Money Smart Week offers way to learn the easier way Life is a long string of lessons. A lot of what we come to know is by trial and error.

Sure, we can learn the basics in school, but it can’t possibly cover every scenario or circumstance in which we’ll find ourselves.

For a lot of us, that goes for money matters especially. Sadly.

Wouldn’t it be great if we could have an instructional manual, or at least a little more information to make better decisions?

I had the good fortune to be raised by parents who lived through the Great Depression.

They made it abundantly clear I should not go into debt. “Live within your means” was the mantra.

Of course, that was easier said than done. Some youthful forays with credit cards could have set me on a course a lot of people find themselves: in debt up to my eyeballs.

However, the good fortune of falling in love with my husband and paying off my credit cards before our wedding got our marriage off on the right financial footing.

However, wouldn’t it be better to depend more on knowledge than luck when it comes to money matters?

That’s where Money Smart Week, which takes place Saturday through April 29, can help fill in the gaps in our knowledge of dollars and cents, insurance and a whole lot more.

The event was created in 2002 by the Money Smart Advisory Council, a group of more than 40 Chicago-area organizations with the goal of promoting financial literacy.

The effort, coordinated in part by the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, has expanded a lot since then, with campaigns in more than a dozen states. Last year, more than 27,000 people participated in more than 1,100 events in Illinois, the people behind Money Smart Week said.

Local offerings cover topics including borrowing basics, home ownership, banking,

‘‘

VIEWS Joan Oliver money matters for kids, taxes for small business, financial planning, business insurance, reverse mortgages and utility bills.

Area programs are planned at McHenry Bank and Trust, Crystal Lake Bank and Trust, the Crystal Lake Public Library and the McHenry Public Library.

For a complete list of offerings in McHenry County and the surrounding area, visit www. moneysmartweek.org and go to “Find Events.”

If you can’t make it to any of the area events, you still can obtain some valuable information by visiting the website and going to the “Learn” section.

There you will find links to topics such as “10 Bad Financial Habits You Need to Break to Get Out of Debt,” “7 Reasons Why Your Personal Budget is Failing and How to Fix It,” and “Saving for College.”

Or you can visit www.mymoney.gov.

There you will find money quizzes and suggestions based on “life events” such as getting married, having a child, planning for college, starting a business or death of a family member, to name a few.

No doubt we all could use a little help and information to make better decisions with our hard-earned cash.

Wouldn’t it be nice not to have to attend the School of Hard Knocks to figure out what works?

I had the good fortune to be raised by parents who lived through the Great Depression. They made it abundantly clear I should not go into debt. ‘Live within your means’ was the mantra.

‘MY ALLEGIANCE IS TO YOU’ Hultgren fields questions at League of Women Voters event

By BRENDA SCHORY

bschory@shawmedia.com ST. CHARLES – U.S. Rep. Randy Hultgren, R-Plano, faced a frequently raucous crowd of more than 500 people at a question-and-answer forum Tuesday at the Arcada Theatre in St. Charles.

Hosted by five League of Women Voters groups, Hultgren fielded questions for 90 minutes that covered topics ranging from forcing President Donald Trump to release his tax returns to requiring insurance companies to cover pre-existing conditions and abstinence-only sex education.

“I am committed to voting no,” Hult-

gren said, about the prospect of a health care bill being presented that would allow insurance companies to deny coverage because of pre-existing conditions.

“I have been very upfront about this. ... The current system we’ve got is not working like we thought it could.”

Hultgren represents the 14th Congressional District, which includes parts of McHenry, DeKalb, DuPage, Kendall, Kane, Lake and Will counties.

He had been pressed by some in the public to answer questions from constituents in the wake of Trump’s election.

When Hultgren said health care reform could be done through a marketplace with options, it was met with

boos and people holding up red cards – a symbol of disagreement.

Asked whether he would support a single-payer system such as Medicare for all, Hultgren responded: “I think Medicare is great. I don’t think it’s the only answer out there.”

Booing commenced again.

But the crowd did cheer when Hultgren said the most effective form of constituent advocacy was protest, and when he said he doesn’t want to support another government shutdown.

To a question about why he co-sponsored a sex education bill, which was opposed by the American Medical Association because of the abstinence-on-

ly aspect of it, Hultgren said there was room for both types of sex education.

“We want our kids to be healthy and safe,” Hultgren said. “I think it’s a shame to believe your kids are going to make bad decisions.”

Hultgren said he agreed there should be a law in place requiring presidential candidates to disclose their tax returns, and he defended a procedural vote against requiring Trump to do so because the election was over.

“In America, we have ex post facto – we cannot go backwards,” Hultgren said.

Judge recuses himself in case of CL lawyer convicted of child porn

By JORDYN REILAND

jreiland@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – The sentencing of a Crystal Lake lawyer convicted of a child pornography charge was delayed Tuesday when the McHenry County judge who tried the case recused himself.

McHenry County Judge Michael Feetterer said he would not be able to hear any post-trial motions or sentence James Zeas on the felony charge, citing a conflict of interest.

Feetterer said he recently found out that his wife shared an office space with Zeas’ divorce attorney.

Zeas, 48, was convicted of the charge in February after Feetterer found that the lawyer recorded a young teenage girl un-

The risk factors for type 2 diabetes include, but are not limited to, family history, obesity, sedentary lifestyle and dietary habits.

“Type 2 diabetes can be diagnosed by visiting your primary care provider, who will conduct a simple blood test,” Jun said.

By Diane Krieger Spivak April is Defeat Diabetes Month. For those who have been diagnosed with diabetes, it is important to understand which of the different types affects them.

“Type 1 diabetes, often referred to in the past as juvenile diabetes, generally affects the younger population, including children and teenagers,” said Dr. Greg Jun, an internist at Centegra Physician Care. “Type 2 diabetes generally affects the young adult and adult populations, while gestational diabetes affects women in pregnancy.”

Type 1 diabetes is a condition where the pancreas is unable to produce enough insulin to counteract the amount of sugar, or glucose, in the body. Type 2 diabetes is a condition where the body is resistant to the effects of the insulin that is circulating throughout the body, Jun said.

“Both type 1 and type 2 diabetes involve controlling blood sugar in the body,” Jun said.

“Those with type 1 and type 2 need to be mindful in managing their blood sugars. This includes lifestyle modifications, including a

“Prediabetes is a condition of impaired glucose tolerance,” Jun said. “This is where your blood glucose is higher than normal, but not quite at the diabetes level. There are many ways a person can help reduce the risk of developing diabetes. This includes a healthy diet of low carbohydrates, regular exercise and weight management.”

Complications from both types of diabetes can include heart disease, nerve damage, kidney failure and vision loss.

“Type 2 diabetes can be controlled by having a close relationship with your primary care provider,” Jun said. “It is a complex condition which requires close monitoring and detailed treatment plans.”

LOCAL BRIEF

Lt. Gov. Evelyn Sanguinetti, who is leading Gov. Bruce Rauner’s local government consolidation initiative, recognized the McHenry-Lake County Soil and Water Conservation District and the McHenry County Planning and Development Department for sharing an employee to save taxpayers’ money in Woodstock.

Lt. gov. honors McHenry County for saving with shared services

By KEVIN P. CRAVER

kcraver@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – Two local governments in a state that critics say has far too many of them got a pat on the back Tuesday from Lt. Gov. Evelyn Sanguinetti for saving taxpayer money by sharing services.

Sanguinetti, who has taken on the cause of paring down the state’s nearly 7,000 units of government, recognized the McHenry County Planning and Development Department and the McHenry-Lake County Soil and Water Conservation District for sharing an employee.

Since 2012, the department has subcontracted a district employee to review all wetland permit requirements, eliminating the need to hire an extra staff member and saving an estimated $500,000 to date in salary, benefits and staff time.

The example falls under one of 27 recommendations listed in a first-ofits-kind report from Sanguinetti’s office showing local governments leading by example to try to save taxpayers’ money.

Illinois not only has the largest number of local governments, but also, and likely not coincidentally, the highest property tax burden of all 50 states.

Although many governments are sharing equipment and staff, San-

On the Web Read the final report of the Task Force on Local Government Consolidation and Unfunded Mandates and the inaugural Journal of Local Government Shared Services Best Practices at www.illinois.gov/ltg. guinetti said McHenry County’s example stands out because it’s expertise that is being shared.

“This one was extra special because they’re sharing brain power, and there is a public policy component to it,” she said after the brief ceremony at the McHenry County Administration Building.

Illinois has more than 6,900 units of local government, far more than any other state, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. The first runner-up, Texas, which has more than double Illinois’ population and is almost five times larger by size, has 5,147 – about 1,800 fewer.

Gov. Bruce Rauner, who highlighted property tax reform as one of his top legislative priorities during his 2014 campaign, created the Task Force on Local Government Consolidation and Unfunded Mandates by executive order in 2015, and he put Sanguinetti in charge of it. Former state Rep. – and now the County Board chairman – Jack Franks, who

headed such a task force under the previous governor, was assigned to the new one.

Among the task force’s 27 recommendations are cutting costs to taxpayers by sharing services where possible. Sanguinetti’s office in December published its inaugural Journal of Local Government Shared Services Best Practices, which highlights examples for Illinois governments to follow.

Accepting the certificates from Sanguinetti were Joanna Colletti, water resources manager for the Planning and Development Department, and Spring Duffey, resource analyst for the Soil and Water Conservation District.

The main reason Illinois has so many governments likely has its roots in a borrowing cap that was part of the 1870 Illinois Constitution, which lasted for a century before the current 1970 Constitution.

Municipal and county governments that reached that constitutional debt limit and wanted to add services asked lawmakers to allow the creation of special districts that flourish today.

The types of special districts in Illinois are many, from fire protection and library districts to obscure ones such as cemetery, museum, street lighting, drainage and mosquito abatement districts.

The U.S. Tennis Association/Midwest Section, in partnership with the Algonquin Community Tennis Association, is offering a Midwest Youth Team Tennis program in Algonquin open to girls and boys ages 5 through 14 years old and all skill levels. The format uses age-appropriate equipment, court dimensions and scoring, tailoring the game to kids’ size and age so participants can learn skills quickly.

The program meets Tuesdays and Thursdays from May 30 to June 15 at Jacobs High School tennis courts, 2601 Bunker Hill, Algonquin, from 9 to 10 a.m. for ages 5 through 10, and from 10:15 to 11:30 a.m. for ages 11 to 14 years old. Registration before costs $70 through April 30 and $90 through May 30, and includes an age-appropriate tennis racquet and ball, team uniform, and a free one-year USTA Jr. membership. For information or to sign up, visit www. midwestteamtennis.com.

Coaches and volunteers are always needed and training will be provided to those who volunteer.

From the motion filed by Douglas Zeit, Kimberly Zinke’s defense lawyer cials that between January 2015 and April 2015, they did not have a record of her putting the prescription pills into the vault.

Zeit argued that Backus’ testimony was false because there is clear evidence that shows Illinois State Police investigators did not know about the four boxes of discarded prescription pills until after they searched Zinke’s Woodstock home in April 2015.

“It is apparent that the State was trying to prejudice the Grand Jury against [Zinke] by falsely misleading them into believing that defendant had committed some prior bad act related to the collection of discarded prescriptions,” Zeit said in his motion.

Zeit said the reason there was no record of discarded prescription drugs being picked up and put into the vault is because the Kane County Sheriff’s Office does not keep those records. He said this information was never presented to the grand jury, and he claimed that prosecutors “misled” them into believing that if Zinke had deposited the boxes, then a record of that would have existed.

“The State intentionally or recklessly presented false, misleading, and deceptive testimony to the Grand Jury, clearly violating [Zinke’s] due process rights, resulting in prejudice to [her] and causing substantial injustice,” Zeit said in the motion.

Zinke is facing three counts of un-

lawful possession of a controlled substance, Class 4 felonies. She faces up to three years in prison or probation.

Prosecutors alleged that Zinke possessed modafinil, used to treat narcolepsy and excessive sleepiness; zolpidem, which is used as a sleep aid; and tapentadol, an opioid pain medication, according to the indictment.

The case was transferred to Lake County last year after McHenry County judges recused themselves.

Her husband, Andrew Zinke, previously worked in former Sheriff Keith Nygren’s administration and ran for sheriff in 2014 after Nygren announced his retirement. Zinke lost to Bill Prim in the Republican primary, and former McHenry County State’s Attorney Lou Bianchi supported Prim, who won the election.

Lake County Judge Patricia Fix is presiding over the case. If the case goes to trial, the trial would be held in McHenry County.

Lake County also agreed to prosecute the case because of Zinke’s local connections.

She will appear Wednesday in Lake County Court with her attorney to argue the motion.

WOODSTOCK – A Kane County deputy who is the wife of an ex-McHenry County undersheriff accused of illegally possessing three different medications claims that prosecutors presented false, misleading and deceptive testimony to the grand jury that charged her.

Kimberly Zinke alleges that testimony presented by McHenry County prosecutors to the grand jury resulted in “substantial injustice and prejudice” to her. A motion to dismiss the charges was filed by her defense lawyer, Douglas Zeit, in McHenry County Court.

Illinois State Police Master Sgt. William Backus, the only witness to testify before the grand jury, said the investigation into Zinke’s “suspicious activity” began in January 2015, when Zinke picked up four boxes of prescription pills from the Woodstock Police Department. Zinke was expected to drop off the boxes at the Kane County Sheriff’s Office as part of her normal job duties.

He also said his department found out from Kane County Sheriff’s offi-

“The State intentionally or recklessly presented false, misleading, and deceptive testimony to the Grand Jury, clearly violating [Zinke’s] due process rights, resulting in prejudice to [her] and causing substantial injustice.”

LAKE IN THE HILLS – After operating for about 17 years in Lake in the Hills, Butcher on the Block is expanding its business to a caboose concession stand in East Dundee.

The deli and butcher shop, 4660 W. Algonquin Road, nearly doubled its size after expanding last summer in Lake in the Hills, and owner Tom Yucuis said he can’t wait to bring good food to East Dundee’s downtown.

“We have a menu that is quite exciting, to say the least,” Yucuis said of the stand, which will feature options different from what’s available at the Lake in the Hills store.

The new menu will feature items including brisket burgers, an assortment of brats, garlic Parmesan fries and walking tacos, as well as some healthy options such as power bars and energy drinks for those using the Fox River Trail near the stand.

East Dundee trustees approved

The caboose, 112 Railroad St., was bought by the village about three and a half years ago and is about 350 square feet, East Dundee Village Administrator Bob Skurla said.

The village considered four other vendors to lease out the space, he said.

“They were the only one of the four applicants that really had ongoing, current experience running a food service operation,” Skurla said of Butcher on the Block.

The village also liked that Butcher on the Block owners, Tom and Jill Yucuis, are East Dundee residents and locally source much of their food, Skurla said.

When asked whether he would take steps to impeach Trump if an investigation showed collusion between Trump and Russia to influence the election, Hultgren said, “What I’m going to do is my job.”

“I absolutely don’t trust Russia.

They are not our friend,” Hultgren said.

“I’m going to do everything I can to protect you. My allegiance is to you.”

Hultgren attended the forum after weeks of protests from constituents demanding a public town hall at his Campton Hills district office.

Among the constituents who attended was Linda Ottum of Huntley, who said she was happy to see that Hultgren finally agreed to a meeting with his constituents.

“I’m frightened for what’s happening in our country right now,” Ottum said. “I wish the people that we’re sending to Congress would work with one another across the aisle and try compromising instead of being in their own little factions. Nothing is getting done when they’re working that way.”

Ottum said that when she was young, Democrats and Republicans worked together.

“And now it’s so polarized that the people are not being served because of this type of action,” Ottum said.

Audience members hold small signs of their approval or disapproval as U.S. Rep. Randy Hultgren, R-Plano, answers questions during a town hall meeting Tuesday hosted by various League of Women Voters organizations at the Arcada Theatre in St. Charles. Hultgren discussed topics that covered topics ranging from forcing President Donald Trump to release his tax returns to requiring insurance companies to cover pre-existing conditions and abstinence-only sex education.

The event’s guest speaker will be former NFL tight end Christian Hopkins, who will talk about his personal experience with homelessness.

Attendees also will get to enjoy an organ concert featuring iconic musical pieces by famous organist R. Jelani Eddington.

Founded in 1987, the nonprofit later expanded to include four more units

PAID ADVERTISING ATTENTION: McHenry County residents age 50-80 considering Total Knee Replacement in the next 2 months.

HOW TO AVOID DEVELOPING SEVERE STIFFNESS IN THE OPERATED KNEE FOLLOWING TOTAL KNEE REPLACEMENT Free Workshop Reveals the Single Biggest #1 Secret To Ensure Successful Recovery from Total Knee Replacement Dear Fellow McHenry County Resident, Has your knee finally had it? …walking has gotten so excruciating? …stairs have become intimidating? …and you just can’t stand for any length of time anymore?

And it’s not just the pain in your knee, what’s more frustrating is… …missing out on spending quality family time with your spouse, kids and grandkids. …giving up on your hobby…golf, bowling, tennis, shopping, or just plain going out to dinner. …feeling like you’re not the same person anymore. It’s discouraging.

Here comes Total Knee Replacement…

Is Total Knee Replacement for You?

Knee replacement, also called arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure to resurface a knee damaged by arthritis. Metal and plastic parts are used to cap the ends of the bones that form the knee joint, along with the kneecap. The great news is…90% of patients who undergo Total Knee Replacement experience dramatic pain relief…which allows patients to get back to enjoying the simple things of daily life again!

But what can go wrong?

Stiff Knee Syndrome (in medical lingo, Arthrofibrosis)

This condition can occur after surgery on the knee, such as a knee replacement. Over time, scar tissue builds up inside the knee, causing the knee joint to shrink and tighten.

Scar tissue from stiff knee syndrome can severely impact your knee’s range of motion. In the most severe instances, it can result in a permanent inability to bend and straighten the knee. Some knee stiffness following a total knee replacement is normal. Severe stiffness is not.

So how do you know if you have stiff knee syndrome?

• •

You walk with a bent knee There is increased amount of pain which could be the result of stiff knee syndrome, especially when it occurs along with reduced flexibility.

There is swelling in the soft tissue around your knee. This is different than swelling due to fluid buildup.

Blagojevich’s attorneys seek term reduction

By MICHAEL TARM The Associated Press

CHICAGO – Attorneys for former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich urged an appellate panel Tuesday to grant him a third sentencing hearing, arguing their client’s behavior in prison justifies sharply reducing his 14-year term for corruption.

Ilana Diamond Rovner, one of the three 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals judges who heard the arguments, suggested that Blagojevich might have gotten a lesser sentence from a different trial judge.

A prosecutor told the panel that lower court Judge James Zagel was right to stand by the original sentence because Blagojevich, 60, has never admitted serious wrongdoing.

“There’s nothing anywhere where AP file photo the defendant says, ‘I apologize for put- Former Illinois Gov.

Some Illinois school districts offer free ACT exams

CHICAGO – Thousands of high school juniors in public schools across Illinois will also get to take the ACT college entrance exam courtesy of their districts in addition to the free SAT. According to ACT Inc., New Trier Township High School, Lyons Township High School District 204, Adlai Stevenson and Warren Township are among about 30 public school districts and private schools giving the ACT to their students.

ACT Inc.’s contract ended with Illinois public high schools after 15 years, the Chicago Tribune reported. The College Board’s SAT won a multimillion-dollar contract from Illinois to give its exam to more than 140,000 juniors starting this spring.

But educators said the history and connection to the ACT didn’t go away as

students in many district had taken precursor tests in earlier grades to pave the way for the ACT as juniors.

“So we’ve started them on the path to the ACT, but the state decided to go with the SAT in the middle of all this and we didn’t feel it would be fair for our students to not have a test they were familiar with,” said Scott Eggerding, director of curriculum and instruction at District 204.

Adlai Stevenson spokesman Jim Conrey said the district also wanted to honor its commitment to students who had received ACT-focused training.

West Side Heroin Task Force discusses opioid crisis

CHICAGO – Town hall meetings to discuss opioid abuse are scheduled in the Chicago area.

The West Side Heroin Task Force had a town hall meeting Tuesday to examine what officials have said is an opioid crisis.

Presentations were given by the Illinois Department of Public Health and Chicago Department of Public Health. Others discussed drug abuse and child custody, overdose prevention and information

Jury awards $350K in teen’s fatal Chicago police shooting

CHICAGO – Jurors have awarded $350,000 in damages in a lawsuit brought by the mother of a black teen fatally shot

by Chicago police.

The Chicago Tribune reported that the jury found the July 2013 shooting of 17-year-old Christian Green unjustified.

They awarded the damages Tuesday.

Attorney Victor Henderson representing the teen’s mother told jurors Green already tried to ditch a weapon and was shot in the back while running away. Prosecutors said Officer Robert Gonzalez was justified shooting Green because the teen was pointing a handgun at him.

an unqualified apology would contradict his client’s position that he never crossed legal lines.

“He likes to quote Voltaire, who said: ‘It’s dangerous to be right when the government is wrong,’” Goodman said. “The government wants him to apologize for crimes he didn’t commit.”

After the 7th Circuit tossed five of the 18 convictions in 2015, Zagel was ordered to resentence Blagojevich.

When he did last August, he imposed the same 14-year sentence.

“I will grant you that Mr. Blagojevich has conducted himself admirably in prison and perhaps this is something that a different judge would give more weight to,” Rovner said.

Rovner also asked Blagojevich attorney Michael Nash whether Zagel was obliged to factor in laudable behavior by Blagojevich. Nash said his objection was that “Zagel dismissed it out of hand.”

The current appeal, filed in December, said Zagel should have put greater weight on 100 letters from fellow inmates who described how Blagojevich taught history and served as a life coach to prisoners. He even formed a prison band called The Jailhouse Rockers.

A bullet struck Green in the left side of his back, piercing his lung and heart. Court records show Green’s gun was found in a vacant lot about 75 feet from his body.

Henderson said the money won’t bring Green back, but is symbol that he mattered.

Lawsuit: Prosecutors faked evidence to convict man

CHICAGO – A lawsuit alleges two former prosecutors conspired with a Chicago police sergeant and others to fabricate evidence that led to a wrongful murder conviction.

The lawsuit filed Monday seeks $60 million in damages for Armando Serrano.

He and co-defendant Jose Montanez were released last summer, after more than two decades in prison, when prosecutors dropped charges.

The lawsuit alleges that former Detective Reynaldo Guevara and then-assistant state’s attorneys Matthew Coghlan and John Dillon collaborated to pressure a key witness into pinning the 1993 murder of Rodrigo Vargas on Serrano.

Trump signs an order targeting visa program

By CATHERINE LUCEY and SCOTT BAUER The Associated Press

KENOSHA, Wis. – Turning back to the economic populism that helped drive his election campaign, President Donald Trump signed an order Tuesday he said should help American workers whose jobs are threatened by skilled immigrants.

At the headquarters of hand and power tool manufacturer Snap-on Inc., Trump signed an order that asks the government to propose new rules and changes that will stop what he called abuses in a visa program used by U.S. technology companies. Dubbed “Buy American and Hire American,” the directive follows a series of recent Trump reversals on economic policies.

“We are going to defend our workers, protect our jobs and finally put America first,” Trump declared, standing in front of an American flag fashioned out of wrenches.

Much like some previous orders, however, Trump’s executive action Tuesday essentially looks for detailed reports rather than making decisive changes. In this case, the reports are about granting visas for highly skilled foreign workers and ensuring that government purchasing programs buy American made goods as required by law.

Trump chose to sign the directive at Snapon Inc., based in Wisconsin, a state he narrowly carried in November on the strength of support from white, working-class voters. Trump currently has only a 41 percent approval rating in the state.

He campaigned last year on promises to overhaul U.S. trade and regulatory policy, but his executive orders on those issues reflect the administration bowing somewhat to the limits of presidential power. Also, he has recently reversed several populist prom-

ises, including standing up to China, which he contended was manipulating its currency and stealing American jobs, and eliminating the Export-Import Bank, which he billed as wasteful subsidy.

But Trump returned to Tuesday to the economic tough talk of his campaign, saying: “We’re going to make some very big changes or we are going to get rid of NAFTA for once and for all,” referring to the Clinton-era U.S. trade pact with Canada and Mexico.

In his new directive, the president is targeting the H-1B visa program, which the White House says undercuts U.S. workers by bringing in large numbers of cheaper, foreign workers and driving down wages. The tech industry has argued that the H-1B program is needed because it encourages students to stay in the U.S. after getting degrees in high-tech specialties – and because companies can’t always find enough American workers with the skills they need.

The new order would direct U.S. agencies to propose rules to prevent immigration fraud and abuse in the program. They also would be asked to offer changes so that H-1B visas are awarded to the most-skilled or highest-paid applicants.

The number of requests for H-1B visas declined this year by about 15 percent, or roughly 37,000 applications, but the total was still nearly 200,000, far more than the 85,000 limit.

Tuesday’s order also seeks to strengthen requirements that American-made products be used in certain federal construction projects, as well as in various grant-funded transportation projects.

The commerce secretary is to review how to close loopholes in existing rules and provide recommendations to the president within 220 days. The order also asks agencies to assess the use of waivers.

Facebook killer takes own life as police close in

By MIKE HOUSEHOLDER and MARK GILLISPIE The Associated Press

ERIE, Pa. – The man who randomly gunned down a Cleveland retiree and posted video of the crime on Facebook killed himself Tuesday during a police chase in Pennsylvania that began when a McDonald’s drive-thru attendant recognized him.

It marked a violent end to the nearly 48-hour multistate manhunt for Steve Stephens, whose case brought another round of criticism down on Facebook over how responsibly it polices objectionable material posted by users.

Acting on a tip from the McDonald’s, state troopers spotted Stephens leaving the restaurant in Erie and went after him, bumping his car to try to get it to stop, authorities said. He shot himself in the head after the car spun and came to a stop, police said.

“This started with one tragedy and ended with another person taking their own life,” Cleveland Police Chief Calvin Williams said. “We would have liked to have brought Steve in peacefully and really talked to him about why this happened.”

Stephens, a 37-year-old job counselor who worked with young people, was

Cleveland Police Chief Calvin Williams answers questions during a news conference Tuesday in Cleveland. Williams said Steve Stephens, who randomly killed a Cleveland retiree and posted video of the crime on Facebook, shot himself to death in his car Tuesday during a police chase in Pennsylvania, ending a multistate manhunt less than 48 hours after it began. wanted on murder charges in the killing of Robert Godwin Sr., 74, a former foundry worker and father of 10 who was picking up aluminum cans on Sunday when he was shot.

The chilling video was on Facebook for three hours before it was taken

down. It was just the latest instance of crime footage being shared on social media.

Police would not speculate on what triggered the killing, but in the video and other footage he posted, Stephens talked about having trouble with his

girlfriend and losing everything he had to gambling. He said he “just snapped.”

One of Godwin’s daughters, Debbie Godwin, said she wished Stephens had been captured. “I’m not happy he’s dead at all, not at all. If you did it, you have to face your crime,” she said.

The break in the case came when police received a tip that Stephens was at the McDonald’s in Erie, in far western Pennsylvania about 100 miles east of Cleveland, where he ordered a 20-piece Chicken McNuggets and fries.

The drive-thru attendant thought she recognized Stephens and called state police, restaurant owner Thomas DuCharme Jr. told the Erie TimesNews. State Police Maj. William Teper Jr. would say only that the tip came from a “concerned citizen.”

The McDonald’s employees tried to “buy some time for the cops” by telling Stephens his fries were delayed, but he said he had no time to wait and drove off, DuCharme said.

Police picked up the trail in a chase that lasted 2 miles before Stephens took his own life, authorities said.

Gail Wheeler, of Erie, said she was stopped at a light at the McDonald’s when Stephens came “whipping out” of the parking lot, nearly hitting her. She said state troopers weren’t far behind.

REPLACEMENT LENS OPTIONS Cataract Surgery Patients have several options for replacement lenses.

The most popular choice is the “fixed-focus monofocal lens,” which provides good distance correction although reading glasses will still be needed for up-close work. In some cases, patients may opt to have one eye fitted with a lens that provides near vision while the other eye (usually the dominant eye) gets a lens that provides for far vision. This combination of lenses, called “monovision,” relies on the brain’s ability to sort between two images so that near tasks can be performed without the need for reading glasses. A new lens, the “accommodating monofocal lens,” can shift from near to far vision in response to the eyes’ ciliary muscles.

P.S. Two replacement lens options for cataract surgery patients include “toric lenses,” designed for people with astigmatism, and “multifocal lenses,” which are similar to bifocal or progressive lenses used in eyeglasses.

At CRYSTAL LAKE OPHTHALMOLOGY, we perform laser-assisted cataract surgery. This surgery automates several steps of traditional cataract surgery, such as performing corneal incisions, opening the capsule and softening and breaking up the cataract. We perform comprehensive eye exams that include a visual acuity test, pupil dilation, and careful examination of your retina. To schedule an exam, please call 815-455-4222.

The CEO of United Airlines said no one will be fired over the dragging of a man off a plane – including himself.

CEO Oscar Munoz said Tuesday that he takes full responsibility “for making this right,” and he promised more details later this month after United finishes a review of its policies on overbooked flights.

Company executives said it’s too soon to know whether the incident is hurting ticket sales.

United has been pummeled on social media – #BoycottUnited is a popular hashtag – and late-night television.

Through Tuesday, its shares have fallen 4.4 percent since Flight 3411, wiping out nearly $1 billion in market value, although some other airline stocks also declined in the same period.

After the market closed Monday, United reported a $96 million first-quarter profit, down 69 percent from a year earlier largely because of higher costs for fuel, labor and maintenance. The revenue picture was looking better – evidence was growing that after two years of falling average fares, United will be able to push prices higher this year.

On a conference call to discuss those results, Munoz started by apologizing

Dao, calling him “disruptive and belligerent.” On Tuesday, he was asked if the company ever considered firing anyone, including management.

“I’m sure there was lots of conjecture about me personally,” Munoz said. He noted that the board of United Continental Holdings Inc. has supported him.

“It was a system failure across various areas,” Munoz continued. “There was never a consideration for firing an employee.”

Dao’s lawyers have taken steps that foreshadow a lawsuit against the airline and the city of Chicago, which operates O’Hare Airport.

United announced two rule changes last week, including saying that it will no longer call police to remove passengers from overbooked planes. It is not clear whether United oversold Flight 3411, but the flight became overbooked when four Republic Airline employees showed up after passengers had boarded and demanded seats so they could commute to their next assignment, a United Express flight the next morning.

Some politicians and consumer advocates have called for a ban on overselling flights. Munoz declined to address that or other possible changes until the airline finishes a review by April 30.

OUR VIEW

Thoughtful work from committee The collapse of the housing market had broad impact across the nation and in McHenry County, and while housing has slowly been recovering the reverberations of that 2008 collapse still are evident in many places including the public school system.

A decade ago, more rooftops were coming, not just through some enrollment projection sophistry, but actual developments had been approved and in some cases were underway when the market came to a screeching halt.

One of McHenry County’s most visible evidence of the aftermath is on display east of Dean Street and west of Route 47 where the still-shiny complex that contains Creekside Middle School and Prairiewood Elementary school can be seen across vast fields on the edge of the Apple Creek housing development – the expected site in 2007 of about 1,100 units.

Fast-forward to 2017, and Woodstock School District 200, along with some other McHenry County school districts and their taxpayers, are stuck with too much school building space and not enough children to fill desks.

The problem is not unique to McHenry County; formerly booming Will County faced similar issues that school districts there also have wrestled with.

In the case of School District 200, a task force was formed made up of staff, parents and other stakeholders to study feasible solutions that could offer some relief to taxpayers. It would make recommendations, but the ultimate decision will rest with the school board.

A great deal was put on the table, including combining Woodstock North and Woodstock high schools, which isn’t as easy as it sounds since both schools are operating at more than half capacity. The closure of another elementary school and one of the district’s two middle schools also was discussed. The community was surveyed; input was sought.

The Facilities Review Committee’s recommendations were released early this month, and while some might argue that it didn’t go far enough, some real cost-saving recommendations were made, including closing Dean Street Elementary School, selling property that now houses district administrative offices and ending a lease for more administrative space.

If the Woodstock School District 200 Board goes ahead with the recommendations when it is expected to take a vote in May, the district could see a few million dollars in savings over the next 10 years.

Any relief that taxpayers can get without sacrificing the quality of education is worth doing. Schools get more than half of your property taxes because of the way Illinois funds education. We hope all school districts are conducting some form of internal examination each year to look for any potential savings.

Whether more could be done to find savings in District 200 now is in the hands of the school board, but we applaud the real efforts undertaken by the Facilities Review Committee and urge the board to give it serious consideration with taxpayers and district students in mind.

Community journalism worth big prize He didn’t mince words, and those words have landed the editor at a small Iowa newspaper the prestigious Pulitzer Prize, putting him in the company of winners from the Chicago Tribune, The Washington Post and The New York Times.

Art Cullen, the winning editorial writer from the Storm Lake Times, caught the notice of many media and their followers this week for being the little guy who made the big time. His prize was tied to opinion pieces he wrote for the 3,000-circulation newspaper that helped unveil the corporate donors behind a lawsuit over nitrate pollution in local rivers. The topic is a familiar one in farming country, and taking on big ag as Cullen did is not for the faint of heart.

Aside from prompting journalists who work at small newspapers to stand up taller, Cullen’s award stresses the crucial importance of local journalism. His editorial writing was based on impressive expertise that came from lots of solid reporting.

It is the public that suffers if reporters aren’t poring over data, attending meetings, and combing through court documents. Not knowing what’s going on in your community because no one is paying attention or bothering to dig below the surface hurts society in general on a number of levels, including economic.

Years ago when Blue Earth County was filling its landfill at an alarming rate because its low fees attracted haulers from elsewhere, this newspaper covered the issue and the practice stopped. When the county fell behind on updating its property assessments and expensive houses weren’t on the tax roll, this newspaper wrote about it and the problem received attention.

When the project to improve Highway 14 from North Mankato to Nicollet was passed over repeatedly because government officials argued it wasn’t a high priority, this newspaper challenged those assumptions and proved the stretch was one of the most dangerous highways in the state. The report drew notice and legislators approved the Corridors of Commerce program; the $40 million project from North Mankato to Nicollet received corridor program funding.

Community newspapers the size of Storm Lake’s or Mankato’s don’t have a corps of investigative reporters who can spend a year on one topic. But they know their communities and the serious publications, no matter what their size, aren’t afraid to shed light on the good, the bad and the ugly.

SPRINGFIELD – Years ago, I was out on a first date with a woman when my Labrador retriever urinated all over the woman’s blouse.

I stood there stunned, looking at the wet spot dripping down her side, and I thought: “There goes any chance of a second date.”

Instead the woman, a veterinarian, gave me a grin and said, “Don’t worry about it, it’s the third time it’s happened to me this week.”

Call me a hopeless romantic, but I knew at that moment, this was the woman I would marry. She had grace under pressure.

For example, a twice-divorced college buddy told me: “Never hold anything back. Always tell her exactly what you are thinking. And when she does something you don’t like, make sure she knows it.”

On the other hand, a relative gave me this sage bit of wisdom: “Marriage is something you should go into with your eyes wide open and through with them half shut.”

When I ran this adage by my father, who ultimately was married to my mother for 58 years, he would just smile.

His folks were married 74 years,

and my mother’s parents’ marriage lasted until the eve of their 50th anniversary, when a bad heart felled my grandfather.

They set good examples.

I only hope my wife, Joan, and I can provide an even better example for our three daughters.

If they ever ask the secret to a happy marriage I’ll say this: love, forgive and never give up.

Happy anniversary, dear.

Small-business support needed

To the Editor: As a small-business owner, I am deeply disappointed that the president’s new budget proposal includes cuts to the Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFI) Fund and a 5 percent cut for the Small Business Administration (SBA). Under this plan, the SBA would see a $12 million reduction in available grants for programs that provide education, resources and growth opportunities for small businesses like mine.

This proposal will lead to cuts to local groups and SBA offices that are providing vital resources to small-business owners. Additionally, the cuts to the CDFI fund will make it harder for small businesses, particularly those in disad-

vantaged communities, to get access to credit when they need it. I know that without funding for programs such as Sunshine Enterprises here in Chicago and the SBA, my small business wouldn’t be nearly as successful as it is today.

Small businesses are the backbone of the nation’s economy, and they need access to resources that will help them succeed. That’s why it’s crucial for lawmakers to support the SBA and the CDFI fund.

Enjoyed Everyday Heroes

To the Editor: I’d share my opinion of your Everyday Heroes insert from 2/26/17. I really enjoyed reading about these folks from my community. It was also great that they opened up their lives for us to have a glimpse into it. It unlocks our lives and minds to important issues that go beyond us. I encourage you to have more of these types of inserts included with the paper.

Overcoming opioids

Pharmaceutical companies struggle in quest for less addictive drugs

By MARILYNN MARCHIONE

run hundreds of pain studies and consults for Pfizer and many other companies. “You rarely get people to feel that good” as many of them did on the nerve growth factor drugs, he said.

A drug with that much early promise is unusual, said Ken Verburg, who has led Pfizer’s pain research for several decades.

“When you do see one, you fight hard to try to bring one to the market,” he said.

An independent review ultimately tied just a few serious joint problems to tanezumab and the suspension on testing was lifted in August 2012. But a new issue – nervous system effects in some animal studies – prompted a second hold later that year, and that wasn’t lifted until 2015.

Now Eli Lilly & Co. has joined Pfizer in testing tanezumab in late-stage studies with 7,000 patients. Results are expected late next year – about 17 years after the drug’s conception.

The Associated Press

Tummy tucks really hurt. Doctors carve from hip to hip, slicing off skin, tightening muscles, tugging at innards.

Patients often need strong painkillers for days or even weeks, but Mary Hernandez went home on just over-thecounter ibuprofen.

The reason may be the yellowish goo smeared on her 18-inch wound as she lay on the operating table. The Houston woman was helping test a novel medicine aimed at avoiding opioids, potent pain relievers fueling an epidemic of overuse and addiction.

Vicodin, OxyContin and similar drugs widely are used for bad backs, severe arthritis, damaged nerves and other woes. They work powerfully in brain areas that control pleasure and pain, but the body adapts to them quickly, so people need higher and higher doses to get relief.

This growing dependence on opioids has mushroomed into a national health crisis, ripping apart communities and straining police and health departments. Every day, an overdose of prescription opioids or heroin kills 91 people, and legions more are brought back from the brink of death. With about 2 million Americans hooked on these pills, evidence is growing that they’re not as good a choice for treating chronic pain as once thought.

Drug companies are working on alternatives, but have had little success.

Twenty or so years ago, they invested heavily and “failed miserably,” said Dr. Nora Volkow, director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse.

Pain is a pain to research. Some people bear more than others, and success can’t be measured as objectively as it can be with medicines that shrink a tumor or clear an infection. Some new pain drugs that worked well were doomed by side effects – Vioxx, for instance, helped arthritis but hurt hearts.

Some fresh approaches are giving hope: • “Bespoke” drugs, as Volkow calls them. These target specific pathways and types of pain rather than acting broadly in the brain. One is Enbrel, which treats a key feature of rheumatoid arthritis and, in the process, eases pain.

• Drugs to prevent the need for opi-

Heron Therapeutics Inc. in 2014. oids. One that Hernandez was helping test numbs a wound for a few days and curbs inflammation. If people don’t have big pain after surgery, their nerves don’t go on high alert and there’s less chance of developing chronic pain that might require opioids.

• Funky new sources for medicines.

In testing: Drugs from silk, hot chili peppers and the venom of snakes, snails and other critters.

• Novel uses for existing drugs. Some seizure and depression medicines, for example, can help some types of pain.

The biggest need, however, is for completely new medicines that can be used by lots of people for lots of problems. These also pose the most risk – for companies and patients alike.

One drug’s bumpy road

In the early 2000s, a small biotech company had a big idea: blocking nerve growth factor, a protein made in response to pain. The company’s drug, now called tanezumab (tah-NAZE-uhmab), works on outlying nerves, helping to keep pain signals from muscles, skin and organs from reaching the spinal

cord and brain – good for treating arthritis and bad backs.

Pfizer Inc. bought the firm in 2006 and expanded testing. But in 2010, some people on tanezumab and similar drugs being tested by rivals needed joint replacements. Besides dulling pain, nerve growth factor may affect joint repair and regeneration, so a possible safety issue needed full investigation in a medicine that would be the first of its type ever sold, said one independent expert, Dr. Jianguo Cheng, a Cleveland Clinic pain specialist and science chief for the American Academy of Pain Medicine.

Regulators put some of the studies on hold. Suddenly, some people who had been doing well on tanezumab lost access to it. Phyllis Leis in Waterfall, a small town in south-central Pennsylvania, was one.

“I was so angry,” she said. “That was like a miracle drug. It really was.

Unless you have arthritis in your knees and have trouble walking, you’ll never understand how much relief and what a godsend it was.”

Her doctor, Alan Kivitz of Altoona Center for Clinical Research, has helped

is testing a novel, long-acting version of two drugs – the anesthetic bupivacaine and the anti-inflammatory meloxicam – for notoriously painful operations such as tummy tucks, bunion removal and hernia repair.

Company studies suggest it can numb wounds for about three days and cut patients’ need for opioids by 30 to 50 percent. There’s a good chance of preventing brain responses that lead to chronic pain if patients can get through that “initially very rough period,” said Dr. Harold Minkowitz, a Houston anesthesiologist who consults for Heron and treated Hernandez in the tummy tuck study.

Hernandez was part of an experiment testing the drug versus a placebo and doesn’t know whether she got the drug or a dummy medicine. But she hurt less than she expected to and never filled a prescription for pain pills.

“The goal would be to have half or more of patients not requiring an opiate after they go home,” said Heron’s chief executive, Barry Quart. “You have far fewer opiates going out into society, far fewer opiates sitting in medicine cabinets that make their way to a high school.”

HEALTH BRIEFS

immune disorder rheumatoid arthritis, the drugmaker’s second drug development setback since November.

The Food and Drug Administration said in a letter to the company it needed more information about the drug’s safety and the best doses, Lilly said Friday in a statement.

Lilly said it disagrees with the FDA’s conclusions but will work with the agency on a plan to eventually get the drug, baracitinib, approved for U.S. patients.

In November, Lilly’s experimental medicine solanezumab flopped in a closely watched test in patients with mild Alzheimer’s disease, after having already failed in testing in patients with more advanced Alzheimer’s.

The arthritis drug, which has the proposed brand name Olumiant and was approved for use in Europe in February, was expected to be a big seller in part because most other new rheumatoid arthritis drugs are injected, making them less appealing for patients.

Christi Shaw, president of the Lilly division that developed the drug, said the company remains confident in the drug’s ability to safely treat moderate and severe rheumatoid arthritis.

4 things you should know about Tax Day

By STEPHEN OHLEMACHER

101 million. Both numbers are down about 3.5 percent from last year.

The Associated Press

PEOPLE ILLEGALLY IN U.S. PAY TAXES

WASHINGTON – Tuesday was Tax Day, that dreaded day when millions of procrastinators rush to fulfill their civic duty by filing state and federal tax returns.

But for most, it’s not that bad. Sure, the forms are complicated and, yes, there is math. But tax season also generates about $300 billion in refunds, a significant boost to the U.S. economy.

Four things to know about Tax Day:

MOST GET REFUNDS

The IRS so far has processed 101 million tax returns from individuals and about 80 percent have qualified for refunds. The average refund is $2,851, an increase of $53 over last year.

April 18 was Tax Day, that dreaded day when millions of procrastinators rush to fulfill their civic duty by filing state and federal tax returns. six-month extensions.

CHANCES OF GETTING AUDITED ARE SLIM

The number of people audited by the IRS in 2016 dropped for the sixth straight year, to just over 1 million.

That’s less than 1 percent of filers.

The last time so few people were audited was 2004. Since then, the U.S. has added about 30 million people.

The IRS blames budget cuts as money for the agency shrank from $12.2 billion in 2010 to $11.2 billion last year.

But a new law required the IRS to delay tax refunds for people claiming these RETURNS DOWN, REFUNDS DELAYED Tax season got off to a slow start be- credits until Feb. 15.

The delay was designed to give the cause the IRS delayed refunds for more than 40 million low-income families agency more time to screen the returns as part of the agency’s efforts to fight for fraud. Throughout the tax filing season, the number of tax returns proidentity theft.

There is a common myth that people in the U.S. illegally don’t pay taxes. But data from both the IRS and the Social Security Administration says otherwise.

Yes, some work in the underground economy. But in 2015, the Social Security Administration estimated that immigrants who are in the U.S. illegally paid $100 billion in Social Security payroll taxes over the previous decade.

They paid the taxes even though few will ever be able to collect benefits.

How does Social Security know when it receives taxes from immigrants who are in the U.S. illegally?

One way is by tracking reported wages in which the Social Security number does not match the name the agency has on file.

Some of these are clerical errors or unreported name changes. But the agency estimates that a majority of the wages come from immigrants who have made-up Social Security numbers or used someone else’s.

Also, the IRS has issued more than 20 million Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers (ITINs) to foreigners.

The ITINs are supposed to be used by foreigners who have some form of U.S. income, and therefore owe U.S. taxes. However, the tax agency believes that many of them are used by people who are working in the U.S. illegally.

KEVIN SPACEY TO HOST THE TONY AWARDS SHOW

THINGS

WORTH TALKIN’ ABOUT WEDNESDAY, APRIL 19, 2017

NEW YORK– Kevin Spacey has been picked to host this year’s Tony Awards, putting the award-winning star of “House of Cards” in the unenviable position of steering a telecast surely facing a post-”Hamilton” hangover.

The telecast on June 11 will originate from the 6,000seat Radio City Music Hall, and producers are sure to be keeping their fingers crossed that they avoid any technical or human snafus that have marred previous awards shows this year, including the wrong winner announced at the Oscars and sound issues at the Grammys.

Poet Patricia Spears Jones wins $50,000 prize

This image released by the Tribeca Film Festival shows Duane Ehmer in a scene from “No Nam’s Land,” a film that will be shown at the Tribeca Film Festival.

For Tribeca film fest, a new political moment to reconcile NEW YORK – Political currents have always flowed through the Tribeca Film Festival, founded in the wake of the Sept. 11 attacks. But this year, the festival has a slightly pugnacious edge to counter the policies of its midtown neighbor, President Donald Trump. Tribeca co-founder Robert De Niro, after all, has repeatedly said he’d like to punch Trump in the face.

Trump’s 100th day in office will fall during the New York festival, which opens Wednesday with a Clive Davis documentary, “Soundtrack of Our Lives,” a star-studded concert tribute to the legendary music producer. Tribeca , now in its 16th year, is the first big film festival to be programmed and substantially oriented in the political climate since last November’s election.

And Tribeca organizers acknowledge it has shaped this year’s festival all the way down to its slogan: “See yourself in others.” It recently trotted out an accompanying video in which New Yorkers walk the streets with mirrored cubes for heads: an intended message of empathy, it said, for “a very divisive year.”

“We programmed the festival this year the way the current administration did their budget,” Jane Rosenthal, co-founder of the festival, said tongue in cheek. “That said, we’re also about entertaining – which this administration has also done for us.”

Tribeca, which runs for 12 days, is a particularly eclectic festival that encompasses celebrity talks (Springsteen and Hanks!), TV premieres (this year Hulu’s anticipated “The Handmaid’s Tale” debuts there), an ever-expanding virtual reality component and several movie anniversary celebrations. This year, parts one and two of “The Godfather” will play at Radio City Music Hall, with the casts in attendance.

NEW YORK – A Brooklyn-based poet has won a $50,000 prize given for “exceptional talent” that merits greater recognition.

Patricia Spears Jones is this year’s recipient of the Jackson Poetry Prize, Poets & Writers said Tuesday. Judges praised Jones, whose previous honors include a Pushcart Prize, for her “sophisticated and moving” work.

“Patricia Spears Jones’ poems are made of fever, bones, and breath. The fever of eros, the bones of family and friends, and the breath of everyday existence. She is an accessible poet, but never boring,” the citation reads. “More of us should know who she is, and even more should read her.”

Among her books are “Painkiller,” “Femme du Monde” and, most recently, “A Lucent Fire: New and Selected Poems.”

Jones is also a playwright, contributor to BOMB magazine and a writing teacher who has led workshops at Cave Canem and Poets House and is on the faculty of Bloomfield College.

Chicago’s film series returns with 14-feature lineup CHICAGO – Chicago’s Millennium Park Summer Film Series will return this year with longtime favorites such as “Caddyshack” and award-winning new hits including “La La Land.”

The 14-feauture lineup kicks off June 13 with the 1980s classic “The Blues Brothers” and wraps up Sept. 5 with “Wayne’s World.” The list also includes Millennium Park’s first Spanish-language film with the July 11 presentation of “El Norte.”

A special daytime showing of the 1937 classic “Snow White” is scheduled for Aug. 24 at 10 a.m. All other films will start Tuesdays at 6:30 p.m.

Sarah Michelle Gellar still has skills with a skewer

NEW YORK – As a vampire slayer, Sarah Michelle Gellar learned the value of an old-fashioned wooden stake. As a mom of two children, she’s still pretty handy with a good stick – only this time it’s in the kitchen.

Gellar skewers all kinds of things in her new cookbook, “Stirring Up Fun with Food,” making appetizing-looking chicken fingers, fondues, fruit slices, sliders, cake pops and even a Caesar salad.

The former star of “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” also embraces muffin tins, cookie cutters, jars and some nifty knife work – all part of her effort to get kids to eat their veggies and try new flavors.

“We eat with our eyes first, and a lot of decisions are made just by looking at something,” she said. “A child, an adult, anyone, looks at asparagus and says, ‘I don’t want to eat that. I’m going to go and eat a cupcake.’ So how do you make things more visibly appealing?”

HOROSCOPE

By EUGENIA LAST

Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – The need to make impulsive decisions or changes could lead you to a learning experience.

Observing and following the example of someone you look up to will help you avoid making a mistake that could cost you your reputation or position. Focus on fitness and health.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – If you want to make a change, look inward. Self-improvement will bring the highest returns and keep you out of trouble. Use common sense and set realistic personal goals.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Try something different. Let your creative imagination take control and help you discover attributes you didn’t

know you had. Observation will help you ward off unpredictable individuals and situations.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Offer only what you can and refuse to give in to someone trying to coerce you into helping or paying for things that aren’t your responsibility. Focus on personal improvements.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Joint ventures are probably best avoided. Stay away from anyone promising you the world with little to back his or her words. A loss is likely if you mix money and emotions.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Business partnerships or working alongside a colleague who doesn’t agree with you will be difficult if you don’t set guidelines and make suggestions that promote compromise on both sides.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Emotional matters will escalate if you aren’t careful what you say or how you treat someone you deal with daily.

Show greater sensitivity toward your peers, friends and family.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Sensitive issues will be difficult to broach. Think carefully before you say something that may offend someone. Less is more when it comes to emotional matters. Offer love, not discord.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – An emotional situation is best handled cautiously. Saying the wrong thing will hurt your reputation, status or chance to get ahead. Listen rather than react.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Look for new opportunities at networking functions or by reconnecting with former co-workers. A change

will do you good. Start with personal improvements.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Emotional matters will escalate if you take on someone who doesn’t share your beliefs or opinions.

Having an open mind is good, but don’t give in to manipulative tactics.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Emotions will spring up out of the blue and could result in a costly error if you aren’t careful. Stay focused on what is doable, not on the impossible. Be smart and gather information.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Personal partnerships should be handled with care. Go out of your way to accommodate someone in need or a cause you want to help. Your dedicated service will help you advance.

34 Does Vitamin D prevent respiratory infections?

Dear Doctor: I’m hearing that vitamin D can reduce the risk of colds and flu – and that more foods should be fortified with it.

What’s the evidence for that?

Dear Reader: As a doctor, I’m skeptical about such a broad claim. As I wrote in a previous column, vitamin D is not so much a vitamin as a hormone within the body. It’s produced by the body, and many foods are rich in the substance. If your vitamin D levels are normal, ingesting more vitamin D wouldn’t seem to help prevent the common cold.

That’s not to say such thinking is new.

The famed English general practitioner Robert Edgar Hope-Simpson, noting the influenza virus occurred predominately in the winter, surmised that lack of exposure to the sun may make people more susceptible to influenza. He also noted that in tropical climates, influenza occurs more often during the rainy season when there is a decrease in exposure to the sun. To produce vitamin D, the human body needs sun exposure, so the purported connection between vitamin D and colds seems to have started with that correlation. Further, a deficiency of vitamin D can lead to decreased white blood cell function, impeding the body’s ability to fight infection. Additional vitamin D stimulates the production of antimicrobial peptides.

As for scientific research on the topic, a 2012 study of 30 patients with chronic lung disease and very low levels of vitamin D (less than 10 ng/ml) showed a 43 percent reduction in exacerbations of the disease when they were given 100,000 units of vitamin D monthly (average 3,200 units a day) for one year.

Commonly, these exacerbations are related to infection. A 2015 study showed similar findings of a 43 percent reduction in moderate to severe exacerbations among lung disease patients with vitamin D levels below 20 ng/ml.

However, vitamin D supplementation did not change the upper respiratory infection rate. Also, in both studies, vitamin D supple-

ASK THE DOCTORS Robert Ashley mentation had no effect on people with normal vitamin D levels, i.e., greater than 20 ng/ml.

In another 2012 study, patients with normal vitamin D levels were randomized to receive 100,000 units of vitamin D or a placebo monthly for 18 months. The authors concluded there was no difference in the rates, or the severity, of upper respiratory infections between those who took vitamin D and those who took a placebo. The latest study, to which I believe you are referring, was a combined analysis of 25 studies from around the world, including Afghanistan and Mongolia. This analysis linked vitamin D supplementation to a 12 percent reduction in the number of people who developed at least one respiratory infection.

However, in further analyzing the data, the authors found most of the benefit for vitamin D supplementation was seen in those with levels less than 10 ng/dl, which is very low. The authors did not find any statistical benefit in vitamin D supplementation among people with levels greater than 10 ng/ml. The authors also found daily or weekly intake of vitamin D had a greater benefit than larger doses given monthly.

In summary, vitamin D does seem to have benefits in decreasing colds and flu in those who have exceedingly low levels of vitamin D – numbers not seen in the majority of the population. Further, patients with chronic illnesses, elderly people and residents with long, cloudy winters may find vitamin D supplementation can decrease the frequency of upper respiratory infections.

Dear Abby:

DEAR ABBY My husband and I have been Jeanne into swinging Phillips for 20 years.

Everything has always been “no strings attached.” I was with one man several times before he married his current wife. She’s very religious, not into swinging and doesn’t know he is.

I’m so attracted to “Nick” that I dream about him and have met him outside our marriages. I know it’s wrong, but I can’t keep him out of my mind. My husband doesn’t know, and I know it would hurt him deeply. Should I tell Nick, or quit writing him on our swinging site? – Despair Down South Dear Despair: And what have you to gain by revealing your feelings? If you think it would make Nick leave his wife, forget it. Because you know it would hurt your husband – although I’m having trouble understanding why, because you’re swingers – I recommend you refrain from causing him pain.

Dear Abby: My family has been put in a difficult position. Last year, a woman my brother had a one-night-stand with became pregnant.

I have heard from more than one person she’s known as the town tramp or “crazy.”

We’re sure she planned it because he makes a good living and can support the child financially, and she insisted on keeping the baby. My brother, God bless him, is doing what’s necessary, although having a child with a woman he has come to despise weighs heavily on him.

How should we, his family, handle this? At this point, I have no interest in laying eyes on her or her baby, blood kin or not. I feel no affinity for the child because I know my brother didn’t want it. Maybe in time, I could find a way to know this child, but for now my anger prevents it. – Livid Sister In Texas Dear Livid: None of this is the fault of the baby. No one forced your brother to sleep with the “town tramp.” I respect him for living up to his responsibilities to his child.

You have nothing to lose by being kind to your nephew/niece and his/her mother.

Frankly, it appears she could use befriending, and in the years ahead that baby may need a stabilizing female influence.

Dear Abby: My new father-in-law always greets me with a hug and a kiss on the mouth.

I come from a family who doesn’t kiss on the lips, and I find it extremely awkward. I’m not sure how to handle the situation. I don’t want to bring it up to him because I’m afraid it would be offensive. I have mentioned it to my husband, who kind of shrugged it off, saying his father is “old school.” I have started turning my head when we greet so he hits my cheek instead of my mouth. Please advise me on how to deal with this. – Turning A Cheek In Michigan Dear Turning: I think you’re handling the situation well. If your father-in-law asks why you’re turning your head, all you have to do is smile and say you save kisses on the mouth for your husband.

What to watch NL: Milwaukee at Cubs, 1:20 p.m., WGN, AM-670 The Brewers and Cubs wrap up their three-game series at Wrigley Field with Milwaukee’s Tommy Milone (1-0) facing the Cubs’ Kyle Hendricks (1-1).

RICHMOND – As Johnsburg girls soccer coach Rob Eastland drove toward spring break in Florida last month, he couldn’t stop thinking about his team’s loss to conference rival Richmond-Burton the previous week. He mulled what went wrong for hours, unable to turn off the coaching part of his brain.

After that 3-1 loss March 23, his team was 0-3 and had scored just one goal heading into spring break.

After returning from the break, the Skyhawks won their next four games, scoring multiple goals in each, leading up to a rematch with the Rockets on Tuesday at R-B. With things seemingly moving in the right direction ahead of Tuesday’s match, Eastland challenged his team to prove that the first result was an outlier.

“What I actually did, I totally removed all tactics, like ‘This is the formation, there’s no tactics today, I just want you to go toe-to-toe and prove to yourself what you can do,’ ” Eastland said. “I think the girls responded really well to that. It was all about individual matchups around the field and ‘Hey go take your game at theirs and see who’s better.’ ...

“This was one of those games where you go ‘Roll your sleeves up and get a result.’ They did good.”

Johnsburg scored three times in the second half to beat Richmond-Burton, 3-0, in a Kishwaukee River Conference match at Richmond-Burton. Taylor Piggott scored twice and Madelyn Peterson added the other for the Skyhawks (5-3, 5-2 KRC) who have now won five straight since that first loss to the Rockets.

“It just fired us up and we wanted to get our revenge,” Piggott said of the last meeting with R-B. “It was one of our first games before spring break and we were just getting to know how to work with each other,” she said. “I think now we’re getting better and better together.”

After playing into the wind for a scoreless first half, Johnsburg broke the deadlock seven minutes into the second half. Piggott netted the game-winner with a well-placed shot from the top of the box into the bot-

A total of three yellow cards were issued in the game. sik, who knocked it in to even things up, 1-1.

The game wasn’t tied for long.

Sengstock was fouled in the D-C box four minutes later, leading to a Gators penalty kick. Jess Schoenfeldt took the PK and knocked it into the lower left corner of the net to put South up, 2-1.

“Those really don’t make me ner-

vous anymore,” the senior midfielder said of the penalty kick. “They used to. I’m getting more confident with it as I go.”

The Gators (7-1-1, 1-0-0 FVC) piled on another goal less than two minutes later. Taylor Bittenbender scored from the left side of the box, with an assist from Abby Wiegand.

“We were a little shell-shocked in the beginning,” D-C coach Sebastian Falinski said. “Their physicality gave us issues. Their ability with the ball in the air gave us problems. Then their speed up top and their ability to get a shot off early, I think that killed us on the first goal.”

The frantic scoring slowed down, but the Gators weren’t done.

Schoenfeldt scored again less than two minutes before halftime. Ross collected the second of her two assists.

“I know usually where her balls go,” said Schoenfeldt, who also plays club ball with Ross. “I was trying to get in there and find a pocket of space, and I got a touch around and just put it away.”

Ross had the ball at her feet often

and helped initiate the Gators’ attack.

“They were really tight in the midfield,” Ross said of D-C. “It left the outsides wide open. Right when I see the space, I just attack. We kept getting through balls and crosses in.”

South added one more goal about a minute into the second half. Schoenfeldt kicked a rocket of a shot that deflected off D-C goalkeeper Diana Santillan-Ceja’s hands.

Schoenfeldt’s attempt on the rebound found sophomore Abby Wiegand, who pounded the ball into the back of the net.

The 5-1 lead held the rest of the game. The Chargers put pressure in the second half, but never capitalized with a goal.

Santillan-Ceja made eight saves.

South goalkeeper Annika Sevcik made six saves.

“The first (goal) wasn’t really her fault,” Ross said of Sevcik. “We didn’t get a good corner.”

Falinski said the Chargers hadn’t faced a team all season with as many offensive threats as the Gators. For D-C, it was the first loss in conference play.

finishing from close range.

“What she’s done better and better throughout the season is she’s raised the quality of her game in the sense of, she was very much just a turn-and-hit player and now she’s cutting inside, she’s going outside, she’s putting doubt in players’ minds,” Eastland said. “I don’t think there’s a player around right now that would like to mark her. Whether big school, small school, she’s tough to handle out on that field.”

Richmond-Burton (6-5-1, 5-2) had a pair of second-half chances to get back into the match, but Anna Blaney had a shot saved by Johnsburg goalkeeper Jessica Strzelczyk, and then Gabby Ross shot high on another promising attack.

“We couldn’t connect to save our life and it really was discouraging,” Rockets coach Casey DeCaluwe said. “I think we saw a lot of heads go down after that first goal and at that point, against the wind, we didn’t think we could get a goal. We had two opportunities and we didn’t finish them and couldn’t come back.”

Strzelczyk finished with four saves in the shutout, while Restis made six in the loss.

“In the second half, I think we were just under a lot of pressure and just did not step up to the pressure,” DeCaluwe said. “They wanted to win more than we did and it showed in their play, it showed on 50-50s, we didn’t have the heart or desire to win balls and Johnsburg did.”

CARPENTERSVILLE — There was no time for a feeling-out process between Crystal Lake South and Dundee-Crown girls soccer on Tuesday. Both teams came out firing early.

Gators forward Courtney Sengstock scored less than two minutes into the game, with an assist from defender Jenna Ross.

It was the first of four goals for both teams combined in the game’s first 12 minutes.

The Gators found the net more often and went on to beat the Chargers, 5-1.

“I was really happy with the way we came out early,” South coach Jay Mueller said. “We scored in the first two minutes of each half, which is a great way to get started.”

Dundee-Crown (5-6-0, 2-1-0 Fox Valley Conference) answered the game’s first goal with a score of its own on a corner kick four minutes after Sengstock’s goal. Rylee Quillen’s corner kick found the head of Braylin Men-

CRYSTAL LAKE – The McHenry Nick Finley baseball team finally got the Crystal McHenry, jr., 2B Lake South monkey off its back.

eager to get out there and get a second shot at beating them. I pitched six innings the first time I faced South and we got shut out by a run, but I felt like I made a few mistakes and walked a few too many guys that game. It feels great to finally beat them.”

After falling behind 2-0 early, the Warriors’ bats sprung to life midway through the game.

Junior Nick Finley (3 for 4, three RBIs) lofted a solo home run to left leading off the top of the fourth, his first of the year. He then came through with a two-out, two-RBI single in the fifth to break a 2-2 tie, giving McHenry (11-3, 6-3) the lead for good.

Finley started the season hitting in the No. 6 and 7 spots in the lineup, Warriors coach Brian Rockweiler said, but batted third Tuesday.

“Everyone was probably wondering what I was thinking moving a kid who was struggling up so far in the order,” Rockweiler said. “But I knew it was only a matter of time before Nick started showing how talented he is with the bat. That’s been our Achilles’ heel this spring. We haven’t had sustained success on offense, so we’re hoping today was another sign

we’re turning a corner.”

“To have coach put that much faith in me when I was struggling truly gave me confidence at the plate,” Finley said. “That sort of thing can do wonders for a player when his manager believes in him.”

The Gators got a solid outing and a no-decision from junior lefty starter Riley Tannhauser, who went four innings and allowed two runs (one earned) before being replaced by coach Brian Bogda in the fifth. South committed two of its three errors that inning, which led to three unearned McHenry runs.

“We’ve got nothing to hang our heads about,” Bogda said. “We started off the season pretty darn good.

There are some things we can continue to clean up, but to beat a solid team like McHenry, you just can’t give them easy runs like that. We just made a few defensive miscues.

“Honestly, I think it says a lot about both squads that the final score was only 5-2 with the way the wind was howling out, especially since both teams had multiple errors.

“We’re going to be fine. We’re going to be right there at the end of the season. We just have to go back after it tomorrow and keep working hard.”

BOSTON – It was Rajon Rondo’s stage for vindication Tuesday.

After all the mind games he’s gone through this season with the Bulls, there was the 31-year-old veteran with the media gathered around him, poised for an “I told you so” moment.

And like he does so often on the court … he passed.

“People are going to form their opinions regardless of what I say or how I act,” Rondo said. “It’s how life is.

“I went through a tough time playing basketball, but I have a great job, doing what I love, and still smiling to this day while I do it.’’

Not an easy attitude to latch onto,

especially this season for Rondo.

He was signed by the Bulls in the offseason, promised the keys to the offense, and then saw that all change once Dwyane Wade was brought aboard, and the Bulls now had three ball-dominant players. Rondo eventually lost his starting job, then was completely out of the rotation and on the trading block.

As the season was starting to slip away, they made him the back up point guard to lead the second unit, and when it still was slipping away after five-straight losses in mid-March, they again made him the starter.

All the Bulls have done since Rondo got his job back? How about an 11-6 record in the next 17 games?

“I just got to put the credit to my age,’’ Rondo said. “When I had older

6 NBA PLAYOFFS – FIRST ROUND: BULLS 111, CELTICS 97 (BULLS LEAD SERIES 2-0)

Bulls beat top-seeded Celtics again

By JOE COWLEY

jcowley@suntimes.com BOSTON – Jimmy Butler raised his hand and balled it into a fist.

“We’re like this,’’ the three-time All-Star insisted.

Butler was hoping that was the end of the discussion, but it wasn’t.

There’s still lingering questions to answer about how a team was so inconsistent, so dysfunctional during the regular season, and was now moving closer to history by becoming just the sixth No. 8 seed to knock off a No. 1 seed.

Thanks to 22 points, eight rebounds and eight assists from Butler, as well as Rajon Rondo coming a rebound short of a triple-double, the Bulls took a commanding 2-0 lead in the best-of-seven series, beating Boston, 111-97, in the TD Garden.

Not bad for a team that has survived in-fighting, distrust between players and front office, a major trade and an ever-changing lineup.

“That was back then,’’ Butler said, wanting to focus on what the Bulls are now rather than what they were. “Early months, early days. Now we’re in this thing. We go out there and play hard, guard, make everything tough for everybody, we’ll be fine.

“We can’t worry about the past or the future for that matter. We got [these playoffs] to worry about, that’s hard in itself. I think everybody’s playing a role, doing what they can to make this organization, this team successful. We’ll be all right.’’

They’re more than alright.

They’ve become a well-oiled machine, and can thank Butler for that transformation.

Yes, reinserting Rajon Rondo and Nikola Mirotic back into the starting lineup last month was key, but it was Butler willing this team to a 9-4 record over their final 13 regular-season games to earn the tie-breaker over Miami and the playoff ticket that saved the season.

A season that Butler has no intention of letting end in the first round.

Even before the series started on Sunday, Butler was all smiles, privately letting people know that there was no fear of a top-seeded Celtics team void of any real star power.

Again, on full display in Game 2.

“Now it’s the moment,’’ Nikola Mirotic said of Butler. “It’s the playoffs to show who he really is, and he’s showing us how good he is. We’ve always trusted in him. We knew what he was capable of.

He’s been so locked in, especially in these playoffs.

He wants it. He badly wants to prove that he’s an AllStar, that he’s elite, and he’s proving that.’’

Of course the Celtics came out with more emotion, jumping out to a quick 7-0 run, but emotions only have so much staying power. Matchup problems? Those aren’t going anywhere, and again showed itself in the Bulls’ favor.

Too big on the boards, and too much big-game experience, as the Bulls completely overwhelmed the sinking Celtics, outscoring them 31-19 over the rest of the first quarter.

Boston coach Brad Stevens did his best to look for some sort of spark, especially with his team down 54-46 at the half, and came out for the third quarter with a new-look starting lineup. Out was Amir Johnson and in was Tyler Zeller.

The Hawks trail the Predators, 3-0, in the series. much, we were playing. … Doing that, we can create momentum. We can change the script here.”

But Dave Bolland isn’t walking through that door. Pekka Rinne has shown no signs of being as mentally vulnerable as Luongo. And the Hawks, suddenly looking their age after a 50win regular season, don’t seem to have the speed to keep up with the Nashville Predators – a trendy preseason pick to reach the Stanley Cup Final whose record was significantly dented by their terrible record in 3-on-3 overtimes and

shootouts, neither of which is an issue in the playoffs.

Four teams in NHL history have come back to win a series after being down 3-0, including the 2014 Kings (against San Jose) and the 2010 Flyers (against Boston). It’s hardly out of the realm of possibility that the Hawks, who have accomplished so much in the past decade, could become the fifth. But aside from a strong second period in Game 3, the Hawks have thus far given little indication that they have the speed, the depth and the will to pull it off.

“It’s a combination of everything,” Duncan Keith said. “We haven’t played up to the way we can. There’s no two ways about it. We’ve got to give them some credit. They’ve played well and done what they’ve had to do, and they’ve played with speed. We know what we can do. It’s just a matter of doing it and being confident about it.”

With an extra day to stew on the loss before Game 4 on Thursday, the Hawks took what amounted to a mental-health day Tuesday.

While the Predators held team meetings and played ping-pong in the dressing room, Hawks coach Joel Quenneville said he wanted to give his team a day “to take a breath and stay away from each other” before hitting the ice for a practice Wednesday afternoon.

BLACKHAWKS ANALYSIS

Struggling Hawks seemed to have lost their touch

By MARK POTASH

mpotash@suntimes.com NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville still thinks he’s got some horse left.

“Still got another level,” Quenneville said when asked he was happy with his team’s “engagement” in Game 3 against the Predators after a 3-2 overtime loss Monday night put them on the brink of elimination.

That remains to be seen after the Predators made the Hawks look old and slow for the third consecutive game.

After a 109-point regular season that included four victories in five games over the Predators, the Hawks are on the verge of a stunning first-round exit.

Raising their “compete level” has been a hallmark of the Hawks remarkable eight-year run as Stanley Cup contenders. But this time it’s the eighth-seeded Predators who have stepped up their game and challenged the Hawks to re-

spond – and it’s not happening. That might be the most ominous sign of all – the Hawks no longer instill any fear or trepidation in their opponent. Down 2-0, the Predators pushed back with confidence rather than desperation and created good fortune that usually benefits the Hawks – a lucky bounce off the stanchion behind the net that led to Filip Forsberg’s first goal and a noncall on a debatable interference infraction on Forsberg’s tying goal.

It was the fourth time in the last four years the Hawks have lost a two-goal lead in the third period of a playoff game.

The three previous times they recovered to win – against the Wild in 2014 and in double-overtime against the Ducks in 2015 and the Blues in 2016.

But this time they came up empty – yet another warning sign that this playoff series is not just a singular disappointment, but the beginning of the end of an era as annual Cup favorites. Physically and mentally, the Hawks seem to

be in the awkward position of reaching back for a fastball they no longer have.

And still thinking they’ve got it.

Captain Jonathan Toews epitomizes the Hawks’ plight. In the 2011 rally from a 3-0 deficit against the Canucks, Toews’ short-handed mad-dash and tying goal with 1:56 left in regulation of Game 7 at Rogers Arena exemplified the resilience that has made the Hawks the scourge they have been. Six years later, Toews is fighting as hard as ever, trying to make something happen. But it’s just not happening.

Toews is not alone as a culprit. Marian Hossa and Brent Seabrook are not the players they were. Neither are Brian Campbell and Johnny Oduya. Artemi Panarin and Artem Anisimov have made little impact. Quenneville is running out of buttons to push. And the Hawks are running out of time.

For years, the Hawks seemed to have a Patriots-like knack for making an opponent play stupid or tighten its own

noose as a series turned in the Hawks’ favor. One moment you’re playing fast and free on the ice and joking around in the off-day news conference with a series lead. The next thing you know, your goalie is running into your best defenseman to set up the Hawks for the key goal in the series.

Forcing a good team to play poorly and scared is the Hawks’ only hope at this point. But they seem to have lost that touch.

“It’s not easy,” Toews said. “[The Predators] are a good team and they want it. They’re pushing themselves to the limit. But we have no choice. We’ve got to find a way to put pressure on them.

We’ve got to make them realize that winning that fourth game is the toughest for any team in any series.

“We can be that team to try and frustrate them and put pressure on them, especially in their own building. You never know what can happen. So we’ll just focus on winning the next one.”

• Wednesday, April 19, 2017

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – They were six years younger back then, with a lot less mileage on their bodies and a lot less weariness in their voices. But looking back through all the postseason memories they’ve made over the past nine years, the veteran Blackhawks can still recall how they took a 3-0 series deficit all the way to overtime of Game 7 against the Vancouver Canucks in 2011.

There was Dave Bolland’s return from a concussion for Game 4, and his four-point night in a 7-2 Hawks victory.

There was a 5-0 laugher in Game 5, as the Hawks chased Roberto Luongo for the second straight game. There was Ben Smith’s overtime winner in Game 6, during which they chased surprise starter Cory Schneider.

They did their best to ignore the daunting big picture the best they could, and focused only on the task at hand – win one game. Then see what happens.

“We came out and we had a good Game 4 and things started going in our direction,” Brent Seabrook said on Tuesday, in the aftermath of the Hawks’ 3-2 overtime loss in Game 3 that put them in a 3-0 hole. “We started working, we started playing our hockey. And once we started doing that, we could feel the momentum switch, and then we were just rolling. We weren’t thinking about

Cubs rally to snap 4-game skid

By BRUCE MILES

bmiles@dailyherald.com The Cubs insist it’s too early to be concerned about a lackluster start to the 2017 season, and so far, it’s OK to believe them.

But something definitely has looked amiss in April for the defending world champions. The team has lacked a certain crispness and sharpness to its game as it got off to a 7-7 start, including Tuesday night’s 9-7 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers at Wrigley Field.

General manager Jed Hoyer said he notices it, too. Hoyer talked to the media before the Cubs went out and snapped a four-game losing streak with a four-run rally in the sixth inning.

“April is difficult,” he said. “We’re drawing big conclusions from tiny sample sizes. If you were 8-5 after 13 games, you feel good. If you’re 6-7, you feel bad.

I think that’s the nature of it. That said, I don’t think we’ve played the kind of baseball we played last year, that’s for sure. We’ve been sloppier at times than we were last year.

“I think that’s the only part that I feel when I watch the games, we didn’t do that last year. We were very clean. We took care of the ball. We didn’t give other teams outs. The offensive part, I have zero concerns about that. That’s just a matter of time.”

Of course, the big question is why.

Why have the Cubs looked so blah?

Even though they brought back essentially the same crew that won last year’s World Series, these Cubs will need time

to form this year’s team identity.

“One of the things about coming off a world championship or coming off a good season, I do think there’s a tendency to feel like, ‘OK, we have the same group together; the same things are going to happen again,’ ” Hoyer said. “And I think every team has to create their own identity, and every team has to go through that process again. Maybe this is good for us in a way. It forces our guys to realize just bringing back a lot of the same guys on a really good team, it doesn’t just happen overnight. It takes time.

The hope for Hoyer and the Cubs is that the muscle memory kicks in soon.

CUBS NOTES

Arrieta could just be the most drug-tested Cub

By GORDON WITTENMYER gwittenmyer@suntimes.com

Jake Arrieta might be the Cubs’ most tested player under baseball’s “random” testing program for performance enhancing drugs – enough that the muscular power pitcher might be able to make a case he’s being profiled.

“I was tested a couple weeks ago. I have one today,” he said Tuesday before the Cubs came from behind to beat the Brewers, 9-7, and snap a four-game losing streak.

“If I am profiled because of whatever, then that’s fine, too,” he said. “I’ll take the test, and we’ll keep continuing to move on. That’s all I can do. Do it the right way and cooperate and take every

test that I’m asked to take, and every one comes back clean.”

The subject came up again Tuesday with the announcement by major league baseball that All-Star outfielder Starling Marte of the rival Pirates has been suspended for 80 games for a positive PED test, just three days after homering in a one-run victory over the Cubs.

On a hitter-friendly night in which the Cubs and Brewers combined for four home runs and 13 extra-base hits, it once again raised the question of how many players still are using PEDs more than a decade after the first significant increase in testing and penalties.

“I think we need to get drug-tested a lot more,” said Cubs first baseman An-

thony Rizzo, who seems at the opposite end of the “random” spectrum from Arrieta – having gone untested since the start-of-spring test everyone takes.

The Cubs trailed, 5-0, Tuesday before two-run homers by Kyle Schwarber in the third and Miguel Montero in the fourth, and a four-run rally in the sixth gave them the lead. And just like that, the handwringing over the Pirates’ weekend sweep can disappear Wednesday if the Cubs win their fourth of five series.

Asked before the game about Marte in the context of the weekend sweep, Cubs manager Joe Maddon said, “I don’t look in the rearview mirror. … I’m just glad that the drug testing is working.”

Arrieta said last year that he has

heard of whispers from opposing players who speculate on whether he uses steroids.

“It’s just a frustrating time for everyone once something like this comes in the news,” he said. “You hate to see it, but it also shows that the testing’s working.”

For Arrieta, the choices he makes for strength building and fitness – “I eat plants” – come down to a simple way of looking at what might be bigger risks than suspensions or lost wages.

“I don’t want to ever have to look my kids in the face and tell them about something like that,” he said. “That’s why I’ve always tried to do things the right way. Play within the rules. That’s the only way I know how to do it.”

WHITE SOX NOTES

Quintana makes appearance on ‘The Tonight Show’

By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN

dvanschouwen@suntimes.com

NEW YORK – Left-hander Jose Quintana appeared on Tuesday night’s “The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon.”

Quintana, who is from Colombia, learned to speak English in large part from watching the show, he has said, and the Fallon show picked up on it and invited him to be on. Quintana’s appearance was taped late Tuesday afternoon for the segment while the Sox were preparing for their game against the Yankees in New York.

Fallon attended the game, sitting behind home plate. Quintana is not pitching in the series.

Many Spanish speaking players do media interviews with the assistance of interpreters, including Jose Abreu and Melky Cabrera on the Sox. Quintana

does not use Sox interpreter Billy Russo, although Russo usually stands nearby in case Quintana needs clarification on a question.

Rodon not close to return: Carlos Rodon won’t be returning to the Sox anytime soon.

On the disabled list with upper bicep bursitis since the start of the season, the only throwing Rodon is doing in Arizona is on flat ground.

Once he gets on a mound, general manager Rick Hahn said Tuesday, the club will have a better sense for when Rodon will go on a minor league rehab assignment. When Rodon was put on the DL, Hahn indicated Rodon would be throwing off a mound by now.

“It’s unpredictable,’’ Hahn said. “We are responding to symptoms and how he feels and the key is he feels good and he’s making progress.’’

As the weeks begin to pass, the pos-

sibility of Rodon not pitching until after the All-Star break seems likely.

Hahn said he has no concern, however, about the health of the Sox’s No. 3 overall draft pick in 2014.

“As I’ve said from the start, we are going to take as much time as this needs to do it the right way,” Hahn said.

“There’s no urgency to rush him back.”

In other injury news: Right-hander Jake Petricka (lat) is doing exercises, Hahn said, but not throwing yet. “Could still be a while,” he said.

• Right-hander Juan Minaya (abdominal tear), on the DL since March 18, is expected to go on a rehab assignment next week.

• Center fielder Charlie Tilson (right foot) came out of his walking boot Monday and will begin ramping up load-bearing activity. “No time frame on him to return to games much less return to the big leagues,” Hahn said.

“But progress.’’

• Catcher Geovany Soto (right elbow), who went on the 10-day DL retroactive to April 12, is throwing without pain.

• Todd Frazier (flu) was feeling better and available to pinch hit Tuesday and could start Wednesday.

• Manager Rick Renteria, who was using crutches because of a bad knee Monday, put them aside Tuesday. He had an MRI, however. “It’s just inflammation,” Renteria said.

Sticking with May: Hahn said the Sox will continue to give Jacob May, who is hitless in his first 24 major league atbats, a run in center field and a chance to show what he can do.

“I feel for the kid,’’ Hahn said. “You just want more than anything for him to get any sort of knock because you think it will release some of the anxiety that has to be building up for him.”

• Wednesday, April 19, 2017

NEW YORK – The rebuilding White Sox have had their moments, such as Tuesday night when they don’t look much like a rebuilding team.

Right-hander Miguel Gonzalez turned in the starting rotation’s latest crisp start, leaving with no runs on the board after 81/3 innings in a 4-1 victory over the Yankees. David Robertson entered to record the final two outs against his former team, notching his fourth save in as many opportunities after walking two, one scoring a run charged to Gonzalez.

Avisail Garcia launched a three-run homer to deep left in the seventh, continuing to run roughshod over AL pitchers in the first two weeks of the season.

Garcia is leading the major leagues with a .440 average. He has three homers, a team-high 13 RBIs and a much better approach that just might be sustainable.

Brought to a crashing halt was the Yankees’ eight-game winning streak, and carrying on was the steady brand AP photo of baseball the Sox have played while The White Sox’s Avisail Garcia hits a three-run home run during the seventh inning building a 7-6 record.

It’s the order they came in for the longtime Pittsburgh Steelers president and chairman, however, that occasionally became blurry. Often in the best way possible.

The evidence could be found in the pews at St. Paul’s Cathedral on Tuesday, a cross section of a singular life that stretched far beyond his native city, yet never seemed to stray from its roots.

The 90-minute funeral celebrating Rooney, who died at 84 Thursday, offered a glimpse into a man who turned a moribund franchise into a dynasty; helped refine the vision of the modern NFL; and attempted to ease regional tensions as U.S. ambassador to Ireland.

All the while remaining the guy from Pittsburgh’s North Side neighborhood simply known as “Dan.” “He was a Pittsburgher,” Cardinal Donald Wuerl said. “He was the best of us.”

To the right in the massive sanctuary sat hundreds of current and ex-players – from Hall of Famers Joe Greene and Franco Harris to current stars Ben Roethlisberger and Antonio Brown to alums whose careers were far more modest – that Rooney treat-

Former Pittsburgh Steelers’ Hall of Fame running back Franco Harris (center) arrives Tuesday at St. Paul’s Cathedral in Pittsburgh for a funeral Mass for longtime Pittsburgh Steelers chairman, Pro Football Hall of Famer and former U.S. ambassador to Ireland Dan Rooney. Rooney died Thursday, at age 84. ed as surrogate sons and grandsons.

In the middle sat NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and his predecessor, Paul Tagliabue, men who relied heavily on Rooney’s counsel. Down in front sat good friend and former President Barack Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry, there to pay tribute to

Rooney’s legacy and offer comfort to his wife, Patricia, son Art II and the rest of what is considered the city’s first family.

Scattered throughout were friends, well-wishers and strangers just off the street who filled the crowded sanctuary to say goodbye.

“He never lost the common man touch,” Wuerl said.

Maybe because Rooney never considered himself anything else, not even as he oversaw the Steelers’ transformation from also-rans to champions. Not even as he joined so many of his players in the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2000. Not even as he became the first U.S. ambassador to visit all 32 counties in Ireland, intent on creating unity out of division. Not even as his phone buzzed with calls from power brokers who relied on his guidance in trying times.

When Rooney, who made sure morning mass was part of his daily schedule, would check in with Wuerl during his time in Ireland, Wuerl would answer the phone and say “Hello Mr. Ambassador.” To which Rooney would reply “it’s Dan.” No formalities. That simply wasn’t Rooney’s style. Grandstanding wasn’t his thing. When there was a project to be done, be it a new television contract between the NFL and its broadcast partners, building Heinz Field to replace Three Rivers Stadium, hashing out a player contract or starting a scholarship foundation, Rooney preferred to work quietly and behind the scenes.

“You can get anything done if you don’t care who gets the credit,” Wuerl said, repeating one of Rooney’s favorite maxims.

Roof construction delays Mercedes Benz Stadium opening

By CHARLES ODUM The Associated Press

ATLANTA – The planned opening of the $1.5 billion Mercedes Benz Stadium has been delayed by ongoing roof construction.

Steve Cannon, the CEO of Atlanta Falcons and Atlanta United owner Arthur Blank’s businesses, said Tuesday that the delay is a “timeline” issue. He insisted there is no concern about how the roof will work.

“Yes, we have a complex design and we have a complex building,” Cannon said. “But there has never been any concern about the operability of the roof.”

Cannon said installation of the roof petals is three-quarters complete.

“Normal steelwork has taken longer than anticipated and that has had an impact on the overall timeline,” he said.

The new opening date of the stadium is the Atlanta Falcons’ Aug. 26 NFL preseason game against Arizona.

The stadium with its complicated roof, which will open like a camera lens, had been set to open on July 30 with MLS Atlanta United’s game against Orlando City. That game has been moved to July 29 at Georgia

Canes loom over the construction at the new Mercedes Benz Stadium on Tuesday in Atlanta. The planned opening of the $1.5 billion stadium has been delayed by ongoing roof construction.

Tech’s Bobby Dodd Stadium, where the expansion team’s first two home games have been played.

Two Atlanta United home games planned for August at the new stadium will be rescheduled: Aug. 13 against Minnesota and Aug. 19 against Los Angeles.

Cannon confirmed that no more games will be played

at Georgia Tech after July 29, as the stadium must be prepared for the 2017 college football season.

The Falcons have scheduled another home preseason game against Jacksonville for Aug. 31.

Plans have not changed for two Chick-fil-A Kickoff games at the new stadium: Alabama-Florida State on Sept. 2 and Tennessee-Georgia Tech on Sept. 4.

Even so, Cannon said the demolition of the Georgia Dome will be put on hold as an insurance policy until a certificate of occupancy is granted for the new stadium.

“We feel now we are in a high level of predictability,” he said. “We feel very confident of the dates we’re giving now, but we do not need to bring the Georgia Dome down.”

The Georgia Dome field has been removed. Cannon would not comment on what other equipment would have to be returned to make the Georgia Dome operational.

“We’re not making any plans for that because we don’t need to,” Cannon said, adding “again, it’s an insurance policy.”

The status of the new stadium was a hot topic at least week’s unveiling of Atlanta United’s new practice facility.

SPORTS BRIEFS Pirates center fielder Marte suspended 80 games for PEDs

NEW YORK – Pittsburgh Pirates All-Star outfielder Starling Marte has been suspended 80 games by Major League Baseball after testing positive for a performance-enhancing drug.

The league said Tuesday that Marte tested positive for the steroid Nandrolone. He will be eligible to return in mid-July.

Marte was an All-Star for the first time in his career in 2016 and moved from left field to center field in the offseason after winning his second Gold Glove. The 28-year-old from the Dominican Republic is hitting .241 with two home runs and seven RBIs this season. The Pirates began play on Tuesday 6-7 through the first two weeks of the season.

Under the drug agreement, Marte is ineligible for the 2017 postseason if the Pirates were to advance.

Schneider tosses 2-hitter in win for McHenry County College–

Peyton Schneider tossed a two-hit shutout on Tuesday to lead McHenry County College to a 15-0 Illinois Skyway Collegiate Conference baseball win over Moraine Valley in Crystal Lake.

Schneider, a Harvard graduate, struck out 12 and walked one for the Scots, who improved to 23-8-1 overall and 11-2 in the ISCC. Nick Vasic was 2 for 4 with a double and five RBIs, Alex Crimaroli was 2 for 3 with three RBIs, and Tyler Stamer was 2 for 4 with three RBIs.

12 BOSTON MARATHON

Bib 261 of women’s pioneer Switzer retired

By JIMMY GOLEN

The Associated Press BOSTON – A line stretched the length of the block outside the Boston Marathon store on Boylston Street as runners waited to embroider their finishing times onto the jackets they bought to celebrate their achievement.

Inside, another line of runners was there Tuesday to celebrate Kathrine Switzer.

A day after she returned to the course on the 50th anniversary of her 1967 landmark run, the first official female entrant saw her bib No. 261 retired by the Boston Athletic Association. It’s the first number to be retired, although B.A.A. spokesman Jack Fleming said No. 61 has been held out of circulation in honor of Johnny Kelley, who started the race a record 61 times (and finished 58).

Fans crowded the brief ceremony, hugging and posing afterward for pictures with Switzer, a women’s running pioneer.

“People have such an appreciation for what running has done for them and how it’s changed their lives,” said Switzer, who named her 261 Fearless foundation after the bib number that was near-

Kathrine Switzer, the first official woman entrant in the Boston Marathon 50 years ago, laughs during a news conference Tuesday in Boston, where her bib No. 261 was retired in her honor by the Boston Athletic Association. ly torn from her back on the marathon course.

“It’s beyond me; it’s the number now,” said Switzer, who ran the race on Monday along with 118 women and “seven intrepid men” who raised money for the charity that uses running to improve women’s lives around the world.

“We can make it happen through running. The number now stands for all of

those things.”

Switzer was a 20-year-old student at Syracuse when she entered the men-only Boston Marathon in 1967, using her initials on the registration form. Although Bobbi Gibb was also in the race for the second straight year, one of the unofficial runners known as bandits, race director Jock Semple fumed at the sight of Switzer in an official bib and

tried to pull her off the course.

Pictures of that splashed across newspaper front pages, and Switzer somewhat inadvertently became a symbol of the women’s movement.

“It was the worst thing in my life at the time. It became the best thing in my life,” she said Tuesday. “He inspired me to completely not only change my life, but to change millions of women’s lives.”

Switzer began organizing women’s road races that helped persuade the Olympics to add a women’s marathon in 1984. In 2011, she was inducted into the National Women’s Hall of Fame in Seneca Falls, New York, where they quote Laurel Thatcher Ulrich: “Well-behaved women seldom make history.”

“It was a very good thing she wasn’t well-behaved on that morning,” said Joann Flaminio, the first female president in the 125-year history of the B.A.A. Switzer won the New York Marathon in 1974 and continued to run Boston until 1976 before providing TV commentary for the next 37 years. But this year, at the age of 70, she ran it again, finishing in 4 hours, 44 minutes, 31 seconds – only about 25 minutes slower than when she was 20.

With medicine evolving we are able to now offer patients cutting edge treatment options that are alternatives to joint replacement surgery. The ChicagoLand Clinics offer therapies that are cutting edge treatment ideal for improving joint mobility, reducing joint pain and preventing costly and painful surgeries.

We have clinics throughout ChicagoLand that have partnered with the Stem Cell Institute of America because our providers understand you or someone you love may have been diagnosed with Arthritis, Degenerative Joint Disease or been told you are bone on bone.

We know that as people are diagnosed with these conditions, common treatments ensue, including OTC

medications, prescription drugs, pain killers, physical therapy, injections including cortisone and “rooster comb” (Synvisc, Orthovisc...) and even surgery.

As treatments are tried, the benefit and relief from many of these therapies is short lived and other treatment options are provided to take the previous protocol’s place and still temporary results are obtained. The end result for many of these conditions is major surgery, like a total joint replacement, or live with chronic pain and disability. We have the solution to many of these problems and it’s Regenerative Medicine presented by Stem Cell Institute of America.

Regenerative therapy takes advantage of your body’s ability to repair itself, naturally. The army of healing cells is injected to the area by one of our trained practitioners. These procedures are SAFE, ETHICAL and EFFECTIVE at repairing damage and reducing pain while improving your function.

The Stem Cell Institute of America offers seminars that include vital information on the healing potential of Amniotic Placental Tissue. This tissue is a rich source of non-immunogenic cells nearly eliminating the risk of rejection or side effects while providing an incredible healing force in your body. Over the span of a few weeks to months, the cells and growth factors assist your bodies ability to repair and regenerate cartilage, ligaments, joint fluid, muscles, tissues and even nerves. This simple in office procedure can have an incredible impact on your function and restore your pain free life.

The Associated Press

NEW YORK – As a vampire slayer, Sarah Michelle Gellar learned the value of an old-fashioned wooden stake. As a mom of two children, she’s still pretty handy with a good stick – only this time it’s in the kitchen.

Gellar skewers all kinds of things in her new cookbook, “Stirring Up Fun with Food,” making appetizing-looking chicken fingers, fondues, fruit slices, sliders, cake pops and even a Caesar salad.

The former star of “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” also embraces muffin tins, cookie cutters, jars and some nifty knife work – all part of her effort to get kids to eat their veggies and try new flavors.

“We eat with our eyes first and a lot of decisions are made just by looking at something,” she said. “A child, an adult, anyone, looks at asparagus and says, ‘I don’t want to eat that. I’m going to go and eat a cupcake.’

So how do you make things more visibly appealing?”

Gellar and co-author Gia Russo think they have the answer with something called food crafting, which elevates a dish’s appeal by using clever presentation. Think of boring old meat loaf as a cute muffin.

In their book, mashed potatoes are put in shot glasses, bat-shaped mozzarella is Sarah Michelle Gellar baked for Halloween and chili Actress/cookbook author is spooned into mason jars.

Those weird asparagus are baked in panko crumbs.

One clever way Gellar gets fruit or vegetables into her kids’ stomach is by using cookie cutters to cut letters out of cucumbers or watermelon, assembling words and then sending her kids to school with edible notes (“I Love You” or “Great Job!”).

“Let me tell you how fast those vegetables go,” Gellar said.

She also substitutes roasted, Parmesan-flavored cauliflower for popcorn for snacking in front of the TV. “You’re getting that same sensation, that same satisfaction, right, but you’re getting a nutritional value at the same time.”

Gellar, who with her husband, Freddie Prinze Jr., have two children, Charlotte, 7, and Rocky, 4, is passionate about food and nutrition, urging kids to learn about different foods early and help in the kitchen.

Cooking, she said, teaches gross motor skills, math, science and vocabulary. “More than that: It’s about time spent together. People will say, ‘My child is too young.’ You’re never too young. My daughter will say to my son, ‘OK, we need three cups. Which one is the three, Rocky?’ He just points to the three.”

Karen Murgolo, who worked on the book as editorial director of the Grand Central Life & Style imprint, said she was impressed by Gellar’s creativity and concern for portion control, nutrition and creating food for people on the go. “It’s great for parents of kids anywhere from 1½ to 17, but I think 80 percent of the recipes could be served at any dinner party, honestly.”

Gellar’s interest in better ingredients and sustainable food policies has led her and Russo to start their own business, Foodstirs, a non-GMO line of baking mixes free of artificial

“We eat with our eyes first, and a lot of decisions are made just by looking at something.”

She was prompted to act after being frustrated by the lack of change in supermarket baking mix boxes, which often have salt as the second ingredient or add red dye in a yellow cake mix.

“There’s been so much attention on the perimeter of the grocery store – juices and cleanses and fruits and vegetables.

Then you go into the interior and it’s kind of really antiquated.

I thought, ‘This is wrong,’ ” she said.

With her business, Gellar joins other actresses such as Gwyneth Paltrow, Gwen Stefani and Jessica Alba who have shown a strong entrepreneurial drive after establishing themselves.

“I think that there’s a safety net that we have because we’ve achieved so much. I’ve achieved more than I ever thought I would achieve. So everything else becomes gravy and I think it makes you braver,” said Gellar, who lives in Los Angeles.

“It makes you not rely so much on the negative comments.

It makes you really sort of feel like, ‘You know what? I’m going to try it and if it doesn’t work out, that’s OK because I’m happy with everything I’ve done.’ ” One thing she won’t do is help reboot her old Buffy role, saying fans of the Joss Whedon-created show will be upset whether she backs it or not. She called it a “no-win situation.”

“I think that the show lives on in graphic novels, in fan fiction. And it lives on because people are still discovering it and still watching it, which means they’re happy with it. If it ain’t broke, I’m not going to be the one to offer to fix it.”

Shaved Asparagus Salad With Pistachios and Preserved Lemon Dressing

early spring ingredients, easy ways to use them

By JULIA TURSHEN

The Washington Post

ngredients and their availability can tell you a lot about time and place. In a country where it’s easy to buy a lemon no matter where you are and no matter what time of year, it can be hard to remember how food and the seasons are closely tied.

When it comes to spring, there are certain items such as tender green shell peas that help us stretch toward the light after a long winter. And then there are ingredients such as asparagus that are available pretty much everywhere, all the time, but taste so especially good in season. In noticing the distance between the OK and amazing, and the pleasure of celebrating something when it has a small window of time, there’s a valuable life lesson.

Some of the best – and my favorite – spring ingredients are a mix of the readily available and the fleeting. From eggs to sweet crab, the five featured in the accompanying recipes all are wonderfully versatile – so much so that easy variations showcase their range and will encourage your own creativity.

The shaved asparagus salad is dressed with a North African-inspired mixture of preserved lemons, their brine, honey, olive oil, and is sprinkled

with pistachios. If you can make that, you also can lean toward Italy and use fresh lemon juice instead of the preserved lemon and substitute pine nuts and Parmesan for the pistachios. Or leave Western flavors altogether and make an easy mixture of toasted sesame oil, rice vinegar and soy sauce, then shower the stalks with sesame seeds.

One of the simplest ways to turn rhubarb from sour and tough to sweet and yielding is to chop it and simmer it with sugar and water. This mixture can be strained and mixed with lime juice and seltzer for a pink twist on a Lime Rickey, or mixed with the same plus some tequila for the most beautiful margarita (throw it in the blender, if you wish, and salt the rims of your glasses). Or you can purée the poached rhubarb with its syrup and fresh strawberries and freeze the mixture to make a granita that has all the flavor of strawberry-rhubarb pie without all the fuss of making one.

Peas and mint have been friends for a long time, but I like to combine them with spinach, ginger, cilantro and fish sauce for a more Vietnamese approach. Add cumin seeds and a dollop of yogurt, and you’re transported to India. Swap extra garlic for the ginger and basil for the herbs, and you’ve got a simple Italian side dish. Fresh peas shine in all of these, but frozen peas make these recipes good

anytime.

I eat eggs nearly every day, but a soft-boiled one feels like the best way to honor a really fresh spring egg. Soft-boiled ones with their luxurious yolks, especially, can stand up to bold flavors. My favorite thing to do is to combine them not only with something assertive, but also something rich and fatty to make them extra indulgent. Enter avocado and kimchi . . . or butter and anchovies . . . rich yogurt and a spritz of bright lemon. Anything goes. Eat these combinations on toast or with nutty cooked grains for some texture contrast.

Crab might be the most indulgent spring ingredient of all. My mantra is when I splurge, I make it worth it. The featured salad is a mixture of crabmeat, small potatoes and watercress, all bound with a mustardy, lemony, creme fraiche dressing. It’s what I imagine ladies who lunch eat, but I’d rather spend my money on crab than a mediocre salad. The crab and potatoes can be smashed into cakes that you pan-fry and serve with the sauce for dipping. Or swap spaghetti for potatoes and let the lemon pour down for the most delicious pasta.

From my kitchen to yours, spring.

READER NOTICE:

Inspirational author Ivy Gilbert wrote, “Once you replace negative thoughts with positive ones, you’ll start having positive results.” But in bridge, when you use a negative double, you will have more positive results than you would have attained without its assistance.

So far this week, we have seen that when opener bids one of a suit and the next player overcalls in another suit (perhaps with a single jump), a double promises length in the unbid major.

Some claim that it shows length in the unbid major and the unbid minor, but that is not true. However, you should have some idea of what you will do if partner rebids in that minor and you do not have support.

But what happens when there are two unbid majors, as in today’s deal?

I like to play that the negative double shows exactly 4-4 in those majors.

(With 5-4, you bid the five-card suit; with 5-5, you respond one spade.)

Following North’s double, South jumps to three no-trump. How does he plan the play after taking West’s diamond-jack lead with his king?

Declarer has seven top tricks: four hearts, one diamond (trick one) and two clubs. Since West seems marked with the diamond ace, East is the danger hand, the one who must be kept off lead. So, declarer should cross to the club king and run the club 10. When this holds, he takes his nine winners, then plays a spade to collect an overtrick. But even if the club finesse loses, declarer is protected from a diamond attack and has time to establish his ninth trick in spades.

Pray this prayer 3 consecutive days without asking your wish. After the 3rd day your wish will be granted, no matter how difficult it might be. Promise to publish this dialogue as soon as your favor has been granted.
