Reality bites when dealing with a loved one’s dementia “I did then what I knew how to do. Now that I know better, I do better.” – Maya Angelou

Communication can be difficult, even in the best of times. With some people, no matter how hard we try, we just can’t seem to connect. Many times that’s because communication styles differ and we just don’t say what we mean as clearly as we – or our listeners – would like. However, imagine that everyone around you seems to be speaking in a foreign language. Imagine that as hard as you try, you just can’t understand what is being said, and you can’t make the other person understand you. Frustrating, no? Welcome to the world of dementia. Those who have been there (or just visited) can relate to the roller-coaster ride of good days and bad days. On good days, life is tranquil and “normal”; on bad ones, buckle up, it’s going to be a bumpy ride. My mother and I had been going through a rough patch when I decided that what I was doing wasn’t working and I needed some help. So I signed up for an online webinar through the Illinois chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association (alz.org). The topic was “How to Say It: Making Matters Worse (or Better) By How We Communicate.” Little did I realize how making a few (relatively) easy changes could make a world of difference. My mother and I have always had a strained relationship. Maybe that’s why I find myself falling into familiar, albeit unhelpful, modes of communicating with her. She’s always had a penchant for saying things that, in my view, have no relation to reality, so I’d often find myself taking issue. This strategy, however, is especially ineffective with a person with dementia. For instance, if Grandpa believes that he is the king of England, then no amount of telling him otherwise will “fix” the problem. Showing him his birth certificate and driver’s license to “prove” that he isn’t a king will only frustrate and agitate him. This is called “reality orientation.” “Why would anyone do that?” the moderator asked pointedly. This was painful to hear,

‘‘

VIEWS Joan Oliver mostly because that’s exactly what I had been doing, especially since my mother was telling me that people were trying to kill her, that people were stealing her things and that there were planes, trains and automobiles in her bedroom. Why wouldn’t I try to “reorient” her perception? Well, because it just doesn’t work, and it only makes a challenging situation a lot worse. The webinar pointed out that “reality orientation” is shaming, causes confusion and destroys trust. My mother’s reality is real to her, and I needed to find a way to address her underlying issues without treating her like a child. These days I’m more likely to acknowledge my mother’s worldview and try to work with it. When she tells me that one of her invisible people has a “gun,” I suggest that it’s probably a squirt gun. And this, miraculously, seems to defuse the situation. When she tells me that someone is trying to kill her, we talk about whether the threatening person is there at the moment; usually he or she is not, and then I reassure her that she’s safe and that I won’t let anything happen to her. This usually does the trick, too. I learned to offer her fewer choices and to make sure that she can see me before I speak with her. Little things, sure, but they’ve made a big difference. Will there be times when I’m tired and she’s tired and we have a communication breakdown? Sure. However, now that I know better, I’m doing better. And, thankfully, so is Mom.

Will there be times when I’m tired and she’s tired and we have a communication breakdown? Sure. However, now that I know better, I’m doing better.”

A CLOSER LOOK

Longmeadow Parkway opponents angered over village president’s bee joke By HANNAH PROKOP

hprokop@shawmedia.com ALGONQUIN – Algonquin Village President John Schmitt was asked to resign days after he posted what he has called a “self-deprecating” picture on Facebook where his head was attached to the body of a bee. The photo, which since has been taken down, was posted in the wake of a judge’s order to halt work on the Longmeadow Parkway road project because of the possible presence of an endangered bumblebee. Algonquin resident Jack Bavaro read a prepared statement at Tuesday’s Committee of the Whole meeting. He said he was speaking on behalf of many of the estimated 30 people in the audience and others who could not make the meeting. “The citizens of the village of Algonquin expect so much more from the office of the president and the trustees,” Bavaro said after holding up a poster of Schmitt’s former profile picture. Bavaro asked Schmitt to resign, and also asked trustees to condemn Schmitt’s “abhorrent” behavior as well as ask him to resign if he doesn’t do it himself. “Bottom line: [Schmitt] has failed our village, and the public no longer has confidence in the integrity of its government,” Bavaro said, receiving applause from some in the audience. Roz Strapko was the only other person to make comments regarding Longmeadow Parkway during public comment. She read a letter from Algonquin Township Highway Commissioner-elect Andrew Gasser, saying that he opposed the project because politicians have forced it, among other reasons. Plans for the controversial project call for a four-lane, 5.6mile east-west corridor connecting Randall Road with Route 62, although it starts west of Randall Road at the intersection of Huntley and Boyer roads. The $115 million project, complete with a toll bridge over the Fox River, will go through Algonquin,

Schmitt did not respond to the call for resignation during the meeting, but afterward said he would not resign. “There are some things that could be out there that would warrant a village president resigning, but having bad taste isn’t one of them,” Schmitt said. The photo was posted on Schmitt’s personal Facebook, and was not a representation of the village, he said. Although he understands that the photo upset people, Schmitt said he has apologized and it’s time to move on.

By KEVIN P. CRAVER

kcraver@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – The McHenry County Board is taking another shot at amending its rules to allow for the use of an electronic voting system that has sat practically unused since January. The Ad Hoc Committee on Governmental Accessibility will meet Thursday to recommend a new set of changes to County Board rules to accommodate use of the system. The last attempt to approve rules was tabled in February by board Chairman Jack Franks, D-Marengo, in deference to board members who still had concerns about the changes. Franks, a former state representative who had the system installed shortly after his December swearing in, said he believes the proposed changes incorporate and address those concerns. Although he alleged that some of the pushback he has

received has been from board members who don’t want more transparency of their voting records, he added that many concerns aired were legitimate and constructive. “It’s such a transparent process,” Franks said. “Everyone says they believe in [transparency], and now it’s time for them to show they believe it.” The system, which works through the county’s existing audio streaming and online agenda software, allows board members to vote on issues with their county-issued iPads and displays voting results online and on a flat-screen TV behind the chairman’s seat. It was paid for through the budget of County Clerk Mary McClellan at a cost of $2,700 for the hardware, and about $1,000 a month for the software. The county clerk’s responsibilities include tallying votes and taking the minutes of full meetings of the board. Under the simplified rules before the

committee Thursday, electronic voting will be used for all roll call votes, except for attendance or in situations in which the equipment is malfunctioning. The outcome of each vote will be announced by the chairman or designated person. The system only will be used during full County Board meetings and not for standing committees, which under Franks now meet in the boardroom so their meetings can be streamed online. When the system was first used at the board’s Jan. 17 meeting, board members complained of a lack of training and the fact that County Board rules did not reflect electronic voting. Since then, all have received training either at the committee level or through one-on-one training with McClellan, who takes minutes and tallies votes at board meetings. Franks said the system could go live for the full board’s June meeting, provided that members approve the rules at their May 16 voting meeting.

Interest in beekeeping on the rise in McHenry County

36% Yes

By BRITTANY KEEPERMAN

bkeeperman@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – Beekeeping has been creating quite the buzz in McHenry County over the years as honeybee populations in Illinois continue to struggle. Larry Krengel, a beekeeping instructor at McHenry County College, has been teaching people the ins and outs of keeping colonies for about two decades and said he has seen a rapid increase in interest in the hobby. The college holds seminars in the spring to prepare for bee season, which typically begins at the end of March. This year, the course had so much interest that it was broken up into two sessions. “I think many people feel they can be of a help because of the problem the honeybees are having,” he said. “I also think they find a fascination with it. The world of the honeybee is quite intriguing.” About $15 billion worth of U.S. crops are pollinated by the honeybee, but populations are declining because of a variety of factors, including vicious parasites and what has been known as colony collapse disorder – where mature worker bees leave the hive, and the queen and remaining nurse and immature bees don’t survive, Krengel said. The No. 1 challenge local beekeepers face now is a parasite called the varroa mite, which made its first ap-

How to manage it is the biggest challenge.” It’s not just the honeybee that is in danger. The rusty patched bumblebee is an endangered species and recently has caused headaches in Algonquin. Its potential presence has halted work on the already-controversial Longmeadow Parkway project near Randall Road. The bee is the first bumblebee to officially be named endangered under the Endangered Species Act.

The issue is national. At the beginning of 2016, the number of honeybee colonies was down 8 percent from 2015, with varroa mites being the top cause for loss, according to a report from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. General Mills recently removed its iconic mascot from its Honey Nut Cheerios boxes in an effort to raise awareness of the issue. But backyard beekeepers are making a difference, Krengel said.

ALGONQUIN – Nine Algonquin businesses were fined after selling alcohol to minors – a higher number of violations than usual, Algonquin Police Chief John Bucci said. This was the first compliance check the department has conducted this year where legal licenses for people younger than 21 were used at local businesses that sell alcohol, Bucci said. “The goal is just compliance and educating the businesses to be safe,” Bucci said. First-time offenders included Famous Dave’s, 1521 S. Randall Road; El Fuego Tacos and Burritos, 132 S. Randall Road; Mobil Gas, 2390 E. Algonquin Road; Marathon Gas, 2150 E. Algonquin Road; and BP, 1469 S. Randall Road, Bucci said. First-time offenders received a $1,000 fine, were ordered to pay court and administration fees and are required to have employees go through Beverage Alcohol Sellers and Servers Education and Training program with Algonquin police, Bucci said. Walgreens, 1301 E. Algonquin Road, and Armanetti Wine and Liquor, 3989 W. Algonquin Road, were second-time offenders, Bucci said. They both were fined $3,000, ordered to pay court and administration fees, required to have employees go

through BASSET training and will have their liquor licenses suspended for four days, Bucci said. Meijer Gas Station, 490 S. Randall Road, and Chipotle Mexican Grill, 412 S. Randall Road, also were second-time offenders, Bucci said. They received the same penalties as Walgreens and Armanetti Wine and Liquor, except their fine was $2,000, Bucci said. Walgreens and Armanetti Wine and Liquor appeared before the liquor commission at its last hearing, which is why the commission decided to give the businesses a higher fine, Bucci said. A total of seven businesses were fined at the liquor hearing in February for the compliance checks completed in December. Bucci said he can’t point to a reason why there have been more violations than normal. Continuing education is how the department works to help reduce the violations, Bucci said. The department recently adopted the LC-13 Pilot Program. Through the program, the department partners with the Illinois Department of Revenue’s Liquor Control Commission to conduct more comprehensive liquor compliance checks, Bucci said. The most recent checks took place March 30, Bucci said, and they were brought before the Algonquin Liquor Control Commission on April 18.

LOCAL BRIEF

Instructor Larry Krengel finishes installing a colony by pouring about 3 pounds of bees into a hive April 15 during a session of “Field Study in Beekeeping,” a class presented through McHenry County College that is taught in a bee yard in Woodstock. During the course, students received practical, handson instruction for installing, manipulating and inspecting colonies of bees.

Illinois ACLU leader to speak, lead discussion at McHenry church

Daryl Quitalig for Shaw Media

• BEEKEEPING

Continued from page A6 “My philosophy is that it very well could be the small-scale beekeeper that saves the day,” he said. “I think having many bees in many places is how we will save the bee.” In McHenry County, there are 113 registered beekeepers and a total of 1,305 active colonies, according to the Illinois Department of Agriculture.

Jerry Gudauskas of McHenry got started because he noticed his own garden wasn’t being properly pollinated. He now is studying at the University of Florida for a master’s in beekeeping, belongs to many beekeeping organizations around Illinois and Florida, takes care of 15 hives and raises queen bees. “It’s an amazingly complicated little insect,” he said. “I never realized how complicated it was until I got into it.” Gudauskas said that he keeps

bees in part because the sustainability aspect is important. “We all need to be cognizant of who we are, what we are and what we are eating,” he said. “Our food sources are really hurting. … If you think about what you eat, a third of that has to be pollinated by something. If we didn’t have bees, we wouldn’t have almonds. We wouldn’t have coffee. We wouldn’t have pumpkins. … We can’t survive on a mono diet. We need variation, and that is what pollination does.”

Ace Sunﬂower Seed, 20 Lb. 81121

By VALERIE WELLS The Herald & Review

DECATUR – When a family is having financial problems and cutting expenses, one of the first things to go is birthday parties. The Lutheran School Association decided to help out Northeast Community Fund by collecting items for “birthday bags.” “My goal was 200,” said high school Principal Allison Nolen, standing in a storeroom at the school with four long tables groaning under the number of colorful gift bags, each containing cake mix, candles, paper plates, napkins and a present. “I knew that we would get a good response. I was hopeful for 200. I did not realize it was going to be this huge and people were going to be so invested in it. They blew me away.” LSA families came through handsomely, donating enough items for 275 complete bags, plus 75 more partial bags, with enough cake mix and toys left over to create several Easter packages, as well. Nolen designated an item a day recently – one day for cake mix, one day for napkins, another for gift bags – and

students who brought donations were allowed a day without wearing their school uniform. Nolen and high school junior Jared Gregory double-checked bags to make sure they all had all of the items in them, and they distributed the last-minute donations. Although the school asked families to spend about $5 a gift, some people went well over that, and bags had presents peeking over the edges that clearly cost more. One held a new baseball glove, and a couple of others had “Star Wars” toys and other items to make children very happy. “This is something that we’ve just found is a kind of nice little extra thing to do,” said Jerry Pelz, founder and executive director of Northeast Community Fund. “If their children have birthdays that week or month (that they come in), we give them one of these bags that has everything they need in it.” Pelz doesn’t remember exactly when it started, but about two years ago, some families started bringing in birthday kits to donate, and now people are doing it regularly, including kids who ask for such donations instead of birthday presents on their own birthdays.

McDonald’s still focusing on customer traffic By CANDICE CHOI

The Associated Press NEW YORK – McDonald’s said new Big Mac sizes helped boost a key sales figure in the U.S., but it still is working on trying to attract more customers to its stores. The world’s biggest burger chain said Tuesday that global sales rose 4 percent at established locations in the first three months of the year. That included a 1.7 percent increase in its flagship U.S. market, where the fast-food chain has suffered four straight years of declining customer visits. Sales rose as a result of higher prices, the company said, and from smaller and bigger versions of the Big Mac that helped drive up average spending. Customer visits were “relatively flat” from a year ago, when factoring out the benefit of an extra day in last year’s quarter. McDonald’s Corp. said its results show it is “strengthening its foundation” in the U.S. as it tries to improve the image of its food and looks to the rollout of options such as mobile order-and-pay and expanded delivery to drive sales moving forward.

A McDonald’s restaurant is seen Monday in downtown Pittsburgh. McDonald’s Corp. reported its earnings Tuesday. The sales bump was better than analysts expected and built on a 5.4 percent increase from a year ago. Sales also were stronger in other parts of the world, including the United Kingdom and China, and McDonald’s stock hit an all-time high at $140.82. Still, CEO Steve Easterbrook said

Tuesday that executives have had “honest conversations” about the declining customer traffic in the U.S. “Let’s acknowledge the guest counts that we’ve lost, because frankly we want those back,” he said during a conference call with analysts. Compared with 2012, McDonald’s has said its customer visits in the

U.S. are down by 500 million a year, in part because it has failed to hold onto deal seekers after doing away with the Dollar Menu. To help address that, the company has been offering $1 coffee drinks and more recently introduced $1 sodas of any size. As part of its campaign to step up the perceptions about its burgers, McDonald’s recently announced it will start using fresh instead of frozen beef for its Quarter Pounders sometime next year. In late 2015, it also introduced an all-day breakfast menu. McDonald’s also has trimmed its domestic store base for the past two years. McDonald’s closed additional stores in the first quarter, bringing its store base to 14,094 locations as of March 31. On a global basis, it is expanding and had more than 36,900 locations, including the domestic stores. For the quarter, McDonald’s reported a profit of $1.21 billion, or $1.47 a share. Analysts expected $1.32 a share, according to Zacks Investment Research. Total revenue was $5.68 billion, also beating the $5.48 billion analysts expected.

Algonquin Village Manager Tim Schloneger said he would challenge anyone to look at the village of Algonquin’s environmental record. “We’ve done more to protect the natural environment than any town I’ve been part of,” Schloneger said. Schmitt said he genuinely is concerned about the pollinating capability of bees in the country, but extending Longmeadow Parkway isn’t the problem. The use of pesticides in the country is what’s harming bees, and that is what needs to be looked at, Schmitt said. “This is a road project that is needed to help the environment so that we have less traffic sitting on the bridges polluting the river,” Schmitt said. “Longmeadow is not an anti-environmental project – it isn’t.” Work on the parkway started April 17 near Randall Road in Algonquin, but it ended several hours later after U.S. District Court Judge Sharon Coleman granted an emergency stop requested by opponents who said the

Since the late 1990s, the bee species’ numbers have declined by nearly 90 percent, according to the motion filed by Stop Longmeadow, and the bee is only found in a handful of locations in the country, including Kane County. Coleman’s order is in effect until Friday, when a status hearing is scheduled.

LOCAL BRIEF McHenry man admits to fatally stabbing wife with screwdriver

McHENRY – A McHenry man has pleaded guilty to stabbing his wife to death with a screwdriver in 2015. The Daily Herald reported Monday that 46-year-old Javier Bahena-Arellano of McHenry entered the plea in exchange for a 30-year prison term. Officials said he stabbed 42-year-old Francisca Quintero-Montoya at an Elk Grove Village hospital. Cook County Assistant State’s Attor-

ney Denise Loiterstein said the couple and family were at the hospital grieving the death of her brother, who died from a heart attack. Loiterstein said Bahena-Arellano believed his wife was cheating on him, retrieved a screwdriver from his truck and followed Quintero-Montoya into a restroom, where he locked the door and stabbed her. Prosecutors said relatives heard her screaming and tried to rescue her. They had been married 20 years.

House Dems OK public funding for abortions By KIANNAH SEPEDA–MILLER The Associated Press

SPRINGFIELD – The Democratic-controlled Illinois House approved legislation Tuesday that would allow the state to cover abortions for state employees and Medicaid recipients, voting just hours after several hundred people from across the state flocked to the Capitol to lobby their lawmakers to support it. The 62-55 party-line vote coincided with a rally by women’s groups outside the Capitol that focused on a “progressive” legislative agenda, headed by the abortion measure. Springing from the inauguration of Republican President Donald Trump in January, the issue has gained enough steam this spring to force GOP Bruce Rauner to walk back his former support for expanding publicly funded abortions. Despite the familiarity of the arguments from both sides, the floor debate

lasted two hours and was fueled by the morning rally, called the Illinois Women March, which was patterned after similar marches worldwide Jan. 21. “Women should have access to safe, legal and accessible abortion no matter what their insurance is,” Chicago Democratic Rep. Sara Feigenholtz, the proposal’s sponsor, said in closing the floor debate. Feigenholtz and other Democratic proponents argued the measure is a matter of fairness, ending the “twotiered” system that denies low-income women and state employees the same access to abortion coverage that women insured privately or by some units of local government receive and protecting their right to make reproductive health decisions. They said the proposal would also safeguard abortion access in Illinois by striking language in current law expressing the state’s intent to criminalize the procedure if the landmark 1973 U.S. Supreme Court ruling that

legalized it is ever overturned. But Republicans claimed the Legislature lacks necessary public support to use taxpayer dollars in funding the controversial procedure, particularly amid the state’s two-year-long budget crisis. “Where should this money come from?” asked Republican Rep. Peter Breen of Lombard, who said Medicaid-funded abortions do not qualify for a federal match and would cost Illinois an extra $60 million a year. “Should it come from cancer screenings? Legitimate medical expenses like heart medicine or insulin?” Breen also called striking the socalled “trigger language” in existing law – which advocates say would criminalize abortion in Illinois if Roe v. Wade is overturned – a “smokescreen” to cover the bill’s funding expansion. He cited a 1989 analysis from the state’s nonpartisan Legislative Research Unit that found Illinois would need to reinstate criminal penalties for abortion

before that language could have any practical application. During the debate, Democratic Majority Leader Rep. Barbara Flynn Currie of Chicago read from a statement she said Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner made during his 2014 run for governor in support of ensuring women can access abortion services regardless of income level. Rauner said last week he opposes expanding publicly funded abortions, although he supports Feigenholtz in her effort to keep abortion legal in Illinois if Roe v. Wade is overturned. The issue has become a political flashpoint in the 2018 gubernatorial race, in which Rauner already faces six Democratic opponents, three of whom joined Tuesday’s rally in support of the Women March’s agenda. That agenda covers a multitude of issues advocates say would improve women’s lives including protecting immigrant rights, increasing the minimum wage and ratifying the Equal Rights Amendment.

EVANSTON – Northwestern University said it has suspended a fraternity chapter for violating terms of a disciplinary probation for serving alcohol to minors. The school announced Monday that the Sigma Alpha Epsilon chapter at Northwestern is suspended until Sept. 1, 2018, and members must leave the fraternity house by May 6. The university said the fraternity repeatedly hosted parties and provided alcohol to minors. Sigma Alpha Epsilon said in statement Tuesday it “maintains stringent guidelines and expectations for our members.” The national fraternity said it hopes to re-establish recognition at Northwestern after the suspension.

Palestinian activist pleads guilty to immigration crime

DETROIT – A Chicago Palestinian activist with a decades-old record of bombings in Israel pleaded guilty Tuesday to concealing those convictions when she applied for U.S. citizenship. Rasmea Odeh, 69, will be deported to Jordan or another country in the months ahead. Supporters traveled to Detroit from Chicago to pack the courtroom, and many were in tears later on the courthouse steps. Odeh was convicted at trial in 2014 and sentenced to 18 months in prison, but the verdict was overturned. A second trial was planned in Detroit, the city where she went through the citizenship process in 2004, before she decided to accept a plea deal. But even with the plea agreement, Odeh found it impossible to say the word “guilty” when repeatedly asked by U.S. District Judge Gershwin Drain. He gave up and accepted her reply that she had admitted her crime in the court document. “I signed this,” Odeh said.

She won’t spend any time in prison and will wait for U.S. immigration officials to tell her when she must leave the country. The deportation won’t happen until after she appears in court in August.

Caterpillar’s 1st quarter results top Wall Street

PEORIA – Caterpillar’s first-quarter adjusted profit handily topped expectations on Wall Street, and revenue climbed thanks to improved sales across its business segments. The construction equipment company also boosted its full-year outlook thanks to a stronger-than-expected start to the year. Shares jumped 6 percent in Tuesday premarket trading.

For the three months ended March 31, the Peoria company earned $192 million, or 32 cents a share. That compares with $271 million, or 46 cents a share, a year earlier. Stripping out restructuring costs, earnings were $1.28 a share. That easily beat the 62 cents a share that analysts surveyed by Zacks Investment Research called for. Revenue rose to $9.82 billion from $9.46 billion. That topped the $9.36 billion in revenue that analysts expected.

U.S. to brief senators on potential N. Korea threat

WASHINGTON – North Korea conducted live-fire artillery drills and a U.S. guided-missile submarine arrived in South Korea on Tuesday, as the Trump administration prepared an extraordinary White House briefing for senators on the escalating nuclear threat. Fears North Korea could mark the 85th anniversary of its military’s founding with a nuclear test explosion or a ballistic missile launch proved unfounded. But the unpredictable communist nation rattled its saber all the same, with drills that served as a reminder of the threat it poses below the border to U.S.-allied South Korea. The exercise in the area of east coast city of Wonsan involved 300 to 400 artillery pieces, South Korea’s Yonhap news agency said. An official from Seoul’s Defense Ministry couldn’t confirm details.

GOP open to Trump’s tax plan despite deficit By STEPHEN OHLEMACHER and JOSH BOAK The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump plans to propose massive tax cuts for businesses big and small as part of an overhaul that he said will provide the biggest tax cuts in U.S. history. In addition to big tax cuts for corporations, Trump also wants to cut taxes for small business owners from a top tax rate of 39.6 percent to a top rate of 15 percent, said an official with knowledge of the plan. The top tax rate for individuals would be cut from 39.6 percent to the “mid-30s,” the official said. The official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, was not authorized to discuss the plan publicly ahead of Trump’s announcement, scheduled for Wednesday. White House officials already had revealed that Trump’s plan would reduce the top corporate income tax rate from 35 percent to 15 percent. The plan also will include child care benefits, a cause promoted by Trump’s daughter, Ivanka. Republicans who slammed the growing national debt under Democrat Barack Obama said Tuesday they are open to Trump’s tax plan, even though it could add trillions of dollars to the deficit over the next decade. Echoing the White House, Republicans on Capitol Hill argued Tuesday that tax cuts would spur economic growth, reducing or even eliminating any drop in tax revenue. “I’m not convinced that cutting taxes is necessarily going to blow a hole in the deficit,” said Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, chairman of the Finance Committee. “I actually believe it could stimulate the economy and get the economy moving,” Hatch added. “Now, whether 15 per-

Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin points to a member of the media as he answers questions during the daily briefing Monday in the Brady Press Briefing Room of the White House in Washington, D.C. cent is the right figure or not, that’s a matter to be determined.” The argument that tax cuts pay for themselves has been debunked by economists from across the political spectrum. On Tuesday, the official scorekeeper for Congress dealt the argument – and Trump’s plan – another blow. The nonpartisan Joint Committee on Taxation said Tuesday that a big cut in corporate taxes – even if it is temporary – would add to longterm budget deficits. This is a problem for Republicans because it means they would need Democratic support in the Senate to pass a tax overhaul that significantly cuts corporate taxes. The assessment was requested by House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., who has been pushing a new tax on imports to fund lower overall tax rates. Senate Republicans have panned the idea, and officials in the Trump administration have sent mixed signals about it. The import tax is not expected to be part of Trump’s plan. Trump dispatched his top lieutenants to Capitol Hill Tuesday to discuss his plan with Republican leaders. They met for about half an hour. No

Democrat was invited. Afterward, Hatch called it, “a preliminary meeting.” “They went into some suggestions that are mere suggestions, and we’ll go from there.” Republicans have been working under a budget maneuver that would allow them to pass a tax bill without Democratic support in the Senate – but only if it didn’t add to longterm deficits. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said the Senate was sticking to that strategy. “Regretfully we don’t expect to have any Democratic involvement in” a tax overhaul, McConnell said. “So we’ll have to reach an agreement among ourselves.” Democrats said they smell hypocrisy over the growing national debt, which stands at nearly $20 trillion. For decades, Republican lawmakers railed against saddling future generations with trillions in debt. But with Republicans controlling Congress and the White House, there is no appetite at either end of Pennsylvania Avenue to tackle the longterm drivers of debt – Social Security and Medicare. Instead, Republicans are pushing for tax cuts and increased defense spending.

Lawmakers: Former aide broke U.S. law Flynn allegedly failed to seek permission in accepting money from Russian organizations By CHAD DAY and STEPHEN BRAUN The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump’s former national security adviser, Michael Flynn, appeared to violate federal law when he failed to seek permission or inform the U.S. government about accepting tens of thousands of dollars from Russian organizations after a trip there in 2015, leaders of a House oversight committee said Tuesday. The congressmen also raised new questions about fees Flynn received as part of $530,000 in consulting work his company performed for a businessman tied to Turkey’s government. The bipartisan accusations that Flynn may have broken the law come as his foreign contacts are being examined by other congressional committees as part of investigations into Russian meddling in the 2016 election and potential ties between Trump associates and the Kremlin. Congress returned earlier this week from its spring recess, and Tuesday’s announcements reflected renewed interest on Capitol Hill.

Reps. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, and Elijah Cummings, D-Md., said they saw no evidence that Flynn, a retired Army lieutenant general, properly disclosed foreign payments he received to military officials or on his security clearance paperwork. Flynn, who headed the military’s top intelligence agency, was Trump’s national security adviser until he was fired in February. Among the payments in question was more than $33,000 that Flynn received in 2015 from the Russia Today television network, which has been described by U.S. intelligence officials as a propaganda front for Russia’s government. “That money needs to be recovered,” said Chaffetz, chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. Chaffetz said Flynn was obligated as a retired Army officer to request permission from both the Defense and State departments about prospective foreign government payments before he received them. “There was nothing in the data to show that Gen. Flynn complied with the law,” Chaffetz said.

Cummings said Flynn’s failure to formally report the Russian payments on his security clearance paperwork amounted to concealment of the money, which could be prosecuted as a felony. Flynn’s attorney, Robert Kelner, said Flynn reported his plans to travel to Russia to his former agency, the Defense Intelligence Agency, and he briefed officials there after he returned. Kelner declined to answer questions about whether Flynn properly disclosed the payments. The congressmen spoke after reviewing classified documents regarding Flynn that were provided by the Defense Intelligence Agency. They were also briefed Michael by agency officials. The Flynn congressmen declined to describe in detail the materials they reviewed. But Cummings said the documents were “extremely troubling” and he urged the administration to declassify them. Chaffetz and Cummings said they planned to write to the comptroller of the Army and the Defense Department’s inspector general for a final determination as to whether Flynn broke the law and whether the government needs to

pursue criminal charges and seek to recover the payments Flynn received. Cummings also criticized the White House for refusing to turn over documents the committee requested about Flynn’s foreign contacts during his three-week stint as national security adviser. In response to a letter to White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus, an administration official told the committee that documents relating to those contacts likely contained classified and other sensitive information, weren’t relevant to the committee’s investigation and could not be turned over. “That is simply unacceptable,” Cummings said. At the White House, Press Secretary Sean Spicer said the committee’s request for Flynn’s security clearance information was referred to the Defense Department, which turned over documents. He said the White House did not release a detailed list of Flynn’s contacts with foreign officials, a request he dismissed as “outlandish.” Spicer said that the president was confident in his decision to fire Flynn in February on grounds that Flynn had misled the vice president about a conversation he had with the Russian ambassador to the U.S. during the transition.

By SHEILA BURKE

The Associated Press COLUMBIA, Tenn. – A 15-year-old Tennessee girl who authorities said was kidnapped by her teacher had endured months of abuse at the hands of her mother, according to court documents, making her particularly vulnerable to an adult predator. The mother is scheduled to appear in court next month and has pleaded not guilty to five counts of abuse and neglect involving several of her children. The girl’s father filed for divorce Monday, citing the alleged abuse. His daughter was found safe with her teacher last week at a cabin in a remote part of Northern California. The girl’s father has said the 50-yearold teacher brainwashed his daughter. In divorce documents, he said the teacher used his position of authority to “prey upon her, groom her, and ultimately entice her into running away with him.” The Associated Press is not naming the student or any family members because the teen is an alleged victim of a sex crime. The teacher, Tad Cummins, faces federal charges of bringing a minor across state lines for sex and state charges of aggravated kidnapping and sexual contact with a minor. Cummins’ attorney has said the girl went with her teacher willingly, and was not forced, threatened or coerced. School records showed the girl often relied on Cummins “like a friend and a counselor” when she became upset or anxious at school. A history of abuse at home can make children particularly susceptible to manipulation disguised as help, said David Finkelhor, director of the Crimes Against Children Research Center at

the University of New Hampshire. “They’re very vulnerable to the grooming because this is an adult who seems to care about them and is interested in them, and that’s probably something they’re not getting elsewhere,” he said. Authorities said the mother physically abused several of her children for about a year, beginning in November 2014. The teen’s father was living at home during that time, but the couple separated in November 2015 and the father took sole custody of the children, according to the divorce filing. The parents have been married for 30 years and have 10 children together, although only four of them are still minors. The mother is accused of hitting her children until they bled, knocking a daughter unconscious with a wooden board and throwing a chair at another daughter, bruising her leg, court documents show. The mother also smacked a child in the head for injecting herself with her brother’s EpiPen. The mother said she can’t comment about the case. Her attorney has asked for more detail on the allegations and access to the children’s social media accounts. The mother has been ordered to stay away from the children, court records said. The mother is alleged to have banged the 15-year-old’s head on a washer, and at another point, she threw the girl down basement steps and locked her inside, the documents said. The children wrote letters to the Department of Children’s Services about the abuse before the mother was arrested, according to one of the teen’s relatives. Department spokesman Rob Johnson said he could not comment on the case.

Fighting the opioid crisis America’s opioid crisis keeps getting worse. More than 33,000 Americans died from opioid overdoses in 2015, the highest on record, and millions still abuse the drugs. Efforts to control the epidemic abound, such as new national prescribing guidelines for doctors, more state drug courts and increased access to addiction treatment. But opioids are extraordinarily addictive, and the pattern of abuse is shifting: Many people who became hooked on prescription opioids go on to use heroin, or worse, illicit fentanyl, which is many times as potent. Fentanyl overdose, which can occur almost instantaneously when the drug is taken, is mainly what’s driving the death rate skyward. So federal and state officials are trying increasingly tough approaches. In New Jersey, for example, a patient’s first course of opioids is now limited to five days (30 has been the norm) and the lowest effective dose. A similar bill in the U.S. Senate would limit first prescriptions to seven days. The Senate also is considering taxing prescription opioids to help pay for addiction-treatment services, as are lawmakers in Alaska and California. Meanwhile, the Centers for Disease Control has launched an ad campaign to warn Americans about the risk of addiction. And Tom Price, the secretary of Health and Human Services, is promising to make it easier for the addicted to get treatment. All these efforts are laudable, if piecemeal. But as the crisis expands, so must the response to it. To this end, drug courts are putting addicted people who have been arrested for nonviolent crimes into treatment programs. The use of methadone and buprenorphine in treating addiction, now being expanded nationwide, has doubled success rates. And many states are now preventing deaths, especially from fentanyl overdose, by making the antidote naloxone available over the counter and putting it in the hands of police and others who are in a position to use it. There also may be a place for more traditional law enforcement tactics. A Senate bill would outfit border police with chemical screening devices to help detect fentanyl being smuggled into the U.S. from Mexico and China. Not all these strategies will work, so it’s important that states and the federal government assess them carefully. Ideally, the White House commission on opioid abuse and addiction, led by New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, will make sure that the most effective policies are widely shared and adequately funded. America’s opioid epidemic is growing and changing, and it will take both ingenuity and determination to bring it under control.

Washington’s VA hospital is sick It did not take long for the inspector general of the Department of Veterans Affairs to figure out there was something seriously wrong with conditions at the VA medical center in Washington, D.C. He also quickly determined that senior VA officials had long been aware of some of the problems and so could not be trusted to fix them. That the inspector general issued a rare, urgent warning about the risks posed to patients underscores the deep-seated problems still confronting the department entrusted with taking care of the men and women who have fought for their country. “We have not seen anything quite like this at a VA facility,” Inspector General Michael Missal said in issuing an interim report that found “serious and troubling deficiencies” at the Washington VA Medical Center. The comment was all

the more startling given the past mismanagement scandals that have scarred the VA. This time, independent watchdog investigators following up on a confidential March 21 tip found unsanitary conditions, medical supply shortages and inattention to safety recalls at the facility that provides medical care to almost 100,000 veterans across the Washington region. Detailed in the April 12 report were doctors forced to stop procedures and nurses frantically scrounging for supplies during emergencies. Investigators did not identify any adverse patient outcomes; the review still is underway. The unusual release of an interim report – less than a month after the investigation began – was an indictment of the VA for its failures to address problems that were apparent as early as 2014. Why those failures occurred and

whether anyone will be held accountable ought to be addressed as the inspector general’s office finishes its work and VA officials and Congress conduct their own reviews. The quick reaction from Veterans Affairs Secretary David Shulkin was encouraging. He immediately relieved the facility’s director of his duties and installed one of his close advisers, Lawrence Connell, as acting director to make sure the problems were fixed. A broader review of the system to determine whether there are similar problems at other medical centers also is planned. “Honoring America’s Veterans with quality health care” is the promise billeted on the homepage of the D.C. medical center – and it is one that should not be broken to people who served their country.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

IT’S YOUR WRITE

Many would be thrilled to have state jobs

To the Editor: Concerning [Gov. Bruce] Rauner’s threat to replace state workers striking, there must be a million plus minimum wage workers who would give up those jobs for a state job. They would be happy with 40 hours, one week’s paid vacation, double their old pay, decent health care and time and a half for overtime to start, compared with the obscenely lucrative contract and benefits of the current workers, and I use the term loosely. I forgot to mention the new workers would be happy with a decent pension at 65! On another note, as a retired union construction worker I still receive a pension check of the same amount as when I retired 12 years ago. Our real estate taxes consume my first three checks, with no end in sight. Since I can only write one letter a month, I will continue. It’s sad that our national elections are not a day off to vote! Also, if someone is running unopposed shame on the other parties, why vote for them and just embolden them into thinking they are the best choice or most qualified? We keep electing people with the same results, like the County Board members who tried to scam the IRMF pension fund when not qualified. Remember The Atomic Clock, now we have Trump and North Korea –

how many minutes till midnight now? Also we probably could use an Atomic (Carbon) Thermometer to keep track of the nonexistent global warming and other alternative facts. John Fritz Holiday Hills

Thanks for Operation Click

To the Editor: I wanted to say thank you to the organizers of Operation Click and Kunes Country Auto Group on behalf of the student body, staff, administration and community here at Mundelein High School. A special thank you also comes from Daniel Bronfeyn and his family – winner of the car for the Lake County Operation Click chapter. Having a winner of a free car at our school has made all the difference, and the buzz surrounding it has made it easier to discuss safe-driving decisions – especially those surrounding the ideas of seat belt use and disengagement with phones while driving. Thank you for being willing to run a program that saves kids’ lives. One of the things I was excited to listen to at the banquet was the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office’s discussion of heroin use. It saddens me deeply every time I see or hear of a young person who has ruined his/ her life. There is not enough we can do to make sure all students are drug free, but I applaud Operation Click for doing what it

they like. This is part of Montessori’s 110-year tradition. All of my kids attended Montesorri schools in their early years. My wife and I were encouraged to observe, although we were bothered that our older son spent all his time on practical skills and never wanted to trace his letters. Some schools have told me they consider such visits disruptive and a drain on teachers’ time and energies. I asked Hedin about that. “We work closely with families to establish guidelines and expectations for their time in the classroom,” she said, and limit each visit to 30 minutes. Classroom visits do not have to be like school musical performances, where there are often more cameras lit up than at White House news conferences. I don’t put parent observations in the same category as parent volunteering. Schools seem more comfortable having parents do chores in classrooms. It is a fine way to save money and keep families involved, but it is different from being able just to sit and watch what the children and the teacher are doing. This has become

a contentious issue for the parents of children with disabilities, who are sometimes told that the federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act bars them from observing in school because that would violate the privacy of the other children there. Attorneys in the field say that is a misreading of the law. Schools can set guidelines but cannot keep parents away. Schools’ resistance to observations is even stronger when parents ask to sit quietly in a classroom before they decide to enroll their child. Schools often tell me they can’t handle the demand for such observations, but then admit they haven’t ever determined how many parents would request them. Breakthrough Montessori in the District invites parents just curious about the school to sit and observe. Schools should remember what Perhaps you should try something that might be useful before saying you can’t do it.

I am in good health and don’t want anyone freaking out, but I have been wondering what to say to my children and grandchildren on my deathbed. Old people ruminate on such stuff occasionally, and it has inspired a new thought about school visits. When I am about to go I want to tell my kids and grandkids how much I enjoyed watching them in action – talking, writing, building, playing. It helped me understand the essence and individuality of their lives. But I have relatively few memories of them in school. Our education system does little to encourage parent observations. The few times I was allowed to watch my children in class taught me things and left vivid recollections. I wonder why schools don’t try harder to make that happen. Many educators have the view that parents can be nuisances and their school contacts should be limited. Usually, there is just one back-to-school night a year. Parents sitting and watching in the back of a classroom doesn’t

fit ordinary school culture. Organizations tend to avoid practices they haven’t tried before. Alyssa Rafa, policy researcher for the Education Commission of the States in Denver, was able to find for me only two states, California and Washington, that have given all parents the right to observe classroom activities. Some states have rules allowing parents of certain kinds of children, such as those with disabilities or disciplinary problems, to watch classes. But that’s it. Not all parents want to observe, but those like me who do are at the mercy of varying local laws, guidelines and habits. Even the schools that allow parental observations rarely publicize or encourage them. This goes for public and private schools. What of those few schools that welcome parents into classrooms? At Breakthrough Montessori, a public charter school in Northwest Washington, “We strongly encourage family members to observe their child’s classroom at least twice during the school year,” spokeswoman Emily Hedin said. They can come more than that if

Wells Fargo faces shareholders, protesters By KEN SWEET

The Associated Press PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. – Shareholders irritated by the fallout from Wells Fargo’s sales practices scandal sent a warning to the bank’s executives and board, with some directors barely holding onto their jobs Tuesday in what is typically a symbolic vote. The shareholder meeting was the first time Wells Fargo had met collectively with its investors since acknowledging last fall that its employees opened up to 2 million bank accounts without getting customers’ authorization in order to meet unrealistic sales quotes. While all 15 board members kept their positions for another year, four directors received backing of 60 percent or less. That included Chairman Stephen Sanger, who received 56 percent support. “Wells Fargo shareholders today have sent the entire board a clear message of dissatisfaction,” Sanger said. Although shareholders voted everyone in, they were clearly unhappy. All the directors who were at Wells Fargo before the scandal broke got 80 percent or less of shareholders’ votes, based on preliminary results. The three who got 99 percent were CEO Tim Sloan – who got his job in October after former CEO John Stumpf departed – and two independent directors who started earlier this year. Last year, Wells’ board got approvals from at least 90 percent of shareholders – a

Wells Fargo’s top management and board of directors faced irritated investors Tuesday for the bank’s first big shareholder meeting since the scandal over its sales practices led to an executive shake-up, fines and a dented reputation. common level at big corporations. Sanger said he did not see the slim majority as a vote of no confidence in his role as chairman. And he said the board has no plans to replace any members of the board after the vote. “They didn’t really have desire to replace any one director, but they did want to send a message to the board,” Sanger said. Sanger did note that at least six members of the board will reach retirement age in next four years, which will bring some fresh fac-

es onto a board that investors signaled needs to do more to stabilize Wells. Wells’ contentious, three-hour shareholder meeting was interrupted several times by protesters, with one man, Bruce Marks with the Neighborhood Assistance Corporation of America, being effectively dragged out by armed security guards. Sanger said Marks had to be removed because he physically approached a board member, something people sitting nearby disputed.

Other protesters were ordered to leave the meeting, escorted by guards but not physically forced to leave. Shareholders, current and former employees and customers vented their anger, questioning how well board members did their jobs and the work of the company’s auditor. Many employees who spoke were affiliated with the Committee for Better Banks, a union-backed advocacy group, and called for additional investigation into Wells Fargo’s sales practices, or even calling for union organization. Some customers who came to speak pleaded for mortgage relief. It would have been a rare move for shareholders to oust the board, since investors typically look for stability at companies they’re putting money into. But the recommendation by two major proxy advisory firms to vote out at least some of the directors meant a small but noticeable chance that at least one director would be voted out. Other shareholder proposals related to an additional investigation into the bank’s retail sales practices and other corporate governance issues were also rejected by shareholders. Since the scandal broke and regulators imposed $185 million in fines last September, the bank has changed the way it pays branch employees, reclaimed promised compensation to several executives and apologized to customers. The bank also recently settled a class-action lawsuit to the tune of $142 million related to its sales practices.

WORTH TALKIN’ ABOUT WEDNESDAY, APRIL 26, 2017

This image released by Netflix shows an art piece featuring “Orange is the New Black” character Poussey Washington, portrayed by actress Samira Wiley. AP photo

TV’s ‘Orange Is the New Black’ honors slain character NEW YORK – Fans of “Orange Is the New Black” could do a double take this week in several large cities around the world – a familiar face may be looking back at them. Netflix has commissioned artists in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Detroit, Toronto, San Francisco, Sydney and Melbourne to paint murals of character Poussey Washington as both a tribute to her and a tease for the upcoming fifth season of the prison series, which starts June 9. Washington, an inmate portrayed by actress Samira Wiley, was a fan favorite whose sudden death at the hands of corrections officers at the end of the fourth season stunned many. Netflix wanted to honor her with a portrait and the slogan “Stand Up.” “I want to do the character justice and do the show justice because I think they have so many strong messages that are really relevant today,” said Detroit-based artist Michelle Tanguay, who said she cried when she watched Washington die. “I’m a huge, huge fan of the show. I actually watch it while I paint.” Her hand-painted portrait is decorated with black, blue and white lines. It stands 24-by-25 feet and was painted on a brick wall at the corner of Detroit’s Broadway Street and Grand River Avenue. Netflix gave her the freedom to do whatever she wanted as long as she showed the character and used the show’s hashtag and slogan. “I viewed this project as paying tribute to the character,” Tanguay said. “I wanted to make it very positive and that’s why I chose the bright colors, the bright blues, to just do her justice.” She added: “I just wanted to be able to see her again.” Netflix joins other companies in embracing old-school, hand-painted mural billboards in this digital age to get their messages out, including McDonald’s, Adidas, Ubisoft and Jack Daniels.

NEW YORK – Former U.S. Ambassador Samantha Power is writing a memoir about her transition from writing a Pulitzer Prize-winning condemnation of foreign policy to becoming a leading public advocate for the government. Dey Street Books, an imprint of HarperCollins Publishing, said Tuesday that it had acquired Power’s “The Education of an Idealist.” A release date has not yet been determined. Before serving in the Obama administration, Power was known for the 2003 book, “A Problem from Hell,” a Pulitzer winner that had condemned the U.S. for failing to prevent human rights abuses in Bosnia, Rwanda and other parts of the world.

Mick Jagger avoids limelight as Charlie Watts wins award LONDON – It’s not often Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger tries to avoid the spotlight and shift attention to drummer Charlie Watts. But that happened Tuesday night at Jazz FM’s gala in London when Watts received the Gold Award for a lifetime of blues, jazz and rock excellence. The Stones also won two awards. But Jagger focused attention on the shy Watts, insisting he say a few words to acknowledge his special honor. The beautifully dressed drummer managed a brief “thank you” to the crowd at Shoreditch Town Hall. The event included a tribute to jazz singer Ella Fitzgerald on what would have been her 100th birthday. It also featured the often reticent singer-songwriter Van Morrison in a supporting role giving a lifetime award to sometimes bandmate Georgie Fame.

McCartney adds tour dates for New York, New Jersey

NEWARK, N.J. – Paul McCartney is bringing his One On One tour to New Jersey and New York City. Officials on Tuesday announced McCartney will perform for the first time at Prudential Center in Newark on Sept. 11. He’ll then perform at Madison Square Garden on Sept. 15, Barclays Center in Brooklyn

on Sept. 19 and Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum on Long Island on Sept. 26. Promoters say the One On One tour opened in April 2016 in Fresno, California, with McCartney’s first performance of “A Hard Day’s Night” since the Beatles last played it in 1965. Tickets for the New Jersey and New York shows go on sale to the public at 10 a.m. May 5.

‘Bachelor’ star Chris Soules charged in fatal Iowa crash

IOWA CITY, Iowa – Chris Soules, an Iowa farmer who starred on “The Bachelor” two years ago, was arrested Tuesday after authorities say he caused a deadly traffic accident and fled the scene. Soules, who was portrayed as a wholesome country boy looking for love on season 19 of the ABC reality show, was behind the wheel of a pickup truck that rear-ended a tractor in northern Iowa near Aurora on Monday night, the Iowa State Patrol said. The crash caused the tractor to roll and go into a ditch on one side of the road, while Soules’ truck went into a ditch on the other side, the patrol said. The tractor driver was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead. The patrol identified him as 66-year-old Kenneth Mosher, a farmer from Aurora. Soules wasn’t injured in the accident and left the area before emergency responders arrived, the Buchanan County Sheriff’s Office said. He was arrested later at his home in Arlington, which is about 10 miles north of Aurora and 75 miles north of Iowa City.

‘Out of the box’ treatment

A ‘sci-fi’ cancer therapy fights brain tumors, extends lives study finds “I wear it and wear it proudly. It’s an incredible machine, and I’m fine not having hair.”

By MARILYNN MARCHIONE The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – It sounds like science fiction, but a cap-like device that makes electric fields to fight cancer improved survival for the first time in more than a decade for people with deadly brain tumors, final results of a large study suggest. Many doctors are skeptical of the therapy, called tumor treating fields, and it’s not a cure. It’s also ultra-expensive – $21,000 a month. But in the study, more than twice as many patients were alive five years after getting it, plus the usual chemotherapy, than those given just the chemo – 13 percent versus 5 percent. “It’s out of the box” in terms of how cancer usually is treated, and many doctors don’t understand it or think it can help, said Dr. Roger Stupp, a brain tumor expert at Northwestern University in Chicago. He led the company-sponsored study while previously at University Hospital Zurich in Switzerland, and gave results at an American Association for Cancer Research meeting in Washington. “You cannot argue with them – they’re great results,” and unlikely to be due to a placebo effect, said one independent expert, Dr. Antonio Chiocca, neurosurgery chief at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston. Dr. George Demetri of the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston and a board member of the association hosting the conference, agreed but called the benefit modest, because most patients still die within five years. “It is such a horrible disease” that any progress is important, he added.

About the treatment

The device, called Optune, is made by Novocure, based in Jersey, an island near England. It’s sold in the U.S., Germany, Switzerland and Japan for adults with an aggressive cancer called glioblastoma multiforme, and is used with chemo after surgery and radiation to try to keep these tumors from recurring, as most do. Patients cover their shaved scalp with strips of electrodes connected by wires to a small generator kept in a bag. They can wear a hat, go about

The latest National Comprehensive Cancer Center guidelines include Optune as an appropriate treatment for brain tumors. It’s also being tested for pancreatic, ovarian and lung cancers; electrodes are worn on the belly or chest for those. AP photo

Joyce Endresen wears an Optune therapy device for brain cancer March 29 as she speaks on a phone at work in Aurora. She was diagnosed in December 2014 with Glioblastoma. She had two surgeries to remove the tumor as well as radiation and chemotherapy, but now is trying the new therapy that requires her to wear the electrodes on her head as much as possible. They create low intensity electric fields that disrupt cell reproduction, which makes the cells die. their usual lives, and are supposed to use the device at least 18 hours a day. It’s not an electric current or radiation, and they feel only mild heat. It supposedly works by creating low intensity, alternating electric fields that disrupt cell division – confusing the way chromosomes line up – which makes the cells die. Because cancer cells divide often, and normal cells in the adult brain do not, this in theory mostly harms the disease and not the patient.

the device wasn’t compared with a sham treatment – everyone knew who was getting what. Study leaders say a sham was impractical, because patients feel heat when they get the real thing, and many would refuse to shave their heads every few days and use an inconvenient device for years if the treatment might be fake. Some doctors said they would withhold judgment until there were long-term results on the whole group.

What studies show

The new results

In a 2011 study, the device didn’t improve survival but caused fewer symptoms than chemo did for people whose tumors had worsened or recurred after standard treatments. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved it for that situation. A second study, in newly diagnosed patients, was stopped in 2014 after about half of the 695 participants had been tracked for at least 18 months, because those using the device were living several months longer on average than the rest. The FDA expanded approval, but some doctors were leery because

Now they’re in: Median survival was 21 months for those given Optune plus chemo versus 16 months for those on chemo alone. Survival rates were 43 percent versus 31 percent at two years; 26 percent versus 16 percent at three years, and 13 percent versus 5 percent at five years. Side effects were minimal but included blood-count problems, weakness, fatigue and skin irritation from the electrodes. “The device is now impossible to ignore ... it absolutely is an advance,” said Dr. Andrew Lassman, brain tumor chief at the Columbia

The price

A big issue is cost – roughly $700 a day. Most U.S. insurers cover it, but Medicare does not and “we are paying,” Novocure’s chief executive, Bill Doyle said. “We’ve never refused a patient regardless of insurance status.” The price reflects “an extremely sophisticated medical device, made in very low quantities,” with disposable parts changed several times a week and a support person for each patient, he said. Plus 17 years of lab, animal and human testing. That cost? “The round number is half a billion dollars,” Doyle said.

One patient’s experience

Joyce Endresen’s insurance covers all but about $1,000 a year for her device. “It’s a great plan, and that’s why I still work,” said Endresen, 52, employed by a direct mail company in suburban Chicago. She has scans every two months to check for cancer, and “they’ve all been good,” she said. “We celebrated two years of no tumor in December and went to South Africa.” Doctors say many patients won’t try the device because of the trouble involved or because they don’t want a visible reminder of their cancer. Not Endresen. “I wear it and wear it proudly,” she said. “It’s an incredible machine, and I’m fine not having hair.”

34 Large dose of B12 can provide burst of energy Dear Doctor: I’m almost 90 years old and always tired. I took two capsules of 2,000 mcg vitamin B12 the other night, and felt stronger and not as tired. Is it safe? Dear Reader: My first thought is you might have B12 deficiency, caused either by inadequate intake or by inadequate absorption of B12. Animal products such as meat, dairy and eggs are the only sources of B12 in humans, and the recommended daily allowance is 2.4 micrograms a day. The average intake of an individual in the United States is about 3.4 micrograms a day, but if you follow a vegan diet, you obviously lack sources of B12. Thanks to evolution, one-half of your B12 intake is stored in your liver, and it takes many years for this to be depleted. If your intake is sufficient, it may be your ability to absorb B12 that is compromised. This can occur if you have inflammation of your stomach lining or disorders of the small intestine, such as Crohn’s disease. Antacids and proton pump inhibitors such as Prilosec, Protonix, Prevacid, Aciphex, Zantac and Pepcid also can lead to deficiency, because they reduce the stomach acid necessary to release the B12 from food. Metformin, a drug used to treat Type 2 diabetes, also can decrease absorption of B12 in the small intestine in 10 percent to 30 percent of patients. Lastly, age can be a risk factor for B12 deficiency. Multiple studies in this and in other countries have found deficiency in 10 percent to 24 percent of people 75 and older. The causes may be both inadequate intake and inadequate absorption. Significant B12 deficiency can lead to anemia, nerve damage and dementia. But let us say your B12 levels are normal. Is there any benefit to taking more, and is there any danger in doing so? Many

SUDOKU

ASK THE DOCTORS Robert Ashley of my patients, who are not B12 deficient, feel greater energy and improvement of their health with B12 injections. I am not certain why this happens, and it doesn’t appear to have a lasting effect. It is possible extra amounts of B12 can improve the metabolic function and allow the vitamin to be utilized better. Water soluble vitamins, such as B12, can be tolerated at higher doses without adverse effects upon the body, and the National Academy of Medicine has not established an upper limit of vitamin B12 intake. The dose of 2,000 micrograms of B12 is more than 800 times the recommended daily amount. So, on the face of it, this dose seems too high, but as you increase the amount in your diet, less of a percentage will be absorbed. Before continuing the B12, I would recommend getting your levels tested with your doctor. If you show a deficiency, your doctor may want to investigate and gauge how much of the vitamin you might need. If you are not deficient, I believe it is safe to take a supplement at a lower dose; you don’t even have to take it every day because B12 is well-stored by the body. Further, if you want to ensure better absorption of B12, you can try preparations that can be absorbed under the tongue. The important thing is to investigate why this B12 dose had such an impact – and how you can safely replicate the effects.

anyone could see it. Your son may be embarrassed that you saw how dysfunctional his marriage is, and that’s why he is misdirecting his anger toward you rather than where it belongs. If your daughter-in-law is drinking from the moment she wakes up, she’s in no condition to be caring for a baby. If she is using something stronger, you need to remind your son the child’s welfare must come first. If your statement is ignored, you will have to decide whether to involve child protective services.

DEAR ABBY been married almost four years. Jeanne My husband and Phillips I are both barely 40, still quite young, but we have sex only once or twice a month. Our relationship is great, and we love each other. I just wish we had sex more often. I’ve told him I would like more, but it stays the same. When we talked about past relationships, he mentioned women hounding him to have sex, so I don’t think it’s me. I don’t want to cheat, but I’m afraid I eventually will if my needs are not met. I don’t want to leave him, but I don’t want an almost sexless marriage. He’s a very masculine man, so I don’t know how to ask him to go to the doctor to get something to increase his sex drive. Should I do that? Or should I get things to supplement our sex, like toys? – Needs More In Florida Dear Needs More: You appear to have married a very masculine man who has a very low sex drive or who may be borderline asexual. If marital aids would help you, by all means get some. You also should have a frank talk with your husband and suggest he consult his physician about the discrepancy in your sex drives. Marriage counseling might help to improve your level of communication, but if none of the above work, you will have to decide if you are prepared to live with the situation as it is. Dear Abby: I just stumbled upon my daughter-in-law’s Twitter account. She has posted half-naked pictures, talked about all the drinks she was consuming, and said if she didn’t have a child, she’d be gone. The language she used would make a sailor blush. I baby-sit for her, and I was shocked, to say the least. I foolishly posted a shocked cat on Facebook, stating “this is me reading your Twitter account.” My son is now upset with me that I read her Twitter posts. I am not sure he had seen them. I saved them on my computer, which he picked up when he was here and ran through my history. I know I didn’t handle this the right way, but she was saying she starts drinking at 7 a.m., and that “moonshine wasn’t working anymore.” I am truly concerned about the baby. What can I do to repair this situation? –

GIRLS SOCCER: CRYSTAL LAKE SOUTH 4, JACOBS 1

Gators break through

CLS’s Sengstock overcomes her frustration, nets 2 goals in victory By JOHN WILKINSON

jwilkinson@shawmedia.com ALGONQUIN – Crystal Lake South forward Courtney Sengstock was starting to get frustrated. For the first 20 minutes of Tuesday’s Fox Valley Conference game at Jacobs, Sengstock and her Gators teammates could see the gaps they wanted to exploit in the hosts’ defense but kept mistiming their runs and getting whistled offside. Finally, 21:24 into the match, Sengstock broke through with the opening goal, even though it came in the aftermath of a free kick, not a through ball. The Gators tacked on another from the penalty spot and led, 2-0, by halftime, when they got a chance to talk about what wasn’t quite working. “We had some trouble in the first half with them because their backline was playing very high, and we were not adjusting very well,” Gators coach Jay Mueller said. “But I think later on we started to make some adjustments and started to work better connecting passes and getting runs in that were timed a little better. ... “They had started to sort of figure it out late in the first half, but we still talked about it at halftime, and I think it got better in the second half still.” Emily Warren scored 2:07 into the second half, and Sengstock later got her second as the Gators went on to win, 4-1, over Jacobs. “I think at halftime we talked about what we needed to work on, because we were offsides quite a bit, actually,” Sengstock said. “We were just telling each other, ‘Work side to side rather than just running straight.’ So I think we started to curve our runs rather than just going straight on, and I think that worked better.” Jessica Schoenfeldt scored South’s other goal, converting the first-half penalty, and added two assists. “I think playing the balls through worked the most, because the gaps were very evident there,” Schoen-

It was teacher appreciation night for Jacobs, meaning the players were escorted out onto the field by a selection of teachers in tie-dye shirts. feldt said. “We could definitely pick those out, and our forward were making the right runs every time, it was just a matter of finding it.” Jacobs (8-4, 3-1 FVC) didn’t fold after going down, 3-0, early in the second half and pulled one goal back with 26:39 left to play when Baylee

Vincent lobbed a shot over South goalkeeper Annika Sevcik. “I liked that as we came onto the field for the second half, we weren’t in a down attitude,” Jacobs coach Mike Hanley said. “They still had the confidence to go out and push and still attempt to get back in the game, and they fought the whole time.” With just more than a minute left, however, Sengstock scored her second of the game to make it 4-1 and seal the victory for the Gators (11-1-1, 2-0 FVC). “It could have gotten real scary; obviously, Jacobs never quit,” Mueller said. “They never gave up, they got that goal. My girls did a great job; they didn’t hang their head, they just kept fighting and kept working to get another one of our own while being safe in the back. (We) didn’t let them get any momentum from the one they got.” Sevcik finished with five saves for the Gators, while Jacobs’ goalkeeper, Emily Pasetes, made 11 saves in the Golden Eagles’ first conference loss of the year.

“We were outcoached and outcompeted,” Betts said. “We’re right there with them at every spot. We just didn’t have the same intensity. That pretty much sealed it for us. We were not ready to compete and that’s my fault.” The Fox Valley Conference championship is determined by total points in conference duals, not a team’s overall dual-match record. So the Trojans picked up four spots in the win column Tuesday, while Jacobs picked up three. Even so, it’s a big win for the Trojans. “It tells us that we are capable of beating these teams and that we’ll have a chance to take conference,” Weber said. Schuetzle said the Trojans have hung tough with the likes of Prairie Ridge and Jacobs in recent years, but haven’t been able to secure a signature win. Until Tuesday, that is. “We haven’t had that confidence to push us over the hump,” Schuetzle said. “I’ve really been trying to work on that here with these guys and I think we’ve kind of gotten there. We’ve got to win our matches and hope we get a little help from other teams.”

SOFTBALL: HUNTLEY 11, PRAIRIE RIDGE 5

Huntley uses big 7th inning to stay perfect in FVC By TIM FROEHLIG

sports@nwherald.com CRYSTAL LAKE – For six innings, Tuesday’s Fox Valley Conference softball game between Huntley and Prairie Ridge was a gritty pitcher’s duel between Red Raiders junior Tiffany Giese and Wolves senior Hailey Baker. But that all changed when Huntley freshman cleanup hitter Teagan O’Rilley stepped to the plate with one out and a runner on first in the top of the seventh, with the game tied. That’s when O’Rilley drilled a pitch on the outer half of the plate deep to left field, which barely cleared the fence for an opposite field tworun homer. It was her second longball of the season, and the catalyst in the Red Raiders’ eight-run inning, in which they batted around and sent 12 hitters to the plate. “The pitch was low and outside, so I didn’t want to get too greedy,” O’Rilley said. “I just went with the pitch

and took it the other way. Hailey was pitching extremely well prior to that inning.” Huntley tacked on six more runs after that, and the end result was a come-from-behind 11-5 victory, as the Red Raiders (15-4, 8-0 FVC) remained unbeaten in conference play. O’Rilley was 0 for 3 before her homer, and was robbed of a hit by Wolves first baseman Sara Gelon on a rocket line drive earlier in the game. But Huntley coach Mark Petryniec had all the confidence in the world in her to come up big. “Teagan’s got nerves of steel out there, especially for someone who’s only a freshman,” Petryniec said. “She’s the most mature freshman I think I’ve ever had the experience of coaching. We’re not afraid to start a freshman, or put a freshman in a position where they can be a key contributor. “She comes from a very good softball bloodline, Her older sisters, her dad ... they were all either high level

softball players or around the game of softball at high levels. So she comes prepared for this. She’s performing. Teagan came into this game hitting .564, which is the top average on our team.” Eight of Huntley’s nine starters scored runs in the top of the seventh, and the only player who didn’t, Caitlin Brown, tallied an RBI groundout during the monster inning. Prairie Ridge scored twice in the second and once in the third to pull ahead, 3-0, before Huntley scored 11 unanswered runs. After falling behind, Giese retired nine of the next 10 batters she faced in the fourth, fifth and sixth to pick up the win. She’s now 14-3 in the pitcher’s circle this season. “I just tried to put the slow start out of my mind,” Giese said. “There was nothing I could do to change it. I just tried to keep the ball away from the middle of the plate as the game

4 BASEBALL: CRYSTAL LAKE SOUTH 2, JACOBS 0

Engelking shuts out Golden Eagles By JOE STEVENSON

joestevenson@shawmedia.com ALGONQUIN – During the tensest moment of the game, Crystal Lake South pitcher Andrew Engelking remained cool. And efficient. Always efficient. Jacobs had loaded the bases with no outs in the bottom of the fourth inning on its first two hits of the game and an error. Engelking needed four pitches to end that threat. Engelking got Ian Oreskovich on a fly ball to right field that was not deep enough to score the runner from third. He then had Cory Dennison on a sharp one-hopper back to the mound for a 1-23 double play. The Golden Eagles got only one runner as far as second base in the last three innings as Engelking finished off a 2-0 Fox Valley Conference baseball victory Tuesday, striking out four, allowing four hits and throwing 77 pitches. “I was a little nervous (in the fourth),” said Engelking, who is 5-0. “I was trying to keep the ball low. After getting the first out, I thought, ‘OK,

we’re good now.’ ” South (18-1, 9-1) remained tied with Huntley atop the conference standings. The Red Raiders beat Cary-Grove, 7-5, Tuesday. Gators coach Brian Bogda and catcher Ryan Parquette both said Engelking’s location was excellent in the game. He threw 55 strikes, 18 of which were first pitches of at-bats. “That was a key moment in the game, that 1-2-3 double play,” Bogda said. “Andrew fielding his spot and Ryan making a nice throw. That got us out of that jam, and that was the difference in the game.” Designated hitter Nick Wolski’s hard ground ball up the middle in the first inning scored courtesy runner Steven Siavelis from second base for the only run Engelking ultimately would need. Third baseman Brian Fuentes doubled into the right-center field gap in the seventh for his 27th RBI and an insurance run. “On a day like today, the wind’s howling in, there’s not a chance of any ball going anywhere,” Wolski said. “I wanted to hit a line drive or a ground

ball up the middle. It was in a good spot, just far enough away from the center fielder, not hit too hard and not hit too soft.” Engelking went through five innings with 49 pitches and had counts of two or more balls on only four hitters. “He was spot-on with his change-up and fastball, and that’s what we need from him,” Parquette said. Engelking said the wind blowing in gave pitchers an advantage and he wanted to use it. “If you put the ball in the air, it was basically going to stay in,” he said. “I wanted to throw strikes and keep the ball in play. Our game plan was to make them hit it.” Jacobs (13-6, 4-6) got a strong start from junior left-hander Justin Lavrisa (3-1), who struck out six in five innings and kept the Eagles close. “Justin was outstanding, he competed,” Jacobs coach Jamie Murray said. “A couple of innings they had some runners on and he didn’t break. Credit to them, they executed a little more than us today. We just have to get some timely hits.”

OUTSIDE THE BOX SCORE q UNSUNG HERO

Grifﬁn Bright

Crystal Lake South, sr., RF Bright ran down a fly ball off the bat of Jacobs’ Ryan McGorian in the right-field corner to lead off the second inning. He also caught a fly ball with the bases loaded and no outs in the fourth inning and quickly threw home, keeping the runner at third base.

q THE NUMBER

Batters that South pitcher Andrew Engelking went to three-ball counts on, neither of whom walked.

q AND ANOTHER THING ...

Jacobs is without center fielder Mike Addante, its leadoff man and a Nebraska signee. Addante injured his right knee on a slide in Saturday’s victory over Conant. Golden Eagles coach Jamie Murray was not sure what the extent of Addante’s injury is, as Addante is getting the knee examined further. “We want to be sure,” Murray said. “I’m never going to jeopardize a kid’s future. We’ll just hope that everything works out for Mike.”

6 CUBS 1, PIRATES 0

Hendricks baffles Pirates batters By GORDON WITTENMYER

CUBS 1, PIRATES 0

gwittenmyer@suntimes.com

PITTSBURGH – The last time Kyle Hendricks pitched in this ballpark, he threw six scoreless innings to drop his season ERA to 1.99 with one start left in September. By the time he returned to the PNC Park mound Tuesday on a drizzly night along the north bank of the Allegheny River, last year’s ERA title was a memory as distant and murky as the river bottom. But maybe there’s something in the Pittsburgh rain, something in the air. Because Hendricks rebounded from his worst three-game start of his career to rediscover enough of his 2016 self to beat Pirates ace Gerrit Cole, 1-0, with another scoreless six. He didn’t outpitch Cole, who allowed only one base hit out of the infield and didn’t walk a batter in seven dominant innings. But Hendricks certainly outperformed the Pirates hitters, his lagging velocity showing a slight uptick and allowing him to make more effective use of his change-up. Just don’t go proclaiming the majors’ reigning ERA champ is back, Hendricks said. “It’s just one start,” said Hendricks, after the Cubs won for the sixth time in seven games. “It’s not a ‘back’ thing. It’s not in the zone, dialed in like I was at the end of last year, that’s for sure. That was a completely different feeling and sensation. “But it felt a lot better, it’s a lot more on track, and I’m making a lot better pitches.” The way the hard-throwing Cole

Cubs starter Kyle Hendricks pitches in the third inning Tuesday against the Pittsburgh Pirates in Pittsburgh. The Cubs won, 1-0. looked the night after the Cubs routed the Pirates, 14-3, the Cubs looked like they might have to wait until Wednesday for a chance at their next win. But after Cole had struck out, in order, Kris Bryant, Anthony Rizzo and Ben Zobrist, shortstop Addison Russell delivered the hardest hit ball of the night off Cole – a drive to the top of the wall in right-center that missed clearing the wall by maybe a foot. When Pirates second baseman Alen Hansen threw Jason Heyward’s ensuing ground ball past first base for an error, Russell scored the only

run of the game. “Cole could not have pitched better,” Cubs manager Joe Maddon said of the right-hander, who struck out eight. “I know he’s good. I have not seen him that good.” Hendricks, whose fastball had hovered in the low 80s his previous two starts, had a fastball in the mid-80s Tuesday that touched 87 mph or 88 mph depending on the reading. By the third inning, he said, he began to find a command and rhythm that helped him retire 11 of the final 13 he faced, including two strikeouts in his final inning of work.

“We’ll take it,” he said. “One step.” A rebounding Hendricks could be huge for a Cubs team that has stutter-stepped through the first three weeks of the season mostly because of up-and-down starting pitching. After six straight games without a quality start, they now have two in a row (Brett Anderson on Monday) with Jon Lester on the mound for Wednesday’s series finale. Given the Cubs’ early surge in scoring (8.8-run average in the previous six games), the significance of a more consistent performance from the rotation is not lost on Hendricks. “That’s when the whole team just gets going, rolling on track,” he said. “The win streaks that we can put together – we saw it last year.”

NOTES

Russell’s mature approach paying off at plate By GORDON WITTENMYER gwittenmyer@suntimes.com

PITTSBURGH – Cubs shortstop Addison Russell showed it in back-toback innings in a late-inning comeback to beat the Brewers on April 19, then showed off on a career night Monday in Pittsburgh. By Tuesday, the Cubs’ youngest everyday starter used a surprisingly mature approach at the plate to drive the only hit to reach the outfield against Pirates ace Gerrit Cole to the top of the

wall in the opposite-field gap for a double. He then scored the only run Cole allowed in seven innings. “That’s kind of been my approach the whole year,” Russell said of a contact-producing approach that more often incorporates a cut-down swing that manager Joe Maddon calls a “B hack.” “I’m really not looking for a specific pitch, just something that I can handle,” Russell said. His double on a 96-mph fastball was his seventh hit in nine at-bats, a streak that included the first four-hit game of

his career Monday, spraying the ball between both gaps. When he reached out to slap a 3-2 pitch to right field for a run-scoring single last Wednesday, Maddon called it “the essence of the ‘B hack’ right there.” Russell followed the next inning with a game-winning home run, jumping on a 2-0 pitch with more of the Grade A hack he showed during his 21-homer All-Star season last year. “I’m not trying to do too much,” he said. “Just put the ball in play and see where it goes. It’s working out. It

seems like a pretty easy approach, and I’m staying with it.” Boston on horizon: Because of Tuesday’s rainout in Boston, the Cubs will miss reigning Cy Young winner Rick Porcello in their series in Boston this weekend. As the Red Sox rotation gets pushed back, the Cubs will face Drew Pomeranz in Friday’s opener. Maddon said he’s leaning toward the obvious designated hitter choice in Boston of Kyle Schwarber, but he’s staying open-minded for other possibilities throughout the series.

WHITE SOX NOTES

Putnam, Petricka can’t shake injury problems By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN vanschouwen@suntimes.com

This was going to be the year righthanders Zach Putnam and Jake Petricka put injury problems behind them and get their careers back on track. Both right-handers reclaimed their roles in the White Sox bullpen after getting through surgeries last season, Petricka for a torn labrum in his right hip in June and Putnam for bone fragments in his pitching elbow. Petricka looked strong during spring training and Putnam, after a rocky spring, opened the season with 82/3 innings of excellent work over seven appearances, allowing a run on two hits and one walk while striking out nine. His ERA sits at 1.04. And then an injury bug that is making its way through the Sox pitching staff reared its ugly head, Petricka tear-

ing his right lat in his first appearance April 4 against the Tigers and going on the disabled list, and Putnam going on the 10-day DL Tuesday (retroactive to Sunday) with elbow inflammation. “It sucks,” Petricka said. “The timing of it. It was one of those one-pitch things. You can do all the training, but they told me it was like a hamstring injury. You run down the baseline 400 times and the 401st you might end up with a hamstring issue.’’ Petricka is receiving treatment, doing exercises and waiting for a goahead to begin throwing again. Putnam exited his last outing against the Indians on Saturday, escorted by trainer Herm Schneider, during the seventh inning. He took a couple days to see if he could work through it, but it wasn’t to be. The Sox couldn’t go any longer without an arm in the bullpen, and right-hander Chris

Beck was recalled from Triple-A Charlotte to take Putnam’s spot on the 25man roster. “We needed to make a determination [Tuesday],’’ manager Rick Renteria said. The Sox have used the disabled list the fewest number of days in the major leagues since 2012, but 2017 hasn’t been so good, to pitchers in particular. Putnam joins Petricka, James Shields (lat), Carlos Rodon (biceps) and righthander Juan Minaya (abdominal strain), who was having a promising spring, on the DL. Minaya began a rehab stint with AAA Charlotte Tuesday. The Sox have more than held their own despite the injuries, at least till now. They led the majors with a 2.91 ERA through Tuesday, and the bullpen – thanks in part to boosts from right-handers such as Anthony Swar-

zak and Tommy Kahnle – second only to the Yankees with a 1.76 ERA. Beck, 26, was 1-0 with a 2.25 ERA over eight innings and five relief appearances at Charlotte In 26 games (one start) with the Sox from 2015-16, he was 2-3 with a 6.32 ERA.

That Charlotte scene

Beck, on the buzz in Charlotte, where the spike in quality prospects has heightened the interest and energy levels: “You see that MiLB says it’s the No. 1 team to watch. It’s unbelievable talent: [Yoan] Moncada, [Reynaldo] Lopez, [Lucas] Giolito, [Zack] Burdi. That’s just to name the top ones. There are plenty of great guys there, [Carson] Fulmer, [Tyler] Danish. From top to bottom. It’s almost refreshing. “All eyes are on them so you are just able to relax and play baseball.’’

• Wednesday, April 26, 2017

CHICAGO – The White Sox took early infield practice for the second day in a row Tuesday, hitting the field about 4 p.m. for a spring training-like workout. “I think it’s good for us,’’ third baseman Todd Frazier said. “It’s basically 25 to 30 ground balls [for each infielder], and it gets everyone into it. It gets everybody involved. We get a little chatter going, like spring training. Twenty-five ground balls a day is not going to kill you.’’ It’s not wiping out the Sox, who while ranking second in the major leagues in defensive efficiency ratio enjoyed their second straight offensive outburst in a 10-5 win over the Royals on Tuesday at Guaranteed Rate Field. It marked the first time the Sox scored in double digits consecutively since May 26-27, 2012, against the Indians, a breakout no one saw coming while they were scoring two or fewer runs in eight of their previous games. The Sox clobbered left-hander Danny Duffy, who entered with a 2-0 record and 1.32 ERA, for six runs on nine hits over 42/3 innings. The victory improved their record to 10-9 and dropped the Royals, who lost their sixth straight, to 7-13. Frazier, finding a rhythm at the plate

8 BEARS

No. 3 pick is fraught with danger

How often does a franchise in a 32team league get the third highest pick in the draft? Not often. So if you pick a loser with that choice, look out. The ripple effect of failure is huge. Your future might be in insurance sales or lawn care. But as a big-time NFL executive, general manager, head coach? Forget it. The Bears simply need a good quarterback, yet the situation is complex and loaded. If Clemson’s Deshaun Watson is there at No. 3 and you don’t take him, oh boy. Same with North Carolina’s Mitch Trubisky. If either turns into Warren Moon or Ben Roethlisberger, and you passed, you might as well tar and feather yourself and order that rail you’ll ride out of town. If those two turn into Jamarcus Russell or J.P. Losman, you’re off the hook. Or even Akili Smith and Tim Couch. But do you know? And how do you know? This draft will surely make or break Bears GM Ryan Pace’s future career. Same with aging head coach John Fox, who could be sent out to pasture to eat clover with other cattle from a bygone

VIEWS Rick Telander era. Last season’s 3-13 record hangs over both men’s necks like an oaken yoke. Jay Cutlers’s blasé, dispiriting run as the Bears quarterback for the past eight years put this city into suspended animation. Cutler was good enough to tantalize, bad enough to cause nightmares. And the infamous Cutler Face set us back generations in the passion department. A Bears quarterback who has to manufacture emotion is like a possum that has to manufacture teeth. Cutler hurt this NFL-loving city in numerous ways, no question about it. And that failure’s on several GMs from the past. Now the Bears have veteran quarterback Mike Glennon to replace Cutler and help us forget about that whole era. But who is Glennon? He’s 27, has started 18 NFL games, he’s tall, with a neck like a crane, and a good arm. Some folks say Glennon can be as terrific as Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan when Ryan’s cooking, or even a Manning brother, and all he needs is a

chance. Others figure he’s closer to the norm, a stopgap until something better comes along for the Bears. But let’s say Glennon is, indeed, excellent and can lead this mediocre team to wins nobody expected. That’s great. Happy day! But then he gets hurt. Nobody’s asking for this to happen. But such is the inevitable story line for quarterbacks not named Tom Brady or Brett Favre. After that the Bears would be “led” by recently acquired backup quarterback Mark Sanchez. Dear God. We’ve seen that drill when Sanchez was with the Jets and Eagles. As Donald Trump would tweet, “Not good quarterback. Bad.” So, in the froth of yet more drafting disaster, there go the careers of a number of Bears coaches and front office guys, (although no McCaskeys will depart, since they wear bullet-proof DNA overcoats.) And all this turbulence occurs because the Bears didn’t take a young, star-in-the-making, quarterback with that No. 3 pick. But…but if they do take a QB at No. 3 – assuming they don’t trade up or down or anywhere else – and that youngster becomes a budding Cade McNown or Moses Moreno – the death spiral has

merely been delayed for a year or two. It’s a fact the Bears have seen more terrible quarterbacks than most squirrels have seen nuts. There’s a reason they pay guys like Pace and Fox millions of dollars. They’re supposed to know things we don’t, to have skills we never will. So it’s within their pay scale to figure out this risk/reward algorithm and get it right. Myself, if Watson were there and ready to roll, I’d snatch him in a heartbeat. He would represent hope and potential, two things the Bears have little of these days. We’d all be delighted to see Watson grow into a leadership role, at least for a while. After that it would be, produce or take a hike, kid. Such is life. So fix it fast, Bears. You go something like 3-13 again and get another No. 3 pick as your reward, you might as well fire everybody as high up as possible and fumigate Halas Hall. Either that, or switch to insurance sales and lawn care. Much easier jobs. • Rick Telander is a sports columnist for the Chicago Sun-Times. He can be reached at rtelander@suntimes. com.

Bears willing, but moving down won’t be easy By PATRICK FINLEY

pfinley@suntimes.com

The Bears are open to trading down from the No. 3 spot in the NFL draft Thursday, but they likely will struggle to find a partner. Call it the Noah’s Ark Effect. The tier below Texas A&M edge rusher Myles Garrett, the presumptive top pick, features two safeties, LSU’s Jamal Adams and Ohio State’s Malik Hooker, and two 3-4-scheme defensive linemen, Alabama’s Jonathan Allen and Stanford’s Solomon Thomas. “Why am I going to move up for Jamal Adams and give away a second- and a third-round pick if I can get Malik Hooker?” ESPN analyst Todd McShay said. “Why am I going to move up for Jonathan Allen or Solomon Thomas and give away a secondand third-round pick when I can get the other guy? There’s just too many players in a similar grade area for teams to be willing to give up stuff to

go move up.” The Bears’ trade hopes could be saved by a ho-hum quarterback class, provided they don’t want to pick a passer at No. 3 themselves. None of the top four quarterbacks – North Carolina’s Mitchell Trubisky, Clemson’s Deshaun Watson, Texas Tech’s Patrick Mahomes and Notre Dame’s DeShone Kizer – are considered a sure thing. Still, a team with a glaring need could fall in love with one. And teams aren’t likely to lump them together the way they do the top defensive players. So if a team trades into the top five, it likely will be for a passer. “Some people have Kizer at the top of their board, some have Trubisky, some have Watson, some have Mahomes,” Pro Football Focus’ Steve Palazzolo said. “I think you might actually start seeing more teams maneuvering to get their guy.” Two teams did that last year, and one paid the price.

The Rams fired their coach after top overall pick Jared Goff flopped. They traded a first-round pick last year and this year, plus much more, to get him. The Eagles, however, helped themselves by making a similar deal for another quarterback, No. 2 pick Carson Wentz. History hasn’t been kind to those who move up to the third spot. In the past 16 years, the third pick has been dealt twice with disastrous results. The Dolphins traded up to No. 3 to select defensive end Dion Jordan in 2013, and the Browns did the same to take running back Trent Richardson a year earlier. They are two of the worst topfive picks of the past 10 years. The Bears should hope that, against all odds, someone else wants to make a similar bet this year. “The more analytics and different things are incorporated into the decision-making with teams, most teams are itching to trade down,” Palazzolo said. “At some point, you’re going to

run out of trade-up partners.” The Bears should want to move down. Record depth at cornerback and tight end – two glaring needs – will drive general manager Ryan Pace to pursue extra Day 2 draft picks. “At a certain point, from 10 to 50, you’re getting a similar player,” former Browns GM Phil Savage said. That should keep other teams from aggressively moving up. “That’s really where this draft stands apart from some of the years in the past: The second- and third-round picks really are gold this year just because there’s exceptional depth at a couple positions that are normally difficult to find,” CBS Sports analyst Rob Rang said. “I think teams are going to be very loath to give those picks up to move up the four, five spots it might take to get their first choice as a player. If they can get their consolation prize, so to speak, by holding pat, why not do that?”

I’m sure God has many other great plans for him and us!” She wiped away tears as she watched her new husband, dressed in a suit, nervously discuss his decision. The news was the latest blow to the stock car series, which lost two other popular drivers in Gordon and Tony Stewart to retirement the past two years.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – It’s never easy to be the son of a legend, especially when he is a tough-as-nails hero and the most feared man in his profession. Follow in his footsteps? Forget it. Just being able to drive cars was enough for Dale Earnhardt Jr., and if it made his daddy proud, well, hopefully somebody would tell him. The Earnhardt era of NASCAR opened its final chapter Tuesday when the driver known simply as Junior said he will retire at the end of this season, his 18th in the Cup series. It will bring to a close the golden days of the sport, when Lee and Richard Petty helped build a stock car series that they turned over to Dale Earnhardt to carry into the next phase. When Earnhardt died on the final lap of the 2001 Daytona 500, the burden fell on a young Earnhardt Jr. to fill a void and help heal the broken hearts of Earnhardt Nation. His decision to walk away did not come lightly for NASCAR’s most popular driver and it is a blow to a series scrambling to hang onto its fans. “When my dad was doing so well and there were a couple of guys coming into the sport

my driving career may have already ended without me so much as getting a vote on the table. Of course, in life we’re not promised a vote, and that’s especially true in racing.” Colorful, candid and talented, Earnhardt has been plagued by concussions the last several years and he missed half of last season recovering from a head injury. He had delayed contract talks on an extension to drive the No. 88 Chevrolet, and the two-time Daytona 500 winner will now call it quits when the season ends in November. “You deserve everything, all the awards and all of the accolades,” Hendrick said. “There will never be another Dale Earnhardt Jr. You’re the one.” The news shocked and saddened drivers throughout the paddock. “He has a tremendous sense of the history of NASCAR and, while he shares his father’s name, Dale has made a name for himself with his accomplishments in racing,” said Jeff Gordon, former teammate at Hendrick and once one of Dale Earnhardt’s biggest rivals. Steve Letarte, the crew chief tasked with rebuilding Earnhardt’s shattered confidence during a lengthy slump in his career, said Earnhardt can’t be measured simply as a race car driver. “Dale is all encompassing,”

BLACKHAWKS

By MARK LAZERUS

acquisitions such as Andrew Ladd, Dale Weise, Tomas Fleischmann and Johnny Oduya yielding little results, some of them at very high costs. But McDonough has no plan to reorganize the front office. There will not be a president of hockey operations, or any other new position, overseeing Bowman. “I’m very happy with the job that Stan has done, but I’m looking for improvement,” McDonough said. “Improvement on the coaching side, improvement from my own perspective. I’m fortunate enough to work for the best owner in professional sports (Rocky Wirtz) and he has an obligation to assess my performance, and it hasn’t been good enough the last two years. I don’t think that anybody here at any given point is ever comfortable. But overall, if you’re asking me about the body of work of Stan Bowman and Joel Quenneville, I think they’ve both done extraordinarily well.” But this clarion call for change from Bowman and McDonough will be difficult to turn into meaningful action. With so much cap space tied up in the core players, and their eight most ex-

pensive players all owning no-movement clauses, there won’t be a massive overhaul. It’s going to be up to the younger players who flamed out in the playoffs to take the next step, and the core players – who have logged heavy miles over the years – to stay at an elite level. And that won’t be easy. The Hawks are still loaded with talent, still coming off a 50-win season, and still sure to be a playoff team for years to come. But there’s a growing concern that those five deep playoff runs have expedited the aging process, which could expedite the Hawks’ demise. “I’m concerned 24 hours a day; I live in a world of concern,” McDonough said. “Not just about that. But I’m confident that there’s a lot of gas still left in the tank for those guys. … This Nashville sweep, I just don’t think anyone could have envisioned this. But it gives us a chance to recalibrate. Change is inevitable and we’re reviewing everything: drafting, developing, coaching, scouting, business operations. And we’re going to have more time to do all that – two more months than we ever anticipated.”

CHICAGO – John McDonough wants to make one thing clear: The Blackhawks didn’t just lose their firstround series against the Nashville Predators. They were beaten. Badly. “We were steamrolled,” McDonough told the Sun-Times on Tuesday. “Give Nashville credit. We can sit back here and say we’re angry and we’re frustrated and it’s unacceptable. But they beat us. They blew us out. We got beat four straight. And we scored in two of 13 periods. This wasn’t a fluke.” And that makes it even more difficult to swallow. So add McDonough to the list of Hawks officials who are fuming over the sweep, who are taking precious little solace in the second 50-win regular season in franchise history, and who see it as a mandate for change throughout the organization. And with McDonough’s old team, the Cubs, seizing the championship spotlight and the citywide adoration that used to belong exclusively to the Hawks, there’s surely a sense of urgency to get back on top after two straight first-round exits.

“It’s certainly a wake-up call, for sure,” McDonough said of the sweep. “And I’m not a sentimentalist. I don’t get caught reminiscing about three Stanley Cups or parades or anything like that. It’s up to Stan [Bowman] and his staff to figure this out on the hockey side.” Bowman followed up Monday’s firing of Joel Quenneville’s friend, confidante and assistant coach Mike Kitchen by dismissing longtime Rockford IceHogs coach Ted Dent on Tuesday. John McDonough Bowman still runs such moves by McDonough, but the Hawks president said Bowman has total autonomy to make those decisions, and McDonough fully supported them – and the man who made them. Bowman was at the helm for all three Stanley Cups, and had his fingerprints all over the 2013 and 2015 championships, successfully navigating the salary cap and retooling around former GM Dale Tallon’s core. But he’s had more swings and misses than hits lately, with failed deadline

McDonough: Getting swept ‘unacceptable’

Wade needs to have one of his ‘moments’ By JOE COWLEY

jcowley@suntimes.com There’s a certain amount of self-awareness Dwyane Wade has these days. Holding up the Larry O’Brien Trophy on three occasions and 14 years of experience in the Association, well, it’s either be self-aware or be retired. So, of course, Wade knows that his Bulls team needs one of those “Dwyane Wade moments” sooner than later in this playoff series with the top-seeded Celtics. Especially since the momentum has been ripped from them, watching a 2-0 lead in the best-of-seven series now sitting tied at 2-2. “I was just talking to coach [Fred Hoiberg] about that,” Wade said of his role moving forward. “Obviously with [Rajon] Rondo going down [with a fractured right thumb], the ball’s going to be a lot more in my hands. But I talked to coach about it, there were a couple opportunities where I could have been more aggressive. Some of it is on me, sometimes when I’m running the offense, I’m doing it. I’m passive. “I come off and the first screen is a pick-and-roll, I get off of it, and it doesn’t come back. So I have to figure out a way to, certain times be more aggressive than I was last game. And I’ll figure it out. I’ve been playing a long time, so I’ll leave it up to myself to figure it out.” Wade hasn’t been bad through the first four games. He just hasn’t exactly been good. The veteran guard was averaging 34.3 minutes, 15.5 points, 4.0 rebounds and 3.3 assists a game against Bos-

His game-high in the series came in Game 2 when he scored 22 points. But considering all the attention Jimmy Butler is drawing from the Boston defense, the Bulls need one of those games Wade threw at Toronto in the Eastern Conference semifinals last May. Wade put up 38 in Game 3 in that series, and then followed that up with 30 in Game 4.

The hope is now a year older, he can still “figure it out.” What Wade won’t get caught up in, and has been warning his teammates to stay away from, is the extracurricular activities that went on in Game 4. Whether it was “shoe-gate” between Robin Lopez and Jae Crowder or the war of words between Butler and Marcus Smart, Wade told his teammates that extra drama just happens when you play the same team over and over. “Those things are a part of basketball,” Wade said. “You’re playing those guys, you seeing them every other day, you get aggravated by the little things they do. And that’s all it is. At the end of the day the focus is on what it needs to be, and that’s basketball. “The coaches play their games in the media and all these things, but we’re focused on the game of basketball. When you’re out there, it’s a physical sport, a testy sport. But at the end of the day you have two teams trying to win and doing whatever it takes.” The other warning Wade offered up to his teammates? Momentum is fragile, and takes very little to grab back. “Obviously, the momentum points to Boston,” Wade said. “They’ve got two of the last three at home. But in the playoff series, especially the way it’s going each game is different. “Let’s see how the slugfest goes. It’s one of those weird series from the outside, but both teams have done what they need to do in the games that they’ve won, and that’s what it’s been all about.”

A beer, like pop music, is never really a finished product, even after it has been released to and enjoyed by the masses. If a brewer decides to tweak the hop bill or use a different malt, he or she can toy with these elements while still keeping the essence of the beer, the same way a producer or DJ can release remixes of a the latest chart-topper. Brian Strumke, the man behind Stillwater Artisanal Ales, is open to taking a fresh look at his most established brands: He has made “Amazonian Remixes” of Cellar Door and Stateside saisons, adding tropical Brazilian About the brew fruits; Lower Dens, a saison inspired by the music of Stillwater Stateside Saison, the Baltimore band Lower www.stillwater-artisanal.com.

This spring, Strumke is taking aim at Stateside Saison, one of his first beers, with a new “2017 Remastered” edition. It’s dry-hopped with Nelson Sauvin and Simcoe, and has an attractive new retro can design to boot. This is still one of the better saisons around, shot through with lemon grass, floral notes, citrus and a touch of honey. There’s a noticeably earthy, grassy funk and bitterness to the finish that I don’t remember from the previous version, with extra tartness and sweet fruit. The can looks like it was designed for summer cookouts, but Stateside isn’t quite a beach beer – while delicious and

Mushroom and Cheese Burritos

Mushrooms top Meatless Mondays By SARA MOULTON The Associated Press

Mushroom and Cheese Burritos are a delicious vegetarian dish hearty enough to satisfy even the most die-hard carnivore in your family: a burrito stuffed with portobello mushrooms, chiles and cheese. It’s perfect for Meatless Mondays and – bonus! – all the ingredients are cooked together in a single rimmed sheet pan, which means cleanup is a snap. Those steaklike portobellos are the ingredient around which this recipe is built. Prepping them is a two-step process. First, clean the caps by wiping them with a wet paper towel. Second, use a spoon (a grapefruit spoon is best, if you have one) to scrape out the gills on the underside of the caps. (They become soggy when cooked and stain everything black.) Watery as they are, mushrooms nonetheless soak up additional liquid like a sponge. In this case, the flavorings are lime juice, minced garlic and cumin, all of which are absorbed by the portobellos while the rest of the vegetables are being broiled. First in the sheet pan is the poblano. You want to brown it lightly on all sides, which makes it easy to peel off its tough skin. Then the onion, garlic and cherry tomatoes are broiled until slightly charred and tender. I chose cherry

tomatoes because they may be small, but they boast the most tomato-y flavor when the big guys aren’t yet in season. All of these supporting vegetables are quickly chopped in a food processor while the mushrooms take their turn in the oven. The last step is to stir together all the veggies and wrap them in the tortillas. I like to add sharp cheddar cheese to this recipe, but if your crowd is vegan, leave it out.

Orange and Cucumber Layered Salad with Shrimp AP photo

Stuck for a side dish? Grab a few oranges By MELISSA D’ARABIAN The Associated Press

My mom was a wannabe urban farmer long before it was cool. Living in the city limits didn’t stop us from growing our own veggies in a backyard garden that flanked a huge handmade chicken coop, where we raised hens for eggs. Today, raising your own food is trendy, but back then we did it because it was cheap. As a kid, I remember being sent to the backyard to grab a snack. I’d forgo the plethora of fuzzy zucchini, and grab either a tomato or orange. Biting into a sun-warmed fruit, laced with just the tiniest bit of clinging dirt, sweet juice dripping down my chin in the dry heat of Tucson, Arizona, is a memory stuck in my bones. No surprise oranges and tomatoes were interchangeable snacks, both of them sweet, acidic and juicy. Turns out, oranges and tomatoes are worthy swaps for each other in a host of raw recipes. So if you are out of tomatoes, or they are simply out of season, consider using oranges instead, tasty yearround. The additional sweetness is a welcome twist in most recipes, but if you want a less sweet option, use grapefruit, or a combination of cucumber and oranges instead.

Orange and Cucumber Layered Salad with Shrimp Start to finish: 30 minutes Servings: 2

1 medium naval or cara cara orange (or grapefruit), peeled, sliced, membrane and seeds removed 1 medium blood red orange, peeled, sliced, membrane and seeds removed 1/2 English cucumber, thinly sliced 1/4 medium avocado, sliced 1/4 fennel bulb, core removed, thinly sliced 1/4 small red onion, thinly sliced (To mellow the red onion flavor, shock the red onion slices by placing for 10 seconds in ice cold water, and then blot dry) 1 cup watercress (or arugula or other favorite greens) 6 ounces steamed shrimp 1 tablespoon toasted pumpkin seeds (or other nut or seed) 1-2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice or orange juice 2 teaspoons high quality extra virgin olive oil 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt 1/4 teaspoon black pepper Optional: chopped fennel fronds for garnish Layer the orange slices and cucumber on a platter. Top with the avocado slices, fennel slices, watercress, shrimp and pumpkin seeds. Squeeze the lemon or orange juice over the whole salad, and then drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, and fennel fronds, if using.

This lemon sauce is such a simple way to dress up roasted asparagus, the pinup vegetable of spring ... or any simply cooked asparagus for that matter, such as grilled, steamed or sautéed. In fact, this sauce also is a quick and easy way to dress up pretty much any plainly cooked vegetable, from potatoes to green beans to broccoli. The sauce is vivid with citrus and a bit of hot sauce. The creaminess comes from creme fraiche, and sour cream or Greek yogurt could be substituted in if you like. If you are using thicker asparagus, think about peeling the lower parts of the stalks, which results in a stalk that is tender from stem to stern. Lastly, if you would like to add a sprinkle of fresh herbs on top, anything from parsley to basil to chervil would be lovely.

Strawberry dessert inspired by cannoli The Associated Press

I developed this recipe to take advantage of strawberry season. The sweet spot of the year when you can count on finding juicy, delicious and locally grown strawberries at your supermarket or farmer’s market is April through June. The filling used to stuff these berries is a twist on the mixture of ricotta cheese, candied orange and chocolate that’s piped into cannoli. The difference is that I substituted Neufchatel for ricotta because it’s tangier and more assertive and teams up better with the berries. This dessert is a simple and elegant way to end a meal now that spring has sprung – and it only takes 20 minutes to make.

Italian Stuffed Strawberries Start to finish: 20 minutes Servings: 4

1 pound strawberries

1ST ANNUAL

2 ounces Neufchatel or one-third less-fat cream cheese (about 1/4 cup), softened 1 teaspoon sugar 3/4 ounce bittersweet or semi-sweet chocolate, finely chopped 1 teaspoon grated orange zest Cut each strawberry in half lengthwise through the cap. Arrange the strawberry halves, cut side up, on a serving plate. Trim a thin slice from the bottom if necessary to make each half sit evenly. Using a small spoon or melon baller, scoop out a hollow in the center of the cut side of each strawberry. Reserve the strawberry scraps for another use (or eat them). In a small bowl combine the cream cheese and sugar; stir in the chocolate and orange zest. Divide the cream cheese mixture into the hollows in the strawberries and serve.

desired, peel the lower 2 inches of the stalks. Place the asparagus in a shallow baking pan or rimmed baking sheet. Don’t worry if the stalks overlap a bit. Drizzle the tablespoon of olive oil over them and toss gently to coat the asparagus evenly. Sprinkle on the salt and pepper, toss again and spread out in the pan. Roast the asparagus for about 10 minutes, until just tender and slightly browned. Remember that they will continue to cook a bit after you remove them from the oven, so take them out while they’re still a little firmer than you would like. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, zest, crème fraiche and Sriracha until smooth. Slowly pour in the 1/3 cup olive oil, whisking all the while until the dressing is thick, then season with salt and pepper. Let the asparagus cool slightly, and while still warm drizzle some of the lemon sauce over it. Serve right away with the rest of the sauce passed on the side for people to add if desired.

READER NOTICE:

Every now and then, one of my students does something especially meritorious. I used this deal in a class last month. How should the play go in four spades after the defenders take two heart tricks, then shift, say, to a diamond? If South misplays the trump suit, is there a way to recover with this layout? With that North hand, I would have raised to three no-trump, thinking the heart king would bolster that suit. Here, though, that would have worked poorly, East-West taking the first five tricks in the suit. In four spades, declarer has three side-suit losers: two hearts and one diamond. He must play the trump suit without loss. East needs to hold the spade king. But it might be necessary to take the trump finesse three times. This requires staying on the board for as long as possible. If you wish to keep repeating a finesse, first lead the lowest card that will hold the trick if the finesse is successful. Here, after ruffing a heart on the board, declarer should start with dummy’s nine. When that finesse works, South continues with dummy’s queen. Now East cannot win. Declarer takes four spades, two diamonds, three clubs and a heart ruff in the dummy. Etsie Bailey of Hobe Sound, Florida (who is 95, but you’d never guess), first ran dummy’s queen, playing the four from hand. The second round of spades went to her jack, but West discarded a heart. Unfazed, Etsie cashed her top clubs and diamonds, then, at trick 11, led her diamond six. East had to win and lead away from the spade king-six. The class gave her a round of applause.
