Libraries prove to be lifesavers over lifetime The theme of this year’s National Library Week, being observed this week, is “Libraries Transform,” a fitting way not only to reflect on how libraries themselves are adapting, but also how they are able to change you and me.

The celebration aims to shed light on the valuable role of all types of libraries – school, public, academic and special – as well as the workers in them.

Libraries also can save lives. They have mine – at least twice.

The first time was when I was in junior high. Those were dark days, when bullying made life a struggle. In the midst of it all came Mrs. Talluto, our school librarian, one of the kindest, coolest, most wonderful people I’ve ever met. (Of course, this can be said for many of the librarians I have known.)

I’ll never know for sure whether she knew of my plight, but she invited me and my best friend, Robbie, to become library assistants. That meant that I could eat my lunch in the library office and shelve books during recess instead of being my tormentor’s easy target.

The library then was a refuge, a sanctuary and a godsend. It was a place where my nerdy nature was nurtured and I could be myself, even if that meant trying to memorize the Dewey Decimal System or read my way through it.

In high school when I was a member of the debate team, libraries were essential. It’s hard to build a case for uniform laws in the court system or employing all employable people in the U.S. without some facts to back it up.

This quest took me to the libraries at McHenry County College, as well as the University of Michigan, where I went to debate camp.

What’s a university experience without a library? However, not only did I spend many, many days and nights studying in the libraries at Northwestern University, but I also had my work-study job at the Evanston Public Library. That’s where, in the Technical Services Department, I met even more wonderful librarians who were mentors and friends.

The second time a library saved my life

‘‘

VIEWS Joan Oliver was when I was working nights at the Northwest Herald on the copy desk. Remember that awful heat wave in 1995, the one where more than 700 people died in Chicago over a fiveday stretch? At that time, I was living in an apartment on Williams Street in Crystal Lake that did not have air conditioning.

To escape the oppressive heat, I spent a number of pleasant days at the air-conditioned Crystal Lake Public Library.

No doubt, had I stayed home, I would have melted almost as badly as the candles I kept in my living room.

In the years since, I’ve had the great privilege to visit a number of our area’s libraries for personal and professional reasons.

If you haven’t visited your local library recently, I encourage you to do so.

Many have special events this week in honor of National Library Week.

Stay awhile and look around.

Libraries today offer far more than books and children’s story times. In this age of “alternative facts,” librarians are trained to help you get actual facts about just about anything. Need help with a job search? Trying to track down a long-lost relative? Want to find a book about journalism to read to kids?

Librarians, amazing people that they are, can help. (And have, particularly on that last one.)

So, to all my librarian friends past and present, happy National Library Week.

And if you haven’t visited your library in a while, in person or online, please do. After all, it just might save your life. It did mine. At least twice.

In this age of ‘alternative facts,’ librarians are trained to help you get actual facts about just about anything. ”

CELEBRATING 50 YEARS OF GROWTH McHenry County College alumni, students reflect on school’s past, future

By NATE LINHART

nlinhart@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – While visiting his old college Tuesday, Van Vogel said McHenry County College looks a lot different now than he remembers it.

One of the college’s first students, the Wonder Lake resident attended MCC the first two years it opened in 1968 and 1969. Vogel said that when he attended the school, his classes were in the old Pure Oil building, which acted as an interim campus until college operations were moved into permanent campus facilities at its current location in 1975.

“As far as a facility, it wasn’t much of a college. It was an old industrial building we met in where the pipes clanked, and it was pretty bare minimum,” Vogel said.

While looking around, Vogel said his former college has really improved in the past 50 years and is headed on the right path.

“I love the idea of the science lab, and I think the fire program is excellent,” Vogel said.

Hundreds of people, including students, alumni, former and current teachers, faculty and community members, attended MCC’s Golden Homecoming on Tuesday. The event, celebrating MCC’s 50th anniversary, gave attendees a look at the college’s history as well as its future plans.

During the event, MCC turned the Scot Room into an archive room where attendees got to look at old photos and help identify the people in the photos, what events were taking place at that time and the date the photo was taken.

Walking around the archive room and looking at the black-and-white photos were former Trustees Carol

“It’s an outstanding evolution,” Larson said.

“What a change,” Lowe said. “It’s amazing how much this place has grown over the years.”

Other stations set up during the event included an alumni hub, a timeline of MCC’s history and a time capsule, where some attendees put in

notes, buttons and a pin from 1966 in support of the referendum that established the college.

“I really, really enjoyed teaching here, and I think it’s a great place for students,” said former MCC math teacher Marilyn Zopp, who started teaching part time when the Crystal Lake campus opened its doors in 1975.

“I also worked very hard with a whole group of people to get our firstyear experience program going,” Zopp said.

While most of the night focused on MCC’s past, people also got to learn more about where the community college is headed in the future.

Ex-CL Central choir director tries to get incriminating statements tossed

By JORDYN REILAND

jreiland@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – A former Crystal Lake Central choir director accused of inappropriately touching former students and giving them alcohol claims what he said during a school district investigation can’t be used against him in court.

Justin Hubly, 35, is arguing that all evidence gathered during an interview on Oct. 19 between Hubly and Randy Davis, assistant superintendent of human resources for District 155, should be suppressed because Hubly signed a document that granted him immunity from criminal prosecution. The motion was filed by his defense lawyer, Hank Sugden, in McHenry County Court.

When Hubly spoke with Davis, he confirmed the names of the two women whom he was accused of touching, according to the motion.

As part of the agreement, Hubly had to answer all questions asked of him during the investigation, and if he didn’t, he would have been disciplined and possibly dismissed.

On Oct. 15, a former student told a teacher about allegations of “inappropriate behavior” between Hubly and former students.

Eleven days later, District 155 officials reported the matter to the Crystal

Lake Police Department, according to court records.

Prosecutors claim that between June 1, and July 31, Hubly inappropriately touched a former stuJustin Hubly dent and gave her alcohol when she was underage.

Police also said on that Oct. 7, he inappropriately touched another former student and gave her alcohol.

Prosecutors also have charged Hubly with giving alcohol to three other former students on Dec. 30, 2015. The students were younger than 21 at the time, according to court records.

Police arrested Hubly on Nov. 30, more than a month after the allegations surfaced. He’s facing charges of battery and unlawful delivery of alcohol to a minor, Class A misdemeanors. If convicted, he could spend up to a year in jail.

District 155 officials suspended Hubly in October.

He resigned Nov. 8. He is no longer working in the education field, Sugden said Tuesday.

Sugden said in his motion that if the court denied his motion to suppress the evidence, then he would request a hearing to determine where police officers got the information to charge Hubly.

In response, Assistant State’s Attor-

ney Taylor Nesbit argued that the only things that were inadmissible were statements Hubly made to Davis during the Oct. 19, interview.

“The only statements that should be inadmissible are that [Hubly] admitted to kissing [a former student],” Nesbit wrote.

Nesbit said even if that information was not able to be used, they had other evidence from the former student and other independent sources who reported what they believed happened and identified other students who went to Hubly’s Crystal Lake home, all of which would be admissible. She also said any follow-up investigation by Davis or the Crystal Lake Police Department should be admissible.

Hubly had been the school’s choir director since 2004. He also served as student activities director, and has served five terms as president of the District 155 Education Association, a union that represents employees, including teachers, at all four of the district’s high schools. He earned $85,290 a year, not including benefits, according to school records.

Hubly is out on $10,000 bond. As of March 31, he listed an Oak Brook address on court records.

He next will appear in court April 21 to argue the motion.

Squad also responded, she said.

Pierce said she did not know what caused the crash. She said the road was temporarily closed.

The McHenry County Sheriff’s Office could not immediately be reached for more information.

“We are always looking at ways we can give back to our community, and this is just one of them,” La Pizza Via owner Jeff Valentino said in an email. “These holidays are very important to our family, so we want others to be able to enjoy them as much as we do – food is an important part of our family celebration.”

Individuals and couples will be able to take home one free pizza, while families can take two free pizzas, Valentino said.

Limited free delivery will be offered to those who cannot make it to the restaurant.

Calling ahead is not required, but people can order in advance by calling 224-888-8100.

Mother collects 1,300 books for fundraiser to honor son

By JORDYN REILAND

jreiland@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK — A Woodstock mother who lost her 20-year-old son almost two years ago in a drowsy driving crash collected more than 1,300 books to give to underprivileged children in her son’s memory.

Diane Brokaw started Stuff the Stocking for Zach in 2015 in honor of her son, Zachery T. Brokaw. The event raised $3,000 and the proceeds were donated to a local Boy Scout troop so they could attend an outing.

This year, Diane Brokaw received $4,000 in donations and 125 books

during a fundraiser that ran through the end of December.

She bought more than 1,300 books to give away with the money she collected.

She gave away 450 books to 136 children at the Woodstock Food Pantry over the weekend. Each child received three books.

The event coincided with Zach Brokaw’s birthday – he would have been 22 years old. Diane Brokaw is now working to find other places to donate the remaining 900 books.

Zach Brokaw was killed in June 2015 on his way to a local Wal-Mart after working several hours at a camp.

He and his passenger fell asleep and his car traveled into oncoming traffic.

Zach Brokaw was killed instantly and his passenger and the driver of the other vehicle struck were injured.

He had just finished his freshman year at Carleton College in Northfield, Minnesota, and was selected to work as a student naturalist with the Cowling Arboretum’s Cole Naturalist Program for the fall.

She plans to continue the fundraiser and recognize a different cause each year. “[The event] helps me get through the holidays and keep his memory alive,” she said.

Two killed in crash near McHenry identified

By BRETT ROWLAND

browland@shawmedia.com McHENRY – No charges have been filed against a Wonder Lake woman who investigators said failed to yield in a Sunday crash that killed two Carpentersville motorcycle riders near McHenry.

The crash at the intersection of River and Charles J. Miller roads in McHenry Township killed Carpentersville residents Edward Spears Jr., 49, and Tanya Schafer, 42, according to information released Tuesday by the Lake County Coroner’s Office and the McHenry County Coroner’s

Office.

Emergency responders were called at 7:53 p.m. Sunday to a two-vehicle crash at the intersection. Spears and Schafer were on a 2017 Harley-Davidson heading south on River Road.

Spears was driving. He had a green light at the time of the crash, according to the results of a preliminary investigation done by the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office.

A 2014 Chrysler Town & Country van, driven by a 41-year-old woman from Wonder Lake, was driving north on River Road and turning west onto Charles J. Miller Road. The driver of the van failed to yield for the

motorcycle. The vehicles crashed in the intersection, according to a news release.

Following department policy, the name of the Wonder Lake woman wasn’t released because she hadn’t been charged with a crime as of noon Tuesday, McHenry County Sheriff’s Office Deputy Sandra Rogers said.

Police detoured traffic for about five hours while they were investigating the crash, Rogers said.

The McHenry County Sheriff’s Office Major Crash Investigation Unit, the McHenry County Coroner’s Office and the Lake County Coroner’s Office still are investigating the crash.

To build the hill, the Village Board would have to approve an ordinance amending the final planned unit development for the storage building to allow the addition of the sledding hill.

Huntley Mayor Charles Sass told trustees Thursday that although he could live with the decision to build the hill, he had some concerns with the precedent it would set for other developers who don’t want to pay to move their excess spoils.

Sass said the village required Centegra Hospital – Huntley to move excess spoils from its property after it was built.

“I just believe in treating everybody the same, and it keeps us out of trouble,” Sass said.

Originally, the land to the west of the aquatic center was intended to be used for parking if the park district expanded the pool; however, Palmer said there are no plans to expand the pool.

HUNTLEY – The Huntley Park District is asking the village for permission to build a 22-foot-tall sledding hill west of Stingray Bay Family Aquatic Center.

The hill would be made with excess spoils from the construction of a 11,900-square-foot maintenance and storage building being built to the south of the aquatic center, village documents show.

When plans for the storage building were brought before the Huntley Village Board in November, the park district intended to spread and shape the excess spoils to the west of the pool area, Huntley Park District Executive Director Thom Palmer said.

“As part of our mission statement to provide recreational opportunities to the community, one became obvious, and now we’re

McHENRY – Officials on Tuesday released the name of a McHenry man killed Sunday in a motorcycle crash after he struck a tree.

The McHenry County Sheriff’s Office said a preliminary investigation found Leonard W. Jensen III, 55, of McHenry was riding a 2010 Harley-Davidson motorcycle west on Ringwood Road west of Meadowhill Lane when it left the road and struck a tree.

The intersection was closed for several hours while the crash was investigated.

Jensen was wearing a helmet at the time of the crash, deputies said. Investigations are ongoing by the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office Major Crash Investigation Unit and the McHenry County Coroner’s Office.

The McHenry County Sheriff’s Office, Johnsburg Police Department, McHenry County Conservation Police and McHenry Fire Protection District were called at 6:46 p.m. Sunday to a report of a motorcycle crash near Ringwood Road and Meadowhill Lane.

No one else was involved in the crash.

looking at making that happen,” Palmer said.

About 9,000 cubic yards of dirt has been excavated from the park for the maintenance building, Palmer said, and it would cost about $180,000 to remove it from the property. However, Palmer said the cost was not a factor in wanting to make the sledding hill since the park district never intended to remove the dirt.

After discussing the proposal at the Huntley Committee of the Whole meeting Thursday, trustees decided to table the item until residents are notified of the plans.

“I think it’s a great idea, I just want to make sure that the residents know what’s going to happen to their backyard,” Huntley Trustee Niko Kanakaris said.

Palmer said he will be in communication with the neighbors whose yards back up to Betsey Warrington Park, where the sledding hill would be built.

WOODSTOCK – A blue bus sat next to Woodstock High School on Monday, and most wouldn’t have imagined a multimillion-dollar recording and production studio was hidden inside.

The John Lennon Educational Tour Bus stopped by Woodstock High School on Tuesday, and seven students – the majority Advanced Placement music theory students – had a chance to work with a team of studio engineers to write and record an original song, then produce a music video using professional-grade equipment.

“All the stuff that comes out of here is high-level and professional quality,” said Steven Meloney, an onboard engineer. “That’s the biggest value. All the equipment they are working with is the same equipment you would find in a multimillion-dollar production facility. It’s a unique opportunity because most people don’t have access to this stuff.”

The 45-foot, three-room bus has all the equipment a professional recording studio would have and is valued at $2.5 million, Meloney said.

The nonprofit – marking its 20th

An American white pelican swims Tuesday in Pistakee Lake near Lake Street Park. One of the largest North American birds, pelicans are migrating through Illinois. Adults are snowy white with black flight feathers visible only when the wings are spread. A small patch of ornamental feathers on the chest can become yellow in spring, according to allaboutbirds.org.

Meloney said. “So it’s exposure to that professional industry. Jobs like a recording engineer or video editor.

They get to see all that stuff happen in a professional atmosphere.”

The biggest benefit AP Music Theory teacher Rich Styles saw in the experience was his students being pushed out of their comfort zones, he said.

“All these students are classically trained. They come to these large ensembles and are one of 70,” he said.

“They don’t really get that one-onone teaching or the collaboration like they are doing right now, which is nerve-wracking for them.”

He added that the experience was a way for them to explore their musical creativity, rather than just playing off of sheet music.

“They have to create it, or it doesn’t happen,” he said.

Student Caleb Ruff, 18, said that he was surprised that a professional studio space could exist in such a small space, and he was enjoying the experience.

“It’s been really great,” he said.

“I have never seen anything like this. … This is my first time with it. I’ve never really put any thought into it, but it’s been really fun.”

Police dispatch center to close at start of May

By HANNAH PROKOP

hprokop@shawmedia.com LAKE IN THE HILLS – The Lake in the Hills police dispatch center will be closing at the start of May. The change comes after a statewide mandate forced McHenry County to reduce its number of dispatch centers from six to three.

Harvard and Woodstock police chose to transfer their dispatch services to the North East Regional Communication Center, or NERCOMM, which is housed at the McHenry Police Department. Lake in the Hills police chose to transfer their dispatch services to Crystal Lake-based Southeast Emergency Communications, or SEECOM. “We provide a very high level of service for all residents and agencies, and we’re making sure we provide that same service to Lake in the Hills,” SEECOM Executive Director Jason Kern said, adding that service to other coverage areas will remain the same.

The Lake in the Hills dispatch center also takes calls for Huntley police,

Sarah Nader file photo – snader@shawmedia.com

Dispatcher Nina Jones works at the Lake in the Hills police dispatch center in 2016. Lake in the Hills is the latest municipality to change dispatchers to prepare for a state-mandated consolidation of those services in 2017. The Lake in the Hills police dispatch center will be closing at the start of May. Marengo police, Fox River Grove police and Union police, according to the village of Lake in the Hills’ website.

during the transition, Kern said. The transition will start around May 1 and be completed by July.

For emergencies, residents still will call 911.

Those calling for nonemergency situations still need to call the Lake in the Hills police nonemergency number at 847-658-5676, according to the village’s website. During regular business hours, the Lake in the Hills police records department will answer the phone, and after business hours, a dispatcher at SEECOM will answer.

Lake in the Hills Police Chief David Brey and Deputy Chief of Support Service Mary Frake will hold an informational meeting for anyone who wants to learn more about the transition. The meeting will be at 7 p.m.

Monday at the Safety Education Center, 1109 Crystal Lake Road, Lake in the Hills.

People can register for emergency notifications from Lake in the Hills police through Nixle, local.nixle. com/register, and receive additional emergency information and more through the Lake in the Hills Police Facebook page and by following @LITHPolice on Twitter.

Rauner on campaign-style tour of state

By SARA BURNETT

The schedule was announced from a Citizens for Rauner-affiliated email account. And moments after the first event started, supporters received a fundraising email from “Team Rauner Volunteer HQ” – another account affiliated with Citizens for Rauner – asking them to donate money “to directly help our grass-roots team as we

prep for this trip.”

Several of his potential Democratic rivals said Tuesday the two-day trip was the latest example of Rauner’s misguided priorities. They argue that his focus on keeping or gaining power has prevented lawmakers from reaching a deal on a state budget for nearly two years, leading to serious cuts to higher education, social services and other programs.

“Bruce Rauner is once again choosing to put politics over doing his job as governor,” Pritzker said in an email.

Pawar noted the events were occurring the same day he joined protesters at Northeastern Illinois University to rally against billions of dollars in cuts to colleges and to tuition grants for students.

“It’s past time for Gov. Rauner to put politics aside and govern,” he said. “Our state can’t afford to wait any longer.”

Rauner said the roadblock to changes he’s seeking, such as term limits for lawmakers and a property tax freeze, has been House Speaker Michael Madigan and other Democrats. During Tuesday’s stops and in TV ads that an arm of the Republican Governors Association began airing last month, he’s criticized Democrats who control the General Assembly for trying to “duct tape over” Illinois’ problems and said he’s the person trying to truly fix Illinois.

The Associated Press

CHICAGO – Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner launched a two-day tour paid for by his campaign fund Tuesday, insisting the statewide fly around “has nothing to do with the election” even as Democrats line up to unseat him in 2018 and his approval ratings sag.

The first-term governor started the day touring a Bloomingdale factory, where he told employees “we’re working for you every day to try to help you have a better life.” He then flew to Rockford and several other stops before an evening rally in Springfield. He also has five scheduled events Wednesday in southern Illinois, Quincy and Champaign.

The tour comes as Rauner’s Democratic rivals already have been stumping across Illinois, blasting him as a failure and as more interested in politicking than governing. Among the candidates are billionaire J.B. Pritzker, businessman Chris Kennedy, state Sen. Daniel Biss and Chicago Alderman Ameya Pawar.

Rauner, who put $50 million into his campaign fund in December, said Tuesday he wanted media to cover the events as “communication with the people of Illinois.” He also refused to say he’s seek-

LINCOLNWOOD – Officials said a member of Northwestern University’s crew team has been found dead after falling overboard while practicing in Lincolnwood.

The school said in a statement authorities recovered the body of 19-year-old Mohammed Ramzan on Monday from the North Shore Channel in Lincolnwood.

Officials said a coach in a separate boat and a fellow team member went into the water in an unsuccessful rescue attempt.

Catholic Charities of Chicago marks 100 years

CHICAGO – Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Chicago has turned 100.

The largest Catholic Charities outpost in the country celebrated a century of service Monday. The organization said it helps nearly 1 million people in Cook and Lake counties each year.

The agency began April 10, 1917. Cardinal Mundelein called together a group of prominent businessmen to raise money for the church.

It was only days after America’s entry into World War I. Women were left caring for families. And a burgeoning flu pandemic would orphan thousands.

The organization has expanded to 150 locations across the archdiocese.

Man gets 6 years in prison for fondling women’s feet

WHEATON – An Illinois man has received a six-year prison sentence for fondling women’s feet last year at two public libraries.

Omar Carlton of Aurora pleaded guilty in October to two counts of aggravated battery in a public place in connection with touching the feet of the women in separate incidents. He was sentenced Monday.

DuPage County prosecutors said in April 2016, a woman was working at a cubicle at the Warrenville Public Library when she felt something brush up against her feet several times.

She reported the incident. An investigation by Warrenville police identified the 45-year-old Carlton as a suspect.

Carlton was arrested in May and was out on bond when he was charged in a similar incident at the North Central College library in Naperville.

He was in custody until his guilty plea.

Motorcyclists urged to take steps to improve safety

SPRINGFIELD – Illinois officials are urging motorcyclists to brush up on their skills and use proper equipment as they take to the roadways.

The Illinois Department of Transportation and Illinois State Police said more motorcycles will be on the road as the weather improves. They’re launching a joint safety campaign aimed at reducing crashes and deaths.

Illinois Transportation Secretary Randy Blankenhorn said although motorcycles are only on the roads for part of each year, they account for nearly 14 percent of all traffic fatalities.

He said riders should do pre-ride safety inspections and wear high-visibility clothing and a U.S. Department of Transportation-approved helmet.

Illinois also offers a free Cycle Rider Safety Training Program to licensed residents.

Tillerson in Moscow, takes hard line on Syria

By JOSH LEDERMAN The Associated Press

MOSCOW – The Trump administration veered toward deeper conflict with Russia on Tuesday as Secretary of State Rex Tillerson arrived in Moscow, gambling that an unpredictable new president armed with the willingness to threaten military action gives the U.S. much-needed leverage to end Syria’s carnage.

Yet there were no guarantees Tillerson’s arguments would prove any more successful than the Obama administration’s failed effort to peel Russia away from its Syrian ally. Tillerson’s mission, coming days after 59 Tomahawk missiles struck a Syrian air base, also carries serious risks: If Russia brushes off the warnings, President Donald Trump could be forced into another show of force in Syria or see his credibility wane.

“I hope that what the Russian government concludes is that they have aligned themselves with an unreliable partner in Bashar al-Assad,” Tillerson said before flying to the Russian capital, referring to Syria’s embattled leader.

“The reign of the Assad family is coming to an end,” he confidently predicted.

But Tillerson’s claim is one President Barack Obama, too, argued for years, only to see Assad outlast his own term in office. And the Trump administration’s nascent Syria policy seems to be increasingly centering on the same tactic Obama unsuccessfully employed: persuading Russia, Assad’s staunchest ally, to abandon him.

The parallels haven’t gone unnoticed by Russian President Vladimir Putin as U.S. officials have accused his military of knowing about Assad’s recent chemical weapons attack ahead of time

Calling for a U.N. investigation, Putin held to his claim that it was actually Assad opponents who introduced chemical weapons into Syria’s harrowing civil war.

“We have seen it all already,” Putin said. Jabbing at U.S. credibility, the Russian leader reminded reporters about unfounded U.S. claims of Iraqi weapons of mass destruction, used to justify America’s 2003 invasion.

The escalating dispute over last week’s events in the Syrian town of Khan Sheikhoun has thrust Washington and Moscow into a level of tension rarely seen since the end of the Cold War. The animosity is especially striking given widespread speculation that Trump, who lavishly praised Putin during his campaign, would pursue rapprochement with Moscow.

Even on Syria, the positions appeared to be hardening. Only a week ago, top Trump officials had spoken off deprioritizing past U.S. efforts to remove Assad from office and accepting the “reality” that 18 months of Russian military intervention had secured him in power.

Since last Thursday’s cruise missile strike, Tillerson and

other U.S. officials appear to have reverted to the past administration’s rhetoric of insisting that Assad is on the way out, without outlining any strategy for making that happen.

The Trump administration’s change of heart, apparently spurred in part by the president’s emotional response to the images of chemical weapons victims, also is serving another purpose: defanging the perception of coziness between Trump and Moscow. As the FBI and multiple congressional committees investigate potential collusion between Russia and Trump’s campaign, the president can point to his hard-line stance on Assad as fresh evidence he’s willing to stand up to Putin.

Asked about Putin possibly skipping a meeting with Tillerson, White House press secretary Sean Spicer said, “There is a bit of irony that for all of these talks that have been perpetuated about back channels and direct links, that now it’s they won’t meet with you.” At a minimum, Tillerson will meet Wednesday with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, and the two are expected to take questions from reporters.

United Airlines CEO issues apology Details emerge about passenger who was removed from flight

By DON BABWIN

The Associated Press CHICAGO – After people were horrified by video of a passenger getting dragged off a full United Express flight by airport police, the head of United’s parent company said the airline was reaching out to the man to “resolve this situation.”

Hours later on Monday, his tone turned more defensive. He described the man as “disruptive and belligerent.”

By Tuesday afternoon, almost two days after the Sunday evening confrontation in Chicago, CEO Oscar Munoz issued his most contrite apology yet as details emerged about the man seen on cellphone videos recorded by other passengers at O’Hare Airport.

“No one should ever be mistreated this way,” Munoz said.

The passenger was identified as

physician David Dao, 69, of Elizabethtown, Kentucky, who was convicted more than a decade ago of felony charges involving his prescribing of drugs and spent years trying to regain his medical license.

But while Dao’s history quickly became a focus of attention, there’s no indication that his past influenced Oscar Munoz how he was treated or that the airline or police were aware of his background. And it’s unlikely that officials would have known anything about him other than basic information such as his name and address, if that.

Screaming can be heard on the videos, but nowhere is Dao seen attacking the officers. In fact, he appears relatively passive both when he was dragged down the aisle of the jet and when he is seen standing in the aisle later saying quietly, “I want to go home, I want to go home.”

Munoz’s latest statement described the removal as “truly horrific.” He said the company would review policies for seeking volunteers to give up their seats, for handling oversold situ-

ations and for partnering with airport authorities and local law enforcement.

An attorney who represents Dao said his client was being treated at a Chicago hospital for injuries he suffered in the incident and that the family would not comment.

According to records from the Kentucky Board of Medical Licensure, Dao went to medical school at the University of Medicine of Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam, graduating in 1974. He was licensed in Kentucky with a specialty in pulmonary disease.

His legal troubles started in 2003, when his medical license was suspended after an undercover sting operation at a Louisville motel for allegedly writing fraudulent prescriptions.

According to the documents, the licensing board had learned that Dao had become sexually interested in a patient and hired the patient as his office manager. That man later said he quit his job because Dao “pursued him aggressively” and arranged to provide him with prescription drugs in exchange for sex.

Dao was ultimately convicted in late 2004 of several counts of obtaining drugs by fraud or deceit and was placed on five years of supervised pro-

bation and surrendered his medical license.

His longtime effort to get his license back finally succeeded in 2015, when the licensing board allowed him to practice medicine again.

Airport officials have said little about Sunday’s events and nothing about Dao’s behavior before he was pulled from the jet that was bound for Louisville, Kentucky. Likewise, the Chicago Aviation Department has said only that one of its employees who removed Dao did not follow proper procedures and has been placed on leave.

No passengers on the plane have mentioned that Dao did anything but refuse to leave the plane when he was ordered to do so.

Also Tuesday, Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel called the altercation “completely unacceptable” and praised Aviation Commissioner Ginger Evans for taking “swift action.”

He promised that a city investigation would “ensure nothing like this ever happens again.”

The event stemmed from a common air travel issue – a full flight. United was trying to make room for four employees of a partner airline, meaning four people had to get off.

Veteran kills wife at school after failing to win her back

By AMANDA LEE MYERS and MICHAEL BALSAMO The Associated Press

SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. – The man who opened fire in a San Bernardino school was a deeply religious Navy veteran who accused his newlywed wife of infidelity.

They had separated, and when he failed to win her back, he went to her special-education classroom and fatally shot her and one of the children she taught before turning the gun on himself, police said Tuesday.

In the weeks before Monday’s violence, Karen Smith told family members her new husband, Cedric Anderson, had tried to get her to return home and threatened her, San Bernardino Police Chief Jarrod Burguan said. She didn’t take him seriously and thought he was just seeking attention, he said.

Police do not know what triggered the attack or why Anderson chose to shoot Smith at the school, Burguan said, adding that she never shared any information about her marital problems with colleagues.

Hundreds of panicked parents descended on North Park Elementary School on Monday, waiting for hours for information on their children in a city that is still on edge 16 months after a terror attack that killed 14 people and wounded 22 others at a meeting of county employees.

Anderson, 53, walked into the special-education classroom and fired 10 shots with a .357 Magnum, targeting his wife but also hitting two of her students.

Killed was Jonathan Martinez, 8, who had a rare genetic condition known as Williams syndrome and had survived heart surgery. A 9-year-old boy also was shot but was in stable condition and in good spirits, police said.

Anderson and Smith had married in late January but separated in midMarch after Anderson accused her of infidelity, leading Smith to move out, Burguan said.

Just weeks before the shooting, Anderson had professed his love to Smith in a series of social media posts, including one that called her an “angel.”

Smith’s mother, Irma Sykes, said her daughter had been friends with Anderson for about four years before they got married.

“She thought she had a wonderful husband, but she found out he was not wonderful at all,” Sykes told the Los Angeles Times.

Anderson, a self-proclaimed pastor whose Facebook profile is filled with Bible quotes and religious references, had been unemployed but previously held jobs as a maintenance worker, police said. He had joined the Navy in 1982 and re-enlisted as a reservist from 1987 until 2003, working as a builder, according to military records.

Anderson had been arrested four times since 1982, though none resulted in convictions, Burguan said. Those arrests included one in August 2012 on suspicion of spousal battery and another in May 2013 on suspicion of brandishing a knife, Torrance police Sgt. Ronald Harris said. Police had been called to his home five times that year, he said.

ANOTHER VIEW

Futile attempt to block Gorsuch What did Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-New York, achieve in attempting to deny a vote on Judge Neil Gorsuch, President Donald Trump’s nominee for the Supreme Court?

Not keeping Gorsuch off the court; he was approved Friday. Not preserving the filibuster for use against any future Trump nominee; Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Kentucky, abolished the tactic Thursday. Not standing on principle; after rightly attacking Republicans for denying Merrick Garland a vote last year, Democrats tried to do the same thing.

Schumer did, however, achieve a political victory: He placated the “resistance” wing of the Democratic Party, which opposes any cooperation with Republicans. Party activists had threatened to mount primary campaigns against Democrats who allowed a vote to proceed, even organizing protests outside the Brooklyn home of Schumer, who is not up for re-election until 2022.

This resistance movement is the mirror image of the tea party, which has pushed Republicans into a period of obstructionism that persists even with their transition to the governing party. If the Democrats’ resistance wing calls the tune on other major questions facing Congress – from infrastructure to trade to health care – Americans will be poorer for it.

Schumer must decide whether he wants to be the leader of the Senate’s Democrats or a follower of the party’s activist base. His first responsibility as an American is to be a patriot and do what’s right for the country. Leadership requires more than doing battle with the opposition; it requires speaking difficult truths to your own troops. It would not have required much courage for Schumer to announce that he would oppose Gorsuch while still allowing a vote to proceed.

Schumer’s gambit will impose a second, even more harmful, cost on the country: ending the tradition that senators consider judicial nominees’ legal qualifications more than their political philosophy. This tradition has taken some blows in recent decades, but with Garland and Gorsuch, the two parties have bludgeoned it to death. Leading the Democratic attack may have been the most shortsighted decision of Schumer’s long career.

Democrats will almost certainly come to regret taking revenge for Garland. It is not hard to imagine a Republican majority refusing to allow a vote on the Supreme Court nominee of a Democratic president – not in the last year of his or her tenure, but in the first. With this kind of tit-for-tat obstructionism, the court might even come to lack a six-member quorum. The partisanship that has increasingly consumed Congress is now inflicting collateral damage on the courts. The long-term consequences – for the country and for Schumer’s legacy – could be severe.

Schools should release immunization rates It’s troubling enough that Texas still allows parents to opt out of vaccinating their school-age children with alarming ease.

Almost as stunning is how hard it is for parents to get information on the number of kids claiming exemptions at individual schools, so they can make smart decisions about their risk of exposure.

The way Texas releases records – at the district level instead of the school level – keeps most parents in the dark until it’s too late. Parents have to file tedious and time-consuming open records requests to get school rates.

Meanwhile, clusters of unvaccinated children can form at a school without being reflected in the data or released to the public.

This is leading to the emergence of childhood diseases that had all but disappeared because of advances in medicine and kids

on vaccination schedules. In December, a mumps outbreak in Johnson County infected almost 30 people. Dallas County had a mumps outbreak last month, with nearly 60 cases.

That does no one any good.

And it’s a danger to the health of all of us.

We applaud two bills – SB 1010 from Amarillo Republican Kel Seliger, and HB 2249 from J.D. Sheffield, R-Gatesville – that aim to fix this and require the government to release school immunization rates.

Consider that nearly 45,000 Texas students in grades K-12 claimed nonmedical exemptions in 2016. That’s a 1,700 percent increase from 2004. Stunningly, parents can opt out with little more than a name, age and an address.

This has been allowed since vaccination skeptics got Texas law changed in 2003 to allow

exemptions for philosophical reasons. Fearful and misinformed parents continue to cite discredited research linking vaccines to autism.

It’s mindboggling that Texas allows this to continue. A bill by Dallas Rep. Jason Villalba to curb these exemptions for nonmedical reasons died during the last session. At the very least, lawmakers should now make sure parents are armed with exemption rates at their schools.

“Parents have a right not to get their kids vaccinated, but the kids don’t have an individual right to expose other kids whose parents don’t want to assume that level of risk,” Seliger told The Dallas Morning News.

He’s right.

This information should be as easy to get as STAAR or SAT scores, and it could save kids’ lives.

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.

Fool and his money

To the Editor: Begging your pardon, but I did want to take the survey and did try to submit my opinions, at least five times. But I do not wish to contribute money to the Democratic Party, who I so adamantly oppose.

Without a monetary contribution being rendered, my opinion will not be rendered which, therefore, makes your so-called poll worthless insofar as gaining a true measure of support.

So typical of the Democrats to do something as shady as this. Now, do you want my opinion or don’t you? You might not like to hear what I have to say, but I would like to think that even the Democratic Party would subscribe to the words of Patrick Henry: “I may not agree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.” Powerful words the Democratic Party seems to have forgotten.

By the way, I am not solely Republican, either, not that you would seem to care. All you want is my money and a fool and his money are soon parted. I’m no fool, either. I am being played like one, though.

Sometimes, our society makes mistakes.

And the death penalty is something that makes me uneasy.

I met Gauger back in 1990 when he dropped by my office, which was then

He noticed there seems to be something on it. The swan landed by the branch and saw a rattlesnake clinging on it. He heard the snake say, “Please help me.

The swan started to swim. He swam for eight hours and finally pulled up on shore. The snake started to slide off his back when he suddenly turned and bit the swan.

I’m libertarian in my philosophy, which means I support limited government. And, let’s face it, there is no greater intrusion of government than when it chooses to kill one of its citizens.

And after 30 years of covering government, I’ve come to the conclusion that it does very little very well.

Even when it comes to the death penalty, in recent decades, Illinois managed to sentence 13 men to die who were factually innocent.

For this reason, I’m glad Illinois no longer has capital punishment.

In early January and without board approval, Jack improperly hired two former campaign workers/Illinois Democrat operatives to serve him personally.

These patronage hires were granted high-paying government jobs including health care and pension benefits that will cost taxpayers more than $130,000 annually.

In addition to the chairman not having powers granted by the Illinois Constitution to hire employees, the job openings were never posted to the public.

While campaigning, Franks also said, “Everyone will be held accountable, including myself.”

County Board members need to end Franks’ perverted use of government for personal gain. Hold Jack Franks accountable for his actions.

Gas prices will rise this summer but remain low

By MARLEY JAY

The Associated Press NEW YORK – You didn’t think those super-low gas prices would last forever, did you?

The U.S. government said a rebound in oil prices means drivers will be paying more at the pump this summer than last year. But that will still be a bargain compared to just a few years ago.

The Energy Information Administration on Tuesday forecast that retail gas will cost an average of $2.46 a gallon from April through September, up from $2.23 a gallon over the summer of 2016.

The price of crude oil has risen about 15 percent over the past year, although at $53 a barrel, oil still costs about half as much as it did in the middle of 2014. Prices tumbled after that because of a huge supply glut.

“Motorists have gotten used to gas prices under $3 a gallon, and that will continue,” said Patrick DeHaan, senior petroleum analyst for the gas price tracking firm GasBuddy.

Gas prices rise over the summer as more people hit the road to take advantage of the warmer weather and school breaks. And while gas prices can vary a great deal depending on geography and other factors, the agency said it believes the average

price of gas will rise to $2.39 a gallon this year, from $2.15 a gallon in 2016.

If that holds, the average U.S. household would spend about $200 more on gasoline than it did in 2016, the EIA said. But that imaginary average household still would save about $300 compared to average yearly spending on gas from 2012 to 2016.

Gas prices now are the highest they’ve been in about a year and a half, according to the American Automobile Association. Prices at the pump now are more than $3 a gallon in some places, a barrier that is psychologically significant and keeps some people from driving as much as they would otherwise.

“Demand for gasoline likely will be flat or slightly lower than last year because of the increase in price,” DeHaan said.

Diesel prices also are expected to rise to $2.70 a gallon this year from $2.34 a gallon, but that’s also well below the average price of the fuel over the past five years. The U.S. now produces so much more oil than it did in years past that oil prices, and in turn gas prices, are much lower than they were a couple of years ago.

Although DeHaan expects gas consumption to fall slightly, he said drivers probably will set another record for the amount of miles they drive because fuel efficiency has improved.

AP fact check: Trump again out of his lane on auto jobs

By TOM KRISHER

The Associated Press DETROIT – President Donald Trump claimed direct credit Tuesday for Toyota’s new investment in a Kentucky plant, calling it new evidence of economic improvement in a White House discussion with CEOs. The company said the move was planned long before Trump even announced he was running for president.

It’s not the first time Trump has veered from reality when claiming he’s produced new jobs in his 82 days in office.

TRUMP: “Already we’ve created more than almost 600,000 jobs. And

yesterday Toyota just announced that it will invest more than $1.3 billion ... into its Georgetown, Kentucky, plant, an investment that would not have been made if we didn’t win the election.”

THE FACTS: Trump had nothing to do with the changes that Toyota announced. The company said it’s the culmination of plans in the works for at least four years.

The investment is part of revamping the underpinnings of Toyota’s midsize Camry sedan, long the best-selling car in the U.S. Such a change requires years to plan and doesn’t hinge on the economic conditions of the moment.

The company didn’t mention

WORTH TALKIN’ ABOUT WEDNESDAY, APRIL 12, 2017

WASHINGTON – With President Donald Trump staying away, “The Daily Show’s” Hasan Minhaj is set to headline this year’s White House Correspondents Association dinner.

In a news release, the comedian made a tongue-incheek reference to the president’s Twitter style, saying: “It is a tremendous honor to be a part of such a historic event even though the president has chosen not to attend this year. SAD!” WHCA President Jeff Mason made the announcement Tuesday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” saying the April 29 dinner will be “different” without Trump.

Michael Buble’s son doing well after cancer treatment

Singer-songwriter John Legend poses Nov. 21 for a portrait at the Sunset Marquis Hotel in West Hollywood, Calif. Legend will executive produce and lend his voice to the title character of the upcoming Baobab Studios series “Rainbow Crow.”

John Legend to voice, produce a virtual reality series NEW YORK – Fresh off his co-starring role in “La La Land,” John Legend is trying another medium: virtual reality.

Legend will executive produce and lend his voice to the title character of the upcoming Baobab Studios series “Rainbow Crow.” The production company announced Legend’s involvement Tuesday. The first installment of the series is to premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival later this month.

“A lot of the attraction to the project was being involved with a new technology that’s just emerging as a new medium for creative talent,” Legend said in an interview.

Inspired by Native American folklore, “Rainbow Crow” is about a bird “with the most dazzling plumage and mellifluous voice, who, after the planet turns dark and cold, must journey far from home to bring light back to the world.”

Legend said: “It’s about love. It’s about inclusion. It’s about community.”

Although virtual reality remains a nascent art form, Baobab has emerged as an early leader. One of its first two VR “experiences,” “Invasion!” was nominated for an Emmy and is to be adapted into a feature film. “Rainbow Crow” is directed by Eric Darnell, co-founder and chief creative officer of Baobab.

Oscar season still is fresh on the mind of Legend, who called the Academy Awards finale “surreal.”

“At the end of the day, the voters voted for ‘Moonlight,’ and ‘Moonlight’ was a deserving film,” Legend said. “It was a beautiful film that I loved, personally, and I’m happy for the team that created ‘Moonlight.’ And I’m also happy for our incredible team with ‘La La Land.’ ”

Michael Buble’s wife said their 3-year-old son, Noah, is “well” after treatment for cancer in Los Angeles.

Speaking at a news conference Monday in her native Argentina, actress, Luisana Lopilato said in Spanish that Noah has a long recovery ahead of him. She said the experience has made her value life more.

The family last shared an update on Noah in February, when they said he was progressing well in his battle against the disease.

The family announced Noah’s cancer in November. They didn’t say what type of cancer he has or when he was diagnosed.

The couple also has another son, Elias, who turned 1 earlier this year.

Buble is a Grammy-winning singer whose albums include “Come Fly with Me” and “Caught in the Act.”

Museum asks fans of Elmo, Kermit to help pay for exhibit NEW YORK – A New York City museum is asking fans of Jim Henson’s Muppets to help pay for an exhibition featuring original puppets of beloved characters such as Elmo, Miss Piggy and Kermit the Frog.

The Museum of the Moving Image launched a Kickstarter campaign Tuesday seeking $40,000 to help preserve the puppets for posterity.

“Jim Henson’s work has meant so much to so many people, myself included,” actor Neil

Patrick Harris said in a video on the Kickstarter page. “His humor and inventiveness have inspired people to find their own creative voices.”

The museum in the Astoria section of Queens owns hundreds of Jim Henson puppets and other objects including costumes and props, all donated by Henson’s family after he died in 1990.

Museum staff members are working to conserve them along with Jim Henson’s Creature Shop, the company Henson founded in 1979 that carries on his work, and fine arts conservators.

Curator Barbara Miller said the museum has never turned to crowdfunding before, but it made sense for the Muppet exhibit “because the community of fans is so active.”

No charges expected over Tomlinson airport scuffle

LOS ANGELES – Los Angeles prosecutors have scheduled a meeting with One Direction star Louis Tomlinson to discuss an altercation with a celebrity photographer last month at Los Angeles International Airport.

The meeting is unlikely to result in charges for the singer over the March 3 incident, which resulted in Tomlinson’s arrest. City attorney’s spokesman Frank Mateljan wrote in an email that the meeting is set for later this month to advise Tomlinson and the photographer how to avoid future problems.

The scuffle occurred after Tomlinson arrived on a flight with his girlfriend and asked a photographer to stop filming.

Panel now OKs prostate cancer tests

By LINDSEY TANNER The Associated Press

CHICAGO – An influential U.S. government advisory panel is dropping its opposition to routine prostate cancer screening in favor of letting men decide for themselves after talking with their doctor.

The new draft guidelines released Tuesday echo those of several leading medical groups, but they don’t make the decision any easier for men: With their doctor’s help, they have to decide whether to take an imperfect PSA test that has a small chance of detecting a deadly cancer and a larger chance of triggering unneeded worry and treatment with serious side effects.

“This isn’t a one-size-fits-all” recommendation, said the panel’s chair Dr. Kirsten Bibbins-Domingo, a San Francisco internist who already follows the advice and discusses the potential pros and cons with her patients.

Men whose greatest concern is reducing their chances of dying from cancer sometimes are willing to face the consequences and choose testing.

“Other men will realize the likely benefit is small and aren’t willing to risk the harms,” she said.

PSA screening to detect the most common male cancer is among the most heated topics in men’s health.

It involves a simple blood test for elevated levels of a protein that may signal cancer but also can be caused by less serious prostate problems.

It can find cancer that frequently doesn’t need treatment because it’s too small and slow growing to become deadly. Doctors say there’s no good way to tell which early cancers might become lethal. The next step often is radiation or surgery to remove the prostate, which may result in impotence and incontinence.

The new recommendations come from the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, a government-appointed volunteer panel of experts. The group says the change is based on new evidence indicating routine PSA blood tests can slightly reduce some men’s chances of dying from prostate cancer and that drastic treatment sometimes can be avoided with close monitoring when cancer is detected.

The shift shelves the panel’s 2012 guidance, which prompted criticism from some urologists – specialists who treat the disease – and angered some prostate cancer patients certain

Things to know What’s the new advice?

Men should decide for themselves if they want to get tested, the panel says. But first, they should have a talk with their doctor about the pros and the cons of the PSA test.

That applies to men ages 55 to 69 of average risk for prostate cancer as well as those with higher odds, including blacks and men with a family history of the disease. Those 70 and older shouldn’t get screened.

AP photo

Dr. Kirsten Bibbins-Domingo poses by a mural in the lobby of her office in San Francisco. Draft recommendations from the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force ditch the old advice against PSA screening and say whether to get tested should be left up to men ages 55 to 69 after being informed of the potential benefits and harms.

PSA screening had saved their lives.

The new advice published Tuesday closely aligns the panel with medical groups that also support shared decision-making. The biggest remaining difference is timing. The task force draft says screening conversations should begin at age 55. Other groups say start earlier, depending on family history of prostate cancer and other factors. It recommends against testing men aged 70 and older.

The panel leaves open how often men should be screened. It does not recommend earlier testing for blacks and those with a family history but says they should know their risks are higher.

Dr. Meir Stampfer, a Harvard University cancer expert, called the new advice “a more reasoned approach.”

He said PSA tests make sense if they do not lead to overly aggressive treatment. His research suggests more than 1 in 5 men worldwide have undetected prostate cancer, including more than 40 million Americans, but most will die of other causes.

The task force’s 2012 advice against screening said there was little evidence that PSA screening was reducing deaths. Since then, PSA screening rates have declined by as much as 10 percent, and now fewer than one-third of U.S. men get the tests. Fewer men are being diagnosed with early-stage disease, when it is more treatable, while more are being diagnosed with more aggressive,

harder-to-treat cancer.

The panel says its new advice stems from long-term research indicating that for every 1,000 men offered PSA screening, one to two will avoid death from prostate cancer and three will avoid prostate cancer spreading to other organs.

Newer research also has shown benefits from “active surveillance” of men whose initial PSA tests and biopsies indicate slow-growing cancer that hasn’t spread, the panel said.

This approach includes repeated PSA tests and close monitoring, which can delay or even avoid the need for treatment.

The task force’s recommendations influence U.S. government policy and are widely followed by primary care physicians. Medicare and many private insurers have continued to pay for the screening. The reviews evidence and issues advice for a variety of screenings and treatments.

“It sounds like cooler heads have prevailed,” said Dr. Jim Hu, a urologist and prostate cancer specialist at New York-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center who called the old advice “draconian.”

The draft prostate cancer recommendations, announced online in the Journal of the American Medical Association, are open for public comment on the task force website until May 8. Final guidance will come months later but the panel’s guidelines typically echo its draft advice.

Is this a significant change?

Yes, the panel in 2012 decided men shouldn’t get tested, saying there was no evidence that benefits outweigh harms that can result from overdiagnosis and overtreatment.

In 2008, the group said there was too little evidence to make any kind of recommendation for younger men but said those 75 and older shouldn’t be screened.

Why the change?

The panel says there’s now some evidence that screening can save lives. New research shows testing men ages 55 to 69 may slightly reduce their chances of dying from prostate cancer. There’s also newer evidence that “active surveillance,” which involves repeated PSA testing and close monitoring, can help men diagnosed with cancer avoid harsh treatment or at least delay it.

What is PSA screening?

It’s a simple blood test for a specific protein. Elevated levels may be a sign of cancer, but can be caused by less serious conditions, such as an enlarged prostate or an infection. The goal is to find cancer at an early, treatable stage. Biopsies confirm suspicious results. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved the test for screening in 1994.

How could a blood test be harmful?

Prostate cancer usually grows too slowly to be lethal; most affected men will die of other causes and never experience symptoms.

Positive tests may lead to treatment for something that isn’t dangerous. Treatment often involves radiation or surgery, which can cause incontinence and impotence.

How common is prostate cancer?

This year, more than 1 million men will be diagnosed worldwide, including about 160,000 Americans; more than 26,000 U.S. men will die of the disease. Most men are diagnosed after age 60.

CHICAGO – Losing and regaining weight repeatedly may be dangerous for overweight heart patients, a study suggests.

Heart attacks, strokes and death were more common in patients whose weight changed the most over four years.

For some, weight changes might have reflected yo-yo dieting, which some previous studies have suggested may be unhealthy for people without heart problems. That means a hefty but stable weight might be healthier than losing but repeatedly regaining extra pounds.

But big weight fluctuations in heart patients studied also could have been unintentional and a possible sign of serious illness that would explain the results, the researchers and outside experts said.

Doctors not involved in the study called it interesting but not proof that “yo-yo” weight changes are risky for overweight heart patients.

Regardless, the recommendation from New York University cardiologist and lead author, Dr. Sripal Bangalore, echoes standard advice for anyone who’s overweight: “Lose weight but try to keep that weight off.”

The study was published last week in the New England Journal of Medicine. It’s an analysis of about 9,500 patients involved in a different study that didn’t examine reasons for weight changes. Weight was measured an average of 12 times over four years, and some patients lost and regained several pounds in between each measurement.

Among the 1,900 patients with the biggest weight changes, 37 percent had fatal or non-fatal heart attacks, strokes or other heart trouble during the study.

That compared with 22 percent of the 1,900 patients whose weight changed the least.

Weight changes in the highest-risk group averaged about 10 pounds over four years. In the lowest-risk group, weight changes averaged less than 2 pounds over the same period. Deaths were more common in patients with the biggest weight swings.

WASHINGTON – Contrary to some political claims, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved more drugs, and two to three months faster on average, than European regulators did in recent years, new research shows.

“It’s an urban myth” that the FDA is slower than other countries to clear promising treatments for patients, said the agency’s longtime cancer drugs chief, Dr. Richard Pazdur.

He had no role in the approval rate research, which was published Wednesday in the New England Journal of Medicine.

The new research compared how new drugs fared before the FDA and the European Medicines Agency between 2011 and 2015. The FDA approved more drugs than the Europeans – 170 versus 144 – with a median review time of 306 days versus 383 days in Europe.

Reviews were speedier at the FDA for drugs for cancer and blood diseases, but not other maladies, compared

with the Europeans. The FDA also moved quicker on so-called orphan drugs for relatively rare conditions.

The results are similar to a previous analysis that some of the same researchers did for therapies approved between 2001 and 2010.

The latest study was done by Dr. Nicholas Downing at Boston’s Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Audrey Zhang at New York University and Dr. Joseph Ross at the Yale School of Medicine.

President Donald Trump has called the FDA’s drug approval process “slow and burdensome,” and his nominee to head the agency, Dr. Scott Gottlieb, has criticized what he calls unnecessary regulations.

Some other doctors defended the FDA’s track record.

“We’re the best in the world.

Our FDA is great,” said Dr. George Demetri of the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. He is a board member of the American Association for Cancer Research, and spoke from the group’s annual meeting in Washington, attended by about 20,000 cancer scientists from around the world.

34 Cured meats tied to greater risk of asthma Dear Doctor: I love ham sandwiches – and have one almost every day. I also have asthma, and just read processed meats can increase the risk of asthma. How can this be?

Dear Reader: Meats have been cured – that is, preserved and flavored – since ancient times, largely through salting or smoking. Potassium nitrate and sodium nitrite salts were used to some degree in the Middle Ages, although the practice was not widespread. In the United States, these salts have been used to cure meat since 1925, and are highly effective in decreasing the incidence of bacterial disease. However, ingested nitrates and nitrites can form nitrosamines, which are carcinogenic.

Now comes a study, published last year in the journal Thorax, concluding that cured meats such as ham increase the risk of asthma. The study enrolled 971 male and female participants from five cities in France. The enrollees, not all of whom had asthma, filled out a 118-item food-frequency questionnaire.

Cured items included ham, sausage and dried sausage. Exposure was categorized as less than one serving a week; one to three servings a week; or greater than four servings a week. Participants reported the severity of their asthma over a 12-month period and scored this from 0 to 5, with 5 being waking up from sleep with an asthma attack.

At the beginning of the study, those who consumed more than four servings of cured meat a week were more likely to be men, were slightly more likely to smoke, were slightly more obese and had slightly lower educational levels. Those who ate more than four servings a week of cured meat also were more likely to be asthmatic and have more severe asthma at the beginning of the study.

After seven years, the participants filled out another survey regarding their level of asthma. Among those who ate less than one serving of cured meat a week, 14 percent reported increased asthma symptoms; among

SUDOKU

ASK THE DOCTORS Robert Ashley

those who ate more than four servings of cured meat a week, 22 percent reported increased asthma symptoms. Noting that increased weight also is a factor for worsening asthma symptoms, the researchers adjusted for weight, smoking and educational levels – and still found a correlation between worsening asthma and cured meat.

Oddly enough, two U.S. studies have found that people newly diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease were more likely to eat cured meats four to six times a week, but they did not find an increase in asthma risk. The cured meats here also included hot dogs and bacon.

As for why eating cured meat might worsen asthma, theoretically, nitrites can cause oxidative stress within the lungs and lead to more inflammation within the body, which can worsen asthma. While nitrates and nitrites may worsen asthma, I am not certain they create asthma. In addition, these studies did not separate meats cured by nitrites or nitrates and those cured by other means.

The take-home message: Stay away from meats cured with sodium nitrite or potassium nitrate. Not only are cured meats associated with greater obesity and increased asthma, meats cured with nitrites and nitrates increase the risk of cancer. If you don’t have asthma and you don’t smoke cigarettes, cured meats without nitrites and nitrates should be safe, but still, it’s better to limit them.

Dear Abby: I DEAR ABBY have been with my husband for Jeanne 12 years, married Phillips for three. I had an affair a little more than a year ago that he found out about. He has let me back into the house, but he demeans my character at every opportunity. I don’t fight back because I know I am the cause of his pain.

We have a 3-year-old daughter, and I am now six weeks pregnant with his child. I do not want to argue with him, because if I had been a better wife, he would not be so angry. But the hurt I feel from his words over the past months is weighing heavy on me, especially with my new hormones. I’m holding it in, but should I leave?

Become a single mother? How can I get him to a counselor? – Needs Counseling Dear Needs: I do not mean to minimize your infidelity, but you had better take a stand and give your husband an ultimatum: Heal the marriage through marriage counseling, or you leave. Be prepared to follow through, because without professional intervention nothing will change. The situation you describe is unhealthy for you, your unborn child and your little girl.

Your daughter should not be raised to think this toxic environment is normal.

Dear Abby: I’m a lesbian and have been in a relationship with a woman for two months now.

She never offers to pay for our dates, and she hasn’t planned or executed one, either. We’re both very feminine, although she would be considered slightly more so than I am. I feel this is important because I’m somehow the more dominant one. How can I address this concern without hurting her? I would like her to reciprocate somewhat. – Dominant In California Dear Dominant: Address the imbalance in your relationship by being straightforward about it. Good manners dictate when someone has been asked out, treated, etc., that person should reciprocate. Because that’s not happening, you need to discuss it with her. To do so isn’t hurtful; it’s common sense, because unless you do, this pattern will continue.

Dear Abby: I have been with the same man for six months. He has been separated from his wife for 10 years – but not legally. When he finally decided to tell her there is someone else and he’s moving on, she went crazy. She said she wants alimony and half of everything, plus the house will have to be sold because she will not allow “the new woman” to live in “her” house.

It’s been a month since he told her. We talked to a lawyer about a divorce, but all he is worried about is paying alimony and losing the house. I am getting sick of hearing about it. All he keeps saying is, “I love you, but I don’t want to lose my house or pay her money.” What should I do? –

2 GIRLS SOCCER: PRAIRIE RIDGE 3, CARY-GROVE 2

Late goals seal the win for Prairie Ridge

By JOHN WILKINSON

jwilkinson@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – Prairie Ridge sophomore Abby Klimkowski found herself much further up the field than usual, and at a crucial time, as the Wolves’ attack flowed forward Tuesday in search of a tying goal in the final eight minutes of a conference match with Cary-Grove.

“I don’t typically play that position,” Klimkowski said, “so I was just running and I saw the open space and like ‘I’ve got to do this, this is a big game, my whole family is here watching me, I’ve got to score. I don’t want to miss, I don’t want to be the person that loses the game for everyone.’”

“Shoot for the corner, don’t miss.”

She didn’t, beating Trojans goalkeeper Miranda Malone to make it 2-all in the 73rd minute.

“When she got it I thought she could put it away,” Wolves coach Andre Watson said. “What I’d have to say is that play is probably going to be my favorite play of the year, because there was nothing fluky about it. “...I love those kind of goals because that’s a team goal. Some of these others were a little bit more individual athletic ability and style, but that’s going to be probably my favorite goal of the year.”

Within the next 90 seconds, the Wolves struck again, this time Silber getting on the end of a long direct pass, rounding the goalkeeper and finishing.

Her second of the game proved to be the winner as Prairie Ridge beat Cary-Grove, 3-2, in a Fox Valley Conference game at Prairie Ridge.

“I couldn’t be more proud of the girls and how they just kept going and that fighting spirit,” Watson said. “You could just hear them the whole time when they were down 2-1 they we’re like ‘we’re fine, we’ve got it.’ It’s great to know you have those kind of players that have confidence in each other.”

The visiting Trojans (3-2, 0-1) took a lead six min-

Alex Airhart sent a seemingly harmless cross in toward the goal, but Prairie Ridge goalkeeper Taylor Golt misread its bounce off the muddy surface in front of her and it rolled past into the goal.

Silber tied the score with an impressive 23rd-minute strike. The junior forward received a pass with her back to goal, settled it, turned and hit it off the bounce with the outside of her right foot. The ball looped over Malone into the top of the goal, tying it 1-all at halftime.

“She’s a strong athletic player with phenomenal skills, she’s kind of got all the attributes for a great soccer players,” Watson said. “What she does so well is she comes to the ball and turns on it so quick-

ly. Within three seconds of receiving the ball she’s turned 180 degrees and she’s attacking at the goal.”

Cary-Grove went back ahead midway through the second half when Maddie Jannusch perfectly placed a low free kick inside the far post. Miranda Malone came up with a couple excellent one-on-one saves – out of nine on the day –to keep the Trojans in the lead, but Prairie Ridge (5-1, 1-0) eventually broke through.

“We kept the ball well and we were able to construct some attacks and we were able to look at their dangerous players and keep them under control for most of the time,” Cary-Grove coach Ray Kristol said.

“Then some gaps will open up from time to time and they took advantage. Give PR credit for taking advantage of those opportunities.”

Miller finished with six hits and one walk on 98 pitches. The runs were the first Priester has allowed this season.

“It’s always fun to get a chance to compete at a level like that, against such great pitching,” said Priester, a 6-foot-3 right-hander with six NCAA Division I offers. “(Miller) was a little bit better today, but we gave it a shot.”

Pennington wound up 2 for 2 against Miller, his old travel teammate with Elite Baseball Training.

4 GIRLS SOFTBALL: HUNTLEY 2, DUNDEE-CROWN 0

Huntley’s Giese outduels Dundee-Crown’s Ruggles

By SEAN HAMMOND

shammond@shawmedia.com HUNTLEY – Huntley softball coach Mark Petryniec called Tuesday’s starting pitchers “two of the better pitchers in McHenry County.”

The billing lived up to the hype.

Huntley’s Tiffany Giese outmatched Dundee-Crown’s Sydney Ruggles in a 2-0 win to open Fox Valley Conference play.

Giese struck out seven and allowed two hits in seven innings of work.

“It felt good,” Giese said. “I really have been struggling lately. To come back and do that was good. My fastball was my main pitch. I was able to spot it, that helped.”

Ruggles struck out nine hitters in her six innings for the Chargers (5-3, 0-1 FVC). One good inning at the plate was all the Red Raiders (5-4, 1-0 FVC) needed to pull out the win.

The two pitchers cruised through the first four innings. In the bottom half of the fifth, Huntley’s Teagan O’Rilley led off with a double. One batter later, second baseman Caitlin Brown doubled the run home.

OUTSIDE THE BOX SCORE q UNSUNG HERO

Caitlyn Brown Huntley, Sr., 2B

Hitting in the No. 8 spot in the lineup, Brown smacked a double in the fifth to drive in a run. She later stole third and the throw got away from Dundee-Crown, allowing Brown to score.

q THE NUMBER

16

Strikeouts combined between Huntley pitcher Tiffany Giese and DundeeCrown pitcher Sydney Ruggles.

q AND ANOTHER THING ...

Ruggles did not allow a hit until the fourth inning.

Brown went down 0-2 in the at-bat, then fought off three foul balls before clubbing the double to give her team the lead. “(Ruggles) was throwing a lot of rise balls inside,” Brown said. “We just had to adjust and aim for the top of it.”

Brown stole third during the next

at-bat. D-C third baseman Deanna Origer lost control of the ball and appeared to be shaken up on the play.

Brown hopped up from her slide into third and scored on the play. Origer took a moment to collect herself, but stayed in the game.

“When you’re facing a pitcher like Sydney, you’ve got to hope that she misses her spot,” Petryniec said.

“With her speed it’s going to go. Our girls didn’t get frustrated. She’s going to have her success against us and you hope we can get one or two across.”

Two was all the Raiders needed.

The Chargers’ best opportunity came a half inning later in the top of the sixth. Leadoff hitter Hannah Gestrich doubled, then stole third. Origer walked and the Charger were in business: first-and-third, nobody out.

Claire Weeks hit a fly ball to center that was just shallow enough for D-C coach Tracy Beatty to hold the runner at third. Ruggles stepped up next, with a chance to help her own cause. The Chargers’ pitcher grounded into a 6-3 double play to end the inning.

“We put some runners on, we just couldn’t get the timely hit today that

would have pushed a couple runs for us,” Beatty said. “We just didn’t take advantage of it from the batter’s box.”

Gestrich had both of D-C’s two hits, a single in the third and the double in the sixth. Ruggles took the loss in the circle.

“Sydney Ruggles throws her heart out every single day,” Beatty said.

“She’s got good defense behind her.”

For Huntley, three of its four hits were doubles. O’Rilley, Brown and Autumn Kasal each hit doubles. Giese went 1 for 1 from the leadoff spot with a single and two walks. She stole three bases, but was called out on another stolen base attempt after leaving the bag early.

Petryniec was proud of his pitcher’s performance.

“It was a good game by Tif,” he said.

“She’s a workhorse.”

INDIANS 2, WHITE SOX 1 (10 INN.)

WHITE SOX NOTES

Indians top Sox in home opener

By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN dvanschouwen@suntimes.com

CLEVELAND – There’s no shame in not raising a banner on Opening Day. The White Sox were only one of 28 teams that didn’t this week.

They were one of two teams in the city not to raise one, though, so there is some organizational and territorial wincing in that. And baseball’s other flag ceremony, after the Cubs’ at Wrigley Field Monday night, took place before their eyes Tuesday in Cleveland.

It happened inside their very own division where the Indians of the AL Central continued their domination of the Sox by winning 2-1 in 10 innings after raising the American League championship banner.

Rings were handed out. A sellout crowd gave adoring, deserved approval as the Sox, picked by most to finish at or near the bottom of the division in 2017, joined the spectators and watched at field level.

“When you see another team do that, it adds motivation and it puts a little chip on your shoulder,’’ righthander Nate Jones, the longest-tenured player on the Sox roster. “You want that to be the White Sox. “You think to yourself, ‘Why not us? Let’s get it. Let’s get after it. Let’s do it.’ ’’ The rebuilding Sox, who fell to 2-4 with the loss, are quite far from being on the right side of these things.

It’s been 12 years since they celebrated their World Series championship, with one playoff appearance in the

interim.

“Unfortunately we’re on this side watching them, but maybe it’ll be a little motivation,’’ manager Rick Renteria said.

There is a plan in place, at least. In the meantime, the Sox will try to keep up with the Indians of the world with the roster they have to work with.

“You want that for yourself too, for your team,’’ said third baseman Todd Frazier, who came out of a 1-for17 slump with a double and game-tying home run against an otherwise unflinching Carlos Carrasco (seven innings, four hits). “You see the glories of winning and it’s pretty cool. To sit there on the other side and say it’s not exciting to watch, it’s a travesty to say that because everybody dreams of doing that. You get a ring for winning the American League, there’s nothing better than that.’’

There seems to be nothing worse for the Sox than playing at Progressive Field, where they have lost 25 of their past 37 games. The repeated beatings here and from the rest of the division as well finally convinced general manager Rick Hahn, vice president Ken Williams and chairman Jerry Reinsdorf to give up on failed, half-measured attempts at winning.

A second straight good start in as many outings from James Shields (5 1 ⁄3 innings, one run, a first-inning homer by Francisco Lindor) and scoreless bullpen work from Zach Putnam, Jones (despite three walks, one intentional) and David Robertson gave the Sox a chance to spoil the Indians home

opener. Edwin Encarnacion hit into inning-ending double plays with the bases loaded in the sixth and eighth innings. But Tommy Kahnle gave up a two-out walk to Lindor and a double into the left-field corner by Michael Brantley in the 10th.

“I thought we played well,’’ Shields said. “They have a good bullpen over there – [Andrew] Miller, [Bryan] Shaw, [Cody] Allen at the end -- and I felt like we did a good job of hanging in there as long as we possibly could.’’

RODON PROGRESSING – BUT SLOWLY

Left-hander Carlos Rodon, meanwhile, continues on his throwing program in Arizona as he works through upper biceps bursitis, but he still hasn’t thrown off a mound, which makes a May return less probable than first thought when he was placed on the disabled list to begin the season.

General manager Rick Hahn said at the time Rodon would be re-evaluated on or about April 10 and could possibly start throwing off a mound.

But Rodon will continue to throw off flat ground and will be re-evaluated when the Sox return home next week.

Rodon made one start during spring training. The No. 3 overall draft pick in 2014 was 9-10 with a 4.04 ERA last season, his second year in the majors.

THIS AND THAT

As expected, right-hander Dylan Covey will fill Rodon’s open slot when the Sox start a series Friday in Minneapolis against the Twins. He’ll be followed by Jose Quintana on Saturday and James Shields on Sunday.

Cleveland Indians’ Michael Brantley (right) is welcomed by teammates after Brantley hit a game-winning RBI double off White Sox pitcher Tommy Kahnle in the 10th inning Tuesday.

CLEVELAND – Left-hander Derek Holland said he was intrigued by the prospect of working with Don Cooper when he decided to sign a one-year deal with the White Sox during the offseason, and after going through his first spring training with the Sox pitching coach, he’s convinced he made a good career move.

“I really have to give a lot of credit to Coop,’’ Holland said Tuesday. “For getting me in the right position. I’m back to where I feel comfortable, putting less stress on the shoulder. I feel very good out there on the mound.’’

The Rangers declined an $11 million club option in the offseason on Holland, who is attempting to put a difficult three-year period marked by injury behind him. The Sox signed “The Dutch Oven” for $6 million, and he can earn an additional $1 million, if he pitches 150 innings and another $1 million if he hits 200. Fighting shoulder and knee injuries, Holland hasn’t topped 200 since 2013 when he went 10-9 with a 3.42 ERA over a career-high 213 innings.

It’s early, but after allowing two earned runs with five strikeouts and one walk over six innings in his first start against the Twins, Holland takes the ball again Wednesday against the Indians with a bright outlook on 2017.

Cubs raise the flag on 2016 championship

RED HOT BUYS

Now through April 30

By BRUCE MILES

bmiles@dailyherald.com The Cubs hit no home runs Monday night in their 3-2 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers in the Wrigley Field opener.

As far as the rest of the night went, they knocked pretty much everything else out of the park.

The outdoor plaza on the west side of Wrigley Field has given the entire area a new look, and it seemed to be a big hit with fans.

And the rain-delayed banner-raising ceremony left more than a few people reaching for a tissue, and not because of the rain.

“It was pretty cool,” said pitcher Jon Lester, who started the game. “It’s nice.

It was, I think, better than what we expected. Obviously, when the crowd sticks around for a two-hour rain delay, that’s always nice. The team going out there and raising the flag and some, I don’t want to say old guys, but some old guys coming back and doing the same thing.

“It was special night, something that will go down in my book as something that I’ll remember for a long, long time.

I now look forward to Wednesday and getting the fun stuff, getting the ring. So that will be good.”

Lester meant no disrespect to those “old guys,” who happened to be Cubs Hall of Famers Ryne Sandberg, Billy Williams and Fergie Jenkins, who raised three of the four banners the Cubs put up as they commemorated the 1907 and 1908 world championships, the 2016 National League pennant and the World Series title from last year.

As Lester mentioned, there’s more.

The Cubs will receive their World Series rings before Wednesday night’s game as a group of fans will do the presentation.

The Cubs could have done it all Monday – present the rings and unfurl the banners. But when it’s 108 years between titles, it’s hard not to want the celebration to last.

“I think so that fans can enjoy them each on their own,” team president Theo Epstein said. “That’s a lot to put into one night, not that you couldn’t do it, but something might get lost. I can understand doing it on two separate nights. I think it will prove to be a nice benefit to the fans.

“First of all, more people can say they were there for one of the ceremonies. Hopefully, they’re special moments. By the first pitch on Wednesday

we can turn the page.”

Manager Joe Maddon has stated his preference for the banner-raising over the ring ceremony. Monday night did not disappoint Maddon.

“It was awesome,” he said. “It was really well done. It’s just a really special night for all of us, for the fan base, for the organization. It was a really special evening. I really liked the idea of Billy, Ryno and Fergie raising them and then our guys. Really well thought out. Just a special evening.”

It was even more special for Anthony Rizzo, the team leader who led the Cubs in raising the 2016 world championship banner and then capped the night (into the early hours of Tuesday morning) with a game-winning RBI single.

“I’ll remember this day for as long as I play baseball,” he said. “The walk-off caps it off. That pregame ceremony, I really, honestly didn’t think it would be that amazing a job the Cubs did. The videos, the tribute, it’s amazing.

“The fans, just how amazing they were, we had this whole offseason to dissect it and realize how much it meant to so many people from all over the world, all over the country. For them to enjoy that, for us to enjoy it, it was really cool, it was really cool. It’s our first time back at Wrigley. Being here is special. Being able to do that, we’re the only people alive that have ever done that.”

BULLS

Win in final game assures Bulls of spot in playoffs

By HERB GOULD

hgould@suntimes.com Eighty-one was not enough. But if the Bulls can win Game No. 82 Wednesday vs. the Nets, they can assure themselves a playoff slot.

If not, they could still sneak in with a loss by Miami.

But they’re embracing the opportunity rather than feeling the pressure, coach Fred Hoiberg said after practice Tuesday.

“The mood is good,’’ Hoiberg said.

“You have to play your game. You can’t play tight. We have to do what has made us a successful team. We’ve won six of eight. We need to do the things that have helped us along in this stretch.’’

Hoiberg said Rajon Rondo, who has missed the last three games with a sprained right wrist, is day-to-day.

But the veteran point guard said he’s making strides.

“My health is fine,’’ Rondo said.

“I played some one-on-one [Monday] and I fell pretty hard. But I was able

to come out this morning and shoot some basketballs. I might [play].’’

Rondo participated in most of the Bulls’ contact drills in practice, Hoiberg said.

If he does play, Rondo said he doesn’t expect to be limited.

“Not really. It’s not as painful as it was two days ago,’’ he said. “I’m confident in my team, but I do want to play. I miss playing the game. I miss getting up and down. But I’m going to try to do the right thing for myself and for the team.’’

Although the Nets are last in the Eastern Conference, they have won four of their past six, including Saturday’s 107-106 win in Brooklyn over the Bulls, who blew a nine-point lead with 4:24 to go.

“We need to go out there with unbelievable focus,’’’ Hoiberg said.

“They’re playing their best basketball of the season right now when you look at their recent stretch.

“They’re [the] fastest paced team in the league. We have to get back in transition.”

NHL PLAYOFFS: BLACKHAWKS VS. PREDATORS

It’s anything but an ideal first-round cakewalk for the Hawks, but the edges in goaltending and experience are big ones.

Hayden has the look of a Quenneville favorite, physical and hardworking. But none of them has ever played in a Stanley Cup playoff game. And none of them has ever played a season this long, this taxing.

How the rookies hold up under the unrelenting pressure and grind of the playoffs will go a long way toward determining the Hawks’ fate. Of course, with six three-time champs to lean on, that burden is eased a bit.

Quoteworthy: “When you show that nothing really fazes you regardless of what the other team throws at you, it’s kind of an intimidating thing,” Toews said. “So that experience is obviously something that we expect from our lineup going forward.”

CENTER OF ATTENTION Noteworthy: Artem Anisimov hasn’t

played since suffering a leg injury March 14 in Montreal, but is expected to play in Game 1 on Thursday, returning to his usual spot between Panarin and Kane. After skating for a week in Chicago during the Hawks’ recent road trip, his conditioning should be fine, but how about his timing? Few players can do what Kane did two years ago, when he returned from a broken clavicle and stepped in for Game 1 without missing a beat. Anisimov matched a career-high with 22 goals before the injury, and his excellent all-around play – while overshadowed by his flashier linemates – is critical to the Hawks’ success. Anisimov plays a significant role at even strength, on the power play and on the penalty kill. But only if he’s 100 percent.

Quoteworthy: “I’m going to continue to go to the net and play hard every shift and do all my stuff,” Anisimov said.

• Wednesday, April 12, 2017

The Nashville Predators aren’t your typical eighth seed. With the addition of top center Ryan Johansen last season and No. 1 defenseman P.K. Subban last summer, the Predators were a trendy pick to reach the Stanley Cup Final this season. And for good reason. They have high-end scorers up front and one of the best and most aggressive blue lines in the league, led by Subban, Roman Josi, Ryan Ellis and Mattias Ekholm.

In fact, if not for a dreadful 6-12 record in overtime and shootouts, the Predators easily could have been a 100-point team. And there are no 3-on-3 overtimes or shootouts to worry about in the playoffs.

“It’s a tough team to play against, no doubt,” said Patrick Kane, who didn’t sound as if he was simply blowing smoke. “I think it’s one of the tougher teams in the league.”

But, hey, look on the bright side.

The only two times the Hawks have met the Predators in the first round, in 2010 and 2015, they went on to win the Stanley Cup. Here are some X-factors that could determine whether it happens again.

Police officers stand in front of Dortmund’s damaged team bus after an explosion Tuesday before the Champions League quarterfinal soccer match between Borussia Dortmund and AS Monaco in Dortmund, Germany. sia Dortmund,” Dortmund Police Chief Gregor Lange. Investigators are not excluding any possible angles in their investigation, while the “concrete background” to the blasts remains unclear, he said.

There were three explosions near the Dortmund bus as the team left the L’Arrivee Hotel and Spa on the outskirts of the western city of Dortmund

for the stadium, about 6 miles away, at 7:15 p.m. local time, police said.

A window on the bus was damaged, and Spanish defender Marc Bartra was injured. Club spokesman Sascha Fligge said Bartra was operated on late Tuesday for a broken bone in his right wrist and to remove “foreign objects” from his arm.

Dortmund goalkeeper Roman Buer-

Masters behind him, Dustin Johnson puts short memory to work

By DOUG FERGUSON The Associated Press

Dustin Johnson was back on the stationary bike, moving forward without really going anywhere.

The good news for golf’s No. 1 player is that an MRI showed only a deep bruise on the left side of his lower back. If doctors had taken images a little higher up the torso, they also might have seen a slight tear in his heart.

“One thing I never want to have to do again,” Johnson said Tuesday, “is watch a major from my couch.”

At least he watched. And it wasn’t all bad.

He was thrilled to see Sergio Garcia overcome a two-shot deficit in the Masters and two decades of frustrations in the majors. Johnson could relate to that, having been in position to win a major four times before winning the U.S. Open last summer at Oakmont.

Good luck finding someone who can relate to Johnson’s experience at the 81st Masters.

Sure, there have been times when a No. 1 player had to withdraw from a major. But not when the player was coming off three straight victories against the strongest fields of the year. Not when that player was five minutes and 20 yards from the first tee.

And never has an injury to a No. 1 player been so bizarre on so many levels.

He had finished his final nine holes of practice Wednesday before the storms rolled in. Johnson had gone to the gym and had just returned to his rented house at Augusta when it started raining and he

wanted to move his car.

Wearing only socks, he slipped down the staircase, crashing onto his back and left elbow.

“It was terrible,” Johnson said. “And the weirdest part is, I never walk around in socks. For some reason if I walk around barefooted, my left foot starts to hurt. That’s why I always have shoes on. But I just got back from the gym and wanted to run down and move the car over. And I slipped.”

Johnson said it was the worst pain he has ever felt.

“I thought I broke my back in half,” he said. “I really thought my back was broken.”

He still thought about playing when he left the practice range Thursday, only to realize on the putting green that he couldn’t. Johnson said he was hitting his 4-iron about 200 yards in the air (it usually flies 235 yards) and he had no idea which direction the ball was going until he hit it. Over the next 15 minutes, on the cart ride to the putting green and a few more full swings between putts, reality won out.

“The more I thought about it, there was no chance,” he said. “It just took a while to convince myself.”

There was a small measure of relief that tests revealed only a bruise. When he flew home to Florida, he said, his lower back hurt for two days. Now it’s in a confined area near the bruise. He has returned to a routine, which includes work in the gym.

“I’m not really doing much,” Johnson said. “Today I started moving a little bit. Yesterday I did a little AP photo bit of chest and arms. Moving up and down, I’m fine.

If I’m twisting, it’s a little sore. And I’m making some Dustin Johnson hits on the 13th hole during a practice swings, but I’m not hitting any balls.” round for the Masters tournament April 5 in Augusta, Ga.

DORTMUND, Germany – Three explosions went off near the team bus of Borussia Dortmund, one of Germany’s top soccer clubs, as it set off for a Champions League quarterfinal match Tuesday evening. One of Dortmund’s players was injured.

Police said they were working on the assumption that the blasts were directed at the Dortmund team and caused by “serious explosive devices,” which might have been hidden in a hedge near a car park.

The explosions happened as the team was departing its hotel for a firstleg match against Monaco. The game was called off shortly before kickoff and rescheduled for Wednesday.

A letter claiming responsibility was found near the site of the blasts, prosecutor Sandra Luecke told a late evening news conference. She said investigators are examining the authenticity of what was written in the letter, but wouldn’t reveal more about its contents, citing the ongoing investigation.

The case is being investigated as attempted homicide, Luecke said.

“We had to assume, and assumed right from the start, that this was a targeted attack against the team of Borus-

ki said the team bus had just pulled out of the hotel driveway when an explosion — a “huge bang” – happened and sent glass flying. Buerki, who is from Switzerland, told Swiss daily Blick that he was sitting in the last row of the bus, next to Bartra.

Bartra was hit by shards from the broken back window, he added. Players ducked for cover, wondering whether there would be more explosions.

“We’re all shocked – nobody thought about a football match in the minutes after that,” Buerki said.

Lange said a further “suspicious object” was found at the scene, but it does not appear to have been another explosive device.

Inside the stadium, supporters of Monaco, which plays in the French league, chanted “Dortmund, Dortmund” in sympathy for the German side. Dortmund residents, for their part, used social media to offer accommodation to stranded Monaco supporters ahead of their rescheduled match in Europe’s premier soccer club competition.

“The team is totally shocked, that’s clear. It’s our task now to digest this somehow because it’s only 24 hours before we have to play. That’s our job,” Dortmund CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke said.

ON THE COVER

Colomba di Pasqua, a traditional Italian Easter bread, page 4

By FRITZ HAHN

The Washington Post San Diego’s Alpine Beer Company is revered for its hop-forward West Coast IPAs, including Pure Hoppiness, Duet and Hoppy Birthday. Its latest yearround offering, Windows Up, takes a slightly different, but no less delicious, tack.

It’s not a game-changer by any means: It’s an aromatic IPA laced with Mosaic and Citra, two of the most popular hops in America. But where Windows Up succeeds is in the alchemy of the flavors: An initial wave of pineapple and mango is followed by grapefruit and a resiny dankness, finishing dry with just enough spicy, piney bitterness. It’s all bound together by a sweet, caramel-like malt.

Beer writers and judges talk about balanced beers, and this one, to me, seems especially well-made: The competing flavors of tropical fruit and resin are woven together, yin and yang, into one package, with an underlying current of malt that keeps you from noticing the 7 percent alcohol by volume.

When I’ve been talking to friends and

The Easter table’s main attractions – lamb by the leg, ham bigger than a diver’s helmet – are built to feed a crowd. But options for a modest holiday gathering can be rustled up more easily these days, thanks to the availability of tidy lamb roasts in netting and an up-and-coming fresh ham alternative.

Spring is the season to buy fresh lamb, as you’ll be rewarded with more flavor than a frozen cut yields.

The shoulder is a juicier and chewier cut than the leg, so slow-roasting and braising are the optimal ways to cook it. A rolled-and-tied boneless leg needs to spend less time in the oven per pound than a shoulder, and it cooks more evenly than a butterflied leg with its thick and thin sections of meat. It can be trimmed to fit almost any appetite, but via your butcher or local farmers market purveyor, you’ll find a less expensive alternative in the lamb breast – the flat and fatty cut atop lamb ribs. It can be rolled as well, and is even more receptive to developing flavor through spices and stuffing.

Ham, the huge cut from the pig’s hind leg, became an Easter tradition because the legs that were hung in the fall to cure in smokehouses would be ready by spring. Fresh hams are more available but still are a rare find in grocery stores because they are more perishable than other large cuts of pork. Their size is the main drawback; at 20 to 25 pounds, fresh ham is a tough choice for a smaller crowd.

Butterflied and rolled front-leg sections of pork are a fresh ham alternative. They have less girth and more flavor than what comes from the back leg. You can call it a ham roast and excuse any nitpicky terminology types from the table.

A benefit of this cut is the fat cap and skin, which keeps the meat moist as it cooks and, treated to high heat at the end, is rendered crispy enough to cut into bits and make one decadent garnish.

So place your orders with producers and butchers, and explore ways to use smaller cuts. Here are two ways to go for small lamb and ham roasts.

Garlic and Mint Roasted Lamb Photo by Deb Lindsey for The Washington Post

Garlic and Mint Roasted Lamb 6 to 8 servings

For the lamb 8 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped 2 ounces fresh mint leaves Leaves from 1 sprig rosemary, coarsely chopped Finely grated zest of 2 lemons (about 1 tablespoon) Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper 1/4 cup olive oil One 4-pound boneless leg of lamb roast, tied or in cotton netting For the jus 2 teaspoons olive oil 1 medium carrot, scrubbed well and coarsely chopped 1/2 medium onion, coarsely chopped 1 rib celery, coarsely chopped 1 cup dry red wine 3/4 cup no-salt-added chicken broth Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper For the lamb: Combine the garlic, mint, rosemary, lemon zest and a generous pinch each of salt and pepper in the bowl of a mortar and pestle or in a food processor; grind or pulse for 20 seconds, then add the oil. Grind or pulse to form a paste.

Lay the roast on a platter lined with plastic wrap, fat side down. Rub all the paste into the meat all over; let it rest at a cool room temperature for 2 hours.

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Heat a stove-top-safe roasting pan over medium-high heat. Once it’s quite hot, add the lamb, fat side down first; sear until golden all over, turning as needed. Transfer to the oven; slow-roast for 2½ hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 140 to 145 degrees (medium-rare). Carefully pour the pan juices into a large liquid (heatproof) measuring cup.

Let the meat rest for 30 to 45 minutes; meanwhile, make the jus: Combine the oil, carrot, onion and celery in medium sauté pan over medium-high heat. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes, or until softened.

Add the wine and stir with a spatula, dislodging any browned bits. Cook for 10 minutes, or until the wine has reduced by half. Stir in the reserved pan juices and the broth. Reduce the heat to medium; cook for 10 to 20 minutes, or to the desired consistency (the longer you cook the jus, the more concentrated its flavor will be but there will be less of it). Strain, if desired, discarding the solids. Taste and season with salt and/or pepper, as needed.

Transfer the lamb to a cutting board; discard the netting or twine. Cut crosswise into thin slices and serve warm, with the jus.

Ham Roast With Leeks 6 to 8 servings

For the meat 4 to 6 limes 1 cup olive oil 1 tablespoon dried sage, crumbled between your fingers

1 tablespoon ground cumin 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves 2 teaspoons coarse kosher or sea salt 1 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper One 6½-pound skin-on fresh picnic, pork butt or shoulder, butterflied

4 cloves garlic, cut into very thin slices (optional) For the stuffing 1 large or 2 small leeks (trimmed), white and light-green parts

2 ribs celery, coarsely chopped 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves 1 tablespoon olive oil For the meat: Cut the limes in half and squeeze their juice (to taste) into a mixing bowl. Toss in the spent lime halves, then add oil, sage, cumin, thyme, salt and pepper, whisking to incorporate.

Invert the ham roast so it’s skin side down, on a platter. Use a knife to slash sections of meat, to help even out the surface. Pour the marinade evenly over. Then make small cuts for inserting all the thin slices of garlic, if using. Lay the spent lime halves so their pulp is touching the meat. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 8 hours, or up to overnight.

For the stuffing: Cut the leeks in half lengthwise and rinse thoroughly to remove any grit. Pat dry and cut crosswise into 1/2inch slices, placing them in a mixing bowl as you work. Add the celery and thyme, then drizzle with the oil, tossing to coat.

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spread a large sheet of plastic wrap on a clean counter top.

Place the pork on the plastic wrap, skin side down, with a short side parallel to the edge of the counter. Distribute the leek mixture evenly over the meat. Carefully roll the farther, short edge tightly toward the center, then fold the near short edge over the first roll, so the skin shows on top. Some of the leeks may fall out the ends; either push them back in or add to the roasting pan.

Use kitchen twine to tie the meat at 2-inch intervals (a total of about 6); start the first tie just off-center, and work out toward the edges on both sides. Pull and knot as tightly as possible, a few times for each one. The knots should line up on the side. Do not score the skin.

Transfer to a roasting pan, placing 3 of the spent lime halves and 1/4 cup of the marinade in the pan as well (discard the rest of it). Roast for 1½ to 2 hours, or until the internal temperature registers 140 degrees F. on an instant-read thermometer.

Increase the oven temperature to 475 degrees F.; continue to roast for 20 minutes, or until the skin is nicely crisped and the internal temperature of the meat is 150 to 155 degrees F. Strain and reserve the pan juices in a fat separator cup, if desired, for serving. Let the roast rest for at least 30 minutes.

When you’re ready to carve, discard the twine. Make a horizontal cut to slice off the skin and its fat, which should come away in a single piece. If desired, cut this up into small bits and gather in a bowl, to use as a garnish. Slice the roast thinly. Serve warm.

Nutrition information: Ingredients are too variable for a meaningful analysis.

To prepare the preferment, combine the flour and yeast in a small bowl and mix to combine.

Add the water and mix by hand until a dough forms, about 1 minute. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside in a warm place until bubbly and doubled in size, about 10 hours.

To prepare the first dough, place the preferment dough in the bowl of a stand mixer. Add the flour, yeast, sugar, butter, milk and egg yolk.

Using the dough hook, mix on medium-high speed until a dough forms and the butter is incorporated, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a lightly oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and place in a warm place until doubled in size, about 12 hours or overnight.

To prepare the final dough, place the first dough in the bowl of a stand mixer. Add the flour, yeast, salt, vanilla, egg yolks and zest.

Using the dough hook, mix on medium speed for 3 minutes, scraping the bowl occasionally.

Increase the speed to high, and mix until the dough begins to pull away from the sides of the bowl, about 4 minutes.

Add about one-third of the butter and mix on high speed until the butter is incorporated and the dough begins to form around the hook, about 4 minutes. With the mixer running, add half of the sugar and half of the remaining butter. Add the remaining sugar and remaining butter, then increase the speed to high and mix until the dough has pulled away from the sides of the bowl and formed a ball around the dough

hook, about 5 minutes. The dough will be very sticky, but should be firm enough to handle.

Add the candied orange peel and almond paste, and fold into the dough, kneading gently just until incorporated. Transfer the dough to a lightly-oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and set aside to rest for 10 minutes. In the bowl, fold the dough in half, then in half again. Re-cover and rest for an additional 10 minutes.

Shape the dough into a loose loaf and transfer to a Colomba di Pasqua mold (or 8- by 4-inch loaf pan). Cover loosely with plastic wrap and set aside to ferment until nearly doubled in size, about 2 hours.

Meanwhile, to prepare the topping, combine the corn flour, all-purpose flour, almond flour, sugar, oil, vanilla, and egg white in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment.

Mix on low speed until small crumbs form, about 30 seconds. Remove from the mixer and add the almonds, tossing gently to combine.

Set aside.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Gently stretch the sides of the dough to fit the shape of the mold. Sprinkle the bread with the topping and set aside to rest for one more hour. When pressed gently, the dough should spring back about halfway. Bake until the topping is golden brown and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean, about 45 minutes.

Place on a rack to cool completely before serving.

By ELIZABETH KARMEL

1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric Paprika, a sprinkling for garnish Curly parsley for garnish Pita chips (homemade or store bought) Raw vegetables

The Associated Press

Hummus generally contains five basic ingredients; chickpeas, tahini, lemon, garlic and olive oil. Once you have these ingredients combined, it is easy to add other herbs, spices and even roasted carrots – like I do here – to flavor and season basic hummus.

In the early spring, I love to roast fresh carrots until they are deeply caramelized and purée them to add to the base of chickpeas and tahini. To deepen the golden color, I add a touch of turmeric. The combined result is a deep golden yellow hummus that is the perfect color for daffodil season.

The secret to creating the creamiest and freshest hummus is making sure that the skins of the chickpeas are removed and discarded. Many brands of water-packed cooked and canned chickpeas come mostly skinless, so this is not as labor-intensive as it may sound, and it’s well worth the effort.

Serve the hummus with crudites for a springy colorful snack or appetizer and pita chips. I like to make my own pita chips baked with a light brush of olive oil and seasoned with a sprinkling of coarse salt and za’atar. Once they are seasoned, you can cut them into triangles – six per pita bread is a good size – and bake them in a 350 degrees F. oven until they are crisp.

Roasted Carrot Hummus

Servings: 16 appetizer-sized portions

Roasted Carrot Hummus AP photo

Start to finish: 50 minutes 1/2 cup well-roasted carrots, cut into small pieces (about 6 small carrots) Juice of 2 lemons, plus more as needed (about 2 ounces) Zest of 1 lemon 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for garnishing hummus 2 generous tablespoons tahini (sesame paste), with some of its oil 2 15-ounce cans drained chickpeas, liquid reserved and skins removed 2 cloves garlic, peeled, or to taste 1 teaspoon sea salt, or more to taste 1/4 teaspoon of white pepper or pinch of cayenne pepper 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat carrots with oil and season with salt. Place on a sheet pan and roast carrots. Remove from oven when soft and browned in places, about 30 minutes depending on the size of your carrots. Cut into small pieces and set aside.

Place carrots in a food processor with the lemon juice, lemon zest, tahini and olive oil and process until smooth, about 1 minute.

Put remaining ingredients except the paprika and the parsley in a food processor and begin to process; add a couple of tablespoons of the chickpea liquid and more olive oil as needed to allow the machine to produce a smooth purée.

The amount will vary every time you make it based on how much liquid is in the chickpeas.

Taste and adjust the seasoning (I often add more lemon juice).

Serve immediately or chilled in a shallow bowl with pita chips and raw vegetables, drizzled with olive oil and sprinkled with a bit of paprika and some parsley.

Will keep up to five days in refrigerator.

If you bid ‘em up, you had better read the cards well. This was the third consecutive six-heart contract that my wife and I bid at bridgebase.com last month.

I would have opened one club with my wife’s hand, but after she passed and I bid one heart, her three-spade response showed fourplus hearts, a maximum pass and a singleton or void somewhere. My three no-trump inquired. Then I used Roman Key Card Blackwood to learn that my partner had two aces and the heart queen. (Yes, it is surprising that East stayed silent.)

If West had led its singleton club, I could not have made the contract.

But West chose the spade six. I captured East’s 10 with my king and played a heart to dummy’s jack. East’s diamond-five discard was a blow.

Now I had to lead dummy’s diamond. East won with the queen and shifted to a club. Having no choice, I played my queen. After a diamond ruff and the heart ace-queen, I had to return to my hand to draw West’s last trump. Judging that surely East would have given West a spade ruff if the opening lead had been a singleton, I crossed to my spade queen and easily took the rest of the tricks.

Note that West was waiting to ruff my club ace.

We were the only pair out of 16 in six hearts. There were 14 in four hearts, and the final table’s auction was bizarre. It went pass - pass - one heart - pass - two hearts(!) - three diamonds (not two no-trump, which would have shown at least 5-5 in the minors) - pass - four diamonds - all pass, making five!
