TODAY’S TALKER

United moves to ease criticism The daily with settlement, new policies TWEET @NWHerald

By DAVID KOENIG

The Associated Press DALLAS – United Airlines moved to staunch criticism – and any customer defections – by reaching a settlement Thursday with a passenger dragged off one of its planes two weeks ago and issuing new policies designed to prevent similar customer-service failures.

On April 9, Kentucky physician David Dao was forcibly removed from a flight after refusing to give up his seat to a crew member. The incident ignited a debate about poor service and a lack of customer-friendly policies on U.S. airlines.

United and lawyers for Dao declined to disclose financial terms of the settlement Thursday. Earlier, United announced steps it would take to reduce overbooking of flights. Among other things, the airline said it will raise the limit on payments to customers who give up seats on oversold flights to $10,000, and it will improve training of employees.

Dao’s lead attorney, Thomas Demetrio, praised the airline and its CEO, Oscar Munoz, for accepting responsibility and not blaming others, including the city of Chicago, whose airport security officers yanked Dao from his seat and dragged him off the United Express plane.

Dao never filed a lawsuit against United, but Demetrio had said legal action was likely.

Dao was waiting to fly to Louisville, Kentucky, on April 9 when the airline decided it needed four seats for Republic Airline crew members who needed to travel to work another United Express flight in Louisville the next morning. When Dao and his wife were selected for bumping, he refused to leave.

Video of the incident has sparked more than two weeks of withering criticism and mockery of United. Munoz initially blamed Dao, but later said he was horrified by the event and called it a failure on United’s part.

On Thursday, United released a report on the incident that outlined new policies to prevent a repeat.

The airline vowed to reduce, but not eliminate, overbooking – the selling of more tickets than there are seats on the plane.

United won’t say whether ticket sales have dropped, but the airline’s CEO acknowledged the Dao incident could be damaging.

“I breached public trust with this event and

how we responded,” Oscar Munoz said. “People are upset, and I suspect that there are a lot of people potentially thinking of not flying us.”

To head off customer defections, United had already announced that it will no longer call police to remove passengers from overbooked flights, and will require airline crews traveling for work to check in sooner. On Thursday, it added several other new policies including: • Raising the limit on compensation to $10,000 for customers who give up their seats starting Friday. That is a maximum – it’s unclear how many, if any, passengers would see that much. The current limit is $1,350. Delta Air Lines earlier this month raised its limit to $9,950.

• Sending displaced passengers or crew members to nearby airports, putting them on other airlines or arranging for car transportation to get them to their destinations.

• Giving gate agents annual refresher training in dealing with oversold flights. Munoz said he also wants agents and flight attendants to get more help at de-escalating tense situations.

While not a factor in this month’s incident, United also said that starting in June it will pay customers $1,500 with no questions asked if the airline loses their bag.

For United, the timing of the viral video could hardly have been worse. The airline struggled badly after a 2010 merger with Continental, enduring several technology breakdowns that angered customers. In the past year, however, the airline has flown more ontime flights and lost fewer bags. It recently rolled out plans for expanding service this summer.

Instead of being commended for those signs of progress, United has been pilloried. Munoz apologized again and faulted his own initial response, in which he defended airline employees and called Dao belligerent.

“That first response was insensitive beyond belief,” Munoz said. “It did not represent how I felt,” saying that he got “caught up in facts and circumstances” that weren’t initially clear, instead of expressing his shock.

United said it will reduce overbooking, particularly on flights with a poor track record of finding volunteers to give up their seats, but won’t end the practice. Munoz said if airlines can’t overbook there will be more empty seats and fares will rise.

Oakwood Hills police chief focusing on the future despite controversy

By JORDYN REILAND

jreiland@shawmedia.com OAKWOOD HILLS – The village’s new chief of police, Valiza Nash, comes to the area with a decorated past and big plans for the future, but after only a few months on the job, she’s already facing controversy and calls for her department to be disbanded.

Much of the controversy spilled out last month over the hiring of an officer who filed a federal lawsuit against the municipality he previously worked for, but there’s also an online petition circulating among some residents that calls for getting rid of the Oakwood Hills Police Department and having the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office take over.

After spending more than two decades with the North Chicago Police Department, Nash retired as a sergeant and shift commander to accept the chief of police position in Oakwood Hills.

Nash, 51, was interviewed along with two other candidates for the job.

The Oakwood Hills Village Board unanimously voted Feb. 7 to appoint Nash to the job.

Village Trustee Kristina Zahorik said she knew Nash personally and didn’t participate in the interview process. However, Zahorik did vote for Nash’s appointment. Trustees Mark Wise and Kerry Leigh were absent from the special meeting and didn’t vote, according to meeting minutes.

Nash replaced part-time Police Chief Peter Goldman, who was involved in a car crash last fall and had not been able to return to his duties. Village President Paul Smith removed Goldman from his position a week before Nash was hired. Nash is the first full-time police chief in many years. She said she will be paid $47,500 a year.

The department has six officers, including Nash. Most of them are part time.

Nash said the department soon will have a full-time police officer after training is completed this summer. Police department spending accounted for about 35 percent of the village’s $737,275 budget, according to Oakwood Hills 2016-17 budget.

Although the move came a few years before Nash planned to retire,

Police officer Ramtin Sabet (left) talks with Oakwood Hills Police Chief Valiza Nash on Tuesday at the police station in Oakwood Hills.

There has been some controversy since Nash was hired in February about the hiring of Sabet, who sued the city of North Chicago after he was fired from its police department. she said she couldn’t pass up the opportunity.

“I wasn’t ready for it yet – I wanted at least three more years in North Chicago. … But it came about, and you’ve got to take the opportunities as they come,” she said.

Nash said that although North Chicago is larger than Oakwood Hills, the crimes are not necessarily unique.

“You have the same crimes, it’s just a different zip code … just maybe not as frequent,” she said.

Nash first realized she wanted to get into law enforcement after her brother was accused of a crime he didn’t commit in the late 1970s and she saw firsthand the effects of what bad policing can do to a person.

“I wanted to be a part of stopping that within the law enforcement community,” she said.

Now that she’s getting into to her new position, Nash has some changes to make.

She said she plans to bring the department into the 21st century with updated technology. Through grants and other sources of funding, Nash said she’s looking into body cameras, LiveScan fingerprinting and an updated evidence management system.

The department also has started a Facebook page to share what’s going on at the department.

The department will participate in the annual National Night Out event as well as the Law Enforcement Torch Run, and it also plans to start a Citizens Police Academy and Police Explorer program.

Nash said all of these efforts focus around one common goal: community policing.

“It’s going back to the basics. That’s how we know our community and bridge the gap between law enforcement and the community,” she said.

Nash’s tenure hasn’t been without controversy.

Several residents and one Village Board member raised concerns about an officer who has joined the department since Nash was appointed chief. The hiring of the officer, Ramtin Sabet, was the source of some concern at a Village Board meeting in March. During public comments, Joe Fritts, Kurt Hummel, Jeanne Cantrell and John Tuohy expressed concerns about Sabet, according to meeting minutes.

After a discussion about Sabet, including negative comments and positive commendations from his work in North Chicago, the Village Board voted, 4-1, to hire him. Wise cast the only vote in opposition. Trustee Leigh was absent from the meeting.

“Trustee Zahorik added that Mr. Sabet was very upfront about allegations against him and was forthcoming with answers to the committee

bkeeperman@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – Police arrested nine teenagers Wednesday and Thursday in connection with a stabbing earlier this month that closed down Route 14 while police searched the area.

On April 3, officers were called to the 400 block of West Virginia Street in Crystal Lake where they found two people who had serious stab wounds.

During the three-week investigation, police discovered a fight had broken out on the 400 block of Berkshire Drive after an attempted robbery. Several people involved didn’t cooperate with investigators, police said.

The suspects used baseball bats during the planned robbery attempt, and one of the robbery victims stabbed two of the suspects – Tyler Novak and Thomas Madura – with a knife during the attack, police said.

The victims weren’t charged because they were acting in self-defense, Deputy Police Chief Derek Hyrkas said. Hyrkas declined to comment on whether the victims had any connection to the nine suspects.

“I am not going to get into that detail,” he said. “The case was complex and took a while, and there was a lack of cooperation with a lot of the people involved. A lot will come out appropriately in court.”

All of the suspects were involved

Dylan P. Macari

Thomas S. Madura

Geoffrey M. Miller

in some way with the robbery, Hyrkas said. He declined to say what the suspects were trying to steal.

Six men and three boys face charges of vehicular invasion, aggravated robbery, attempted aggravated robbery, mob action, aggravated battery with a deadly weapon and two counts of aggravated battery in a public place. If convicted of the most serious offense, a Class 1 felony, the men could face four to 15 years in prison.

The men are Davon E. Manning, 18, of Crystal Lake; Brandon D. Rosas, 18, of Crystal Lake; Dylan P. Macari, 18, of Huntley; Geoffrey M. Miller, 18, of Lake in the Hills; Thomas S. Madura, 18, of Crystal Lake; and Tyler A. Novak, 18, of Lake in the Hills.

All were taken to jail and held in lieu of $75,000 or $80,000 bond. Since then, Novak, Miller and Macari posted bond and were released.

The boys were not named because of their age, police said. They were taken to the Kane County Juvenile Justice Center in St. Charles. They will remain there pending a hearing in juvenile

Brandon D. Rosas

court, police said.

All of the men are scheduled to be in court at 9 a.m. May 10 at the McHenry County Courthouse in Woodstock.

At least one of the men arrested made gang references in social media posts, but police declined to say whether the incident involved gang activity. On Feb. 21, Manning posted a status update on his Facebook profile that referred to gang activity and “snitchin.”

“I am not going to get into details on whether it was gang-related,” Hyrkas said.

“The whole thing is so complex we will rely on prosecutors to present in court before more information is released.”

Both Novak and Macari had been athletes at Huntley High School. Novak played varsity baseball, and Macari played varsity football.

Hyrkas said that there is no reason to believe the public is in danger.

“Our community is very safe. This stuff doesn’t happen very often at all,” he said. “We feel very strongly this is isolated. It was not random. These individuals planned this. We feel confident the public has nothing to fear.”

Jury finds McHenry man guilty of robbing discount cigarette store

By JORDYN REILAND

jreiland@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – McHenry County jurors this week found a McHenry man guilty of robbing a Discount Cigarette and Cigar Center in 2014.

Prosecutors said Kyle Griebel, 24, entered the store, 4226 Elm St., McHenry, wearing a Halloween goblin mask.

Griebel pointed what first appeared to be a handgun at the store clerk, threatened to shoot him and demanded

money. He also was accompanied by a juvenile who served as a lookout.

Griebel got away with about $2,000 and cigarettes, prosecutors said. The McHenry Police Department re- Kyle Griebel sponded to the robbery shortly after the clerk’s 911 call, but police were unable to make an identification of the suspects because they wore gloves and masks.

The case remained unsolved for

about 18 months until last July, when Griebel and the juvenile were arrested. Police also determined that the gun used in the robbery was a BB gun manufactured to look like a handgun, prosecutors said.

On Tuesday, jurors found Griebel guilty of aggravated robbery and theft by force.

He faces up to 14 years in prison and will be sentenced June 14.

Griebel previously was convicted of burglary and unlawful possession of a controlled substance.

Woman killed by Metra train in Woodstock NORTHWEST HERALD WOODSTOCK – A commuter train struck and killed a woman early Thursday in Woodstock.

Woodstock police were called at 2:05 a.m. to the 500 block of Lake Avenue for a report of a pedestrian collision on the railroad tracks.

Responding officers found a 35-year-

old woman dead at the scene on the train tracks near 508 Lake Ave., Woodstock. The woman was struck by a westbound train on its way to Harvard from Chicago, according to a news release from the Woodstock Police Department.

The identity of the woman was not released.

The train was delayed about an hour while Woodstock police and rep-

LOCAL BRIEF

Doctor sentenced to 9 years in prison for health care fraud NORTHWEST HERALD ROCKFORD – A suspended physician was sentenced to nine years in federal prison Thursday on charges of federal health care fraud, according to the U.S. Department of Justice.

Charles S. DeHaan, 62, of Belvidere pleaded guilty May 20 to two counts of health care fraud in a scheme to defraud Medicare that included billing and overbilling Medicare for the treatment of deceased patients.

According to the written plea agreement, DeHaan was an Illinois-licensed physician who between January 2009 and Jan. 24, 2014, primarily billed Medicare for in-home patient visits and certifications for patients he deemed housebound.

DeHaan admitted in the plea agreement that he knew Medicare authorized payment for physician services and home visits only if the services were provided and were medically required because of a disease, infirmity

resentatives from the Union Pacific Police Department and Metra Police Department investigated.

Deputy Police Chief Jeffrey Parsons said foul play was not suspected in the death, and no additional information is available at this time.

Woodstock police and the McHenry County Coroner’s Office are investigating the incident.

or impairment.

The plea agreement said that DeHaan billed Medicare when he knew he did not have any reimbursable medical service to provide patients. As a result, DeHaan would bill Medicare at the highest reimbursement rates for routine, noncomplex visits with new patients, even though he knew the visits would not qualify for the highest levels, according to a news release.

DeHaan also would bill Medicare for patients he had never treated and for some patients who had died before the date of the alleged visit, according to the release.

DeHaan was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Frederick J. Kapala. The government was represented by assistant U.S. attorneys Scott R. Paccagnini and Talia Bucci.

This April, learn about plants that sometimes invade and take over native habitats during a self-guided Valley Nature Detective adventure. Start at Lost Valley Visitor Center in Glacial Park, Route 31 and Harts Road, Ringwood.

Indoor displays and activities will get visitors ready for an outdoor exploration.

Check out the free exploration backpack with binoculars and field guides, and grab a scavenger hunt to help visitors search the wild spaces of Glacial Park.

Visitors also can play a game to understand more clearly how invasive species can be harmful. Make an invasive plant field guide and hike the trails to see if you can tell the difference between the native plants and an invader.

Stop by the Lost Valley Visitor Center, open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily. Visitors who wish to borrow items to take out for a hike must leave a driver’s license and must return items 30 minutes before closing. For information, call Prairieview Education Center at 815-479-5779.

Electronic voting will be used for all roll call votes, except for attendance or in situations in which the equipment is malfunctioning. 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.

County staff has said that finances, available staff and other factors make expanding electronic voting to committee meetings impractical for the time being.

However, the committee Thursday tweaked the rules on the advice of Mike Skala, R-Huntley, to leave open the possibility of having electronic voting in committee meetings if it can be done sooner.

“I don’t want a definitive [no] in the board rules because maybe in a year, a year and a half, it will be different,” Skala said.

The system will go live at the County Board’s voting meeting in June if members approve the rule changes in May.

McHenry County College will offer an Energetic Aromatherapy course from May 5 to 7 in Room A117 at the college, 8900 Route 14, Crystal Lake.

In the Introduction to Essential Oils course, learn how to select the appropriate essential oil for yourself and your clients and a variety of techniques for utilizing essential oils in your daily life. In the three-day Energetic Aromatherapy course, participants will learn how to work with essential oils in the human body field to shift the field into harmony and balance. The class will take place from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. May 5, and from 10 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. May 6 and 7.

Each course fee is $375, with an additional student material fee of $125.

To register call the MCC Registration Office at 815-455-8588. Use course code QHH C04 00 2 for Introduction to Essential Oils and QHH C03 002 for Energetic Aromatherapy.

WOODSTOCK

Annual Community Clean Up Day to be held May 6

By BRITTANY KEEPERMAN

bkeeperman@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – Residents are invited to come out for a day of volunteerism in the city of Woodstock.

The second annual Community Clean Up Day will be May 6. Families and groups are welcome.

The Woodstock Chamber of Commerce, the city of Woodstock, Centegra Health System, Promote Woodstock, The Environmental Defenders of McHenry County and the Woodstock Jaycees organized the event, which will take place from 8 a.m. to noon.

Volunteers will meet in the morning for registration and doughnuts at Matrix 4, 610 E. Judd St., and then spread out to various areas of the city to clean up the parks, sides of buildings and stretches of road. Last year, about 100 volunteers came to clean up, and this year, the number is pro-

jected to double, organizer Laura Wilcox said.

“The event is important because it brings the community and businesses together to maintain the beautification of Woodstock,” she said. “[The] Public Works [Department] does an excellent job all year-round, but it’s nice to have that additional support.”

Rosati’s Pizza Pub in Woodstock will provide lunch. Volunteers should dress in casual clothes appropriate for the weather and bring bottled water.

Individuals, families and groups from churches, businesses and other organizations such as scout groups are encouraged to attend. Sign-up is available online at signup.com/go/ zBZNh5, although advanced registration is not required.

Larger groups can call the Woodstock Chamber of Commerce at 815338-2436 or email keepwoodstockbeautiful@gmail.com.

WOODSTOCK – Revisions to McHenry County Board rules to incorporate the new but unused electronic voting system are headed to the full board for approval.

After about 30 minutes of minor debate and housekeeping Thursday, the board’s Ad Hoc Committee on Governmental Accessibility forwarded the rules for a board vote at its May 16 voting meeting.

Approval would mean the system will go live in June, six months after its installation at the behest of new County Board Chairman Jack Franks, D-Marengo, as a way to increase transparency and accountability.

Franks said the latest version incorporates improvements and addresses concerns that some members had.

He called Thursday’s discussion – which between the committee and guests accounted for just less than half of the 24-member board – produc-

tive and collaborative.

“I think the debate around the issue made it much stronger,” Franks said.

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 it 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 counting votes and taking minutes at full meetings of the board.

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.

Family organizes fundraiser to raise money for teen with heart condition

By HANNAH PROKOP

hprokop@shawmedia.com HUNTLEY – When Thomas Cristofaro was born, doctors didn’t know whether he would have problems with his development or whether he would be able to play sports.

Thomas has pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum, which meant no blood was getting to his lungs when he was born, said Thomas his mother, Gina SperCristofaro ling.

Six surgeries later, the 14-year-old from Huntley has exceeded all expectations, Sperling said.

“They call him ‘choo choo,’ ’cause you can’t get him down,” Sperling said.

Thomas plays baseball with Huntley’s Little League program, but his true passion is football, Sperling said. He has played with the Huntley Mustangs program for the past six years, and his goal

“We wanted to [hold the fundraiser] so he could focus on his recovery, not paying bills.”

Jackson Wiley

Thomas’ friend who is helping organize the fundraiser is to join Huntley High School’s football camp in June, she said. He’s currently a student at Marlowe Middle School in Lake in the Hills.

At first, Sperling said she was cautious about letting Thomas play sports, but he was determined to do what he loves despite his condition.

“He’s an inspiration to all of us,” Sperling said.

One of the people Thomas has inspired is his friend, 14-year-old Jackson Wiley, whose family is helping to organize a fundraiser for him. Jackson said that Thomas is charismatic and a

very nice friend.

“We wanted to [hold the fundraiser] so he could focus on his recovery, not paying bills,” Jackson said.

Thomas had his most recent surgery in March to repair his pulmonary artery valve. Although his condition will have to be monitored for the rest of his life, this should be his last surgery for another 10 to 15 years, Sperling said.

Just in the past eight months, Sperling said, her family has incurred about $20,000 in out-of-pocket medical costs.

The fundraiser for Thomas will be held Saturday at Parkside Pub, 11721 Main St., Huntley.

From 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., a portion of every dining bill will be donated to the Cristofaro family to help offset their medical bills.

McHENRY – McHenry County residents are invited to join the suicide-prevention movement by attending McHenry’s Out of the Darkness Campus Walk on Saturday.

The eighth annual walk will be from 9 to 11:30 a.m. Saturday at McHenry High School West, 4724 W. Crystal Lake Road.

The goal of the event is to raise awareness and funds that allow the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention to invest in new research, create educational programs, advocate for public policy and support family and friends who have lost someone to suicide.

“I think the stigma of suicides needs to be changed,” event organizer Patti Hartmann said. “I think that people have to realize that with social media, and people being so cruel on social media, [it] can have an effect on other people. And I just want to get the word out to have people start thinking about mental health and what they can do to help.”

Hartmann said this year’s walk is on track to be the largest, with

more than 300 registered walkers and $20,000 raised as of Thursday afternoon. Last year’s event raised about $14,000.

Hartmann said she does the fundraiser for healing purposes in memory of her son, who committed suicide nine years ago.

“There’s so much cruelty in the world; there’s so much bullying. People don’t know how to communicate to get resources,” Hartmann said.

Walkers will participate in a 4-mile course.

People can register independently or as part of a team. There is no minimum fundraising required, although raising $100 will earn walkers a free T-shirt.

Check-in begins at 8 a.m. and goes until the walk starts. Walk donations will be accepted until June 30.

Those interested can register by visiting www.mchenrywalk.org.

Online registration ends Friday at noon, but anyone who would like to participate still can register in person at the walk.

Help for anyone feeling depressed is available, 24 hours a day, by calling the McHenry County Crisis Line at 800-892-8900.

Joliet-area toddler’s body found under couch

By BRIAN STANLEY

bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET TOWNSHIP – The discovery of a 1-year-old girl’s body under a couch inside her residence after an intensive search for her in the Preston Heights neighborhood in Joliet has shocked and saddened investigators and the community.

“This has been a very emotional situation for family members, friends and first responders,” Will County Sheriff’s Deputy Chief Rick Ackerson said. “The entire community has been deeply concerned about the safety of Semaj.”

The girl was reported missing Tuesday afternoon from her home in the 300 block of Louis Road. Police, firefighters and volunteers searched throughout Wednesday but did not find the girl.

While Semaj’s mother, Sheri Gordon, was being questioned for a second time Wednesday morning, she decided to stop the interview and speak with an attorney, Ackerson said.

A woman who accompanied Gordon was outside banging on the door

Friends, neighbors and mourners pray together Thursday at the home of Semaj Crosby in the Preston Heights neighborhood of Joliet Township. Semaj, who was reported missing Tuesday, was found dead at her family’s home early Thursday. of the police trailer and telling Gordon not to answer questions, he said.

After negotiations with the attorney Wednesday evening, Gordon gave police consent to search her res-

idence. Gordon is being represented

by Chuck Bretz & Associates.

“We had sought a search warrant [throughout the day], but the Will County State’s Attorney’s Office

noted witnesses had reported seeing [Semaj] walking down the street,” Ackerson said.

Police entered the house at 11 p.m.

Wednesday and found the girl’s body inside after about an hour into the search, Ackerson said.

A source with knowledge of the investigation who is not authorized to speak on the matter confirmed the body was found under a couch that did not have legs and could not be crawled under.

The Will County Coroner’s Office confirmed the girl was pronounced dead at the scene at 1:27 a.m. Thursday. An autopsy was conducted Thursday morning but will “require further study” to determine the cause of death, according to the coroner’s office.

“There was garbage strewn in the house. The house was in deplorable condition,” Ackerson said.

A source said there were obvious signs of cockroach infestation.

The home was deemed uninhabitable Thursday by officials.

during the interview, which included specific questions about past incidents,” according to meeting minutes.

Sabet sued the city of North Chicago and its police chiefs in March after being fired from its police department.

In the lawsuit, he claims he was harassed for being Muslim, according to media reports.

Nash didn’t participate in Sabet’s interview because they previously had worked together in North Chicago, but she noted her “past positive work experience” with Sabet, according to meeting minutes.

Nash said her interaction with the community thus far has been nothing but positive, despite an online petition that is circulating in Oakwood Hills to encourage the Village Board to eliminate its police department and to come under contract with the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office instead.

“We believe that part-time staff police officers, who do not provide around the clock service on a daily basis, are ineffective and unnecessarily costly. We believe our community deserves a full-time community policing which can be provided by the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office

McHenry County Board Chairman Jack Franks, a proponent of governments sharing services, said no one has approached him about having the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office police Oakwood Hills.

Since Nash began her position as chief, at least one officer has resigned. Sgt. John J. Hohol, who had been with the village for close to 12 years, submitted his letter of resignation April 11, citing a hostile work environment and concerns about another officer who also works in the department.

Nash would not comment on Hohol’s resignation, and she said she believes the officers working for the department are happy with the working environment.

“You could talk to every one of my employees and ask them if they are happy and what the morale is here, and they can tell you,” she said. “It’s unfortunate that some people feel otherwise, and you’re not going to Sarah Nader – snader@shawmedia.com make everybody happy.

Continued from page A10 and Semaj, five to 15 people were regularly living in the house as “squatters,” Ackerson said.

“We aren’t sure if they’re all friends or relatives. But there were different people there off and on,” Ackerson said.

“There are a lot of people from Chicago in that house,” said one neighbor, who wanted to remain anonymous.

“They’re [regularly] louder than the average neighbor around here.

Lot of people out in the yard throughout the day.”

No arrests have been made, but the investigaSemaj tion is “ongoing and acCrosby tive,” Ackerson said.

The Department of Children and Family Services opened two investigations of Gordon for allegations of neglect last month. DCFS spokeswoman Veronica Resa said in an email that DCFS personnel had been at the home about 3:20 p.m. Tuesday “and had seen all three of the mother’s children, including Semaj. There were no obvious hazards or safety concerns at that time.”

Resa said DCFS has been offering services to the family since September.

Deputies responded to a 911 hang-up from the residence on Easter Sunday.

There was no reported disturbance, but deputies provided some candy and toys for the children at the house, Ackerson said.

On Thursday, Semaj’s father, James Crosby, appeared in court before being released from the Will County jail, where he has been locked up for two months on theft and domestic battery charges. Defense attorney Cosmo Tedone said James Crosby has been “in a state of shock” since learning of his daughter’s disappearance and death.

According to a source, one of Semaj’s brothers has been hospitalized.

Gordon’s attorneys released a statement Thursday evening.

“During the search, Ms. Gordon and law enforcement engaged in a high level of communication and cooperation,” the statement said. “Ms. Gordon, [through] her attorneys, continues to contact and communicate with the Will County Sheriff’s investigation team and other agencies. Ms. Gordon is extremely distraught over the death of her only daughter. ... She prays for her daughter and appreciates the community’s support in this matter. We look forward to when we can put this tragic incident behind us and allow the healing to begin.”

Louis Road remained blocked by crime scene tape until Thursday evening. A memorial to the 17-month-old girl was set up in the area Thursday.

Markesha Walter came Thursday morning from Chicago to place a stuffed giraffe near the street as “a show of respect.”

“I’ve got a baby of my own about the same age. It’s very sad. [Her death] just seems so senseless,” Walter said. “To have everybody out here searching when [someone] knew she was in the house. That’s crazy.”

The ASSOCIATED PRESS ATLANTA – Thomas Francis Forkner Sr., who jumped from selling real estate to the restaurant business when he co-founded Waffle House in the 1950s, has died less than two months after the death of his business partner who recruited him to help launch the famous Southern diner chain.

Waffle House said in a statement that Forkner died Wednesday at age 98. He grew up in DeKalb County just outside Atlanta, the company said, and returned there to sell real estate after serving as an Army intelligence officer during World War II. Forkner sold a house to his neighbor, Joe Rogers Sr., who worked for the Toddle House restaurant chain. Rogers persuaded Forkner to join him in starting a restaurant of their own. They opened the first 24-hour Waffle House in the Atlanta suburb of Avondale Estates on Labor Day in 1955.

They opened a second location two years later, and they kept building the business over the next two decades.

Under Forkner and Rogers, the Waffle House chain grew to 400 restaurants by the time they sold the business in the late 1970s.

Rogers died March 3, just seven weeks before Forkner. The company said Forkner’s wife of 71 years, Martha Forkner, died March 4.

The Atlanta-based company now has more than 1,500 locations.

Forkner was known to drop by the company headquarters regularly, up until a few weeks before his death. He would often drive there to have lunch with new manager trainees, said Waffle House Chairman Joe Rogers Jr., whose father started the company with Forkner.

“Tom and my father had a handshake deal, and their partnership and friendship continued for more than 60 years,” Joe Rogers said in a statement. “Tom and Joe were great partners – Tom working the real estate side of the business and my father operating the restaurants.”

Forkner also was an accomplished golfer, the company said, and won enough senior championships to warrant his induction into the Georgia Golf Hall of Fame in 2007.

Emile R. Gelinas, 91, passed away on March 23, 2017 in Walla Walla, WA after a battle with dementia.

He was born in Manchester, N.H., to Eulalie Lemieux and Emile Gelinas on January 19, 1926. The family included his elder sister Irene.

Emile grew up in Woonsocket, Rhode Island where he was part of a large French Canadian community and attended Catholic school taught in French, his first language.

It was during his early years in Woonsocket that Emile began to foster his lifelong love of sports. He spent much of his free time at the YMCA swimming and playing basketball.

After high school in 1945, he was drafted and inducted into the Army, serving 18 months in post-WWII Germany. His enlistment was delayed by a broken arm acquired while skiing in Vermont. Although he never experienced combat firsthand, he witnessed the sad aftermath and he always had great admiration for the sacrifices of the many who fought.

Back in the U.S. he returned to Rhode Island and attended Brown University for two years. In 1949, looking for work, he and several friends decided to move west to Chicago, where he eventually attended the Chicago College of Laboratory Technique school. It was there that he met Rosemary (Rosie) Friedrich, who would become the love of his life and wife. They married in May 1952 in Chillicothe, Illinois.

They lived in Peoria where both worked for a hospital lab, then moved to Chillicothe, working together in a medical laboratory he established in the offices of doctors Green, Johnson, and White. During this time, Emile and Rosemary adopted two children, Lauren and David. Dr. Green was instrumental in shaping Emile’s life by encouraging him to further his education. He took the good doctor’s advice, completing college by attending night classes at Bradley University in Peoria, while manning the lab during the day. He was accepted into and attended the Loyola University College of Dental Surgery in Chicago. He attended school during the day while working a wide variety of night jobs to support his family and pay for the tuition. He was graduated in 1963, with high honors and a member of the Blue Key Honor Society, as a Doctor of Dental Surgery and was offered a teaching position at Loyola. Intent on opening his own dental practice in a rural small town, Emile moved his family to Harvard, IL where he and Rosemary made their home for 26 years.

He was involved in Lion’s Club and served on the Harvard School District Board of Education for 9 years, 6 years as president.

STATE

Mayors unite against property tax freeze

By KIANNAH SEPEDA–MILLER The Associated Press

SPRINGFIELD – City Hall is stepping into the statewide debate over freezing property taxes.

Mayors and city leaders from across suburban Chicago are opposing a permanent freeze on local property taxes, a cornerstone of Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner’s agenda.

In an opinion piece provided to The Associated Press in advance of its public release, officials representing more than 150 cities and villages said a freeze would handicap local government and do nothing to address the state’s budget problems.

They also contend the first-term governor’s plan fails to address the impetus of high property taxes: the state’s meager contributions to public elementary and secondary school funding. Experts said Illinois relies more heavily on local property taxes to finance schools than any other state, and that property taxes here rank among the highest in the country.

The Republican’s insistence on the freeze before agreeing to an annual budget plan is among the demands on the Democrat-controlled Legislature that has led to Illinois not having a state budget in more than two years – the longest

Illinois comptroller using tax season revenue to pay bills

SPRINGFIELD – Illinois’ comptroller said increased revenues coming into the state during tax season have allowed her to release more than $800 million in payments for health care services.

Comptroller Susan Mendoza on Wednesday said the money will go to nearly a dozen managed-care operations in Illinois serving Medicaid patients.

The (Springfield) State Journal-Register reports that Mendoza’s office said those organizations can use the money to pay doctors, hospitals and mental health counselors.

In addition to the more than $800 million, the office said it also planned to issue more than $150 million in payments directly to hospitals Thursday.

“When the people have less, the government has to spend less.

If we don’t spend less, our exodus is going to continue.”

budget stalemate in the nation since before World War II. The mayors and other opponents said halting the ability of local governments and other taxing districts to levy taxes at higher rates would also result in the reduction of essential services, such as police and fire protection or road maintenance, and financial instability.

“It’s a great soundbite, but it’s going to do nothing to help the state budget,” said Roselle Mayor Gayle Smolinski, who has led the city for 24 years and is a former president of the DuPage Mayors and Mangers Conference.

The mayors’ public stance comes the

same week that more than 400 school superintendents signed a petition asking Rauner and the Legislature to stop the gamesmanship and settle on a budget.

Property taxes are collected and distributed locally, with the majority going to school districts.

A much smaller portion, about 10 percent, is collected by cities or villages to fund public services and pay down pension costs.

“If the state of Illinois funded schools, then property taxes would in fact go down,” said Gerald Bennett, mayor of Palos Hills.

Bennett, who also is president of the Southwest Council of Local Governments, pointed to decades past when the state picked up a larger portion of school districts’ tabs, which lightened the load on local taxpayers.

In 1997, then-Gov. Jim Edgar, a Republican, proposed a plan to reduce property taxes by increasing the state income tax and diverting the new funds to schools. It died in the Republican-controlled Senate.

The current Democratic-controlled Senate has attempted a compromise.

In a budget plan dubbed the “grand bargain,” Democrats and Republicans tried last winter to break the budget deadlock by proposing a two-year, tem-

Man gets 120 years for abduction, rape of 3-year-old

WAUKEGAN – A 120-year prison sentenced has been handed to a Chicago man convicted of kidnapping and recording himself sexually assaulting a 3-year-old Mundelein girl in 2013.

Lake County Circuit Judge Mark Levitt sentenced Jose Reyes to four consecutive 30-year prison terms for aggravated kidnapping, predatory criminal sexual assault, and production of child pornography. Levitt convicted Reyes in November after a bench trial.

Before sentencing, the 32-year-old Reyes asked for mercy, saying he “found God.” However, Levitt told Reyes the depths of his depravity “are unmatchable.”

Authorities said Reyes grabbed the girl near the apartment complex where she lived. Video played at the trial shows Reyes molesting the girl in his car before dropping her off about 30 minutes later in a nearby parking lot.

Police arrested Reyes four days later after identifying his car through surveillance video.

Illinois schools work to repair elevated lead levels

DECATUR – A school district in central Illinois is taking steps to remediate areas with elevated lead levels after receiving results of state-mandated testing in six district buildings.

Decatur Public Schools spokeswoman Maria Robertson told the Herald & Review that the water sources found to have any trace of lead were shut off until repairs could be made. The Environmental Protection Agency’s federal standards require action to be taken if lead levels exceed 15 parts a billion. An Illinois law signed in January required schools to test and mandates that school districts notify parents and staff of results above 5 parts a billion.

Katie Miller, whose two daughters attend one of the schools being repaired, said she isn’t too concerned about the situation and that the district handled it well.

“They did the testing to make sure it’s corrected, and I’m comfortable with the fact that they’re keeping up with the testing,” she said. “I’m happy they did the testing and they were forthcoming

porary property tax freeze. Rauner rejected it, and Democrats pulled the plug on the grand bargain in March.

Illinois contributes only 24 percent of operating costs for kindergarten through 12th grade, said Ralph Martire, director of the nonprofit Center for Tax and Budget Accountability.

“School districts have had no option but to go after their local property tax base,” Martire said.

However, McHenry County Board Chairman Jack Franks, a Democrat and former state lawmaker, said Illinois’ high property tax burden – ranked fifth or sixth in the nation, according to Martire – prevents communities from attracting residents and business. Franks said allowing local governments to raise property taxes without putting the question to voters ignores “economic realities,” such as falling home values and population decline.

“When the people have less, the government has to spend less,” said Franks, who spearheaded a proposal for a permanent freeze while serving in the Illinois House. “If we don’t spend less, our exodus is going to continue.”

The Illinois House passed a proposal to permanently freeze property taxes in January on the final day of the last legislative session. A current version of that bill is in committee this session.

Wheeling pair sentenced in health care scam

CHICAGO – A chiropractor, as well as his father and his brother have been sentenced to prison in a phony-billing scheme that cheated insurers out of nearly $11 million.

A statement Wednesday from the U.S. attorney’s office in Chicago said their Wheeling company, Gordin Medical Center S.C., falsely billed carriers for services that were either not provided or that were unnecessary. They also falsified medical records in bids to conceal the scam.

The government’s sentencing memo described the clinic as a “front for false billing.” And it said “patient care was an afterthought.”

All three pleaded guilty to fraud. A judge this week sentenced 46-year-old Vladimir Gordin Jr. to seven years behind bars and 70-year-old Vladimir Gordin Sr. to two and a half years. The 34-year-old Alexsander Gordin received two years.

Tax plan includes relief for some, many unknowns

By STEPHEN OHLEMACHER The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump’s plan to overhaul the nation’s tax code could provide significant tax cuts for the working-class voters who elected him, but the unknowns could end up hurting many of these core supporters of the president. Here’s a look at how Trump’s tax plan could affect families at different income levels:

THE WORKING CLASS

These are the people who have been left behind by an increasingly globalized economy.

Trump’s proposal, a one-page outline short on detail, said he would double the standard tax deduction, which could provide significant relief to working-class families. But Trump’s top economic adviser used some bad math to describe the proposal, raising questions.

Gary Cohn said the standard deduction for a married couple would be doubled to $24,000. But that’s not double. The standard deduction for a married couple is $12,700, so double would be $25,400. Cohn said the deduction would create “a zero taxrate for the first $24,000.”

That sounds great, but very few families making $24,000 a year pay federal income tax, said Roberton Williams, a fellow at the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center. In fact, 44 percent of all U.S. households pay no federal income tax, although most pay other taxes.

Trump’s one-page sketch is silent on whether the tax code would still include the personal tax exemption, which allows most families to exempt $4,050 in income for each spouse and dependent child. In big families, this tax exemption can add up. During the campaign, Trump released a tax proposal that would eliminate the personal exemption.

Also during the campaign, Trump proposed getting rid of the “head of household” filing status, which is mainly used by single parents. This filing

Trump’s new plan is silent on this issue as well.

THE MIDDLE CLASS

The median household income in the U.S. is about $55,000, although people living in high-cost areas can make much more than that and still feel like they are in the middle class. Doubling the standard deduction – or at least raising it to $24,000 – could provide significant tax relief to middle-income families. But whether they pay more or less depends largely on details that have yet to be released.

One of those pesky details is how Trump will structure the tax rates on individual income.

Trump has proposed reducing the number of tax rates from seven to three – 10 percent, 25 percent and 35 percent. But the administration has yet to determine the income levels for people who would be put in each bracket.

to prevent high-income people from paying no income tax. It has evolved over the years and now impacts about 5 million households, most of them making between $200,000 and $1 million a year.

In 2005, Trump himself paid $36.5 million in taxes, mostly because of the AMT. Without it, he would have paid only $5.5 million, according to a leaked copy of that year’s return.

On the flip side, Trump wants to eliminate the deduction for state and local taxes, a big tax break that benefits millions, especially people living in Democratic-controlled states with high local taxes such as New York, New Jersey and California. Last year, more than 43 million families claimed the deduction, saving them nearly $70 billion.

THE SUPERRICH

These are the 1 percenters, people like Trump who make millions a year and are worth even more. Trump is proposing big tax cuts for the superrich, including repealing the estate tax. The federal estate tax is HIGH-INCOME FAMILIES Trump’s plan has the poten- widely misunderstood. The fact tial to provide big tax cuts to is it affects very few estates.

If your parents’ estate is high-income families – unless you live in a state with high worth less than $10.9 million, you don’t have to worry about state and local taxes.

Trump calls for eliminat- this tax. This year, about 5,200 ing the Alternative Minimum estates will pay the tax, accordTax, which was enacted in 1969 ing to the Tax Policy Center.

Pentagon joins probe of former aide Flynn

By CHAD DAY and STEPHEN BRAUN The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – Investigations intensified into President Donald Trump’s ousted national security adviser, Michael Flynn, on Thursday as the Pentagon watchdog joined lawmakers in probing payments he accepted from foreign sources including a Russian state-sponsored TV network.

At the same time, documents released by the top Democrat on a House oversight committee showed Flynn was warned by authorities after he retired from the military in 2014 not to take foreign government-sourced money without “advance approval” from the Pentagon.

Flynn, a former Army lieutenant general and Defense Intelligence Agency chief, later accepted tens of thousands of dollars for his work on behalf of foreign interests, including RT, the state-supported Russian television network, and a Turkish-owned company linked to Turkey’s government.

The Pentagon’s acting inspector general’s office confirmed Thursday he has launched an inquiry into whether those payments qualify as coming from foreign governments and whether Flynn properly informed military authorities about them.

The White House defended its hiring of Flynn and attempted to shift blame for any problems with his vetting onto the Obama administration, which handled the reissuance of his security clearance in January 2016.

Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md., who released the documents, said during a news conference that Flynn had been clearly informed he needed to get permission to receive foreign payments and there’s no evidence he did so.

“The Pentagon’s warning to General Flynn was bold, italicized and could not have been clearer,” Cummings said.

In a key 2014 document, Flynn was told by a DIA official that the U.S. Con-

Then-National Security Adviser Michael Flynn sits Feb. 10 in the East Room of the White House in Washington, D.C. Documents released by lawmakers show Flynn, now the former national security adviser, was warned when he retired from the military in 2014 not to take foreign money without “advance approval” by Pentagon authorities. stitution’s emoluments provision prohibits any monetary payments or gifts “from a foreign government unless congressional consent is first obtained.”

The Oct. 8, 2014, letter – which was sent to Flynn at his request – explained that such “advance approval” would need to come “from the relevant service secretary.”

Earlier this week, Cummings and Republican Rep. Jason Chaffetz, chairman of the House committee, said that they had found no evidence Flynn asked the Army for permission to receive foreign payments or informed the military he had accepted them. Army spokeswoman Cynthia O. Smith said the Army had no records that Flynn requested that permission.

One episode in question involves a trip he took to Moscow in 2015 for RT’s anniversary celebration. He was paid at least $33,750 to attend the gala at which he was seated next to Russian

President Vladimir Putin.

“General Flynn’s attorney says he discussed his trip to Moscow with DIA, but we have no evidence, not a shred, that he disclosed his payments,” Cummings said Thursday.

In a statement, Flynn’s attorney Robert Kelner said the Defense Department “was fully aware of the trip,” citing his previous statements that his client briefed DIA officials before and after the RT trip.

Kelner also pointed to a letter, released in redacted form by Cummings, that notes that Flynn provided a thumb drive to the agency containing documents detailing the RT event, including that Leading Authorities, a speakers bureau that handled Flynn’s paid speeches, was handling the event for him.

Kelner’s statement did not address other payments Flynn received from foreign sources. Flynn has previously

disclosed he got between $50,000 and $100,000 as part of his personal stake in $530,000 that his company, Flynn Intel Group, received for consulting work last year for a Turkish businessman.

Last month Flynn’s firm filed as a foreign agent with the Justice Department for its consulting work and acknowledged the work may have benefited the government of Turkey.

Flynn’s client, Inovo BV, is owned by a businessman who is also a member of a committee overseen by Turkey’s finance ministry.

In comments to the AP, Utah Republican Chaffetz, chairman of the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, said that Flynn “had an obligation to seek approval to take money from a foreign government. We found no evidence that he did that.”

Chaffetz’s office released a letter he sent on Thursday to the Army, asking the service’s acting secretary to make a final determination as to whether Flynn violated federal law by accepting the payments, and if so, to start the process of recovering that money.

Chaffetz also asked the Army to say why it hasn’t yet made a determination as to the legality of Flynn’s payments from RT, given that they have been widely reported for at least two years.

He also wants the Army to disclose any other investigations it’s launched since 2010 into similar legal violations.

The committee’s inquiry is one of several congressional investigations into Flynn’s contacts with foreign officials. Trump fired Flynn in February for failing to inform senior administration officials about his contacts with Russian officials – contacts that are being examined as part of the wider inquiries into Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential campaign.

On Thursday, 18 House Democrats on the oversight committee signed a letter calling on Chaffetz to do more to pressure the White House to release documents regarding Flynn.

Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer of N.Y. speaks to reporters during a news conference Thursday on Capitol Hill. islation.

McCarthy told reporters late Thursday that the health care vote would not occur Friday or Saturday.

“As soon as we have the votes, we’ll vote on it,” he said after leaving a House GOP leadership meeting that lasted nearly two hours.

Across the Capitol, Senate Democrats late Thursday blocked a quick vote on a short-term spending bill.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell pressed for an agreement on the short-term legislation that will carry through next week. That would give

lawmakers more time to complete negotiations on the $1 trillion measure.

Democratic leader Chuck Schumer insisted that any vote only occur when Republicans abandon efforts to add provisions on abortion, financial regulations and the environment to the legislation.

“Our position has been clear and it’s nothing news. No poison-pill riders,” Schumer said.

The House is scheduled to vote on the one-week extension Friday morning and the Senate could still vote ahead of the deadline.

Israeli strikes in Syria picking up tempo in proxy war

By PHILIP ISSA and ZEINA KARAM The Associated Press

BEIRUT – Syria’s military said Israel struck a military installation southwest of Damascus International Airport before dawn Thursday, setting off a series of explosions and raising tensions further between the two neighbors.

Apparently seeking to interrupt weapons transfers to the Hezbollah group in Lebanon, Israel has struck Syria with increasing frequency in recent weeks, making the war-torn country a proxy theater for Israel’s wider war with Iran.

The increasing tempo of attacks risks inflaming a highly combustible situation drawing in Israel, Syria and the Iranian-backed Hezbollah, a staunch ally of President Bashar Assad’s government with thousands of fighters in Syria. Israel’s military said later Thursday that its Patriot Missile Defense system intercepted an incoming projectile from Syria over the Golan Heights.

An Israeli defense official said the Patriot hit a drone, and the military is checking if it was a Russian aircraft that entered the Israeli side by mistake or if it was Syrian. He spoke on condition of anonymity in line with protocol.

Both the Syrian government and Hezbollah, however, are mired in the country’s 6-year-old civil war and are unlikely to carry out any retaliation that may ignite a bigger conflagration with Israel.

“Iran and Hezbollah are overstretched, and it’s not clear they can afford to gamble with a direct showdown with Israel now,” said Maha Yahya, director of the Carnegie Middle East Center. “Iran knows no matter how powerful they’ve become, they can’t be fighting on two fronts at the same time.”

Israeli Minister of Intelligence Yisrael Katz would not comment directly on the incident but said any similar strike would be in line with established policy to interrupt weapons transfers.

“It absolutely matches our declared policy, a policy that we also implement,”

Katz told Israel’s Army Radio.

Just before the apparent Israeli missile strike, at least three cargo jets from Iran probably landed at the Damascus airport, said Ian Petchenik, a spokesman for the flight-tracking website FlightRadar24. They include an Il-76 flown by the Iranian cargo company Pouya Air that “was last tracked over Iraq headed towards Damascus,” he said.

It’s unknown what they were carrying. Passenger flights and civilian cargo jets continue flying into Damascus, although there’s suspicion that some commercial flights serve as cover for weapons transfers from Iran.

The Washington-based Foundation for Defense of Democracies, a right-leaning think tank that has criticized the nuclear deal Iran struck with world powers, has said Pouya Air is the latest name for a long-sanctioned airline. It also has accused Pouya Air of funneling arms from Iran into Yemen’s capital of Sanaa to supply Shiite rebels there.

Emanuele Ottolenghi, a senior fel-

low at the foundation, said he tracked a fourth cargo flight from Iran to Syria on Wednesday night, an Airbus A300 operated by Mahan Air, which is suspected of ties to Iran’s paramilitary Revolutionary Guard. He also called one of the cargo flights, a Qeshm Fars Air Boeing 747, especially suspicious because the airline stopped operating in 2013, only to resume flights to Damascus three weeks ago.

“We don’t know for sure, but let’s say that we can fairly safely assume that the weaponry and fighters reach Damascus through these daily flights,” Ottolenghi said.

The explosions near Damascus reverberated across the capital, the seat of Assad’s power. Syria’s state-run SANA news agency said Israel had fired several missiles from inside the occupied Golan Heights, 37 miles south of Damascus, striking a military installation southwest of the airport that serves both military and civilian flights. It reported damage but no casualties.

WASHINGTON – Republicans said they would push a short-term spending bill – essential to keeping the government open – through the House Friday with only GOP votes, if necessary.

The brinkmanship came less than 30 hours before a midnight Friday deadline for a shutdown.

At the same time, a House GOP leader said late Thursday that there would be no vote on major GOP health care legislation until at least next week.

That meant that on both the budget and health care fronts, there would be no milestone victories for Trump before Saturday, his 100th day as president.

“We’re working on the funding of government. We’re getting that through” on Friday, House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., said of the temporary spending measure.

Asked by reporters whether Republicans would have to pass the short-term bill without Democratic votes, McCarthy said, “Yeah.”

Democrats have threatened to oppose the temporary spending bill if there wasn’t a bipartisan deal on a $1 trillion measure financing the government through September. Final agreement on some loose ends in that massive measure has remained elusive.

Republicans had been hoping for Democratic support because a significant number of conservative GOP lawmakers often vote against spending leg-

Besides not finishing the $1 trillion measure, the House GOP abandoned hopes of giving Trump a victory on health care before his 100th day. A revised health care bill has won the support of the hard-right House Freedom Caucus, holdouts on an earlier version that collapsed last month, but GOP leaders were struggling to round up votes from moderate-leaning Republicans.

Trump himself unleashed a tweetstorm of criticism of Democrats involved in negotiations on the spending bill.

“Democrats jeopardizing the safety of our troops to bail out their donors from insurance companies. It is time to put #AmericaFirst,” he tweeted.

Democrats dismissed such accusations.

“We are never going to shut government down. In fact, we don’t even have the power to do so,” said House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif. Referring to Republicans, she said: “They have the majority. They have the president. They have the Senate. They have the House. Any shutting down of government, the ball is in their court.”

Nonetheless, leaders in both parties projected certainty that a deal would ultimately be reached on the spending legislation, which covers all government agencies and is leftover business from last year.

“Talks on government funding legislation have continued throughout the week on a bipartisan, bicameral basis,” said McConnell, R-Ky.

Path to progress in Afghanistan

One of the most curious aspects of President Donald Trump’s foreign policy has been his absence of a clearly articulated view – much less a strategy – on Afghanistan, where 8,400 U.S. troops still are helping fight a war. Before and during his campaign, Trump hardly spoke about what has become the U.S.’s longest conflict, except to denounce Pakistan for its role in supporting the Taliban and to deride U.S. attempts at nation-building in one of the world’s least developed countries.

This month, the president authorized the dropping of the world’s biggest non-nuclear bomb in a remote part of eastern Afghanistan although he had yet to decide whether and how the U.S. would remain engaged in the country. Now the administration appears to be moving toward filling this glaring gap.

Defense Secretary Jim Mattis visited Kabul this week, after a trip by national security adviser H.R. McMaster; a policy review is said to be near completion.

A recommendation is pending from the U.S. commander in the theater, Gen. John Nicholson, to send 3,000 or more additional U.S. troops to the country in an attempt to break the momentum of the Taliban, which has been slowly taking ground from the Afghan government and inflicting unsustainable casualties on its security forces.

Trump should approve the increase along with other military measures that could turn the tide. But he also should drop his resistance to U.S. programs to bolster the Afghan economy and political system and to fight corruption. Without them, the war will never be won.

The military problems plaguing the government of President Ashraf Ghani were tragically exemplified last week when a Taliban attack on an army base

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

killed more than 160 soldiers – many of them raw recruits. The skillful operation by militants disguised as soldiers was attributed by some U.S. officials to the Haqqani network, which continues to find safe harbor in Pakistan. Meanwhile, administration officials said Russia and Iran have begun supplying weapons to other Taliban factions in a clear attempt to undermine the U.S. and NATO forces backing the Ghani government.

At least 6,700 of the more than 300,000 Afghan security forces were reportedly killed last year as the Taliban gained territory across the country.

That was partly because many Afghan units remain poorly trained, but also because they lack adequate air support in battle, because of tight restrictions on U.S. operations imposed by President Barack Obama. Trump should address both problems by dispatching additional U.S. trainers and Special Operations forces and by allowing American planes and drones to operate with the same freedom against the enemy that they have in Iraq and Syria.

At the same time, Trump should back a parallel effort to bolster Ghani’s government, which has been hamstrung by political infighting and continued corruption. Reading inspectors general’s reports about how billions in U.S. and other international development aid have been squandered, it is easy to jump to the conclusion that the West should abandon Afghan nation-building. Yet progress has been made – the country’s gross domestic product has doubled, and education levels, including for women, have risen sharply. Sustaining that development, even if it is slow and painful, is as important as turning back the Taliban.

ANOTHER VIEW

Change the voting age to 17 The nearly 500 pieces of legislation that have been introduced around the country this year aimed at increasing voter participation include proposals to lower the voting age from 18 to 17.

Pennsylvania should adopt that change, and the U.S. Constitution should be amended to permit the lower voting age nationwide.

Young people 17 years old probably are more attuned to what’s happening in all levels of government than they’ve ever been. Thus, they should have the right to express their opinion about who should be elected, for municipal offices up to the office of the President.

When the U.S. Constitution’s 26th Amendment was under consideration in 1970 – to lower the voting age to 18 from 21 – some people argued that 18-year-olds weren’t mature and responsible enough to be allowed to vote.

Those arguments proved to be unfounded, just as similar arguments would be regarding extending voting to 17-year-olds.

Actually, 17-year-olds

already can vote in primary elections and caucuses in a number of states. The organization FairVote, formerly the Center for Voting and Democracy, which advocates electoral reform in this country, reminds Pennsylvania that the closest states that have taken that step are Maryland, Ohio, Delaware and West Virginia.

Even 17-year-olds in the District of Columbia are permitted to vote in primaries. The important question: Why not in Pennsylvania?

In June 2015, then-Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton proposed that Americans automatically be registered to vote when they turn 18, unless they chose to opt out, which many might not do, even though they have no intention of voting.

That proposal was welcomed by many of Clinton’s campaign audiences, but a closer look at automatic registration indicates some counterproductive consequences.

The most important is

that voter registration rolls shouldn’t be burdened by those who choose not to exercise the important civic right and responsibility. At the same time, it’s appropriate to remind all registered voters that, at the time they registered, they accepted an obligation to go to the polls – not only for general elections, but for primary balloting as well.

But Clinton’s proposal isn’t the answer to guaranteeing high turnouts.

Pennsylvania already makes it easy to register, even without an automatic system of registration.

Many high school seniors still are 17 when they graduate, and it’s at that time when those newly graduated individuals have to make important decisions about their lives, going forward.

With so many electronic communication devices available, young people have access to news and issues that their parents lacked.

Lower the voting age to 17, in Pennsylvania and nationally.

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.

on this view consistently.

This argument for a corporate tax cut – “let’s borrow more now while rates are relatively low” – is remarkably like the argument that Keynesians have been using for more government infrastructure spending for years. The main difference is that here the spending would be done by private corporations rather than the federal government. You may or may not believe the private expenditures will be more socially valuable than the government expenditures, but if you think we can afford one kind of stimulus we probably can afford the other. And as I said, the private rate of return on investment probably is higher than the government’s borrowing rate, even if you think that government spending would yield higher returns yet.

To put it bluntly, I am suspicious of ideological motives when anyone says we can afford a big dose of government stimulus but we cannot afford a corresponding private stimulus. The more consistent view is that we probably need more investment on both fronts, and thus cuts in the corporate tax rate are a welcome start, at least if we put aside the pessimistic scenario mentioned above. It’s still legitimate to consider whether a plan should

include more government stimulus (Trump himself would probably agree, although Congress may not), but that’s a very different point from claiming the U.S. cannot afford a corporate tax cut. In addition, you also might think that some other taxes should go up, such as consumption taxes, but even if true it does not mean the corporate rate cut is unaffordable.

So what then are the problems with the Trump proposal? First, we do not know whether it can pass various congressional rules, and there is a disturbing and repeated tendency for the Trump administration to lurch ahead with plans that are not properly vetted.

Second, there is a danger that too much personal income will be reconverted into business forms, to reap the new, lower tax rates. It is essential to have greater and more detailed assurances that the tax reform will embody sufficient regulations to limit these kinds of arbitrage.

Those problems may or may not be surmountable, but in the meantime we should view the proposal as a possible economic boost, not a burden we cannot afford.

IT’S YOUR WRITE Stand up for environment

To the Editor: The president and Congress have allowed pollution from coal to be put back into streams and eventually the people’s water sources. Besides being obviously dangerous, the results of this will not be transparent, as federal employees are not allowed to release their findings, especially about pollution levels. So if the president’s attack on laws that have decreased pollution over the years increase pollution, even to dangerous levels, we will not have access to that information.

This permittance of coal pollution is another pat on the back for big business and an increased danger for ordinary citizens.

Rep. Hultgren, who said he’s for science, backs the president’s dismantling of the Environmental Protection Agency, the agency that’s used science to decrease pollution in our air and water. While Hultgren said he supports the nonfossil fuel industry, he backs legislation that only bolsters the president’s political contributors. The real issue is that in the past eight years the U.S. tripled its amount of wind power and increased solar energy by 30 percent. Yet like the president, Hult-

gren paints all solar energy with a broad brush because of the failure of one solar company, Solyndr.

The solar industry employment rate is growing 12 times faster than the regular economy. We were making progress in our air and water quality, and becoming less dependent on fossil fuels. We’re now going backward – just so the president can reward his buddies. I have yet to see Hultgren stand up against this. Happy Earth Day. Rebecca Condon

The Trump administration announced Wednesday its intent to proceed with a radical cut to the corporate income tax, lowering it to 15 percent.

We haven’t been presented with enough details to conclude whether such a plan can work, but I’ve been seeing some of my fellow economists claim – incorrectly – that we can’t afford those changes. There are some potential problems with President Donald Trump’s proposal, but there is no fiscal reason such a tax plan ought be ruled out.

It seems the administration is willing to consider a tax cut that increases the budget deficit, rather than finding alternative revenue elsewhere.

And indeed the new plan is likely to increase budget deficits by hundreds of billions of dollars. But still, less money for the government is not the same as an economic cost. Most versions of the plan, if executed properly on the details, would most likely boost economic output and create new jobs.

The simplest way to think of an unfunded corporate tax cut is that the federal government has to borrow more money, say at rates in the range of 1 percent to 2 percent, while corporations

have more money to invest. Estimates vary for the rate of return on private capital, but 5 percent to 10 percent is one plausible estimate. So in essence, society is borrowing money at 1 percent to 2 percent and may be receiving 5 percent to 10 percent in return. That is a net gain, not an economic cost.

In terms of distribution, the deal is more favorable than it might appear at first. The increase in borrowing will eventually be paid for, and the top 20 percent of Americans pay about 84 percent of all income taxes. The future payback therefore is likely to come from the well-off, not the poor. The new corporate investments also will create jobs and some valuable products as well, and that benefits more people than just the wealthy.

The pessimist might wonder whether companies would take their windfall and invest it at all. Many companies might simply hold the gain in money management accounts. In this scenario, the tax plan probably won’t be worth passing, as American companies would have nothing useful to do with the free resources, even when given a nudge to invest. That should induce a fairly panicky response, including radical deregulation of business and fiscal austerity on entitlements, but I don’t see critics of the tax plan following up

Trump tax plan could benefit small businesses

By JOYCE M. ROSENBERG The Associated Press

NEW YORK – Giving workers a raise, investing in new machinery.

Small-business owners have long wish lists to choose from if the Trump administration’s plan to lower tax rates becomes law – but most don’t expect to go on a hiring binge.

Some owners and small-business groups hoped the dramatic cuts in corporate and personal taxes proposed Wednesday could mean more savings to invest in their businesses and more revenue coming in from consumers and businesses with some extra money to spend.

Brian Hart, the sole owner of a public relations company in Philadelphia, said he would reinvest any tax savings into Flackable but doesn’t expect to have enough to hire employees. But lower tax rates could give his small-business clients more money to spend on marketing, and that could mean expanding his staff down the road.

“It could ease the tax burden on the companies we work with so they could hire a company like ours,” Hart said.

Under President Donald Trump’s proposal, small-businesses owners who pay their business taxes at personal tax rates would see their top rate go from 39.6 percent to the proposed corporate tax rate of 15 percent. Those owners are sole proprietors, partners or shareholders in what are called S corporations, or pass-through entities, which under the tax laws are intended to be small- or mid-sized companies.

Rick McVey, owner of Dilly Lily, poses for a photo at his shop Wednesday in Chicago. If the Trump administration’s plan to lower tax rates becomes law, it likely will benefit McVey. The florist has a range of possibilities, not just from the prospect of lower taxes but that he’d get more business from customers who have more money to spend.

Nearly 80 percent of businesses are pass-through entities, a survey by the National Small Business Association advocacy group found this year. The remaining companies also stand to get a break on their rates, which would fall to 15 percent from 35 percent.

There still are many unknowns about the Trump proposal – in particular, what changes Congress might make to offset the drop in tax revenue that lower rates likely would bring.

And owners aren’t guaranteed a windfall. For one thing, many aren’t

earning enough to get a tax break of $30,000 to $50,000, enough to perhaps hire a new staffer. Many also are likely already at the lower tax rates, which means they might not benefit from the proposal, said Emilio Escandon, a certified public accountant with the firm MBAF in New York. He noted, for example, that the 15 percent rate applies to couples whose taxable income – after all deductions and exemptions have been taken – is $75,900, an amount that owners of very small companies typically might earn.

A tax savings will help companies’ cash flow, and some indeed will have money to put toward expansion, whether that means hiring workers or investing in equipment, Escandon said. Some owners might decide to pay down their companies’ debt or put the money toward personal uses such as funding children’s college education, he said.

Florist Rick McVey has a range of possibilities, not just from the prospect of lower taxes but because he might get more business from customers who have more money. McVey, owner of Dilly Lily in Chicago, is considering paying his staff more but also might put it back into the business.

“I may be able to invest the money to buy some capital equipment,” he said.

Donna Sebusch, owner of Cookie Creations of Atlanta, was pondering similar options, saying lower taxes could give her the opportunity over time to perhaps buy more machines that she needs for the shop, hire more people or give her staff raises.

Dan Golden doesn’t expect lower tax rates to dramatically change his company; he’s focused on profits, not spending.

“I honestly don’t think we would do anything different in terms of hiring,” said Golden, whose Chicago-based company, Be Found Online, helps businesses use internet searches and other online strategies to increase their sales. But Golden said that some of any potential savings could go toward bigger bonuses for the company’s 60 staffers.

A station agent greets guests in front of the Hogwarts Express train Oct. 22, 2015, at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios in Orlando, Fla. Comcast has spent billions of dollars refurbishing and expanding its park empire, growing into Asia and adding rides and attractions to its California and Florida destinations.

Theme parks: Comcast’s under-the-radar growth driver NEW YORK – One of Comcast’s fastest-growing businesses hasn’t been selling cable or internet subscriptions – or making movies and TV shows, or selling TV ads. It’s been theme parks.

Since 2011, when Comcast first took over NBCUniversal’s film and TV studios, cable and broadcast networks, TV stations and theme parks, the parks have been one of its biggest revenue drivers. It was, of course, a smaller business to begin with, leaving more room for growth, but that isn’t the whole explanation. Cable subscriptions dropped for a decade before growth resumed last year (although cable revenue still inexorably ticked higher). TV advertising faces a threat from digital giants Facebook and Google, who can target ads precisely to users. Films are an up-and-down business.

And the company is bullish on the parks. “We’re expecting a big year,” said Comcast CEO Brian Roberts at an investor conference in February. It continues to spend on them. NBCUniversal’s capital expenditures will rise 10 percent this year to about $1.6 billion, largely because of parks investment.

The Universal parks in Orlando, Florida, and Hollywood, California, were “probably the last thing on our list” in acquiring NBCUniversal, the entertainment conglomerate’s head, Steve Burke, said at a September 2011 investor conference.

Disney was then the reigning king of theme parks. But the Florida Universal park had opened a Harry Potter attraction in 2010, before Comcast took control, and it was a smashing success. Since then, Comcast has spent billions of dollars refurbishing and expanding its park empire, moving into Asia and adding rides and attractions to its California and Florida destinations.

NEW YORK – Aaron Hernandez, the former NFL player and convicted murderer found hanging by a bedsheet in prison last week, will be the subject of an upcoming true crime book by best-selling author James Patterson.

Little, Brown and Co. said Thursday that Patterson’s book, not yet titled, is scheduled for early 2018. Patterson also is putting together a collection of true crime stories in partnership with Investigation Discovery, to come out on the TV network and in print next January.

Patterson, one of the world’s most popular and prolific novelists, said in a statement that he was “stunned” by Hernandez’s death and wanted to know “what went wrong.”

He’s donating a portion of his author proceeds to education and reading initiatives.

Kardashian West: Gunpoint heist ‘meant to happen’

LOS ANGELES – Kim Kardashian West said that being held at gunpoint during a Paris jewelry heist last year “was meant to happen.”

Kardashian West told Ellen DeGeneres on Thursday’s episode of the comedian’s chat show that she’s “such a different person” after the October robbery. She said she was “definitely materialistic” before being robbed, but now she said she doesn’t care about things such as jewelry.

Kardashian West also told DeGeneres that Caitlyn Jenner is not being honest about her marriage to Kardashian’s mother, Kris Jenner. She said Caitlyn Jenner’s comments in her newly released memoir and in interviews promoting it are “hurtful.” She added that Caitlyn Jenner took “a really long time to be honest with herself,” so she doesn’t expect her to be honest now.

Kardashian West said she wishes Jenner success, but not at her family’s expense.

PARENTING

The last crane

On parenting a dying child

W

By JACQUELINE DOOLEY • The Washington Post

hen I was a new mother, I focused on firsts – the first smile, the first step, the first day of school – and all the countless, tiny triumphs in between that are the reward of motherhood.

Even so, those years were hard. Sleep All too quickly, those years came.

Eventually, both girls were toilet trained, sleeping through the night and dressing themselves. They started school and achieved more firsts.

They took showers, washed their own hair, cleaned up their toys and learned to read and write. I remember being relieved and exhilarated.

They were growing up!

When your days are filled with the unremitting needs of small children, the hours can drag on. You tend to look forward to a time with more freedom. At least, I did. I rejoiced when my children learned how to do things for themselves – celebrating their “firsts” rather than dwelling on their “lasts.” I took time for granted, hurrying through moments impatiently, as though moments were endless. It was a reckless parenting oversight, a gross newbie mistake.

I don’t remember the last bedtime story I read either of my daughters.

I don’t remember the last time I washed their hair while they giggled in the tub, making soap bubble castles and playing with toy mermaids.

I don’t remember the last time either of them called me “mommy” instead of “mom.”

Things were humming along exactly as planned until August 2012 – the month my older daughter was diagnosed with a rare malignant tumor on her liver. She was 11 years old.

My parenting style began to shift after that, though I didn’t realize it then. I stopped waiting for milestones, collecting firsts like rare coins. I began a different kind of waiting – waiting for her to get well, waiting with breathless agony for normalcy and health to return.

And it did return, intermittently, over the next five years. She went into remission, then relapsed. She responded to various treatments, then didn’t. She got incredibly sick from surgery, chemotherapy, and

deprivation and the relentlessness of caring for two small children made me yearn for each anticipated first like a lifeline. I couldn’t wait for the years when my girls would be more independent, more grown up.

Ana’s last crane. radiation, but she recovered. Her illness ebbed and flowed while I clung stubbornly to the future, to looking ahead, to the time when she would be well again.

I hadn’t learned to live fully in the moment – not even when the treatments stopped working, not even when words like “palliative” and “hospice” entered our conversations, not even when her scan this past January showed so much tumor progression that her oncologist described her cancer as a freight train – unstoppable. Her tumors had grown enormous. They filled her abdomen, pelvis, bowel and lungs.

She took her last dose of chemotherapy the day of that last scan. We paid our last visit to the pediatric oncology clinic.

The “lasts” kept coming – relentless, heartbreaking and agonizingly final.

January was the last time she was able to walk upstairs without gasping for breath.

February was the last time she had the energy to wake up in the

Ana’s last school picture.

morning and go to school.

I can’t remember the day she made me the last crane.

She’d started folding origami cranes when she was about 11. She’d had a liver transplant and her cancer was in remission. She wasn’t allowed back to school because the risk of infection was too great. She’d been drawing a lot, doing projects, and playing with the crafts that so many people had sent her as gifts. She’d gotten some origami paper and a little booklet and folded her first crane.

She continued making cranes throughout the years, often as a way to thank me for something (e.g., “I’ll make you two cranes if you help me clean my room.”) They’re all over the house – perched on shelves and cabinets, hanging from clear plastic thread above my computer, sitting atop the mantle in our dining room.

After her last scan – the “freight train” scan – her oncologist told us her left lung was in danger of collapse and that we’d see obvious symptoms of this soon, likely within weeks. He was right but, still, I wasn’t prepared.

She went from going to school three or four days a week to one or two days. She wasn’t able to walk up the path to her classroom, then she couldn’t walk more than a few steps at all without gasping for breath. Her appetite disappeared. She started sleeping more and more. On Feb. 28, she woke up and said, “I don’t think I can go to school right now. Maybe once I’m feeling better . . .” She never went back.

Soon after that, she slept for the better part of two days with very little lucidity and, in a panic, I emailed her palliative care doctor. Is she dying?

Is this it? A litany of “lasts” ran through my head: her last words, her last laugh, the last thing she ate, the cranes all over the house. Would she ever make me another one?

It turned out we’d increased her pain medication too quickly. At least, that’s what we think happened.

There’s no way to really know for sure, but she came out of it. She woke up. She rallied for a while. Those two days of not having her with us – really with us – marked the last moment when we had any hope she’d beat this.

The last crane is orange and white. It sits on my desk beside two smaller cranes. I look at it daily and try to remember exactly when she made it, but I can’t remember, no matter how hard I try.

In the end, I had small hopes – one more crane, one more laugh, one more teenage eye roll. I collected the moments because they sustained me.

They seemed to forestall the inevitable. But it wasn’t enough.

She took her last breath on Wednesday, March 22, 2017. My husband and I were by her side, talking to her, telling her we loved her. She wasn’t in pain. She died peacefully. I will always be grateful for that. And for the gift of cranes which decorate my house, evidence that she was here. She’ll always be here.

Janet K. Kennedy

Clinical psychologist, founder of NYC Sleep Doctor very trainable that way.”

Have someone you need to lull to sleep? Here are some tips.

Start any time

Lullabies can help kids – and adults! – of any age settle down. It’s especially helpful as you first start to train babies to sleep, Kennedy said, but you can start at any age.

“I love crutches, as long as it’s not you needing to hold your baby,” she said. “They can respond to their environment and learn to sleep independently with the right set up. Maybe it’s a stuffed animal or a pacifier or even reading books. It works because it’s a cue. It puts a good routine in place.”

Choose your tech

Decide whether you want to stream music from the cloud or play a physical CD. Our Bluetooth speaker was great at home and on the road until it died, but the music was tied to our phones. When we had sitters over and took our phones with us, our son didn’t have music. Now we use a portable CD player. Surprisingly, our son doesn’t touch it once it’s on at night because he likes the music so much. During the day, we bring it into the living room and put on dancing music. Unless you’re in a pinch, don’t use your actual phone under the door – as we learned after our son called his grandmother four times one night.

Choose a tempo, and a style

Sixty-beat-per-minute music is the best. This

• Receptions • Ceremonies • Anniversaries

tempo is good for learning, too, but if you go much higher than 60 bpm, the music can rev up the listener, rather than calm him. The tempo of about 60 to 80 beats a minute is a normal human heart rate at rest, so aiming for that range is akin to a baby listening to his mother’s heartbeat and falling asleep. You can find playlists on streaming services or YouTube. If you choose classical, make sure it’s not too orchestral or upbeat. The Baroque artists, such as Bach, Handel, Haydn or Vivaldi, are best for this. Native American music also is effective. Hipster parents might like Caspar Babypants – formerly the singer of The Presidents of the United States of America – who has a CD for kids called “Night Night.” We frequently use the Hidden in My Heart series. Kennedy recommends the classical album “Bedtime Beats.”

Limit it to 30 minutes

Kennedy said not to let lullabies run all night, because the brain stays attuned to sound and might not get into a deep sleep. Playing music for a half-hour after bedtime is good.

“I recommend using the old-fashioned white noise machines all night, but only using music as a sleep cue and as part of the bedtime routine,” she said. Also, you can start the music when you start the bedtime routine, to let kids know it’s time to wind down.

Give it time

You might not see instant success like we did.

A child may have to grow accustomed to music in the room – or might need it in tandem with a pile of stuffed animals and a weighted blanket. Like all things parenting, trial and error is key. For us, the music was a winner at night but distracting during naps. If it doesn’t work for you, don’t push it.

Take it with you

Bring the lullabies along when you travel. Familiar tunes have helped both of our kids adapt to new sleeping situations and time zones multiple times. And thanks to the Internet, your favorite music is easily accessible from anywhere. “I really like music because it’s portable and you can recreate those sleep cues when you’re away from home,” Kennedy said, “because travel stresses people out.”

There are hundreds of things that can keep a child from sleeping, including teething, growth spurts, reflux, learning to walk, autism or another disability, or simply being strong-willed. No matter the cause of sleeplessness, lullabies can help children get more rest.

I don’t know why I overlooked this time-tested tool when I became a mom. I love to sing, and my sister-in-law was using lullabies with my niece around the same time. Maybe I thought that in the 21st century parenting had progressed beyond cradle rocking and mothers humming. As with everything else related to parenting, I had to figure things out by doing what didn’t work, first.

When my son was 2, though, we knew we needed some help. My husband and I would put him to bed at 7 p.m. (with three stories, two songs, one prayer, lots of blankets, lovies, kisses and hugs) only to hear him talk to himself and play with his stuffed animals until 10 p.m. He would be tired the next day, nap too long in the afternoon and start the cycle over. Someone suggested playing music that had 60 beats a minute – the idea being our son found sleep boring. Lullabies at that tempo give a child something to focus on and draw them into a relaxed state – and sleep.

I bought an album on iTunes and streamed it into his room through my smartphone and a portable Bluetooth speaker hung on a nail (some things do change with the times). By 8:30 p.m. the first night, he was asleep, giving my husband and me time for a glass of wine before our own bedtime.

Janet K. Kennedy, a clinical psychologist and the founder of NYC Sleep Doctor, said she’s seen this miracle before.

“I had an ‘aha’ moment when my daughter was 18 months,” she said. “She had been sick; once she recovered, she was having night terrors. On the second night of this, at 2 in the morning, I put a CD in, her eyes glazed over and she pointed to go to bed. She seemed to be more peaceful and had no more night terrors.”

Now Kennedy, author of “The Good Sleeper: The Essential Guide to Sleep for Your Baby – and You,” recommends this to clients old and young.

“It’s like flipping the switch for the body; helping it know it’s time to relax,” she said. “We’re

“I had an ‘aha’ moment when my daughter was 18 months,” she said. “She had been sick; once she recovered, she was having night terrors. On the second night of this, at 2 in the morning, I put a CD in, her eyes glazed over and she pointed to go to bed.

She seemed to be more peaceful and had no more night terrors.”

30 Apple cider vinegar benefits still hazy Dear Doctor: What are the benefits of apple cider vinegar? I hear about it on social media, but I don’t understand how vinegar can lead to weight loss or help me control my blood sugar.

Dear Reader: My mom is a big proponent of apple cider vinegar. She likes to put it on her salads and vegetables, or just drink a spoonful of it. I am somewhat dubious about her claims of its health benefits, but I also am skeptical of my own resistance to accepting her belief.

Vinegar is created by the fermentation of many natural substances, including grapes, sugar cane, rice and, in this case, apples. The fermentation process produces acetic acid of various concentrations. With apple cider vinegar, the acidity is fairly high – at a pH of about 3 on a scale of 0 to 14 (a pH of 1 to 7 is acidic).

Apple cider vinegar also contains many polyphenols, or plant-based compounds. These antioxidant compounds have been shown to decrease blood pressure in laboratory animals, improve the ability to metabolize sugar and have beneficial effects on cholesterol.

Now let’s analyze the potential medical benefits of apple cider vinegar. In one interesting study, researchers removed the ovaries of mice to increase their oxidative stress and to mimic menopause; then they fed the mice a high-cholesterol diet. One group of mice was given apple cider vinegar, while another group was not. The mice given apple cider vinegar had improvements in their cholesterol; a decrease in the oxidation of LDL, the so-called “bad” cholesterol; and an increase in the antioxidant glutathione. However, there were only 10 mice in each of the groups, so the numbers don’t carry much power.

In a French study of rats fed a high-fat diet and apple cider vinegar, researchers found a decrease in blood sugar and benefits in all cholesterol numbers – triglycerides, LDL cholesterol and HDL cholesterol.

Researchers also found in the apple cider

SUDOKU

ASK THE DOCTORS Robert Ashley vinegar group a decrease in food intake and a decrease in body weight. The authors proposed that apple cider vinegar had an effect of reducing appetite. Again, the number of rats in the study was small, with only six in the apple cider vinegar group.

Obviously, rodents are not humans, but that said, many studies of humans have shown vinegar reduces the glycemic response and the glycemic index of sugars and carbohydrates.

Vinegar itself may help lower blood sugar, but the mechanism of action is not understood.

Along those lines, a 2004 study looked at 11 patients who had insulin resistance and 10 patients who had Type 2 diabetes. Compared with a placebo, apple cider vinegar improved insulin’s ability to bring sugar out of the bloodstream and into the cells of the body.

Also, apple cider vinegar decreased the rise of both sugar and insulin when the subjects were given a bagel and orange juice – normally insulin- and glucose-spiking foods.

Lastly, in a Swedish study of 12 healthy males given bread both with and without white vinegar, those who consumed the vinegar showed a lowering of blood sugar and insulin. Those who consumed the vinegar also felt full more quickly.

So the benefit of apple cider vinegar may be in vinegar itself, not anything specific to the fermentation of apples. But because the studies didn’t all concern humans and weren’t conducted long-term, it’s difficult to make a conclusion about the benefits of apple cider vinegar or any other vinegar.

I’m 15. I lost my dad two months ago. I found him when I got out of the shower. He had overdosed on heroin.

Heroin controlled Dad’s life ever since I was little, but that never stopped me from being me. My family has had it pretty rough, but that never stopped me from being me, either.

I can’t process the thought of losing my dad completely. I’m scared without him. The mental picture comes back to me randomly throughout the day. I can’t take it anymore.

I know he’s at peace now, but I still feel as if it’s my fault he’s dead because I took a shower and wasn’t with him. I feel as if it should have been me, not him. He had just gotten out of jail a month before he died.

I can’t keep crying myself to sleep. I need a way to cope, and right now I feel as if I’m at rock bottom and can’t return. I just want to be normal like the kids I go to school with. Why can’t I be a normal teen? – Rock Bottom Teen Dear Rock Bottom: I am so sorry for what you have been going through. You are a normal teen, and in my opinion, you are much more resilient than you think you are.

You have had a terrible shock, and in addition to the normal grieving process, you may be suffering from survivor guilt. Your father did not die because you took a shower.

He died because he had a heroin addiction he couldn’t conquer.

It is very important that you talk with a grief counselor and possibly join a grief support group. If your family can’t arrange counseling for you, please talk with a school counselor or your clergyperson.

There is a light at the end of this dark tunnel, and you’ll start seeing it once you get some professional help.

Dear Abby: I’ve been reading your column for years, but never thought I’d have to write to you. This year my aunt hosted a family dinner and did a wonderful job – everything was delicious.

There was only one problem. She was upset (everyone at the table could see it and feel the tension) because I ate “too much” meat and she didn’t have enough for leftovers.

I did eat more than everyone else that night (doesn’t happen often), but I say if the food is on the table, it’s fair game. If you don’t want people to eat it, don’t serve it. I’m asking for an official ruling, please. – Overate In

Rube Goldberg, who won a Pulitzer Prize in 1948, is best known for a series of cartoons depicting complicated gadgets that perform simple tasks in indirect, convoluted ways.

Some bridge players can get like that, thinking in convoluted ways instead of in straight lines. In today’s deal, for example, how should South play in seven hearts after West leads the club king?

First, note South’s four-heart jump advance of his partner’s takeout double. Remember that a bid of three hearts would have promised nothing (although North would have assumed his partner had six or seven points).

So, South’s jump suggested 9-11 points, which is what he had! Now North, envisioning a slam, used two doses of Blackwood. He would have felt much more comfortable using Roman Key Card Blackwood, because he would have known about South’s heart king-queen. (South would have replied five spades to four no-trump to show the trump queen and two key cards, an ace and the trump king, or two aces.) Still, North was confident that his partner would not have the club ace and king, so took a slight chance on the heart suit in jumping to the grand slam.

Declarer has 11 top tricks: two spades, five hearts, three diamonds and one club. He cannot establish an extra winner anywhere, so must ruff two clubs on the board to bring his trick total up to 13. South should win with his club ace, ruff a club high, cross back to hand with a trump, ruff another club high, draw trumps and claim.

2017 SENIOR CITIZENS ASSESSMENT FREEZE HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION The Senior Citizens Assessment Freeze Homestead Exemption (35ILCS 200/15-172) allows qualified senior citizens to elect to maintain the equalized assessed value of their home at the base year value and prevent any increase due to inflation. The base year is the year prior to the year you first qualify and apply for the exemption.

Your assessment and tax bill may also increase if you add improvements to your home.

To qualify for the assessment freeze in 2017, you must be 65 years of age or older during the taxable year and have a total household income of no more than $55,000 in 2016. In addition, on January 1, 2017 and January 1, 2016, you must have used the property as your principal place of residence, have owned the property or had legal or equitable interest in the property by written instrument, or had a leasehold interest in the single-family residence and be liable for the payment of property taxes.

Application must be submitted by July 1st, 2017. Information and applications are available from the Office of Assessments, located in the Administration Building, directly north of the Courthouse Complex on Ware Road, 2200 N.

What to watch NBA playoffs: Boston at Bulls, 7 p.m., CSN, ESPN The Bulls need to win to force Game 7 back in Boston after losing the past three games in their firstround playoff series.

HUNTLEY – Considering the situation, Huntley junior Kamrin Hoffmann figured his pinch-hit appearance in the bottom of the seventh inning might not require a swing.

Hoffmann was right.

Red Raiders coach Andy Jakubowski gave Hoffmann one pitch to look at, then called for a safety squeeze.

“I was expecting it,” Hoffmann said.

“Coach told me to be ready for the squeeze sign. It was an easy bunt, right down the line. I saw the first baseman come in, and I could see our guy scoring.

It was crazy.”

Pinch runner Joey Petryniec raced home with the winning run before Hoffmann was mobbed on the infield as Huntley held off Cary-Grove, 2-1, in their Fox Valley Conference baseball game Thursday.

Huntley (17-4 overall, 10-2 FVC) has won all four of its FVC series and 12 of its past 13 games. C-G fell to 13-8, 9-6.

“These (games) really test us as a team,” Raiders designated hitter Noah Konie said. “It’s shown we’ve really come together as a team and also that we really want to be here. Somehow late in games we’re able to pull it out and I hope we’re able to keep it up.”

Konie pitched the final 12/3 innings in relief of Kyle Morgan. He got the Raiders out of a one-out, bases-loaded jam in the sixth inning, then led off the seventh with a single.

“I love going in for those opportunities,” said Konie, who is 3-0. “I’ve been in a lot of those situations.”

Huntley scored in the first off C-G starter Mike Eleftheriou on Brad Model’s single, a ground ball that moved him to second and Adam Smylie’s single. After that, Eleftheriou (4-1) was tough on the Raiders.

“All our pitchers have pitched outstanding all season long,” Trojans coach Don Sutherland said. “Mike, in particular, doesn’t get much notoriety, but he pitches like that every time out. He’s been outstanding all year.”

Tommy Neilson singled in courtesy runner Tristan Atkins in the fourth inning for C-G to even the score.

Konie singled to right-center field to lead off the seventh, Petryniec advanced on a passed ball and moved to third on Tyler Koss’ ground ball. Matt Rodriguez pinch hit and was intentionally walked before Jakubowski called on Hoffmann, who took a strike before getting the sign.

“Cary had a tendency of going a lot of second-pitch changeup or curveball,” Jakubowski said. “So with a left-hander (hitting), I thought that played into his

Jones doubled the lead in the final two minutes of the first half. Kelli Ives got into the box on the left wing and had her shot saved by Pasetes, but Jones was on the spot at the back post to score off the rebound, making it 2-0 with 1:38 left before the break.

Although Jacobs coach Mike Hanley was happier with the way his team played in the second half, and the Golden Eagles (8-6, 3-2) came close on a couple of occasions, it was the hosts who scored the only goal of the second half. With Jacobs pushed forward in the final minute, C-G was able to hit on a counter attack. Pasetes did well to save Jones’ initial shot, but Robinson was able to tap in the rebound for her second, making it 3-0, with 4.9 seconds remaining.

Pasetes finished with nine saves, and Miranda Malone made six for C-G in the shutout.

“She’s been that way for the last two years; the team has an awful lot of trust in her,” Krystal said of Malone.

“We’re blessed that way.”

Whip-Purs rally; Lopez stops Chargers in relief Haefling hits 3-run double in 3rd to put Hampshire in front

By TIM SIECK

sports@nwherald.com HAMPSHIRE – Having played two one-run games against each other in the past 15 days, Thursday’s softball matchup between Hampshire and Dundee-Crown figured to be a battle until the final out.

The third matchup between the two teams featured more offense than the previous two games but was still a battle until the end as Hampshire held on for a 7-5 victory over D-C in a Fox Valley Conference game at Hampshire High School.

With temperatures only in the 40s and a stiff north breeze, the game figured to favor the pitchers, but it was the batters who stole the show in the first three innings.

q AND ANOTHER THING ...

Dundee-Crown’s Deanna Origer and Kayla Sjodin each hit solo home runs for the Chargers in defeat.

D-C started the scoring in the first inning with a solo homer by Deanna Origer, only to see Hampshire score twice in the bottom of the inning. Delaney Rummell scored on an error and Sarah Bowen had a RBI single.

D-C tied the score in the second and put together its biggest inning with a three spot in the third. Origer, Andrea Conway and Sydney Ruggles each had RBIs, and the Chargers held a 5-2 lead.

Hampshire (14-7, 7-3 FVC) answered in the bottom of the third with four runs, led by Morgan Haefling, who drove home three with a bases-loaded double to give Hampshire a 6-5 lead.

Rummell finished the scoring in the fourth with a long homer to left.

“Each time up at the plate, I get a little more confident and start figuring the pitchers out,” Rummell said. “I got a pitch I was able to drive and was happy to help the team out.”

The pitchers took over for the rest of the game. Hampshire’s Jasmine Lopez, who entered the game in the third inning, bounced back after a rough inning and finished the game throwing four scoreless innings. The key inning for Lopez was the fifth, where D-C (12-8, 5-5) had runners on second and third with one out before Lopez struck out the next two batters.

“In the beginning, I really strug-

gled but my defense had my back,” Lopez said. “My changeup was really working for me later and helped me get some strikeouts when I really needed them.”

Ruggles went the distance again for the Chargers and was hurt by one bad inning. She finished with six strikeouts and retired eight of the last 10 batters she faced.

“Some crucial defensive errors really hurt us today,” D-C coach Tracy Beatty said. “They were able to battle back with their bats, and I thought we hit well, but some of our solid hits were right at people. Every run and play is crucial in a game like this, and they made more plays than we did.”

Hampshire was led by Rummell with three hits and Haefling with three RBIs. “It’s always close when we play them, and today was no different,” Hampshire coach Kelly Wasilewski said. “No matter how much we are trailing by, the girls don’t get down and stay confident at the plate, and that was the case again today.”

“I think we’ve really come together and have really good team chemistry,” Robinson said. “None of us could do anything without each other. We get really good balls from each other, and we’re always supporting each other.”

After being caught offside a few times early, the Trojans (9-2, 5-1) scored the opening goal on a long, diagonal ball from Jones to Robinson, who collected it on the right edge of the box, got behind the defense and finished past Jacobs goalkeeper Emily Pasetes.

As much as Epstein has earned his reputation as a GM and president who made use of advanced metrics, the theme running through “The Cubs Way” is that Epstein and Hoyer actively sought “character” people in addition to productive players on the field.

“Epstein wanted (scouting) reports that went on for pages, like the Russian novels his father had him read as a boy,” one passage reads. “Epstein had to have this information. It wasn’t hard, measurable data. But it was information nevertheless, and if Epstein was going to build a team around high-character, high-impact position players, he wanted as much of it as possible.”

Fear not, stat heads, if you love your numbers, “Smart Baseball” by Keith Law is for you.

Law, a senior writer for ESPN Insider, has been at the media forefront of baseball’s statistical revolution.

The strength of this book is that it fits all the arguments and counterarguments of the new and old ways of thinking about baseball into one volume.

There is no doubt which side Law is on, and his stridency can be off-putting, as he repeatedly attacks old-school GMs and members of the media for being stuck on the notions that pitcher wins, batting average and RBIs are illustrative stats.

Law also forcefully asserts that there is no such thing as a “clutch hitter.”

Clutch hitting, yes, but no clutch hitters. You’ll want to dig into that chapter.

Here is where I wholeheartedly agree with Law as someone who has tried to weave sabermetrics into my stories without losing the casual reader: Understanding the newer stats of today makes it more fun and rewarding to follow baseball, not less.

The Cubs take their traveling road show east this weekend when they play the Boston Red Sox in a three-game series at Fenway Park.

This might be the interleague matchup of the season for many reasons: The Cubs are the defending world champions. Many are predicting the Red Sox to bounce back and meet the Cubs in the 2017 World Series.

And of course, a Cubs trip to Boston is a homecoming for Cubs president Theo Epstein, general manager Jed Hoyer and scouting-and-player-development chief Jason McLeod.

The Cubs and Red Sox are joined in so many ways, including the approaches to winning championships. Those championships were authored largely

by Epstein.

Speaking of authors, spring is the best time for baseball books, and we’ll

peruse two of them here, both of which should be of interest to Cubs fans.

If you’re going to read any book about “the plan” Epstein and his crew undertook to make the Cubs champions in 2016, it should be “The Cubs Way,” by Tom Verducci, the baseball writer from Sports Theo Epstein Illustrated.

Verducci was given unprecedented access – the type of access any beat writer would love to have – as he chronicled the Cubs’ way to a championship.

The book’s chapters go back and forth between each of the seven games of last year’s World Series and stories of “the plan” itself.

Verducci is a gifted storyteller, and the unbridled access allowed him to flesh out the secret way Epstein and Co. scouted first baseman Anthony

8 BEARS: NFL DRAFT

Bears trade 4 picks for Trubisky

By KEVIN FISHBAIN

kfishbain@profootballweekly.com In a monumental decision that could alter the future of the Bears, general manager Ryan Pace made a shocking move and traded up to the No. 2 spot to select North Carolina quarterback Mitchell Trubisky.

The Bears traded the 49ers their No. 3 pick, third-round pick (67th overall), fourth-round pick (111th overall) and a 2018 third-rounder to move up one spot.

“I didn’t see that coming at all. I was surprised,” Trubisky said on a conference call. “I’m glad they came up and got me at No. 2. I think it shows that they believe in me. And I believe in what Ryan Pace and Coach (John) Fox are doing in Chicago, and I can’t wait to be a part of it.”

The 6-foot-2, 222-pound Trubisky completed 68 percent of his passes last season and threw 30 touchdowns to only six interceptions for the Tar Heels during his first and only season as a full-time starter.

“I would definitely say my accuracy and my ability to make all the throws on the field, my decision-making, and probably my poise and calmness,” Trubisky said of his traits. “Aside from

From 2014 to ’15, Trubisky threw 11 touchdowns and five interceptions while attempting 125 passes playing behind Marqise Williams. At the NFL

Scouting Combine, Trubisky showed off his athleticism with a 4.67-second 40-yard dash and a 6.87-second threecone drill.

The Bears did not bring Trubisky in for a visit at Halas Hall, but they did work him out.

“We did some pocket movement

and stuff and some dropback, downthe-field throwing action,” he said. “I guess they just wanted to see how I was progressing under center and if I could make all the NFL throws. I think they were impressed with the day I had.”

Trubisky is the first quarterback the Bears have taken in the first round since Rex Grossman in 2003.

In March, the Bears signed Mike Glennon to be their starting quarterback for at least 2017. He received $18.5 million guaranteed, but most of it is being paid to Glennon for the 2017 season, which means the Bears can move on after one season. He is under contract through 2019.

“It is what it is. I’m going to come in and learn as much as I can from Mike and the other veterans on the team,” Trubisky said. “I mean, I’m always going to compete and do my thing and push the guy in front of me and my teammates as well. When given my opportunity, I’m looking forward to take full advantage of it. It’s all about helping the Chicago Bears win and that’s what I’m looking forward to most.”

Trubisky will be Glennon’s backup as a rookie and could be the first quarterback taken in the top five picks since Philip Rivers in 2004 to not start a game in his first season.

BEARS DRAFT ANALYSIS

Pace couldn’t miss chance to try to land franchise QB

By KEVIN FISHBAIN

kfishbain@profootballweekly.com LAKE FOREST – On his first day at Halas Hall in January 2015, Ryan Pace mentioned Drew Brees. He had been spoiled at the quarterback position in New Orleans and knew part of his legacy in Chicago would be finding the answer at the most important position in sports.

“The quarterback obviously is a critical, critical position to achieve sustained success,” Pace said at his introductory press conference. “…

I witnessed things with Drew Brees that I have in my mind, that I know why he was successful. And those are ingrained in me.”

On Thursday night, Pace reiterated the significance of making the correct decision at quarterback. “[After the season], I stressed the importance of the quarterback position and the importance of getting it right,” Pace said.

No one will confuse Mitchell Trubisky with a future Hall of Famer such as Brees, but Pace took a hack Thursday night – a big one – at trying to get it right at a position that has long been the problem in Chicago. It was his second massive swing of the ax, trying to chop down the tree that’s been weighed down with the hefty costs of branches of Cutler, Grossman and McNown.

Pace was stuck. This offseason had to be about fixing the quarterback position. He now has two expensive chances – Mike Glennon and Trubisky.

“The only chance you get to add quarterbacks like this is when you’re picking this high in the draft and taking advantage of it,” Pace said Thursday night.

The physical tools are there for the rookie, and Trubisky was thought highly enough that the Browns were rumored to be considering him as the first overall pick.

One NFC scout said that Trubisky “can rip it. He has a lot of tools.” He also referenced Trubisky’s presence in the pocket – something Cutler struggled with – and the former Tar Heel’s ability to move – Trubisky ran a 4.67 40-yard dash.

That same scout acknowledged the lack of experience, too, but that reinforces why Chicago is the right home.

Trubisky can spend a year getting comfortable in the NFL and sitting behind Glennon.

“It is what it is,” Trubisky said.

“I’m going to come in and learn as much as I can from Mike and the other veterans on the team. I mean I’m always going to compete and do my thing and push the guy in front of me and my teammates as well. When given my opportunity, I’m looking forward to take full advantage of it.”

Aaron Rodgers waited three years to start. Philip Rivers waited two.

Carson Palmer sat his first season.

There is no need for a rebuilding

Bears team to put Trubisky on the field right away.

The cost of the pick – three mid-round picks (one in 2018) – was staggering, especially if the Bears bid against themselves. But if they went a middling 6-10 in 2017, the asking price to get into the top three to take a QB in 2018 could have been a future first-rounder. It’s the cost of trying to land a franchise quarterback.

“If we want to be great, you just can’t sit on your hands,” Pace said.

“If you have a conviction about a guy, you can’t just sit on your hands.”

After the Bears took Trubisky, the Chiefs and Texans traded 2018 firstround picks to get Patrick Mahomes and Deshaun Watson, respectively.

Pace couldn’t afford to miss his chance. It’s a franchise-altering move, a risky one to be sure, but when you fall in love with a quarterback, you do whatever it takes to land him.

“He has the potential to be a championship quarterback,” Pace said.

NFL DRAFT

PHILADELPHIA – With defensive studs everywhere in this draft, NFL teams turned offensive. With an emphasis on quarterbacks.

Hardly stunning in a pass-happy league, except that no quarterbacks in this crop have been highly touted. Yet three went in the first dozen Thursday night, with two surprising trades putting the Bears and Chiefs in position to grab QBs. The Bears paid a whopping price to move up one spot to second overall for North Carolina’s Mitchell Trubisky.

Kansas City gave up its first-rounder next year to go from 27th to 10th for Texas Tech’s Patrick Mahomes.

Altogether, eight of the first dozen picks were offensive players, including Houston trading up for Clemson QB Deshaun Watson.

One controversial pick was Ohio State cornerback Gareon Conley, who was drafted by Oakland at No. 24. Days before the draft, allegations emerged that Conley raped a woman in Cleveland. He called the accusations “completely false,” and no charges have been filed. Conley was named in a police report that details the allegations, but no information has been forwarded to prosecutors.

The top of the draft was predictable: Roger Goodell got booed, then Myles Garrett was picked first by the Cleveland Browns.

“C’mon, Philly, C’mon,” Goodell said Thursday night amid the boos, not even wincing at the reception.

Moments later, he was back onstage announcing the Texas A&M defensive end’s name. Garrett, a junior and All-American considered the best pass rusher in this crop, is the first Aggie selected No. 1 overall.

Garrett stayed close to home in Texas, and he promised Cleveland fans “great things are coming.”

Cleveland went 1-15 last season and has holes everywhere. It ranked 31st defensively and had only 26 sacks.

The Browns were the first team since Minnesota in 2013 with three first-rounders. Cleveland also took Michigan safety Jabrill Peppers and Miami tight end David Njoku.

The Bears sent a third-round pick, a fourth and a 2018 third to San Francisco to switch that one slot and take Trubisky, who started only 13 games for North Carolina.

San Francisco was up next, and new general manager John Lynch already was looking good for bringing in such a haul to drop back to No. 3. The 49ers took DE Solomon Thomas from

Fans cheer after Texas A&M’s Myles Garrett was selected with the top overall pick by the Cleveland Browns during the first round of the 2017 NFL Draft on Thursday in Philadelphia. just down the road at Stanford.

For much of the round, it was an offensive draft, although the breakdown wound up 19-13 on defense, including strings of six and five defenders from the 13th pick onward.

LSU running back Leonard Fournette, who some scouts compared to Adrian Peterson, went to Jacksonville; new Jaguars boss Tom Coughlin is enamored of powerful running backs.

“He’s special,” Coughlin said. “We need playmakers. We need people to put the ball in the end zone. We need to do something about balance. We need to do something about creating a better situation where the quarterback doesn’t have the entire game on his shoulders.”

Another LSU player, safety Jamal Adams, whose father, George, was an NFL running back, was taken by the New York Jets, one pick after Tennessee, needing an upgrade at wide receiver, selected Corey Davis of Western Michigan. Davis is the FBS career leader in receiving yards with 5,285 and was a key to the Broncos’ turnaround last season.

Time to hit store, stock up on fishing gear OUTDOORS Steve Sarley There is only one thing that comes close to going fishing in terms of things that I like to do. That would be going shopping for fishing tackle. Let’s grab our wallets and head for the store.

If I had to stock an empty tackle box with lures and presentations for the year, I’d make a few recommendations.

Now of course, I realize there is no such thing as an empty tackle box. Most boxes are extremely overstuffed with lures that never have been used and more than likely never will be.

It’s just so darned hard to pass up a bargain, isn’t it? Well, a lure at any price is no bargain if it never gets used and never catches a fish. Remember that quality always tops quantity.

OK, let’s go shopping.

Plastics are a must. There are three types of plastic fishing that I do an awful lot of: wacky worming, drop-shot rigging and jig-and-plastic fishing.

I like the Jackall Flick Shake Worm for drop-shotting. They are soft and pliable and have tremendous action.

For wacky-style fishing, the original Yamamoto Senko is a good product, as is the Yum Dinger. For tipping a jig, I’m happy using a crayfish imitator or just a simple twister tail.

Tipping a jig usually makes me use a black or white piece of plastic. Wacky worming and drop-shotting will make me use colors such as watermelon, motor oil and June bug. I used to carry all of the colors but usually only used these three, and a tackle bag full of soft plastics weighs a ton. It’s not worth the work.

Moving into the next aisle at the store will find me grabbing a handful of spinnerbaits in different sizes. I like white in the spring and black as the year progresses. I’ll grab a couple of buzzbaits, as well. I like black, especially when I am throwing a buzzbait late in the day as the sun is setting. I like buzzbaits where the propeller is the same color as the skirt.

Buzzbaits aren’t the only topwater presentations I use. As a matter of fact, I plan on using more topwater lures this year than ever before. A lot of people think that a perfectly calm day is the ideal time for a topwater, but I prefer a little chop on the water. Many people only use topwater presentations in the morning, and I think that is a mistake.

There is no bad time to try using a topwater lure.

My go-to topwater is Bagley’s Bang O lure. Just cast it out and let it sit until the water calms. When it is still, you give it a twitch or two and wait. Give it

Fox Chain O’ Lakes: Chris Taurisano of T-Bone Guide Service (www.tboneguideservice.com – 630-330-0090) sends word, “Fishing has been very good the past week.

Spieth-Palmer team shares lead in Zurich Classic in New Orleans

AVONDALE, La. – Jordan Spieth showed off his stellar short game. Ryan Palmer contributed momentum-saving par putts. They turned out to be quite the team Thursday in the Zurich Classic, the first official team event on the PGA Tour in 36 years.

Spieth hit a bump-and-run from 100 feet to a front pin to set up birdie on the par-5 11th, chipped in for birdie on the 14th and closed out their foursomes round with a 15-foot birdie for a 6-under-par 66 to share the lead with 18-year-old Ryan Ruffels and Kyle Stanley.

Elimination game perfect spot for Wade Hoiberg confirms Butler is dealing with knee injury

By JOE COWLEY

jcowley@suntimes.com CHICAGO – Most of this roster hasn’t seen a playoff game, let alone a playoff game that now puts the Bulls on the brink of elimination.

That’s exactly what’s at stake in Friday’s Game 6, however: Win or go home.

A perfect Dwyane Wade moment.

Really, a huge reason that Wade was even added to the roster last offseason.

Sure, the second-option scoring is nice, but at 35 years old and the bearer of three championship rings, Wade is that voice of reason, that teacher of experience.

School is in session.

“You can’t think about one game from elimination,” Wade said, when asked what advice he would be handing out the next 24 hours. “You have to focus on what you can control. You go and watch the film and control how to play your minutes better, how to be better in your minutes, how to help your team, how to give your all the next outing.”

There was a lot Wade liked in the Game 5 loss in the TD Garden.

Bulls coach Fred Hoiberg talks with guard Dwyane Wade during a break in the second quarter of a first-round playoff game against the Celtics on Wednesday in Boston. Game 6 in the best-of-seven series is Friday at the United Center. The Bulls trail in the series, 3-2.

Thomas to 1 for 8 from 3-point range, Robin Lopez was again productive in the middle, and more importantly, the Bulls were in control of the game for 31/2 quarters.

A 20-4 Boston run that included two technicals handed out to Wade and Lopez stained the game in the end, but Wade made sure to let his teammates know that it was a game there for the taking.

“I’m just letting these guys know, and it’s a lot of these guys’ first time in it, that we’re not going to get a call on the road, to our liking,” Wade said.

“Not saying we don’t get any calls, but to our liking, the home team is gonna get a little more cooking than you, and

NBA PLAYOFFS ROUNDUP

the emotions run high in the game. Unfortunately, we got a few techs at the end, but emotions run high. I’ll take that. I’d rather see that than see nothing. It shows that people care. I’m fine with everything that happened.”

He especially should be fine with his own performance.

Wade finally had that breakout game in the playoffs, scoring 26 points, as well as grabbing 11 rebounds and handing out eight assists.

“D-Wade had it going,” teammate Jimmy Butler said. “We just tried to ride him down the stretch.”

But Friday is a game in which the Bulls need to ride Wade, as well as Butler.

The lingering concern? As the SunTimes reported Wednesday, Butler is dealing with knee soreness that he has opted to play through. Coach Fred Hoiberg confirmed that Thursday, stating that Butler would be receiving treatment around the clock.

So what Butler can give exactly remains to be seen.

What needs to be seen? Not dwelling on the negative.

“We’re going home where we lost the last two,” Wade said. “Focus on the game at hand. Don’t focus on it being an elimination game. That does nothing for you.

“We’re in a good place. It’s just weird because we won the first two [in Boston] and then they came and won the next two, but we’re right exactly how it should be – 3-2 going into Game 6 in Chicago, and it’s up to us to win the ballgame and bring it back [to Boston].”

STANLEY CUP PLAYOFFS ROUNDUP

Raptors knock out Bucks Pens, Senators win openers The ASSOCIATED PRESS

MILWAUKEE – The crowd on the road was rowdy. The 25-point lead was gone. The Toronto Raptors were frazzled, in danger of losing a Game 6 in the playoffs again.

This time, Toronto found a way to win.

DeMar DeRozan scored 32 points, Cory Joseph had five points in a 9-0 run in the final two minutes to answer a furious rally by the Milwaukee Bucks, and the Raptors held on for a 92-89 victory Thursday night to take their first-round playoff series in six games.

The Raptors move on to face the Cleveland Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference semifinals, a series that starts Monday.

Giannis Antetokounmpo spearheaded the second-half rally for Milwaukee.

He had 34 points.

Spurs 103, Grizzlies 96: At Nashville, Tennessee, Kawhi Leonard scored 29 points, and San Antonio advanced to the Western Conference semifinals by beating Memphis to take the first-round playoff series, 4-2.

The Spurs have beaten Memphis four of the five playoff series between these teams, and this was San Antonio’s second straight win over the Grizzlies in the first round.

WASHINGTON – Sidney Crosby scored two goals in 52 seconds, Nick Bonino had the winner in the third period, and the Pittsburgh Penguins beat the Washington Capitals, 3-2, in Game 1 of their second-round playoff series Thursday night.

Crosby versus Alex Ovechkin got much of the buzz heading into the showdown of two of NHL’s best teams, and Ovechkin collected his fourth goal of the playoffs. Evgeny Kuznetsov tied it in the third, but Marc-Andre Fleury made 15 of his 32 saves in the final period to help the defending Stanley Cup champions to the victory.

Crosby was a threat to score just about every time he touched the puck.

He beat Braden Holtby with his first two shots of the second period.

Holtby stopped 18 shots, but he allowed Bonino’s goal at 12:36.

Senators 2, Rangers 1: At Ottawa, Ontario, Erik Karlsson scored on a bad-angle shot with 4:11 left in the third period, lifting Ottawa over New York in the opener of a second-round playoff series.

The Senators captain beat fellow Swede Henrik Lundqvist from just above the goal line. The shot pinged off Rangers center Derek Stepan before going into the net.

It was Karlsson’s first goal and seventh point of the playoffs. The 26-year-old defenseman, who has been playing with a foot injury, also logged more than 28 minutes in the win.
