TODAY’S TALKER

Is it a bird? Is it a plane?

Flying car to go on sale

By MILOS KRIVOKAPIC and ANGELA CHARLTON The Associated Press

MONACO – It may not be quite like the Jetsons, but for more than a million dollars you too can soon fly around in a car.

A Slovakian company called AeroMobil unveiled on Thursday its version of a flying car, a light-framed plane whose wings can fold back, like an insect, and is boosted by a hybrid engine and rear propeller.

It will be available to preorder as soon as this year, but is not for everyone: besides the big price tag – between $1.3 million and $1.6 million – you’d need a pilot’s license to use it in the air.

“I think it’s going to be a very niche product,” said Philip Mawby, professor of electronic engineering and head of research at the University of Warwick.

Several companies are working on flying cars, either like Aeromobil’s two-seater that needs a runway, or others that function more like helicopters, lifting off vertically. But not many companies are seriously looking at marketing these vehicles anytime soon, Mawby said.

“The technology is there. ... The question is

WHERE IT’S AT

bringing it to the market at an affordable cost, and making it a useful product,” Mawby said.

Among the big questions is how to control the air traffic if there are hundreds of such vehicles zipping through the air. There is no control except for traditional aircraft, Mawby said.

So although vehicles such as the AeroMobil could be used for recreational purposes by people who have a large piece of land, flying cars are unlikely to become a mass market reality anytime soon, he said.

The AeroMobil has a driving range of about 62 miles and a top speed of 99 mph. When flying, its maximum cruising range is 466 miles, and it takes about three minutes for the car to transform into a plane.

“You can use it as a regular car,” said Juraj Vaculik, co-founder and CEO of Aeromobil, at the unveiling in Monaco. Although it is not legal – yet – to take off from a highway.

The previous AeroMobil 3.0 prototype made news in 2014 when it was presented in Vienna, but no test-flight took place then. It crashed during a test flight in Slovakia in 2015 with its inventor Stefan Klein on board. He escaped largely unharmed.

WEATHER WATCH

Officials say communication is important in event of a tornado

By KEVIN P. CRAVER

kcraver@shawmedia.com A picture that McHenry County Emergency Management Agency Director David Christensen snapped five years ago of a tornado-damaged downstate home speaks for itself about why people should heed severe weather watches and warnings.

A bare blue room exposed to the outside after a powerful EF4 tornado ripped through the small town of Harrisburg had been occupied by a toddler.

The toddler’s parents were alerted of the incoming tornado shortly before 5 a.m. by their all-hazards weather radio, and the family made it to the safety of an interior stairwell before the twister hit the house.

The only casualty from the toddler’s room was the furniture.

Others in town weren’t so lucky – the 2012 storm, part of a two-day tornado outbreak at the end of February, killed eight people in the small town. “[The picture] to me says everything as to why we should follow

A wedge tornado left a path of wreckage April 9, 2015, through Fairdale in DeKalb County. Seventeen houses were leveled, 11 people were taken to the hospital, and two women were confirmed dead after the tornado hit Fairdale about 7:15 p.m. alerts and have a communications plan,” Christensen said.

More than half a century has passed since a tornado took a life in McHenry County, when the 1965 Palm Sunday tornado cut a swath from Crystal Lake to Island Lake, killing six.

Newspaper stories since have an

abundance of instances in which the county lucked out, most recently with the extremely destructive tornado that smashed unincorporated Fairdale two years ago – it was headed for Marengo, but petered out when it reached the county’s border.

WOODSTOCK – Algonquin Township Highway Commissioner-elect Andrew Gasser resigned from his seat on the McHenry County Board to give full attention to his new office.

Gasser, R-Fox River Grove, told his fellow County Board members at the end of Tuesday’s meeting that it would be his last. His resignation comes almost two months after he upset incumbent Highway Commissioner Bob Mill-

er in the Feb. 28 Republican primary – Gasser ran unopposed in the April 4 election.

“It’s always been an honor and a privilege to serve on this McHenry County Board. I have never taken anything for granted. Every day has brought many interesting challenges, and I have grown so much personally, and it’s because of all the people I’ve served on this board with,” Gasser told his fellow members and county staff.

LITH employees became fed up, pushed for Gerald Sagona’s exit

By HANNAH PROKOP

hprokop@shawmedia.com LAKE IN THE HILLS – The Village Board put its longtime top administrator on leave last summer to appease Lake in the Hills managers who were fed up with Gerald Sagona’s “abhorrent, undignified, embarrassing and degrading” conduct, according to a letter obtained by the Northwest Herald.

The letter, signed by management staff, tells a story that contrasts with statements made by Sagona and Lake in the Hills Village President Paul Mulcahy at the time of the resignation.

Sagona, who had served as village administrator for two decades, told the Northwest Herald in August that he was resigning for personal reasons and wanted to focus on his family. Mulcahy praised his leadership and his contributions to the village. Mulcahy wrote a glowing letter of recommendation for Sagona. Only after the newspaper filed a Freedom of Information Act request did it become clear that Sagona had been put on leave before he resigned.

In the letter sent to Mulcahy and all of the elected board members the day before Sagona was put on leave, management employees said Sagona’s management practices were “ineffective and inappropriate.”

Village leaders fought to keep the letter private. They provided the letter to the Northwest Herald nearly two months after the Illinois Attorney General’s Office said village officials had “improperly withheld a copy of a letter concerning a public official.”

The names and titles of the people who signed the letter were redacted.

The village initially had denied the newspaper’s Freedom of Information Act request for the letter. The Northwest Herald challenged that decision with the Illinois Attorney General’s Office. The Attorney General’s Office sided with the newspaper.

Sagona was placed on administrative leave July 26, according to a letter sent to him from Mulcahy. Sagona resigned shortly after that.

On July 25, an unknown number of people who identified themselves as “management staff” asked Mulcahy to address problems with Sagona’s management. In the letter, employees described the workplace culture under Sagona as one of “fear, intimidation and hostility.” They said the only way forward was for Sagona to be removed.

“We can no longer ignore the risk of harm his unwanted conduct and unpredictable behavior has upon our

“This turnover has resulted in lost time, the expenditure of unnecessary resources and additional pressures on remaining staff. It is only expected to continue.”

From the letter written by Lake in the Hills employees mental and physical health; each of us reports experiencing undue stress and anxiety working under his direction,” the letter states. “We personally find his conduct abhorrent, undignified, embarrassing and degrading.”

The letter notes that two times, in 2013 and 2015, attempts to fix problems with Sagona were “unsuccessful.”

Sagona was responsible for a high turnover in the village’s staff, and the village had difficulty in replacing management positions because of the reputation Sagona had in the field, the letter states.

“This turnover has resulted in lost time, the expenditure of unnecessary resources and additional pressures on remaining staff,” employees wrote in the letter. “It is only expected to continue.”

Employees – who asked in the letter that their names remain confidential while the matter was being resolved – said the only solution was to get rid of Sagona.

In response to the letter, Sagona told the Northwest Herald that he had to deal with many significant personnel and operational problems in the village in his last few years in office.

Sagona said in the statement that his performance was always judged as “superior or commendable” in the written evaluations he received during his 20 years with the village.

“My record of accomplishments, and my commitment as a public servant to address issues and demand accountability, clearly outweighs any criticism, slanderous comments, or unfounded allegations levied against me by some disgruntled employees,” Sagona said in the statement.

Sagona also sent the Northwest Herald several letters of recommendation and thanks that he received after he resigned from attorney Richard Flood, Mulcahy and the Algonquin-Lake in the Hills Interfaith Food Pantry.

Although Mulcahy said he put Sagona on leave because of the letter, he also praised Sagona’s work in the village, noting Sagona’s accomplishments including developing the first comprehensive capital improvement plans for the village’s facilities and infrastructure,

acquiring land for Sunset Park and creating the village’s Rotary Club. “[There is] no one person employed by the village over the years, maybe in the history of the village, that has had as much to do with what the village is today as Jerry Sagona,” Mulcahy said Thursday.

Problems with Sagona were always addressed, Mulcahy said. He would not comment on how they were addressed.

Village Trustee Ray Bogdanowski confirmed that the letter led to Sagona’s departure. He said there had been complaints about Sagona before, but never by a group of employees.

“It wasn’t like this was the first time,” Bogdanowski said. “It was the first time they were unified and put exactly what the issues were in writing.”

Bogdanowski praised Sagona’s work as village administrator, but he said his people skills fell short.

“He’s probably one of the best – he did a lot for the village,” Bogdanowski said. “But the dealing with people aspect – there was a weakness there.”

Although the Attorney General’s Office determined Feb. 23 that the village improperly withheld the letter from the Northwest Herald, Mulcahy said he was given direction from the Village Board to not release the letter.

The letter originally was requested by the Northwest Herald in a Freedom of Information Act request Aug. 31, and it was received April 14.

The village denied the original request for the letter for reasons including that the records would constitute an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy and that the record was a preliminary draft or note with opinions. Mulcahy said he didn’t think the letter should be released to the public because it was “just an opinion of some employees.”

Because the recommendation from the Attorney General’s Office was not binding, there was no set timeline on when the village needed to send the document, said Annie Thompson, spokeswoman for the Attorney General’s Office.

CRYSTAL LAKE – Workers began tearing down the Sears store Thursday on Route 14 to make room for a Mariano’s grocery store.

City leaders announced in January that the Chicago-based specialty grocery store would be opening a 74,800-square-foot facility at the Sears location at 105 Route 14. Mariano’s and the city had been in talks for about two years.

Mariano’s expects to open early next year.

City leaders estimate the store could create hundreds of jobs and bring in between $35 million and $40 million in annual sales.

The Sears store officially closed last month.

• GASSER

Continued from page A4 over leadership of the county Republican Party in 2014, and worked to better mobilize and encourage precinct committeemen. He won the vice presidency of the party, and that November voters elected him to represent County Board District 1, which covers parts of Algonquin and Grafton townships in the county’s heavily populated southeast corner.

Gasser became a vocal proponent of tax relief and became well-known on the board floor and in interviews for reciting McHenry County’s ranking by a Washington, D.C., think tank as having the 29th highest property tax burden in the nation. He recited that number one last time during his farewell speech, eliciting laughs from fellow members.

He was just as vociferous of an opponent of board members having Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund pensions – he turned down both the pension and the health insurance benefits that came with the seat at the time.

Gasser raised eyebrows among his fellow Republicans for supporting their abolition in the wake of a state investigation into board members’ eligibility requested by former state representative, and now McHenSpecialty Meats • Deli Beef • Pork • Chicken Lamb • Veal • Seafood Sandwiches • Party Trays Gaming • Beer • Wine

ry County Board chairman, Jack Franks, D-Marengo.

In 2016, he turned his focus on Algonquin Township, specifically Miller, whose family had held the highway commissioner post for half a century.

He was elected president of the township GOP and subsequently spearheaded the party adopting a position against nepotism. Miller had his wife, former County Board member Anna May Miller, as his secretary, and had two sons-in-law on the payroll.

One of Gasser’s final votes as a County Board member Tuesday was approval of a resolution that he co-authored with Franks to pledge a 10 percent cut in county government’s tax levy next year.

Gasser said Thursday that he feels as if he accomplished much in two years.

“I feel that I put the property tax issue front and center on the County Board. I thought it was wrong for County Board members to get pensions, and now that’s gone,” Gasser said.

It will be up to Franks, a Democratic chairman of a board with Republicans holding all but one of the 24 seats, to advance a replacement for a vote after the County Board officially declares a vacancy. Franks said the candidate he selects will be a Republican.

WEST DUNDEE

Teen charged with possessing, selling LSD and marijuana

LOCAL BRIEF Crystal Lake commission gives nod to proposed tattoo parlor

CRYSTAL LAKE – The City Council will consider plans for a tattoo parlor on Carlemont Drive in May after the project got the green light this week from the city’s Planning and Zoning Commission.

The commission voted, 6-0, Wednesday to recommend approval of a special use permit for Monster Ink Tattoo & Piercing studio at 1520 Carlemont Drive, Unit D, in the Randall North Business Center.

Taylor Kuhlman of Crystal Lake requested the special use permit, which is

required for tattoo parlors, to open a business with five tattoo stations and a body piercing area in a 1,200-square-foot space between Buffalo Wings & Rings and Randall North Dental Care. Some neighboring businesses had raised concerns about the plans. Supporters and opponents of the project spoke at Wednesday’s meeting, City Planner Katie Cowlin said.

Cowlin said the commission’s recommendation will go to the Crystal Lake City Council, which is set to consider the special use permit at its May 2 meeting.

WOODSTOCK – A West Dundee teen accused of selling LSD and marijuana faces a series of drug charges.

Jacob A. Fosco, 18, was charged Wednesday with possession with intent to deliver LSD, a Class X felony; unlawful possession of LSD, a Class 1 felony; possession with intent to deliver cannabis, a Class 4 felony; and unlawful possession of cannabis as well as unlawful possession of drug paraphernalia, Class A misdemeanors.

If convicted of a Class X felony, he could face six to 30 years in prison.

Members of the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office seized 19 tabs of

LSD, 17 grams of marijuana, a digital scale and plastic baggies from Fosco, according to court documents.

The street value of the drugs is estimated at $450, deputies said.

Fosco previously was arrested in September and charged with unlawful possession of a controlled substance.

Jacob A. Police said he had eight Fosco 1-milligram clonazepam tablets. Clonazepam is used to treat anxiety, seizures and panic disorder.

He will appear in court on the new charges Tuesday before McHenry County Judge Michael Feetterer.

| A CLOSER LOOK

Watch vs. warning • A tornado watch means that conditions are favorable for the development of tornadoes. People should watch the weather and monitor news and forecasts.

• A tornado warning means that a tornado has been spotted or is about to form. People should take cover immediately.

How to prepare • Keep an eye on forecasts.

• Buy a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration all-hazards radio with an alarm.

• A number of government and weather agencies offer text and email alerts when watches and warnings are called for a particular area.

What to do • Get to the lowest floor of a home, preferably a basement, and take cover under sturdy furniture. If people have no basement, take shelter in an interior room on the lowest floor.

• Know where a storm shelter area is at work.

Source: National Weather Service

• WEATHER

Continued from page A3 Such a disaster might happen again in McHenry County, and with the return of warm weather, experts are making their annual warnings for families to be ready.

And although McHenry County has gone a half century without a deadly tornado, thunderstorms, damaging winds, flooding and other hazards are commonplace.

Although tornado season in northeastern Illinois typically runs from mid-March to June, tornadoes can strike any time of year.

A freak tornado in January 2008 injured five in Boone and McHenry counties and derailed a train carrying a toxic chemical, forcing the evacuation of more than 100 homes near Harvard. A tornado touched down Feb. 28 in Naplate and Ottawa in LaSalle County, killing two.

Fortunately, being aware of severe weather hazards is easier and more convenient than ever.

Smartphone owners have a wide variety of ways to get weather alerts either based on where they live or based on their particular GPS location.

Christensen and other experts also urge every home to have a weather radio that sounds an alarm when the

National Weather Service issues a watch or warning for the area.

People also should check the weather at least once a day if forecasters warn that severe weather could be a problem later in the day.

Relying on outdoor warning sirens can be a deadly mistake.

Not only is their coverage area incomplete, especially in rural areas, but they also are hard to hear through modern construction – they are designed to warn people outdoors to seek shelter indoors, hence their name.

Getting the alerts is only part of having a plan, Christensen said.

People also should know what to do based on where they are, and families should have a plan to communicate in the event that they are separated when severe weather hits.

Christensen recommended that families have an out-of-state contact, preferably a reliable family friend, so people can check in to confirm that they are all right. In the event that cellphone service is spotty or disrupted, text messages have a much higher percentage of getting through than a voice call.

“Where are you going to go when you get that alert? What are you going to do?” Christensen said. “We’re all over the place as families. How are you going to communicate with them?”

RONALD JESCHKE

MARY ELLEN PETERSON Mary Ellen Peterson, 72, longtime therapist, passed away unexpectedly and peacefully on 29 March 2017, surrounded by her loving family.

Born in Harvard, Ill., where she met her husband of 48 years, Captain Robert “Pete” Peterson (USN, RET), Mary Ellen and Pete made a life of adventure with their children, Rob and Erica, as they traveled the world before finally settling in Norfolk, VA. Nicknamed “Tootsie” by her grandchildren, Mary Ellen’s greatest passions were her family, and her wide circle of friends and colleagues. Her bubbly personality and infectious giggle were well known by the many who adored her. She lived by the advice she frequently passed along: “Live life to the fullest.”

As Mary Ellen often said, “I came to have a good time, and I did.” She will be sorely missed.

Left behind to cherish her memory are her husband; son, Rob and wife, Patti; daughter, Erica and husband, Allen; grandchildren Robby, Katie and Drew; and six brothers and sisters.

A “Celebration of Life” will be held at a later date.

By EUGENIA LAST

Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – A steady pace will be required. Don’t let frustration set in if things don’t move fast enough. It’s in your best interest to aim for perfection and precision in all that you do this year. A responsible approach to life will bring you greater stability and personal security.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – You can make headway if you exercise your right to ask questions and sign up for offers that can help bring about your chance to advance. Romance is highlighted.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Refuse to give in to someone trying to manipulate you to take on responsibilities that don’t belong to you. Say no

and put your energy into reaching your goals.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Easy does it. Stay focused on work, meetings, personal growth and education. Hang out with someone who inspires and motivates you to explore new interests. Sign up for a retreat.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – A steady pace, a good idea and a strong work ethic will save the day.

Plan to celebrate with someone whom you want to share your thoughts with.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Share information and make alterations to the way you do things. A fresh new look at an old idea will spark enthusiasm and help you get your plans up and running.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – If you want to make a change, do something that will help you bring

about self-awareness. Try to make personal improvements or enhance your relationship with someone special. Romance is highlighted.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Channel your emotional energy into something that will bring you comfort and joy. Working on home projects, improving your relationship with loved ones and making physical self-improvements are all highlighted.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Emotional manipulation will lead to personal problems within important relationships. Do what you want and allow others the same privilege. Personal gains should be your goal.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Getting together with old friends may lead to a tempting situa-

tion. A joint venture or poor decision will turn out to be a costly mistake. Think before you act.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – An opportunity must not be allowed to slip away. Consider making a joint venture or resurrecting an old idea. If you experiment a little, you’ll find out a lot. Take a leap of faith.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Hang on tight.

When in doubt, make it a point to ask questions.

Don’t move forward without having the facts and figures to support your views. Look out for No. 1.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – You’ll meet and form a good relationship with someone interesting if you participate in an event that is dedicated to helping a cause you support. An offer will be too good to refuse.

Schock asks court to toss corruption case

By MICHAEL TARM The Associated Press

CHICAGO – Former U.S. Rep. Aaron Schock asked a federal judge Thursday to throw out his corruption case, arguing that the charges are grounded on ambiguous House spending rules and that his prosecution undermines longstanding protections for members of Congress.

The 2016 indictment accuses the once-rising GOP star of illegally seeking reimbursement in government funds for lavish spending, including $5,000 on a chandelier for his Washington office, which he was redecorating in the style of the “Downton Abbey” TV series.

Schock’s new filing points to a host of House rules that it says are imprecise, including ones barring reimbursement for the purchase of “furniture.” The rules don’t define the word and, it says, it’s “entirely unclear whether [a chandelier] would be considered furniture.”

In a filing earlier this week, prosecutors denied allegations Schock’s attorneys made in March that investigators crossed legal lines by recruiting a confidential informant from Schock’s staff. Thursday’s filing doesn’t directly

Lawmakers ponder proposal to legalize marijuana

CHICAGO – The head of Colorado’s Department of Revenue has spoken to Illinois legislators considering a proposal to legalize marijuana in the state.

The department’s executive director, Barbara Brohl, told lawmakers during a hearing Wednesday that she believes the legal market for marijuana is eating into the black market, funding drug abuse treatment and prevention, and providing a safer product, The Chicago Tribune reported.

Proposed legislation in Illinois would allow possession of up to an ounce of pot by people who are at least 21 years old.

Smoking in public would be prohibited, and driving under the influence would remain illegal.

Eastern Illinois to continue hosting track championships

BLOOMINGTON – The running, vaulting, jumping and throwing will continue at Eastern Illinois University through 2022.

The Illinois High School Association board of directors approved a recommendation this week to extend the Eastern Illinois hosting contract for the IHSA Track & Field State Final at O’Brien Stadium.

The five-year extension is for both boys and girls meets.

Eastern Illinois athletic director Tom Michael said the IHSA track championship has been “a vital part of the community” for decades. He said it’s a great way to introduce the Charleston-based school to thousands of visitors.

Paul, declined to comment on Schock’s new filing.

In it, Schock’s attorneys said the House often intends for spending rules to be vague in order to give legislators latitude in how to spend.

“Because Congress, and Congress alone, possesses the constitutional power to create and enforce House rules, a criminal prosecution cannot be premised on ... interpretation of ambiguous House rules,” it says.

Doing so strikes at a foundation of the American system of government, the separation of powers, the attorneys wrote.

“The wide-ranging Indictment against Mr. Schock repeatedly trespasses on land the Constitution reserves for Congress,” they wrote, adding that the rules are “so ambiguous as to invite” arbitrary enforcement by the country’s U.S. attorneys.

Schock first garnered national attention after appearing on the cover of Men’s Health showing off his six-pack abs.

He also successfully marketed himself during six years in Congress as an unwavering fiscal conservative.

If convicted of wire fraud, Schock could be sentenced to up to 20 years in prison.

Aldermen want police to discuss anti-texting tools

CHICAGO – Two Chicago aldermen want the city’s police to look into using technology that would detect if motorists involved in injury accidents were texting while driving.

Chicago City Council Finance Committee Chairman Edward Burke and Transportation Committee Chairman Anthony Beale introduced the resolution Wednesday.

The so-called “textalyzer” is a device that can access a cellphone’s operating system to check whether it was being used to text or email. It has raised concerns of civil libertarians.

The aldermen want Chicago police to appear before the council “to address the use of emerging technology” in enforcing the city’s existing traffic laws and investigation of vehicle crashes.

Burke said he thinks drivers text “because they think there is little chance of ever getting caught.” He said the behavior threatens other motorists, cyclists and pedestrians.

GM quits Venezuela after government seizes factory

By JUAN CARLOS HERNANDEZ and JOSHUA GOODMAN The Associated Press

VALENCIA, Venezuela – General Motors announced Thursday that it was shuttering its operations in Venezuela after authorities seized its factory in the country, a move that could draw the Trump administration into the escalating chaos engulfing the South American nation amid days of deadly protests.

The plant in the industrial city of Valencia was confiscated Wednesday as anti-government protesters clashed with security forces and pro-government groups in a country battered by economic troubles, including food shortages and triple-digit inflation. Three people were killed and hundreds arrested in the deadliest day of protests since the unrest began three weeks ago.

The seizure arose from an almost 20-year-old lawsuit brought by a former GM dealership in western Venezuela. The dealership had been seeking damages from GM of 476 million bolivars – about $665 million at the official exchange rate, or $115 million on the black market where many Venezuelans are forced to turn to sell their increasingly worthless currency. GM said it was notified this week that a low-level court ordered the seizure of its plant, bank accounts and other assets in the country.

Hundreds of workers desperate for information about their jobs gathered at the plant Thursday to meet with government and military officials, as well as representatives of the dealership that brought the lawsuit. The neglected factory hasn’t produced a car since 2015 but GM still has 79 dealers that employ 3,900 people in Venezuela, where for decades it was the market leader.

General Motors’ announcement came as Venezuela’s opposition moved to keep up pressure on President Nicolas Maduro, taking to the

streets again Thursday a day after the biggest anti-government demonstrations in years.

It’s not the first time the Venezuelan government has seized a foreign corporation’s facilities. Last July, the government said it would take over a factory belonging to Kimberly-Clark Corp. after the American personal care giant said it was halting manufacturing because materials weren’t available in Venezuela.

But the move against GM, the U.S.’s biggest automaker, was a much more powerful statement, and could lead to a further erosion of relations between the two countries.

“This is a test case for Trump,” said Raul Gallegos, a Bogota-based analyst at Control Risks consultancy. “His response to a rogue nation taking over the assets of a brand name U.S. company will be indicative of the road it wants to take with Venezuela.”

The State Department said Thursday it was reviewing details of the GM case but called on authorities to act swiftly and transparently to resolve the dispute.

“A fair, predictable and transparent judicial system is critical to implementing the essential economic reforms critical to restoring growth and addressing the needs of the Venezuelan people,” State Department spokesman Mark Toner said.

Later Thursday, Maduro said he had called for an investigation into cellphone operator Movistar for allegedly being part of the “coup-minded march” organized by adversaries of his government. He said the subsidiary of Spain’s Telefonica “sent millions of messages to users every two hours” in support of Wednesday’s protests.

Tens of thousands of protesters took to the streets again Thursday to demand elections and denounce what they consider an increasingly dictatorial government. They were met by a curtain of tear gas and rubber bullets as they tried to march to downtown Caracas.

President Donald Trump arrives March 21 with Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., to rally support for the Republican health care overhaul. Work requirements for Medicaid could lead to major changes in the social safety net under Trump.

Under Trump, states may demand work for Medicaid

By RICARDO ALONSO-ZALDIVAR The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – Work requirements for Medicaid could lead to major changes in the social safety net under President Donald Trump.

It sounds like a simple question: Should adults who are able to work be required to do so to get taxpayer provided health insurance?

The federal-state Medicaid program for low-income and disabled people covers more than 70 million U.S. residents – about 1 in 5 – including an increasing number of working-age adults. In a break from past federal policy, the Health and Human Services department under Secretary Tom Price already has notified governors it stands ready to approve state waivers for “meritorious” programs that encourage work.

Separately, an amendment to the still-stuck House GOP health care bill would allow individual states to require work or training for adults, with exceptions such as pregnant women, or parents of a disabled child.

However, a surprising number of working-age adults with Medicaid already are employed. Nearly 60 percent work either full- or part-time, mainly for employers that don’t offer health insurance, says the nonpartisan Kaiser Family Foundation. Most who are not working report reasons such as illness, caring for a family member, or going to school.

Geraldine Stewart, a Medicaid beneficiary from Charlotte, N.C., questioned the effect of a work requirement

on older adults. Stewart was incapacitated by painful problems with her feet, now relieved by surgery covered under the program. In her early 60s, she was able to return to part-time work as a home health aide after treatment.

“To do work anywhere, I have to have my feet,” Stewart said. “I really hope that they do not force anyone who has a medical condition to work to have to pay for those services. I don’t think it’s been researched properly.”

The debate over work requirements for safety net programs isn’t new. With Medicaid, it doesn’t break neatly along liberal-conservative lines.

On the political right, some say the idea is flawed because a person who refuses to work will still be able to get free treatment by going to a hospital emergency room. Others say Medicaid was established by law as a health program, and work requirements would compromise that original mission.

“It’s a policy that comes out of a misunderstanding of the situation facing low-income families,” Jason Helgerson, head of New York’s Medicaid program, said of work requirements.

“People need health care to function in the work force. Threatening that, in my view, does not help in any meaningful way.”

In a recent letter to governors, HHS Secretary Price and Seema Verma, the new head of Medicare and Medicaid, suggested that work itself can be good for health. “The best way to improve the long-term health of low-income Americans is to empower them with skills and employment,” they wrote.

Anti-death penalty supporter Randy Gardner (right) embraces Abraham Bonowitz after they read about the decision to halt an execution Monday in their taped off “protest corral” outside the Varner Unit near Varner, Ark. tions were canceled because of court decisions.

Two more inmates are set to die Monday, and one on April 27. Another inmate scheduled for execution next week has received a stay.

The U.S. Supreme Court cleared the way for Lee’s execution less than an hour before his death warrant was

set to expire at midnight, rejecting a round of last-minute appeals the condemned inmate’s attorneys had filed.

An earlier ruling from the state Supreme Court allowing officials to use a lethal injection drug that a supplier said was obtained by misleading the company that cleared the way for Lee’s execution.

• Friday, April 21, 2017 *

VARNER, Ark. – Arkansas has executed an inmate for the first time in nearly a dozen years as part of its plan to execute several inmates before a drug expires April 30, despite court rulings that already have spared three men.

Ledell Lee’s execution was the first in the state since 2005. He was pronounced dead at 11:56 p.m. Thursday, four minutes before his death warrant was due to expire.

Lee, 51, was put on death row for the 1993 death of his neighbor Debra Reese, whom Lee struck 36 times with a tire tool her husband had given her for protection. Lee was arrested less than an hour after the killing after spending some of the $300 he had stolen from Reese.

The state originally set four double executions over an 11-day period in April. The eight executions would have been the most by a state in such a compressed period since the U.S. Supreme Court reinstated the death penalty in 1976. The state said the executions needed to be carried out before its supply of one lethal injection drug expires April 30. The first three execu-

Arkansas dropped plans to execute a second inmate, Stacey Johnson, on the same day after the state Supreme Court said it wouldn’t reconsider his stay, which was issued so Johnson could seek more DNA tests in hopes of proving his innocence.

Justices on Thursday reversed an order by Pulaski County Circuit Judge Alice Gray that halted the use of vecuronium bromide, one of three drugs used in the state’s lethal injection process, in any execution. McKesson Corp. said the state obtained the drug under false pretenses and that it wants nothing to do with executions.

McKesson said it was disappointed in the court’s ruling.

“We believe we have done all we can do at this time to recover our product,” the company said in a statement.

Justices also denied an attempt by makers of midazolam and potassium chloride – the two other drugs in Arkansas’ execution plan – to intervene in McKesson’s fight over the vecuronium bromide.

The pharmaceutical companies said there is a public health risk if their drugs are diverted for use in executions, and that the state’s possession of the drugs violates rules within their distribution networks.

Trump right about privacy On one issue, at least, President Donald Trump has united the country: More than 70 percent of the public – across political parties – oppose a bill he signed that rolls back rules protecting online privacy. Unfortunately, it’s an issue on which Trump and the Republican Congress happen to be mostly right.

The rules in question, which hadn’t yet come into effect, would have required broadband providers to ask customers’ permission before collecting personal data for use in selling ads. That sounds sensible. In reality, it most likely would have raised prices for consumers without doing much to protect privacy.

To begin with, it’s an error to think that broadband carriers have a uniquely intrusive view of their customers’ habits. Web companies such as Facebook often collect much more information about their users, yet the privacy rules didn’t apply to them. Also, the growing use of encryption – such as the HTTPS protocol – means that much of the information flowing through a broadband company’s pipes remains private. Anyway, individually identifiable customer information is broadly protected by law. Broadband carriers aren’t selling personalized browsing histories; they’re selling anonymous packs of data. It’s pretty boring, really.

A different worry is that some carriers have a dominant market share, and their customers have no alternative if they disagree with a privacy policy. That’s a reasonable concern.

But if broadband suppliers can no longer profit from customer data – a growing revenue stream in recent years – they’ll be much more likely to raise prices for standard services. In effect, the rules in question regarded privacy as more important than cheaper service. Many consumers may agree, but the choice should be theirs.

When asked if they’re concerned about online privacy, consumers almost invariably say yes. But the vast popularity of services that collect their data and use it to sell ads – Google, Facebook and so on – suggests otherwise. Evidently users don’t always understand the trade-offs they’re making. The services are free, the privacy policies are confusing, and the data collection unfolds so smoothly that few people notice it.

The odd result is that the public happily supports this arrangement, while approving of regulation that would probably kill it.

The way to resolve this dilemma is to put a price on personal information, so that customers can choose more deliberately.

AT&T tried this approach starting in 2013, allowing customers to opt out of certain kinds of data collection for $30 a month.

For its trouble, the company was ridiculed by activists, condemned by politicians and eventually gave up.

Actually, it was on the right track. Research suggests that people will pay for enhanced privacy protections, provided they trust that they’re getting a good deal. Letting them do so might give broadband companies a new source of revenue while reducing the anxiety of their customers. It could enable more low-income people to get online. Perhaps most important, it would bring some much-needed transparency to the internet economy. And who could be opposed to that?

Prince Harry a role model for mental health Britain’s Prince Harry did himself a world of good by seeking professional help for psychological problems stemming from the 1997 death of his mother, Princess Diana. He did the world a favor by talking publicly about his struggles – a step that may help people on both sides of the Atlantic come to a better understanding of mental illness and encourage those who need help to seek it.

Harry told his story Sunday in a podcast on the website of The Telegraph, Britain’s leading broadsheet.

In an interview lasting nearly 30 minutes, he spoke of the rage he felt for years after his mother’s tragic death in a crash in a Paris traffic tunnel and his struggle to understand his feelings. “I just didn’t know what was wrong with me,” he said.

The prince was 12 at the time of his mother’s death, which came about a year after Diana’s ugly divorce from Prince Charles. It was followed by years of speculation about whether the fatal crash – which also killed her boyfriend, Dodi Fayed, and their driver, Henri Paul – was anything more sinister than an accident.

Harry said he tried to cope by “shutting down all of my emotions for the last 20 years.”

Despite the “total chaos” he sometimes felt and

his fear of imminent breakdowns, he said, “I’ve spent most of my life saying I’m fine.”

When he finally did start talking about his mother, the 32-year-old said, “all of this grief that I have never processed started to come to the forefront.” With the encouragement of his brother, Prince William, he sought professional help about four years ago.

Harry was the first guest on a 10-episode podcast, “Mad World,” that will explore mental illness through the eyes of prominent people.

The interview showed a different side of a royal with a party-boy reputation. If Harry can struggle with mental illness, everyone else can, too. There is no shame in seeking treatment, and relatives should do as William did in encouraging a loved one to seek professional help.

Last year, Harry, William and Williams’ wife, Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge, founded Heads Together, a charity dedicated to addressing the stigma of mental illness, and Harry hinted at his troubles.

Then again, Diana spent her life in the trenches, leveraging her celebrity for various causes, and she was candid about her own bulimia, depression and alienation from Charles’ family. Harry may be very much his mother’s son.

Both parties use same tactics

To the Editor: I’m writing regarding Robert Van Ness Jr.’s letter, in which he stated how upset he was that the Democratic party wouldn’t take his survey opinion unless he contributed money.

“So typical of the Democrats to do something as shady as this,” he wrote.

I’m laughing because I received a similar survey from the Republican party, which would not take my opinion unless I contributed money.

I’m wondering what Mr. Van Ness thinks of the Republicans now? Is he still outraged or is it OK because the party he supports also does it?

My point in writing is to note the hypocrisy I see in politics every day, where apparently everything is fine as long as it’s done by the party you support and everything done by the other party is “shady.”

Support ‘diaper bill’

To the Editor: On April 7, members of McHenry County Citizens for Choice met in Springfield with Illinois Rep. Allen Skillicorn regarding HB 3895, the “Happy, Healthy Babies” or “Diaper Bill.”

This measure would make a monthly $80 EBT card, restricted to diaper purchases, available to families of Illinois’ 49,200 infants and toddlers living in “deep poverty” (incomes at or less than 50 percent of U.S. poverty level).

The projected annual cost of this bill is $25 million. But the cost of not passing it is higher, for both Illinois taxpayers and our most vulnerable residents.

At an average cost of $85, a month’s supply of clean diapers is an expense

Standard Story.”

Even if everyone in state and federal prison on a drug conviction were released tomorrow, the U.S. incarceration rate would still be about quadruple what it was in 1970. That is because, Pfaff demonstrates, most people in prison are there for violent crimes such as homicide or aggravated assault.

Punishment for these offenses drove incarceration rates higher, Pfaff shows, but not, as is often supposed, because of laws imposing harsh mandatory-minimum sentences.

The key factor was discretionary prosecutorial decisions; at least from the early 1990s on, prosecutors in the nation’s 3,000-plus counties charged arrestees with felonies at a higher rate even as the crime rate itself declined.

Ultimately, more punitive exercise of prosecutorial discretion fed a steady net influx of convicts to state prisons.

District attorneys were motivated by tough-on-crime politics and enabled by cost-shifting economics: Counties pay for police and prosecution, but imprisonment comes out of the state budget.

The most recent evidence indicates that the age of mass incarceration is abating; it has been, oddly enough, since just before the publication of “The New Jim Crow.”

The Pew Charitable Trusts has reported, based on Justice Department data, that the U.S. incarceration rate declined from a peak of 1 in 100

adults in 2007 to 1 in 115 in 2015. Keith Humphreys, of Stanford University, has shown that racial disparities, although still large, may be diminishing. The incarceration rate for blacks fell steadily between 2000 and 2014, while that of whites rose slightly.

The challenge now is to accelerate the de-incarceration trend while sustaining low levels of crime. A troubling uptick in urban homicide last year may have helped elect President Donald “American Carnage” Trump.

Certainly his harshest, most racially tinged anti-crime rhetoric both stimulated fear and exploited it. His attorney general, Jeff Sessions, has emphasized punishing crime rather than consent decrees against allegedly abusive local police.

Under the circumstances, Forman and Pfaff’s emphasis on local politics, and county- and state-level prosecutorial discretion, is paradoxically hopeful.

Federal policy makes headlines, but in the vast majority of cases, criminal justice takes place at the grass roots. And in recent years, that is the level at which the most promising reform efforts have occurred.

Those efforts can and should continue, whatever might happen next in Washington.

Among the many shameful legacies of racial discrimination and segregation in the U.S. is the fact that African-Americans make up a disproportionate share of both those who are victims of violent crimes and those who are incarcerated for committing them.

“Locking Up Our Own,” a remarkable new book by Yale Law School professor and former District of Columbia public defender James Forman Jr., tells the poignant but neglected story of how newly enfranchised black communities coped with this dilemma as a crime wave swept through urban America in the 1980s and 1990s, driving the murder victimization rate among blacks to an astonishing high of 39.4 per 100,000 population in 1991.

African-American mayors, police and prosecutors responded to the pleas of beleaguered constituents with rhetoric, and policy, that were no less “tough on crime” than that of their white counterparts. Black leaders often framed crime-fighting as an issue of salvaging the civil rights revolution.

“What would Dr. King say?” about the violence plaguing predominantly black cities, they would ask rhetorically – and then crack down on mostly youthful offenders, which inevitably involved “locking up our own.”

This was an era, Forman reminds us, during which activist-attorney Johnnie Cochran regularly attended rallies against drug dealing in Los Angeles, calling for PCP dealers to be punished “harshly,” and Eric Holder, then the District’s top prosecutor, supported aggressive, often pretextual police stops and searches of cars in predominantly black sections of the city, in a desperate effort to get guns off the street.

Forman’s beautifully written narrative, enriched by firsthand knowledge of the cops and courts, neither condemns black leaders in hindsight nor exonerates the white-dominated institutions that laid the basis for what dramatic block letters on the cover of an August 1979 “special issue” of Ebony labeled “black on black crime.”

However, he adds historical nuance to the story of “mass incarceration” told in Ohio State University law professor Michelle Alexander’s influential 2010 book “The New Jim Crow.”

This makes Forman’s book the second important corrective this year to Alexander’s. The first, “Locked In”

by Fordham University law professor John Pfaff, deployed statistical evidence to show that the U.S.’s highest-in-the-industrialized world incarceration rate did not result from the war on drugs, contrary to a theme of Alexander’s book that has been repeated so often Pfaff dubs it “the

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates – Emirates remains committed to the U.S. market despite plans to slash 20 percent of its flights in the wake of tougher security and visa measures put in place under the Trump administration, the airline’s president said Thursday.

In his first interview since announcing the cutbacks, Tim Clark said the Mideast’s biggest carrier has no intention of pulling out of the 12 U.S. cities to which it currently flies.

He said the decision to cut flights to five cities was a temporary response to a drop in demand, and does not signal a desire by Emirates to halt its expansion in the world’s largest aviation market.

“This is not a permanent arrangement. ... I do not see this as a paradigm shift,” Clark said. “Obviously our plans remain in place and we are as bullish and as confident about the U.S. markets as we have been.”

Emirates said Wednesday it was cutting 25 of the 126 weekly flights it operates into the U.S. from Dubai starting next month. It blamed the move on stiffer U.S. security measures and attempts to ban travelers from some Muslim-majority nations since President Donald Trump took office.

Emirates planes are parked Thursday at the Dubai International Airport in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Tim Clark, the president of Emirates, said the Mideast airline remains committed to the U.S. market despite plans to slash 20 percent of its flights in the wake of tougher U.S. security and visa measures. executive order suspending visas to people from Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen. Like an earlier ban that also included Iraqi citizens, it has been blocked from taking effect by the courts.

Dubai also was one of 10 cities in Muslim-majority countries affected by a ban on laptops and other personal electronics in carry-on luggage aboard U.S.-bound flights.

That surprise decision left Emirates scrambling to implement new procedures allowing passengers to

use their devices up until boarding.

The carrier also rolled out a service to lend tablet computers to first and business-class passengers on U.S.bound flights.

Emirates will comply with all U.S. security directives and is “not in a position to judge whether the United States are right or wrong,” he said.

Clark declined to detail how much of a financial hit the Dubai government-backed carrier has taken over the past three months, but he described the falloff in passenger de-

mand as “significant.”

“It is not something that Emirates does lightly when it starts pulling capacity out of markets that it’s spent millions of dollars developing and operating,” he said. “So when it gets to this, suffice to say they are falls [that] cause us to make those kinds of changes.”

Emirates does not provide financial details solely for its U.S. operations. The Americas region, which also includes routes to Canada and Latin America, generated $3.3 billion in revenue, or 14 percent of total sales, in the fiscal year ending March 2016, according to Emirates’ last annual report.

The cutbacks will mean twice daily Emirates flights to Boston, Los Angeles and Seattle will fall to once a day. Daily flights to Fort Lauderdale and Orlando will be trimmed to five a week.

Emirates and its smaller Gulf rivals have faced stiff resistance from big U.S. airlines and their labor unions, who accuse the Mideast carriers of being unfairly subsidized by their governments. The Gulf carriers strongly dispute the allegations.

U.S. airline executives made a personal pitch to Trump earlier this year to restrict Gulf carriers’ access after failing to persuade the Obama administration to curb their expansion.

Clark said he does not see Emirates’ decision to cut flights in the U.S. as a victory for his American critics, insisting Emirates would not “be scared off by what people say.”

Judge blocks release of Prince EP by sound engineer

Israeli writer Amos Oz poses Nov. 4, 2015, at his house in Tel Aviv. Two of Israel’s most renowned authors and an Argentine first-time novelist are among six finalists for the Man Booker International Prize for fiction.

Amos Oz, David Grossman among Intl Booker Prize nominees LONDON – Two of Israel’s most renowned authors and an Argentine first-time novelist are among six finalists for the Man Booker International Prize for fiction.

David Grossman’s “A Horse Walks Into a Bar,” Amos Oz’s “Judas” and Samanta Schweblin’s “Fever Dream” are on a six-book shortlist announced Thursday for the $64,000 prize.

Edinburgh International Book Festival director Nick Barley, who chaired the judging panel, said Grossman’s portrait of a failing standup comic and Oz’s story of history and betrayal were masterworks by mature writers with big international reputations. Schweblin is comparatively unknown. Barley said her beautiful and nightmarish debut novel “Fever Dream” is “a rush” of a novel that can be read in 90 minutes but leaves the reader shaken.

The other contenders are French writer Mathias Enard’s insomniac odyssey “Compass,” Norwegian author Roy Jacobsen’s island family epic “The Unseen” and Danish novelist Dorthe Nors’ tale of driving lessons and self-doubt “Mirror, Shoulder, Signal.”

The winner will be announced in London on June 14. The award is the international counterpart to Britain’s prestigious Booker Prize and is open to books published in any language that have been translated into English. The prize money is shared evenly between the author and their translator.

“I think international fiction is on a roll,” Barley said. “At a time of bombastic politics and the building of walls, we need to be able to get inside the minds of people who have other perspectives, who think in other languages.

“I’d like to send Donald Trump this shortlist for his birthday.”

MINNEAPOLIS – A federal judge has blocked a sound engineer from releasing a five-song EP of unpublished music by Prince after the late superstar’s estate objected – but one of the songs is still available online.

George Ian Boxill worked with Prince on five tracks in 2006, and made at least one recording – called “Deliverance” – available Wednesday for online sales. Prince’s estate and Paisley Park Enterprises sued to block it.

U.S. District Judge Wilhelmina Wright granted a temporary restraining order to stop the music’s release late Wednesday.

But independent label RMA said the song “Deliverance” was released before the judge’s ruling, so it doesn’t apply. The song was available online Thursday.

The estate’s lawsuit says Boxill signed a confidentiality agreement that the recordings would remain Prince’s property. Prince sings and plays guitar and keyboard on the tracks.

Documentary delves into life of music pioneer Clive Davis NEW YORK – Clive Davis celebrated his legacy with the debut of a documentary about his life, along with performances from artists he helped become icons, during the opening night of the 2017 Tribeca Film Festival.

Davis, 85, said it was a dream come true to launch “Clive Davis: The Soundtrack of Our Lives” at Radio City Music Hall since

he grew up in Brooklyn and didn’t visit Manhattan until he was 13.

The music mogul was all smiles at the multi-hour event Wednesday night, as performers such as Aretha Franklin, Carly Simon, Barry Manilow and Earth, Wind & Fire took the stage to pay tribute to Davis.

“All of them fresh from not performing at the inauguration,” Robert De Niro, who co-founded the festival, said before the film began, earning laughs and handclaps from the audience.

PARENTING

Why being the mother of an only child breaks me daily

By SANDY JORGENSON The Washington Post

Anyone who’s been pregnant while raising a toddler can attest to the sheer madness of such a thing.

Gone are the days of obsessing over what type of fruit we can liken our growing babe to in any given week.

Instead, our time is consumed by changing dirty diapers, being a human pacifier and chasing our toddlers for sport.

My daughter was 18 months old when those familiar pink lines appeared on a pregnancy test. I was hovering over the toilet while I willed my daughter to stop scaling the furniture and eating hand lotion for just two minutes, and I allotted myself a cursory four seconds of gobsmacked elation over the results before I got back to the business of parenting. I had no time for anything beyond that.

Over the course of the month that ensued, I trusted my body and its process. I noticed intermittent hints of blood on the toilet paper, but for some reason, I wasn’t concerned. I passed the milestones: eight weeks, nine weeks ... and then, out of nowhere, no weeks at all. One day I watched my baby’s heart fluttering away. Less than a week later I was sedated while a team of masked professionals hollowed out my uterus after that child of mine had given up and let go, heart aflutter no longer.

I felt unspeakable grief after the loss of my second child, but I found myself reckoning with something far worse when I was told my first miscarriage also would be my last pregnancy. I was diagnosed with secondary infertility, meaning my daughter would grow up alone. She went from being a firstborn to an only-born.

I hated everything about that and grappled with it endlessly. But once the dense fog of my grief began to clear, I forced myself to think about all the ways this would surely lead to an easier path for our family. Fewer mouths to feed and bodies to clothe would mean less money spent on groceries and other basic necessities, and we wouldn’t have to barter stickers and M&Ms for successful trips to the potty ever again. I quietly accept-

The author and her daughter. ed the idea I was kissing all of the most harrowing aspects of parenting an infant and toddler goodbye.

And, as it happens, all those things have been abundant blessings. My daughter is 4 years old now. She’s potty-trained, she sleeps through the night and she makes her own breakfast in the morning. I only have to sweep my kitchen floor 18 times a day to keep up with her mess-making, instead of the 46 times required when I had a monster of a 2-year-old.

The ramifications of parenting an only child are pervasive, though.

If I’m being honest, there’s almost nothing easy about it. It is lonely and overwhelming. On a good day, it’s nearly impossible. On a bad day, it all but kills me.

Not only do I have to reckon with the absence of the child I lost, I have to do it while acting as everything my daughter needs. I am her sounding board, her human jungle gym, her entertainer and her idea-maker.

I am hider and seeker, companion, consolation and comfort. I am open arms, a soft chest and a steadily beating heart. I am everything.

None of it is easy. The physical demands of it all nearly outweigh the emotional burden – I wanted her

to grow up alongside a companion. I wanted to give her a tiny compatriot – a built-in ally with whom she could scheme, squabble and scream while exploring the complexity of feuding and making up. Instead, I’m constantly firing on all cylinders while my daughter saps every last ounce of my energy and patience by each day’s end.

Parenting is hard work, regardless of the number of children we hold in our arms, I imagine. The days are long, the nights are longer and the years somehow fly by at a logic-defying warp speed.

I will always mourn the loss of the life that was taken from me, but I will myself to remain thankful for the climb as I scale this great mountain with my daughter. I know the momentous nature of this task; I’d be a fool not to feel deep gratitude.

Yes, this is hard. And yes, I feel the absence of my lost love while my living love tugs at my shirt sleeves begging for every last iota of my attention and energy. But better this than nothing at all. My only-born may be determined to drive me to an early grave, but I’ll live out each day with her with great adoration and admiration. Really, the joy of it all was mine all along.

Mom fighting 2 angry boys

By MEGHAN LEAHY The Washington Post

I have been trying to channel you as my 10-year-old flames out about going to school. Just hold space, I think. This too shall pass, I think. But his moaning and groaning about school, the math curriculum is getting to me. It’s a terrible start to our days. He has good friends at school and is smart and wellliked. His teacher is not as happy this year and is less able to be affectionate and kind, and I know that’s difficult.

But as we talk about, that’s about her and not toward him. The other thing to note is that his brother is 12 and in the throes of middle school and puberty, so he is no love bug to his little brother. We have lots of talks about this with both of them, but 12 is its own special age. Help!

I’m right there with you, actually.

We have a routine of misery in the morning in my house, too.

But I am always wary of “Everything is great at school.” Not that it isn’t. It is just worth a deeper look.

As for all of these crabby boys in the house, perhaps you need to change your morning routines.

First, control what you can: the environment. Almost every human does well with a solid and (somewhat) calm meal. There is nothing more loving than providing a meal and eating it with your children. It is so basic yet so absent in our culture.

A meal is saying to a child: “I am taking strong care of you. I am here.” It relaxes every human, and it provides a small space for connection.

What this space also provides is an opportunity to more deeply listen to what your son is saying.

What are the feelings underneath the complaints? We cannot really fix anything until we understand what is actually going on.

Although I love making room for feelings and emotions, you still should place strong boundaries around the outbursts and meanness.

For instance, the 12-year-old may be moody, but use the morning mealtime to let the boys know that you are going to be putting a stop to the outright surliness.

To further understand young men, I strongly recommend Michael Thompson’s books, such as “Raising Cain: Protecting the Emotional Life of Boys.” And if his aggression and anger and depression increase, please seek professional help.

Good luck.

Focus on loving, high-yield interactions: If parents remain stable in the

constancy of their love and the unconditionality of their presence, they will create a safe space for boys to share feelings.

“Parents need to know who their kid is, allow them to be uneven and continue to enjoy them,” Ginsburg said. He urges parents to be attentive listeners and to focus on meaningful exchanges. “A lot of people think highyield conversations are about grades and controlling behavior, but they’re really about staying connected with your kid and knowing what matters to them,” he explains.

The relationship will suffer if

parents fixate on deficits instead of celebrating their son’s strengths. Parents need to be accepting and nonjudgmental.

Be role models and tackle stereotypes about masculinity: If parents want teen

boys to be able to share their feelings, ask for help and express vulnerability, they need to address stereotypes about what it means to be a man.

“If you talk to people in their 50s and 60s,” Ginsburg said, “men kept their feelings inside and stayed silent until they convinced themselves they felt little.” He notes it’s much healthier to allow young men to have a feeling, then figure out how to acknowledge and express it. Fathers, especially, need to be role models. Ginsburg notes we need a more nuanced, reality-based sense of masculinity that includes the importance of human communication.

Show interest in their life: When parents demonstrate genuine curiosity about their son’s passions, they are more likely to establish a strong connection. Attend his class play or soccer game, and know what he’s studying in school. The more parents know about their son’s life, the more topics they will have to discuss. This doesn’t mean overstepping boundaries. Parents can show authentic interest without violating their son’s need for privacy and autonomy.

Ask questions and then be patient:

To facilitate conversation, parents can ask boys concrete questions that are clearly finite. “Ask them the best or worst thing that happened in school, or whether things went better with the math teacher,” said Michael Thompson, a clinical psychologist and author of “Raising Cain: Protecting the Emotional Life of Boys.” Otherwise, he said, “they are thinking, ‘Where is this leading, and why does my mom need to know this?’ ” Parents need to be willing to tolerate the quiet while their son reflects, and trust that communication will happen at the right moment.

Initiate the awkward talks: If parents want teens to talk about uncomfortable topics, they need to be willing to start the conversation. When it comes to sex, for example, Thompson notes most parents haven’t told their sons anything.

He urges them to give their kids the facts and make it clear they are open to questions.

Parents also need to be careful not to overreact to a comment when their son wades into sensitive territory, because it might shut down the conversation. The dialogue is more likely to continue if parents maintain a mindset of curiosity and stay even-keeled.

My friend Liz was worried her 14-year-old son Andy was traumatized.

While on a ski trip, he had seen a child fall off the chairlift. Andy was sitting in close range, and he saw the paramedics airlift the boy to a hospital. Liz tried to process the accident with Andy, but he wouldn’t show any reaction. She made a few more attempts at conversation before letting it go.

The following weekend, Andy, an avid skier, refused to return to the mountain. Liz quickly connected the dots. She called me and asked me to put on my school counselor hat. How could she know whether he needed support, she wondered, if she couldn’t get him to talk about it?

Teen boys have powerful feelings, but parents often mistakenly assume their silence means they prefer to be disengaged, says Kenneth Ginsburg, author of “Raising Kids to Thrive” and co-director of the Center for Parent and Teen Communication at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.

“That’s the mythology we have to fight against,” he explained. “Boys have rich inner lives, and they care deeply about loyalty, friendship and protecting the people they love.”

According to Ginsburg, preserving and strengthening the parent-son relationship in the teen years is more about embracing a philosophy than completing a checklist. “If you stay present, really believe in the kid, treat him like the expert in his life and talk at the pace he’s able to listen, then the details will work themselves out,” he said. He adds some boys do become more silent as they enter adolescence, but that just means parents need to communicate with them differently.

Here are five ways parents can continue to connect with their sons as they enter their teens.

Shingles pain can be long-lasting Dear Doctor: I’m a 78-year-old woman who developed shingles in December 2014.

The rash settled in the nerves on my left side, from under the breast, to the waist and around the middle of my back. Is there anything I can take to ease the pain? Would the vaccine help?

Dear Reader: Shingles is a reactivation of the herpes zoster virus – the virus that causes chickenpox. When people contract chickenpox, usually as children, the virus makes its way along their sensory nerves, ending up at the nerve cells along the spine.

The virus then sits within the cells in a dormant state. It can stay there for the rest of a person’s life and not cause problems, with the body’s immune system keeping the virus in a dormant state.

However, when immunity decreases, the virus can replicate within a nerve cell, following a particular nerve pathway to the skin and creating a rash along that pathway. The most common risk factor for developing shingles is age, with 80- to 89-yearolds having 10 times greater risk compared with those 10 years old and younger.

The nerve pain created by shingles can be severe and can persist even after all the lesions have disappeared. The pain can be burning, sharp or stabbing and can worsen with the lightest touch. When the pain lasts for more than four months, the diagnosis is termed “postherpetic neuralgia,” the pain syndrome you have. There are many medications for postherpetic neuralgia. Tricyclic antidepressants such as amitriptyline, nortriptyline and desipramine work to decrease pain signals from the skin to the central nervous system. However, they’re often not well-tolerated in older patients and can lead to sedation, dry mouth and worsening memory. They would not be my first choice for you.

Gabapentin (Neurontin) and pregabalin (Lyrica) work directly through the nerves

SUDOKU

ASK THE DOCTORS Robert Ashley to decrease pain. Gabapentin causes much more drowsiness compared to pregabalin, so many of my patients who have difficulty sleeping at night because of postherpetic neuralgia do well with it. However, because people with symptoms that also occur during the day often can’t tolerate the sedating effects of gabapentin, I switch many of these patients to pregabalin; although this drug can cause drowsiness, it is better tolerated. The anti-seizure drug valproic acid also can significantly decrease pain.

Capsaicin, the active component of chili peppers, is known for irritating the sensory nerves, but perhaps remarkably, can lead to pain relief when used in cream form for those with postherpetic neuralgia. Note that you must apply capsaicin multiple times a day, and for many people, the burning, stinging sensation is intolerable. Opiates also can relieve the acute pain, but when used longterm, they can cause tolerance and addiction.

As for the vaccine, although you had shingles more than two years ago, it still could reduce the risk of future episodes. However, no vaccination studies have been done in patients who already have had shingles, so the potential benefit is unclear. In addition, the vaccine won’t reduce your current nerve pain.

In summary, I recommend speaking to your doctor about medications like gabapentin or pregabalin and whether to get the shingles vaccine to perhaps decrease the risk of future episodes.

readers to your clinical trial. Living to a “ripe old age” can be a mixed blessing because the older we get, the greater the likelihood of Alzheimer’s disease entering the picture.

Readers, Dr. Sperling is looking for subjects with a family history of Alzheimer’s disease or who, through prescreening, have been discovered to have amyloid plaques forming in the brain. There are more than 65 study sites throughout the U.S. and several in Canada, so you may be able to find a location near you.

Dear Abby: I have been somewhat taken aback by two retirement party invitations I received lately. Both require an “entrance fee” of $15 to $20. I have never heard of or experienced something like this before. When I retired from teaching 10 years ago, I held my own retirement party at my home. I supplied the food and beverages and requested “no gifts, please.”

Is there a new custom that requires people to pay an admission price to a party? If someone pays to go to the party, is he/she also expected to bring a gift? Honestly, I’m a little put off being asked to pay to celebrate my friends’ retirements. Should I be, or is this an appropriate request? – Wondering In Ohio Dear Wondering: I don’t blame you for feeling put off. I don’t know who is supposedly giving the parties for your friends, but if you’re being asked to pay for your food and beverages, it appears that no host is. If you pay to attend these parties, your presence should be your gift. And if you choose not to go, I wouldn’t blame you.

Dear Abby:

DEAR ABBY More than 10,000 baby boomers Jeanne in the U.S. turn Phillips 65 every day, and enter the “age of risk” for Alzheimer’s disease. I have witnessed the devastating effects of this disease in my work as a neurologist, as a clinical researcher, and sadly, in my own family.

The good news is we are now starting prevention trials to try to stop memory loss before it begins! The A4 (Anti-Amyloid Treatment in Asymptomatic Alzheimer’s) study is the first clinical trial designed for people who have the earliest signs of Alzheimer’s disease beginning in the brain, but don’t yet have any symptoms of the disease. The A4 study is enrolling healthy 65- to 85-year-olds across the country who may be at risk for memory loss due to Alzheimer’s disease.

I feel a new sense of hope, but we really need volunteers to join us. Our motto for the A4 study is “Now is the time,” and now really is the time to make a difference in defeating Alzheimer’s disease.

I hope your readers who are interested will call (toll-free) 844-247-8839 or visit A4study.org to receive more information or to join us. – Reisa Sperling, M.D., Project

These Sales Feature:

A popular saying goes, “If the facts don’t fit the theory, change the facts.”

At the bridge table, if you do not have a fit with partner, in fact you try to describe your hand as accurately as possible, in terms of high-card strength and distribution.

After North opens one club, East overcalls one spade, South makes a negative double (promising four hearts) and West passes, North imagines that the uncontested auction started one club - one heart. Then, North would have rebid two clubs to show a minimum hand with six clubs.

This is no different. South, with his eye on game, jumps to three notrump.

West leads the spade nine. What happens after that?

South can see seven tricks: two spades, two hearts and three diamonds. So he needs to establish dummy’s club suit, which requires losing the lead twice. This is the rule: When you have two tricks in the suit led and two high cards to dislodge, duck the first trick. Therefore, if East puts up the spade queen at trick one, declarer underplays his six. Then, when South takes the second trick and leads a club, West wins but does not have a spade to lead.

If East remembers this rule, he will play the spade 10 (or eight) at trick one. Then the contract dies.

South has to win with his jack and play a club, but West takes the trick with the king and returns his second spade, setting up East’s suit while he, East, still has the club ace as an entry.

When you hope to establish a suit, try to make the opponents use up their stoppers as quickly as possible.

BOYS AND GIRLS TRACK AND FIELD: McHENRY COUNTY MEET

Day 1 at Huntley a breeze

PR’s Schaffer sets meet record in triple jump

By JOE STEVENSON

joestevenson@shawmedia.com HUNTLEY – Prairie Ridge’s Natasha Schaffer walked out to Red Raider Stadium, checked the wind direction and smiled.

The Wolves’ junior does some of her best work at Huntley’s facility, and Thursday there were gusts hitting 28 mph right behind the jumpers.

“Perfect conditions,” Schaffer said. “I couldn’t have asked for more.”

Schaffer won the long jump, then capped the first day of the McHenry County Track and Field Meet by breaking her own triple jump mark with a 38 foot, 61/2-inch effort on her final attempt.

The field events were finished Thursday, with running events starting at 4:30 p.m. Friday with the first heat of the 3,200 meters. Cary-Grove leads the girls standings after the field events with 44 points, followed

by McHenry (38), with Huntley and Prairie Ridge each next with 33.

Prairie Ridge also got a win from pole vaulter Sam Fisher. C-G’s Paige Groves won the shot put, McHenry’s Jenna Pauly won the high jump, and Richmond-Burton’s Megan Curran won the discus.

Schaffer won five of six events last year at Huntley, which hosted the county, Fox Valley Conference and Class 3A sectional meets. Jacobs’ Caleigh Walsh was the only competitor to beat Schaffer at Huntley, winning the sectional long jump title. “[The wind] was a blessing,” Schaffer said. “As soon as I walked out here I was happy to see the wind was at our backs. It definitely played a part in my confidence.”

As Schaffer prepared for her last jump, she began clapping her hands to get the fans around the pit going.

She then passed 38 feet for the second time in her career.

Schaffer said the wind forced competitors to move their approaches back more than normal.

“I had to go back quite a bit,” she said. “If you hit a really strong gust, you could be off by a foot.”

Fisher said the wind sometimes blew her pole down on her approach in the pole vault.

“The wind would start taking it,” Fisher said. “I had to use my arm strength more before planting it. At first it was hard, but I adjusted and made it work. I’m definitely satisfied with that (10-9) in these conditions.”

Groves threw her career-best 40-71/2 to win the shot put over Crystal Lake Central’s Mary Stevens by one-quarter inch. That also was Stevens’ career-best throw. C-G’s Tabor Gleason also took seconds in the high and triple jumps to help the Trojans to the team points lead.

“Usually I hold back on my first throw to make sure I don’t foul,” Groves said. “Today I just gave my first throw all I had. I was really excited because I’ve been working toward that barrier, constantly hitting 39s and getting closer.”

Pauly and Gleason both cleared 5-5 in the high jump, with Pauly winning on fewer misses. Pauly also took second in the pole vault, an event she started about a month ago, clearing 10-3.

Curran threw 113-0 to win the discus, then took third in the shot put.

Woodstock’s Will Maidment competes in the high jump finals Thursday during the McHenry County Track and Field Meet at Huntley. Maidment won the event, clearing 6 feet, 5 inches.

South’s Peschke battles gusts, wins pole vault

By JOE STEVENSON

joestevenson@shawmedia.com HUNTLEY – The pressure was on Crystal Lake South’s Sam Peschke as the pole vault competition headed to 15 feet, 1 inch, but Peschke prefers it that way.

Only Peschke and Huntley’s Jacob Riese remained, both having cleared 14-7. Because Riese had fewer misses, Peschke had to make 15-1 to win, which also would give him the record at the McHenry County Track and Field Meet.

“I had to make it,” Peschke said. “That’s always stressful, puts the pressure on, but I generally do an OK job of leveling my head. There’s a lot of meets with a lot of pressure. I do an all right job with that.”

Peschke cleared 15-1, landing in the pit before the bar eventually fell, although judges ruled it was the wind, with gusts reaching 28 mph, that was responsible for that and not Peschke. The Gators’ senior had the meet record and the title after Riese missed on his three attempts.

The field events were completed Thursday, and five-time defending champion Huntley leads the boys competition with 561/2 points over South (35), McHenry (29) and Woodstock (23). Running finals start at 4:30 p.m. Friday with the first heat of the 3,200 meters.

Woodstock’s Will Maidment won the high jump, Jacobs’ Loren Strickland won the long jump, Richmond-Burton’s Reed Marshall won the triple jump, McHenry’s Brian Keyes won the discus, and Huntley sophomore Alex Pitrone won the shot put.

Peschke broke the meet record of 14-9 set by Crystal Lake Central’s Brandon Dahl and McHenry’s Kevin Szamlewski last year. Dahl won that event on fewer misses, but both were regarded as record-holders.

Marshall also liked the wind at his back in the triple jump, as he went 43-51/2 to win. Woodstock’s Maidment and Huntley’s Melvin Aninagyei both jumped 43-3.

“I was seeded a couple feet behind [Aninagyei], but I knew I could get out there,” said Marshall, who also was third in the long jump. “I wanted to air it out and jumped in the 43s. That was pretty exciting.”

Marshall said all his jumps were in the 42s or 43s.

Keyes finished seventh in the Class 3A state meet last year in the discus and won his first county title with a 180-6 throw. He said the wind, blowing from the right side of the sector, was not a huge factor.

“I take practice throws in every type of weather, especially in the wind, I always try to get out there in the wind,” Keyes said. “Taking second last year (here) to a great thrower (Huntley’s Tim McCloyn) who took third at state, it was motivation for this meet, and I really wanted it. It was great.”

Maidment, who won the high jump at 6-5, held off Woodstock North’s Matt Haynes (6-3).

Pitrone came in seeded second in the shot put but had not thrown better than 51 feet. He threw 52-61/2 to win by 4 feet.

“It was repetition and showing up to practice and going every single day,” Pitrone said. “Qualifying for state is 52-7, so I’m one-half inch away. I’m extremely happy and pleased.”

q THE NUMBER

18

Crystal Lake South recorded 18 hits in Thursday’s 18-0 win.

q AND ANOTHER THING ...

Skwarek’s two doubles and four RBIs all came in the third inning after the Gators batted around, sending 15 batters to the plate.

The Gators went on to beat Prairie Ridge, 18-0, in five innings in Thursday’s regularly scheduled game at Prairie Ridge.

“It’s great to come through,” South coach Brian Bogda said. “We let a cou-

ple opportunities slip away during that game (Wednesday).”

Wednesday’s first eight innings had been a back-and-forth affair. South (16-1, 7-1 Fox Valley Conference) jumped to a 4-0 lead, but the Wolves (7-12, 2-9 FVC) bounced back. Each team scored runs in the fifth, sixth and seventh to send it to extra innings.

“We battled the whole game,” Prairie Ridge coach Glen Pecoraro said. “We had numerous chances to win the game late in the seventh, eighth and ninth inning.”

It wasn’t the prettiest game either, with both teams combining for 12 errors.

Bogda said Fuentes doesn’t shy away from the clutch situations, and Fuentes didn’t slow down after the walk-off hit.

He went 3 for 3 in the second game, clubbing three doubles and driving in three runs.

In both games combined – including Wednesday’s eight innings – Fuentes went 8 for 9 with four doubles and six RBIs. “I just tried to look for doubles, hits to a gap,” Fuentes said.

Left-hander Blake Kuffel earned the

win in Game 2. He pitched all five innings, allowing one hit and striking out five.

“I felt like I was in command and really got ahead of the count,” Kuffel said.

“The fastball today was my best pitch.”

The Gators scored four runs in the second inning, then broke the game open with 11 runs in the third.

Every starter in the Gators’ lineup recorded a hit. South received huge production from its bottom three hitters.

First baseman Noah Tyrrell went 3 for 4 with a triple and two RBIs. Second baseman Scott Skwarek was 2 for 3 with two doubles and four RBIs. In the No. 9 spot, center fielder Brent Chubb went 3 for 3 with a double and four RBIs. “It fuels our fire,” Skwarek said of the big inning. “We get up even more and are able to put the pressure on their defense and have a good inning. We had a really good approach. We were shooting the gaps all day.”

Prairie Ridge starting pitcher Joe Hansen suffered the loss in 21/3 innings pitched. The Wolves’ lone hit came from center fielder Colin Lamb, who doubled in the first inning.

GIRLS SOCCER: JACOBS 2, HUNTLEY 1 (OT)

Kowalski’s OT goal just in time for Jacobs keeper

By JOHN WILKINSON

jwilkinson@shawmedia.com HUNTLEY – As overtime ticked on and on with Huntley and Jacobs still tied, the members of the Jacobs girls soccer team knew they really wanted to avoid penalty kicks, and not simply because of the heartbreaking randomness of that tiebreaking method.

“We really didn’t want to go to PKs. Our goalie had to leave, so we were going to have to throw someone random in net,” Jacobs coach Mike Hanley said.

“The girls knew that, and they wanted to fight to the very end, and they knew the situation, and they knew that wasn’t an option for them. They wanted to fight tooth and nail to get it done.”

Besides being Jacobs’ starting goalkeeper, junior Emily Pasetes also is a member of the band and had a concert to make. Teammates had packed Pasetes’ bag on the sideline, and her mom had the minivan running, with one side door open, waiting a few yards behind the Jacobs bench.

Then, with just more than a minute remaining in overtime, Jacobs winger Cassie Kowalski scored her second goal of the game to give the Golden Eagles a 2-1 Fox Valley Conference victory over

q AND ANOTHER THING ...

The game was played out on Huntley’s grass front fields instead of in the stadium on artificial turf because the school was hosting the county track meet at the same time. Huntley coach Kris Grabner said he thought it was only the second or third time his team had been on grass this season.

Huntley.

“We wanted it so bad,” Kowalski said. “We came out, we gave it our all, we didn’t give up and that showed.”

Once the final minute expired, as her teammates celebrated at midfield, Pasetes sprinted to the sideline, hopped

into the waiting vehicle and was gone within 60 seconds of the final whistle, with less than half an hour to get to her concert.

Also watching the ending from a car parked behind the bench was Jacobs coach Stephanie Schuck, who recently began maternity leave. Despite turning coaching duties over to her assistant Hanley, she pulled her bright gold Jeep up to watch the end of the game, honking after the winning goal and receiving hugs from the players afterward.

Jacobs (8-4, 3-0 FVC) had to come from behind to remain unbeaten in conference play.

“We talked this whole time about how this game was going to be about heart,” Hanley said. “Both teams really wanted it. They both came out and really showed that, and I think it came down to our girls never wanted to give up. They never stopped pushing forward. They envisioned that they were going to win the game, and they came through and did it.”

Huntley (5-4-2, 1-2) took the lead in the 12th minute on a well-taken free kick by Hannah Scholer.

When the Red Raiders were awarded a free kick in good shooting position at the top of the box, assistant coach Matt

Lewandowski suggested to head coach Kris Grabner that Scholer take it because of how well she had been hitting them recently.

Grabner shouted for the sophomore to go up and take it, and in a moment it was over the wall and into the far corner of the net.

The hosts’ lead didn’t last long, however, as two minutes later Kowalski hit back with a free kick of her own. Kowalski took the free kick from the top left edge of the 18-yard box and curled it in at the near post.

“I was really nervous, but I knew I just had to focus and get it on frame at least,” Kowalski said.

Each team had a couple of good chances in the second half, but the score remained knotted, 1-1, until Kowalski’s late winner. Pasetes finished with five saves, while Huntley goalkeeper Abbey Brown also made five.

“I thought we played a much better second half,” Grabner said. “I thought we created the better opportunities, they created some good opportunities, but we had a couple breakaways, and we’ve got to capitalize on those. I hate to lose, but at the same time our goal is the end of the season, and we made some nice progress.”

CRYSTAL LAKE – Crystal Lake South third baseman Brian Fuentes had an opportunity to end a tie ballgame against Prairie Ridge with two runners on base in the seventh inning Wednesday. The senior struck out swinging to end the inning.

Fast-forward about 24 hours to Thursday.

Wednesday’s game was suspended because of darkness with the score knotted, 7-7, after eight innings. In the bottom of the ninth Thursday, Fuentes found himself up to bat again with two runners on.

“My approach was just look for a base hit,” Fuentes said. “Yesterday, I had an opportunity for a walk-off; unfortunately, I didn’t (hit it). Today I was given another opportunity. I just tried to take advantage and make an RBI.” Fuentes sent a 2-1 pitch into center field, scoring Griffin Bright from second base. Fuentes’ teammates mobbed him at first base.

The celebration didn’t end there.

For the first few innings, however, that is what took place. q THE NUMBER Hampshire starter Jasmine Lopez Home runs in the past six games for retired 12 of the first 13 batters and Hampshire sophomore Delaney Rummell, didn’t allowed a hit in the first four who hit one Thursday innings.

up in the fifth inning, and the Red Raiders cruised from there to defeat Hampshire, 11-3.

Huntley (10-4, 6-0 FVC) didn’t get its first hit until Autumn Kasal started the fifth with a leadoff single. On a day when anything hit in the air had a chance to leave the park, freshman Teagan O’Rilley stepped to the plate looking to help her team.

“I just went up there looking for my pitch and wanted to make solid contact and help the team anyway I could,” O’Rilley said.

O’Rilley made solid contact and picked the perfect time to hit her first varsity home run to tie the score at 2.

This seemed to be the spark the Red Raiders needed. Huntley sent 10 to the plate in the fifth and scored six runs.

Rylie Porretto put the game out of reach with a bases-loaded double to make the score 6-2.

Huntley scored 11 runs in the fi-

nal three innings on 11 hits. Caitlin Brown added a three-run double in a four-run sixth inning. Brown and Porretto led Huntley with four RBIs each.

In the circle, Giese went the distance and allowed three runs, two earned, on five hits with nine strikeouts.

“Lopez pitched really well for them early, and we had to make adjustments,” Huntley coach Mark Petryniec said. “We started to hit later in the game and got contributions from the entire lineup. Tiffany [Giese] was lights out, which is what we expect.”

Hampshire (8-5, 3-2) was led by Rummell, who finished with three hits and a walk. Peyton De Chant added a home run late for the Whip-Purs.

“Whether it is mental or physical, we seem to make a mistake and things kind of free fall from there and that happened to us again today,” Hampshire coach Kelly Wasilewski said.

Susie Nawrot have two apiece.

As a team, the Indians are hitting .384/.457/.631 with 72 extra-base hits, including 48 doubles. Marengo used the long ball against Sterling last week, belting three homers in a 7-1 win. On Tuesday, they hit six home runs in a 21-2 win over Woodstock, improving to 5-0 in the KRC. The long ball hasn’t gone unnoticed by Indians coach Dwain Nance in the team’s early success.

“One of the things we did well today was we capitalized on some home runs,” Nance said of his team’s win against Sterling, snapping a five-game losing streak to the Warriors. “That’s how we scored all seven. That’s something the we have not done against their pitchers. It was exciting.”

Anybody’s game: Huntley survived a real scare from Jacobs on Monday, scoring three runs in the bottom of the sixth to tie the Golden Eagles and winning on a walk-off homer in the seventh.

Last year, Huntley won their first nine conference games before falling to Cary-Grove in their last FVC game, finishing 9-1 and claiming the FVC Valley Division title. The Red Raiders entered this year as one of the conference favorites, and they’re off to a 5-0 start to pace the nine-team FVC. Still, close games such as Huntley’s 5-4 win over Jacobs is a theme Raiders coach Mark Petryniec expects to see more of as the season plays out. Before the season, he called the FVC “the new SEC of the north” with so many teams returning top starters.

“I told you earlier in the year, the Fox Valley Conference is going to be like this,” Petryniec said. “I think on any given day, it’s anybody’s game. It was our first time seeing [Jacobs freshman pitcher Savannah Svedman]. Early in the game, she had us off, and we didn’t make an adjustment until that sixth inning. It’s going to be a battle all year.”

Although her team lost, Jacobs coach Katie O’Brien is hopeful the Golden Eagles can make a big impact in the FVC race. The Eagles went 5-5 in the FVC Valley last year, tying for third place.

“If we can play games like this, as close as we can, and we turn over the conference the other way, we’re going to surprise some teams,” O’Brien said.

Inside Softball ATHLETE OF THE WEEK DELANEY RUMMELL Hampshire, so., SS Rummell was the catalyst for Hampshire’s perfect week, hitting .789 (15 for 19) out of the leadoff spot with nine extra-base hits. The Whip-Purs went 5-0 and won the Chicagoland Challenge title, scoring 41 runs on 49 hits in three tournament games.

The Illinois commit hit five home runs, three doubles and a triple, scoring 15 runs and driving in 12. Rummell, who missed her freshman year after undergoing her second ACL surgery in two-plus years, also stole six bases.

8 STANLEY CUP PLAYOFFS – FIRST ROUND: PREDATORS 4, BLACKHAWKS 1 (PREDATORS WIN SERIES, 4-0)

Preds send Hawks out with whimper

By MARK LAZERUS

Blackhawks vs. Predators

mlazerus@suntimes.com NASHVILLE, Tenn. – There’s no shame in losing. Not to a red-hot goalie, not against a burgeoning contender coming into its own, not in a league built for the kind of parity that allows a top seed to be so threatened in the first round of the playoffs.

No, what will eat at Joel Quenneville and the Blackhawks the most after their stunning, thudding, four-game sweep at the hands of the Nashville Predators isn’t the result itself. It’s the manner in which it happened, the way the Hawks looked for the bulk of four miserable games. Lifeless. Hopeless. Useless.

“We didn’t compete to the level that’s necessary,” Quenneville said after Thursday night’s season-ending 4-1 loss in Game 4. “I take that personally as a coach, that we didn’t find the all-out button.”

Quenneville threw everything he had at the Hawks’ myriad problems in Game 4. He put Artemi Panarin, Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane together to spark some offense. He put Tanner Kero on a line with Artem Anisimov and Marian Hossa to cover Anisimov’s disastrous faceoff performance. He dressed seven defensemen to mask his aging blue line’s deficiencies. He double-shifted Kane.

None if it mattered. Not against these

Blackhawks goalie Corey Crawford takes a drink as Predators fans cheer after defenseman Roman Josi scored during the second period in Game 4 of a first-round playoff series Thursday in Nashville, Tenn.

Predators, who suddenly looked like the preseason Stanley Cup contenders they were expected to be, while the Hawks suddenly looked like a worn-out team whose championship window is closing far sooner than expected.

Fifty wins in the regular season, three goals in the playoffs. The Hawks were as stunned as everybody else.

“Getting to this point and falling flat

on our face as we did – don’t really have any words right now, or any explanation, or any good explanation, for what just happened,” Toews said. “But it’s not a good feeling, obviously.”

The Predators were everything the Hawks have been during their near-decade of dominance – fast and deep, skilled on offense and structured on defense, mentally tough and rock-solid

Perrone, Ty Forney and Gavin Hughes all scored three goals for Cary-Grove in a nonconference win against Antioch.

Hughes and Forney added three assists apiece, and Perrone had two. Steven Soli, Braden Baird, Logan Baird and Brian Rathje each scored once and Alex Becker added two assists.

Blake Nolan stopped 20 of 26 shots in the win for C-G (4-1).

Maidment had an assist for the Streaks.

Burlington Central 2, Johnsburg 0: At Johnsburg, the Rockets scored in the 35th and 78th minutes to hand the Skyhawks a KRC loss. Jesse Strzelczyk made eight saves for the Skyhawks (5-4, 5-3 KRC).

Woodstock North 4, Harvard 0: At Harvard, Taylor Prerost scored North’s first goal and later added an assist in the KRC victory. Also scoring for the Thunder were Anastasia Mazzanti, Fani Salgado-Ramos and Daniela Miranda. Annica Mackay-Slavin made three saves in the shutout, while Shea Jones, Mazzanti and Annie Velasco each had an assist.

Sam Perales had 21 saves for the Hornets.

Cary-Grove 5, Dundee-Crown 0: At Cary, Teagan Jones scored three goals and Natalie Gallant added two goals in the FVC win. Kelly Stayart had three assists for C-G (6-2, 2-1 FVC). Diana Santillan-Ceja had five saves for the Chargers (5-7, 2-2).

GIRLS SOCCER Richmond-Burton 2, Woodstock 1: At

Woodstock, Sarah Kitterman scored on a free kick with 28 seconds remaining to propel the Rockets to a KRC victory against Woodstock.

The Blue Streaks scored with 55 seconds remaining to tie the Rockets (7-5-1, 6-2 KRC) at 1, but were called for a foul after the ensuing kickoff to set up Kitterman’s goal from 25 yards out.

Before Kitterman’s game winner, Camryn Davis scored with 13 minutes remaining off a corner kick from Taylor Webb. Emma Dorn answered in the last minute for Woodstock.

With all that as the particulars, we can offer a best guess as to what it all means.

I actually expect the Bears to be much improved in 2017, but with the draft still a week off, you’re going to have to give me a few months to build my defense of that claim.

Beyond that, it’s reasonable to assume the Falcons, Steelers and Packers are playoff teams again, and the Bucs and Ravens look ready to make another run.

The Panthers and Eagles look likely to be improved while the Vikings, Saints, Lions and Bengals don’t feel all that scary.

This will change a number of times over the next four months as the Bears’ 13 opponents evolve along with them, but for now 7-9 seems possible.

BOSTON – Family, not football, dominated Aaron Hernandez’s final hours as a lifer in prison.

As the hour of his death approached, the former NFL star chatted on the phone with his longtime fiancée, Shayanna Jenkins-Hernandez. Authorities said the pair stayed on the phone until the 8 p.m. lockdown at the maximum-security prison in Shirley, Massachusetts, where he was serving a life sentence for murder.

Alone in his cell, the ex-New England Patriots tight end scribbled three notes.

He laid them next to a Bible.

Then he turned his bedsheet into a noose and hanged himself.

Those cryptic details emerged Thursday as authorities ruled Hernandez’s death a suicide and turned his body over to a funeral home so his family could lay him to rest.

Investigators wouldn’t say what Hernandez’s handwritten notes said. But they said they were satisfied he died at his own hand, and they said his brain would be donated to sports concussion researchers, ending a brief public dispute over its custody.

My immediate reaction after the NFL released the Bears’ 2017 regular-season schedule was: “Wow, what exactly did they do to deserve this?”

The murderer’s row the schedule makers have gifted the Bears with in September will tell us quickly exactly what the likelihood is the Bears can be significantly improved this season.

Opening at home against the Falcons, traveling to Tampa Bay and then coming back home to face the Steelers, all at noon on Sundays and then going to Green Bay on Thursday night, the Bears almost certainly will be a touchdown or more underdog in each of their first four games.

The Bears could be much improved and still go 0-4, effectively ending their season before it really gets going.

The good news is the only 2016 playoff teams the Bears will see the rest of the way will be a rematch with the Pack at home Nov. 12 and their two games against Detroit, and there is no week a team would rather have it’s bye than Week 9, smack dab in the middle of the season, and the Bears have drawn that straw this year.

The second quarter of the season is no walk in the park but does offer a lot more hope with Week 5 and Week 7 home games against Minnesota and Carolina and Week 6 and Week 8 trips to Baltimore and New Orleans.

A 4-4 start is not out of the realm of possibilities, but 1-7 or 2-6 seem more likely.

The Bears are set up for a strong second half, facing clubs with a combined 52-75-1 record last year, and their rematch with the Packers and two meetings with the Lions will offer the only 2016 opponents with winning records.

They also get a break not traveling after their Oct. 29 game in New Orleans for almost a month with the home rematch with Green Bay and the first Lions game at home before they go to Philadelphia on Nov. 26.

The following Sunday the Bears will get a visit from the 49ers exactly 364 days after the last time they came to town, when the Bears played their best game of 2016, a 26-6 win.

The last quarter of the season will send the Bears back on the road quite a bit, as they travel to Cincinnati and Detroit, host the Browns on Christmas Eve and then finish in Minnesota for the second season in a row.

10 CUBS

Aggressive defense shows no fear

By BRUCE MILES

bmiles@dailyherald.com Of the many T-shirts in fashion these days around the Cubs clubhouse is one that reads “D-peat.”

It reflects manager Joe Maddon’s assertion that if the Cubs play good defense, as they did last year, they have a chance to repeat as world champions.

Defense is an obsession with Maddon. In an age when everybody digs the longball and starting pitching sets the tone, Maddon gets just as excited over a good play in the field.

But there’s more. The Cubs play an aggressive style of defense. Their catchers throw behind runners at first base.

Maddon went with a five-man infield to try to choke off the winning run. A wild pitch made it moot.

On bunt plays, Maddon has had Anthony Rizzo trade his first baseman’s glove for a fielder’s glove and move closer to second base, with the second baseman moving to first.

Rizzo is not afraid to charge in from that spot.

AP photo

Cubs outfielder Jason Heyward (left) and first baseman Anthony Rizzo hold their Golden and Platinum glove awards before a game against the Milwaukee Brewers on Tuesday at Wrigley Field.

At other times, Maddon has Javier Baez charging in from his second base position to field the ball.

What the Cubs have done with all this is turn their defense into a weapon.

But, as Maddon pointed out, to pull off plays such as having Baez come charging in with so much going on around him takes a special player.

“He’s fearless,” the manag-

er said. “A lot of guys would not be that comfortable that close to the hitter. Rizz is the same way. Part of it is the fact that either guy is fearless in regard to getting that close to the hitter. They (the opposition) try to do the slash (bunt).

That’s what you’re going to do.

You’re either going to bunt it or try to do that.

“If you get at least the one out, you’re happy with it, and

the runner did not advance.

There’s going to come the time when they’re going to do that (hit it past the infield) and the ball’s going to go over our guy’s head and going to go into right field. It’s going to work on the other side. I get that.”

Of course, in right field is the strong arm and steady presence of Jason Heyward, against whom base runners try for the extra bag at their own risk.

It all starts in the infield, and that many different looks can be disconcerting to a batter with a runner at first base.

“It’s like anything else you do on defense,” Maddon said.

“When the hitter’s not used to seeing it, it bothers them.

There’s no question it bothers them. It’s something they’re not used seeing. Yeah, it’s different when you have defense in your face that much. You’ve got three guys lined up on that side of the field, the pitcher.

And Javy’s got to stay out of the way so the pitcher can throw the ball to first base, too. Otherwise, you have no pickoff attempt. So there’s all this little nuance.

“You can’t do it all the time.

You’ve got to pick your right guys. It can even work with runners on first and second in the right situation, too.”

Rizzo is one of the right guys, and the word “fearless” was at the forefront when Maddon talked about him, as well.

“He is fearless,” Maddon said. “He doesn’t worry about minutiae. He doesn’t worry about superficial nonsense.

He’s going to go out there and play a really good game of baseball. We put him in there on that defense with the bunt, and he’s right in the hitter’s face. A lot of hitters don’t like that. He picks up the bunt and throws a strike to second base and we turn a double play. He goes on (top of) a wall. The stuff he picks out of the dirt, he makes our infielders all better every day.”

For Rizzo, it’s all in a day’s work.

“It’s just the way I’ve been taught to play the game,” he said. “You don’t hold anything back. Whatever you have that day, you give 100 percent of and leave it out there on a daily basis and figure it out how to do it the next day.”

BULLS

Exploiting mismatches key to Bulls’ 2-0 lead

By JOE COWLEY

jcowley@suntimes.com CHICAGO – Boston all-everything point guard Isaiah Thomas isn’t about to have a growth spurt before Friday’s Game 3.

In all likelihood 5-foot-9 – and that’s measuring him on a good day – is still going to remain 5-foot-9.

On the other side, Bulls all-purpose All-Star Jimmy Butler isn’t about to shrink, and center Robin Lopez sounded like a guy who has no plans to lighten up on the rebounding anytime soon.

The mismatches for Boston are the mismatches, and they won’t be magically changing for a team that’s down 2-0 in the best-of-seven first-round playoff series.

It was a flawed seed atop the Eastern Conference when this series began, and those flaws will continue to be exposed.

Dwyane Wade said, however, that

Bulls’ flaws.

“There’s flaws with them; there’s flaws with us,” Wade said Thursday.

“Each game is different. We don’t know Sunday: Bulls 106, Boston 102 how the ball is going to bounce. The Tuesday: Bulls 111, Boston, 97, Bulls ball may never bounce to Robin, it may bounce over his head. We understand lead series, 2-0 what we have, and we understand what Friday: Boston at Bulls, 6 p.m., CSN, our capabilities are, but we also underESPN stand that we’re playing a tough team.

Sunday, April 23: Boston at Bulls, “We’re playing a very intelligent 5:30 p.m., CSN, TNT coach and staff that’s going to make adjustments, and it’s just about making x-Wednesday, April 26: Bulls at them ourselves.”

Boston, TBA, CSN In Wade’s opinion, that’s what the x-Friday, April 28: Boston at Bulls, early part of this series has been about.

TBA, CSN While Boston has come out looking to x-Sunday, April 30: Bulls at Boston, jab and get a feel of their opponent, the TBA Bulls are one step ahead. Then when the Celtics have made the adjustment, the x-if necessary Bulls already have it countered.

Boston coach Brad Stevens is playing what has to be guarded against is the checkers, and Bulls coach Fred Hoiberg Celtics starting to open up book on the is playing chess.

Bulls vs. Celtics

“I thought we did a great job in Game 2 of making those adjustments, and that’s win or lose right there,” Wade said. “Who can make the best adjustments the quickest, the fastest? We were able to do that in Game 2, and now in Game 3 let’s see what they come with, and let’s see if we can counteract it to the point where we can win, because the ball bounces in so many different ways.”

The good news for the Bulls is they don’t consider themselves a typical No. 8 seed.

Not with Wade and his three championships, Rajon Rondo and his one ring, and then a three-time All-Star in Butler, who can arguably be put in the top five of the league’s most dangerous two-way players.

Is it the “Big Three” of Wade, LeBron James and Chris Bosh whom Wade played with down on South Beach?

Absolutely not. But it’s certainly more threatening than Boston’s “Big One.”
