TODAY’S TALKER

D.C. pays most taxes per person to U.S. government

By STEPHEN OHLEMACHER The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – As Tax Day approaches, show some love for the good people who live in the nation’s capital.

Washington, that swampy den of iniquity that politicians love to scorn, sends the most tax dollars per person to the U.S. government.

By a lot.

Last year, the District of Columbia paid Uncle Sam $37,000 per person in federal income, payroll and estate taxes. The next closest was Delaware, at $16,000 per person.

“It’s where the money is,” said Roberton Williams, a fellow at the Tax Policy Center. “The reason the District pays so much in taxes is that there are a lot of high-income people there.”

Washington is an outlier because, despite years of lobbying, it is not a state. It doesn’t even have a vote in Congress. It is, however, a city with a relatively high cost of living.

West Virginia, Mississippi and New Mexico have low median household incomes, which helps explain why they their residents pay far less in federal taxes. West Virginia paid $3,600 per person last year, while Mississippi paid $3,900 per person and New Mexico residents paid a little more than $4,000.

The Associated Press calculated each state’s per-capita tax bill using data from the IRS and population estimates from the Census Bureau.

The deadline to file federal tax returns is Tuesday. It was pushed back because the usual April 15 deadline was Saturday, and because Monday is a holiday in the District of Columbia.

The IRS says millions of taxpayers have yet to file their returns. As they do, they shouldn’t feel too bad for D.C. residents.

The nation’s capital gets a good return on its tax investment. For every dollar the District sends to the federal government, it gets back almost $4, according to a 2015 study by the New York state comptroller.

For years, the late Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan, D-N.Y., would document that New York paid more to the federal government than it got back. In 2015, the state’s comptroller took up the cause.

Washington’s rate of return is higher than any state – most of it comes from wages for federal employees. The closest state is Mississippi, which receives $2.57 in federal spending for ev-

WHERE IT’S AT

ery dollar it sends to Washington. New Mexico, West Virginia and Alabama also are big winners when it comes to federal taxes and spending.

These states are big takers because they have a lot of residents who get federal benefits, including Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, disability benefits and food stamps.

“They have lower incomes so they pay less in taxes and, because they have lower incomes, they get more federal aid,” said Morgan Scarboro, a policy analyst at the Tax Foundation.

So why do so many of these states that benefit from the federal government produce conservative politicians who complain that the government is too big?

“There is this perception that so much money is being spent on things that don’t benefit them,” Williams said. “They ignore the things that do benefit them.”

Williams cited foreign aid as a favorite target, even though it makes up only 1 percent of the federal budget, if you count military assistance.

“People view the world as cut my taxes and cut his spending,” Williams said. “His spending is wasteful and my taxes are hurting me badly.”

Most states are winners when it comes to getting more money from the federal government than they pay in taxes.

On average, Americans get $1.22 for every dollar they send to Washington, according to the New York study.

That’s why the federal government has a budget deficit.

The federal spending comes from social programs such as Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, as well as grants to state and local governments and spending on infrastructure.

States such as South Carolina, North Carolina and Virginia benefit from having large military bases.

The biggest losers when it comes to taxes and spending are New Jersey, Wyoming and Connecticut. New Jersey gets back just 77 cents for every dollar it pays, while Wyoming gets back 81 cents and Connecticut gets 83 cents.

New York gets 91 cents for every dollar it sends to Washington, according to the comptroller’s report.

All these states have incomes above the national average.

“It’s a good example of a progressive tax code,” Scarboro said. “That is how it is designed to work.”

CORRECTIONS & CLARIFICATIONS

In the editorial “Sage expansion good for area” that appeared on page A28 of Saturday’s Northwest Herald, one of the “thumbs-down” items incorrectly identified the police agency whose officers removed a passenger from a United Airlines flight at O’Hare Airport. The officers who removed the man were with the Chicago aviation police, serving with the Chicago Department of Aviation.

The Northwest Herald regrets the error.

LEARNING RIDING TECHNIQUES

Officials urge ‘safety-minded perspective’ with motorcycles

By JORDYN REILAND

jreiland@shawmedia.com As temperatures continue to rise across McHenry County, motorcyclists prepare for another season of riding. But before they take to the roads, officials are encouraging riders to use proper equipment and refresh their skills.

“The same issues we face as car drivers are going to be heightened and potentially more dangerous for motorcyclists,” said Sara Altieri, assistant coordinator of the Harper College Motorcycle Safety Training program.

The program also teaches a course at McHenry County College, which was offered over the weekend.

Altieri said motorcycle safety courses at any level can offer riders a “safety-minded perspective.”

“Completing a course like this allows a student to begin to think about how they are as car drivers and apply that to the motorcycle,” she said.

Early spring often brings about area crashes involving motorcycles, and 2017 has been no exception.

McHenry resident Lenny William Jensen III was killed in a crash April 9 when he was riding a 2010 Harley-Davidson motorcycle on Ringwood Road west of Meadowhill Lane and it left the road and struck a tree.

A Carpentersville couple also was killed in a crash April 9 at the intersection of River and Charles J. Miller roads in McHenry.

Police said a Wonder Lake woman failed to yield for the motorcycle, occupied by Dennis Edwards Spears Jr., 49, and Tanya Schaefer,

42, and the vehicles crashed in the intersection.

No citations or charges had been filed in that case as of Wednesday, authorities said.

On Saturday, friends of Schaefer and Spears Jr. hosted a motorcycle ride from Charles J. Miller and River roads on their way to the remembrance and funeral services, which were held at the Independent Order of Odd Fellows Century Lodge in

Carpentersville.

McHenry County Coroner Anne Majewski said it’s not unusual to see a string of fatal crashes right when the weather turns warmer.

Of the 21 reported motorcycle deaths between 2010 and 2017 in McHenry County, three were wearing helmets at the time.

“Most, if not all, motorcycle deaths have a component of head trauma,” Majewski said. “If there’s

any potential for protection from fatal head injuries, helmets are an answer.”

High-speed areas and riding on more rural roads also play factors in crashes throughout McHenry County.

Overall, Majewski said the county’s trends mimic those seen across the state and nation.

Judy Purcell – owner of dance supply retailer Dance ’N Tees Inc., which has a store in the center – wrote in a letter to the commission that she’s “strongly opposed” to the special use permit and noted that most of her customers are mothers with young children.

“I already have enough problems with the massage parlor located next to me,” she wrote.

An insurance company and a logistics company also raised concerns about the proposed special use permit, according to city records.

The Planning and Zoning Commission will consider Kuhlman’s request at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday at City Hall, 100 W. Woodstock St., Crystal Lake.

The commission could recommend the City Council approve or deny the permit.

Water treatment facility upgrades almost complete Aqua Illinois project fixes ‘major disrepair’

Mike Szmurlo (left), Lucas Schlueter and Patrick Wren, all of Aqua Illinois, point out improvements to the booster pumps Friday at the Crystal Lake facility.

By NATE LINHART

nlinhart@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – Nearly a year’s worth of improvements made to the Crystal Clear water facility in Crystal Lake are expected to wrap up by the end of this month.

Last summer, Aqua America acquired the Crystal Lake-based water facility. Crystal Clear serves about 293 customers near McHenry County.

“We came here to provide customers with a reliable source of water and have done so since,” said Patrick Wren, Aqua Illinois northern regional supervisor.

Wren said that the first day at Crystal Clear they lost power, and the facility was in “major disrepair.”

“When we first took over, it was blowing fuses here daily, so the first thing we

started doing was updated the electrical system here,” Wren said.

Since then, Aqua Illinois’ completed upgrades include a well house electrical replacement, water meter replacement, well replacement, service replacements and installation of an emergency backup generator.

One improvement involved replacing old booster pumps with ones up to U.S. Environmental Protection Agency standards. Wren said the new booster pumps result in better water pressure.

The final facility improvements consist of replacing pipes. Once installations are done, Aqua Illinois is estimated to have spent $467,059 in improvement costs since acquiring the facility last year.

Aqua Illinois maintains four facilities in McHenry County, including the McHenry Shores facility, which Aqua Illinois finished upgrading in the fall.

Last spring, Aqua America also acquired two McHenry County facilities from the Eastwood Manor Water Co. and the Nunda Utility Co. The two water facilities collectively serve 525 customer connections and about 1,600 people in McHenry County. Once Nunda and Eastwood Manor are fully upgraded, the combined cost of the improvements for the two facilities is estimated to be about $1 million.

“When we acquired Nunda, Eastwood and Crystal Clear, they were in as bad as shape if not worst than McHenry Shores,” Wren said.

Aqua Illinois recently held open houses for all four facilities in McHenry County to show residents the progress of their improvements and to get customer feedback. Although the Crystal

Aqua Illinois northern regional supervisor Clear facility’s improvements almost are completed, Wren said all the projects are in the early stages of a five-year plan, with future improvements involving the distribution system such as mains, hydrants and valves.

Through 2020, Aqua Illinois plans to invest $5.5 million in water system upgrades to improve water quality and service for McHenry County residents.

Residents affected are asked to register for WaterSmart Alerts, which are instant notifications of what’s going on in the system, such as precautionary boil orders or word about flushings.

“Having that information so we can communicate to our customers of what we are doing is really critical,” Aqua Illinois President Craig Blanchette said.

New Bladder Pill For Women Shocks Docs

Women in clinical trial experience dramatic reduction in trips to the bathroom, leakages, nighttime urgency and pressure without side effects.

By: C.J. Clancy Health News Syndicate If you are a women over the age of 50 with bladder troubles…then this might be the most important news you will read all year. A discovery that has doctors excited and amazed.

A new pill recently developed is reducing frequent trips to the bathroom. It is also cutting down the sudden pressure to “rush” to the ladies room.

The new pill is called Bladderol™. Its active ingredient targets all four symptoms of a weak bladder at the hormonal level.

Women are getting relief from many nightly trips to the bathroom. And from accidental leaks. They are �inding it helps them sleep through the night and wake up refreshed in the morning.

“Most women struggle in silence. Some use drug store remedies with lousy side effects,” says Vik Swanson. The President of Nexus Formulas, the makers of Bladderol™.

“Bladderol™ is safe and natural. It targets all four symptoms of bladder control for women.

This includes urgency, leakages, and urinating too often during the day and night. What’s even better is we are seeing in some cases results as quickly as four weeks”, he added.

New Research For Bladder Control The medical research team in charge of Bladderol™’s active ingredient knew it was a true success after two revelations.

Its ability to help women hold �luids longer. As well as its ability to stop leaks - also known as incontinence.

Without this ability many women feel embarrassed. Lose their sense of freedom. And some stop socializing all together.

Fortunately, Bladderol™ has users saying they have stronger bladders. Many feel for the �irst time in years. Some say they don’t have to worry about always having to wear pads or adult diapers. While other say they don’t feel chained to the bathroom anymore.

“I thought my weak bladder was just a part of getting older,” said Cathy Burke an early user of Bladderol™. “Thankfully, now I know that’s not the case.

My husband and I recently went on a 4-hour trip across the state. With Bladderol™, we didn’t have to stop at one Porto-John!”

The American Urological Association estimates - four out of ten adult women in the United States live with bladder troubles. “Most of these women across the country are struggling. The culprit is changing hormones. Caused by childbirth and menopause. Not to mention surgery, infections, and aging.”

Said Chief Researcher, Rob McCollum.

It’s no wonder why so many users of Bladderol™ are �inding it a real savior.

Popular New Pill: Women over 50 are now controlling their bladders without pads, special pelvic exercises, cutting back on fluids, surgery or risky prescription drugs. Top doctors are now recommending it to patients.

91% Success Rate In 3-Month Study The research was done in hospitals and OBGYN clinics.

The results at �irst seemed to good to be true. Yet, its published in a well respected medical journal. The Journal of Medicine and Pharmaceutical Science.

The open clinical trial involved 39 women between 52 and 86 years of age. All suffering from weak bladder control. The trial lasted a total of 7 weeks and the end results were quite astonishing...

Users of the active ingredient in Bladderol™ saw major changes. Relief from leakages, pressure and urgency to “go” – all without side effects! Women in the study reported fewer trips to the bathroom during the day and night. In particular they showed: • 79% reduction in urine leakages • 41% decline in bathroom trips • Less pressure and urgency • More satis�ied with their sleep While 91% of users said their symptoms “signi�icantly improved”. And would continue to take the powerful pill at the end of the clinical trial.

Targets Bladder Control Muscles Scientists made the discovery mashing together two nutrients.

Using a cutting edge extraction process to get to them. Phytonutrients found in Curcurbita Pepo seeds and Glycine Max. The fusing of the two created a new bladder control compound.

It’s so powerful, it was awarded a U.S. patent for urinary health.

The active ingredient does two jobs at one time. Strengthens the bladder wall muscles.

While relaxing the urine contraction muscles. This gives women the ability to hold off longer without feeling pressure.

The sales speak for themselves. “We’ve had the phones going off the hook for weeks now. The reaction from the public has been overwhelming”, says Joe Fryer, Head of Call Center Operations.

“But we’re just glad to see

customers �ind a natural bladder solution that’s actually working for them.” Fryer added.

U.S. Doctors Are Pleasantly Surprised “9 out of 10 women saw major progress with their bladder symptoms in 90 days of taking Bladderol™. Those numbers are quite remarkable.” Said Dr. William Shelton, a medical doctor from Seattle.

Clinical trials show Bladderol™ helps reduce many types of leakages. Including sneezing, coughing, and physical activity. It also protects you from not being able to hold off long enough to reach the bathroom. It’s ground-breaking. I’ve never seen anything like it.” Said Dr. Jacob Moss, a Urologist from Illinois.

“I’m impressed with how Bladderol™ can cut down the frequency of urination. Plus, hurried sprints to the bathroom. Not to mention, its safe, natural and drug-free. This makes it a great option for women with a weak bladder.”

Said Dr. Eric Wood, a naturopathic doctor from Florida with multiple TV appearances.

HUNTLEY – The amount students learn isn’t necessarily related to how many hours they sit in a classroom, said Erika Schlichter, Huntley School District 158 chief academic officer.

Starting during the 2018-19 school year, Huntley High School will implement a program where students are evaluated and advanced based on their mastery of specific skills rather than on seat time.

District 158 is among 10 school districts in the state chosen to participate in Illinois’ Competency-Based High School Graduation Requirements Pilot Program, according to a news release from the district.

“We’re trying to knock down the walls of traditional education and be leaders in educational reform,” Principal Scott Rowe said.

The school’s blended learning program, which allows a student to learn in part at a brick-and-mortar facility, as well as through online delivery, started at the school in 2011 to give students options on how they can learn, Rowe said.

The new program is a step up from that, he said.

Although details on how the program will be implemented still are being determined, the initial plan would be for about 100 to 150 juniors and seniors to participate, Rowe said.

The goal of the program is to let students work at a personalized pace, Rowe said. Teachers will aim to guide students’ progress and offer seminar-like instruction, and students can demonstrate mastery of learning standards across subject areas rather than completing courses.

For example, Rowe said, a student could receive credit in multiple areas if he or she completes a project that requires math, history and English skills. Or if a student has an internship, he or she could receive school credit for it, he said.

“An accelerated student can move faster Scott Rowe than the pace of a traditional class,” Rowe said, adding that someone who struggles in one topic can focus on that subject longer.

A committee of teachers and administrators is working on determining the logistics of the program, including how to determine whether a student shows proficiency in a certain standard, Rowe said.

The state allows schools flexibility in how they choose to run their program, Rowe said, and there are no set plans on what will happen after the pilot program ends.

“I don’t envision it happening for a year and then disappearing,” Rowe said.

No state funding is given to the school through the pilot program, Schlichter said, so any costs would have to be added to the district’s normal budgeting process next year.

A CLOSER LOOK | Northwest Herald / NWHerald.com

Most people who die in motorcycle crashes throughout the state of Illinois are not wearing helmets. Of those who died in a 2014 motorcycle crash, 28.8 percent wore helmets, according to the Illinois Department of Transportation.

In 2016, there were 24 reported motor vehicle deaths in McHenry County, four of which were motorcycle deaths. That number has increased from 2010, when there were 14 motor vehicle deaths and two were motorcycle-related.

Nationally, the number of people who have died in motorcycle crashes has increased 8.3 percent, from 4,594 in 2014 to 4,976 in 2015.

Illinois law does not require motorcyclists to wear helmets, but Paul Stevens of Woodstock Harley-Davidson said the dealership requires students in its classes to wear helmets.

“As many people that ride should have helmets on,” Stevens said.

Stevens said he personally wears a helmet whenever he rides, but he also understands that it is a personal choice for riders in a state where there is no helmet law.

Emma Morano sits in her home on her 117th birthday Nov. 29 in Verbania, Italy. An Italian doctor said Morano, the world’s oldest person, died Saturday at her home in northern Italy.

By FRANCES D’EMILIO The Associated Press

ROME – Emma Morano, at 117 the world’s oldest person who also is believed to have been the last surviving person born in the 1800s, died Saturday at her home in northern Italy, her physician said.

Dr. Carlo Bava told The Associated Press by phone that Morano’s caretaker had called him to say she had stopped breathing in the afternoon while sitting in an armchair at her home in Verbania, a town on Italy’s Lake Maggiore.

Bava said he had last seen his patient on Friday when “she thanked me and held my hand,” as she did every time he called on her. While Morano had been increasingly spending more time sleeping and less time speaking in recent weeks, she had still eaten her daily raw egg and biscuits that day, he said.

A woman in Jamaica, Violet Brown, who was born in that Caribbean island on March 10, 1900, is now considered the oldest known person in the world, according to a list kept by the Gerontology Research Group.

Jamaican Prime Minister Andrew Holness tweeted his congratulations to her.

Morano’s doctor, who lives a few blocks away from his patient, had been her physician for nearly a quarter of a century.

Morano, born on Nov. 29, 1899, had been living in a tidy, one-room apartment, where she was kept company

by her caregiver and two elderly nieces.

“She didn’t suffer. I’m happy she didn’t suffer but passed away that way, tranquilly,” Bava said Saturday.

He said she had been her usual chatterbox self until a few weeks ago. Since then it was clear, “she was slowly fading away,” and spending nearly all day in bed, Bava said.

Last fall on her birthday, Morano declared: “I’m happy I have turned 117!”

Bava has previously told the AP that Morano lost a son to crib death when he was six months old.

Morano left her husband in 1938 because he would beat her. She “abandoned the husband in the Fascist era, when women were supposed to be very submissive,” Bava said in a 2015 interview. “She was always very decisive.”

Morano began working in a factory making jute bags when she was 16. Then she worked at a hotel, working way beyond the usual retirement age.

Beside work, she enjoyed herself.

She was considered a good dancer with a beautiful singing voice in her youth.

She also defied health advice, Bava said Saturday. Some doctors had warned her against eating three eggs daily, which she did for years, but she ignored their advice.

Researchers from Harvard Medical School visited her in 2014 as part of a study into immunity to diseases, the Italian news agency ANSA said.

Oldest person in the world dies at age 117

Diane Puma, 71, a longtime resident of Crystal Lake, passed away peacefully on Thursday, April 13, 2017, at JourneyCare Hospice in Barrington, two-and-a-half years after being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.

She was born July 24, 1945, in Hammond, Ind., to Walter and Eleanor (nee Bartnik) Kasper. Diane grew up in Hegwisch and East Side in Chicago and attended St. Francis de Sales grade school and St. Willibrord High School. She attended Northern Illinois University and left just before graduating to teach in the Chicago Catholic schools.

On October 16, 1966, she married Robert Puma and they enjoyed over 51 years of marriage. She left teaching to raise her three boys. She returned to work when her sons were older, serving as the principal’s secretary at Crystal Lake South High School for 25 years, a job she truly loved.

Diane spent thousands of hours watching her sons’ sporting events and made lifelong friends while sitting in the bleachers. She was a huge Notre Dame football fan and, with Bob, attended almost every home game for over 20 years. Diane cherished the times she watched her grandchildren’s performances and sporting events.

She loved spending time with her family, cousins and friends, especially when it meant having a home-cooked meal or going out to eat. Upon retiring, she spent the winters in The Villages, Fla., where she avoided the cold weather and hosted family and friends.

You always knew when Diane was around because you would be sure to hear her infectious laugh which filled the room.

HISTORY

Museum exhibit explores local resort heyday LOCAL HISTORY Kurt Begalka The Fox Chain O’ Lakes had become a celebrated resort area as early as the 1870s. At least two steamboats carried tourists and sportsmen from McHenry to the lakes. Fishing parties came from as far away as DeKalb County, and Chicagoans hopped the Chicago and North Western Railroad for weekend getaways with the family during the summer.

A majority of those frequenting the banks of Pistakee Lake and Chain during the turn of the century were well-heeled or well-connected Chicagoans.

Many were friends with Chicago’s infamous mayor, Big Bill Thompson.

They included Pistakee Yacht Club founder Henry Lamartine Hertz, U.S. Sen. William Lorimer (who owned a house near Crystal Lake), Atlas Plumbing Co. owner Albert Severinhaus, Enterprise Chemical Co. owner George Sayer, Ernest Busch (Anheuser Busch brewing family) and millionaire James Pugh, president of Pugh Terminal Warehouse Co. on North Pier and the Michigan Avenue Warehouse Co. Consequently, it is not surprising that most of the original, tiny cottages were demolished to make way for more spacious dwellings. Charles W. Peters, a former Cook County sheriff and longtime Pistakee summer resident, hired famed landscape architect Jens Jensen (who also worked at Camp Algonquin) to design three-terraced gardens for his 1897 home on the west shore of the bay.

The Chain and Pistakee lakes were go-to destinations chock-full of steam-powered launches, dance pavilions, resorts and tourists clamoring to visit the famed lotus beds and dine at many of the 37 hotels that had sprung up along its banks by 1910.

The litany of getaways included the likes of Fowler’s Resort, Florence Pedersen’s Norsemen’s Resort, the Bay-View, Park Manor Resort, Mike and Jay’s Englewood Hotel and the Bald Knob Hotel, first opened by Steven J. Mellin.

The McHenry County Historical Society seeks to capture the essence of that time in its new, two-year exhibit, Waterways and Getaways: Resort Life in McHenry County. Visitors can view historic photos, experience a re-created hotel lobby, learn about early boat

They originally were fitted using the couple’s own furniture taken from the home they lost in Chicago after the stock market crash. The Depression prompted many to leave the city in favor of cheaper summer homes, which they converted to year-round residences – frequently heated by old oil stoves with water supplied by an outdoors pump.

The Harrison resort operated from 1933 to 2003, passed down through the generations to Tim’s father, Tom, and then to him.

STATE Proposed cuts show difficulty in reducing spending

By JOHN O’CONNOR The Associated Press

SPRINGFIELD – In a two-year stalemate over how to drag Illinois out of a $5 billion deficit and get on top of $13 billion in past-due bills, Gov. Bruce Rauner has been under pressure to show where he would cut the spending he says is necessary.

But lost in the political cat-andmouse between the Republican governor and the Democrats who control the Legislature are real spending reductions that Rauner proposed in his annual budget plan two months ago.

According to an analysis by The Associated Press, there at least 40 areas the first-term executive proposes eliminating or significantly reducing.

“We need to look to programs that serve the most vulnerable and to programs that serve the entire state instead of a specific geographic region, a specific population or a specific vendor,” said Scott Harry, Rauner’s budget director. “They’re important programs. But tough choices have to be made.”

Although the cuts are enough to shut down a single program or service, however, their overall effect on state spending would be minimal. All

MASS TRANSIT SUBSIDIES, $17.5 million

Federal and state laws require free or reduced rides for seniors and the disabled on commuter trains and buses in the metro Chicago area, at a cost to the Regional Transportation Authority of about $100 million. The state had previously provided a $34 million annual subsidy before it was halved when Rauner took office. The required discounts don’t go away even if the subsidy does, RTA Executive Director Leanne Redden said.

“These cuts to state funding would merely shift these costs to local taxpayers and fare-paying transit riders,” Redden said.

FUNERAL AND BURIAL EXPENSES, $8.8 million

The state pays for funerals and burials of those who die alone or with no money. Symonds Funeral Homes, with four Chicago-area locations, has received $43,000 this year for this service.

Partner Irving Symonds said he and other funeral directors also do other burials for free, but many become the county coroner’s responsibility.

“The taxpayers of that county have to pay the bill,” Symonds said. “What do we do with these poor souls?”

Cook County-financed cremations of unclaimed remains have more than tripled since 2014, from 166 to 541 in 2016.

The service is offered statewide. Records show that funeral homes in Pekin, Springfield and Mount Vernon are among the top participants.

TEEN REACH, $13.1 million

The after-school program has survived other attempts at cuts. In Springfield, Tiffany Mathis, who coordinates Teen REACH for the Boys & Girls Clubs, said funding allows the club to stay open into night hours.

That’s when Lonnie Bland and Darian Bills, both high school seniors, use it. They learned lessons at the club, such as how to settle an argument on the basketball court with freethrows.

The club’s supportive atmosphere has helped when Bland encounters illicit drugs on the street. “I walk the other way,” he said.

News from across the state

CHICAGO – City officials said 76 buildings representing more than 50 million square feet of space now are a part of Chicago’s energy efficiency program.

Mayor Rahm Emanuel announced last week that 14 new buildings have joined the Retrofit Chicago Energy Challenge for a total of 76. Officials said it’s among the largest voluntary programs of its kind nationwide.

Emanuel said the increased participation sends a “clear signal” that Chicago is a leader in sustainability.

The program is a partnership between the city and environmental groups, including the Natural Resources Defense Council.

of time and later was charged with first degree murder.

Ron Duebbert, who won election in November, was placed on administrative duties after a January complaint filed against him with the Judicial Inquiry Board that accuses him of violating rules of judicial conduct during the murder investigation involving a parolee, David E. Fields.

The Belleville News-Democrat reported that Duebbert, a St. Clair County circuit judge, regularly visited Fields in jail. The newspaper cited visitor logs obtained through a lawsuit after being denied an information request.

The News-Democrat reported that as a sitting judge, Duebbert is restricted from talking about the Fields criminal case or investigation by the Judicial Inquiry Board.

In previous statements, Duebbert said that he was “being Christian” and trying to help Fields get his life together.

CHICAGO – United Airlines is changing a company policy and will no longer allow crew members to displace customers already onboard an airplane.

The change comes after a passenger, Dr. David Dao, was dragged from a fully booked United Express flight in Chicago because he refused to give up his seat to make room for crew members. Cellphone video of the incident sparked widespread outrage and created a public relations nightmare for United.

Under the change outlined in an internal email Friday, a crew member must make must-ride bookings at least 60 minutes before departure. Crews previously could be booked until the time of departure.

United spokeswoman Maggie Schmerin said in an email Sunday that the change is an initial step in a review of policies and

SIUE FIRE SERVICES, $156,000

The Edwardsville Fire Department has protected the Southern Illinois University campus since it opened in the 1960s. Other university towns get a fire-protection subsidy, Fire Chief Rick Welle said. Edwardsville-area legislators finally secured $311,000 in 2015 – about half the operating cost of the department’s new on-campus station.

That was cut in half last year.

“If we have to fund that ourselves, it’s got to give somewhere else, whether it’s in parks and recreation, or public works, or police,” Welle said.

SUPPORTIVE HOUSING SERVICES, down $9.4 million to $4 million

MERCY Communities in Springfield puts homeless women with children – many of them domestic-violence survivors – into housing with follow-up support. With Illinois budget uncertainty the past two years, staff members bring their own office supplies to work, Executive Director Joan Queen said.

“I do realize that we have to have a balanced budget,” Queen said. “But in the long run, we’ll always have homeless people.”

Cook County Judge Stanley Sacks ordered 46-year-old Gilbert Feliciano to serve the prison sentence for home invasion, robbery and the murder of Stanley Letkiewicz, the Chicago Tribune reported.

Letkiewicz had noticed Feliciano begging for money outside of a store and decided to allow him to stay at his home. He paid Feliciano to clean or fix things in the basement and the attic. Letkiewicz’s relatives said the living arrangement became strained after Feliciano’s behavior became erratic and violent at times.

Authorities said Feliciano approached Letkiewicz on Sept. 3 while he was taking out the trash. Prosecutors said Feliciano asked him for $40. When Letkiewicz didn’t give him the money, Feliciano forced Letkiewicz into the home, beat him up and stole $100 from him.

Letkiewicz identified Feliciano as his attacker, but police hadn’t arrested him before Oct. 13, when a neighbor found Letkiewicz badly beaten in his home, said Jamie Santini, assistant state’s attorney.

He was taken to the hospital, where he told authorities who his attacker was before he died Nov. 23.

Police seek man who livestreamed homicide

CLEVELAND – An Ohio man claimed to be angry at a woman when he shot and killed an elderly passer-by Sunday afternoon while streaming the murder on Facebook.

Police urged the suspect to turn himself in, but he remained on the loose into the night. Law enforcement officials identified the suspect as Steve Stephens, and Cleveland Police Chief Calvin Williams said officers were searching for him in the Cleveland area and beyond.

The victim was identified as 74-year-old Robert Goodwin Sr. In the video, which appears shaky, Stephens gets out of his car and appears to randomly target Goodwin, who was holding a shopping bag. Stephens said the name of a woman, whom Goodwin did not seem to recognize.

“She’s the reason that this is about to happen to you,” Stephens told Goodwin before pointing a gun at him.

Turkey votes to expand president’s powers

ISTANBUL – Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan won a historic referendum Sunday that will greatly expand the powers of his office, although opposition parties questioned the outcome and said they would challenge the results.

With nearly all ballots counted, the “yes” vote stood at 51.41 percent, while the “no” vote was 48.59 percent, according to the state-run Anadolu Agency. The head of Turkey’s electoral board confirmed the “yes” victory and said final results would be declared in 11 to 12 days.

Although the margin fell short of the sweeping victory Erdogan had sought in the landmark referendum, it could nevertheless cement his hold on power in Turkey and is expected to have a huge effect on the country’s long-term political future and its international relations. The 18 constitutional amendments that will come into effect after the next election, scheduled for 2019, will abolish the office of the prime minister and hand sweeping executive powers to the president.

Pence: Strategic patience with North Korea is over

By KEN THOMAS

The Associated Press PANMUNJOM, South Korea – U.S. Vice President Mike Pence declared Monday the “era of strategic patience is over” with North Korea, expressing impatience with the unwillingness of the regime to move toward ridding itself of nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles.

Pence told reporters near the Demilitarized Zone separating North and South Korea that President Donald Trump is hopeful that China will use its “extraordinary levers” to pressure the North to abandon its weapons.

Pence, who has called the North’s failed missile test a day earlier “a provocation,” said the U.S. and its allies will achieve its objectives through “peaceable means or ultimately by whatever means are necessary” to protect South Korea and stabilize the region.

Pence visited a military base near the DMZ, Camp Bonifas, for a briefing with military leaders and to meet with American troops stationed there. The joint U.S.-South Korean military camp is just outside the 2.5mile DMZ. He later stood a few meters from the military demarcation line outside Freedom House, gazing at two North Korean soldiers across the border and then a deforested stretch of North Korea from a lookout post in the hillside.

His visit, full of Cold War symbolism, and his remarks to reporters come amid increasing tensions and heated rhetoric on the Korean Peninsula. While the North did not conduct a nuclear test, the specter of a potential escalated U.S. response trailed Pence as he began a 10-day trip to Asia.

Pointing to the quarter-century since North Korea first obtained nuclear weapons, the vice president said a period of patience followed.

“But the era of strategic patience is over,” Pence said. “President Trump has made it clear that the patience of the United States and our allies in this region has run out and we want to see change. We want to see North Korea abandon its reckless path of the development of nuclear weapons, and also its continual use and testing of ballistic missiles is unacceptable.”

Trump himself asserted on Sunday that China was working with the United States on “the North Korea problem.” His national security adviser, H.R. McMaster, said the U.S. would rely on its allies as well as on Chinese leadership to resolve the issues with North Korea.

McMaster cited Trump’s recent decision to order missile strikes in Syria after a chemical attack blamed on the Assad government as a sign that the president “is clearly comfortable making tough decisions.” But at the same time, McMaster said on “This Week” on ABC, “it’s time for us to undertake all actions we can, short of a military option, to try to resolve this peacefully.”

The bottom line, McMaster said, is to stop the North’s weapons development and make the Korean Peninsula nuclear-free.

“It’s clear that the president is determined not to allow this kind of capability to threaten the United States. And our president will take action that is in the best interest of the American people,” he said.

After a two-month policy review, officials settled on a policy dubbed “maximum pressure and engagement,” U.S. officials said Friday. The administration’s immediate emphasis, the officials said, will be on increasing pressure on Pyongyang with the help of Beijing.

The officials weren’t authorized to speak publicly on the results of the policy review and requested anonymity.

Lawmakers across U.S. move to include young people in voting

By SOPHIA BOLLAG The Associated Press

SACRAMENTO, Calif. – Donald Trump’s characterization of Mexican immigrants as criminals and rapists during his presidential campaign angered Heidi Sainz, whose family is from Mexico and who has close friends who are immigrants. She was also upset that she couldn’t do anything about it at the ballot box because she was a year shy of being able to vote.

Sainz favors a bill in the California Legislature that would lower the voting age to 17, which she thinks would give a voice to more people affected by the outcome of elections.

“Looking at all the protests throughout this year throughout all the high schools across the nation, we could see a lot of the minors were protesting because they felt as if they didn’t have a voice,” said Sainz, a senior at Inderkum High School in Sacramento.

Lawmakers in more than a dozen states are trying to increase voter participation by targeting young people.

Their bills are among nearly 500 pieces of legislation introduced around the country this year to make voting easier, according to a March analysis by New York University’s Brennan Center for Justice.

AP file photo

Assemblyman Evan Low, D-Campbell, addresses lawmakers Jan. 13 at the Capitol in Sacramento, Calif. In an effort to increase voter participation by targeting teenagers, Low has authored a measure to lower the state’s voting age to 17.

Although Republican-leaning states have moved to tighten voting rules – nearly 90 such bills have been introduced – those efforts have been outstripped by the number of bills seeking

to expand access to the polls.

“A lot of young people last year wanted to make their voices heard, but were unable to do so because the rules prohibited them,” said Jonathan Brater,

counsel with the nonpartisan Brennan Center Democracy Program.

“That has certainly renewed interest in making the system more accessible,” Brater said.

Democrats and Republicans have supported efforts to expand access, particularly online registration. But it’s mostly Republicans who are pushing restrictions such as requiring photo identification at the polls.

Roughly 20 states are considering voter ID laws this year that supporters say prevent fraud and boost public confidence in elections. Critics have said such laws target minorities and the poor, who might not have driver’s licenses and find it difficult to obtain them.

Recent voting expansion efforts include automatic registration and extending absentee voting opportunities.

Republicans control the governorship and legislature in 25 states and so far have been relatively successful in pushing through the more restrictive laws. Democrats control just a half-dozen states.

In California, where Democrats command a supermajority in the Legislature and control the governor’s mansion, lawmakers say they want to take the lead in expanding voting access as other states move to restrict it.

their mission training in Florida on short-runway takeoffs.

“Everybody thought that the takeoff would be the most challenging thing, but as a matter of fact, it turned out to be easiest thing,” Cole said.

The crews of the 16 planes were “very quiet” as they neared Japan, he recalled, saying his role next to Doolittle was to “be seen, not heard. ... You didn’t speak until spoken to.” But the country song “Wabash Cannonball” started running through his head and he unconsciously began tapping his toe, which caught Doolittle’s attention.

“He gave me a look which didn’t need any conversation,” Cole said with a laugh.

Doolittle soon ordered bomb bay doors opened, and the attack was on against what turned out to be limited anti-aircraft fire.

“The enemy was doing something else and surprised that we were there, and then I just thought, ‘So far, so good,’ ” Cole said.

They then headed to China, running out of fuel. Cole said Doolittle gave the command to prepare to bail out as they neared the coast, adding: “I wish you all good luck.”

Cole said it was scary to parachute into a dark “unknown” in rough weather. His parachute caught in a tree, leav-

ing him dangling but safe.

Three Raiders died trying to reach China, and eight were captured by Japanese soldiers. Three were executed, and a fourth died in captivity.

Their attack inflicted scattered damage, but more important, stunned Japan’s people. Its military diverted resources to guard their homeland, while news of the raid lifted U.S. morale after the Dec. 7, 1941, surprise attack on Pearl Harbor and a string of Japanese victories in the Pacific.

“Seven decades later, we are still awed by the sheer audacity of the Doolittle raid and the incredible men whose grit and bravery made it possible,” Democratic House leader Nancy Pelosi of California said when the Congressional Gold Medal was awarded to the Raiders in a 2015 ceremony. “Though time has thinned their ranks, it will never dim the daring of their deeds.”

Cole, a Dayton-area native, has been to the Ohio museum for reunions and other special events. He and Thatcher were there in 2015 for events highlighting the Gold Medal.

Cole also led a special public “final toast” ceremony at the museum in 2013, when four Raiders were still alive, saying of the departed: “May they rest in peace.” Cole attended Thatcher’s funeral last June in Missoula.

CINCINNATI – At age 101, retired Lt. Col. Dick Cole said his memories are vivid of the Doolittle Tokyo Raiders mission that helped change the course of World War II. Now the sole survivor of the original 80-member group, Cole recalls the excitement of learning the bombing target they had been secretly training for was Japan Lt. Col. Dick Cole itself.

He remembers the eerie quiet as they neared their target, not knowing whether anti-aircraft firepower was ready for them; the precise series of orders, from open bomb bay doors to prepare to bail out, from mission leader Jimmy Doolittle as Cole flew alongside him as his co-pilot; parachuting into darkness, then being helped by Chinese villagers to stay step one ahead of vengeful Japanese troops.

Three of his comrades were executed.

Cole plans to take part in events Monday and Tuesday at the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force near Dayton, Ohio, marking the 75th anniversary of the attack that rallied America and

jarred Japan.

It will be “a somber affair,” Cole said in a recent telephone interview with The Associated Press, when he fulfills the long Raider tradition of toasting those who have died in the past year, using goblets engraved with their names.

In a private ceremony, he will offer tribute to retired Staff Sgt. David Thatcher, who died last year at age 94 in Missoula, Montana.

Sometimes chuckling, sometimes reflective, Cole sounded clear and military officer-courteous during an AP telephone interview, with his daughter Cindy sometimes repeating the questions if he didn’t fully hear them in his home in Comfort, Texas.

Cole is sorry he won’t have any of his mission comrades with him to share stories and joke with as they did in annual reunions that began after World War II. He didn’t expect to be the last one standing, since he was older than many others on the mission.

“I never thought in that vein,” Cole said. “We all know that somewhere along the line, you have to drop out.”

The Raiders launched their assault April 18, 1942, in B-25 bombers not built to fly off an aircraft carrier at sea.

Suspecting they had been detected by Japanese patrols, they left sooner than planned from the USS Hornet, using

ANOTHER VIEW

Soccer diplomacy for the World Cup It was a sky’s-the-limit moment the other day when the leaders of North America’s three major soccer federations – from the United States, Mexico and Canada – announced from the observatory floor of the continent’s tallest building that they would bid jointly to host the 2026 World Cup. The news conference on the 102nd floor of One World Trade Center in Manhattan immediately made what The Post’s Steven Goff dubbed “the NAFTA World Cup” the odds-on favorite to win rights to stage a month-long mega-event that could generate $1 billion in revenue and attract millions of fans across 20 or more cities, most of them in the United States.

More than that, as an act of neighborliness and cooperation, it was a resounding counterpoint to Washington’s ragged regional relations, particularly with Mexico, and the Trump administration’s enthusiasm for building a border wall. Conceivably, the United States might have been the strongest contender for the Cup even if it had made a solo bid, but doing so would have required it to surmount, on its own, the negative effects of rising nativism and the White House’s dismissive and hostile remarks directed at friends and foes alike.

By standing with its neighbors, the U.S. soccer federation sent a message that the United States’ borders would be open to fans, officials and players from participating FIFA member countries - including Mexico and Iran, among others. That was reinforced by the U.S. federation chief, Sunil Gulati, who made a point of saying that Trump had encouraged the three-way bid and was “especially pleased” about the partnership with Mexico.

Mexico would host just 10 of the cup’s 80 matches, as would Canada; the other 60 would be held in a dozen or more U.S. cities. Still, many Mexican commentators, mindful of their slim chances at beating the United States in a head-to-head competition, were pleased.

Instead of mounting a problematic bid from a behemoth not currently winning any international popularity contests, the U.S. soccer federation, with its bid, now stands at the head of a juggernaut representing a combined North American population of 500 million, arm-in-arm with Mexico, host of two previous World Cups, in 1970 and 1986. (The only one hosted by the United States, in 1994, set records that still stand for average and overall attendance.)

It will likely be three years before FIFA’s 200-odd members vote on the bids. Conceivably, an African confederation could mount a strong challenge to host the event. But for now, the United States’ soccer officials have grasped what has lately eluded its political ones - what Gulati called the “hugely positive signal and symbol of what we can do together in unifying people.”

Nobody knows

To the Editor: The truth is, nobody knows if bombing Syria on Thursday night was the right or wrong thing to do. But in our hyper-kinetic, turbocharged social media world of microwaved insta-analysis, everyone is an expert.

But nobody really knows if this was a righteous quick hit or yet another suffocating quagmire we sucked ourselves into.

We don’t know whether the bombing, 100 years to the day after the U.S. entered WWI – “The War to End All Wars” – will lead to all-out WWIII. Not the war to end all

wars, but the war to end all human existence.

I say “all-out WWIII,” because, quite frankly, WWIII has been incrementally growing on us like the human flesh-eating disease it is for quite some time now. From Iraq to Afghanistan to Syria to Georgia and the Ukraine to the Arab Spring, into Turkey, onto the shores of the Greek islands, across Europe – the unrest, violence and human blood shed over the past 30 years or so rivals and perhaps surpasses in a broader geopolitical brush anything that happened in the immediate lead-ups to WWI and WWII. Facebook, Twitter, newspapers, magazines, cable news, comedy news, fake news, alternative news – none of these are the authorities here. Only history is. I just hope history proves it was the right thing to do. I probably won’t be around when it does. I hope history is there to record its judgment. And I hope civilization is still there, as well.

Because nobody knows.

By JOHN POMFRET

Special to the Washington Post Something interesting is happening in China and perhaps President Donald Trump deserves some credit.

For the first time, the Chinese government appears to have laid down a bottom-line with North Korea and is threatening Pyongyang with a response of “unprecedented ferocity” if the government of Kim Jong Un goes ahead with a test of either an intercontinental ballistic missile or a nuclear device. North Korea will celebrate the 105th anniversary of the birth of its founder, Kim Il Sung, on Saturday, and some type of military show of force is expected.

In an editorial in the semi-official Global Times on April 12, Pyongyang was put on notice that it must reign in its nuclear ambitions, or else China’s oil shipments to North Korea could be “severely limited.” It is extraordinary for China to make this kind of threat.

For more than a decade, as part of its strategy to prop up one of its only allies, China refused to allow the U.N. Security Council to even consider cutting oil shipments to the north. Beijing’s calculus was that the maintenance of the North Korean regime took precedence over everything. Now Beijing seems to be reconsidering its position.

Perhaps even more significantly, on April 5, the Global Times, which is owned by the People’s Daily, the official mouthpiece of the Chinese Communist Party, laid out what it called China’s “bottom line” on the increasingly tense situation on the Korean Peninsula.

First, the editorial said “the safety and stability” of China’s northeast must be assured.

To that end, the editorial continued, no North Korean nuclear fallout can be allowed to “contaminate” the region.

Second, North Korea cannot be allowed to “descend into the kind of turbulence that generates a huge outpouring of refugees,” the editorial said, adding that China will also not allow “a hostile government” in Pyongyang.

It concluded by vowing that Beijing would not tolerate a U.S. military push towards the Yalu River.

China has never before listed in such clear, albeit semi-official, terms what it wants for the Korean Peninsula. It’s never before hinted that it would oppose the formation of a government hostile to Beijing’s interests next door. So how is this related to Trump?

In his first meeting with President Barack Obama before taking office, Trump noted that the outgoing president advised him to focus on North Korea. The reason is that in the five years since he’s been at the helm, North Korea’s leader Kim Jong Un has accelerated his father’s nuclear and missile program and appears to be rushing to fix a nuclear warhead onto an intercontinental ballistic missile. He’s apparently calculating that once he’s done this, he’ll have ensured the security

of his regime.

Once in office, Trump issued a series of tweets demanding that China do more to rein in North Korea. Trump administration sources have also leaked information vowing to punish a panoply of Chinese companies that have facilitated the north’s busting of U.N. sanctions. (The Obama administration only sanctioned one of these firms.) Meanwhile, the U.S. military sped up its plans to deploy the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense anti-missile system in South Korea, despite China’s intense opposition.

But that wasn’t all. When Secretary of State Rex Tillerson traveled to Asia in March he warned that the United States would consider a preemptive strike on the north if its nuclear program continued unabated.

“The policy of strategic patience,” Tillerson announced, “has ended.” Finally, the North Korean bomb was front and center at the summit between Trump and China’s president, Xi Jinping, on April 6 and 7 at Trump’s estate in Mar-a-Lago. While eating “the most beautiful piece of chocolate cake,” with Xi on the evening of April 6, Trump told the Chinese president that he had ordered U.S. forces to fire missiles at a Syrian airbase, following the poison gas attack on Syrian civilians apparently by forces loyal to Syrian president Bashar Assad.

These events, culminating with Trump’s strike on Syria, appear to have concentrated Chinese minds. The strategy of backing North Korea no matter what is bumping up against the risk of an unpredictable man in the White House.

Following the summit, on April 11, China’s president Xi Jinping called Trump and declared that China wanted to see the crisis on the Korean peninsula solved peacefully. Chinese news reports portrayed Xi as attempting to manage two unpredictable actors - Donald Trump and Kim Jong Un. A day later, the Global Times noted that the attack on Syria made it impossible to dismiss the possibility of a U.S. strike on North Korea. “Trump’s team apparently is determined to solve the North Korean nuclear problem,” the Global Times observed. To show that he’s willing to negotiate, Trump stated that if China plays ball in North Korea, the United States will take into account China’s interests when it comes to U.S.-China trade.

To be sure, other factors are combining to prompt a re-think in Beijing. Indeed, both Global Times editorials spoke about the pressures that “Chinese society” is exerting on Beijing’s policy. It’s no exaggeration to say that the Chinese are fed up with Kim Jong Un. On the web, they refer to him as “Kim Fatman the Third.” When they travel to North Korea on weekend trips, they smirk about how it reminds them of the days when China was poor and backward. A recent post on the WeChat social media site compared North Korea to a “rabid dog,” implying that someone (perhaps even China) should put it down.

Hand-foot-and-mouth disease exposure common in schools Dear Doctor: My daughter’s school recently sent home a flyer about potential exposure to hand-foot-and-mouth disease.

How worried should I be?

Dear Reader: Hand-foot-and-mouth disease (HFMD) is common. It occurs most often in infants and children younger than 7 years of age and is caused by one of 16 types of enterovirus. Outbreaks are more likely in the late summer and early fall, when children are starting a new year of school or preschool.

Because the viruses that lead to HFMD are largely intestinal, they’re usually passed via stool. Small amounts of the virus then make it onto the hands of the child or someone changing the child’s diaper. The virus passes from one individual to another when it ends up on food, the fingers or the pacifier of another child, ending up in the mouth. The fecal-oral transmission is the most common way the virus infects others, but it can also be passed through oral secretions, through coughing, and through the fluid from the blisters seen in hand-foot-and-mouth disease.

Regardless, the virus makes its way down to the lower intestine, spreading to the lymph nodes and from there to the rest of the body. The typical time it takes for the enterovirus to be ingested and for the first symptoms to appear is three to five days.

Symptoms of the disease begin with mouth or throat pain or the refusal to eat.

The most striking symptom of hand-footand-mouth disease is the blisterlike rash that occurs both within the mouth and on the hands and feet; such blisters also can appear on the legs, arms and buttocks.

The lesions are normally not painful and resolve in three or four days. Some species of enterovirus also cause fever, nausea and vomiting. Rarely, enteroviruses can lead

SUDOKU

ASK THE DOCTORS Robert Ashley to dehydration, viral meningitis or heart inflammation.

I can understand the worry your school – and you – have regarding this infection.

As I noted, the incubation period is typically three to five days, but one study of an outbreak at a day care showed children were infectious up to seven days. And, not to make you overly worried, but some enteroviruses can be passed in the stool up to 10 weeks after infection.

I would ask school officials at which date the infected child began having symptoms of HFMD. If it was more than five days ago, I would be less concerned about your child now developing the disease.

However, because the virus can be shed long after disease, I would stress the importance of hand-washing. If your daughter does get hand-foot-and-mouth disease, the symptoms likely will not last long, and any discomfort can be treated with acetaminophen or ibuprofen. Watch for warning signs of potential complications, such as listlessness, severe headache or neck stiffness.

Consult your pediatrician if your child has these symptoms.

Also, if your daughter does become infected, make sure to practice good hygiene at home, so the virus does not pass to you or other family members.

Dear Abby:

DEAR ABBY I’ve always been a self-sufficient Jeanne woman. I grew Phillips up in an abusive household, moved out at 16, and cut off contact with my family a couple of years later when it became apparent nothing would change.

Nine months ago, my husband walked out on me and our 3-year-old son. He has no interest in our child. Our roommate, “Matt,” became “Daddy” to my son with my ex’s blessing.

I want a divorce, but I’m not sure how to proceed. My ex and I have talked; he wants to give up his parental rights, and I have no interest in getting child support from him. All I want is my son.

I can’t afford a lawyer right now because of some financial obligations my ex left me saddled with, but I don’t want to put this off. If anything were to happen to me, my son would go to my ex instead of the man he considers his dad.

All my friends are either happily married or single, and I have no family to turn to for advice. I’m not religious, so I have no clergyperson to consult. Is there someplace I can turn to for help in ending this marriage, or do I just need to save up until I can afford legal counsel? – Single mom In Oregon Dear Single Mom: Your next step should be to contact your state bar association and find out if there are low-cost legal services in your area. If both parties are in agreement, a divorce can be amicable and not expensive. I wish you luck; do not procrastinate.

Dear Abby: Some nights I talk in my sleep.

It doesn’t happen every night, and there is no rhyme or reason for it. Recently my husband told me I said something during my sleep that made him angry. He didn’t want to get into a fight, so we haven’t discussed it more. I suspect I may have been having an “adult” dream and said a name other than his.

Now he tries to stay up later than me. I think he may be trying to question me while I’m sleeping in order to get more information out of me on the subject. My doctor said there is no guarantee my response would be true or even related to the questions my husband asked me.

Should I confront my husband about whatever is bothering him, or keep stressing myself out about what I may be saying in my sleep? – Night Talker In Indiana Dear Night Talker: Definitely talk to your husband and try to clear the air, because avoiding the subject isn’t healthy. If he’s really suspicious because of something you may have said while you were dreaming, discussing this together with your doctor may put his mind at ease. However, if it doesn’t, then I recommend you schedule a consultation for both of you with a sleep disorder specialist who can make clear that what people mumble during a dream sequence is not an indication of infidelity (or reality).

By EUGENIA LAST

Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – Make each moment count. Take your time and use your intelligence to help you make wise choices. Acting impulsively will lead to backward motion. A steady pace will help you avoid stress as you head toward the finish line.

Make quality your goal. Work hard and live within your means.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – See each matter through to the end. Don’t rely on others to take care of your responsibilities. Stay focused on what’s important and be cautious about your health.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Take the initiative

and go after what you want. Don’t let anyone stop you from reaching your goals. Stick to your plan and finish what you start.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Look at what you have, not at what you lack. It’s up to you to choose how to live. Don’t let others make choices for you. Do what makes you happy.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Don’t worry about what others are doing. Stay focused on what’s important to you. Live in the moment and surround yourself with the things and people that inspire you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Get work out of the way before you tend to personal matters. Someone will pressure you if you make a promise without delivering on it. Don’t let anyone make you look

bad.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Set high standards and live up to your promises. You have plenty to gain if you maintain a positive attitude and are open to unusual approaches.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Ask before you make changes at home that might not sit well with a partner or someone you live with. Getting the green light will help you avoid a setback.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Choose to put greater emphasis on personal pursuits, romance and relationships. The less communication with your colleagues, employer or institutions, the better. Problems with taxes and investments can be expected.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – If you want

to make changes, go about it the right way. If permission is required, seek it out first, and if you need more information, do your research.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Say what’s on your mind and clear the air. You’ll feel better and will be free to move forward with your plans once you know you have nothing to hide.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Don’t let temptation lead you down the wrong path. Be responsible, and if you really want to make a move or change, do so for the right reason.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Follow your intuition when dealing with your peers or negotiating a contract that could boost your earning power. Advancement can be yours if you ask for more responsibility. Focus on your strengths.

Hans Selye, an Austrian-Hungarian endocrinologist who died in 1982, said, “Adopting the right attitude can convert a negative stress into a positive one.” Or, at the bridge table, adopting the negative double can convert a minus score into a plus one.

These days, since players intervene with scant regard for suit quality or hand strength, you and your partner must be ready to fight back. Bridge is not a game for cowards.

If the opener bids one of a suit, the next player overcalls in a different suit, perhaps with a single jump, and the responder doubles, that is negative. Its primary job at a low level is to try to find a fit in an unbid major. In this deal, North’s double shows four hearts and 6 or more points. (North might have five hearts if his hand is too weak for a two-heart response, which promises 10-plus points.)

Over this double, South has an easy jump to four hearts. (Perhaps he thought about three no-trump, but that would not have worked well if West had led a high diamond. Then East would have signaled with the queen to tell West that the suit was running.)

West leads the diamond ace, cashes the diamond king and continues with a third diamond, which South ruffs.

On top, declarer has one spade, four hearts and four clubs. So, along with the diamond ruff, there are no worries. Just take the ruff, draw trumps and run the clubs.

What would North have done without the negative double? Presumably bid two clubs, potentially reaching a 3-3 fit. You will get positive results with negative doubles.

Finding his place

PR grad Jordan Getzelman sets home run record at Menlo College

By BARRY BOTTINO

sports@nwherald.com Four years. Four uniforms. Four states. Four groups of teammates.

With every stop in Jordan Getzelman’s college baseball travels – from Missouri to Iowa to Georgia to California – he has sought acceptance and, of course, success.

“As a new guy or as a freshman, you just don’t want to step on any toes,” said Getzelman, who was a power-hitting outfielder at Prairie Ridge when he chose to start his career at the NCAA Division I Missouri in 2015. “You don’t want to be the new guy. You just want to fit in.”

While trying to find his place, Getzelman admits he lost a bit of himself with each move – from the University of Missouri to Iowa Western Community College to Kennesaw State University to his current home, NAIA Menlo College in California.

“For every baseball player, we all go through a time when we base our self-worth on our performance,” he said. “When you don’t do well, it really affects your self-esteem. I was no stranger to that.

I would totally say I lost a little bit of spark for the game. The game will always be one of my first loves.

But some of the days were a grind.”

For everything Getzelman lost on his nomadic baseball trek, he’s gained it back exponentially this season at a small school 3 miles from Stanford University in the northern California town of Atherton, which has just more than 7,000 residents.

After hitting nine home runs in his first three college seasons, Getzelman has been reborn.

He leads the NAIA with a whopping 23 home runs, breaking the school record of Lucas Erceg, a player who was drafted in the second round last year by the Milwaukee Brewers.

“It’s something I’ve expected of myself,” Getzelman said. “It’s been a lot of fun. It’s enjoyable to come out to the baseball field every single day.”

Being new for four years in a row has provided plenty of challenges, on and off the field.

“You come in and your confidence to be a playmaker right away goes away,” he said. “You’re trying to impress people. You want to have this quiet confidence. You just shy away from your personality.

Unfortunately for me, I’m not a very quiet person. I had to find a way to really just be me.

“I wish I would have known all along that that was going to be enough,” he said.

BOUND FOR CALIFORNIA

A disappointing redshirt season at Missouri when he was mainly used as a pinch runner led Getzelman to Iowa Western Community College, where he was a top contributor for a program that went 54-7.

That season led to a spot back in NCAA Division I with Kennesaw (Ga.) State.

He batted .200 for the Owls last season with three home runs.

After the season, the coaching staff explained in a phone call that there was no scholarship money left

Menlo College senior Jordan Getzelman, a Prairie Ridge graduate, is having a career year with a school-record 23 home runs.

Jordan’s journey A year-by-year glance at Prairie Ridge grad Jordan Getzelman’s college baseball career 2014: University of Missouri: Mainly used as a pinch runner; 3 for 4 on stolen bases; redshirted 2015: Iowa Western CC: Hit .339 with six HRs, 41 RBIs on team that finished 54-7 2016: Kennesaw (Ga.) State: Batted .200, hit three HRs and drove in 10 runs for NCAA D-I team 2017: Menlo College: Leads NAIA with 23 HRs; hitting .329 with team-best 54 RBIs for him.

Wanting to play immediately, Getzelman researched non-Division I schools and choose Menlo, where head coach Jake McKinley has built a program where power hitting is embraced and those seeking a second chance are welcomed with open arms.

This season, Getzelman is one of 10 Menlo players who are transfers from four-year colleges.

“For the most part, we want our guys to know we believe in them,” McKinley said. “I think we’re pretty good at reminding them. I’ve had a lot of guys come from high-level Division I programs, and I love to pick their brains. It’s helped me learn as a coach. And there’s a connection there for those players. It’s like,

‘Hey, we’re having a second chance together.’”

Getzelman is the first player from the Midwest that has come to Menlo, McKinley said. That required a big commitment, which was not lost on Menlo’s coach.

“I think it takes a lot of courage to move to California,” McKinley said. “He’d never even been out here.

You move your whole life. You’re leaving Division I baseball to go to NAIA. That’s a big leap of faith.”

FEEDING THE TREES

The outfield fence surrounding Menlo’s baseball field is lined with trees.

During McKinley’s tenure, the team’s “feed the trees” mentality has caught on with players and led to long balls galore.

With the 6-foot-2, 215-pound Getzelman, his coach provides simple instructions.

“He’s a big, strong, physical kid, but he’s also intelligent,” McKinley said. “He has a game plan. He’s a very calculated hitter, and he has tremendous body awareness. The message to him is always, ‘Trust yourself and swing hard. If you hit it with that swing, it’s going to go a long way.’”

Getzelman said he’s spent countless hours researching the swing online trying to sharpen his skills.

“A lot of coaches, when I would struggle, would say, ‘Hit the ball on the ground,’” Getzelman said.

“That was probably limiting some of my strengths as

YOUTH HOCKEY

When the clock hit zero and the gloves came off, it was unlike any feeling in the world.

Three local hockey players helped the AAA Tier 1 Chicago Mission Bantam Major U14 hockey team win a national championship Monday in Scottsdale, Arizona.

The Mission – the same club team that produced Blackhawks players Ryan Hartman, Vinnie Hinostroza and Nick Schmaltz – entered nationals as the top-ranked Wyatt team in their age group Schingoethe and won all five games over the weekend, culminating in a 5-2 win over the New Jersey Colonials on Monday.

“We knew from day one that we wanted to throw our gloves off and be that championship team,” said Matt Romer, 14, of Carpentersville. “We always wanted that.”

Romer, a right wing, is an eighth grader at Dundee Middle School and will attend Jacobs next year. He teamed up with Nick Addante, 15, of Algonquin. Addante, a goalie, is a freshman at Jacobs now. Wyatt Schingoethe, 14, grew up in Algonquin and currently is a freshman at Glenbard West. The goal-scoring forward already is committed to play at Notre Dame.

All three have played with the Mission for about five years. The club practices out of Woodridge, but next

Erceg and former shortstop Max Dutto, a ninth-round draft pick by the White Sox last season.

Getzelman said he has set up meetings with scouts from a few teams, exchanged text messages with others and would jump at the chance to play professionally.

“Every (MLB) team has to come out here, at least just to check it out,” he said. “There’s been a lot of attention, and we’re lucky to have that. But you don’t know what’s going to happen until draft day.”

Although getting to this point has been occasionally painful, Getzelman appreciates where his career stands today.

“Every school contributed something to me,” he said. “I’ll be forever thankful for that. They’ve led to me being a better person and better baseball player in the long run.

“I’m thankful that I’ve at least had the opportunity to prove myself somewhere.”

Recently, Getzelman has been looking into how the back leg affects a baseball swing.

“The internet gives you access to just about every hitting coach in the country,” he said. “It’s really helped me grow as a hitter. I see the ball much better.”

REGAINING HIS VOICE

Unlike his previous stops, Getzelman managed to find his place quicker than usual at Menlo.

“There was a desire to fit in,” McKinley said. ”Anytime somebody moves that far from home and doesn’t know anybody, there’s a little bit of being timid.”

the Syracuse Nationals as the most intense of their five games in Scottsdale.

The Mission jumped out to a 3-1 lead before the Nationals stormed back to go up, 4-3. Schingoethe scored the game-tying goal 14:54 into the second period.

“Our team was falling apart after we had a lead,” Schingoethe said. “I wasn’t really playing well all tournament until that time. It was kind of like a turnaround.

“I was in the offensive zone calling for a pass. Once I got it I beat two of the defensemen, split the ‘D’ and then beat the goalie.”

The Mission scored again a minute into the third period and held on to win. Addante, the goalie, said the Nationals put on quite an assault in the final period.

“The whole third period after we scored...,” Addante said. “It was very intense.”

The Mission then beat the Colonials, 5-2, in the championship, scoring the game’s final three goals.

Schingoethe scored five goals throughout nationals. Romer had four assists. Addante played in goal four of the five games, including the semifinal and final.

“What a surreal moment it is to win a national title,” Addante said. “You realize how many kids would rather be in your place. Guys on our team were crying. Everything that we’ve worked for it all came true. It was priceless.”

Addante and Schingoethe grew up in the same Algonquin neighborhood.

Along with Romer, the three carpool to and from practice in various combinations on a given day. Addante and Romer are not committed to play in college yet, but both aspire to play at the next level.

For now, they’re still celebrating their hard work paying off.

“We had a lot of pressure,” Schingoethe said. “We were the favorite team going into the tournament. it was kind of relief, but also awesome because we finally did it.”

4 BULLS 106, CELTICS 102

Bulls take Game 1 on emotional night

By JOE COWLEY

jcowley@suntimes.com BOSTON – Bobby Portis was great.

Unexpected, but great.

The second-year Bulls player scored 19 points on 8-of-10 shooting off the bench and grabbed nine rebounds.

Robin Lopez was physical.

Expected, and physical.

The veteran big man owned the boards, including eight offensive rebounds.

But in a star league at a star time of the season, that’s where the Bulls really had Boston against the wall. And if the 106-102 Bulls win in Game 1 of the best-of-seven playoff series shocked some people, well, that shock wasn’t being felt in the visiting locker room of the TD Garden on Sunday.

Thanks to 30 points from three-time All-Star Jimmy Butler, as well as Rajon Rondo and Dwyane Wade combining for 23 points and 12 assists, the No. 8-seeded team in the Eastern Conference took down the top-seeded Celtics, and came away feeling like there was simply more where that came from.

“I mean for the most part,” Wade said, when asked if there was a certain comfort this Bulls team has knowing it just has more star players than Boston does. “Obviously, you have some teams that have won that said you don’t need it, as well. But the one thing it does, it’s comforting. It’s comforting for the coaches, it’s comforting for when you’re playing young guys, it’s comfortable for them when they know you have guys that you can go to that are going to make the right decision. That are going to get fouls late in games and make the free throws, make big shots, so it’s very comforting when you have that.

“And we’re blessed to have that guy over there [in Butler] that can do it,

The Celtics’ Isaiah Thomas stands by himself during team introductions before the game Sunday. Thomas’ sister, Chyna, died Saturday from injuries in a car accident. and when they call my number I try to do it as well. So I think that’s comforting for our team.”

It’s not to say the Bulls were only a three-man show by any means. In crunch time, however, the Bulls leaned on Butler, but looked like a roster with options. For Boston, it was more of Isaiah Thomas or bust.

“We were so locked in all week,’’ Butler said of the performance. “We knew their stuff just like they knew ours, but we executed extremely well.

We haven’t done that most of the season, but this was the right time to do it.”

Especially with the emotional storm awaiting them.

Thomas obviously was playing with a heavy heart, and there was some doubt whether he would even make the game after his younger sister, Chyna Thomas, was killed in a single-car crash Saturday morning in Washington.

Play he did, scoring 33 points. In the final five minutes, however, he only scored once when Butler was actually guarding him and didn’t get switched off.

Big-name players having big-game moments.

That’s why leading into this series all week, the Bulls sounded and acted like a very confident bunch, despite all the ups and downs of their regular season. It was almost a roster better suited for postseason play.

“If you’re going to beat them, you’re going to earn it, and [Sunday] I definitely felt like we earned this win,” Wade said.

As for Boston, it has to prepare for Game 2, as well as the emotions that Thomas still will be dealing with.

“It’s a difficult time for Isaiah and his family, and for us as well,’’ Boston

BLACKHAWKS

Fans voice displeasure with Hawks’ postseason play

By MARK LAZERUS

mlazerus@suntimes.com The game started with the typical deafening roars during the national anthem, but the soundtrack became increasingly angsty as the game went on and it became increasingly clear that the Blackhawks not only might not win the game, but might not score a goal.

Again.

The roars became murmurs, which

then became grumbles, which then became occasional angry exhortations, until finally, as the Hawks trudged off the ice following the second period Saturday night, a rarely heard sound rained down on them from the 22,000plus in attendance: Boos.

And the Hawks couldn’t blame them.

“Fans in Chicago are great fans,” defenseman Brent Seabrook said.

“They support us through thick and

thin. And we weren’t holding up our end of the bargain [Saturday] night.”

Joel Quenneville put it even more bluntly: “They had nothing to be happy about.”

Neither do the Hawks. They trail their first-round series with the Nashville Predators 2-0 after dropping the first two games at home – a situation even the tried-and-tested Hawks have never faced in the Quenneville era.

They’re playing a team that, despite

its seeding, is playing better, harder, faster and hungrier. They’re facing a goalie, Pekka Rinne, who is at the top of his game and who has posted two shutouts to open the series.

Most alarming is how badly the Hawks lost on Saturday. This wasn’t a puck-luck loss, where a fluky bounce or one bad play costs them a game. The Hawks looked slow. They looked sloppy. And they looked awful.

And now, they look mad.

Pirates complete three-game sweep

By EVAN F. MOORE

Daily Herald correspondent The Cubs appeared to have staved off a sweep from the Pittsburgh Pirates on Easter Sunday until things fell apart in the eighth inning in front of 39,422 of the Wrigley Field faithful.

The Pirates completed the threegame sweep by beating the Cubs, 6-1, in dramatic fashion.

Once Cubs pitcher Jon Lester left the game with a 1-0 lead, relief pitcher Koji Uehara promptly gave up two hits and two walks, giving the Pirates a 3-1 lead.

The Pirates staged a resurrection of their own by chasing Uehara from the game when infielder Jordy Mercer singled to right-center field, scoring pinch hitter John Jaso, tying the game at 1. The Pirates tacked on another two runs when Mercer and rookie infielder Alen Hanson scored.

Uehara, who took the loss, entered the game with a 20-inning scoreless streak, the second longest in baseball.

He was replaced by reliever Hector Rondon.

“Ronny almost got out of the entire mess,” Cubs manager Joe Maddon said after the game. “The play at the plate, it’s one of those things. When the play ‘stands,’ it’s frustrating, but that’s the way it works. That’s two days in a row. We just have to do a better job at the end of the game protecting leads.

That’s all. We made so many good plays on defense. We were outstanding. Whether it was picking guys off, throwing guys out, the bunt defense, KB down the third-base line … there were so many really good plays.

“We did so many good things, but we did not get the hit. That’s been more of our problem than anything, not getting a clutch hit and holding a lead at the end of the game.”

The Cubs are 5-1 this season when they’ve outhit the opposition, and have lost their first game of the season when having the lead going into the eighth inning.

“We’re never going to single out any certain part of the game, but you know, as far as hitting goes, you take that as part of the group. You want to hit well together, and we didn’t do that this series,” infielder Ben Zobrist said. “Regardless of personal statistics, we got to score more runs. Get the bats going and keep working every day and have good, quality at-bats.”

The Pirates added to their lead in the top of the ninth when Adam Frazier hit a three-run homer off Cubs reliever Justin Grimm, scoring John Jaso and Josh Harrison to extend their lead to 6-1.

Pirates pitcher Jameson Taillon (10) pitched seven innings, striking out six for the win. He pitched his fourth career start of at least seven innings without allowing an earned run.

“I don’t know if it’s a statement to anyone but ourselves,” Taillon said.

“We’ve played some pretty bad baseball against the Reds. We knew we were better than that. To be able to answer, come in here and beat a great team that we respect a great amount, that speaks a lot for the character in this club.”

Pirates skipper Clint Hurdle echoed Taillon’s sentiments on Sunday’s start.

“He showed some great growth today,” Hurdle said. “The seventh in-

Made pitches he wanted to. Kept us in the game, kept them off the plate after one got in. Just a fantastic effort.”

The Cubs got on the board first in the seventh inning when Tommy LaStella, who was pinch hitting for Lester, hit a double to left field, scoring Jason Heyward.

Lester (0-0) got the no-decision after Uehara couldn’t hold the lead. Lester pitched seven innings, giving up three hits and striking out three on 103 pitches, 67 of them for strikes.

Cubs catcher Willson Contreras tries to force out Pittsburgh Pirates’ Alen Hanson as Hanson slides home safely after Andrew McCutchen grounded into a fielder’s choice during the eighth inning Sunday at Wrigley Field.

Before Sunday’s game against the Pittsburgh Pirates, Cubs manager Joe Maddon talked about his team’s chances of defending their World Series title, while so many teams have improved since last season.

“I’ve been looking at that,” Maddon said. “I was looking at that last year, just playing against Milwaukee at the end of the year, and playing against Cincinnati, and what they were going through and knowing that they had some nice stuff coming along.

“Cincinnati has some really live, athletic bodies there, I thought. Same with Milwaukee. This team here, Pittsburgh. Again, as they pitch, they’re going to win, because they have a really nice team on the field.”

Even though the Cubs’ skipper has taken notice of the improvement of the Reds and Pirates, who swept a three-game series against the Cubs this weekend, he said he can never count out the things teams are using to knock the Cubs off their championship pedestal.

“Of course, St. Louis is St. Louis. I do believe almost everybody ... the Diamondbacks are going to have a better year than they had last year just based on health,” Maddon said. “One of the hardest things to do on a daily basis is to win a Major League Baseball game. It really is. I don’t care who you’re playing or where you’re playing, it’s very difficult to do. Now, when the talent level, and the way the game is trending right now, it’s getting more back to real baseball. It’s not just trying to swing as hard as you can and hit a home run.”

He also said teams are counting on athleticism to prevent runs.

“Athleticism is really starting to show up,” he said. “It’s not just big, strong guys trying to hit the ball out of the ballpark. That’s my perception of what I’m seeing right now. I think it’s happening a lot in this league and in our division, too. It’s going to be very interesting.”

Maddon said he believes the pitching and metrics will be things that teams will continue to lean on heavily.

“They want defenders that can catch the ball,” he said. “It’s becoming more in vogue now to get the run prevention as opposed to just trying to generate runs.”

6 WHITE SOX 3, TWINS 1 (10 INN.)

Garcia’s 10th-inning home run lifts Sox over Twins

By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN

WHITE SOX 3, TWINS 1 (10 INN.)

dvanschouwen@suntimes.com

MINNEAPOLIS – If Avisail Garcia carries this hot start into something more than the lukewarm performances that marked the first few seasons of his career and have been a source of consternation from fans and media criticism, he probably won’t be one to gloat.

Garcia, who had underachieved since the Sox got him as a highly thought-of prospect in a trade for Jake Peavy in 2013, says he doesn’t have rabbit ears when it comes to what others have said about him.

“I don’t pay attention to what everybody says,” he said Sunday. “I control what I can control. What people say about me, I don’t pay attention. I know who I am, so just keep working hard and do what can I do for my team.’’

All he’s done for his team is hit a baseball-best .465, enhanced by his biggest day yet, a 4-for-5 performance including a two-run, tiebreaking home run to the opposite field against righthander Ryan Pressly in the 10th inning to give the Sox a 3-1 victory and their second straight series win on the road against an AL Central opponent.

Garcia has improved his diet and is playing at about 15 pounds lighter than last year, which he says helps him come to the park more energized than before.

That’s nice, manager Rick Renteria said, but the key to Garcia’s hot start is a better approach at the plate.

“He’s simplifying it and keeping his approach in a particular way where he’s not trying to do too much,” Renteria said. “He’s focusing on making good contact. I can guarantee you he didn’t

“When he’s going well he’s balanced, White Sox right fielder Avisail Garcia watches his two-run home run against the Twins swinging at good pitches and using the leave the park in the 10th inning Sunday in Minneapolis. go up there thinking he was going to hit a homer. With a man that strong, you put a good swing on a ball, you attack it and you click it, it has a chance to go.’’

“I’m just trying to stay inside the ball,” Garcia said. “The good hitters hit to the other part of the field. That’s what [Miguel] Cabrera does, all day.

That’s what I’m trying to do.”

Garcia, slotted fourth in the lineup against lefty Hector Santiago, said he swung too hard at the first strike then told himself to reel it in.

“Just put the barrel on the ball,’’ he said to himself.

Garcia hit 13 homers in 2015 and

12 in 2016, but he has tape-measure strength to compete with anyone.

This is a crossroads campaign for Garcia, who has to produce and then some to offset his unfavorable defensive metrics in right field. He wisely cautioned after Sunday’s game that it’s still early.

Hitting coach Todd Steverson said Garcia still will swing at balls out of the zone – as all hitters do.

“But the approach has been there, the mindset has been there,” Steverson said. “At the end of the day, you want to see the consistency of it over a full season.”

whole field. I mean, he’s very strong to the opposite field and center field.”

The Sox ended a run of 18 straight scoreless innings after Garcia bounced a hard single off the right field wall in the eighth, sending Jose Abreu to third.

Matt Davidson tied it with a sacrifice fly.

Abreu, Tim Anderson, Jacob May, Todd Frazier and Cody Asche all are hitting under .200, but Garcia has kept the lineup afloat, while Sox pitchers have posted a 2.71 ERA. Closer David Robertson, who got his third save, has retired 15 of 16 batters with 10 strikeouts for a bullpen that boasts a 1.43 ERA.

WHITE SOX NOTES

Right-hander Shields looking more accomplished

By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN dvanschouwen@suntimes.com

MINNEAPOLIS – Three starts into the season and James Shields, the much maligned right-hander who came from the Padres in a questionable trade last June, is looking like the accomplished right-hander the Sox thought they were getting when they made the deal.

Shields’ six-inning performance Sunday was the third good outing in as many starts for the 35-year-old who ranks first in the major leagues in innings and starts since 2007. After going 6-19 with a dreadful 5.85 ERA between two teams last season, Shields

is making quality starts again, posting a 1.62 ERA with a 1-0 record and two no-decisons. The only run he allowed was an inside the park homer by Brian Dozier leading off the fifth, one of nine hits against him all season over 162⁄3 innings. He struck out five and walked three.

“Just trying to be as aggressive as I possibly can, trying to mix up speeds, get them off balance a little bit,” Shields said. “We have a long season to go. I’m off to a good start but we have a lot of work to do.’’

Shields has featured a slow curve more than usual this year. He dropped a 69-mph pitch in for a strikeout of Miguel Sano in the first and got the slugger

to look at another slow curve for strike three in the third. The scoreboard described it as an “eephus” pitch.

Anderson gets day off: Manager Rick Renteria gave struggling shortstop Tim Anderson a mental health day Sunday.

“Just to let him kind of sit back and watch the ball game a little bit,” Renteria said.

“Kind of take a breath. That’s it.

He’ll be back in there tomorrow.”

Anderson, who signed a six-year, $25 million extension during spring training, is 6 for 43 (.140) this season, including two hits in his last 21 at-bats.

One of them was a homer leading off the Sox’ 10-4 win against the Indians Thursday.

Frazier still ailing: Todd Frazier was also out of the lineup, a day after he left in the fourth inning Saturday with recurring flu-like symptoms. Frazier had missed two games in Cleveland because he was sick.

“He’s still a little dehydrated so we’re letting him rest and recover,” Renteria said.

Matt Davidson played third and hit a game-tying sacrifice fly for his 10th RBI and singled twice, raising his average to .370.

Melky returns: Melky Cabrera will rejoin the team in New York Monday after three days on the paternity list.

Willy Garcia was sent back to Triple A Charlotte.
