film is the best help for that.”

On the mend: Cristiano Felicio, who has missed the past three games because of a bruised tailbone, did not participate in Tuesday’s practice.

“He did a lot of noncontact stuff,” Hoiberg said. “He’s moving around pretty well, but still has some soreness, so the big thing is to give him a couple more days to hopefully get himself right.”

Hoiberg said Felicio “potentially” could play Thursday against the Cavaliers depending on his progress.

Playing defense: Speaking of Thursday’s showdown against Cleveland, Butler turned tight-lipped when asked whether LeBron James was still the hardest player to guard in the NBA. “You’re not gonna pull me into that,” Butler said playfully.

Why so evasive?

“If I say he is, then the next time I play Kevin Durant, he’s going to try to score 60,” Butler said. “Or Devin Booker is gonna try to give me 70. So, no, you’re not gonna get me. Not today.”

PITTSBURGH – Artem Anisimov doesn’t have Patrick Kane’s hands, or Artemi Panarin’s shot, or Duncan Keith’s speed, or Marian Hossa’s strength, or Jonathan Toews’ tenacity.

But he is skilled. He does have a good shot. He can be quick. He is strong on the puck. He is tenacious at the net.

Anisimov might not be “the best” at anything on the Blackhawks roster, so he doesn’t garner the attention that his higher-profile teammates do. But he is good at just about everything. And his absence is proving just how valuable he is.

Anisimov’s leg injury, suffered March 14 in Montreal, has had a ripple effect throughout the Hawks lineup. Remove that linchpin from the

second-line center spot, and all of a sudden the four-line rotation that carried the Hawks to 12 wins in 13 games in February and early March falls apart. Since Anisimov was hurt, Nick Schmaltz, who struggled mightily on faceoffs, got a crack at his spot. So did Ryan Hartman, who never has played center at the professional level. Now it’s Tanner Kero, who acquitted himself well in his debut there Monday night in Tampa Bay, but Artem who doesn’t fit the Anisimov mold to play between two supremely gifted wingers such as Panarin and Kane.

When it was Schmaltz, the formerly red-hot top line suffered. When it was Hartman, the bottom-six took a hit. And now that it’s Kero, the fourth line is weakened, with Andrew Desjardins moving to center, a spot he hasn’t played much since coming to the Hawks. Every game, coach Joel Quenneville is moving guys around, trying to find the consistency he had when Anisimov was healthy.

6 WHITE SOX SPRING TRAINING

Trade opens door for Jacob May

By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN

dvanschouwen@suntimes.com

SURPRISE, Ariz. – Jacob May got a text from his uncle Carlos, the former Sox who batted third in front of Dick Allen on those good White Sox teams in the early 1970s, Tuesday morning.

“He was like, ‘I’m excited for you,’ ” May said. “Get used to the cold.”

The Sox’s trade Tuesday of outfielder Peter Bourjos to the Rays for cash or a player to be named cleared room for May to be the Sox’s Opening Day center fielder when the they host the Tigers on Monday at Guaranteed Rate Field.

The forecast calls for rain and a high of 55, which probably means about 44 degrees by the time the seventh inning rolls around.

It will feel like 75 with sunny skies to May. He’s going to be a big leaguer for the first time, just like uncle Carlos and his grandfather Lee, who hit 354 homers for the Reds, Astros, Orioles and Royals from 1966 to ’82.

The White Sox’s Jacob May hits a fly ball during a spring training game March 22 against the Athletics in Glendale, Ariz.

Lee called his grandson Tuesday to congratulate him.

He, Carlos and Jacob’s father, Lee Jr. – a Mets first-round draft choice in 1986 – have been monitoring 26-year-old Jacob’s progress since the Sox selected him in the third round of the draft in 2013. Prospect Charlie Tilson’s foot injury opened a door, and May – who was 2 for 4, including an infield single against the Royals on Tuesday

– took advantage by hitting .349 with two walks, four stolen bases in five attempts, two doubles, three triples and a homer this spring. He struck out 14 times.

By letting go of Bourjos, 29, who was signed to a minor league contract and would have been paid $1.2 million, the Sox look more like the rebuilding outfit they intend to be.

For May, the time is now to see what he can do against major league pitching and prove he can be part of the Sox’s future.

“It’s a surreal feeling right now,” he said.

That May led off and played center field, and shortstop Tim Anderson batted second against the Royals on Tuesday, only added to the goosebumps.

May and Anderson did so often at Single-A Winston-Salem in 2014, Double-A Birmingham in 2015 and Triple-A Charlotte in 2016.

“Oh, man. It’s so exciting,” May said. “Going about through this organization, it was 1 and 2, Tim Anderson and me, every step. It’s comfortable, it’s something I’m used to and it would be an honor and dream come true to be in that leadoff spot. To be in the lineup period or on the roster is just an honor. I thank God every day I have the ability to walk into this locker room. It’s exciting and a blessing.”

May knows he has to stay healthy and that has been a challenge. A bruised right

WHITE SOX NOTES

Rodon has left biceps bursitis; Petricka OK

By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN

dvanschouwen@suntimes.com

SURPRISE, Ariz. – The second opinion Carlos Rodon got on his upper left biceps Monday revealed no structural damage, the White Sox said Tuesday morning. The Sox’s left-hander was diagnosed with bursitis and will be placed on a throwing program for the next two weeks before being re-evaluated.

Rodon, who was seen by Los Angeles-based Dr. Neal ElAttrache, was with teammates Tuesday morning in the Sox’s clubhouse at Camelback Ranch and appeared to be in good spirits. An MRI on Friday had showed no structural damage.

“For sure, it was reassuring,” Rodon said Tuesday, “especially going to see the second doctor, and everything ended up well. Our training staff does a great job. Thank God for them.”

Bicep bursitis is a condition that results from inflammation of a bursa, a fluid-filled sac that cushions the shoulder joint. Rodon will open the season

on the disabled list. He said he expects to stay at extended spring training.

“I’ll play catch tomorrow, play catch the whole week, keep on building,” he said, “and I’ll eventually get on the mound sometime.”

X-rays negative on Petricka: X-rays on the right hand of right-hander Jake Petricka, who was struck on the outside of his throwing hand by a line drive Monday in a game against the Dodgers, were negative. Petricka was headed out to the field to play catch, “and seeing how far I can push it because it’s up to tolerance,” he said.

Petricka has come back from hip surgery. He was not a happy camper when he got hit.

“I was upset at the time because last outing, I didn’t want to end that way,” he said. “We’re all good to go. Just a little bruise, and we’ll work through it.”

Bullpen set: Left-handers Cory Luebke and Matt Purke were re-assigned to minor league camp, leaving 15 pitchers in camp with one day left in Arizona.

Zack Burdi, who struck out three in

one inning, likely will go to Triple-A Charlotte to start the season, while Omar Minaya (abdominal strain) and Rodon will start on the disabled list.

The bullpen: David Robertson, Nate Jones, Petricka, Zach Putnam, left-hander Dan Jennings, Michael Ynoa, Anthony Swarzak. Dylan Covey shapes up as the likely fifth starter in Rodon’s absence behind (in order) Jose Quintana, James Shields, Derek Holland and Miguel Gonzalez.

Pierzynski goes full time for FOX: A.J. Pierzynski will serves as a full-time analyst for FOX Sports this season, doing color work and appearing on the “MLB Whiparound” show.

Pierzynski, 40, was a Sox catcher from 2005 to ’12. His last two seasons were with the Braves. Although not official, the FOX job signals the end of a 19-year career for the backstop on the Sox’s ’05 World Series championship team.

Pierzynski played in more than 100 games from 2001 to ’15 and batted .280 with 188 homers.

pinky cut his 2014 season short, the 2015 season was interrupted when he crashed into Anderson and suffered a concussion and his 2016 campaign was limited to 83 games because of abdominal injuries.

Renteria wouldn’t commit May to a regular leadoff role, not wanting to add any more pressure, and said the plan is to play him “five to seven” days a week. Even if he stays healthy, there likely will be rough patches.

“Jacob has done a very nice job,” Renteria said. “He’s played very, very well defensively and offensively. He can put the bat on the ball and do quite a few things. There’s still a learning curve. He might have a bump or bruise along the way, but, hopefully, we will be able to manage that and get him through and keep moving forward.”

With Melky Cabrera in left and Avisail Garcia in right, May will be called on to cover plenty of ground. Utility infielder Leury Garcia will play center when May doesn’t.

Royals 7, Sox 4 (Surprise, Ariz.)

QUINTANA READY TO GO Opening Day starter Jose Quintana scaled back his workload in his final start, as usual, pitching against Brewers minor leaguers on the back fields Tuesday at Camelback Ranch while the Sox were playing the Royals in Surprise.

Quintana threw 48 pitches (38 strikes) over three-plus innings, allowed two hits and a walk while striking out three. Quintana gave up two runs, one earned and said he finished his spring preparation on a high note.

“I’m absolutely ready for the season to start,” Quintana said.

“I felt very good. I attacked the strike zone with all my pitches. I worked in all the things that I’ve been working on in this spring training, and I executed all of them as I wanted.”

The Sox’s top two back relievers, Nate Jones and David Robertson, threw one inning each.

CUBS SPRING TRAINING

By GORDON WITTENMYER MESA, Ariz. – On the seventh pitch of an at-bat in the sixth inning Tuesday, the Cubs’ Jason Heyward lined a double into the right-center gap off the Giants’ Matt Cain.

In the game before that, Heyward walked three times. In his final at-bat of the game before that, he homered.

So is he fixed? Is the $184 million right fielder who slumped to the worst offensive season of his career in 2016 back to at least career-average form now that the offseason work and nearly all of spring training is done?

“I don’t know,” he said.

“You’ll get the answer to that at the end of the season.”

Maybe that’s the nature of these things. It certainly is the only the only part that matters.

Heyward worked daily for long stretches of the winter with hitting coaches John Mallee and Eric Hinske, trying in part to re-create the swing and success he had in 2012, when he hit a career-high 27 homers.

AP photo

He seems more at ease in his second season with the Cubs in the clubhouse and, some suggest, on the field. He said Tuesday he likes where he is physically and mentally at the plate, especially in recent games.

And although his swing doesn’t look dramatically different, his hands are lower, giving him a chance to get to the ball quicker, and there’s less wasted movement in his setup than even early in the spring schedule.

But not even he will guess

what it produces once the season starts in St. Louis on Sunday night.

Depending on the scout you talk to in Arizona, Heyward either looks like the same basic hitter who hit .230 with seven homers and got benched during the playoffs, or he shows signs of renewed life and confidence that could translate to the bounce-back season he and the Cubs are looking for.

“I like what he’s doing right now,” manager Joe Maddon said. “I thought the swings

have been really good lately.

I see them making constant progress. … I see a lot of difference.”

The Cubs won 103 games and the World Series despite Heyward’s struggles at the plate – but also because of what he provided as a Gold Glove right fielder, heady baserunner and with a lunchpail workman’s example he brought to the ballpark.

If he can raise his career-worst .631 OPS even 100 points, it could be a significant factor in the Cubs’ efforts to repeat.

Heyward said his work the past four months has been both a physical and mental process.

“The last few games I’ve gone up there with the mindset of swinging at every pitch and letting my eyes tell me, ‘no.’

That’s how you be aggressive in the strike zone,” said Heyward, who had two seven-pitch at-bats Tuesday coming off the three-walk game.

“I’m not talking about results,” he stresses (still hitting only .163 this spring). “Just the mindset and approach of each at-bat. As far as timing and

CUBS NOTES

Russell at ‘95 percent,’ hopes to avoid DL

By GORDON WITTENMYER gwittenmyer@suntimes.com

MESA, Ariz. – Cubs shortstop Addison Russell said his sore back feels “like 95 percent better,” and he hopes to return to the lineup Wednesday for the first time since last week.

But he acknowledged that if the soreness lingers, it’s possible he’ll open the season on the disabled list with the team taking advantage of the new, shorter, 10day DL. Teams are allowed to backdate such a move to March 30, which would mean he would be eligible to return the day before the April 10 home opener.

“We’re trying to start the season out on a good note, and definitely in St. Louis,” Russell said of Sunday’s season opener. “That’s kind of the goal. But if the back doesn’t feel well till then, maybe that’s something that we have to do.

“But the way that I’m feeling, I don’t think that’s necessary.”

Manager Joe Maddon said the training staff is confident Russell will “be

fine over the next couple days,” and added: “I’m OK with him getting some rest right now.”

As for the possibility of a brief DL stint to buy more recovery time if necessary: “We’re not considering it right now,” Maddon said.

Kawasaki released: The Cubs released popular middle infielder Munenori Kawasaki from his minor league contract Tuesday, the deadline to avoid paying a $100,000 retention fee.

After a strong spring, the move gives Kawasaki a chance to try to land a big league job in the final days before the season starts. If that doesn’t happen, the Cubs are expected to talk to him about returning.

“A guy like that needs to take advantage of how well he’s playing and possibly see if there’s a chance to get a major league job,” Maddon said. “That’s all that is. But we would love to have him back.”

Kawasaki, a career .237 hitter in 276 big league games for three teams, went

11 for 39 (.282) this spring with three extra-base hits, six walks and a .378 onbase percentage.

Sutcliffe dancing with the bar: Former Cubs ace Rick Sutcliffe, a special instructor during the spring, is scheduled to shoot a segment of “Dancing with the Stars” with David Ross on Wednesday.

“I’m not dancing,” he stressed. “I’m going to play a bartender, something I’m more familiar with. I’m not used to being on that side of the bar, but I’m actually closer to a cold beer.”

Sutcliffe, by the way, made his annual trek to the minor league side of camp to meet with the young pitchers Tuesday.

This time around he took special assistant Kevin Youkilis – the reputed “Greek god of walks” for his .382 on-base percentage as a player – and major league ERA leader Kyle Hendricks, who didn’t walk a batter this spring until his last start.

“Talk about commanding the strike zone,” Sutcliffe said. “As you can imagine Hendricks was off the charts [talking to minor leaguers].”

just being able to go up there and react, I feel like [I’ve] been able to do that here, now, these last few games.

“I like how it feels. The approach is good, trusting that, being able to trust myself to lay off pitches not in the zone when you’re being aggressive in the strike zone, swinging at strikes. That’s what I want to do.”

Teammate Jon Lester, who admitted he struggled at times the first season into his $155 million deal, called it “just human nature” for Heyward to have struggled in his first season after the big deal – and to rebound to career norms after.

“You’re coming into a place where you don’t know a lot of guys,” Lester said. “You’re trying to prove you’re worth something. You’re trying to prove to the city, to your teammates, your family, everybody else. …

“Now it’s a matter of he can just go out and play.”

Could that make a difference for the hitter the way it did for the pitcher?

“We’ll see,” Heyward said.

“We’ll see what happens.”

Giants 10, Cubs 7 (Mesa, Ariz.)

GIANT PAIN Chris Marrero and former Cub Justin Ruggiano hit ninth-inning home runs on consecutive pitches from minor leaguer Pierce Johnson – Marrero’s a three-run shot – as the Giants came from behind for the win Tuesday at Sloan Park.

Another ex-Cub, Tim Federowicz, added another homer off Daury Torrez.

ARRIETA READY Jake Arrieta pitched four innings in his final start of the spring, giving up a leadoff homer to Denard Span during a two-run, four-hit, three-strikeout, 36-pitch first. But he retired 10 of his final 11 faced, needing 36 pitches for the final three innings. “I’m getting close,” said Arrieta, who struck out seven and walked none. “There’s still some things that we’ll continue to work on, but that’s kind of the story of the season.”

NFL OWNERS MEETINGS

’17 draft could be Owners revamp video the turning point replay for officiating

By BARRY WILNER

PHOENIX – Bears general manager Ryan Pace is looking and acting very much like a young man quite comfortable in his own skin and confident he is guiding his organization down the right path.

Make no mistake, Pace isn’t happy for a second with 3-13, nor is he under any illusions that kind of futility can continue, but he has no intention of deviating from his plan.

“Building through the draft is the primary way we want to do this,” Pace said Tuesday at the NFL owners meetings.

As for free agency, he explained, “We always say: the best form of free agency is Ryan Pace re-signing your own players because you know the most about those guys.”

No team, however, can completely ignore free agency or build exclusively through the draft, and Pace discussed the possibility that quarterback could fail to make his shopping list in the draft again after adding Mike Glennon and Mark Sanchez.

“Mike Glennon is our starting quarterback, and Sanchez I see as a really good solid No. 2 quarterback,” he said. “I think [Sanchez is] the kind of player that exudes confidence. I like that about him. He’s knowledgeable, he’s smart, and him and Mike have already kind of clicked.

“We’ve talked about it before, there’s no more important room than the quarterback room, and we put a lot of thought as to how that room blends together, especially with the No. 2 position.

“I think we’ve created an environment, not only with him, but also with Connor Shaw, where it’s a room that can really click together and make each other better.”

When Pace first came to town, he talked about drafting a quarterback every year to constantly try to upgrade the position, but he has yet to take one in his first two drafts.

Will 2017 be different?

“We talk about it a lot. We’re going to draft the best players available, wherever that may be,” he said. “And if it’s a quarterback, it’s a quarterback. But we’re going to take the best players available.”

It does feel like it would be stunning if the Bears took a quarter-

BEARS INSIDER Hub Arkush back at No. 3, and listening to Pace, it is hard not to feel right now he might like Glennon, who is just 27 and better than any quarterback available in the draft.

Pace will be ready either way.

“We’ll have an elite group of names that we’re confident will be there (at No. 3). Three names, yeah,” Pace said. “But beyond that, there’s some pretty good depth in this draft, too, so are there scenarios – and it’s easier said than done – where we can trade back? Those things will be discussed.”

Two positions the Bears won’t be drafting at No. 3 are receiver and guard.

Of his first draft pick, Kevin White, Pace said, “I’m glass-half-full (guy); I’m optimistic. But I’m also mindful and responsible about creating the right depth.

“I’m excited about where he’s at right now, where his mindset is at right now, and it’ll be exciting to see that moving forward.”

Pace also is confident of a return to form from his Pro Bowl guard, Kyle Long.

“Fortunately we came to the conclusion that he really didn’t need the shoulder (surgery). I think that helps a lot,” Pace said. “For a player like that to have two surgeries in an offseason is challenging. But for him just to deal with the ankle, I think that was kind of a relief for him. Genetically, he’s a freak, so he’s progressing very well.”

Team Chairman George McCaskey is as frustrated with the losing as Pace, but he told me he’s as confident as ever that his young GM is the guy to get it fixed.

Although there still is no immediate pressure on Pace to win now, it seems likely down the road we will look back on next month’s draft as a turning point in the Pace regime.

Right now he sounds ready and raring to go.

The Associated Press

PHOENIX – NFL owners got busy Tuesday, passing several rules changes, adopting resolutions they believe will speed the game and enhance player safety, and perhaps even allow for more personality in player celebrations.

One day after approving the Oakland Raiders’ move to Las Vegas, the owners sped up discussions on dozens of subjects.

That led to a change in handling officiating of video replays; eliminating “leapers” trying to block field goals or extra points; adding protections for defenseless receivers running their routes; and further discussions with the players about loosening restrictions for on-field celebrations.

The NFL also extended bringing touchbacks out to the 25-yard line for another year; made permanent the rule disqualifying a player who is penalized twice in a game for specific unsportsmanlike conduct fouls; and tabled reducing overtime in the regular season from 15 minutes to 10, a subject likely to be addressed at the May meetings in Chicago.

Referees now will watch replays on the field using Surface tablets, eliminating “going under the hood” to watch on TV monitors. League officiating chief Dean Blandino and his staff in New York will make the final decisions on those calls, with input from the referee, who in the past was the ultimate arbiter after consulting with league headquarters.

“We’ve been doing this for three seasons, since 2014,” Blandino said of the centralized reviews. “It’s worked in the replay process.”

Blandino, who has two assistants who also can make the final decisions at the officiating headquarters, said he has no concern about being undermanned during a heavy schedule.

The leaper rule was a slam dunk, and passed unanimously.

“To a person, the players association was quick to say, ‘We don’t like this play,’ ” competition committee chairman Rich McKay said. “That absolutely always plays a part in our decision. It was an easy play to get out.”

Commissioner Roger Goodell asked that adjustments in the strength of rules limiting player celebrations be tabled so he could meet with players to “bring clarity to the rules while allowing players more ability to celebrate” while avoiding over-the-top demonstrations. That proposal likely will be re-

visited in May. McKay noted that just because ejections and suspensions for egregious hits have been made a permanent rule instead of a one-year deal doesn’t mean the league has a problem. The committee believes suspensions are “the ultimate detriment to players” and will curb any further incidents.

Also tabled was eliminating the mandatory summer cutdown to 75 players, which would leave only one cut at the end of preseason.

Voted down were suggestions to permit coaches to challenge any officials’ decisions other than scoring plays and turnovers, which automatically are reviewed. Washington’s proposal to move the line of scrimmage to the 20yard line instead of the 25 if a kickoff is sent through the uprights was defeated.

Other actions taken Tuesday included: n Crackback blocks by a backfield player who goes in motion are now banned. n Creating an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty for committing multiple fouls during the same down with the purpose of manipulating the game clock. n Allowing teams to interview or hire an employee of another team during the season if the other team consents. n Modifying some bylaws regarding bringing draft-eligible players to clubs’ facilities; changed procedures for returning a player to the active ranks from lists such as physically unable to perform, nonfootball injury or nonfootball illness; and tightened the restrictions on what is considered a local workout before the draft.

Those local workouts worked against teams with few major colleges in the area or players who are residents, citing Green Bay vs. Miami.

Withdrawn were proposals to award a third coaches’ challenge as long as a team was correct on one of its first two challenges instead of on both; eliminating the maximum of three challenges entirely; and permitting a club to negotiate and reach a contract with a head coaching candidate anytime during the postseason. Now, there is a specific window for interviewing such candidates, whose season must be over before they can be hired.

The league also discussed allowing players and coaches on the sidelines to use the tablets to watch video, but that was not on the voting agenda Tuesday.

• FINAL FOUR X-FACTORS

The Associated Press

Frank Mason III was a last-minute recruit for Kansas. He turned into the Jayhawks’ latest All-American.

The senior guard was the only unanimous selection to the 2016-17 AP All-America team Tuesday, receiving all first-team votes from the same 65-member national media panel that selects the weekly AP Top 25.

“I love the kid, and I think he knows how I feel about him, but I’ve never been more proud, not Josh Hart that he’s won a postseason award, but he’s done everything that he’s supposed to do,” Kansas coach Bill Self said. “He’s been a great teammate, he’s been tough as nails, he’s worked his butt off, he’s Caleb loved by everyone in the Swanigan academic departments, graduated, and to see him reap these benefits after putting in so much time is an unbelievable honor.”

The rest of the AllAmerica team includes guards Josh Hart of VilLonzo Ball lanova and Lonzo Ball of UCLA, plus forwards Caleb Swanigan of Purdue and Justin Jackson of North Carolina. Votes were based on the regular season and conference tournaments.

Mason averaged 20.8 Justin Jackson points, 4.1 rebounds and 5.1 assists while shooting 48.7 percent from 3-point range.

“My goals were always just to be successful as a team, do whatever I can do to make sure we’re successful, and really change it at the defensive end and get after it,” Mason said. “Yeah, that’s pretty cool to see my name alongside those great KU players, it means a lot to me, but noth-

Mason on Tuesday was selected to The Associated Press All-America first team. ing would be possible without my teammates and coaching staff.”

Mason is the first All-American from Kansas since Thomas Robinson in 2012.

Hart, a senior who was key to Villanova’s 2016 national championship, averaged 18.9 points and 6.5 rebounds for the Wildcats.

“It was definitely a goal,” Hart said of the All-America recognition. “Now that it happened, it’s humbling. A great honor. I’ve got to thank everyone that voted for me.”

Coach Jay Wright called Hart “the perfect combination of talent, hard work, intelligence and humility.”

“He never let any single year’s accomplishment deter him from getting better,” Wright said. “I think he’s one of the most complete basketball players in the country.”

The sophomore Swanigan led the nation with 26 double-doubles and was the only player in Division I to average 18 points (18.5) and 12 rebounds (12.6) while

it in only 17.2 minutes a game entering Continued from page 12 the semifinals against South Carolina in a Here’s a look at players who could matchup of two firstemerge from the shadows this week- time Final Four proend in Phoenix: grams.

Gonzaga: The West Region’s top Oregon: On a team Zach Collins seed has freshman Zach Collins, a 7-0 led by Dillon Brooks McDonald’s All-American, coming off and Tyler Dorsey, 6-9 junior Jordan the bench behind center Przemek Kar- Bell is averaging 10.9 points and 8.6 nowski. Collins is averaging 9.9 points rebounds. But after the Ducks lost and 5.7 rebounds while shooting 65.4 shot-blocker Chris Boucher to a knee percent off the bench, and he’s doing injury during the Pac-12 tournament,

shooting 53.4 percent, 43.1 percent on 3s.

“He’s a very knowledgeable guy. Now he’s been through it in terms of experience, understanding scouting reports and those types of things,” Purdue coach Matt Painter said. “He really gets it. I think he really separated himself from a lot of people with the consistent play.”

Ball, who already has declared for the NBA draft, took the country by storm as a freshman. He averaged 14.6 points, 6.1 rebounds and 7.9 assists while putting UCLA back on the national map in a hurry. He received 54 first-team votes.

Coach Steve Alford called Ball “very deserving of the recognition.”

“He’s been special for us all year,” Alford said. “He’s been an incredible teammate, and everything that he’s done has been contagious throughout our team.”

The last All-American from UCLA was freshman Kevin Love in 2008.

Bell proved his ability to dominate inside by finishing with 11 points, 13 rebounds and eight blocks in the Midwest Region final to help the Ducks beat No. 1 seed Kansas for their Jordan Bell first Final Four since winning the 1939 NCAA title.

South Carolina: Rakym Felder is the “New York City point guard” coach Frank Martin said he wanted. The 5-10 freshman has started only once

all year and plays 14.5 minutes a game, but has had some key production in the NCAA tournament – most notably by tallying 15 points, four rebounds Rakym Felder and three assists in the upset of two-seed Duke in the East Region’s second round.

Felder is shooting a team-best 43 percent from 3-point range while averaging 5.7 points entering the Gonzaga game.

Florida coach sorry after shoving Auburn player after game

GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Florida softball coach Tim Walton apologized Tuesday for a shoving match with Auburn shortstop Haley Fagan during postgame handshakes.

After the Tigers beat Florida, 1-0, Monday night, Fagan didn’t shake Walton’s hand.

The coach lightly shoved her in the shoulder with his right hand. Fagan pushed Walton in the back, and the two exchanged words.

A scrum broke out around them, and a yelling Fagan and the coach were separated.

“I apologize to Haley. I just wanted to congratulate Auburn on the win – it was a good series,” Walton posted on the Gators’ softball Twitter account.“My intent was to give a high-five to each opposing player as we do after every game. Apparently, her hand wasn’t up as I said ‘good game’ and

I touched her shoulder. I should have paid closer attention and did not intend to upset her. I regret that this has taken attention away from the effort and sportsmanship both teams displayed all weekend.”

USA Hockey, women’s players reach agreement to avoid boycott

USA Hockey and the women’s national team reached an agreement to end a wage dispute and avoid a boycott of the world championships on home ice that would’ve been a black eye for the sport.

Players and USA Hockey finalized the deal Tuesday night and announced it in a joint statement three days before the tournament begins in Plymouth, Michigan. It’s a four-year agreement that pays players beyond just the six-month Olympic period.

2018 WORLD CUP QUALIFIER: PANAMA 1, UNITED STATES 1

Dempsey, Pulisic star again in draw

By RONALD BLUM

The Associated Press PANAMA CITY – Christian Pulisic made an outstanding individual move to steal the ball, spin a defender and feed Clint Dempsey for his 56th international goal, and the United States hung on for an important 1-1 draw against Panama on Tuesday night in World Cup qualifying.

Dempsey’s 39th-minute goal on a warm and humid night moved him within one of Landon Donovan’s American scoring record, but the lead did not last long. Gabriel Gomez tied the score four minutes later after a throw-in.

Tim Howard thwarted Luis Tejada with a between-the-legs stop in the 59th minute, at 38 providing another top night in goal.

The U.S. was reeling after its first two games in the final round of the North and Central American and Caribbean region, 0-2 and last in the hexagonal.

Jurgen Klinsmann was fired in November and replaced by Bruce Arena, the U.S. coach from 1998 to 2006, and the Americans accomplished their immediate goal by getting back into contention with Friday’s 6-0 home rout of Honduras and a valuable point on the road.

Mexico leads with 10 points, followed by Costa Rica with seven, Panama with five, the U.S. and Honduras with four each, and Trinidad and Tobago with three.

El Tri won, 1-0, at Trinidad, and Cos-

ta Rica rallied for a 1-1 tie at Honduras. The top three nations qualify for next year’s World Cup in Russia, and the No. 4 team advances to a playoff against Asia’s fifth-place nation.

Play resumes June 8 when the U.S. hosts Trinidad, most likely at Commerce City, Colorado, and the Americans start the second half of their schedule three days later at Mexico.

Pulisic, an 18-year-old who made his international debut March 29 last year, is quickly establishing himself as the top American player with rare skill.

He stole the ball from Panama captain Felipe Baloy at the edge of the penalty area and broke in on goal. He stopped, stepped on the ball with his right foot as defender Roman Torres spun, played the ball from his right foot to his left and cut it back to Dempsey.

The 34-year-old returned to the national team with a hat trick Friday after missing nine months because of an irregular heartbeat, and Pulisic assisted on two of them. The pair combined again, with Dempsey scoring with a right-footed shot from 6 yards while sliding on his backside.

Panama tied the score on Gomez’s 12th international goal, the first against the U.S. in four games under Arena.

Adolfo Machado’s throw-in bounced off a scrum, and Gomez beat Tim Ream and Jorge Villafana to the loose ball for the open shot from 4 yards that went past Howard inside the far post.

United States goalkeeper Tim Howard kneels in front of his goal after Panama’s Gabriel Gomez scored in a 2018 World Cup qualifying soccer match Tuesday in Panama City. The teams tied, 1-1.

GREENBURGH, N.Y. – Joakim Noah was seeking help to overcome injuries that wrecked his first season in New York and turned to an overthe-counter supplement.

That decision “backfired,” Noah said Tuesday.

It led to a 20-game suspension for violating the NBA’s Joakim Noah anti-drug policy, preventing Noah from ending a disappointing year on a positive note.

“This was a tough moment, but I’m going to learn from it,” Noah said. “I tried to take a supplement to help me with everything I’ve gone through.

I’ve gone through a lot of injuries, and I tried to take something to help me and it backfired.”

Noah returned to practice Tuesday after Feb. 27 surgery to remove a loose body from his left knee. The knee in-

jury came after a hamstring injury he was trying to recover from around the All-Star break.

All told, he played only 46 games in the first season of a four-year, $72 million contract he signed last summer.

“I wanted to do something to help myself, help my body, and like I said, it backfired on me,” Noah said. “I tried to take the right measures when I was taking the supplements and it wasn’t enough.”

The league cited Noah for Selective Androgen Receptor Modulator LGD4033. The U.S. Anti-Doping Agency has said that the substance, known as SARMs, has “similar properties to anabolic agents, but ... the lack of steroid-related side effects.”

Noah was aware of the warnings players get when it comes to outside supplements, but might have been desperate for some relief in the midst of a second straight injury-plagued season. He was limited to 29 games in his final season with the Bulls because of a left shoulder injury that required surgery.

12 NCAA MEN’S BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT: FINAL FOUR

UNC’s Maye headlines list of X-factors Collins, Bell, Felder 3 other names to watch in Final 4

By AARON BEARD

The Associated Press CHAPEL HILL, N.C. – North Carolina’s Luke Maye can’t go to class without getting a standing ovation nor walk across campus without getting stopped by people requesting to take a photo with him.

All because of one shot – one that lifted the Tar Heels past Kentucky to reach the Final Four while turning the sophomore from rotation reserve to sudden star.

“He’s big-time now,” junior Justin Jackson said. “I feel like AP photo we need some security around North Carolina forward Luke Maye celebrates after shooting campus.” the winning basket in the second half of the South Regional Maye headlines a group of final against Kentucky in the NCAA tournament Sunday in players that could emerge as Memphis, Tenn. The basket gave North Carolina a 75-73 win. X-factors in determining wheth-

er UNC, Gonzaga, Oregon or South Carolina wins the national championship. Don’t sleep on Gonzaga’s Zach Collins, Oregon’s Jordan Bell or South Carolina’s Rakym Felder.

“The entire year, [coach Roy Williams] has been putting me in the games, wanting me to make good plays,” Maye said Tuesday.

“Some games I hit a shot early, in other games I’d just get a rebound or make a good pass. I’m just trying to go out there and help my team win as best I can.”

The 6-foot-9 Maye entered last weekend as a player who has had some good moments – including 15 rebounds against Florida State and 13 points at rival North Carolina State – but generally played to spell starters Kennedy Meeks or Isaiah Hicks up front.

Yet he had shown a soft shooting touch and the ability to pull defending big men out to the perimeter. And when Hicks got in early foul trouble against Butler in the Sweet 16, Maye became much more than a sub for the Tar

Heels (31-7).

The guy who came in averaging 5.1 points in 13.8 minutes a game went for 16 points and 12 rebounds in the win against the Bulldogs. Then, with Hicks struggling against the Wildcats in the Elite Eight, Maye scored 17 points – the last two coming on that jumper with 0.3 seconds left for the 75-73 win.

Maye made 12 of 19 shots and 5 of 8 3-pointers – 63 percent in both cases – during the two-game stop in Memphis, Tennessee, to lift the South Region’s No. 1 seed to a record 20th Final Four to face Oregon on Saturday.

“When he sets a screen, most of the time [defenders] are hedging long,” Jackson said. “So whenever he pops, it’s hard for them to find him. So that’s huge. And then outside of that, because he’s a stretch-4, there’s much more room inside for the guards to drive. ... So when he’s in there, I think that really helps us.”

The Washington Post Few beer names are as deliciously evocative as Harviestoun Old Engine Oil. Even before cracking open a can or prying the cap from the bottle, you expect a pint glass full of an opaque and viscous liquid, perhaps decadently rich.

And you’d be right, mostly.

Old Engine Oil pours a deep brown, verging on black, with a long-lasting, tawny-colored head. Stick your nose in the glass and you’re rewarded with aromas of smoke, bittersweet chocolate, roasted coffee and a hint of plum. So far, so good.

But Old Engine Oil doesn’t drink as chewy as it looks: The mouth feel is surprisingly slick and creamy, and the thin body tastes of bittersweet chocolate and toasted biscuit. There’s one more trick in store: Old Engine Oil finishes with a noticeable heat akin to a high-test barley wine, and yet it’s only 6 percent alcohol by volume.

Harviestoun, a 30-year-old brewery in Clackmannanshire, in the Scottish lowlands, first brewed Old Engine Oil in 2000. It has been variously marketed as a porter and a black ale over the years. In any case, you’ll be glad you took a chance on the Scottish beer with the curious name.

Sautéed Pork Medallions with Grape Sauce AP photo

Pork medallions with grape sauce is quick entrée

By SARA MOULTON The Associated Press

Here’s a quick, easy and delicious weeknight entree that’s certain to impress your family. The star of the show is pork tenderloin, the leanest and most tender part of the animal. Like beef tenderloin, pork tenderloin is a muscle cushioned by other muscles.

It’s tender because it’s not used very much. I prefer it hands-down to pork loin, which is prone to cook up dry and tough.

Pork tenderloin is a narrow cylinder of meat, usually weighing between 1 to 1¼ pounds. For this recipe it’s cut crosswise into rounds (or medallions).

These medallions would be kind of puny if you cut the tenderloin straight down because it’s only about 2 inches in diameter. Here, though, we slice it at a 45-degree angle into rounds that are around 3 inches in diameter.

Tender as it is, tenderloin will dry out if it’s overcooked. This recipe arms you with two ways to guard against it. First, dip the medallions in flour before browning them. Second, brown the meat very quickly, just one minute per side. (Make sure your pan is good and hot before adding the meat.) The flour not only furnishes the meat with a protective outer coating, it also helps thicken the sauce when the meat is returned to the pan at the end of the

recipe. And the quick browning leaves the pork extra-pink inside, which makes it that much harder to overcook afterward.

The grapes are the surprise ingredient here.

Much as we love grapes straight off the vine, a cooked grape is one in which the flavor has been concentrated. In effect, it becomes grape-ier. Once you’ve tasted the cooked grapes in this recipe, you may find yourself adding them to other savory sauces. Try them with sautéed chicken and see for yourself.

Sautéed Pork Medallions with Grape Sauce Start to finish: 40 minutes (20 active) Servings: 4

1 pork tenderloin (about 1-1¼ pounds) 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil Kosher salt and black pepper 1/2 cup Wondra or all-purpose flour 1/4 cup minced shallots or onion 1 cup red or yellow seedless grapes or a mix, halved 1/2 cup dry white wine 1½ cups low sodium chicken broth 1 teaspoon firmly packed dark brown sugar 1½ tablespoons Dijon mustard Slice the pork diagonally at a 45-degree angle into 7 to

8 pieces, each about ¾- to 1-inch thick. Don’t worry if the pieces are not all the same size. Just make sure they are all the same thickness.

In a large skillet heat half the oil over medium-high heat.

While the oil is heating, season half the pork medallions on both sides with salt and pepper and then dip them in the flour, shaking off the excess. Add them to the skillet and brown them quickly, about 1 minute a side, transferring them to a plate when they are done. Repeat the procedure with the remaining pork, flour and oil.

Add the shallots to the skillet, reduce the heat to medium-low and cook the shallots, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the grapes and cook, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes. Add the white wine and deglaze the pan, scraping up the brown bits and simmer the wine until it is reduced to about ¼ cup.

Add the chicken broth and sugar and simmer until reduced by half. Whisk in the mustard. Return the pork and any juice from the plate to the skillet and simmer gently, turning the medallions, several times, for 2 minutes. Divide the pork medallions among 4 plates and spoon some of the sauce over each portion.

A cure for what ails

How to make a simple chicken soup worth crowing about

By BONNIE S. BENWICK The Washington Post

For every cook who knows from real chicken soup, there are probably six others who think it’s fine to simmer naked chicken breasts in canned broth and call it a day. Convenience has its place in the kitchen; that’s what modernity demands. But in the matter of homemade vs. expedient, the latter settles for less.

Restorative and magic-cure powers aside, a bowl of real chicken soup satisfies at almost any time of year because it’s the lightest comfort food around. Its aroma is as complex as that of handcrafted coffee, with a hint of sweetness and grassy herb.

Its vegetables are crisp-tender, the phrase food writers reach for when describing a plant texture that yields to a gentle bite. Some noodles, maybe a planetary matzoh ball, may have been introduced just long enough to absorb a broth whose surface must shimmer with diaphanous fat. The chicken itself ought to taste like ... chicken.

All of that doesn’t happen in 30 minutes. However, it can take less work and less time than you may think. Through testing and tips from experts, we have developed a method for making chicken soup that fits the description above. Hopefully, it can convince the canned broth-ers and the takeout-reliant to go an extra step or two, and it might even budge more-experienced hands to tweak their own favorite recipes. The perfume of this soup on the stove could do that all on its own.

Onions provide the underpinning for a well-built and well-colored broth. Sauté several in chunks until golden, and the ensuing liquid will respond in kind; char the cut sides of unpeeled halves, and the broth will approach the roasty brown of a beef-mushroom blend.

For three quarts of straight-up, deli-style chicken soup, you need a whole chicken, cut up, because the combination of meat and bones and fat will give you the best shot. A medium-size organic bird or one from the farmers market is worth the cost here. But keep in mind a few extra dollars will not guarantee consistent results.

“Chickens come different, kind of like people,” said chef Guy Brandt of Brooklyn’s Deli in Potomac. “Sometimes they are fatty, or just don’t taste as good as the last one.”

It’s the kind of thing you would

Chicken Soup With Benefits Washington Post photo

Chicken soup FAQs Why a whole chicken?

The combination of fat and gelatin-rich bones therein will give you the best shot at the most flavorful broth that, ideally, should have a little body to it. The bird can be whole or cut up. In the accompanying recipe, the meat from the chicken does not cook for a long time and therefore can be used as a soup component. About 2 pounds of chicken wings could be used instead. For the accompanying recipe, though, it’s easier to detach the skin for that fried-chicken skin benefit.

In a SeriousEats.com kitchen test, the thinnest and lightest-colored broth was made with boneless skinless chicken breasts.

Why not start with a commercial broth?

Lots of home cooks do, of course. But some products have lots of additives, including potato flour, yeast extract and “natural chicken flavor,” and those who are wheat-, dairy- or glutenintolerant need to read the labels closely to see whether the broths were manufactured in a facility that processes those ingredients. And some of those additives make for a cloudy broth.

What makes a broth cloudy?

Generally, tiny protein particles will make a DIY broth cloudy. This happens often when the broth is brought to a full boil, so a state of “barely bubbling” is the way to go for clear broth.

If cooked noodles or chicken sit in refrigerated broth for more than a day, they can start to break down into particles, too.

Why do so many store-bought broths and soup bases contain yeast extract?

It’s commonly used to add an “umami” characteristic, and it contains some naturally occurring monosodium glutamate (MSG).

Why no skimming?

The chicken spends less time in liquid in this recipe than in others. Without the skin, there’s less fat and fewer impurities to rise to the top. Also, we’re taking a tip from chefs here: Instead of skimming, we let the broth and its components cool in the pot, then cover and refrigerate overnight. This enhances flavor and makes for easier straining the next day.

Why add lemon juice?

A squeeze of fresh lemon juice is a guaranteed flavor brightener that’s good for almost all soups. And it may help reduce the amount of salt you’ll add for flavor. notice, making vats of soup week after week.

You will strip away and reserve

all its skin except for what’s on the wings. In this, you will be able to render the chicken skin to crispy,

can’t-eat-just-one bits to top the soup with. A benefit. Here are a few more: a pot that doesn’t need skimming and chicken meat that’s tender.

Parsnips, leeks, tomatoes and fresh thyme or parsley all can join the bird for a swim. They can deepen and sweeten the broth’s flavor.

Carrot and celery are musts. With enough water to cover, everything cooks in well under an hour, brought first to something less than a full boil, then reduced to a stovetop heat that promotes lazy surface bubbles.

(A long spell in a slow cooker can achieve the same result.) Skimming’s not required, but if you do, there won’t be much to offload.

At this point, you would taste for the essence of chicken, Brandt suggests. If that is not so pronounced, then it’s time to stir in a dollop of prepared soup base or bouillon concentrate – a kind of reverse kitchen engineering that makes sense to us.

Turn off the heat and let the mix cool down, then cover and refrigerate overnight. This is an important infusion step that makes a night-andday difference in flavor.

The next day, or the day after that, discard the vegetables and double-strain the broth. Shred the chicken and refrigerate it in some of that broth; that way, the meat won’t dry out or cause the broth to become cloudy. (You can store it for an extra day or two, and it’s also good for a quick protein snack or house-cat reward, not to mention chicken salad.)

When you’re ready to serve, you can sauté new chopped carrot, celery and onion, or just toss the first two, along with the shredded chicken, into the strained broth as it reheats.

Cooking any noodles separately and rinsing them will help keep the soup clear; add them and a handful of chopped fresh dill or tarragon and warm through.

Soup kugel’s an old recipe with a modern sensibility. Beaten eggs and simple seasonings go into justcooked fine egg noodles and are baked in a pie plate. Sliced into thin wedges and served at the center of a steaming bowl, what you get is an elegant, freezable alternative to mushy, waterlogged pasta.

Before you season your chicken soup with salt, taste and add a generous splash of lemon juice – it will brighten and heighten flavors more than you can imagine.

Sweet potatoes, carrots sparkle with vinaigrette

By MELISSA D’ARABIAN The Associated Press

Starchy sides are a mainstay of the classic American dinner. It’s easy to get complacent and rely on a trusty, if unimaginative, rotation of mealtime regulars: rice, potatoes, noodles.

The problem with serving essentially the same (white) thing over and over is we are missing an opportunity to bring a variety of nutrients to the table in that starchy side. And we are missing out on the joys of new colors and flavors if we just stick to the stuff that looks and tastes remarkable similar. So why not add a few colorful and interesting options to the dinner starch repertoire?

Sweet potatoes are a great start, but also consider vegetables such as peas, corn, winter squashes (such as spaghetti, acorn and butternut), and sweet root vegetables such as carrots and parsnips as potential stand-ins for rice or pasta.

One of my favorite ways to prepare these starchy sides in colder months is to toss them in a quick vinaigrette and then roast. The vinaigrette can be quite simple: even vinegar, salt and pepper and a bit of oil will perk up the flavor.

My recipe brings together both a starch and a root vegetable. Redfleshed sweet potatoes (often called “yams” in American supermarkets) and carrots are tossed in a soy sauce and rice vinegar marinade, which caramelizes beautifully in the oven.

The resulting side dish is less Asian than the ingredients would suggest, and it marries perfectly with roasted chicken, grilled fish or alongside spicy lentils or just a hearty salad if you are eating vegetarian.

The sweet potatoes are jam-packed with a variety of vitamins and minerals, most notably vitamin C and K and potassium. The carrots are lower calorie than the starchier sweet potato, and they complement the nutrient profile with a ton of vitamin A as well as good quantities of vitamin C and potassium. The two together become a nutrition powerhouse compared to standard starches. Plus, the dinner plate just looks pretty with the gorgeous orange color.

Bring a large saucepan of water to boil over high heat, and once boiling, add the sweet potato and carrot cubes and cook just for three minutes. Drain and set aside.

Meanwhile, place the soy sauce, vinegar, olive oil, shallot, garlic, ginger and lemon juice in a blender and blend until smooth, about 30 seconds. (For chunkier marinade, just mince everything and whisk together.) Pat the sweet potato and carrot dry with a paper towel, and place in bowl. Pour the vinaigrette over the cubes and toss to coat. Let marinate for 10 minutes (or up to a couple of hours), stirring at least once. Cover the bottom of a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Drain the excess marinade and discard.

Scatter the sweet potato and carrot cubes across the baking sheet. Mist lightly with olive oil (or use nonstick spray). Roast until tender, and the edges show a slight char, about 25 minutes, stirring halfway through.

Sprinkle with parsley and serve.

Options: add red pepper flakes and a teaspoon of maple syrup for a sweet and spicy version, or a little sesame oil for a more Asian version, or top with cilantro, chopped green onions and lime juice.

Lee Trevino said, “Only bad golfers are lucky. They’re the ones bouncing balls off trees, curbs, turtles and cars. Good golfers have bad luck.

When you hit the ball straight, a funny bounce is bound to be unlucky.”

In some bridge deals, if declarer gets one unlucky break, it might be mitigated by a lucky lie in another suit -- as in this deal. How did South play in four spades after West led the heart king?

First, I like North’s opening. Although he had the minors, the suits had good “impletion,” and North had no rebid problem. Then, after West’s two-heart intervention and North’s pass, South balanced with a takeout double. North continued with three clubs, South bid three spades and North raised.

If trumps were 3-1, South had only three losers: one spade, one heart and one club. So he wondered about a 4-0 split. Then he would need to establish a quick diamond trick on which to discard his heart loser. But even if he got lucky in diamonds, he would require a dummy entry.

Declarer cashed his spade ace at trick two, getting the bad news. Then he led the diamond queen, planning to run it. However, when West covered with the king, South won with dummy’s ace and continued with the diamond 10. If East had played low, declarer would have pitched the heart four. After East played the jack, though, South ruffed, crossed to the spade king and threw the heart four on the diamond nine. Then declarer claimed his contract, conceding two spades and one club.

Oh, most beautiful flower of Mt. Carmel fruitful vine, splendor of Heaven, Blessed Mother of the Son of God. Immaculate Virgin, assist me in my necessity. Oh star of the sea, help me and show me here you are my Mother. Oh Holy Mary, Mother of God Queen of Heaven and Earth, I humbly beseech you from the bottom of my heart to succor me in my necessity (make request).

There are none which can withstand your power.

O Mary conceived without sin pray for us who have recourse to thee. (three times) Holy Mary, I place this prayer in your hands (three times) Say this prayer for three consecutive days and then you must publish and it will be granted to you.
