Are we able to be ‘fearless’ when life’s ‘bulls’ charge?

Perhaps you’ve heard about the sculpture called “The Fearless Girl” that stands in Bowling Green Park in Lower Manhattan in New York City.

The sculpture, created by artist Kristen Visbal, depicts a young girl, probably about 8 or 9, with her hands on her hips and her ponytail blowing in the breeze. She has a look of determination on her face because she is facing down a threat.

The threat? The famous bronze statue “Charging Bull,” which has become a symbol of Wall Street power and strength.

“The Fearless Girl” was put up in the park

by State Street Global Advisors, reportedly as a way to draw attention to the need for more women on corporate boards and the need for more gender diversity on Wall Street.

The sculpture was supposed to stay up only for a week, as a way to kick off Women’s History Month. Then its permit was extended until April 2. But now it will stay at the New York Department of Transportation site through February 2018, according to a decision by New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio.

Not surprisingly, the sculpture has become a bit of a celebrity. Maybe that has something to do with its striking a chord with so many of us.

Of course, “The Fearless Girl” isn’t without her critics. Some take issue with depicting the power of corporate women as a young girl, calling it demeaning and patriarchal. Some, including the sculptor who created “Charging Bull,” Arturo Di Modica, dismiss her as a marketing ploy.

As a woman in the workplace, I’ve seen my share of gender bias. And the fact that the national women’s hockey team had to threaten to boycott the world championships in order to take a stand for a “living wage” shows that the

NEW YORK – Congresswoman Clinton? President Clinton? For now, Chelsea Clinton insists she’s focused far less on her political future than on burnishing her profile as an author of children’s books.

The former first daughter embarked Tuesday on a six-state book tour that was scheduled back when she believed her mother was on the way to the White House. But with Hillary Clinton’s political career possibly over following a devastating

WHERE IT’S AT

battle goes beyond the corporate boardroom.

Still, “The Fearless Girl” represents a metaphor that encompasses that fight, as well as transcends it. To me, a girl of 8 or 9 is exactly the right champion for the cause not only of women’s rights, but of learning to stand on one’s own two feet to stare down whatever challenges may be coming. That, of course, has nothing to do with gender or race or political persuasion.

At that age, didn’t we all have dreams that were bigger than we thought possible? Didn’t we want to conquer the world and beyond? Our potential and hopes were limitless.

For a lot of us, those dreams became trampled over time by the countless “bulls” that came along with trying to earn a living, raise a family and just make our way in a confusing and often unfair world.

Maybe “The Fearless Girl” knows that she has supporters in her corner, rooting her on and giving her even more confidence. So many of us do have cheering squads, whether we know it or not.

In “The Fearless Girl,” I see hope. In her, I see the need to stand up straight, put our hands on our hips and stare it all down. Maybe you do, too.

The message: Be brave. Let’s go. All right, bulls, bring it.

presidential election loss to Donald Trump, people can’t stop speculating about whether the younger Clinton intends to take up the family business.

Those closest to Chelsea Clinton say she maintains a passion for public service but has only just begun to contemplate her role in a future that doesn’t include President Hillary Clinton.

“There’s lots of TBDs in Chelsea’s future,” Clinton chief of staff Bari Lurie said, using the acronym for “to be determined.”

Businessman Wayne Jett soars to victory

By NATE LINHART

nlinhart@shawmedia.com McHENRY – Local businessman Wayne Jett will be the next mayor of McHenry, according to unofficial results Tuesday night.

Jett defeated former Mayor Steve Cuda by about 1,500 votes, according to the unofficial results.

Jett is the owner of Jett’s Heating and Air Inc. and Sideline Marketing and Sports Memorabilia. Jett, who has lived in McHenry for more than 25 years, has organized fundraisers through his businesses to give back to the community.

He will succeed Mayor Sue Low, who has been the city’s mayor since she was first elected in 2003.

Not a career politician, Jett said he is looking to bringing a fresh perspective to city government, and he plans to invest in the downtown area to try to revitalize the city.

“When I announced my candidacy six months ago, there were those who Sarah Nader – snader@shawmedia.com said this couldn’t be done,” Jett said in McHenry mayoral candidate Wayne Jett celebrates his victory over challenger Steve a news release. “I’m not a politician, Cuda on Tuesday at his election night party at Bulldog Ale House in McHenry. Jett is the public speaker and an insider. But I owner of Jett’s Heating and Air Inc. and Sideline Marketing and Sports Memorabilia. knew what I had to bring to the table:

“I’m not a politician, public speaker and an insider.

But I knew what I had to bring to the table.”

Wayne Jett

McHenry mayor elect a tireless work ethic, a vision for our city and the support of so many friends and family who I knew would step up with me. It is because of you that we’re celebrating today.”

Cuda served as mayor from 1993 to 2001 before deciding not to run for another term. He also previously served as a member of the Fox Valley Freeway Citizens Advisory Committee and served for 10 years as a member of the McHenry High School District 156 Board, including four years as its president.

Cuda, who is an attorney at Hamer, Schuh and Cuda in Woodstock, ran on a platform of reducing the city’s share of the real estate tax burden.

WOODSTOCK MAYOR

Brian Sager defeats 2 challengers to serve fourth term

By BRITTANY KEEPERMAN

bkeeperman@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – Brian Sager will remain mayor of the city of Woodstock for another four years, according to unofficial election results Tuesday.

Voters elected Sager by 1,834 votes.

Sager faced two challengers this election cycle, including local business owner Gregg Hanson and McHenry County Board member Michael Rein.

Rein received 941 votes, and Hanson followed with 335 votes, according to unofficial results.

“I am eternally grateful for the community and residents for their outpouring of support,” Sager said. “I have always believed that Woodstock is a community that identifies areas of need and works together to make good things happen.”

He added that he was glad residents connected with his message.

“I believe in today’s environment

it’s important to recognize that now more than ever we have to come together and work to establish a sense of resolution and consensus,” he said. “People coming to that message and supporting it means the world to me.”

Three City Council seats also were up for grabs.

Incumbents Mike Turner and Joe Stravinsky faced challengers Scott Gessert, Jim Prindiville, Gordon Tebo and Michael Stanard.

Turner will remain seated. He will be joined by Tebo and Prindiville.

Tebo received the highest number of votes with 1,704. Turner followed with 1,532, and Prindiville came in just behind at 1,512.

RB Thompson did not seek re-election, and Joseph Starzynski has been succeeded. The Woodstock City Council will meet for a budget workshop April 13 and will have its regular meeting at 7 p.m. April 18 at Woodstock City Hall.

CARY MAYOR

Mark Kownick holds seat by slight margin

By HANNAH PROKOP

hprokop@shawmedia.com CARY – About 20 votes separated Cary Mayor Mark Kownick and challenger Trustee Jim Cosler in Tuesday’s election.

Kownick received 1,555 votes, while Cosler received 1,534, according to unofficial results.

“It feels good, and it’s a great opportunity,” Kownick said late Tuesday.

“We will continue to move Cary forward positively.”

In 2009, Kownick was appointed as a trustee to fill a vacancy. He was first elected mayor in 2013. Throughout his campaign, Kownick has said he’d like to continue to make Cary a destination.

Kownick has said he’d look at annexation options to increase the village’s tax base, and see through several ongoing projects, including the completion of the Metra train station, downtown streetscape improvements and Sage Products’ expansion.

In 2015, Cosler was elected as a write-in trustee candidate. Before being elected to the board, he was the leader of a group opposing Pedcor’s Garden Place Apartments project, an apartment complex at First and Pearl streets that drew hundreds to Village Board meetings.

Cosler emphasized throughout his campaign the importance of being a transparent leader and working to take residents’ input into consideration.

Cosler could not immediately be reached for comment after all precincts had reported Tuesday night; however, earlier in the night he said he was remaining optimistic in the close race.

HEBRON VILLAGE PRESIDENT

Newcomer wins four-way contest for top spot

By BRETT ROWLAND

browland@shawmedia.com HEBRON – Voters dumped a leader twice arrested in connection with smoking crack-cocaine in favor of a political newcomer in the four-way race for village president in Hebron.

Kimberly Martinez, a real estate agent, received 157 votes, or 41.76 percent of the total votes cast in the race, according to unofficial results Tuesday night. She beat out Village Board member Mark Mogan (82 votes), in-

cumbent John Jacobson (77 votes) and former Village President Frank Beatty (60 votes).

“It’s exciting that I have the opportunity to help Hebron move forKimberly ward,” Martinez said.

Martinez “I’m looking forward to getting to work.”

Martinez said both Jacobson and Beatty had called to congratulate her on the win.

Jacobson was running for anoth-

er term after ousting Beatty in the April 2013 election.

Beatty finished dead last Tuesday, even though half of his opponents had legal entanJohn glements in the run-up Jacobsen to Election Day. Shortly after taking office, Jacobson pleaded guilty in July 2013 to a reduced misdemeanor charge of attempted possession of a controlled substance as part of a plea deal. In

March 2016, Jacobson was arrested again on crack-cocaine and firearms charges. Those charges were pending when voters went to the ballot box Tuesday.

For much of the campaign, Mogan, a Lake in the Hills police officer, also had legal troubles. In mid-March, a Wisconsin district attorney decided not to file criminal charges against Mogan in connection with a fatal crash in December after a blood test taken hours after the crash found no evidence of alcohol in Mogan’s system.

McHENRY TOWNSHIP

Ruzanski likely unseats Republican candidates win Mulcahy for top spot 4 trustee seats, clerk post

By HANNAH PROKOP

hprokop@shawmedia.com LAKE IN THE HILLS – Lake in the Hills Trustee Russ Ruzanski likely will take Village President Paul Mulcahy’s seat.

Ruzanski received 807 votes and Mulcahy received 489, according to preliminary results.

There were 1,296 people who voted in the race, and not all precincts had Russ been reported by press Ruzanski time.

“I’m going to roll my sleeves up and pursue the things I promised people I would do,” Ruzanski said Tuesday night.

Ruzanski has been a Lake in the Hills trustee since 2011. Before then, he served on the Planning and Zoning Commission for two years and the Business Relations Committee for four years, leading it for two.

As president, Ruzanski said he’s looking forward to improving community

development in the village and working to balance the budget without transferring funds between accounts.

One of his first actions also will be to select a person to fill his spot on the Lake in the Hills Village Board. Throughout his campaign, Ruzanski emphasized having more diversity on the board.

“I feel very, very good about it, and I want to thank everyone that’s been a part of my team,” Ruzanski said. “Many Paul people have shared their Mulcahy thoughts, and especially their prayers, and that means an awful lot to me.”

Mulcahy has been the village president since 2013, and before that had a history as a trustee on the board and a member of the Planning and Zoning Commission. Part of what prompted Ruzanski to run for the spot was when Mulcahy was charged with domestic battery in November.

Mulcahy could not immediately be reached for comment.

kcraver@shawmedia.com JOHNSBURG – A schism in the McHenry Township Republican Party between GOP newcomers and incumbents who decided to leave the party and run as independents could mean an acrimonious four years, based on the results of Tuesday’s election.

Republican candidates beat incumbents for all four trustee seats and the office of township clerk, according to unofficial results.

But independents – who had been Republicans until they shed the label because of a decision on how to caucus the party’s candidates – are likely to hold the offices of supervisor and highway commissioner.

However, Democratic candidates looking to take advantage of the infighting failed to do so.

Incumbent Supervisor Craig Adams beat Republican Steve Verr by 85 votes Tuesday evening.

Likewise, incumbent Highway Commissioner James Condon beat

GOP challenger Steve Koerber by 137 votes.

Republican Dan Aylward handily won the office of township clerk – he was far ahead of both independent candidate Marsha Nelson and Democratic challenger Judith Gottlieb.

The GOP trustee slate of Bob Anderson, Mike Rakestraw, Bill Cunningham and Stan Wojewski beat eight other challengers – four independents and four Democrats.

Incumbent independents Neal Schepler, Gary Barla and Craig Wallace lost, as did independent Sue Draffkorn.

The Democratic slate of Mary Shine, Sue Miller, Robert Beltran and Luis Aguilar also was defeated.

The incumbent Republicans resigned from the party after a majority of precinct committee members voted to make the caucus votes weighted.

Incumbent Assessor Mary Mahady – one of the few Democrats to hold elected office in GOP-dominated McHenry County – ran unopposed.

Incumbent, watchdog 3 new members to take elected to 2 open seats seats; president to stay

By KEVIN P. CRAVER

kcraver@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – Voters gave McHenry County College a split decision by re-electing the incumbent vice chairwoman as well as a challenger who ran on a platform of fiscal reform.

Incumbent Linda Liddell won a six-year term, but so did Diane Evertsen, a former McHenry County Board member who wants to cut spending, reduce the college’s property tax levy and add another skeptical voice to the seven-member Board of Trustees. Although her running mate fell short, she beat three other candidates with ties to the college.

Even though the McHenry County Clerk’s Office still was counting votes late Tuesday, long after other counties already had reported, Evertsen and Liddell were far ahead of the other three candidates, according to unofficial totals.

Thomas Allen, a retired MCC teacher, was in third, and David Schenk, who ran with Evertsen in hopes of capturing a majority of fiscal conservatives with current Trustees Chris Jenner and Karen Tirio, came in fourth. Candidate George Lowe, a former trustee, came in last.

Incumbent Cynthia Kisser did not seek re-election.

‘‘

We have issues we have no control over, one of which is the declining population in Illinois, and certainly McHenry County.

We have to look realistically at how to keep financially viable with declining enrollment.”

Diane Evertsen, former McHenry County Board member

who also served on the Woodland School District 50 Board, said that she will fight to rein in spending and question projects that will expand the college while enrollment at schools countywide is dropping.

“We have issues we have no control over, one of which is the declining population in Illinois, and certainly McHenry County. We have to look realistically at how to keep financially viable with declining enrollment,” Evertsen said.

MARENGO – Marengo will see new leadership for the next four years after voters decided to elect John Koziol to the position of mayor, according to unofficial voting results Tuesday.

“I am humbled and proud that the citizens put faith in me,” Koziol John Koziol said. “I will do my best to stand up for everything I said I would get accomplished and turn things around.”

WOODSTOCK – New school board elects largely are open to the idea of consolidation as long as students’ well-being is put first.

Woodstock School District 200 Board President Carl Gilmore will remain on the board and will be joined

by John Parisi, Jacob Homuth and Bruce Farris, according to unofficial election results Tuesday.

Ten candidates ran for four open seats on the District 200 board this cycle.

Hot-button issues included property taxes and school consolidations.

Woodstock school officials are considering consolidations to save money, but candidates differed on the issue.

The election was made more complicated because of the way the townships are restricted.

No more than three people from Dorr Township could be elected,

tion cycle – incumbent Don Lockhart, successor Koziol and challenger John Ariant.

Koziol won with a total of 479 votes.

Runner-up Lockhart followed with 391, and Ariant came in with 230 votes.

The 1st and 4th Wards also were up for grabs.

As of late Tuesday, incumbent Nicole DeBoer and challenger Raymond Knake were separated by only two votes, with DeBoer at 161 and Knake at 159.

First Ward Alderman Dennis Hammortree took a small lead over challenger James Regelin with 130 votes to Regelin’s 114.

– Brittany Keeperman

and seven candidates from the township ran, including incumbents William Nattress and Gilmore, as well as John Parisi, Barbara Gessert, Karen Kockler, Bruce Farris and Jill Ferrarini.

No more than one person from Greenwood Township could be elected, and two candidates from the township, Suzann Schroeder and Jacob Homuth, ran.

As of late Tuesday, Parisi had the highest number of votes at 1,932.

Parisi is a member of the district’s Facilities Review Committee, which is in charge of exploring and drafting options for the board to consider regarding school consolation proposals.

Gilmore followed with 1,562 votes.

Farris took the third and final Dorr Township slot with 1,536 votes.

Homuth, a probation officer, will take the fourth open seat. He had 1,537 votes as of late Tuesday.

BRIEF John Koziol unseats Don Lockhart as Marengo mayor

By BRITTANY KEEPERMAN

bkeeperman@shawmedia.com

CRYSTAL LAKE – The promise of lower property taxes didn’t resonate with voters in Community High School District 155.

Voters were poised to elect a slate of three union-backed candidates and an incumbent Tuesday to serve on the District 155 board in a nine-way race for four spots.

The union slate came out to an early lead over the “cut taxes” slate at the ballot box, according to unofficial results.

With the support of the District 155 Education Association, candidates Ron Ludwig (6,036 votes), Nicole Pavoris (5,914 votes) and Jason Blake (5,408 votes) were in the lead Tuesday night as the McHenry County Clerk’s Office tallied up the votes, according to unofficial returns. Incumbent Dave

Secrest (4,915 votes) was sitting in fourth place.

The competing “cut taxes” slate – Donna Kurtz (4,857), John Pletz (3,442 votes), Scott Vetter (3,404) and Raphael Kamner (2,852 votes) – trailed. Ann Somers, the other incumbent in the nine-way race for four seats on the board, had the fewest votes with 2,612 as of 11:40 p.m. Tuesday.

Devin Hester, president of the District 155 Education Association, said the “early numbers look good” for the union’s candidates, but noted that not all of the votes had been counted.

The district oversees Crystal Lake Central, Crystal Lake South, Prairie Ridge and Cary-Grove high schools. It also is responsible for the alternative programs at the Haber Oaks campus in Cary. All told, the district serves 6,500 students taught by 376 teachers with an annual budget of about $97 million.

Crystal Lake City Council incumbents sail to easy victory

CRYSTAL LAKE – Three incumbent City Council members won four more years from voters Tuesday evening, according to unofficial totals.

Voters re-elected incumbents Cameron Hubbard, Ralph Dawson and Haig Haleblian, all of whom leaped out ahead of challengers Sally Munn and Stefano Liparoto with the first posting of returns.

Munn was almost 600 votes behind Haleblian as of Tuesday evening, with Liparoto coming in last, according to unofficial totals. The McHenry County Clerk’s Office still was counting votes into Tuesday night, long after other counties had posted their results. Haleblian won election to a full term – he was appointed last year to fill out the remaining term of former council member Jeff Thorsen after he was elected to the McHenry County Board in 2016. Hubbard won his second term – like Haleblian, he was appointed to fill a vacancy made when a council member won a County Board seat.

Dawson has been a council member for 18 years. Voters also re-elected City Clerk Nick Kachiroubas, who ran unopposed.

2 incumbents likely to lose seats on Algonquin Village Board

ALGONQUIN – Two newcomers and one incumbent won seats on the Algonquin Village Board, according to preliminary results. Six candidates were running for three seats in Tuesday’s election. Algonquin trustees are elected by voters from McHenry and Kane counties.

Challenger Laura Brehmer took the lead with 965 votes, followed by incumbent Trustee Jerry Glogowski with 877 votes and challenger Janis Jasper with 870 votes. Longtime Trustees Bob Smith and Brian Dianis followed close behind with 809 and 770 votes, respectively. Challenger Greg Ligman received 728 votes.

Preliminary results showed there were 5,019 total votes for the race.

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

Brehmer and Jasper have emphasized the need for residents to have a voice after the Longmeadow project was approved with some disapproval.

Glogowski has said he’d like to continue to make downtown a destination.

McHenry School District 15 Board fills six of its seven seats

McHENRY – The McHenry School District 15 Board will have a few new faces after six of the seven seats were filled Tuesday. Because of previous resignations, all but one of the seven seats on the board were up for election this year – four four-year terms and two two-year, unexpired terms. Seven candidates – Amanda Geyer, Kimberly Qualls, Paul Santopadre, Erik John Sivertsen, Hugo J. Mercado, Kevin Christopher McConville and Mark Jaeger – were up for four-year terms. Candidates Patrick D. Miller, Jan Riemann, Janet M. Szymkowiak and Matthew Stauner ran for two-year terms.

Miller led with 3,326 total votes, followed by Stauner with 2,419 votes, according to unofficial results. Rieman received 2,406 votes, and Szymkowiak had 2,365. Geyer led with 3,512 votes, followed by Qualls at 3,300, Jaeger with 3,253 votes, Sivertsen with 2,646 votes, Santopadre with 2,581 votes, McConville with 2,291 votes, and Mercado with 2,003 votes, according to unofficial results. District 15 operates eight elementary and middle schools, which include all or parts of McHenry, McCullom Lake, Holiday Hills, Lakemoor and Bull Valley.

Lakewood Tax-Fighter Party member Paul Serwatka wins

LAKEWOOD – Paul Serwatka, a member of the Lakewood Tax-Fighter Party, will take the helm as village president.

Paul Serwatka had 588 votes, or about 70 percent of the votes, according to unofficial results Tuesday night. Kenneth Santowski, a write-in candidate, had about 246 votes, or about 29 percent of votes. Serwatka ran on the Lakewood Tax-Fighter Party a slate with three trustee candidates in an effort to gain a majority on the Village Board to lower the village’s property tax levy. Serwatka has not taken a village paid salary since he was elected two years ago.

Santowski was a former trustee who originally was on the ballot but withdrew from the race and resigned from his board seat in December. He jumped back into the race last month as a write-in.

He previously said he resigned after receiving an anonymous, viable threat against his family, but his family and friends encouraged him to get back in the running as a write-in candidate.

3 incumbents win school District 156 board race

By NATE LINHART

nlinhart@shawmedia.com McHENRY – Three incumbents and one newcomer won four open seats on the McHenry High School District 156 Board, according to unofficial results Tuesday night.

Newcomer Pat Arnold won 3,973 votes, incumbent Ronald Fischer won 3,284 votes, incumbent Gary Kinshofer won 2,616 votes and incumbent Timothy Hying won 2,601 votes, according to unofficial results.

The other three candidates vying for the open seats were Arne Waltmire, Giuseppe Veneziano and incumbent Michael Lovitsch.

The winners – Arnold, Fischer, Kinshofer and Hying – each will serve four-year terms.

Arnold is involved with the McHenry Baseball Association as the director of sponsorships and fundraising and

also is an assistant den leader for Cub Scout Pack 131 in McHenry.

“I look forward to serving my community and look forward to hitting the ground running,” Arnold said.

Fischer, an incumbent, has been on the board the past four years with Kinshofer and Hying, who also won the election, according to unofficial results.

“I want to thank all of the people who came out to vote today. I truly appreciate your confidence in me by re-electing me to a seat on the McHenry Community High School District 156 Board,” Fischer said.

The four winners will join Steve Bellmore, Dawn Bremer and Timothy Byers on the board.

District 156 runs McHenry High School’s East and West campuses. The district includes all or parts of McHenry, McCullom Lake, Holiday Hills, Bull Valley and Lakemoor.

Scarpino, Miller, McNicholas lead for seats on D-300 board

By JORDYN REILAND

jreiland@shawmedia.com ALGONQUIN – Two newcomers likely will join the Community Unit School District 300 Board.

Incumbents Kathleen Burley and Anne Miller, both of Algonquin, faced challengers Nicole Breyer of Algonquin, David J. Scarpino of Hampshire, Mary McNicholas of West Dundee and Leslie LaMarca of Pingree Grove.

Miller led with 3,218 votes, followed

by Scarpino with 3,199 votes, then McNicholas with 3,126 votes, LaMarca with 2,663 votes, Burley with 2,585 votes and Beyer with 1,958 votes, according to unofficial results Tuesday night.

The three winners will serve fouryear terms. The district serves parts of McHenry, DeKalb, Kane and Cook counties.

Miller, 58, will serve her sixth term on the board after first being elected in 1997. She said the board needs to be “strong stewards” for financial accountability as increased property

assessments cause taxes to rise, according to her Northwest Herald’s candidate questionnaire.

Scarpino has more than 40 years of public school service, including his work as associate superintendent in District 300 from 2004 to 2010, where he supervised the day-to-day operations of the district. He then worked as principal of Hampshire Elementary School from 2010 to 2015. He said he does not support school building consolidation in the near future because student enrollment and housing in the district is increasing, according to his questionnaire.

McNicholas, 20, is a recent graduate of Dundee-Crown High School, where she served on the D-300 School Board Legislative Committee. McNicholas said she believes the district already is doing what it can and should to place the smallest possible tax burden on homeowners.

She said the priority of the district and school board should be to provide the best educational programs at the most efficient property tax rate.

Shaw Media CEO reflects on legacy before retiring

BY CHRISTOPHER HEIMERMAN cheimerman@shawmedia.com

DIXON – It was frigid. Hands numbed to the cold, hours before the sun rose. Yet there was Tom Shaw and one of his closest friends, Jeff Shoaf, a kid brother of sorts, trapping muskrats in the Rock River.

Tom was in high school, and the trapping season ran from early November until the river froze. He raked in about $200 a week – a year’s worth of spending for a teenager in the late 1950s.

He had to figure out different ways to trap, learned that if you didn’t pull your traps soon enough, the river would freeze, and those $1.50-a-pop contraptions would be lost come the thaw.

Shaw cited that “Tom Sawyer” childhood as a key to his success. It taught him independence and the gratification of going his own way, and touched off a spirit of enterprise.

Perhaps most importantly, he and Jeff grew a bond.

More than five decades later, the relationships he’s built are the cornerstone of Shaw’s legacy.

Toward the end of May, the 69-yearold will retire as chief executive officer of Shaw Media, a name that, in some iteration, has belonged to his family since 1851, when his great-great-grandfather, Benjamin Flower Shaw, published the first Dixon Telegraph.

Recently, utmost emphasis has been placed on looking at success through employees’ eyes, ensuring success through their happiness and fulfillment and, as a result, contributions to society.

“We enjoy a great reputation, from outsiders who aren’t trying to sell us something,” Shaw said. “A big part of what I’ve accomplished, if there’s a legacy, is that, for Shaw to be legendary because of the commitment to the excellence of our people.”

His ascension

Tall for his age at 13, Shaw’s media career began when he passed for a 16-year-old and was hired by Dixon Publishing Co. He graduated from Dixon High School in 1966 and got his bachelor’s degree in business administration in 1970 from Colorado College in Colorado Springs, then considered the Harvard of the West.

He sold subscriptions to the Colorado Springs Gazette between his junior and senior years. Seeing the start of an arc, the family put him into circulation

Are you voting in today’s election?

73% Yes

No

Shaw Media CEO Tom Shaw will retire near the end of May. at the Telegraph.

He quickly moved up to accounting but hit a wall within six months.

“I just wasn’t wired for that sort of tedium,” he said.

Long before “community journalism” became an industry buzzword, he bent then-General Manager Arthur Lund’s ear about community events that weren’t being promoted. No one was winning there.

“He told me to go do it. It was also to get me off his back,” he said with a smile.

A star was born

Shaw advanced to Dixon Telegraph general manager in 1975, a title he held until 1986. He was chief operations officer of Shaw Newspapers from 1986 to 1993, and was named president and chief executive officer in 1993.

Times have changed with the increasing focus on digital content.

Names have changed, too, to reflect that trend, with Shaw Newspapers becoming Shaw Media.

“The challenges just don’t stop, and we’re trying to figure out the model for our business to be viable,” he said. “I’ve just always had a belief that the people in our company will figure things out.

They always have, and we have the right people to continue that tradition.”

Rare in this business, the Shaw company remains a family operation.

His sons, J. Tom and Peter, are general manager of Shaw Media’s Suburban group and corporate strategy coordinator, respectively. Peter also is a member of Sauk Valley Media’s editorial board.

Shaw Media file photo

His other son, Ben, was Shaw Media’s chief digital officer before moving to Germany in 2014, where he is global advisory director for World Association of Newspapers and News Publishers.

His partner

He and his wife, Tammy, have six children and have fostered about 20 kids, most of them infants facing significant distress.

Tammy admitted she’s often taken a moment to admire her husband, particularly the way he doesn’t change between the office and home.

“He is exactly what you see,” she said. “He’s my hero. He’s very compassionate about what he believes in, to the point of always being meticulous – as a father, he knew everything about his children. As a husband, he’s still my boyfriend. As a churchgoer, he’s still a Bible-reader who wants answers.”

He’s survived colon cancer and had his knees replaced in the past few years, but still, she’s looking forward to challenging him in his retirement.

“I’m an obsessive kayaker, and most of my friends have fallen away because I’m a little bit rabid about it,” she said.

“Even though he’s had two knees replaced, he’s eager to be my kayak partner. He’s giving me the best gift ever, that he’s going to try to kayak with me.”

Shaw, a devout Christian, has been on a lifelong faith walk and doesn’t have a bucket list, per se.

“When you just go about your business, opportunities present them-

McHENRY – McHenry’s curbside collection started Monday for residents looking to clean up their yards.

Residents must either use two-ply, Kraft paper bags or garbage cans that do not exceed 33 gallons in size with a maximum weight of 50 pounds a container. Containers need to be marked with a large “X” and must have a prepaid yard waste sticker on each bag or can.

Plastic bags are not permitted.

McHenry residents also can drop off their yard waste starting from 7 a.m. to noon Saturday at Knox Park, 330 Knox Drive, McHenry. There is no charge to McHenry residents for this service, but vehicles used to move the material need to display a current city vehicle sticker.

As with curbside collection, yard waste either can be in two-ply, Kraft paper bags or garbage cans at drop-off.

Plastic bags are allowed at the drop-off

if they are not tied and are taken home with the resident.

Acceptable materials for curbside collection and drop-off include grass clippings, leaves, brush, garden plants, bark pieces and weeds. Materials that are not allowed include tree trunks, fence posts, railroad ties, firewood, rocks and branches larger than 3 inches in diameter.

In addition, the city will start its spring hydrant flushing April 10, which will continue for a two-week period until April 21. In case of a delay, the flushing operation is expected to be completed April 28.

Water may become discolored during the flushing period. If this occurs, the McHenry Public Works Department advises residents to run their cold tap water for a few minutes until the water clears. If the problem is not fixed, wait about an hour and try again.

For information, call the Public Works Department at 815-363-2186.

• RETIRING

Continued from page A10 selves,” he said.

Approaching retirement has presented another challenge of sorts.

“That part’s been a little bit harder than I thought – to step out of something that’s been such a huge part of my life,” he said.

Their youngest daughter, Kylie, 17, has another year to go at Dixon High, so the family will be around at least another year, during which Shaw will serve on the company’s board of directors.

That’s not to say he’s not ready to let go.

“Your emotional strength has layers,” Shaw said. “Over the past couple of years, I’ve had those layers peeled Shaw Media file photo back. I find myself more vulnerable Then-California Gov. Ronald Reagan speaks with Tom Shaw (middle) and his brother, Ben, emotionally. That’s when you know in 1975 in Chicago. Tom’s grandfather, Ben Shaw, was so impressed with the president you’re ready to step away.”

that he suggested an editorial urging him to run for president.

‘I always felt like Shaw was home’

About four years ago, Shaw named John Rung as Shaw Media’s president; he will be named CEO when Shaw retires.

Rung is a testament to Shaw’s mission statement: Foster great workers in an environment driven by employees’ vision.

Shaw has seen many employees leave then return; it’s a source of pride.

On two occasions, for instance, Rung

left for greener pastures in 1995 and 2000, only to return – the last time as publisher of the company’s flagship newspaper, the Northwest Herald in Crystal Lake.

“This was a long-term investment, because I saw value in John’s leadership, his ability to develop people and make things happen,” Shaw said.

“I always felt like Shaw was home,” Rung said. “There’s a freedom here – you don’t feel like you’re looking over

your shoulder all the time. It’s about the work, and it’s a supportive, collaborative culture.

“That’s always been his mentality: If you have the right people, even when the industry changes, you’ll always find a way.”

Sam R. Fisher, Sauk Valley Media’s publisher, has known Shaw most of his professional life, since 1983, when the company bought Free Press Newspaper Group, for which Fisher worked.

It owned publications in Crystal Lake, Carpentersville and Elgin.

“I figured, ‘I won’t be here long,’ ” Fisher said. “I didn’t know anybody.

The reason I’m still here is because of him.

“I’ve had other opportunities, but there’s no other newspaper company in the country like this one. Tom always had a vision, and he created a culture where it doesn’t feel like a job.”

It’s always been his job to do, however. When Fisher was about to spend $500,000 on a printing press in Princeton, he asked Shaw for a second opinion.

“He said, ‘No, I’m sure you’ve done your research and you’re making the right decision,’ ” Fisher said.

“He always gives you the latitude to do your job.”

Tom and Tammy returned Tuesday from a 10-day vacation. Even on the brink of retirement, he was exhilarated to learn what he’d missed.

“I’m just overwhelmed by the depth and breadth of information we have,” he said. “Our business model is challenged, but I sit back and wonder whether communities realize how valuable this is, and if we weren’t here, what would the community be like.

“If you have a newspaper that won’t take stands and won’t speak out on issues, or if there isn’t an effective newspaper, the quality of the community, its moral compass and economic viability, they won’t be as good as they should be.”

Networking is about more than dinner We all need to get more out of networking than a barbecued meatball. With a bit of thought, planning and working through the below ideas, I bet we all can be more successful networkers.

1. Let’s remember first why we are at each networking event. To eat dinner? Yes, it is true there are a lot of great events with yummies galore, but that is not why any of us are in attendance. We are at an event to meet others looking for our particular product or service.

Networking events are the best way to initiate the development of a business relationship, as well as keep one.

2. Come prepared. It’s important to bring business cards, but more important to have a plan on how to make the event work for our organization. Plan to meet at least six people not previously known. Look for people who look interesting or whose nametag screams “customer.”

We must learn to walk right up and introduce ourselves. Remember our resolve to make networking work. We can’t develop business relationships by sitting in the corner.

After a brief time with small talk, we then introduce our organization,

CHAMBER NEWS Kay Rial Bates inviting the new acquaintance to do the same. Catch this please, then ask the new acquaintance what types of companies he or she is hoping to meet. Then we should share what connections we are hoping to make at the event. Work for each other; be WING people. If we know someone in the room who could be a good connection for the new acquaintance, then we should facilitate an introduction. The new acquaintance will most likely do the same for us.

3. Lastly, create a memory. Not a bad idea to put our Twitter handle or Facebook page on our nametag, inviting our new acquaintance to “like” us.

Just a couple of tips, but most importantly, get out and network. It changes lives and businesses.

On April 26, the Chamber will feature a luncheon on “How to Manage Time by Managing Ourselves.”

Conducted by business coach Steve Brainerd, this luncheon will answer the question “What a hectic day …

I didn’t get anything done! Why?” To advance confidently toward our goals, we need to manage our time well. Some of the barriers to time management include poor planning, lack of clarity, weak self-discipline and distractions.

Managing our time well takes resolve, clear goals, strategy, planning and consistent follow-through.

Brainerd will help us as we learn to be better managers of our time.

RETINAL MIGRAINE Approximately one in every 200 people who get migraines will have a “retinal migraine,” which is different from a migraine headache or a migraine with aura. Otherwise called an “ophthalmic migraine,” “visual migraine,’’ or an “ocular migraine,” a retinal migraine affects vision in only one eye and causes temporary blindness or visual problems that last up to an hour, followed by a return to normal vision. A retinal migraine is caused by a sudden narrowing of blood vessels and reduced blood flow to the eye, which might be brought on by bending over, dehydration, exercise, excessive heat, low blood pressure, stress, smoking, or birth-control pills. Once the eye doctor makes a diagnosis, treatment varies in accordance with the cause.

P.S. Retinal migraine carries a small risk that the sudden reduction in blood flow to the eye may damage the retina and blood vessels of the eye.

The staff at CRYSTAL LAKE OPHTALMOLOGY offers attentive, thorough eye exams in a comfortable, professional environment. Our services go beyond writing a prescription. The comprehensive eye exams we conduct not only determine our patients need for vision correction but offer early detection and treatment of eye diseases. To schedule an appointment, please call 815-455-4222. We are located at 280 - A Memorial Court.

MARENGO – A local man who won a $50,000 Powerball prize plans to share the money with his family.

Scott Husfeldt, a lifelong Marengo resident, won the prize when his Quick Pick lottery ticket matched four numbers plus the Powerball number in the Feb. 15 drawing. The winning numbers were 5-28-33-38-42, and the Powerball number was 19, according to a news release.

Husfeldt bought his ticket at Express Lane, 308 E. Grant Highway, in Marengo.

The next day, he checked the Powerball numbers in the newspaper.

“I couldn’t believe it when I saw that my numbers matched, so I went back to the store to double-check my ticket,” Husfeldt said in a statement.

Still not convinced, Husfeldt then looked up the winning numbers on the Illinois Lottery website. The win is starting to sink in, he said.

“I play Powerball once in a while, and I always buy a ticket when the jackpot is really high,” Husfeldt said.

Express Lane received a $500 bonus, 1 percent of the prize money, for

selling a winning ticket, according to the release.

HOROSCOPE

By EUGENIA LAST

Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – Make more time to enjoy your friends and take better care of yourself and the people who are important to you. Make lifestyle changes that will help your day-to-day routine run smoothly, and put greater emphasis on living in the moment instead of just managing to get through the hours.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Keep an open mind and learn all you can. The information you pick up will encourage you to make smart, well-thoughtout changes instead of acting on impulse.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Don’t fold under emotional pressure or manipulation. You must watch for signs of excess or inconsistency when

working with others. Good fortune will come from you using common sense.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Don’t divulge personal information. Someone will try to make you look bad. Rely on experience to keep from making certain mistakes when dealing with business and personal partnerships.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Be cautious if someone from your past contacts you. Ulterior motives are present, regardless of the compliments and kindness offered you. Don’t offer to pay for others or make a donation.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Controversy will lead to an argument. Have your facts and figures ready, or you may end up having to rethink your plans.

Going over your budget will not be acceptable.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Someone’s personal information will be withheld from you. Don’t feel the need to make a decision regarding religion, philosophy or your personal beliefs in order to fit in. A day trip or retreat will offer clarity.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Attending a reunion or joining forces with someone you have worked with in the past should be carried out carefully.

Don’t compromise your current position in order to help out a friend.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Participate in events, retreats and courses that engage you. Doing something special with a loved one will bring you closer together. A lifestyle change will have good results.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Do something that will challenge you, but not cost you emo-

tionally, mentally or financially. An impulsive but frugal move will put you in a good position.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – If you look at your past, you’ll discover something that will help solve a problem you are facing. Don’t argue with someone; walk away and do your own thing.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Take action if you think someone has been tampering with your money or possessions or meddling in pending legal matters. If you stay one step ahead, you will avoid loss.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Use your intelligence to wade your way through financial or medical problems. It’s your responsibility to see matters through to the end. Don’t rely on anyone but yourself.

Court: 1964 law bans LGBT discrimination

By MICHAEL TARM The Associated Press

CHICAGO – A federal appeals court ruled for the first time Tuesday that the 1964 Civil Rights Act protects LGBT employees from workplace discrimination, setting up a likely battle before the Supreme Court as gay rights advocates push to broaden the scope of the 53-year-old law.

The 8-to-3 decision by the full 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Chicago comes just three weeks after a threejudge panel in Atlanta ruled the opposite, saying employers aren’t prohibited from discriminating against employees based on sexual orientation.

The 7th Circuit is considered relatively conservative and five of the eight judges in the majority were appointed

by Republican presidents, making the finding all the more notable.

The case stems from a lawsuit by Indiana teacher Kimberly Hively alleging that the Ivy Tech Community College in South Bend didn’t hire her full time because she is a lesbian.

In an opinion concurring with the majority, Judge Richard Posner wrote that changing norms call for a change in interpretation of the Civil Rights Act, which bars discrimination based on race, color, religion, national origin

Fed lawmakers: Hiring freeze could hurt Thomson Prison

THOMSON – U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin and U.S. Rep. Cheri Bustos have written a letter to the Department of Justice in an effort to keep a hiring freeze from affecting the Thomson Prison in northwestern Illinois.

Durbin and Bustos sent the letter Monday, saying that the freeze President Donald Trump ordered in January “has already forced the facility to postpone hiring a new class of incoming officers,” the Dixon Telegraph reported.

The lawmakers said that if the Justice Department doesn’t exempt the Bureau of Prisons from Trump’s hiring freeze, Thomson Prison’s goal of accepting inmates by the end of the year may be delayed.

The justice department has given the bureau a partial exemption, allowing it to

“I don’t see why firing a lesbian because she is in the subset of women who are lesbian should be thought any less a form of sex discrimination than firing a woman because she’s a woman,” wrote the judge, who was appointed by Republican Ronald Reagan.

The letter said there are actually a “significant” number of vacancies that existed before then that can’t be filled and no vacancies after Jan. 22 can be filled either because the actual staffing level itself hasn’t been determined, creating a de facto complete hiring freeze.

The letter, which also was written by U.S. Rep. David McKinley, R-WV, asked for a full exemption for the bureau, as has been granted to the FBI, another justice department agency, for national security and public safety reasons.

Court denies Rauner’s bid for a union contract appeal

SPRINGFIELD – The Illinois Supreme Court has declined a request to bypass a lower court and immediately take up Gov. Bruce Rauner’s case for imposing pay and working conditions on members of the state’s largest public employees’ union.

The Republican and the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees state council received notice Tuesday that the court wouldn’t accept a direct appeal over the validity of a state

ary, it revoked guidance on transgender students’ use of public school bathrooms, deferring to states.

Hively said after Tuesday’s ruling that she agreed to bring the case because she felt she was being “bullied.”

She told The Associated Press in a telephone interview that the time has come “to stop punishing people for being gay, being lesbian, being transgender.”

“This decision is game changer for lesbian and gay employees facing discrimination in the workplace and sends a clear message to employers: It is against the law to discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation,” said Greg Nevins, Employment Fairness Program Director for Lambda Legal, which brought the case on behalf of Hively.

The issue could very well land before the Supreme Court at some point. A GOP-majority House and Senate make it unlikely the Congress will amend the Civil Rights Act; Title VII is the section of the law dealing discrimination on the basis of sex. The Chicago ruling came on the anniversary of the assassination of civil rights icon Martin Luther King, whose marches against racism prompted Congress to pass the landmark law.

The debate in the Hively case revolved around the meaning of the word ‘sex’ in Title VII. Other courts have

concluded that Congress meant for the word to refer only to whether a worker was male or female. They said that it would be wrong to stretch the meaning of ‘sex’ in the statute to also include sexual orientation.

The majority of the 7th Circuit sided with a broader meaning.

“Any discomfort, disapproval, or job decision based on the fact that the complainant – woman or man – dresses differently, speaks differently, or dates or marries a same-sex partner, is a reaction purely and simply based on sex.

That means that it falls within Title VII’s prohibition against sex discrimination ...,” writes Judge Diane Wood, a President Bill Clinton appointee.

The dissenting opinion – written

by Judge Diane Sykes, a conservative who was on Trump’s list of possible Supreme Court appointees, said the majority were stretching the meaning of the law’s text.

“We are not authorized to infuse the text with a new or unconventional meaning or to update it to respond to changed social, economic, or political conditions.”

The dissent also alludes to the judicial philosophy of Trump’s high-court nominee, Neil Gorsuch, who advocates adhering largely to original legislative texts in deciding legal disputes.

labor ruling.

That ruling last fall found that protracted contract talks with AFSCME were at “impasse.” That means Rauner could impose his terms and the union could strike.

But the union sued. On appeal, the 4th District Appellate Court barred Rauner from taking action until it decides the merits of the case. That prompted Rauner’s appeal.

he could “drink and drive with impunity.”

The lawsuit said fellow officers protected him in the past.

The Chicago Tribune reported that U.S. District Judge Virginia Kendall on Friday found ample evidence Frugoli was treated differently in his traffic-related incidents than average citizens.

Judge OKs suit alleging ‘code of silence’ led to fatal crash

CHICAGO – A federal judge has given the go-ahead for a lawsuit alleging that a Chicago Police Department “code of silence” allowed a detective to escape punishment for drunken driving.

Off-duty detective Joseph Frugoli’s blood-alcohol content was more than four times the legal limit when his SUV plowed into a disabled vehicle in April 2009, killing two men.

Frugoli had escaped discipline despite being suspected of drunken driving twice before.

The lawsuit filed by the families of Andrew Cazares and Fausto Manzera allege a “code of silence” led Frugoli to believe

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS Coca-Cola features Warren 49th anniversary of the assassination of civil rights leader Martin Buffet on cans in China

OMAHA, Neb. – Coca-Cola is featuring a different kind of celebrity on its cans in China: Warren Buffett.

Although Buffett is admired and thought of as a folksy straight talker in the U.S., where Coke is based, employing an 86-year-old billionaire to sell sodas in the U.S. would be a tough sell for even the most savvy Madison Avenue marketing firm, even with Buffett’s voracious appetite for Cokes.

It’s a different story in China, where Cherry Coke went on sale for the first time last month. And on limited-edition cans sitting on store shelves in China is the beaming face of the Oracle of Omaha.

Business leaders in China tend to have an outsized following, in some cases greater than that of sports stars, said Shaun Rein, founder of the China Market Research Group.

And like in the U.S., Buffett also is seen as “a non-corrupt, downto-earth” kind of person in China, another selling point, Rein said.

Buffett is so well-known in China that when his Berkshire Hathaway began streaming its annual meeting online last year, it was translated into Mandarin Chinese.

Luther King Jr. More than 200 people gathered at Mississippi Boulevard Christian Church to hear guest speakers talk about the legacy of King, who was shot down by a sniper’s bullet at a Memphis hotel on April 4, 1968.

The Rev. Jesse Jackson and the Rev. William Barber talked about how King’s fight for economic and racial equality and social justice is far from over. A vocalist belted out a religious hymn and another song, “The Impossible Dream,” and attendees held hands in prayer.

Obama aide denies using intel to spy on Trump staff

By JULIE PACE

The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Susan Rice, Barack Obama’s national security adviser and the latest target for Donald Trump’s embattled defenders, firmly denied on Tuesday that she or other Obama officials used secret intelligence reports to spy on Trump associates for political purposes.

“Absolutely false,” Rice said.

The White House has seized on the idea that the Obama administration improperly surveilled the Republican during and after the November election – an accusation Democrats say is just another red herring thrown out to distract attention from investigations of Russian interference in the campaign on behalf of Trump.

Presidential spokesman Sean Spicer cast Rice’s handling of intelligence in the waning days of Obama’s term as suspicious, although he did not detail what he found to be inappropriate.

“The more we find out about this, the more we learn there was something there,” Spicer said.

A U.S. official said that Rice asked spy agencies to give her the names of Trump associates who surfaced in intelligence reports she was regularly briefed on. Rice’s official role would have given her the ability to make those requests for national security purposes.

Rice, in an interview with MSNBC, acknowledged that she sometimes asked for the names of Americans referenced in reports. She would not say whether she saw intelligence related to Trump associates or whether she asked for their identities, though she did say that reports related to Russia increased in the final months of the presidential election.

The Trump White House has been particularly incensed that intercepted conversations between national security adviser Michael Flynn and Rus-

Then-National Security Adviser Susan Rice is seen July 7 on the South Lawn of the White House in Washington, D.C. Rice said it’s “absolutely false” that the previous administration used intelligence about President Donald Trump’s associates for political purposes. sia’s ambassador to the U.S. surfaced in news reports before the inauguration. Flynn was fired after it became clear that he misled Vice President Mike Pence and others about the content of those discussions.

Rice denied that she had leaked details about Flynn’s call, saying, “I leaked nothing to nobody.”

The U.S. official said Rice’s Trump-related requests were discovered as part of a National Security Council review of the government’s policy on “unmasking” – the intelligence community’s term for revealing Americans’ identities that would otherwise be hidden in classified reports. The review was prompted by a belief that there were inefficiencies in the current procedures and concerns over a policy change made in the closing days of the Obama administration, said the official, who insisted on anonymity in order to disclose the sensitive information.

In January, the Justice Department and intelligence officials agreed on new rules giving more U.S. agencies access to raw information picked up abroad by the National Security Agency. Privacy advocates have raised concerns that the new rules – which are yet to be fully implemented – would lead to the information being

shared too broadly.

The unmasking review was led by Ezra Cohen-Watnick, the NSC’s senior director of intelligence. Cohen-Watnick has clashed with the CIA and was on the verge of being moved out of his job until Trump political advisers Steve Bannon and Jared Kushner stepped in to keep him in the role.

Cohen-Watnick raised his findings about Rice with the White House counsel’s office, the official said. The counsel’s office ordered him to stand down because the lawyers did not want the White House to be running an independent investigation into the prior administration.

Still, the White House has appeared to find other ways to promote the idea that Obama officials were conducting improper surveillance of Trump’s team.

In mid-March, House intelligence committee chairman Devin Nunes abruptly announced he had seen “troubling” information about spy agencies widely spreading the identities of Trump associates. The president’s advisers quickly embraced Nunes’ revelations, but did not acknowledge at the time that the congressman had viewed the information at the White House with the help of White House officials.

Some concerned with retreat on police reforms

By ERRIN HAINES WHACK and SADIE GURMAN The Associated Press

Civil rights groups reacted with alarm Tuesday, while law enforcement organizations expressed relief, after the Trump administration signaled it may back out of federal agreements that compel several police departments around the U.S. to curb racial bias and excessive force.

In a memo made public this week, Attorney General Jeff Sessions ordered a review of all Justice Department consent decrees that force police departments to overhaul their practices, saying, “It is not the responsibility of the federal government to manage non-federal law enforcement agencies.”

Consent decrees, which are enforceable by the courts, were put in place by the Obama Justice Department in such racially fraught cities as Cleveland and Ferguson, Missouri. A decree worked out under the Obama administration is awaiting approval in Baltimore, which erupted in riots in 2015 over the death of Freddie Gray in police custody. And an agreement is being negotiated in Chicago.

NAACP President Cornell Brooks called the move by the Trump Justice

Members of the Baltimore Police Department patrol June 23 near the intersection of North and Pennsylvania avenues, the site of unrest after Freddie Gray’s funeral, in Baltimore. On Monday, the Department of Justice signaled it may abandon reform efforts in favor of cracking down on violent crime.

Department “somewhere between chilling and alarming.”

“Consent decrees are the means by which you provide a hedge of protection, civil rights and civil liberties,” Brooks said. “Why would our attorney general upend and undo that? This review and potential reversal represents a potentially catastrophic, life-or-death

consequence for cities where citizens feel like they’re under siege.”

But James Pasco, executive director of the Fraternal Order of Police, welcomed Sessions’ memo as “gratifying.”

“If a consent decree is warranted, a consent decree should be imposed,” Pasco said. “But in a lot of places, decrees are punitive in nature and do

He complained that consent decrees can make police officers look like villains, when “the vast majority of police officers are performing heroically every day.”

The Sessions memo represents a dramatic break with the Obama administration, which saw the federal government as essential to holding local police departments accountable for unconstitutional practices. Consent decrees have been used to force departments to overhaul training on the use of deadly force and to root out mistreatment of blacks and Hispanics.

President Donald Trump has taken an emphatic pro-police, law-and-order stand. And in signaling a possible retreat from consent decrees, Sessions advanced what has been dubbed the “Ferguson effect” – the unproven theory that heavy scrutiny of police has made them less aggressive, leading to a spike in crime in cities such as Chicago.

“The misdeeds of a few bad actors should not impugn or undermine the legitimate and honorable work that law enforcement officers and agencies perform in keeping American communities safe,” Sessions wrote in the memo dated Friday.

cluding President Donald Trump, who denounced it as a “heinous” act that “cannot be ignored by the civilized world.”

The U.N. Security Council scheduled an emergency meeting for Wednesday in response to the strike, which came on the eve of a major international donors’ conference in Brussels on the future of Syria and the region.

In a statement, Trump also blamed former President Barack Obama for “weakness” in failing to respond aggressively after the 2013 attack.

“These heinous actions by the Bashar al-Assad regime are a consequence of the past administration’s weakness and irresolution,” Trump said. “Presi-

dent Obama said in 2012 that he would establish a ‘red line’ against the use of chemical weapons and then did nothing.

The United States stands with our allies across the globe to condemn this intolerable attack.”

Trump left it to his top diplomat, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, to assign at least some blame to Russia and Iran, Assad’s most powerful allies. Tillerson called on both countries to use their influence over Assad to prevent future chemical weapons attacks, and noted Russia’s and Iran’s roles in helping broker a cease-fire through diplomatic talks in the Kazakh capital, Astana.

BEIRUT – A chemical weapons attack in an opposition-held town in northern Syria killed dozens of people on Tuesday, leaving residents gasping for breath and convulsing in the streets and overcrowded hospitals. The Trump administration blamed the Syrian government for the attack, one of the deadliest in years, and said Syria’s patrons, Russia and Iran, bore “great moral responsibility” for the deaths.

The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said at least 58 people died, including 11 children, in the early morning attack in the town of Khan Sheikhoun, which witnesses said was carried out by Sukhoi jets operated by the Russian and Syrian governments.

Videos from the scene showed volunteer medics using fire hoses to wash the chemicals from victims’ bodies. Haunting images of lifeless children piled in heaps reflected the magnitude of the attack, which was reminiscent of a 2013 chemical assault that left hundreds dead and was the worst in the country’s ruinous six-year civil war.

Tuesday’s attack drew swift condemnation from world leaders, in-

to the cease-fire negotiated in Astana, Russia and Iran also bear great moral responsibility for these deaths,” Tillerson said.

In a statement, the Syrian government “categorically rejected” claims that it was responsible, asserting that it does not possess chemical weapons, hasn’t used them in the past and will not use them in the future. It laid the blame squarely on the rebels, accusing them of fabricating the attack and trying to frame the Syrian government. The Russian Defense Ministry also denied any involvement Photos and video emerging from Khan Sheikhoun, located south of the provincial capital of Idlib, showed the limp bodies of children and adults. Some were struggling to breathe; others appeared to be foaming at the mouth.

The activist-run Assi Press published video of paramedics carrying victims, stripped down to their underwear and many appearing unresponsive, from the scene in pickup trucks.

It was not immediately clear whether all those killed died from suffocation or were struck by other airstrikes that occurred in the area around the same time.

It was the third claim of a chemical attack in just over a week in Syria.

Protecting the environment

Last week’s bankruptcy of Westinghouse Electric Co. is yet more evidence, if anyone needed any, that the economics of nuclear power are not good.

As with coal, nuclear energy can’t compete against cheap natural gas and ever-cheaper renewables.

Unlike coal, however, nuclear energy is a crucial tool in the fight against climate change. So the public subsidies that benefit the nuclear industry in the U.S. are justified, whereas efforts to prop up the coal industry are not.

And states are offering or proposing enormous subsidies. New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo wants to spend $500 million a year to keep three plants going; Illinois will pay $235 million a year to rescue two more. Nuclear plant owners in other states are looking for similar bailouts.

There is no getting around the costs to ratepayers of these handouts, and there’s no guarantee they will work. But they are worth trying as a way to keep nuclear in the energy mix as long as possible, and they are cheaper for the consumer than having nuclear plants shut down. There are 99 reactors in the U.S., and nuclear still provides one-fifth of America’s electric power. When nuclear plants close, their output is largely replaced with coal and natural gas.

That’s a backward step not only for climate but also for public health. In the 1980s, when the Tennessee Valley Authority temporarily closed two nuclear plants and replaced them with coal-fired power, pollution increased enough in some counties to lower babies’ average birth weight significantly, according to a new study. The right way to account for this cost, as well as for the damage that burning fossil fuels does to the atmosphere, is to put a price on greenhouse-gas emissions – in the form of a substantial carbon tax.

Until federal and state lawmakers see the wisdom of enacting one, states should at least include nuclear power in their definitions of what counts as clean energy, so that utilities are required to buy some nuclear power. The challenge is to keep the existing big nuclear reactors going while smaller, cheaper reactors are perfected. Future nuclear technology should have the kind of production and investment tax credits that wind and solar have relied on, as well as reforms to unnecessarily burdensome licensing requirements.

It’s possible next-generation nuclear power won’t come to fruition in time to fully replace the plants now operating. Perhaps nuclear one day will be eclipsed by other technological innovations – batteries, for example, that could turn wind and solar into a steady stream of energy. But climate change is happening now, and nuclear already has proved to be a reliable source of clean power. It’s only prudent for the government to support the latter as a way of fighting the former.

Trump’s tweaking of NAFTA a ‘disaster’ President Donald Trump campaigned hard against the North American Free Trade Agreement, at one point declaring that the tariff-slashing pact with Canada and Mexico, in effect for 23 years, “has been a disaster for our country” and “has to be totally gotten rid of.”

On another occasion, he pledged “to immediately renegotiate the terms of that agreement to get a better deal for our workers. And I don’t mean just a little bit better, I mean a lot better.” If our neighbors to the north and south did not agree to renegotiate, Trump said, then he would serve notice of American intent to exit the deal.

Now that his administration has revealed its draft NAFTA agenda, in the form of a letter to Congress from the acting U.S. trade representative, it would appear that Trump’s bark had little relationship to his bite. In tone, the document is conciliatory. Its preamble takes note of the extensive trading relationships that have flowered under NAFTA, and speaks of the great

“potential ... benefit” to the United States of “improving” it.

In substance, it is conventional: a list of implicit but clear allusions to long-standing U.S. concerns such as domestic-content rules for the North American motor vehicle industry and Canada’s protection of its dairy farms. One controversial point was a reference to “snap back” tariffs as a remedy for undue “import surges” to the United States. But even that mechanism has precedent in the terms of past trade deals, such as the ill-fated Trans-Pacific Partnership.

Speaking of TPP, which Trump also denounced, it actually would have accomplished a good deal of what the president now says he wants for the U.S. with respect to Canada and Mexico.

The NAFTA partners agreed, in return for the benefits, economic and strategic, of what they hoped would be a U.S.-led market-building plan spanning a vast region of the world. Now that TPP has died, thanks in no small part to Trump’s attacks on

it during 2016, it’s not clear what inducements he can offer Ottawa and Mexico City to make those same concessions again.

Indeed, the president’s hostile and bombastic rhetoric has probably made it more difficult for the NAFTA countries to deal with the U.S., when the talks do commence some months from now.

This is true even where the administration raises valid issues, such as its suggested update to automotive industry domestic-content rules, which may not necessarily reflect new supply chains linking Asia and North America, or the rise of a large Mexican auto industry.

Trump’s campaign protectionism was so over the top that any moderation now is a relief.

But the damage from his rhetoric won’t be easily undone. Even by the notoriously demagogic standards of trade politics, Trump’s vilification of NAFTA may set a record for being simultaneously inflammatory and – we now know – hollow.

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

VIEWS Austin Berg household.)

But what well-meaning residents may not know about the CSFT is that a multibillion-dollar business based in Missouri – Stifel, Nicolaus & Co. – is often pulling the strings.

A 2014 Illinois Policy Institute investigation found Stifel involvement in 12 of the 14 CSFT hikes in that year’s fall election cycle, and dozens more over the seven years prior. The company provided guidance to Jackson County officials last year.

Stifel’s business model looks like this: employees trek across the state offering free consultation to school boards that want more money for their districts. Then they make a pitch to handle the lucrative bond business for the ensuing projects funded by the sales tax hike. Nice work if you can get it.

But nickel-and-diming tactics like the CSFT end up masking accountability for local spending decisions.

They also show why a weak property tax freeze from Springfield won’t force local governments to get their spending under control.

Look at Hillsboro, a small rural community about an hour south of Springfield and the seat of Montgomery County. Montgomery is one of Stifel’s latest targets. Last year, Hill-

sboro voters rejected a referendum to build a new high school at a cost of more than $60 million.

Soon after, Stifel representatives showed up and persuaded Montgomery County schools to put the CSFT on the ballot this spring.

“There’s nothing left here to pay a new tax like this,” said Jeff Dunn, a Hillsboro small business owner.

“Really good jobs that would support a family have left. All of our industry is gone now.”

Hillsboro already levies a special telecommunications tax. And the local school district hiked its property tax levy by 55 percent from 2006 to 2015.

“We have high unemployment, high poverty and a high number of residents on food stamps,” Dunn said.

“That tax is a real burden on many people but it’s not enough for the school?”

Biased advising from Stifel often leads to questionable claims from local officials regarding the CSFT. One popular myth: If voters approve the sales tax hike, property taxes will go down.

Don’t count on it. Just ask taxpayers in Champaign.

Stifel, local school districts and the Champaign County Board promoted claims in 2009 that the sales tax hike would result in lower property taxes in 13 Champaign County school districts. The CSFT passed in all of them.

But only one of those school districts lowered property tax levies over the

next five years.

The other 12 districts raised property tax levies by an average of 22 percent as of 2014. And that’s on top of the new sales tax, which has taken tens of millions of extra dollars from Champaign County residents.

While school districts can place CSFT referendums on the ballot every election, wearing down any opposition, voters can never initiate a referendum to repeal the tax once enacted.

New local revenue across Illinois often serves to only prop up an unsustainable system, one where collective bargaining agreements ensure benefits far above what residents working in the private sector can expect, administrative pay continues to rise, and prevailing wage requirements inflate the cost of public projects.

Part of the Illinois Senate’s failed “grand bargain” was a two-year property tax freeze. But such a freeze means nothing without reforms to local government spending, and comprehensive changes to the roadblocks that protect residents from other tax and fee hikes like the CSFT. Without necessary safeguards, companies like Stifel are all too happy to take advantage of tax-hungry officials.

To the Editor: In light of the gaffes coming from the Trump administration (wiretap, Russian interference, unaffordable health care, reshaping government that looks a lot like a dictatorship, etc.) on a nearly daily basis, I’d like to suggest a theme song for the president and his cabinet members.

CFPB is harmful

To the Editor: The Consumer Financial Protection

Bureau, a Washington creature born out of the Dodd-Frank Act, is hurting Illinois consumers.

The CFPB is dumping mountains of new regulations on Main Street financial institutions which did not cause the financial crisis and are almost never identified as hurting consumers. By the time these community banks and credit unions dig out from implementing one crushing regulation, they face another. This might explain why 42 community banks and 106 Illinois credit unions have closed since Dodd-Frank was signed in 2010.

Illinois consumers and small businesses are hurt the most by losing access to local trusted financial institutions.

The Orwellian-named “Protection Bureau” is not accountable to the American people, the president or Congress.

As constructed, it is without its own Inspector General to monitor internal operations. This is a blatant violation of

A Missouri corporation is making a pretty penny helping to hike local sales taxes across Illinois. But in the process, it’s proving how local governments shirk responsibility to keep their spending in check.

Ten years ago, Illinois passed a law authorizing the Illinois County School Facility Occupation Tax. This law allows elected school boards representing a majority of the county’s student population to place a sales tax hike referendum of up to 1 percent on the ballot.

To pass, it requires a simple majority vote. And all that money has to go toward school facility projects.

Odds are you’ve seen this question at the polls at some point over the past decade, as about 70 counties across Illinois have voted on this ballot question since 2007.

Take Jackson County, where 57 percent of voters approved a 1 percent CSFT in October. That means families in Carbondale will pay an 11.75 percent sales tax on food and beverage items, and a 9.75 percent sales tax on other goods. Those rates rival those paid by families in Chicago, which is home to the highest sales tax in the nation among major cities.

The fact that these new sales taxes pile on to already excessive tax burdens across the state is bad enough.

Trump jump-starting infrastructure projects

By JOSH BOAK

The Associated Press WASHINGTON – With legislation overhauling taxes and health care on an uncertain path, President Donald Trump returned to the familiar.

Trump brought 52 business leaders from New York City to the White House on Tuesday to talk about another favorite campaign issue: infrastructure and economic growth.

The U.S. economy so far has proved to be a point of pride for a presidency that has otherwise gotten off to a rocky start.

Trump inherited a stable economy from former President Barack Obama, an economic recovery that’s heading toward its eighth year. But Trump believes he can do more for business.

Trump and several of his top aides emphasized plans to cut red tape and jump-start infrastructure projects at Tuesday’s meeting, while also previewing for the CEOs other priorities that include shortening flight times for airplanes, increasing the power grid’s efficiency and targeting programs to improve job training.

At one point, the president had an aide come on stage to hold up a long scroll of the government’s approval process for building a highway. The president then pledged to eliminate more than 90 percent of the regulations involved and “still have safety.”

He provided no details.

The administration has committed

President Donald Trump speaks Tuesday during a town hall with business leaders in the South Court Auditorium on the White House complex in Washington. He emphasized plans to jump-start infrastructure projects that are shovel-ready. to directing as much as $1 trillion for infrastructure over the next decade, although it has yet to release policy specifics. Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao recently said she expects a plan will be unveiled later this year.

But getting a measure through Congress could be difficult given the Republican majority in both chambers and their desire to reduce tax rates as much as possible. An infrastructure plan that relies on direct funding could possibly raise the budget deficit more than one that uses tax credits.

Trump touted the plan he said is in the works, telling the room, “We’re talking about a very major infrastructure bill of a trillion dollars, perhaps even more.”

Administration officials stressed that it can take more than eight years between funding and the start of project construction, a timeline White House officials say is too slow given the commitment of hundreds of billions of dollars a year.

Trump wanted the CEOs gathered at the Eisenhower Executive Office

Building – many of them involved in real estate – to start building roadways, airports, railways, bridges and other infrastructure as quickly as possible.

“If you have a job that you can’t start within 90 days, we’re not going to give you money for it,” Trump said.

The president followed up his remarks at the town hall by giving an afternoon speech to the Building Trades Union, pledging to “rebuild our nation.”

At the CEO town hall, Gary Cohn, director of the White House National Economic Council, noted that infrastructure upgrades could help growth.

A new air-traffic control system that relied on GPS instead of radar would shorten flights and save on jet fuel, helping consumers, he said. Cohn also suggested updates to the power grid to avoid the loss of 20 percent of electricity in transmission. Trump’s daughter Ivanka spoke to the CEOs about the value of job training.

The sales pitch with its technocratic angle seemed perfectly targeted for the assembled business leaders.

“It’s terrific in terms of the stuff you’re trying to do to modernize the government, educate and so forth,” said Stephen Schwarzman, CEO of the Blackstone Group, an investment firm, and chairman of the president’s policy forum.

“The outside world doesn’t always get the message that that’s really what is going on,” he said.

‘Behold the Dreamers’ wins PEN/Faulkner award

AP file photo

Bill O’Reilly, of the Fox News Channel program “The O’Reilly Factor,” poses Oct. 1, 2015, for photos in New York. O’Reilly didn’t discuss harassment allegations detailed against him over the weekend in his first show back on Monday.

More advertisers say they have ditched Fox’s O’Reilly show Bill O’Reilly’s top-rated Fox News show may be starting to feel a financial sting after allegations that he sexually harassed several women.

Automakers Hyundai, BMW and Mitsubishi, financial firm T. Rowe Price, personal finance site Credit Karma, insurer Allstate, drugmakers Sanofi and GlaxoSmithKline, pet food company Ainsworth, men’s shirt seller Untuckit, and online marketing firm Constant Contact said Tuesday that they have joined Mercedes-Benz in pulling their ads from the show.

The moves come after a weekend report in The New York Times that O’Reilly and his employer paid five women $13 million to settle harassment or other allegations of inappropriate conduct by Fox’s star.

Hyundai said it currently has no ads on “The O’Reilly Factor,” but it pulled spots on future episodes. The automaker said it wants to partner with companies and programming that share its values of inclusion and diversity. BMW said it suspended advertising on the show due to the recent allegations, as did T. Rowe Price, Sanofi, Ainsworth and Constant Contact. Allstate said support for women is a company value and it had also suspended advertising on the show.

GlaxoSmithKline said it had “temporarily put a hold” on ads on O’Reilly’s show while it reviews the situation.

A Mercedes-Benz spokesman said Monday night that the company had pulled ads from O’Reilly’s show and reassigned them to other Fox News shows. Sanofi and Untuckit have the same plan. BMW said it wasn’t sure where it would place its ads instead.

NEW YORK – A timely, and timeless, debut novel about immigration and the class divide has won the PEN/Faulkner Award for fiction.

Imbolo Mbue’s “Behold the Dreamers” was chosen from hundreds of submitted works, the PEN/Faulkner Foundation announced Tuesday. The novel tells of immigrants from Cameroon, Mbue’s native country, and their hopes and struggles to succeed in New York City.

Mbue will receive $15,000 in prize money. The four runners-up, including Louise Erdrich and Garth Greenwell, each will be given $5,000. Previous winners of the PEN/ Faulkner Award include E.L. Doctorow, Ann Patchett and Sherman Alexie.

Mel B gets restraining order against estranged husband LOS ANGELES – A judge has granted singer Mel B a temporary restraining order and sole custody of her youngest daughter after she claimed her estranged husband subjected her to years of abuse.

The order was granted Monday after the former Spice Girl filed a sworn declaration stating Stephen Belafonte subjected her to emotional and physical abuse throughout their relationship and threatened to leak sex tapes of her.

Mel B, whose real name is Melanie Brown, wrote that Belafonte’s abuse often occurred after high-profile events, including punch-

ing her after her appearance on Australia’s version of “X Factor” in July 2012 and again days after she performed with the Spice Girls at the London Olympics.

Court records filed in their divorce do not include a lawyer for Belafonte, and attempts to find a representative for him were unsuccessful.

Showtime making miniseries on deposed Fox chief Ailes LOS ANGELES – A miniseries about deposed Fox News Channel executive Roger Ailes is in the works at Showtime.

The project in development is based on New York magazine writer Gabriel Sherman’s reporting on Ailes.

Showtime won out over competition for the limited series, which also will draw on Sherman’s 2014 biography of Ailes, “The Loudest Voice in the Room.”

Tom McCarthy, the Oscar-winning director of “Spotlight,” will join Sherman as a writer and executive producer. Casting wasn’t announced.

Ailes left Fox last summer following allegations that he made unwanted sexual advances against women, which he has denied.

On Monday, Fox News contributor Julie Roginsky leveled more sexual-harassment accusations against him.

Implants help paralyzed man feed himself Technology still years away from home use

By MARIA CHENG

The Associated Press LONDON – A paralyzed man was able to feed himself for the first time in eight years after doctors implanted sensors in his brain that sent signals to his arm.

Bill Kochevar was paralyzed from the shoulders down after a cycling accident in Cleveland in 2006.

To help him move again, in 2014, doctors surgically placed two tiny implants into his brain to pick up signals from neurons from the area that controls hand movement. The signals are relayed through external cables to a computer, which sends commands to electrodes in his arm and hand muscles.

After first practicing with virtual reality, Kochevar then was able to drink coffee through a straw and eat forkfuls of mashed potatoes and macaroni and cheese on his own.

“It was amazing,” the 56-year-old Kochevar said. “I couldn’t believe I could do it just by thinking about it.”

But after years of being paralyzed, Kochevar’s shoulder wasn’t strong enough to lift his arm, so doctors also provided Kochevar with a robotic arm support for extra assistance.

Kochevar’s case is detailed by his doctors in a paper published last week in the journal Lancet.

“We know that [in paralyzed people] the spinal cord is damaged and the signals from the brain do not make it down to the muscles. And so in our system, we have effectively bridged that,” said researcher Bob Kirsch of Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, the study’s senior author.

Similar technology previously has

In this undated photo from Case Western Reserve University, Bill Kochevar feeds himself in Cleveland, Ohio. The paralyzed man was able to feed himself for the first time in eight years after doctors implanted electronic sensors into his brain and arm that restored the broken connection between them. Kochevar, 56, was paralyzed from the shoulders down after a cycling accident in Cleveland nearly a decade ago. been used to help a few paralyzed people in experimental studies do things such as grasp a bottle, hold a toothbrush and move their legs, but the brain and muscle implants haven’t been used beyond the laboratory and are not a cure for paralysis.

Kirsch said he hoped patients like Kochevar might be able to use such technology outside of the lab within a few years, but that would require several engineering upgrades. He estimates the technology would cost tens of thousands of dollars.

Chad Bouton of the Feinstein Institute for Medical Research in Manhasset, New York, who has worked on similar projects but didn’t participate in the new project, said the technology may be useful beyond paralysis.

“If we can reroute signals around a spinal cord injury, that means we’ve opened the door to rerouting signals around injured areas of the brain,” Boutons said. “So if someone has a stroke and there’s a damaged part of the brain, this technology could allow us to work around it.”

Other experts said more research is needed on how to improve and possibly expand the range of movements that might be possible from such brain implant technology.

Kochevar, who worked in information technology, said he would love to be able to use the brain implant system at home one day.

“I’d like to be able to turn it on when I need to do something, do what I need to do and then shut it off,” he said. “I’d be so excited every day to be trying new things.”

U.S. enrolls volunteers in first large test of possible Zika vaccine The ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON– U.S. health officials have begun enrolling volunteers for critical next-stage testing of an experimental vaccine to protect against Zika, the mosquito-borne virus that can cause devastating birth defects in pregnant women.

The first volunteer was vaccinated last week at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, as the National Institutes of Health gears up for a two-part study that aims to enroll at least 2,400 people in Texas,

Florida, Puerto Rico and five at-risk countries: Brazil, Mexico, Panama, Costa Rica and Peru.

Zika has caused an epidemic of birth defects – including babies with abnormally small heads and brains – in parts of Latin America and the Caribbean, and continues to spread to a creeping list of other countries. For the U.S. the risk largely has been to travelers, although mosquitoes spread the virus in parts of southern Florida and Texas last year, where health officials remain on guard.

But while Zika largely disappeared from headlines

over the winter, mosquito season is fast approaching – and the risk persists internationally.

“It is imperative that public health research continue to work to contain the spread of the virus,” Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of NIH’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said Friday in announcing the $100 million study. First-stage safety testing of a so-called DNA vaccine against Zika signaled no side effect concerns, Fauci said – allowing the NIH-created shots to progress to the next stage of testing that will help tell if they really work.

TRENTON, N.J. – U.S. regulators have approved the first drug for an aggressive kind of multiple sclerosis that steadily reduces coordination and the ability to walk.

The Food and Drug Administration approved Ocrevus last week after a large study found it slowed progression of the neurological disease and reduced symptoms.

While there are more than a dozen treatments for the most common form of MS, there’s been nothing specifically for people with the type called primary progressive MS. That type of MS is relatively rare, affecting about 50,000 Americans.

The drug also was approved for relapsing forms of MS, which progress more slowly.

It’s given intravenously every six months. The drug was developed by Genentech, part of Swiss drugmaker the Roche Group. Genentech, based in South San Francisco, California, said the initial list price without insurance will be $65,000 a year.

In primary progressive MS, the disease’s course varies among patients, but symptoms gradually worsen from the start and there usually are no

periods when symptoms subside. Most of the estimated 400,000 Americans with MS have the relapsing-remitting type, in which symptoms can wane for months, even years, between flare-ups.

Symptoms are caused by the immune system attacking the fatty coverings on nerves in the brain and spinal cord that protect them, much like insulation on electrical wiring.

As the coverings deteriorate, nerve “messages” aren’t properly transmitted, disrupting movement and muscle control.

For patients with primary progressive MS, life span on average is shortened by six years, said Dr. Fred Lublin, director of the MS center at Mount Sinai Health System in New York City.

Since 1993, 14 drugs have been approved to slow the most common form of MS, but everything tested against primary progressive MS failed until now, said Lublin, a consultant to Genentech who was on the committee overseeing the study.

“This therapy not only provides another treatment option for those with relapsing MS, but for the first time provides an approved therapy for those with primary progressive MS,” Dr. Billy Dunn, director of the FDA’s Division of Neurology Products, said in a statement.

In the study testing Ocrevus for primary progressive MS, which involved 732 patients, Ocrevus had a “modest but definite slowing effect on the rate at which people develop disabilities,” said Lublin.

Compared to study participants getting dummy infusions, patients given Ocrevus infusions had slower declines in walking ability and slower disability progression over nearly 2½ years.

The Ocrevus group also had fewer new brain-damaging lesions develop but slightly higher rates of certain side effects, including upper respiratory tract infections and tumors developing in various parts of the body.

The drug also was tested in two large studies involving 1,656 patients as a treatment for relapsing forms of MS. In those 96-week studies, patients given Ocrevus had lower relapse rates and reduced worsening of disability compared to participants given Rebif, a standard drug for relapsing MS, according to the FDA. Ocrevus will be available in the U.S. within two weeks, Genentech said, noting the average price of MS medicines has quadrupled over the past 12 years. As a “first step” in reversing that trend, the company said, it priced Ocrevus 25 percent below Rebif’s list price.

TRENTON, N.J. – U.S. regulators have approved the first powerful, injected medicine to treat serious cases of the skin condition eczema.

The Food and Drug Administration on Tuesday approved Dupixent for moderate or severe eczema, which causes red, fiercely itchy rashes on the face, arms and legs.

In three studies of the drug including a total of 2,119 participants, one-third to two-thirds achieved clear or nearly clear skin. About 4 in 10 had itching decrease sharply, bringing better sleep and reducing anxiety and depression.

Dupixent will have an initial list price of $37,000 a year, according to Paris, France-based Sanofi SA and Regeneron Pharmaceuticals of Tarrytown, New York, which developed the drug.

Eczema treatments generally have been limited to topical medications, steroid creams, moisturizers and ultraviolet light, plus antihistamines to relieve itching. Those work fairly well for mild eczema, but not the severe form, also called atopic dermatitis. It’s also the most common form.

Studies show surprising link between diabetes, pollution Dear Doctor: A recent study found air pollution increases the risk of Type 2 diabetes. How can that be? Air pollution can’t possibly raise blood sugar levels.

Dear Reader: I can understand your disbelief. My first thought when I saw this study was that it was correlative, not causative.

In other words, air quality is simply worse in cities, which are more likely to have large numbers of people with lower socioeconomic status, who, in turn, tend to have greater rates of obesity and diabetes. Then I looked more closely.

Air pollutants assessed in the studies include nitrogen dioxide and particulate matter between 0.1 to 2.5 microns in size (PM 2.5). Early epidemiologic studies showed a correlation between areas of greater pollution and diabetes, but did not control for socioeconomic status. Then came a 2010 study that used census data from three counties in the United States, and assessed both rates of diabetes and Environmental Protection Agency data regarding PM 2.5 pollution.

The authors took into account such socioeconomic variables as median income, high school completion, male sex and ethnicity – all markers for diabetes risk. The authors found a 16 to 20 percent increase in the prevalence of diabetes in the areas that had the highest amounts of PM 2.5 versus those areas with the lowest amounts, even with all other factors being equal.

Then came this year’s study published in the journal Diabetes that included 314 obese Latino children in Los Angeles. The authors analyzed where the children lived; the amount of pollution to which they were exposed, measured by both nitrogen dioxide

SUDOKU

ASK THE DOCTORS Robert Ashley and PM 2.5; and their parents’ socioeconomic data. The children were followed for 3.4 years, during which time they underwent tests of blood sugar, two-hour glucose tolerance, insulin and insulin response to glucose.

The authors found the markers for future diabetes were much greater in those exposed to greater amounts of pollutants. This was independent of socioeconomic status, and even independent of the level of obesity.

The cause isn’t completely clear yet.

Studies in rodents exposed to pollutants have shown increased inflammation within fat cells, accumulation of cholesterol in the liver and decreased ability of muscles to use sugar. This leads to both metabolic dysfunction and obesity. Further, pollutants can lead to systemic inflammation that leads to insulin resistance, and thus the inability to bring sugar into the cells of the body, leaving it to sit in the bloodstream.

What is clear is there does appear to be an association between pollution and diabetes, but more studies are needed to evaluate the degree of the association. Regardless, pollution is obviously unhealthy and needs to be controlled. The measurements of pollution provided in these studies come from the EPA, whose existence is to safeguard the health of current and future societies.

I have been married for three years. We are both retired. Five months after the wedding, my husband let me know he wasn’t interested in having sex anymore. We no longer share a bedroom. He’s overweight, not in the best of health, and refuses to change his diet or exercise. I feel as if I am living with a very nice male friend. I did state clearly to him before we were married what I was looking for in a husband, and he agreed to everything I said. Although I am lonely, I would never cheat on him.

He refuses to consider any type of marriage counseling. I’m not stressed, but I know I must get out of here. Any suggestions on how to save this marriage? – The Exit Plan Dear Exit: The answer to your question is no.

You made clear to your husband that sex in a marriage was important to you. You say he “agreed to everything.” Because that was not the truth and you were misled, consult an attorney to find out if the marriage can be annulled.

Dear Abby: My husband and I have been married for 10 years. We are both in our 50s. Six months ago, I found him with nail polish on his toes. When I asked him about it, he said it started in his 20s when a girlfriend painted his toes, and he liked it. He said he doesn’t wear polish all the time, but he does it for himself and he likes how it looks. I asked if he was a cross-dresser, and he assured me he isn’t. I’m not sure how I should feel about this. I’m writing for opinions from you and others. I can’t turn to my friends because I don’t want this to become small-town gossip. – Painted in New Jersey Dear Painted: You asked for an opinion, so here’s mine. Frankly, I’m surprised it has taken you 10 years to notice this. Because your husband enjoys painting his toenails, look the other way and don’t obsess about it. We all have quirks, and what he’s doing is harmless.

Dear Abby: I am estranged from my son because he changed his last name when he married. He did it over my objection. Reportedly, his wife’s parents tried to dissuade them from doing it, too. The explanation we were given was “they need to have the same last name to feel like a family.” I suppose our last name was not acceptable, although they claimed they had nothing against it. I tried to compromise and suggested my son use a hyphenated name. They agreed to it, but changed their minds after the wedding. I suspect their reason was they want their children to have a different last name than ours. What is your take on this? Am I overreacting by wanting to have nothing to do with them?

Fuentes lifts Gators

Homer in 10th sends CLS to FVC victory

By JOE STEVENSON

joestevenson@shawmedia.com McHENRY – Crystal Lake South third baseman Brian Fuentes had a message for teammate Ryan Parquette, who was leading off the top of the 10th inning for the Gators.

“I told Ryan, ‘Get on base. I’m going to hit and you have to run,’ ” said Fuentes, a senior who moved to Crystal Lake from Venezuela 11 months ago “I tried to hit the ball hard and do Brian Fuentes a good job.”

Parquette reached on an error and ran hard to reach second and third on wild pitches. But getting home was easy, as Fuentes launched a 2-1 pitch well over the left-field fence to give the Gators a 4-2 victory over McHenry in their Fox Valley Conference baseball opener Tuesday night at Petersen Park.

Fuentes’ third hit of the game gave South its first lead in an intense opener between two teams expected to contend for the FVC championship.

“I waited for the fastball,” Fuentes said. “I knew it (was gone). I was so excited when the ball jumped from the bat because I knew the ball would go so far.

This was like the best game I’ve played in, in my whole life. I enjoyed the game and tried to do my best.”

The game started as a pitchers’ duel between both teams’ aces – South’s Andrew Engelking and McHenry’s Bobby Miller. Miller struck out nine and allowed four hits in seven innings. He was pulled after throwing 93 pitches, and Dylan Honkala finished the game.

Engelking, with some low-pitch innings, went nine innings, striking out four and allowing five hits.

McHenry’s Colton Klein ripped a solo home run in the fifth, but South answered the next inning when Fuentes singled and scored on Michael Swiatly’s single.

“Bobby pitched a heck of a game, got them deep into the game,” Gators coach Brian Bogda said. “Andrew just met him.

I think that’s the best I’ve seen Andrew.

Both teams settled in and did a nice job.

We got 23 more of these (FVC games). It’s going to be a battle every night.”

They made a lot of tough hits. I have to give credit to (pitching) coach (Mark) Tschappat for the pitch call and the defense.”

McHenry almost won the game in the bottom of the ninth when Ian Grubich singled with one out. Klein then walked, and Miller, Engelking’s last batter faced, hit a shot to deep center field. South cen-

ter fielder Brent Chubb almost ran the ball down, and Grubich stopped to try to tag up from second base, believing the ball would be caught.

“That kid had a chance of catching it,” Miller said. “It was hard to tell whether to run or tag. It’s a pretty hard decision.”

Grubich took off for third, and Warriors coach Brian Rockweiler sent him home, but Chubb threw to shortstop Kory Olsen, whose relay home to Parquette got Grubich.

“Their center fielder was really deep,” Rockweiler said. “It was one of those where he was caught in-between.

All of us thought he was going to catch it. We probably shouldn’t have sent him, but they had to make two really good throws, and they did.”

Reliever Luke Dunham still had a tough situation after he entered the game for Engelking. He walked Jared Wojcik to load the bases with two outs.

Honkala hit a hard ground ball to shortstop and Olsen flipped to second just in time for the force out.

“I trust Luke because he’s been in those situations,” Bogda said. “He’s a guy who’s been there before. It was a good situation for him, and he handled it well.”

That set up Fuentes, who is 8 for 13 in his past four games, for his biggest hit as a Gator. He ran halfway to first base and flipped his bat toward South’s dugout as the Gators ran toward home plate to greet him.

“He’s as good as advertised,” Bogda said. “He’s a special player.”

q AND ANOTHER THING ...

With runners on first and second and nobody out, Marian Central first baseman Jamie Gatz made a diving catch in foul territory in the top of the third to retire Jess Cruz. Finnegan, playing shortstop, sneaked behind the runner on second base, and Gatz threw her out for a double play. a freshman, never stopped running, rounding third and scoring on an inside-the-park home run in the bottom of the first inning.

In her next at-bat, Finnegan attacked the second pitch from starting

pitcher Hailey Geske, ripping a liner over Paaske’s head to drive in a run.

This time, with the Tigers playing closer to the fence, Hurricanes coach Erin Widmayer stopped Finnegan at third base.

Finnegan added a single in the third, finishing 3 for 3 with two RBIs and two runs scored to lead the Hurricanes to a 4-1 nonconference win over Crystal Lake Central Maggie at Lippold Park.

Finnegan Finnegan didn’t have a chance at a cycle with her spot due up fifth in the bottom of the sixth.

“Even at our place, those probably both would have been out,” Widmayer said of Finnegan’s first two hits. “I only held her at third because they started playing her off the fence. I always know she can do that. Today, she flipped the switch big time.”

In the circle, Marian senior Maddie Peters allowed an unearned run on two hits with six strikeouts and four walks.

She didn’t allow a hit until the fifth inning when Jess Cruz came through with a two-out triple to score Kaylie

Jeter (1 for 3).

Peters (1-1) retired the final seven batters and allowed only two base runners in the final four innings for Marian (3-1), winner of three straight.

“I was really just trying to work the inside-outside, and keep it low,” said Peters, who has a 1.75 ERA in three games. “I just wanted to keep my pitches down as low as I can, just to eliminate any hits and help my defense out.”

The Hurricanes (3-0) jumped on Geske early, scoring all four runs in the first two innings. Laura Black scored on a wild pitch, and Ryan Klinger drove in Finnegan after she tripled and drove in Ellen Sharp (1 for 2).

Geske settled down after the second for the Tigers (2-2), allowing only two base runners over the final four innings. She allowed four runs (two earned) on six hits with three strikeouts and no walks.

“She has not had a whole lot of innings the last couple of years as a pitcher,” Tigers coach Brian Strombom said. “But she’s been called upon, and we asked her to take that role and she’s up to it. She’s not the type that’s going to shake a challenge.”

SOFTBALL: HARLEM 11, CRYSTAL LAKE SOUTH 2

Gators learn hard lessons in taking first loss

By TIM FROEHLIG

sports@nwherald.com CRYSTAL LAKE – Crystal Lake South softball coach Scott Busam didn’t hold back his feelings regarding his team’s lackluster performance during an 11-2 nonconference loss against Harlem on Tuesday.

It was the first defeat of 2017 for the Gators (3-1), who managed only five hits off Huskies junior starting pitcher Elle Adams – who struck out seven during her complete-game effort.

“I hope this is the type of game we learn a lesson from,” Busam said. “Harlem is a very good, well-coached team, and that’s why we scheduled them. I’m disappointed, because I thought this would be a great test for us early in the season. They came out and did every little softball-related thing right. We didn’t.”

Harlem (3-2-1) scored at least one run in all seven innings, pounded out 16 hits and had nine players reach base safely. South starter Tina Toniolo allowed nine runs before being struck on her left

Coach Scott Busam called on his co-captain to play shortstop for the first time in her three years on varsity, and she looked comfortable there. Baker made three putouts, including a diving double play in the seventh that drew loud cheers from fans of both teams.

Although she struggled to find the strike zone at times, Sam Burgard allowed only two hits in her 22/3 innings of relief for the Gators. wrist just above her glove with a line drive with one out in the top of the fifth.

She was removed from the game as a precaution.

“Their hitters were squaring everything up,” Busam said. “I still have a lot of confidence in Tina and all of our girls.

They’ll bounce back. But we left way too many pitches in the same locations over the heart of the plate. Our runners weren’t aggressive when we did get on base. We’re not the kind of team that can go on the field and simply out-talent another team every day. But collectively, we know we’re a better team than we were today and still capable of big things.”

Despite the nine-run loss, there were several bright spots, particularly defensively. Right fielder Kyra Swartz made a leaping catch at the fence in the top of the sixth to rob Paige Lanan of extra bases and what would’ve been her fourth hit of the game.

South senior Britt Baker (a team captain, along with Sam Schettl) started at shortstop for the first time in a varsity game. Baker made a spectacular snag on a grounder to rob a hit while lunging to her left in the top of the seventh, stepped on second, then fired a rocket to first to complete a double play.

“I was a little bit nervous at first at shortstop, but I’ll play wherever Coach tells me to play,” Baker said. “I just want to help the team win games.”

It’s that kind of versatility, attitude and leadership Busam and the Gators hope to see from more players as the season progresses.

“Britt is the kind of player I can put anywhere, and I know with certainty she will excel,” Busam said. “Great kid and a great student, too.

“This was also Carly Chovanec’s first start behind the plate as a catcher this spring. I’m trying to figure out who gives us the best chance to win at a lot of different positions. I think once those issues settle themselves, you’re going to see a much more comfortable and confident bunch out there a month from now.”

The Gators still feel they can compete for the Fox Valley Conference title, too.

“That’s our goal,” Busam said. “And we feel it’s a realistic one if the girls play up to their capabilities and take every pitch and every inning seriously, and keep working hard.”

CRYSTAL LAKE – Without any extra-base hits in her first three games, Marian Central’s Maggie Finnegan tweaked her approach against Crystal Lake Central in hopes of finding more power.

“I really wanted to focus on my dynamics and power today instead of just going up there and swinging away,” said Finnegan, who committed to Penn State at age 15.

Batting leadoff, the 5-foot-6 sophomore didn’t disappoint. Finnegan pulled the third pitch she saw from Tigers pitcher Hailey Geske to deep left-center field, chasing left fielder Morgann Paaske to the fence 300 feet away.

Johnsburg (3-4, 1-0 KRC) took full advantage of walks and a hit batter in the second inning. Johnsburg grabbed a 4-0 lead after sending 10 batters to the plate on only two hits. The Skyhawks walked four times in the second inning, two of which came with the bases loaded.

Johnsburg had only one more hit and an unearned run, which proved to be the game winner. Skyhawks coach Sam Lesniak was pleased with how his team battled in the second inning.

“We have struggled all year getting that big hit and taking advantage of what they gave us,” he said. “Today, we were able to do that and grab an early lead.”

R-B (2-6, 0-1) slowly got back in the game with single runs in the fourth and fifth innings, with Spencer Melton scoring on a wild pitch and knocking in a run with an RBI double. The Rockets put together a two-out, two-run rally with four hits in the seventh.

R-B had a chance to tie the score when Ryan Zimmer sprinted home on

a wild pitch, only to be called out on a bang-bang play at the plate to end the game. Although coach Mike Giese was encouraged with how his team rallied, the success of the Rockets will depend on their pitching.

“Not throwing strikes has been an issue for us all year,” Giese said. “We aren’t throwing enough strikes early in the count and then get behind, and teams seem to tee off after that. We are learning and growing each game and each practice. It’s definitely a process.”

Johnsburg was led by Adam Jayko, who gave his team the early lead with an RBI double. He also picked up a save.

“We had a lot of nerves playing our first conference game against our biggest rival,” Jayko said. “We were able to set the tone early with those four runs. It was a closer ending than we wanted, but we will take the win.”

R-B was led by Melton with two hits and Jake Kaufman, who finished with a single and a walk.

CHICAGO – A lot of air already was out of the Opening Day balloon before Jose Quintana’s first pitch Tuesday, what with a rainy day frowning on the White Sox and what would have been a near sellout crowd Monday at newly named Guaranteed Rate Field.

The Sox had five players starting for the first time in their Opening Day lineup, and although none would admit to a case of jitters, with the exception of Saladino (two hits and a walk), they all had forgettable games. Quintana allowed six runs on five hits, including three homers, and three walks; shortstop Tim Anderson was 0 for 4 with three strikeouts; catcher Omar Narvaez was 0 for 3 with a walk; and center fielder Jacob May, making his major league debut, was 0 for 4 with two strikeouts.

Quintana’s three homers allowed matched a career high. He confidently shook it off as a bad day at the office, although he is 2-4 with a 6.41 ERA in his past seven starts dating to Sept. 1. He was sharp during Cactus League games and nearly unhittable in his World Baseball Classic start for Colombia against Team USA, however.

Narvaez makes father proud

By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN

dvanschouwen@suntimes.com

He’s got next: James Shields, who has started seven Opening Days for the Royals, Rays and Padres during his career, is the scheduled starter for the Sox’s second game Wednesday, weather permitting. Shields was slated to start an exhibition game Friday in Milwaukee but worked on the side instead.

“I feel good,’’ Shields said. “I just wanted to have more of a controlled setting and work on a few things. Most of my spring trainings I only had six starts anyway, and that would have been my seventh.’’

Shields, 35, needs to bounce back after what was easily the worst season (6-19, 5.85 ERA) of his career, split between the Padres and Sox. This and that: Todd Frazier went 0 for 4 but lined out to center and lined out to the warning track in left.

• Tigers left fielder Justin Upton left after the sixth inning with a bruised left knee.

• The Sox were 0 for 9 with runners in scoring position.

CHICAGO – When catcher Omar Narvaez learned White Sox manager Ricky Renteria was giving him the nod to start on Opening Day, his first text went to his father, Omar Jose Narvaez.

“He was so proud of me, because he played a little baseball, too,’’ Narvaez said Tuesday. “My family, they all played baseball, even my grandpa. My entire family is huge proud.’’

Narvaez, 25, made a quick climb to the majors after the Sox snagged him from the Rays in the minor league portion of the 2013 Rule 5 draft. He handled pitchers well enough and hit .267 with a .350 onbase percentage over 34 games last season, including 30 starts, after the Sox called him up in early July.

Geovany Soto, 34, returned in the offseason to provide a veteran presence in a catching platoon that figures to see the left-handed hitting Narvaez get a sizable chunk of work.

It all started with catching Jose

Quintana on Opening Day, which is a big deal to Narvaez, too.

“It’s something that I dreamed about and now it comes true,’’ he said. “I just have to do my best.’’

Narvaez said his father was floored because “he never imagined I would catch the first day. He assumed I would make the team but Omar Narvaez not as the No. 1 guy [for the opener].’’

Quintana pitched to a 3.15 ERA in his five starts caught by Narvaez last season, almost at his norm for the season (3.20), compared with 2.37 with Dioner Navarro behind the plate in 15 games and 4.32 with Alex Avila catching. Quintana pitched to a 2.70 ERA in 10 games caught by Soto in 2015.

“He’s pretty fun to catch, as long as we stay on the same page,” Navarro said. “We do a good job with that – we watch video and talk over the plan before the game. We know what we need to do.’’

With so much speculation surrounding him as a valuable trade piece in the Sox’s rebuilding scheme, there was no getting around the knee-jerk wisecracks about his value plummeting in one start.

“Just chalk it up to an anomaly, and you expect when he gets back out there again he’ll be his old self,” Renteria said.

“He missed some spots,” said Narvaez, who caught Quintana five times last season. “It wasn’t his best day today.

“We have to give credit to them, too. They are good hitters. We didn’t execute, but it is what it is.”

The Tigers’ first three runs came on JaCoby Jones’ first career homer, and the next two on Nick Castellanos’ opposite-field homer with two outs in a five-run second. After that, Quintana was fine, save for Ian Kinsler’s homer with nobody on and two outs in the fourth.

The score remained at 6-2 until the ninth, when the Sox put two runners on with no outs in the ninth against right-hander Shane Greene, forcing Tigers manager Brad Ausmus to bring in closer Francisco Rodriguez. Rodriguez retired Narvaez and May (his good for an RBI) on ground outs and Saladino on a foul pop to end a game that didn’t really feel like a genuine opener.

The Sox had gone through Opening Day ceremonies the day before, and the crowd was less than a third of what it would have been.

“It was smaller, but Opening Day is Opening Day for us,” Todd Frazier said. “Was it different?

Yeah. At the same time, it was a lot of people’s first Opening Days, and there were some jitters.”

Maddon embraces bigger target

Cubs hold off Cards for 1st win of season

CUBS 2, CARDINALS 1 Chicago

By BRUCE MILES

bmiles@dailyherald.com ST. LOUIS – It was last year that Cubs manager Joe Maddon urged his team to “embrace the target.”

This year the target on the world champion Cubs’ backs might be even bigger, but that’s just fine with Maddon.

“I hope so, I absolutely hope so,” Maddon said Tuesday evening before his team earned its first victory of the season, 2-1 over the St. Louis Cardinals at Busch Stadium. “The bigger the target, the better we should play. The bigger the target, the better, the more prepared we should be. I mean that sincerely. I love that stuff. You know that.

“We didn’t run away from it last year. I don’t expect us to run away from it this year. And, regardless, I just want us to prepare and do our job like we would normally on a daily basis. If another group has to become emotional to play us or beat us, that’s going to run out at some point, too. I just want us to do what we do normally, and I’m very happy with that. It’s a lot like we did last year.”

The Cardinals celebrated hard after their opening night, last-at-bat victory over the Cubs. That’s to be expected. It also can be expected that other teams

A man wearing Cardinals jacket reacts as Cubs center fielder Albert Almora Jr. celebrates after making a home run-saving catch on a ball hit by the Cardinals’ Matt Adams in the seventh inning Tuesday night in St. Louis. The Cubs won, 2-1.

gardless of whether we would have won or lost,” third baseman Kris Bryant said. “My first year (2015), I think teams played us really good. Of course, you want to go out there and beat the will step up their games against the guys who won it all last year because it will definitely give you more confiCubs this year.

“I feel like teams play us hard re- dence, but I don’t know if I sense it yet.”

The Cubs sent Jake Arrieta to the mound Tuesday, and he pitched perfect ball through his first three innings before former Cub Dexter Fowler singled to lead off the fourth.

By that time, Arrieta had a 2-0 lead, thanks to his mates getting him a pair of runs in the top of the inning.

Addison Russell led off with a double, and Willson Contreras walked. Jason Heyward dunked a single into left field to score Russell and send Contreras to third.

Javier Baez then bunted Contreras home in what amounted to a safety squeeze.

The Cardinals scored an unearned run in the fifth, thanks to a pair of errors on one play by Baez at second base.

It turned out to be a rough and painful inning for the Cardinals’ Stephen Piscotty, who was hit by a pitch with one out. He took second on a wild pitch, and was hit by the throw to second by Contreras.

Kolten Wong grounded the ball softly to Baez, who fumbled the ball and then threw home. His throw hit Piscotty on the side of the batting helmet, allowing Piscotty to score but knocking him out of the game with a contusion to the head.

Arrieta lasted six innings, throwing 90 pitches. He was relieved by Koji Uehara, who got a nice defensive play by Albert Almora Jr., who leapt at the wall to rob Matt Adams with one out.

CUBS NOTES

Bryant’s Opening Day performances forgettable

By BRUCE MILES

bmiles@dailyherald.com ST. LOUIS – As good as he is, Kris Bryant can afford to laugh at himself now and then.

Before Tuesday night’s game against the Cardinals, Bryant lamented his lack of success in season debuts.

“I’m not a good debuter,” the Cubs third baseman said. “First game in pro ball, first game in rookie ball, first game in short-season, I’ve never had a good first game.”

In Sunday night’s season opener, Bryant was 0 for 4 with three strikeouts. Last year in Anaheim, he was 0 for 3, but he did walk twice in addition to striking out twice.

In his major league debut two years ago, he was 0 for 4 with three strikeouts.

“I’m frustrated even after good games,” the reigning MVP said. “That’s what drives me. Even when I do something good, there’s always something I can do better. There’s no different feeling. We’re going through this route all over again, hopefully another 180-plus games.

It’s a grind. I’ve always been that way.”

Then, on mock seriousness, he said: “I’m Kris Bryant going to keep trying my hardest.”

Beyond that, he said it was good to have Opening Night over and done with.

“I felt the nerves,” he said. “It’s the first game, a ton of people here. In Cardinal territory, you feel the nerves a little bit. So it’s nice to just get it out of

the way and just move on.”

It’s getting closer: Things are taking shape for the festivities surrounding the Cubs’ season-opening homestand, which begins Monday night with a game against the Los Angeles Dodgers (to be televised exclusively by ESPN).

The championship banner will be raised Monday with Cubs alumni before members of the Ricketts family throw a ceremonial first pitch.

Cubs Hall of Famers Fergie Jenkins, Ryne Sandberg and Billy Williams will lead the seventh-inning stretch.

Fans are encouraged to arrive early for home opener pregame festivities, which will start about 6:15 p.m.

World Series rings will be presented Wednesday night, before the second game of the homestand. Former Cubs catcher David Ross will throw a first

pitch and sing during the stretch.

Fans may enter Wrigley Field’s new western Gate H through the “Park at Wrigley,” which opens to the public Monday.

Preparing for rain: Bad weather is expected for Wednesday afternoon’s scheduled series finale. If a rainout were to happen, the Cubs would love nothing better than to have the game rescheduled for later in the season so they can stop in Chicago and enjoy an off-day Thursday before heading to Milwaukee for the weekend.

However, there’s a good possibility the Cardinals will insist on playing the makeup game Thursday. The teams have a mutual off-day Thursday, May 11, before the Cubs open a weekend series at Busch Stadium, but the Cardinals might well opt to do the Cubs no favors.

The New York Knicks’ Chasson Randle (left) fights for control of the ball with the Bulls’ Michael Carter-Williams during the first half Tuesday in New York. first quarter, and in the second stanza the problems moved to the offensive side, as the Bulls shot 5 for 20 (25 percent) from the field and were outscored 25-16.

“We let our lack of shot-making effect our defense,” Hoiberg said. “We weren’t playing as a unit on that defensive side of the floor. You’re going to go through droughts, and, obviously, we went through several, and we let it affect us on the other end. More importantly, we let it affect us on loose balls and toughness plays, physical play.

“We just got our [butts] kicked on the boards.”

And everywhere around the boards, as well.

Jimmy Butler again led the Bulls, scoring 26 points, while Nikola Mirotic chipped in 21 points and 10 rebounds, but the youngsters who had been so good lately really shrunk with the spotlight turning up a few degrees.

Rookie Denzel Valentine went 1 for 7 from the field, while Paul Zipser was 0 for 5.

Although a loss was the last thing Butler wanted to see at this point on the schedule, he wasn’t exactly shocked by it either. Not when he’s seen it happen far too often this year.

“Nah,” Butler said, when asked whether he was surprised with the stumble. “We didn’t come out with the fire that we needed to. They came out like they were playing for something, and we didn’t. They whipped our tail in every aspect of the game.”

Now it’s about making sure that doesn’t happen again.

The Bulls play at Philadelphia and then at Brooklyn, before coming home for games against Orlando and again Brooklyn.

“Effort,” Butler said. “That’s what it comes down to. Guard, rebounding, myself, everybody in here included.

It’s happened before, but we can’t let it happen again in these last four. We need these. There’s nothing we can do about this one now. Next one up.”

By MARK LAZERUS

mlazerus@suntimes.com DENVER – With nothing to play for over this final road trip of the season, it would be easy and reasonable for the Blackhawks to mail it in. But with the playoffs opening next week – likely Thursday for the Hawks – they’re trying to stay sharp and keep their mental edge. When you’re just trying to get through the last three games healthy, and when you’re shuffling guys in and out of the lineup, it’s a fine line to walk.

“We want to win these games,” Ryan Hartman said. “You want to go into the playoffs on a winning note. You don’t want to be going into the playoffs doubt-

ing yourself.”

Tuesday’s 4-3 overtime loss to the lowly Colorado Avalanche wasn’t what the Hawks had in mind. Aside from the first 10 minutes of the second period, the Hawks looked every bit like a team with nothing to play for, as they squandered a 3-0 lead, with Scott Darling making 47 saves as the Avalanche peppered him with a season-high 51 shots.

They looked disinterested at best as Darling bailed them out in a first period in which they were outshot, 16-3. Things picked up considerably in the second period, however. Artemi Panarin got one step closer to his bonus with a power-play goal 28 seconds into the period.

Hartman backhanded a shot through

Colorado goaltender Calvin Pickard less than four minutes later. And Marcus Kruger, sprung on a breakaway by a terrific Michal Rozsival stretch pass, put a nifty move on Pickard to make it 3-0 at 10:57 of the second.

But Matt Duchene and Gabriel Landeskog each scored short-handed goals late in the period to make a game of it. Duchene then fed Mikhail Grigorenko for the equalizer at 5:46 of the third period. Erik Johnson scored the game-winner at 1:57 of overtime.

It was a meaningless game in the standings. So are the final two at Anaheim and Los Angeles. But the Hawks want to finish strong, for their own sake.

• Wednesday, April 5, 2017

NEW YORK – The Bulls were due for a slip-up.

But an all-out, turn blue in the face, embarrassing gag job?

That wasn’t in the plans.

Not after four straight wins leading into a Tuesday night meeting in Madison Square Garden, and against a 48-loss Knicks team that started the likes of Ron Baker, Courtney Lee, Willy Hernangomez and Maurice Ndour.

Easy, right?

As this Bulls team reminded all of us, very little comes easy for it.

Even worse, the 100-91 loss came on a night in which the Pacers battled back to beat Toronto, so like the Bulls, were 38-40 on the season with four games left to play. Because the Bulls own the tie-breaker over Indiana, they held onto the No. 7 spot in the Eastern Conference, but were just half a game in front of idle Miami and again in danger of missing the postseason if performances like Tuesday’s continue.

“You just look at the numbers on the glass,” coach Fred Hoiberg said. “That tells you everything you need to know.

They just had their way with us. One guy beating three guys to the ball, [outrebounded] 53-36 overall, we were careless with the ball, 15 turnovers. That’s not how you win games.”

The first two quarters were evident of that.

It had that look of bad February Bulls basketball from the start, as defense seemed to be an option rather than a requirement.

New York put 29 on the Bulls in that

10 PGA TOUR: THE MASTERS

Day bares emotions: ‘I feel a lot lighter’ VIEWS Jim Litke

AUGUSTA, Ga. – Jason Day spoke candidly and emotionally for 40 minutes.

Very little of it was about golf – yet one more reminder that when it comes to athletes’ personal lives, we’re not in Kansas anymore.

The No. 3 player in the world arrived at the Masters this week with the health of his mother, Dening, weighing heavily on his mind.

Her battle with lung cancer became public almost two weeks ago when Day walked off the course six holes into his opening match at the World Golf Championship. He explained afterward that doctors in his native Australia, where Dening still resides, told her she might have less than a year to live.

But as Day settled in behind a microphone Tuesday at Augusta National, he had nothing but good news to report. He didn’t even wait for the question-and-answer session to begin.

“My mom, she went through a successful surgery on her left lung, and she was told by the doctor, don’t have to do chemo, which is really, really exciting stuff,” he began. “Obviously, we have to be cautious because the first two to three years are very, very important. ...

“I’m very, very pleased and very, very happy with how things have progressed from the start of the year to now,” he added a moment later. “And I feel kind of a lot lighter in a sense, in that my mind is not weighing very much heavily on the situation that my mom was going through. So to be able to have that happen and then be able to come here and get my mind off things is quite nice.”

Day smiled throughout his opening statement. He thanked everyone he could think of for all the well wishes that rolled in the past two weeks: family, friends, peers, fans, sponsors – even the reporters gathered in the interview room.

He knows how fortunate he is and said so more than a half-dozen times, not only because Dening’s prognosis has turned 180 degrees, but also because he has the resources to fly her to the U.S. and arrange for the best medical care available.

“I know that we take it for granted,” he said about his profession.

“We’re very, very selfish and we need to be selfish with our time to try and get better at our craft. But sometimes

Jason Day (left) greets staff employees Daniel Barefield (center) and Mike Bennett, who wish him good luck, outside the clubhouse at Augusta National after his Masters practice round Tuesday in Augusta, Ga. when it comes to family, family has to overcome anything else, obviously golf and other things that you’re worried about.”

Think back 20 years. Athletes speaking frankly about family matters was rare. We made a fuss over Phil Mickelson carrying around a beeper in case he had to bolt the 1999 U.S. Open and fly cross-country if wife Amy went into labor.

“I have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity,” Mickelson said then. “The U.S. Open is played every year. If that beeper goes off, I’m out of here.”

Not only does the technology of that time seem quaint, but now, because they’re connected to fans via social media and marketing campaigns a thousand times more sophisticated, athletes can choose how and when and even what to share in the public space.

A week after the WGC event where Day withdrew, Gary Woodland explained his own absence on Twitter, revealing he and pregnant wife Gabby “had to cope with the heartbreaking loss” of one of the twins she was carrying.

“We appreciate all of the love and support at this difficult time as we regroup as a family,” he wrote March 29.

Only a month earlier, Woodland had announced his wife’s pregnancy and shared a photo of the ultrasound.

The announcement that followed the WGC gave him a chance to reveal some tough news on his own terms.

Two decades ago, most fans trying to find out about his absence at the WGC – Woodland, No. 36 in the rankings, is hardly a star on the order of Day – would have searched a website or the agate column in the newspaper and seen nothing more explanatory than “DNP” (did not play) alongside his name.

Instead, like Day, Woodland’s very personal family story unfolded in a context he was comfortable discussing.

In Day’s case, the prospect of a happy ending seemed to generate momentum of its own. The more frankly he spoke about preparing for and playing one of the most important events of his professional life in the wake of the news about his mother, the more

reporters drew him out.

“One more question about your mom,” a reporter asked. “A lot of people during Masters week are casual fans who don’t know your whole backstory. Can you describe a little bit about ... your mom’s role is in making you a pro golfer?”

“Yeah, this could be a long one,” Day began.

He talked about his father dying of cancer when Day was only 12, how his mother took out a mortgage on their home and borrowed enough money to send him to a golf academy seven hours away, and how a coach he met there named Col Swatton – who remains his caddie to this day – turned him around and taught him to play golf. The story couldn’t have been much sweeter.

“With that said,” Day concluded, “I owe her everything.”

Thanks for sharing.

DES PLAINES – The Bears’ leader on defense is a bit slimmer these days.

Outside linebacker Pernell McPhee, who was named the team’s winner of the Ed Block Courage Award, said he is 25 pounds lighter and looking “sexier” as he gets ready for the 2017 season, his third with the Bears.

“I’m doing great right now,” said McPhee, who had offseason shoulder surgery after missing the entire offseason program in 2016 coming off knee surgery. “I can do just about anything that I did before anything happened, but it’s definitely been a process.”

McPhee accepted his award, one that is voted on by teammates and organized by the athletic trainers, player representatives and team captains, Tuesday at Maryville Academy.

It “symbolizes professionalism, great strength and dedication.”

“The training staff, peers, and it just tells about a lot I had to put in to overcome a lot of things, and it shows how much respect the guys have for me,” McPhee said.

The Ed Block Courage Award benefits the Ed McCaskey Scholarship Fund, which donates to high school, college and vocational scholarships for the children at Maryville.

“He’s been a leader,” Bears chairman George McCaskey said of McPhee.

“People talk about when you lose somebody like (Brian) Urlacher there’s a leadership void, and I think Pernell’s done a great job of filling that void.

He’s fiery. He’s talented. I wish he had

been in better health, but he’s working on that, trying to get back and ready to help us in 2017.”

McPhee was general manager Ryan Pace’s first big free-agent addition in 2015. He played in 14 games that season with 12 starts and had 53 tackles, six sacks and an interception but was limited in the second half of the season by a knee injury.

In 2016, McPhee began the season on the physically-unable-to-perform list before returning to play in nine games.

He had 16 tackles and four sacks.

McPhee would not confirm he would be at OTAs, which begin May 22 for the Bears. Their offseason training program begins April 18. He is expected to be a much more active participant this spring and summer than he was in 2016.

“It’s going to be dangerous because, obviously, last year wasn’t a great year, and the year before wasn’t one, so now hopefully by me losing weight, staying focused, we can turn this around,” he said.

While McPhee is losing weight – something he credited to not eating after 7 p.m., only drinking water at night – OLB Leonard Floyd is putting on weight for next season, and McPhee is looking forward to seeing what the two can do together rushing the passer.

“I’ve talked to [Floyd], just told him to get his weight up,” McPhee said.

“He’s a ‘dog,’ I know he’s a dog. He’s a humble kid and a great person, so just get his weight up and be ready to work this offseason and going into training camp and be ready to have a dominant second year.”

ON THE COVER Passover Chocolate Tart With Chocolate Chip Crust Recipe on page 4

The Washington Post Last summer, Alexandria, Virginia, homebrewer Larissa Hanpeter had an idea for a new beer combining two of her favorite things: a hoppy IPA and the flavor of Earl Grey tea. She took Twinings tea leaves and painstakingly smelled and tasted them next to a number of hop varieties and eventually dry-hopped the 5-gallon batch with both hops and tea.

“I had no idea if it was going to be really great or if it was going to be a miss,” she said.

Thankfully, Girl Grey IPA was good.

Good enough, in fact, to win a contest sponsored by Wisconsin brewers Mobcraft and Girls Pint Out, a national organization for female craft beer lovers.

In January, Hanpeter flew to Milwaukee, where she brewed a 30-barrel (930-gallon) batch with Mobcraft’s brewers.

“I didn’t just show up and stand around,” Hanpeter said. The pros told her: “You’re the brewer, it’s your recipe.

Tell us what you want to do.”

Girl Grey IPA is a delightful beer for spring, with familiar aromas of bergamot and lemon from the tea leaves – the final version includes organic Earl Grey

Jewish cookbooks take bloom in the spring

By BONNIE S. BENWICK

If the author never produces another cookbook – and we hope that’s not the case – you would think she had been saving the best for last.

The Washington Post

As sure as crocuses and daffodils push through in spring, you’ll find a crop of Jewish cookbooks designed to help with Passover meals. Here’s a brief look at some notables this season:

“Matzo: 35 Recipes for Passover and All Year Long”

By Michele Streit Heilbrun and David Kirschner; Clarkson Potter; March 2017; $15

“King Solomon’s Table: A Culinary Exploration of Jewish Cooking From Around the World”

By Joan Nathan; Alfred A. Knopf; April 2017; $35

It seems that all the scholarship and experience of beloved and acclaimed Washington author Joan Nathan culminate in “King Solomon’s Table,” her 11th book. Nathan makes a convincing case that the story of Jewish cuisine begins with traders who made their way from Judea to India during Solomon’s reign in the 10th century B.C., and she charts many of the subsequent culinary routes herself, connecting the likes of cheesecake and stuffed cabbage eaten in diverse lands.

One dives into “King Solomon’s Table” knowing the notes accompanying each recipe will be as enriching as the dishes themselves – a testament to

the author’s prowess as a culinary historian and chronicler of Jewish cooks.

Who knew that Jewish food fairs in America date back to just after the Civil War? That chopped liver originated in the 11th century in what is now Alsace-Lorraine in France? That Jewish physicians were the reason Romans overcame their fears of eating tomatoes and eggplants in the 1700s?

The book’s simple and inviting food photography is on par with its content.

With five generations of matzoh makers in her family, co-author Michele Streit Heilbrun offers passion and tender memories in the slim recipe collection”Matzo.” Folks who always keep the bread of affliction on hand, or derivatives such as farfel and matzoh cake meal, will be familiar with the recipes for granola, “pizza” and matzoh crunch. But they’ll also find ways to matzoh up chilaquiles, fried chicken and the Roman Passover fritters called pizzarelle. The book is matzoh sheet-sized and appropriately dimpled on the cover, which makes it a cheeky gift to match a Seder host’s matzoh-patterned napkins and yarmulkes.

“Fress: Bold Flavors from a Jewish Kitchen”

By Emma Spitzer; Mitchell Beazley;

April 2017; $35

“Fress,” the knockout debut cookbook from Emma Spitzer, a 2015 finalist on Britain’s “MasterChef” show, seamlessly blends Ashkenazic and Sephardic culinary heritage.

Cooks who are game enough to gather amchur (mango) powder, dried barberries and the Middle Eastern spice blend baharat will be rewarded with a spectacular yet unfussy zucchini and labneh dish, a beautiful buckwheat salad and a new flavor profile for roast chicken.

Spitzer is a Brighton-born travel business entrepreneur who now caters and teaches cooking classes in England. In “Fress” (“to eat copiously and without restraint,” as translated from Yiddish on the book’s cover), her voice is that of a home cook privileged to be a part of the new food world order, acknowledging her Russian roots, her mother-in-law’s Israeli feasts, British celebrity chef John Torode and cookbook author Claudia Roden.

There’s a touch of Yotam Ottolenghi in the book’s images – vegetables that look lush and savory on the plate.

Props to the styling team, who make even beef-stuffed artichokes look handsome.

y late mother baked only at Passover. She mostly used kosher-for-Passover box mixes, and I remember the brownies fondly. I waited all year for the wonderful aroma of cakes rising in the oven.

On this eight-day Jewish holiday, which begins sundown April 10 this year, those who observe its dietary restrictions do not eat any foods made from wheat except for matzoh, and that prohibition includes oat, rye, barley and spelt. For generations, Passover desserts got a bad rap because bakers had only matzoh flour and potato starch at their disposal, which imparted what came to be known as the “Passover taste.” Not a good thing.

Well, an entire industry is now devoted to Passover desserts. Yet I find the store-bought holiday selection generally lacking – and, let’s face it, I’m a baker.

Thanks to a growing array of suitable ingredient alternatives, I can tell you it’s possible to bake Passover desserts that are just as good as the ones I make the rest of the year.

When I started experimenting with pie crusts for this holiday in 2011, people said, “Who needs pie for Passover?” My response: Every day is a good day for pie.

With these recipes in hand, there’s no reason to settle for old-school Passover treats.

1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional) For the filling 4 cups fresh blueberries, stemmed and rinsed 1/2 cup granulated sugar, plus 1 teaspoon for sprinkling 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest (from 1 lemon) Dash salt 3 tablespoons potato starch

For the crust: Combine the ground almonds, confectioners’ sugar and potato starch in a food processor; pulse for 10 seconds to blend. Add the frozen butter, coconut oil or margarine pieces; process until the mixture resembles coarse sand.

Add the water, egg yolk and vanilla extract; process just until a dough comes together, being careful not to over-mix. Gather into a ball and flatten, then break off a little more than one-third of the dough. Wrap both pieces of dough separately in plastic wrap and flatten into disks. Chill in the freezer for at least 2 hours, or up to overnight.

Remove the larger piece of dough from the freezer and let it defrost until you can press it gently. Place on a piece of parchment paper sprinkled with confectioners’ sugar. Sprinkle the top of the dough with some more confectioners’ sugar and cover with a piece of parchment. Roll the dough into a 10-inch round. Peel back the top parchment and sprinkle confectioners’ sugar on the dough as you roll. Once or twice, flip over the package of parchment and dough, peel off the bottom and sprinkle some more confectioners’ sugar on top. Re-cover with parchment and flip back over.

Remove the top parchment. Place your hand under the bottom parchment, lift the dough and invert it into the pie pan. Use your hands to gently press and fit the dough to the pan. Remove the remaining parchment (which is now on top). Use a knife to trim the dough, then patch up any bare or thin spots, and use a fork to prick the dough in several places. Reserve any dough scraps for additional cutouts that will form the top crust. Cover the pie shell with plastic wrap and freeze until you’re done with the filling, or up to several days.

Roll the reserved scraps between two pieces of parchment to a thickness of about 1/3 inch thick, then remove the top parchment and cut out the shapes. Unwrap the remaining piece of dough (from the freezer) and repeat the same step to make more dough cutouts; you’ll need a total of about 20. Place them on a lined baking sheet and freeze until firm.

For the filling: Make sure there are no stems on the blueberries. Place 3 cups of them in a stain-proof mixing bowl. Use a potato masher or large fork to break them down a bit. (Be careful not to make them too soupy.) Add the sugar, cinnamon, lemon zest, salt and potato starch, stirring to incorporate. Gently mix in the remaining cup of berries.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Remove the bottom pie crust shell from the freezer and place on top of a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone liner. Spread the filling evenly in the pie crust shell. Remove the dough cutouts from the freezer; use a thin metal spatula to transfer them one by one on top of the filling, in a decorative pattern that does not completely cover the filling.

Use a pastry brush to brush the remaining egg white over the dough cutouts atop the pie, then sprinkle the remaining teaspoon of granulated sugar all over. Bake (bottom rack) for 55 minutes to 1 hour, or until the top crust cutouts are golden and the filling is bubbling. (If the edges of the cutouts or edge of the pie seem to be getting too brown before the pie is done, crimp aluminum foil loosely over them.)

Cool for at least 1 hour before serving or storing.

16 tablespoons (2 sticks) unsalted butter, margarine or coconut oil 3 cups ground almonds (may use almond meal or almond flour; see headnote) 1½ cups ground walnuts 1½ cups ground hazelnuts (skin-in or skinned) 1 cup potato starch or tapioca starch 1/2 cup granulated sugar, plus 1½ teaspoons for sprinkling 1 cup confectioners’ sugar, plus more for dusting 1 cup raspberry jam 1 cup apricot or other favorite jam 1 large egg white, beaten, for brushing Use cooking oil spray to grease a 12-by17-inch rimmed baking sheet (including its sides) with some oil and press in a piece of parchment paper large enough to cover the bottom and up the sides. Grease the top of the parchment as well.

Place the butter, margarine or coconut oil in the bowl of a stand mixer or handheld electric mixer; beat for several minutes on high speed until soft and fluffy, stopping to scrape down the bowl once or twice. Add the ground almonds, walnuts and hazelnuts, potato starch or tapioca starch and the 1/2 cup of granulated sugar; beat on low speed to form a dough.

Transfer a little more than half the dough to the lined baking sheet. Use your hands to press the dough into the bottom to cover

and up the sides. I find it easiest to press the dough into the sides and corners first with my fingers and then I use the palm of my hand to press dough to cover the pan bottom. If needed, take a little extra dough from what you separated out to cover the bottom. Place into the freezer.

To the smaller piece of dough in the bowl, add the 1 cup confectioners’ sugar and mix in; the easiest way is to use your hands or the mixer. Shape into a ball and flatten. Do not worry if the dough is crumbly. Cover in plastic and place in the freezer for 45 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Remove the pan from the freezer. Bake (middle rack) for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the crust just starts to color. Let cool until the top crust

dough in the freezer is ready to be rolled out.

Take a piece of parchment paper and sprinkle with some confectioners’ sugar. Place the chilled dough on top, sprinkle with more of the sugar and cover with another piece of parchment. Roll on top of the parchment to roll the dough to a thickness of 1/3 inch in the shape of a rectangle as best as you can.

Every few turns with the rolling pin, lift up the top parchment and sprinkle a little more confectioners’ sugar on top of the dough so that it does not stick. Use a knife or pastry wheel to cut the dough into 12 to 14 one-inch strips. Slide the parchment and cut strips onto a separate baking sheet; freeze them for 10 minutes so they firm up.

Position the baking sheet on the countertop

This recipe is not gluten-free, but is for all the Passover bakers out there who are feeding people with nut allergies. Pure vanilla extract has alcohol and is not permitted on Passover. You can find an imitation vanilla, which is pretty good.

For the crust: Preheat the oven to 350

Ingredients are too variable for a meaningful analysis.

so that a long side is parallel with the edge of the counter. Use a small spoon to scoop up some raspberry jam and starting at the left, spoon 4 clumps of jam from the top to the bottom at 2-inch intervals, then use the back of the spoon to spread the jam evenly down that row to make about a 1½-inch vertical row of jam. Use another spoon to scoop up 4 clumps of apricot jam and drop at intervals to the right of the first row of jam and use the back of the spoon to spread the jam evenly down that row. Repeat with the raspberry jam and then alternate rows so that you have stripes of jam alternating in colors. Use up all the jam.

Remove dough strips from the freezer and use a long metal spatula or big knife to lift up and place the strips diagonally across the top of the jam-filled crust first on one angle and then the other to create a lattice look. Place all the strips in one direction an inch or two apart and then place the others in the other direction. Do not try to bend the strips back to make a perfect over and under lattice. Trim the dough at the ends and press into the sides of the crust in the pan. Brush the strips with the beaten egg white and sprinkle with the remaining granulated sugar.

Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until jam is bubbling and the crust is golden brown. Let it sit for a few minutes before serving.

By THE CULINARY INSTITUTE OF AMERICA The Associated Press

Let’s get this out of the way early: you don’t need a Passover brisket recipe, because you will never make one that is better than your grandmother’s, and you wouldn’t even try.

But maybe you’re hosting dinner for friends that happens to look a little like a Seder, and you want a great recipe that will never ever live up to that other brisket you love unconditionally (wink wink). Luckily, this recipe for Red Wine Braised Brisket is perfect for any dinner party, or weeknight, for that matter.

Brisket comes from the breast of a cow, and usually is sold in one large piece or broken down into two smaller cuts, the flat and the point. It’s notoriously tough, and you’ve likely had a piece that is bone-dry and bland. But done right, the thing that can make a brisket undesirable is really what makes it so good.

Brisket falls into a category of meats that shine when cooked low and slow. That can include smoking at low temperatures, a leisurely oven-roast or a long and flavorful braise. Braising is a great choice because the cooking liquid imparts flavor into an otherwise bland cut of meat.

The red wine in our marinade, which eventually becomes your braising liquid, works not just to flavor the brisket and sauce, but also to tenderize. The acidity in wine breaks down proteins, so make sure to give it enough time to really do its work. Once it cooks together with the tomato paste and beef broth, the wine flavor will mellow and it will be the perfect combination of savory, salty and just a little sweet.

After braising, the brisket is rubbed in persillade, a mixture of chopped parsley, garlic, oil and other seasonings. It is often combined with bread crumbs (or matzoh) and used as a crunchy, colorful coating for meat and fish.

By now, you’re probably starving, and we haven’t even told you the best thing about this recipe. Not only is it delicious and amazing, but like most braises, this brisket is going to taste even better if you make it ahead of time.

That means that on the day of your dinner, all you have to do is gently reheat it, cover with the persillade (which you can also make ahead), and give it a quick bake to warm through. That’s basically ten minutes of work, leaving you plenty of time to explain yourself to your grandmother.

Red Wine Braised Brisket Servings: 10 Start to finish: 11 hours 15 minutes (Active time: 45 minutes)

3 to 4 pounds beef brisket, fat trimmed

Red Wine Braised Brisket AP photo

2 cups dry red wine 4 cloves garlic, chopped 1 small onion, chopped 2 carrots, chopped 2 stalks celery, chopped 1 teaspoon black peppercorns, cracked 1 teaspoon thyme leaves 2 to tablespoons vegetable oil 1/4 cup tomato paste 3 cups low-sodium beef stock Persillade (recipe follows) Roasted Cippolini Onions (recipe follows) Place brisket in a sealable plastic bag or in a large shallow baking dish. In another bowl, combine wine, garlic, onion, carrots, celery, peppercorns, and thyme. Pour mixture over brisket, cover (or seal). Turn the bag a few times or stir the mixture to thoroughly coat the meat. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Remove the brisket from the marinade and pat dry with a paper towel. Reserve about half of the marinade. Pat beef dry.

In a large heavy-bottomed saucepan or Dutch oven, heat the oil over high heat until wisps of smoke appear. Place dry brisket in pan and sear on all sides until golden brown, then transfer to a plate.

Reduce the heat to medium-low and pour off the fat. Add the tomato paste and cook until the color deepens and appears rusty, about 4 minutes. Add the reserved marinade and use a wooden spoon to scrape any brown bits from the bottom of the pan.

Return the brisket to the pan and add stock (you may not need all of the stock. The braising liquid should come about 1/3 of the way up the brisket).

Bring to a simmer, cover, and place in preheated oven. Braise until meat is tender, about 1½ hours. (Test meat for doneness by piercing with a roasting fork. If fork enters meat without resistance and brisket easily slides off, the meat is done.) Transfer the brisket to a foil-lined baking sheet and set aside.

Skim any fat from the cooking liquid. Carefully transfer the braising liquid to a blender and process until smooth. If remaining sauce is too thick, add additional stock; if it is too thin, simmer over medium heat until it has reduced. Season with salt and pepper, to taste and set aside.

Sprinkle the persillade over the cooked brisket and gently pat down to adhere. Return to the oven and bake until the persillade is lightly golden brown, about 10 minutes.

Slice the brisket into thin slices and serve with the sauce and roasted vegetables.

Persillade Servings: 10

2 cups matzo meal 1 cup flat-leaf parsley leaves, finely chopped 1 clove garlic, crushed 1/2 cup olive oil In a bowl, combine the matzo meal, parsley, garlic and oil. Toss to combine and set aside until needed.

Roasted Cipollini Onions Servings: 10

2 tablespoons olive oil 10 garlic cloves 1 pound Cipollini onions, peeled 1 teaspoon kosher salt 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1/2 teaspoon chopped thyme Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. In a large bowl, combine the oil, garlic, onions, salt, and pepper, and toss to coat. Spread into a baking dish or roasting pan and cover with foil.

Cook until the onions begin to soften, about 10 minutes. Remove the foil, stir the onions, and return to the oven.

Roast until the onions are translucent, very tender, and lightly browned around the edges, about 30 minutes.

Cat “Maxie” Gray

A quotation sometimes attributed to Voltaire is: “Each player must accept the cards life deals him or her; but once they are in hand, he or she alone must decide how to play the cards in order to win the game.”

Perhaps “to try to win the game” would have been more accurate.

There are times when your cards are just not good enough to win.

Today’s deal gives two players, East and South, chances to make good plays. What should happen in four spades after West leads the heart king?

North’s rebid showed a balanced 18 or 19 -- or a poor 20 -- points with at least one heart stopper. If South had raised to three no-trump, it would have “ruined” the deal.

South has three red-suit losers, with possible problems in each black suit if the cards are distributed badly.

East can see three defensive tricks: two hearts and one diamond. The fourth will have to come from the trump suit. So, after East wins the second heart, what should he do?

If East immediately leads a third heart, South should discard his inevitable diamond loser. But if East defends better, cashing the diamond ace before playing the third heart, declarer will have to ruff high. Then he has to draw trumps without losing a trick.

Given the 2-6 heart split, West rates to be longer in spades than East. So, South should cash his second high spade. Here, the 10 drops from East. Now declarer should continue with a spade to dummy’s eight. This finesse is a strong favorite to work.

When a defender is hoping for a trump promotion, he should try to cash every side-suit trick first.

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