Good morning, McHenry County ...

Online commenters breed in the dark Nails in the parking lot of Bob Anderson’s Wonder Lake barber shop? Assassination threats against McHenry County Board Chairman Jack Franks on a local blog? How ridiculous.

Many of us are trying to raise kids around here, and I’m still trying to decide whether it’s a blessing or a curse that we have so many socalled adults to point to as examples of how not to act. This is embarrassing.

Sometimes following local politics here involves peeking at local blogs, although I personally try to avoid the comments section as much as possible because they’re often teeming with obsessed malcontents who really need to find more constructive things to do with their keyboards and their time.

Volunteer at a local food pantry. Assist an elderly neighbor. Read some books. Stream a bad TV show. Repaint the bathroom. Cleaning your aquarium would be more worthwhile.

While I don’t necessarily fault the bloggers themselves, these commenters seem to thrive in these less mainstream online environments like foot fungus in an old pair of Nikes.

As a whole, we give these people, who lack the guts to state who they really are, far too much attention. Just stop and think for five seconds about the character of a person who will maliciously attack another person and hide behind a screen name and explain why anyone should care what they have to say about anything.

Although I’ve also been personally attacked along with pretty much anyone who wears a public face in this county, I don’t believe my life has ever been threat-

FROM THE EDITOR’S DESK Kevin Lyons ened, in a joking way or otherwise, and I’m not trying to minimize the threats themselves or police investigations into those threats.

What happened to Jack Franks and Bob Anderson clearly crossed the line from just ill-mannered, creepy internet behavior into the criminal realm. But what kind of space have we created to foster that behavior? Why are we allowing the rhetoric to rise to a level that anyone thinks those kinds of comments or actions are OK? Also, what kind of decent, honest people who want to make a difference in our communities want to subject themselves to that kind of public abuse? Certainly people with more backbone than any keyboard cowards.

Realizing that hyper partisanship has blasted many people light years from a rational perspective on anything remotely political, we can still crank it down several notches to the point where we agree that ad hominem attacks on local politicians whom we happen to disagree with are out of bounds.

Let’s work on that and self-police when we have to. We’re supposed to be the grown-ups.

TODAY’S TALKER Gay couple seeks equal fertility access

HONOLULU – Sean Smith and his husband paid more than $20,000 for a fertility procedure when they decided to have a child using a surrogate mother. They did not know at the time that if they were a heterosexual couple, they might have saved that money.

Now, Smith and other members of Hawaii’s lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community are lobbying for equal access to the financial help married, heterosexual couples enjoy under state law.

They are pushing legislation that would require insurance companies to cover in vitro fertilization for more couples, including making Hawaii the first state to require the coverage for surrogates, which

would help male same-sex couples who must use a surrogate.

“Now that marriage equality is the law of the land and is accepted, now let’s turn to family building, and let’s figure out how we fix all these inequities that exist,” said Barbara Collura, president and CEO of Resolve, a national organization that advocates for access to fertility treatments.

Hawaii is one of eight states that require insurance companies to cover in vitro fertilization, a costly procedure where a doctor retrieves eggs from a woman, combines them with sperm from a man and then implants an embryo into a woman’s uterus.

PRIORITIZING SCHOOLS

Union-backed slate of candidates could shape policy in District 155

By BRETT ROWLAND

browland@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – A slate of three union-backed candidates could help shape policies in Community High School District 155 for years to come.

Last week, voters picked Ron Ludwig, Nicole Pavoris and Jason Blake – along with incumbent David Secrest – to fill four openings on the district’s seven-member board.

Ludwig, Pavoris and Blake ran together on a slate supported by the

political arm of the District 155 Education Association, the union that represents district employees, including teachers.

Secrest, who has been on the board for 16 years, was elected to a fifth four-year term.

In a crowded field of nine candidates competing in a high-interest race, the union slate came out on top. A slate of four candidates who vowed to cut property taxes – Donna Kurtz, John Pletz, Raphael Kamner and Scott Vetter – failed to capture a single seat on the board. The

other incumbent in the race, Ann Somers, ended Tuesday with the fewest votes, 2,633, or 6.67 percent of the 39,461 ballots cast in the contest, according to unofficial election results.

Ludwig – a 53-year-old teacher of science, technology, engineering and mathematics curriculum at South Elementary School in Crystal Lake School District 47 – was the top vote-getter, finishing Tuesday with 6,036 votes, or 15.3 percent of the total.

Ludwig has been with District 47

for 27 years, including 18 years as principal of Hannah Beardsley Middle School.

He said Tuesday’s election shows that voters don’t want lower taxes if it would hurt schools.

“People with a vested interest – whether it be kids or grandkids – recognize the importance of schools as far as their property values go,” he said. “They came out and voted and said, ‘We have a darn good school district.’ ”

CARY

Meyer Material Co. to start using dredge Mining activity underway at gravel pit off Route 31

By HANNAH PROKOP

hprokop@shawmedia.com CARY – Activity is expected to start up again at the Meyer Material Co. gravel pit off Route 31 in Cary.

A floating dredge, which the Village Board approved in a 4-3 vote in November, is on-site and expected to start dredging Monday, Cary Community Development Director Brian Simmons said.

Residents and trustees who opposed the dredge had concerns about the sound from the machine, and wheth-

er Meyer Material, which has merged with Lafarge Aggregates, would stick to the new deadlines.

The ordinance that will allow Meyer Material to use the dredge states that it can run from 7:30 a.m. Monday through 7:30 p.m. Saturday. Mining must be completed by December, according to the ordinance, with restoration finishing six months later.

“A lot of the dredging work they’re doing out there is underwater,” Cary Interim Village Administrator Jake Rife said. “We’re expecting this to be a pretty quiet operation with minimal impact to the adjacent property owners.”

In May, the Village Board rejected Meyer Material Co.’s request for a three-year extension on mining activities at its site after comments from neighboring residents who had spoken against the extension at several meetings.

Cary Park District to host decades of dresses fashion show

CARY – The Cary Park District will host an afternoon of ladies fashions and a luncheon from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. April 21

said.

Part of the ordinance included the village receiving $25,000 to pay for noise monitoring consultants. Once the dredge starts operating, Simmons said noise on-site will be recorded and monitored to make sure the sound levels are in compliance with the ordinance.

At the Oct. 20 meeting of the Cary Board of Zoning, Planning and Appeals, board members heard from acoustics consultant Thomas Thunder, who presented an acoustics study that determined the sound of the dredge would be “minimally audible” from 11 p.m. to 4 a.m., and the rest of the time, it would be lower than ambient noise in the area.

Project updates can be found at www. caryillinois.com/580/Lafarge-Meyer-Material-Updates. Residents should direct any complaints to Village Hall, Rife said.

Police investigate after American Legion post sign is knocked down Official: Replacement could cost more than $3K

By JORDYN REILAND

jreiland@shawmedia.com LAKE IN THE HILLS – Police are investigating why a sign at the Lake in the Hills American Legion Post 1231 was ripped from the ground and knocked down earlier this week.

Members of the veterans group arrived at the building, 1101 W. Algonquin Road, to find the nearly new sign that stands at the entrance completely destroyed. Post Adjutant Jack Kamin said the group believes a driver struck the sign sometime between 10:30 p.m. Monday night and 6 a.m. Tuesday.

• D-155

Continued from page A3 Pavoris, 46, of Cary is a U.S. history and economics teacher at Larkin High School in Elgin.

She wants to see the district put more emphasis on career-readiness over Advanced Placement courses.

She said she wants the district to offer classes specifically targeted at students who want to become nurses.

She said Tuesday’s election confirmed that voters want strong schools.

“People realized it,” she said. “They want to put schools first.”

Blake, 45, of Crystal Lake said he’ll bring his financial experience to the board. He works as a chief financial officer for a trade association.

Blake also said he believes the board’s role is to hold the administration accountable.

Although he Nicole Pavoris was supported by the union, Blake said he’s already told the union to expect some disagreement.

“I told them I don’t think we’ll see eye to eye on everything,” he said.

Secrest, 72, will be the longest-serving member when the new board is sworn in.

He said he will bring continuity

Kamin said the sign was only up for a few months before it was struck this week. The sign cost the group about $2,500 because it already had certain materials. Although they still are waiting for an estimate, a replacement sign could cost more than $3,000, Kamin said.

He said that although he doesn’t know what happened that night, he wishes someone would at least come forward and explain.

“We feel it’s pretty disrespectful for someone to do that to this kind of a club,” he said. “We help the community, and the community decided to knock our sign down.”

This isn’t the first time the group has dealt with damage to its property.

Kamin said five or six years ago a semitrailer fell in the post’s front yard after

“We feel it’s pretty disrespectful for someone to do that to this kind of a club.”

The Lake in the Hills Police Department is continuing to investigate the incident. Anyone with information is encouraged to call the department’s nonemergency number at 847-658-7908 or send tips anonymously at www.lith.org/ police/webform/crime-tips.

“Voters rejected the notion to cut taxes at any cost. No one wants higher taxes, but people understand there is a cost involved in having good schools.”

David Secrest

incumbent Community High School District 155 Board member who has been on the board for 16 years and was elected to another four-year term

and experience to the board. He said it took him at least four years to learn the complexities of school code and funding issues when he first joined.

Secrest said he was pleased with the results of the election.

“Voters rejected the notion to cut taxes at any cost,” he said. “No one wants higher taxes, but people understand Jason Blake there is a cost involved in having good schools.”

Devin Hester, president of the District 155 Education Association, said the union first endorsed school board candidates in the 2015 election.

At that time, it was clear the community was ready for a change in leadership after a protracted battle over

the construction of bleachers at Crystal Lake South High School.

Hester said the union’s goal was to find candidates who shared the same values as its members.

“We have a vested interest in the long-term health of the district,” he said. “No one has more to lose than us.”

He said the union expects all school board members to listen and make decisions with academic excellence and fiscal responsibility in mind.

Both Blake and Ludwig said they have family members who are employed by the district.

Both said they would recuse themselves from decisions involving family.

District 155 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, it serves 6,500 students taught by 376 teachers with an annual budget of about $97 million.

OPEN DAILY FOR LUNCH AND DINNER

By KIANNAH SEPEDA–MILLER The Associated Press

SPRINGFIELD – Kara Bland’s 2010 Chevy Malibu still had temporary plates when police seized it for a crime she did not commit. She loaned it to the father of her daughter, who was arrested after picking up someone who had marijuana on him.

For six weeks, Bland took her 6-year-old daughter to school on a Chicago city bus and relatives helped her run errands before a judge released the car on bond. It took nine months to officially regain ownership and cost her $1,000.

“They intentionally try to make this process as difficult and confusing as they can ... so that people will eventually give up,” she said.

Bland, 24, was a victim of a contentious practice that allows law enforcement to seize vehicles, cash and other property thought to be connected to a crime, and to profit from it. The plight of innocents whose property is seized has helped fuel a flurry of legal changes throughout the country that seek to limit such police powers.

Since 2014, 19 states and the District of Columbia have altered some aspect of their forfeiture laws. Twelve states now require a criminal conviction to formal-

Advocates file complaint in disabilities consent decree

CHICAGO – Attorneys have filed a federal complaint alleging that the state of Illinois is not fulfilling its commitment to fund disability services as required by a 2011 consent decree, saying that a refusal to increase reimbursement to providers has caused a dramatic deterioration in the care of those with developmental disabilities.

Equip for Equality and the American Civil Liberties Union of Illinois said in a statement that the state’s decision to freeze the pay of providers for nearly a decade has forced homes and facilities to dramatically reduce the size of their staffs, which has left them unable to do little more than keep residents safe. They say an independent monitor consent decree has found the state has not complied with the 2011 de-

Illinois’ current forfeiture standard risks providing some law enforcement agencies with an “unfettered piggybank,” said state Sen. Don Harmon, an Oak Park Democrat who is sponsoring the current legislation. In addition to

requiring a conviction before property could be permanently confiscated, the bill would reduce the financial incentive by channeling forfeited assets toward funding social services and specific law enforcement programs through grants.

“This is an extraordinary use of government power,” Harmon said. “If it’s not used judiciously, it’s a real over-

cree for the past two years and are seeking to force the state to do so.

“People – who are supposed to be integrated into the community – are instead isolated and segregated,” according to the statement, adding that staffing levels made regular trips out of their facilities impossible. “Instead of living full integrated lives, many of these class members are suffering enormous hardships, including social isolation ... and in many instances, anxiety and depression.”

“Our patriotic veterans did not fight in the rice paddies of Vietnam or the bone-chilling cold of Korea to protect Indiana citizens’ right to be protected from ‘annoyance,’ ” said a statement from its national chairman, Jim Nalepa.

Patriotic Veterans president Paul Caprio said the group places automated calls in 35 states. The calls are meant to influence public policy on issues “that matter to veterans and other voters.”

U.S. Supreme Court urged to overrule Ind.’s robocall ban

The nonprofit said the more important principle of First Amendments rights is at

University of Illinois names new federal lobbyist

CHAMPAIGN – The new federal lobbyist for the University of Illinois is a Capitol Hill veteran who’s worked for the Peace Corps and congressional committees.

Paul Weinberger has been named director of federal relations for the three-campus school. The Champaign News-Gazette reported that the 46-year-old attorney will earn $170,000 and be based in Washington. Formal approval by university trustees is expected next month, although Weinberger already is on the job.

reach.”

According to a 2016 report from the American Civil Liberties Union of Illinois and the conservative Illinois Policy Institute, law enforcement here collects about $30 million in forfeited property annually that they are not required to report publicly. The proposed changes would require law enforcement agencies to openly catalog what they seized and why.

Law enforcement advocates say civil forfeiture is about more than raising funds. It’s a way of undercutting criminal enterprises by seizing the cash they use to operate, said Howard Williams, a former police chief who now teaches at Texas State University and wrote a book about forfeiture.

“You cripple their ability to operate,” he said.

The Illinois Association of Chiefs of Police opposes the new legislation in its current form, fearing it would essentially end the practice, said association lobbyist John Millner, Elmhurst’s former police chief and a former state senator.

The Illinois State Police declined to discuss specifics, but like the police chiefs, a spokesman said the agency is working with the proposal’s sponsors to ensure it would protect innocent property owners but not hamstring officers’ ability to deter criminal activity.

The university receives nearly $800 million in research funding from the federal government. President Donald Trump’s administration has proposed cuts to student financial aid and other programs.

Jonathan Pyatt left the lobbyist’s job in 2015 and now is chief of staff for Democratic U.S. Rep. Cheri Bustos of Illinois.

Exhibit to highlight Aurora’s involvement in World War I

AURORA – A new exhibit in downtown Aurora will honor the city’s involvement in World War I. The Beacon-News reported that local historians are pulling together more than 80 artifacts for an exhibit that will open Memorial Day. The items include the mess kit of an Aurora soldier, uniforms, a doctor’s bag, a diary and propaganda posters.

Visitors also will be able to enter an 18foot reproduction of a trench.

The exhibit comes as the U.S. marks the 100th anniversary of the country’s entry into the war. Historians said more than 3,600 people from Aurora joined the military during the war.

Trump advisers: U.S. seeks to fight IS, oust Syria’s Assad

By HOPE YEN

The Associated Press WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump’s national security adviser on Sunday left open the possibility of additional U.S. military action against Syria after last week’s missile strike but indicated that the U.S. was not seeking to act unilaterally to oust Syrian President Bashar Assad.

In his first televised interview, H.R. McMaster pointed to dual U.S. goals of defeating the Islamic State group and removing Assad. But he suggested that Trump was seeking a global political response for regime change from U.S. allies as well as Russia, which he said needed to re-evaluate its support of Syria.

“It’s very difficult to understand how a political solution could result from the continuation of the Assad regime,” McMaster said. “Now, we are not saying that we are the ones who are going to effect that change. What we are saying is, other countries have to ask themselves some hard questions. Russia should ask themselves ...why are we supporting this murderous regime that is committing mass murder of its own population?”

After last Tuesday’s chemical attack in Syria, Trump said his attitude toward Assad “has changed very much” and Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said “steps are underway” to organize a coalition to remove him from power.

But as lawmakers called on Trump to consult with Congress on any future military strikes and a longer-term strategy on Syria, Trump administration officials sent mixed signals on the scope of U.S. involvement. While Nikki Haley, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, described regime change in Syria as a U.S. priority and inevitable, Tillerson suggested that last week’s American airstrikes in re-

Russia and Iran affirm their commitment to Syrian government

BEIRUT – Russia and Iran renewed their support for the Syrian government in a flurry of calls Sunday, saying last week’s U.S. missile strike violated Syrian sovereignty but failed to boost the morale of “terror groups” in Syria.

In a phone call with Syrian President Bashar Assad, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani called the strike Friday a “blatant violation” of Syrian sovereignty, Syrian state media reported. Assad accused the U.S. of trying to boost the morale of “terror groups” in Syria.

The government refers to all those fighting against it as terrorists.

The Kremlin said in a statement Rouhani also spoke with Russian President Vladimir Putin by phone.

“Both sides noted the inadmissibility of aggressive U.S. actions against a sovereign state in violation of international law,” the statement said. “Vladimir Putin and Hasan Rouhani spoke in favor of an objective, unbiased investigation of all the circumstances of the chemical weapons incident on April 4 in the Syrian province of Idlib.”

–Wire reports

taliation for the chemical attack hadn’t really changed U.S. priorities toward ousting Assad.

Pressed to clarify, McMaster said the goals of fighting IS and ousting Syria’s president were somewhat “simultaneous” and that the objective of the missile strike was to send a “strong political message to Assad.”

Trump seeks GOP consensus on taxes

By JOSH BOAK and STEPHEN OHLEMACHER The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump has scrapped the tax plan he campaigned on and is going back to the drawing board in a search for Republican consensus behind legislation to overhaul the U.S. tax system.

The administration’s first attempt to write legislation is in its early stages and the White House has kept much of it under wraps. But it has already sprouted the consideration of a series of unorthodox proposals including a drastic cut to the payroll tax, aimed at appealing to Democrats.

Some view the search for new options as a result of Trump’s refusal to set clear parameters for his plan and his exceedingly challenging endgame: reducing tax rates enough to spur faster growth without blowing up the budget deficit.

Administration officials say it’s now unlikely that a tax overhaul will meet

the August deadline set by Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin. But the ambitious pace to figure out a plan reflects Trump’s haste to move quickly past a bruising failure to broker a compromise within his own party on how to replace the health insurance law enacted under President Barack Obama.

The White House is trying to learn the lessons from health care. Rather than accepting a bill written by the lawmakers, White House officials are taking a more active role. Administration officials have signaled that they want to pass tax legislation with only Republican votes, yet they’ve also held listening sessions with House Democrats.

White House aides say the goal is to cut tax rates sharply enough to improve the economic picture in depressed rural and industrial pockets of the country where many Trump voters live. But the administration so far has swatted down alternative ways for raising revenues, such as a carbon tax, to offset lower rates.

Trump has not said which trade-offs he might accept and he has remained noncommittal on the leading blueprint, from Rep. Kevin Brady, chairman of the Ways and Means Committee. Brady, R-Texas, has proposed a border adjustment system, which would eliminate corporate deductions on imports, to raise $1 trillion over 10 years that could fund lower corporate tax rates.

But that possibility has rankled retailers who say it would lead to higher prices and threaten millions of jobs, while some lawmakers have worried that the system would violate World Trade Organization rules. Brady has said he intends to amend the blueprint but has not spelled out how he would do so.

Other options are being shopped on Capitol Hill.

One circulating this past week would change the House Republican plan to eliminate much of the payroll tax and cut corporate tax rates. This would require a new dedicated funding source

for Social Security.

The change, proposed by a GOP lobbyist with close ties to the Trump administration, would transform Brady’s plan on imports into something closer to a value-added tax by also eliminating the deduction of labor expenses. This would bring it in line with WTO rules and generate an additional $12 trillion over 10 years, according to budget estimates. Those additional revenues could then enable the end of the 12.4 percent payroll tax, split evenly between employers and employees, that funds Social Security, while keeping the health insurance payroll tax in place.

This approach would give a worker earning $60,000 a year an additional $3,720 in take-home pay, a possible win that lawmakers could highlight back in their districts even though it would involve changing the funding mechanism for Social Security, according to the lobbyist, who asked for anonymity to discuss the proposal without disrupting early negotiations.

Paul Ryan, who shuns hardball, seeks win after health care loss

By ALAN FRAM

The Associated Press WASHINGTON – House Speaker Paul Ryan needs a win after the collapse of his health care bill. Achieving that won’t be easy for the 47-year-old leader, whose ascent as a Republican heavyweight has been marred by an embarrassing flop on the most momentous legislation he’s ever handled.

Last month’s unraveling of the health care legislation, thanks to conservative versus moderate battles that still rage, tarnished Ryan’s reputation as the leader who could unite a fractious GOP. Next come tax and spending fights as fraught as the party’s stymied attempt to dismantle President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul.

“I don’t know that the Lord himself could unite our caucus,” said Rep. Mike Simpson, R-Idaho.

Ryan, R-Wis., will need all the clout he can muster to succeed with those upcoming bills and with continuing attempts to resurrect the health care legislation. He cannot afford another reversal without risking further erosion of his own power, although no one says his hold on the speakership is in imminent jeopardy.

“He’s got to show movement, either on health care and-or other issues,” said former Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott, R-Miss. Lott said the health care retreat “makes it harder, but it makes it also more important that they get these other things done.”

House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., discusses the Republican agenda during a news conference March 30 on Capitol Hill in Washington. Ryan needs a win after the collapse of his health care bill. Achieving that won’t be easy for the 47-year-old, whose ascent as a Republican heavyweight has been marred by an embarrassing flop on the most momentous legislation he’s ever handled.

House leaders plan to focus on a bill preventing a late-April government shutdown and on a plan to revamp the federal tax system. Guiding them will be Ryan, the 2012 GOP vice presidential nominee. He was pressed into the speaker’s job in 2015 as a telegenic star who appealed to all segments of the party, replacing the ousted Rep. John Boehner, R-Ohio.

Fast forward to now.

Republicans have yet to heal from the events of March 24, when Ryan abruptly canceled a House vote on the health care bill because opposition from both wings of the party would have sunk it. The retreat wounded President Donald Trump and Ryan, who along with other Republicans, long made repealing Obama’s 2010 law a campaign pledge – only to lay an egg three months into uncontested GOP

control of Washington.

“It was not a good day, I totally agree with that,” Ryan said in an interview last week.

There was plenty of blame all around, raising questions about how the party will band together on its upcoming agenda. Key will be Ryan’s relationship with Trump, which seems functional after a presidential campaign that saw Ryan criticize Trump’s comments about Hispanics and women.

Trump and moderates blame the hard-line House Freedom Caucus for resisting a health care compromise.

Conservatives accuse Ryan of not consulting them early as he drafted the bill and not cracking down on recalcitrant moderates. Trump pressed GOP leaders to move quickly, in the end prematurely, in search of an early legislative triumph over solid Democratic opposition.

“The president wanted us to get it going,” Ryan said. “There was a desire to get an aggressive timetable. We wanted to meet that aggressive timetable.”

Ryan said that going forward, “It means we have to talk things out much, much, much more thoroughly.”

Lott and others don’t fault Ryan.

They say the episode illustrates the depth of GOP divisions, the stubbornness of the Freedom Caucus and how little sway leaders have over today’s 237 House Republicans – drawing sympathy even from Democrats.

“There are days I feel bad for him,” Rep. Jim McGovern, D-Mass., said of Ryan.

NEW ORLEANS – Judging by the current empty lots, it’s hard to imagine the Lower 9th Ward before Hurricane Katrina – a bustling neighborhood where African-American residents knew their neighbors, built their homes with their own hands and shopped at black-owned stores along St. Claude Ave. Katrina largely put an end to all that, nearly wiping the community from the map in 2005. Nearly 12 years later, even as other neighborhoods in the city have bounced back, the hurricane’s destruction here still is evident. Overgrown lots where houses used to be serve as dumping grounds for tires and abandoned furniture. Raccoons and possums have been spotted in the tall grass and bushes.

The neighborhood is “the only area [in the city] where you can still see Katrina,” said Burnell Cotlon, owner of the Lower 9th Ward Market, one of the few post-Katrina commercial additions to the neighborhood. “It breaks my heart.

We need to make the Lower 9th Ward catch up with the rest of the city.”

The New Orleans Redevelopment Authority has launched an effort to do just that. Under the government-run agency’s auspices, four developers will convert 175 properties into single-family houses and duplexes, mostly as rentals aimed at bringing people back into the community. One developer, Habitat for Humanity, began construction in February on the first of its properties.

Officials and some residents are hopeful the project will mark a turning point for the Lower 9th Ward.

“It will make us whole again,” said longtime resident Ronald Lewis. “These empty lots and empty houses need to be filled.”

But some have concerns: They fear rentals aren’t the best fit for an area that

was once a bastion of African-American homeownership. They also worry about the quality of the new housing and say not enough effort has been made to bring back residents forced out by the storm.

Others say they weren’t included in the planning process.

Willie Calhoun, a lifelong resident and a reverend at one of the neighborhood churches, wishes the developers were building more homes for sale. His parents built their home in the Lower 9th Ward in the 1950s and his brother still lives there. Fortunately, the family was able to rebuild after the house took on about 20 feet of water during Katrina.

But Calhoun is acutely aware that others did not have the means to rebuild, and he says he is “concerned now about where is the community headed.”

“Will there ever be any semblance of what was once there?” he asked.

Laura Paul heads lowernine.org, a nonprofit group that works with families who fled during Katrina and now want to return home. She agrees with Calhoun: Instead of facilitating rental units, Paul said, the Authority should be doing everything it can to help the original property owners move back into homes in the neighborhood, perhaps with financial incentives like those being offered to the developers.

“Those properties used to belong to my clients,” she said.

Redevelopment authority officials said they had no preference for rental units or houses for sale when they put their proposal out to bid. It was the developers who made that choice, they said – a reflection of market dynamics and the city’s stark need for more rentals after housing prices skyrocketed in Katrina’s wake.

The properties were purchased mostly from previous homeowners who decided not to rebuild after Katrina, the officials said.

Rebuild underway in Lower 9th Ward

When a train jumped the tracks this past week at New York’s Penn Station, the seemingly minor accident led to a cascade of exasperating delays for hundreds of thousands of commuters.

When a flood forced authorities to condemn a one-lane, century-old bridge in rural Ozark, Missouri, it was no less frustrating for the residents and business owners cut off from their shortest route into town.

The two episodes highlight a reality about the U.S. transportation system – it is aging, congested and so vital that when things go wrong, big and costly disruptions can result for which there is no quick fix.

Although President Donald Trump has promised a $1 trillion infrastructure-rebuilding program, not all of that may go toward transportation.

Even then, it would fall well short of the many trillions needed to fix the country’s web of roads, bridges, railways, subways and bus stations.

The commuter train in New York derailed because of a weakened railroad tie. No one was seriously injured.

But the incident shut down eight of the station’s 21 tracks, disrupting Amtrak service in the Northeast from Boston to Washington, as well as delaying commuter trains in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut for the better part of a week.

Business meetings were canceled, ballgames, dinners and doctor’s appointments missed, and commuters fumed.

Lawyer Dominic Boone, who travels into New York from New Jersey,

complained that because he arrived late to the office and had to leave early to catch a different train, he lost 10 hours of work for which he could have billed clients.

“They should have been working on Penn Station forever ago,” Boone said. “As a nation, we should be spending more on our crumbling infrastructure.”

The disruption was only a brief example of the frustration travelers could face if the region can’t find a way to replace a pair of deteriorating, overcrowded, century-old rail tunnels that run under the Hudson River and connect New York and New Jersey.

The tunnels, which were severely damaged in Superstorm Sandy in 2012, could cost more than $20 billion to replace. But the money has yet to be lined up. And construction, whenever it begins, may take more than a decade.

The Penn Station derailment came less than two weeks after another one there, caused by a misaligned track.

And it happened just days after motorists in Atlanta were forced to begin taking long, bumper-to-bumper detours because a fire collapsed an Interstate 85 overpass linking the city to some of its biggest suburbs. Arson – not aging steel and concrete – is suspected there. It could take until midJune to repair the highway.

Earlier this year, a cracked steel beam forced the closing of a major bridge between Pennsylvania and New Jersey for 1½ months.

Improving the nation’s roads and bridges would require $120 billion a year through 2020, according to a recent U.S. Department of Transportation estimate.

Somalia army chief survives car bomb that kills 13

By ABDI GULED

The Associated Press MOGADISHU, Somalia – Somalia’s new military chief survived a suicide car bomb attack Sunday only moments after he was sworn in with a mandate to launch a new offensive against Islamic extremists. Thirteen people were killed in the attack.

Gen. Mohamed Ahmed Jimale had just been sworn into office and was traveling in a convoy with senior military officials when the bomb exploded near Somalia’s defense ministry compound in Mogadishu, police said.

Five soldiers and at least eight civilians traveling in a passing minibus were killed, said Capt. Mohamed Hussein, a senior Somali police officer.

Somalia’s Islamic extremist rebels, al-Shabab, claimed responsibility for the attack.

A huge cloud of smoke billowed over the scene, and heavy gunfire was heard in the area. The wreckage of the minibus destroyed by the powerful bomb was in the street, with a pool of blood under the vehicle. Burning debris littered the scene.

Soldiers fired in the air to disperse a crowd standing near a car of an electricity company that was destroyed by

Somalia’s new military chief, Gen.

“What happened here was a painful tragedy – the blast struck two packed minibuses and no one survived,” said Abdifitah Halane, a spokesman for Mogadishu’s mayor.

Active Seniors Stay Strong SPONSORED BY

By Gina Kraman Watch children run for the sheer joy of moving.

Theydon’texercisetoloseweight,lowercholesterol, or stave off depression. For them, it’s just fun.

Effortlessly, they are achieving health goals.

Forsomeseniorcitizens,movingandexercising may be anything but joyful. Arthritic knees, stiff fingers, heart problems, and overall weakness can sideline people who know they should be moving, but feel they can’t. Less active seniors are more prone to falls, as they’ve lost muscle strength and coordination to avoid accidents.

The National Institute on Aging (NIA) encourages daily physical activity, citing it can increase health benefits while reducing the risk of developing some age-related diseases and disabilities. Suggestions include brisk walking, raking leaves, taking the stairs when possible, swimming, or checking out an exercise video or CD from the library.

“To get all the benefits of physical activity, try all four types of exercise, including endurance, strength, balance, and flexibility,” the NIA advises.

“Endurance activities, such as walking for 10 minutes daily, build your energy or ‘staying power.’ Strength exercises build muscle, allowing you to get up from a chair by yourself, and lift your grandchildren. Keeping your muscles strong makes falls less likely,” the NIA says.

“Do activities to help your balance, such as standing on one foot, then the other, without holding on to support yourself. Get up from a chair without using your hands or arms. Every now and then, walk ‘heel-to-toe,’ by putting the heel of one foot just in front of the toes of the other foot, without touching.”

The NIA also recommends flexibility activities including stretching arm and leg muscles to stay limber. “Start slowly, and don’t hold your breath during strength exercises, which could cause changes in blood pressure.”

“There is flesh and blood everywhere,” he said, looking at the destruction caused by the blast.

Behind the minibus wreckage, a bereaved woman wept and called out the name of a man presumed to be her hus-

band in the vehicle.

The bomb gave an explosive start to Jimale’s term as the chief of the Somali National Army. He was appointed Thursday by President Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed who declared Somalia a war zone. The president, who was elected in February, replaced his military and intelligence chiefs and instructed the army to prepare a new offensive against al-Shabab extremists.

Mohamed also replaced the country’s police chief and Mogadishu’s mayor.

The shake-up is an attempt to improve the worsening security situation as al-Shabab, allied to al-Qaida, steps up deadly bombings in the capital.

The Somali-American president gave al-Shabab members a 60-day amnesty period to surrender and join the government side.

He said the government will focus on the security of the capital first, then the rest of Somalia. A car bomb blast last Wednesday at a Mogadishu restaurant killed at least seven people.

The changes come roughly a week after the Trump administration approved greater U.S. military authority to pursue al-Shabab, including more aggressive airstrikes as parts of southern Somalia will be considered areas of active hostilities.

Allergies SPONSORED BY

April showers not only bring May flowers, but also misery for millions who suffer from allergies.

A recent study reported that more than 50 million Americans suffer with watery eyes, itchy skin, runny noses and persistent coughing and sneezing from allergies.

The long winter spent indoors doesn’t help, especially since the air you’re breathing might not be the cleanest. Mold, ragweed, tree pollen, contaminants from pets and more all can be nightmarish for people, especially those most susceptible to such allergies. That includes the elderly population, many who have weaker immune systems.

You should talk to your primary physician about allergies. Plenty of medications are available to provide some relief. For seniors who are encountering allergies for the first time, it may be best to see a specialist, especially to reduce the risk of sinus and respiratory infections. Aging has a way of changing one’s body and those changes can amplify the effect

allergies have and can make simple, everyday living difficult.

What else can be done to avoid allergies?

You don’t want to be so overcome with fear that you isolate yourself indoors. Don’t shun the beauty that spring offers. Plus, the fresh air and physical exercise is extremely beneficial.

What you’ll want to do is get the allergens off your skin. That means washing or showering after spending a lot of time outdoors.

If you have man’s best friend keeping you company, don’t let them become your enemy because they’re the home of pollen and other contaminants. Bathe them frequently.

Keep your home clean. That means washing your bedding sheets at least weekly.

If you’re blessed to reside at a retirement community such as Hearthstone Communities, you don’t have to worry about mowing which can spark allergies with the clippings. If you’re still mowing, wear a mask and wash yourself thoroughly afterward.

make the accident happen.

Tusk has denounced the accusations as absurd, saying at first they could be attributed to Kaczynski’s deep grief, but later calling them a “nasty” and “cynical” ploy for power by a party without any other political ideas.

Even in 2014, when Tusk still was prime minister and Kaczynski led the opposition, he said, “What Jaroslaw Kaczynski is doing with the catastrophe is already a problem for the whole state.”

Along with his brother and sister-in-law, a Jaroslaw large swath of the ruling Kaczynski elite died in the crash, including the head of the central bank and the army’s chief of staff. That a patriotic president was on a mission to honor an atrocity inflicted by Moscow only deepened a sense of continued Polish suffering because of Russia – a country that Jaroslaw Kaczynski has called “cursed earth.”

“I lost a twin brother,” Kaczynski, now 67, said months after the disaster.

“You need to have one to understand what kind of loss that is.”

While his loss elicited widespread sympathy, Kaczynski’s opponents have grown extremely critical of what they,

like Tusk, see as a cynical use of the tragedy for political gain.

Anti-government protests will take place on the sidelines of Monday’s state ceremonies. Opponents said they also will protest the country’s overall political direction, which they decry as anti-democratic.

The Polish government, now 17 months in power, has come under international censure for steps that have eroded the system of checks and balance on the government. While Kaczynski holds no government post, he widely is considered the real power behind both the prime minster and president, whom he both chose.

The main anti-government protest, which is being organized by civic rights group Obywatele RP, will rally in defense of constitutional freedoms and against “an emerging Catholic-nationalism in Poland, which we see as very close to fascism,” said Pawel Kasprzak, one of the organizers.

Since the Law and Justice party took power, a new investigation into the plane crash has been launched, which cost $900,000 alone in 2016, leaving an opposition party to ask state auditors to review whether the expense is justified. But government officials said the concerns are real and they must press on.

WARSAW, Poland – It’s been seven years since Poland lost its president in a plane crash in Russia. His twin brother, who effectively runs the Polish government today, remains in mourning, only wearing black suits and black ties in public – and determined to punish those he blames for the crash.

The identical and inseparable Kaczynski twins, Lech and Jaroslaw, were in the Polish public eye for half a century – childhood actors, then advisers to President Lech Walesa, then rising to become president and prime minister simultaneously.

Tragedy struck when President Lech Kaczynski died in a plane crash April 10, 2010, along with his wife and 94 others, many of them top members of Poland’s political and military elite.

They were flying to an airport near Smolensk, Russia, to pay tribute to about 22,000 Polish officers killed in the Katyn massacres by the Soviet secret police during World War II. Poland will mark the anniversary of the crash Monday with state observances.

Seven years later, Jaroslaw Kaczynski still thinks many questions surrounding the crash need to be an-

swered, not the least by Russia, which has refused to return the wreckage and the plane’s flight recorders, and Donald Tusk, the then-Polish prime minister who now is one of the European Union’s top officials.

Kaczynski has used his position as leader of the ruling Law and Justice party to direct state bodies to try to debunk official findings that the crash was an accident. Early on, Polish investigators concluded the crash was an accident resulting from several factors, including pilot error and heavy fog.

His supporters, often Catholic and generally older, see Kaczynski as a brave defender pursuing the truth. Opponents see him as a dangerous promoter of conspiracy theories for which no evidence has ever surfaced.

The continuing quest also is deepening Poland’s isolation in Europe, evident last month when the government’s objections to the re-election of Tusk as president of the European Council failed.

Kaczynski accuses Tusk and his allies of not doing enough to clarify all facts surrounding the crash and of failing to ensure proper security for the flight of a president who was in an opposing political camp.

Some of his accusations have been strong, of Tusk somehow colluding to

ANOTHER VIEW

Sequels are always worse The last time the United States held a constitutional convention was in 1787. That one turned out pretty well. The next one could have far more doleful results. And the nation is much closer to convening such a convention than many people realize.

It would take the votes of 34 state legislatures to call a constitutional convention to order. A majority of legislatures already have voted to do so. Such calls remain valid indefinitely - until 34 states have joined in a particular cause or the states rescind their appeals. Therefore we congratulate Maryland’s House of Delegates, which on Tuesday rescinded its call for a federal constitutional convention decades after approving it. Same to Nevada’s Senate, which voted, also Tuesday, to rescind a resolution in that state.

But a number of states have recently passed or are close to passing measures calling for a convention.

The possibility mostly was dormant from the 1980s until a few years ago, when some blue states began calling for a convention to undo the Supreme Court’s Citizens United ruling and conservative groups began pressing red-state legislatures to pass convention resolutions on a variety of pet causes, including a balanced-budget amendment. Though each state might have a single issue in mind, once a convention is convened its delegates would not be bound to any particular issue. Gun control could be banned entirely - or its constitutional limits loosened; gay marriage could be eliminated - or the Equal Rights Amendment could be passed. Though it seems unlikely the required three-fourths of states would approve major changes drawn up at a runaway convention, it is already amazing that so many states have taken the initial step of calling for one.

It is not even certain that three-fourths of the states would have to approve the convention’s work for it to become the law of the land, as the Constitution currently prescribes. The 1787 constitutional convention ditched preexisting ratification rules; who is to say a 2018 convention could not? In fact, nearly everything about this powerful process would be uncertain. Convention rules, which would be written ad hoc, could be manipulated to favor one party, region or interest group over another.

Minority protections, so central to the Constitution’s guarantees, could be trampled upon. Sparsely populated states could impose their will on the majority of Americans who live in densely populated ones.

Many of us can point to one constitutional provision or another that we believe we could improve upon if given a chance. But a convention could do great damage to a charter that, on balance, has worked pretty well for a pretty long time. To take such a risk on behalf of a stupendously unworthy cause such as a balanced-budget amendment would be foolhardy in the extreme.

AMENDMENT

IT’S YOUR WRITE The longest nose

To the Editor: Liars lair: Reagan (Iran-Contra); Nixon (“I am not a crook”); Carter (Hamas meeting); Clinton (“I did not have sex with that woman”) Bush (weapons of mass destruction); Obama (“Combat in Iraq will end in 2010”); Trump (“Obama was not born in U.S.”; “Obama wire tapped me.”). A history of President Pinocchio’s.

Appears, at this point, that Trump will trump all his predecessors when he exists his presidency with the longest nose. We all can thank the Republican and Democratic parties for the gridlock and falsehoods they have so generously showered on the American people while they accomplish absolutely nothing.

Ron Erdmann Spring Grove

Roskam is unavailable

To the Editor: The AHCA Bill has failed and as Americans we should rejoice in that awful legislation not becoming law. But what did we learn in the process? We learned the GOP has no ideas when it comes to health care, that they will only look out for the extremely wealthy, and, most importantly, we learned Rep. Peter Roskam (R-IL06) cares nothing about his constituency. During the time this major legislation was being discussed, Rep. Roskam made sure he was unavailable to meet with people from his district to obtain their views and needs, he sent one tweet out and his office voicemail always was full so as to not receive calls. Rep. Roskam doesn’t work for us. He

works for himself and the big corporate money that got him elected. We need to look to new leadership in the IL-06th and we need to start looking now to defeat him at the next election in 18 months!

Thanks to Climate Lobby

To the Editor: I want to express the appreciation of our McHenry County Chapter of Climate Lobby for the recent publication of the conservative Climate Leadership Council’s idea of a Carbon Tax and Rebate.

Resolutions to rising global temperatures induced by carbon fuel use should not be a partisan matter. It’s important to further the discussion toward a near-term solution that conservatives embrace the issue as has the Climate Leadership Council. The proposal should be seriously heeded by our senators and representatives as it comes from respected conservative leaders.

We hope this proposal will break the partisan logjam over addressing solutions that can both address humankind’s overuse of carbon fuels and trigger an economic and jobs renaissance based on alternative, cleaner energy technologies. Already, price mechanisms are favoring sources such as wind and, particularly, solar. This is an economic and environmental position the U.S. should seize upon and not let pass by.

By ANA SWANSON The Washington Post

There are many potential sources of conflict between the world’s two largest economies. But President Donald Trump has forecast that his meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping would be a “very difficult one” for a particular reason: Trade deficits.

Trump has long has been focused on the trade deficit, the excess of imports over exports, as a sign of failing U.S. competitiveness abroad. In the past, he has proposed a variety of trade-related fixes, including protective measures like taxes on foreign imports.

But that strategy is unlikely to lessen the U.S. trade deficit with China, and it could actually backfire, economist Michael Pettis says. Pettis, a professor at Peking University and a senior fellow at the Carnegie Institution who is one of the leading voices about global imbalances in the flows of trade and capital, says that the U.S. trade deficit is a problem – but not for the reasons that Trump, Bernie Sanders and other critics seem to think. The key, Pettis says, is that the trade deficit is due to a deeper problem, which is imbalances in the flow of international investment. In his view, this is an issue that China could fix, but which the United States is ultimately powerless to do much about.

I spoke with Pettis on April 5 about Xi’s visit and the debate over the trade balance.

This interview has been edited for length and clarity.

Ana Swanson: We’ve seen varying opinions on the trade deficit of late. The Trump administration has emphasized that bilateral trade deficits are bad for the U.S. But there are many other economists who say bilateral trade deficits aren’t a good metric to focus on.

Michael Pettis: They’re not.

Swanson: So is the U.S. trade deficit with China something to be concerned about?

Pettis: Yes. The problem is that the

debate over whether the deficit is a good or bad thing is pretty sterile. The answer, as it is in most questions in economics, is maybe. It depends on the underlying conditions. There are times when running a trade deficit is positive for growth, and there are times it is negative.

It is a bad thing for the U.S. currently.

The Trump administration is the first that has put the trade deficit at the center of its policies, but complaints about trade have existed for a while and they are legitimate.

The problem is they are being addressed the wrong way. That’s because people are looking at flows in trade, when the cause is really flows in capital.

The thing you have to remember is the balance of payments [the total value

of payments into and out of a country] by definition balances to zero. So if you run a trade surplus, which means you export more than you import, like China does, you must also run a capital account deficit, which means more money leaves your country than comes in. In that case, money is coming in through the trade account and leaving through the capital account. Of course, the opposite is also true. If you run a trade deficit, like the U.S. does, money leaves through the trade account and comes back in through the capital account.

If you run a surplus on one account you must run a deficit on the other.

If you are a developing country, and you have insufficient savings to fund your investment needs, then you want to run a trade deficit and bring in foreign capital.

The U.S. in the 19th century ran a trade deficit, which it needed to do, because as a developing country it needed huge infrastructure spending, and American savings were too low to finance it. In that case, the U.S. trade deficit was positive for growth, because it meant English capital was coming into the U.S. And that meant American investment could expand without significantly cutting into American consumption.

Of course, when you have high investment and high consumption, you’re going to have a trade deficit.

Swanson: So what is the situation like today?

Pettis: This is still the pattern, but the

U.S. is no longer a developing country, and it’s no longer constrained by savings.

If you want to make an investment in the U.S. today, there are many reasons you might not be able to make it, but never because of lack of capital. So why would the U.S. run a capital account surplus today?

Because its capital markets are completely open, and other countries have forced up their savings, because that gives them an advantage in trade.

There are two ways to become more competitive in trade. The first is to become more productive, but that’s hard and no one does that. The other way is just effectively to cut wages, which both Germany and China did. Germany did this through the so-called Hartz reforms, which weakened the bargaining power of the unions.

In China, this happened mostly through interest rates, which were negative in real terms for decades. Because the Chinese don’t have a social safety net, they have to save a lot, and if you have a negative interest rate, the value of their savings goes down. In both cases, households ended up earning less money, they consumed less, and as a result the country ended up saving more. Thanks to open capital markets, these countries exported their excess savings. Germany exported them to peripheral Europe, and China exported them to the U.S.

DEAR ABBY My boyfriend and I have been Jeanne together off and Phillips on for more than two years. We have been in a long-distance relationship the entire time. I live in California, and he lives in the Midwest. I’ve been trying to get him out here because I have a job I love, and he could easily get a job in his sector out here.

His issue is that this area has “too many people and is too fast-paced” for him. I’m not sure what to do. I don’t want to quit my job and move there. Finding a job there wouldn’t be easy since construction is not booming as much. What do I do? – Long-Distance Dating Dear Long-Distance: I don’t think you should give up a job you love in an environment you enjoy on the chance this two-year relationship might become permanent. If it goes nowhere, where does that leave you? It’s time to ask yourself whether you really want to tie your future to someone who prefers a different way of life.

Dear Abby: My son has his master’s degree in international relations, so he travels to places I will never see. He’s in Italy now, and he asked me what I would like for a souvenir. I said I wanted his memories.

I asked him to get a bag and put in it menus, train tickets and bar napkins, and to jot down at night on hotel stationery what he did, saw, how the weather was. I asked him to mention anything different or unusual and collect coasters, valet stubs, anything that would help him share his experiences with me when he gets back.

I said that when we go through all the stuff, I will get my vicarious thrill then – better that than some “tchotchke” I’d have to dust. Good idea? – Proud Mom In Florida Dear Proud Mom : Great idea! As the years go on, those “memory joggers” will let you both relive the adventures he’s having now, and they will become increasingly precious. I know it from experience.

Dear Abby: I am sure this issue affects many people, but I have not seen it addressed in your column. Oftentimes married partners are separated by many years in age. Eventually the older of them has to enter a long-term care facility due to a mental/physical defect.

Even though the bond and love that kept them together over the years still exists, the younger still has physical and emotional needs that can no longer be met by the older spouse.

What are the ethics in the younger one having a “friend with benefits” to address those needs? –

READER NOTICE:

Last month, my wife and I were playing online at bridgebase.com against robots (computer-controlled opponents). We had a very rare occurrence, bidding to six hearts on three consecutive deals. Each was interesting, starting with the one in today’s diagram.

I like strong jump shifts to the two-level, but keep them narrowly defined. The responder has either a strong one-suiter or a good two-suiter (opener’s suit and the suit in which responder jumps). In principle, the point range is 12-16: sufficient to insist on game, but asking opener to decide on slam.

Look at the North hand. Given that introduction, assuming you open one diamond, what would you rebid after partner responds two hearts?

I was not fond of rebidding three diamonds with such a weak suit. If partner had a heart one-suiter, my queen-doubleton was acceptable support. I might have rebid two notrump to see what partner did (but that would have promised 15-plus points in our system because we use the weak-no-trump opening that shows 12-14 points). At the time, I bid three hearts.

Now partner rebid four diamonds, which I thought was at least fourcard support. Since we seemed to have a good double fit, I control-bid five clubs. This persuaded my partner to jump to six hearts. Understandably, she expected me to have better diamonds.

West led the club three: ace, eight, 10. Immediately, declarer played two rounds of diamonds.

West, guided by partner’s unwise club-eight signal, led another club, so we made the slam.

One other pair bid (and made) six hearts after North passed, and South opened two clubs!

HEBRON – McHenry senior Colton Klein plans on playing football and baseball at whatever college he chooses to attend next year.

Klein served a reminder Sunday that he is quite proficient at basketball, as well.

The Away team chased the Home most of the game, trailing by as many as 16 in the Colton Klein third quarter. Then Klein’s McHenry teammate, Matthew Mohr, hit a rebound basket and a 3-pointer before the Away turned things over to Klein.

The 6-foot-3 forward scored his team’s final 12 points, including three free throws with 2.3 seconds remaining, to lift the Away to an 87-86 victory in the boys game at the McHenry County Area All-Star Basketball Extravaganza at Alden-Hebron’s Tigard Gymnasium.

“We knew we were down and needed to get some shots,” Klein said. “We got on the fast break, and I got open and was feeling it a little bit. It was a great experience.”

The only lead the Away held until the final two minutes was at 5-4. Klein’s 3 with 2:00 remaining gave the Away a 7877 advantage and sparked a thrilling finish. The lead changed hands on the next three shots, with Home going up, 82-80, on a 3 from Richmond-Burton’s Blaine Bayer.

Klein hit a jumper at the free-throw line, then Jacobs’ Cooper Schwartz hit a 3 with 40 seconds to go to make it 85-82.

Klein again scored inside, and Harvard’s Eric McDowell was fouled for the Home team and made one free throw for an 8684 lead.

Klein then was fouled on a 3 and made all three free throws. The Home called timeout and threw long to Jacobs’ 6-foot-9 Cameron Krutwig, who turned and shot a 3 at the buzzer, but was just long.

Klein led the Away with 26 points.

Marian Central’s Jack Moscinski added 11, and Mohr had nine points and a game-high 13 rebounds.

“It was fun to compete,” Klein said.

“The last five minutes felt like a real game. The crowd made it a great atmosphere.”

Marengo coach Nate Wright coached the Away team, which scored 31 points in the fourth quarter.

John Konstantaras for Shaw Media

McHenry’s Matthew Mohr drives under the basket in the second half of the boys all-star game Sunday at Alden-Hebron. Mohr’s Away team won, 87-86.

“It’s a great group of kids, not only great at basketball, but they get along well and enjoyed the game,” Wright said.

“Colton just got hot, and everybody gave him the ball and got out of his way.”

Cary-Grove’s Zach Beaugureau led the Home team with 17 points and hit five 3s. Bayer, McDowell and Johnsburg’s Dan Kelly all added nine. Kelly hit three 3s in his torrid third quarter.

Jacobs coach Jimmy Roberts coached the Home team and saw a similarity to the last time he coached. Schwartz hit an overtime 3 to put Jacobs ahead of Fremd in the Class 4A Sears Centre Supersectional in Hoffman Estates, only to have

the Vikings come back and win, 37-36.

“If Coop makes a late 3, we’re going to lose,” Roberts said. “That was a good finish. We just didn’t make a shot for a long time in the fourth quarter.”

The Away went on a 12-0 run late in the third and early in the fourth quarter, then had another 9-0 spurt to take a 78-77 lead.

Roberts put in Jacobs’ Mason Materna to throw the last inbound pass to Krutwig, using a play the two are familiar with. Krutwig had the option to catch and pass or catch and shoot.

“He could have passed, but he got a good shot,” Roberts said.

HEBRON – The Away team found a productive combination of players early, and Jacobs’ Carly Sidor was right in the middle of it.

Sidor scored on a rebound basket, hit a 3-pointer, then scored on another rebound basket. She was all over Tigard Gymnasium on defense, helping the Away to a 15-point first-quarter lead.

“We came out with a lot of energy and were excited, and we fed off of that,” Sidor said.

The Away maintained control all the way through and defeated the Home, 67-43, in the girls game of the McHenry County Area All-Star Basketball Extravaganza on Sunday at Alden-Hebron.

Dundee-Crown coach Sarah Miller, who was coaching the Away, started with her two players, Allison Michalski and Paige Gieseke, along with Sidor and her Jacobs teammate, Maggie Grady. McHenry’s Julia Rice came in

also had a big second half for the Home team, scoring 13 of her game-high 18 in the second half.

For playing an instrumental role in Away’s quick start, Sidor was selected as the game’s MVP. “She works her butt off and communicates on defense,” Miller said. “It was a privilege to coach all these girls.”

Sidor took pictures with several of her travel basketball teammates with Illinois Hoop Dreams. Sidor, Grady, Gieseke, Huntley’s Morgan Clausen, Cary-Grove’s Becca Kendeigh and Hoop Dreams coach Paul Collins all gathered for pictures.

“It was super fun,” Sidor said. “I know a lot of the girls on my team and the other team.”

Forget mph; Arrieta strikes out 10

Cubs take 2 of 3 in series ahead of home opener

CUBS 7, BREWERS 4 Chicago

By BRUCE MILES

bmiles@dailyherald.com MILWAUKEE – The radar gun might not lie, but it doesn’t always tell the whole truth.

And, truth be told, Jake Arrieta isn’t worried about it either way.

Arrieta won his second decision of the season in two starts Sunday as he and his Jake Arrieta Cubs teammates beat the Milwaukee Brewers, 7-4, at Miller Park.

The Cubs took two of three in the series as they did in St. Louis in the opening series of the season. They come home Monday night for the Wrigley Field opener.

As for Arrieta, he might not be throwing 96-, 97-, 98-mph fastballs, but he still struck out 10 Brewers while walking only two. He worked seven innings of three-hit, three-run ball to run his record to 2-0 with a 2.08 ERA. “Everybody wants to talk about this,” he said of velocity. “There are FanGraphs articles. I don’t care about that. I know that kind of stuff can come and go from time to time. I had periods last year where I was at the same spot I’m at right now. I had one in June, near the All-Star break.

“It is what it is. I still have a good feel for everything. Movement is really good.”

Most important, the command is good for Arrieta, who has 42 wins since the start of his 2015 Cy Young season.

“When the 95-97 comes back, it’s going to be tough for teams, and it still is,” he said. “Where I am now in my career I don’t worry about it because I know that I’m smart enough to work around that, and the velocity is still good enough to get it by guys and to do certain things in certain situations with it.”

Manager Joe Maddon likes this Arrieta look.

“Great command of his fastball and a really good curveball,” Maddon said. “Ten punchouts and about 100 pitches is really efficient, too. He was

The Cubs’ Kyle Schwarber gets congratulated after his home run against the Brewers in the second inning Sunday in Milwaukee. really on top of his game today. And I love the delivery. I love the command.

That’s the thing. He didn’t hit 95 or 96 or whatever, but he knew where the fastball was going. I much prefer that over velocity.”

Arrieta’s teammates staked him to a 4-0 lead in the first inning against Zach Davies by sending nine men to the plate. Addison Russell had a tworun double, and Jason Heyward followed with a two-run triple.

After a down year at the plate in 2016, Heyward is off to a 7-for-21 start.

“Just try to go up there and be aggressive in the strike zone,” he said.

“Put a good swing on the ball and see what happens after that.”

Heyward had an RBI single in the seventh and was robbed at the wall in center field in the ninth on a leaping catch by Keon Broxton, a play that prompted Heyward to tip his helmet to Broxton.

The Cubs scored 11 runs on 17 hits in Saturday’s victory. They picked up 11 hits Sunday, with more hard-hit balls than they had the previous night.

Kyle Schwarber led off the second with a home run, and Ben Zobrist homered in the seventh. The Brewers had pulled within 5-3 in the third on a three-run homer by Ryan Braun.

All in all, the Cubs will take a 4-2 road trip to start the season.

“Coming out of spring training, going to Houston for a couple of days, spending a week in St. Louis with days off and coming here and playing well, you could just see the attitude of our guys,” Maddon said. “They were definitely ready to play today on a Sunday day game, wanting to go home with winning two series. I thought we did a great job.”

White Sox starting pitcher Jose Quintana adjusts his hat during the third inning against the Minnesota Twins on Sunday at Guaranteed Rate Field.

But he looked more like the AllStar pitcher of old than the one who struggled in his first Opening Day start last week against Detroit, when he gave up six runs in 51/3 innings.

“He didn’t make mistakes really,” shortstop Tim Anderson said. “He was Quintana. He’s been doing it a

BULLS

Mirotic refuses to blame embattled Hoiberg

By JOE COWLEY

jcowley@suntimes.com CHICAGO – Nikola Mirotic had every opportunity to play the role of malcontent after Saturday’s loss in Brooklyn.

In the starting lineup, out of the starting lineup, in the rotation, out of the rotation, trade rumor, and even the humiliation of being thrown on the inactive list before a game in Boston last month.

This for a guy who will be a free agent this offseason, having Nikola Mirotic every excuse to burn a Bulls bridge that hasn’t exactly been the most accessible to him throughout the 2016-17 campaign.

Instead, Mirotic found himself trying to explain this Jekyll and Hyde roster, as well as defending Fred Hoiberg.

The second-year coach is no stranger to critics, and that was after falling

On the air Monday

Orlando at Bulls, 7 p.m., CSN, AM-890 short of making the playoffs last season. So a meltdown in this final week that would once again send the Bulls home for an early summer vacation would seemingly only turn the heat up on Hoiberg’s chair.

But Mirotic insisted that the idea of Hoiberg not having control of his locker room and the execution of his game plans – even with star players Jimmy Butler and Dwyane Wade – hasn’t been the case.

“All the guys here are listening to Fred, you know,’’ Mirotic said. “Sometimes when you’re out there playing what you think is good for the team, it’s not. Sometimes guys do things and it’s not what Fred is telling them to do.

But we’re all following the instruction of Fred, and sometimes it’s been good, sometimes not that well, but we are all trying to be on the same page.’’

Mirotic was specifically asked whether those rules also applied to the likes of Wade and Butler, and whether those two were blocking Hoiberg out at certain times, and replied, “No, I don’t think so.’’

“I’ve never seen that to be honest with you,’’ Mirotic said. “This is an emotional game, and that’s why sometimes guys do something different, but it’s not like anyone is against Fred. We are all with Fred. We are a family now, fighting for something very important.’’

That fight took a serious eight-count Saturday, as the 107-106 loss in Brooklyn put the Bulls back into a familiar dark corner of the Eastern Conference playoff race.

With Miami and Indiana each winning, the Pacers grabbed the No. 7 spot, knocking the Bulls down a notch to No. 8, and the Heat again were tied with the Bulls with the only separation being that the Bulls own the tiebreaker.

That’s why Mirotic called the two losses this past week “embarrassing.’’

Recent wins over playoff-bound Milwaukee, Cleveland and Atlanta are far too often followed with disappointing losses to the Knicks and Nets.

A trend that has been going on for two seasons now. A trend that Mirotic would like to see come to an end.

“I wish we had the answer,’’ Mirotic said. “I don’t know why this team does this. We need consistency. Once we start playing well, started beating some of the good teams, it seems like we can beat the next team easy. Brooklyn or whoever, Minnesota, it doesn’t matter. And it’s not like that. There are no easy games.

“Our last two losses are all because of us. We played kind of soft in the beginning, and we thought we were going to just win those games. Like, ‘we have time, we have time,’ but you don’t have time. You think you can just flip it on and get a game, but by then the game is basically done.

“But we still have two games to do this. That’s what matters. We’re still in the fight.’’

CHICAGO - Baseball statistics always have validated Jose Quintana’s standing as one of the game’s better pitchers.

Even before he was named to his first All-Star team last season, the White Sox left-hander boasted numbers equal to some of the game’s best pitchers.

He entered Sunday’s start against Minnesota ranked among the best American League pitchers since 2013, standing first in starts (130), third in quality starts (86) and seventh in ERA (3.39) and strikeouts (702).

He is one of six pitchers to post 200plus innings and 30 or more starts in each of the past four seasons – joining Madison Bumgarner, Cole Hamels, Jon Lester, Jeff Samardzija and Max Scherzer.

He was in the shadow of teammate Chris Sale before, but his talent never was lost in the baseball world – which is why he remains a coveted trade target despite his rocky start to this season.

Quintana has lost both his starts so far, including Sunday’s 4-1 final in the rubber game against Minnesota.

Quintana (0-2) gave up five hits over 61/3 innings and trailed only 1-0 Minnesota Chicago before Jorge Polanco homered to start ab r h bi ab r h bi the 7th.

6 GOLF: THE MASTERS

70th time the charm for Garcia

Spaniard’s long wait to win first major ends in playoff against Rose

By DOUG FERGUSON

SCORES

The Associated Press

AUGUSTA, Ga. – Sergio Garcia tugged the lapel of his green jacket with both hands, proud of his prize and how he earned it.

His hopes were fading Sunday in the Masters – two shots behind with six holes to play – when his tee shot bounced off a tree and into an azalea bush, the kind of bad luck he had come to expect in the majors. Instead of pouting, he figured out how to Leaderboard make par.

Five feet away from winFinal-round leaders: x-Sergio Garcia -9 ning, his birdie Justin Rose -9 putt peeled off to Charl Schwartzel -6 the right. UsuMatt Kuchar -5 ally resigned Thomas Pieters -5 to fail, Garcia Paul Casey -4 proved to be more resilient x-won in playoff than ever.

He was a new man with a new title: Masters champion.

Major champion.

“It’s been an amazing week,” Garcia said, “and I’m going to enjoy it for the rest of my life.”

After almost two decades of heartache in the tournaments that define careers, Garcia finally showed the mettle to win a major. He overcame a two-shot deficit against Justin Rose and won on the first hole of a sudden-death playoff.

No one ever played more majors as a pro (70) before winning one for the first time.

Garcia got rid of the demons and the doubts with two big moments on the par 5s – one a par, the other an eagle – in closing with a 3-under 69. It was never easy until the end, when Rose sent his drive into the trees on the 18th hole in the playoff, punched out and failed to save par from 15 feet.

That gave the 37-year-old Spaniard two putts from 12 feet for the victory, and his putt swirled into the cup for a birdie.

He crouched in disbelief, both fists clenched and shaking, and he shouted above the loudest roar of the day.

Rose, who also closed with a 69, graciously patted Garcia’s cheek before they embraced. Rose then tapped Garcia on the heart, which turned out to be a lot bigger than anyone realized.

“Ser-gee-oh! Ser-gee-oh!” the delirious gallery chanted to Garcia. He turned with his arms to his side, blew a kiss to the crowd and then crouched again and slammed his fist into the turf of the green.

Sergio Garcia celebrates after making his birdie putt on the 18th green to win the Masters in a playoff Sunday in Augusta, Ga. All that Spanish passion was on display, raw as ever, this time sheer joy.

“Justin wasn’t making it easy. He was playing extremely well,” Garcia said. “But I knew what I was capable of doing, and I believe that I could do it.”

Garcia became the third Spaniard in a green jacket, winning on what would have been the 60th birthday of the late Seve Ballesteros. And it was Jose Maria Olazabal, who won the Masters in 1994 and 1999, who sent him a text on the eve of the Masters telling Garcia to believe and “to not let things get to me like I’ve done in the past.”

He didn’t get down after missing a 6-foot putt on the 16th hole to fall out of the lead, or missing a 5-foot birdie putt on the 18th hole that would have won in regulation.

His chin was up. He battled to the end.

“If there’s anyone to lose to, it’s Sergio. He deserves it,” Rose said. “He’s had his fair share of heartbreak.”

This was shaping up as another, especially after Garcia watched a three-shot lead disappear as quickly as it took Rose to run off three straight birdies on the front nine.

Tied going to the back nine, Garcia immediately fell two shots behind with wild shots into the pine straw bed under the trees. Rose was poised to deliver a knockout on the par-5 13th when Garcia went left beyond the creek and into the bush. He had to take a penalty shot to get

out and hit his third shot 89 yards short of the green. Rose was just over the back of the green in two, in position to turn a two-shot lead into four.

Everyone figured this was coming, right?

Garcia himself had said, in a moment of self-pity, that he didn’t have what it takes to win a major. Four times he was runner-up. This was his third time playing in the final group. But right when it looked to be over, momentum shifted to Garcia.

He hit wedge to 7 feet and escaped with par. Rose rolled his chip down to 5 feet and missed the birdie putt. The lead stayed at two shots, and the game was on.

Garcia birdied the 14th to get within one. His 8-iron into the par-5 15th – “One of the best shots I hit all week,” he said – landed inches in front of the hole and nicked the pin, and he holed the 14-foot eagle putt to tie for the lead.

Rose took the lead with an 8-foot birdie on the 16th and gave it back by missing a 7-foot par putt on the 17th.

Not since 1998 have the last two players on the course gone to the 18th tied for the lead, and both had their chances to win. Rose’s approach hit off the side of the bunker and kicked onto the green, stopping 7 feet away. Garcia answered with a wedge that covered the flag and settled 5 feet away.

Both missed.

The playoff didn’t last long. Rose was in trouble from the start with a tee shot that sailed right, leaving him blocked by a Magnolia tree. He chipped out under the tree, hit his third shot to 15 feet and missed the par putt.

Former Masters champion Charl Schwartzel birdied the 18th for a 68 to finish third. Matt Kuchar made a holein-one on the 16th that gave him hope but not for very long. He tied for fourth with Thomas Pieters, who ran off four birdies on the back nine.

Jordan Spieth, starting the final round only two shots behind, put another tee shot into the water on No. 12 long after it mattered. He had to birdie three of his last four holes for a 75. Also an afterthought was Rickie Fowler, who started one shot behind and shot 76.

All that mattered was Garcia and Rose, who delivered a final hour as compelling as any at the Masters and a champion who began to wonder whether he would ever win a major.
