Tokyo gold jeweler Ginza Tanaka’s employee looks at the gold mask of Darth Vader on Monday at the jewelry shop in Tokyo. The life-size mask of Star Wars villain Darth Vader will be up for sale for a hefty price of $1.38 million. The 24-karat mask was created by the gold jeweler to mark the 40th anniversary since the release of the first “Star Wars” film.

The Associated Press TOKYO – “Star Wars” fans with deep pockets might consider it a golden opportunity.

A Tokyo jewelry store is offering life-size Darth Vader masks made of 24-karat gold at a hefty price of $1.4 million to mark the 40th anniversary of the release of the first “Star Wars” movie.

The creation measures 10.4 inches wide and 11.8 inches high.

The Ginza Tanaka store said the masks are not designed for wearing – at about 33 pounds, they would be too heavy, and they have no opening for a head.

While the masks are its most expensive “Star Wars” memorabilia, the jeweler has made pricier products. In 2013, a gold Disney-themed Christmas tree was priced at $4.5

million.

Marketing manager Hirotsugu Tsuchiya said it took 10 goldsmiths three months to mold and assemble the prototype.

“The most difficult aspect was that each section of the mask was created by a different gold craftsman and then assembled to make one Darth Vader mask,” Tsuchiya said.

Orders for the mask can be made at its main store in the glitzy Ginza shopping area where the prototype is on display. Customers will have to wait three months after ordering.

For those looking for less expensive options, gold coins engraved with Yoda or Luke Skywalker will also be available starting at $1,200.

They will go on sale Thursday, which is May 4, celebrated by some fans as “Star Wars” day because “May the fourth” evokes the film’s iconic line, “May the force be with you.”

DISTILLERY PLANS TO EXPAND Owner of Wondertucky in Woodstock hopes to add music, restaurant

By JORDYN REILAND

jreiland@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – Nearly four years after McHenry County welcomed its first microdistillery, owner David Cunningham has big plans to expand the growing business.

The Wauconda resident opened Wondertucky Distillery & Bottling Inc., at 35 E. South St., Woodstock, in August 2013. Cunningham got a craft distiller license from the state and passed all city inspections in early 2015, then he began making whiskey.

Cunningham, along with his assis-

tant Jessica Zuba, offers homemade clear corn whiskey and bourbon, along with seasonal concoctions such as fruit, vanilla, coffee and spicy veggie and herb infused whiskeys, only available at the distillery. All products are made by hand in the Woodstock location and each batch can take about a week to complete.

“We’re always trying new things and experimenting here,” Zuba said.

“You get to try things you couldn’t try anywhere else.”

Cunningham’s products are on the shelves of more than 200 stores, from bars and restaurants to Jewel

Osco and Binny’s. The price of the products range from about $12.99 for a 12.6-ounce bottle of 80-proof corn whiskey to $34.99 for a 25.3-ounce bottle of 80-proof bourbon.

Wondertucky added a tasting room in December. The space allows customers to sample some of the products, tour the building and learn more about the process. The tasting room is open from 1 to 10 p.m. Friday through Sunday.

Cunningham also is looking to open a larger location in Woodstock that would include live music, a restaurant, the distillery and the

tasting room. He said he is interested in staying in the area because of the overwhelmingly positive reception from city officials and community members.

“Woodstock is a charming, quaint, easy to work with town,” Cunningham said. “They are very happy to have us here.”

Wondertucky Distillery has as many as 30 to 60 people come through the doors on the weekend for tours, events and drinking. Cunningham said he has had customers visit from

Last store closes its doors at Huntley Outlet Center after ownership change

By HANNAH PROKOP

Lettering from the sign at the former Banana Republic was removed Monday by workers from Brite Light Sign of Lake Zurich. All stores have closed at the Huntley Outlet Center.

hprokop@shawmedia.com HUNTLEY – All stores have closed at the Huntley Outlet Center about a year after the mall changed ownership.

Banana Republic Factory Store – the last retailer to shutter its doors – had its final day of business Saturday, according to a sign posted on its door. Storefront windows were empty Monday, and most clothes were cleared from the racks.

The village is continuing to work on a redevelopment agreement for the property with the owners, Village Manager Dave Johnson said.

The village also is looking for compliance with more than 190 ordinance violations on the property, including damaged sidewalks and parking lots, rusted light poles and crumbled bricks, Village Attorney John Cowlin has said.

Indianapolis-based Simon Property Group sold the mall in April 2016 when it was less than half full. Huntley Investment Partners LLC, a group made

up of California-based Craig Realty Group, Chicago’s Prime Group Inc. and Elgin’s Capital Realty and Development, bought the property.

Owners have said they would like to submit for a zoning change to change the property to Office/Research Industrial District, and at least part of the

property will be demolished.

From the village’s perspective, its important for the property to have mixed uses and be a job creator, Johnson has said.

The center, which sits at Route 47 and Interstate 90, opened in August 1994.

Algonquin trustees will consider a proposal for a new senior housing facility south of Harnish Drive and west of Randall Road.

Company proposes senior housing facility, annexation in Algonquin

By HANNAH PROKOP

hprokop@shawmedia.com ALGONQUIN – Algonquin trustees will consider a proposal for a new senior housing facility in an area south of Harnish Drive and west of Randall Road.

The project, proposed by Spectrum Housing, would consist of an about 157,000-square-foot building with a mix of independent apartments and assisted-living units, Algonquin Senior Planner Katie Parkhurst said.

Initial plans call for about 101 in-

dependent apartments and 59 assisted-living units, Parkhurst said.

About 30 acres would be annexed to the village if the project goes through, Parkhurst said. The senior living facility would take up about 10 acres, and while there are only concept plans for the rest of the parcel, Parkhurst said the remaining land could be used for more apartments.

The Algonquin Planning and Zoning Commission approved plans at its April 10 meeting, Parkhurst said.

An annexation hearing for the property will be at 7:25 p.m. May 9

at the Ganek Municipal Center, 2200 Harnish Drive. The proposal for the project likely will come before the Village Board at the Committee of the Whole meeting after the hearing, Parkhurst said.

“We feel it’s a good fit,” Parkhurst said. “There’s a need for options for senior housing in the community.

The location is good – it’s close to shopping, it’s close to the library.

It’s a good piece of property that is a transition between single family to the west and commercial property on Randall Road.”

Marengo officials to continue discussion on city administrator, attorney at special meeting

By BRITTANY KEEPERMAN

bkeeperman@shawmedia.com MARENGO – Marengo city officials are considering making changes in top administration, and action could be taken as soon as next week.

Newly sworn-in Mayor John Koziol called a special meeting Tuesday to continue a discussion he started at his first official City Council meeting April 24, when he held an executive session to discuss personnel issues specific to City Administrator Gary Boden and City Attorney Carlos Arevalo.

Tuesday’s special meeting will be at 7 p.m. at Marengo City Hall. The meeting will be held in executive session, which means the discussion will

not be open to members of the public.

Koziol said Monday that action is not expected to take place Tuesday.

The council could take action based what it decides at its meeting May 8, he said.

“I am expediting things and getting things moving along,” Koziol said. “There are a lot of things going on with the city, and I want to jump into things as quickly as possible.”

Marengo employs City Administrator Gary Boden along with Assistant City Administrator Joshua Blakemore.

Whether the town needs two administrators has been a topic of contention among council members in the past.

F o u r t h W a r d A l d e r m an D e n-

nis Hammortree said that while he couldn’t discuss what went on in executive session, the mayor ran on a platform of change. If residents wanted things to stay the same, the outcome of the election would have been different, he said.

“I believe Mayor Koziol stated he would look at what the options were and there was discussion on not having two administrators,” he said.

“Koziol throughout his campaign said things would change. We will see what happens.”

Gary Boden and Aldermen Brett Martin, Matt Keenum, Todd Hall, Michael Smith, Steven Mortensen, Michael Miller and Nicole DeBoer couldn’t be reached for comment Monday.

The Chainsmokers surprised Huntley High School prom-goers Saturday when the band crashed the high school prom in Rosemont before playing at the Allstate Area.

The Chainsmokers make surprise visit at Huntley prom

By HANNAH PROKOP

hprokop@shawmedia.com HUNTLEY – Huntley High School was buzzing Monday with talk of the surprise guest that crashed the school’s prom over the weekend, Principal Scott Rowe said.

The Chainsmokers, an EDM-pop duo made up of members Andrew Taggart and Alex Pall, played their single “Closer” at Huntley’s prom Saturday at the Hyatt Regency hotel in Rosemont.

A student had reached out to The Chainsmokers’ manager asking whether they could stop by prom before their concert at the Allstate Arena, Rowe said. About two weeks before Saturday, the manager called Rowe to see whether they could make it happen.

“As soon as I answered the phone, he said, ‘This is going to be probably the strangest phone call you’ve ever received,’ ” Rowe said. “And he was right.”

Plans were kept secret from students in the weeks leading up to the prom, Rowe said. It was during dinner when the duo started playing “Closer” on stage.

“They weren’t really exactly sure what was going on,” Rowe said of the students, before they realized The Chainsmokers were playing and rushed to the stage.

The group stayed for about 10 minutes, and snapped a photo with the crowd

“The Chainsmokers have definitely made prom 2017 memorable,” Rowe said. “I don’t think we’ll ever be able to top this.”

to reach parked cars, bypassing the Highland Avenue intersection where the district has a crossing guard.

Another change would extend allday parking restrictions on Kennsington Lane near Indian Prairie Elementary School south. This change was requested by the bus service that transports students for both Districts 47 and 155. However, the resolution changes the restriction on part of the west side of Kennsington Lane from all day to only drop-off and pickup hours.

In other matters, council members will vote on entering an intergovernmental agreement to improve the intersection of Route 14 and Virginia Road, increase marina rental rates at Three Oaks Recreation Area, and grant a video gambling license to a local restaurant.

CRYSTAL LAKE – Changing street parking and road access near four District 47 schools – loosening restrictions in some places and tightening it in others – is on the City Council agenda Tuesday.

The district is asking for changes near Husmann, Canterbury, South and Indian Prairie elementary schools. All four recommendations will get a formal vote from council members with approval recommended by its Traffic Safety Committee. Requests for changes near Husmann and Canterbury elementary schools are aimed at making life a little easier for drivers.

District 47 is asking the city to change the no-parking area in front of Husmann Elementary, on the south

side of Paddock Street, to two 15-minute parking spaces to accommodate people dropping by for quick business.

Another change would cut back the hours that the left-turn ban to get into Canterbury Elementary is in effect. If approved, the ban would be rolled back to the drop-off and pickup hours of 8 to 9 a.m. and 3 to 4 p.m., instead of the entire school day. Drivers who want to turn left to get into the school, regardless of hour, now much drive past the school, turn left on Aberdeen Drive and left again on Cardiff Drive. Two other requested changes would restrict parking to improve student safety.

The district wants parking restrictions imposed on parts of Spruce Lane, and Golf and Nash roads, near South Elementary School during drop-off and pickup hours. School officials are worried that kids are crossing Golf Road

Wondertucky owner David Cunningham talks Saturday with patrons about the distilling process.

Cunningham completed a tasting room at the distillery in December.

Cunningham hopes to expand to a larger location and add live music and a restaurant.

Continued from page A3 Chicago and outside the state, including Pennsylvania and Florida.

Jaime McNamara, of Genoa City, Wisconsin, attended a tour with a friend about a week ago and already has been back twice.

“It’s amazing. I loved everything they had,” McNamara said, adding that the business filled a need in the community.

Cunningham recently partnered with Joy Pinnau of Capron, also known as The Inebriated Artist, to host paint and sips at his distillery.

The events include tours, sampling, a cash bar and all necessary painting

supplies for $35 a person.

“We want more and more (local businesses) coming and getting involved with us,” he said.

Danielle Gulli, executive director of the Woodstock Chamber of Commerce, said the city prides itself on the number of small, independent businesses that have come to the area. She said Wondertucky Distillery is a “destination”-type business that attracts people from outside of the community.

She said the Chamber of Commerce and city officials look forward to the “exciting things” Wondertucky has planned this year.

LOCAL BRIEF Weight restrictions imposed on Johnson Road bridge near Hebron

HEBRON – The Illinois Department of Transportation slapped new weight restrictions on the Johnson Road bridge southwest of town because of structural deficiencies.

Single-unit vehicles must weigh no more than 12 tons to cross the bridge, while vehicles with three or more axles cannot weigh more than 19 tons.

The new restrictions on the bridge over Nippersink Creek were posted last week by the McHenry County Division

of Transportation.

Improvements to the bridge will be added to the next five-year county transportation plan – the latest draft, covering projects through 2022, is under review. Seventeen bridges are scheduled for renovation or replacement in the draft plan.

Just more than 50 of the 133 county bridges included in the National Bridge Inventory are under the county’s jurisdiction, with the rest under various township jurisdictions.

Boy who befriended Stephen Curry dies after cancer fight The ASSOCIATED PRESS INDIANAPOLIS – An 8-year-old Indiana boy who befriended his basketball and football heroes during a years-long fight with leukemia has died.

Brody Stephens’ father tells the Indianapolis Star his son died Saturday of a viral complication.

Brody was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia as an infant. He fought it off, but cancer returned in 2015.

As he underwent hospitalizations and a bone marrow transplant, Brody was visited by his heroes, including Golden State’s Stephen Curry and Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck, tight end Jack Doyle and coach Chuck Pagano.

Golden State flew Brody to California last month to serve as ball boy, attend the team’s shoot-around and Coach Steve Kerr’s pre-game press conference.

Brody’s father, Jason Stephens, said his son was a “very special kid that inspired everyone that knew him.”

NEW YORK – Jean Stein, an author who wrote best-selling oral histories, has died in New York City. She was 83.

Authorities said Stein apparently killed herself by jumping from the penthouse floor of a building in upper Manhattan on Sunday. She was pronounced dead at the scene.

Stein was a former editor at the Paris Review. In 1970, she and editor George Plimpton produced the oral history “American Journey: The Times of Robert Kennedy.” Plimpton also edited Stein’s “Edie: American Girl,” an oral history of 1960s and Andy Warhol’s muse Edie Sedgwick. Last year, Random House published her book, “West of Eden: An American Place,” about Los Angeles and the American dream.

In a statement, the publisher said they were “greatly saddened to hear the news” of Stein’s death.

Teachers use GoFundMe for expenses The ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHICAGO – Illinois educators and school supporters have launched nearly 2,500 GoFundMe campaigns to help pay for classroom expenses since the fundraising site launched in 2010.

A new guidebook the company released Monday to help teachers decrease their out-of-pocket expenses shows Illinois educators have netted $1.2 million from more than 23,000 donations.

Money raised has gone toward class field trips, crayons, iPad keyboards, sports equipment, stickers and welcome bags with refillable wa-

State emergency center activated after flooding

SPRINGFIELD – The governor of Illinois has activated the State Emergency Operations Center as flooding affects parts of the state after heavy weekend rains.

Gov. Bruce Rauner on Monday morning said rivers are swelling with water in some Illinois communities, causing flooding.

Activating the operations center means that state agencies will be ready to quickly respond.

Rauner’s office says that so far inmate crews are helping with sandbagging in Murphysboro and Desoto in southern Illinois. Sandbags are being delivered to Dawson in central Illinois and Grand Tower and the Menard Correctional Facility in southern Illinois. The American Red Cross has a shelter open in Marion and others are available if needed.

Illinois Emergency Management Agency Director James Joseph says his agency is focusing on river flooding that will increase in several areas throughout the week.

Federal lawsuit filed by man injured by ICE agents

CHICAGO – A man injured during a raid by immigration agents has filed a federal civil rights complaint in Chicago alleging authorities wrongly believed he was a gang member.

Monday’s lawsuit claims Immigration and Customs Enforcement entered Wilmer

ter bottles, the Chicago Tribune reported.

Kanoon Magnet School teacher Blake Macdonald said he used GoFundMe in March to raise $515 to buy a variety of new, critically acclaimed young adult novels for each of his students.

“They’re thrilled and love the books, and [they’re] reading them when I’m not asking them to, which is a beautiful thing,” said Macdonald, who shelled out some of his own money for the books as well.

The state’s fundraising total puts it in seventh place after California, Texas, Florida, New York, North

Catalan-Ramirez’s home March 27 without a warrant or consent. ICE allegedly relied on incorrect information from a Chicago police gang database.

The lawsuit says Catalan-Ramirez has never been in a gang, but was left partially paralyzed after a January drive-by shooting.

ICE agents allegedly fractured his shoulder. The lawsuit says he’s receiving inadequate medical care while detained

by ICE. Catalan-Ramirez is a Latin American immigrant without legal permission to stay in the country. He has U.S. citizen children.

Chicago police and ICE declined to comment.

The incident happened the same day ICE shot and injured another man in a separate raid.

Plane makes emergency landing near Chicago

WEST CHICAGO – A plane operating under the regional branch of American Airlines has made an emergency landing at a suburban Chicago airport after reporting smoke in the cockpit.

The Federal Aviation Administration said Monday morning that it is investigating SkyWest Flight 2936, operated by American Eagle.

FAA officials say the flight departed Chicago O’Hare International Airport at 9 a.m. bound for Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and landed 15 minutes later “without incident” about 25 miles west at DuPage Airport in West Chicago, Illinois.

American Eagle is owned by American Airlines. American Airlines spokeswoman Marissa Snow said in a statement that the flight landed safely and passengers

“They’re thrilled and love the books, and [they’re] reading them when I’m not asking them to, which is a beautiful thing.”

CARBONDALE – Officials say genetic testing confirms that a state-record crappie caught in southern Illinois is a hybrid crappie.

The Illinois Department of Natural Resources says the fish caught March 28 in Kincaid Lake in Jackson County appeared to be a black crappie but testing confirms it was a hybrid. Ryan Povolish of Carbondale caught the fish, which weighed 4 pounds, 8.8 ounces. The previous state record for a hybrid crappie in Illinois was 4 pounds, 8.3 ounces. That fish was caught in a Jefferson County pond in 2008.

The Illinois Natural History Survey completed the testing on Povolish’s crappie.

Mark Davis is a conservation biologist with the survey. He says they used DNA from a fin clip and compared it with other crappie from Kincaid Lake to make the assessment.

Missouri authorities probe student’s death at resort

CAMDENTON, Mo. – Authorities are investigating the weekend death of a University of Iowa freshman who was found unresponsive in a lakeside resort motel in central Missouri’s Camden County.

The Camden County Sheriff’s Office said Monday that 19-year-old Kamil Jackowski of Arlington Heights, Illinois, was found unconscious in the motel Sunday. He was later declared dead at a hospital, and an

The report said the teachers cover what students can’t afford, spending about $500 over the school year.

Teachers also use DonorsChoose. org for donations for school purchases. More than $131,000 was raised for Chicago Public Schools classrooms so far this school year, according to the website’s data.

Camden County sheriff’s Lt. Arlyne Page has told the Arlington Heights Daily Herald that Jackowski was attending a fraternity event.

Page says foul play is not suspected, but she would not elaborate.

The Daily Herald said Jackowski was in Missouri for a Sigma Chi fraternity formal, and that University of Iowa fraternity and sorority leaders announced Monday that they are indefinitely banning alcohol from all official events.

9K mussels to help clean DuPage River in Illinois

NAPERVILLE – County forest preserve officials plan to release 9,000 mussels into the DuPage River in the hopes of bolstering the existing population and keeping the waterway clean.

DuPage County Forest Preserve District officials are scheduled to release the mussels into the river’s West Branch between May and mid-October at 11 locations along 13 miles of the river between Naperville and Warrenville, the Naperville Sun reported.

Jessi DiMartini, the forest preserve district’s aquatic research center coordinator, said the first batch was to be released last weekend but rainfall made conditions unfavorable. She said mussels can live to be over a century old and help the life of a river by filtering out such things as bacteria and algae.

“You don’t notice the little creatures under the water, but they’re there filtering away,” DiMartini said.

The West Branch used to house 15 species of freshwater mussels but is now down to nine.

No shutdown: $1.1T deal shows Dems’ clout

By ANDREW TAYLOR The Associated Press

WASHINGTON– Erasing the threat of a disruptive government shutdown, the White House and top lawmakers endorsed a $1.1 trillion spending bill Monday to carry the nation through September, an agreement underscoring that Democrats retain considerable clout in Donald Trump’s turbulent presidency.

Negotiators released the 1,665-page bill after Republicans dropped numerous demands on the environment, Obama-era financial regulations and abortion in marathon sessions over the weekend. The bill is slated for a House vote Wednesday, with a Senate vote ahead of a Friday midnight deadline.

“We thought we had the upper hand because a government shutdown would be on their shoulders, and we made that clear,” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said in an interview.

“We knew that if we didn’t push things too far we could get a good deal that could make us happy and that’s what happened.”

Trump and the White House had made concessions last week when the president relented on his demand that the measure include a $1.4 billion down payment for his proposed wall along the U.S.-Mexico border. Trump repeatedly insisted during the election campaign that Mexico would pay for the wall, a claim Mexican officials have vigorously rejected.

Congressional Republicans and Democrats ignored Trump’s proposal to cut billions of dollars from domestic programs.

Democrats boasted of money for foreign assistance and cash-strapped Puerto Rico while winning funding for favored programs such as transit projects and grants for first responders. They also defied Trump on a bid to punish “sanctuary cities” and on im-

The White House and some top GOP allies declared victory anyway, citing billions of dollars more for the military. Trump won a $15 billion down payment on his request to strengthen the military, although that also fell short of what he requested.

Vice President Mike Pence told CBS News Monday that the administration “couldn’t be more pleased” and called the agreement it a “budget deal that’s a bipartisan win for the American people.”

House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., praised the bill as well, saying it “acts on President Trump’s commitment to rebuild our military for the 21st century and bolster our nation’s border security to protect our homeland.”

Long-standing conservative resistance to big spending bills requires the party to seek Democratic votes to pass spending bills despite the Republican majorities both houses of Congress. That made the party out of power a major player in the negotiations. The talks also were spurred by a strong Republican desire to complete unfinished business well into the fiscal year and move on to health care repeal and tax overhaul, both of which are iffy propositions.

“If nothing else, it does al-

low the president to have at least one major success this week, which is great,” White House budget director Mick Mulvaney said. “He’s going to sign his first substantive piece of legislation this week, and it’s going to make dramatic increases in funding to his priorities.”

Ryan’s office peppered reporters’ inboxes with news releases cheerleading for the bill and GOP-won provisions such as extending a private school vouchers program for students in Washington, D.C.’s troubled school system through 2019.

Democrats had sought additional spending for nondefense accounts to match Pentagon increases above spending caps set by a 2015 budget pact negotiated with former President Barack Obama. They were forced to settle for far less with domestic increases in the 1 percent range.

The measure funds the remainder of the 2017 budget year, through Sept. 30. Capitol Hill Republicans joined Democrats in supporting increases for popular domestic programs such as medical research at the National Institutes of Health, with Sen. Roy Blunt, R-Mo., for instance, using his powerful post on the Appropriations panel to take the lead on a 40 percent boost in research on Alzheimer’s disease.

Report reveals horror of school sex assaults The ASSOCIATED PRESS BRUNSWICK, Maine – Chaz Wing was 12 when they came after him. The classmates who tormented him were children, too, entering the age of pimples and cracking voices.

Eventually, he swore under oath, the boys raped him and left him bleeding, the culmination of a year of harassment. Although Chaz repeatedly told teachers and administrators about insults and physical attacks, he didn’t report being sexually assaulted until a year later, launching a long legal fight over whether his school had done enough to protect him.

Chaz’s saga is more than a tale of escalating bullying. Across the U.S., thousands of students have been sexually assaulted, by other students, in high schools, junior highs and even elementary schools – a hidden horror educators have long been warned not to ignore.

Relying on state education records, supplemented by federal crime data, a yearlong investigation by The Associated Press uncovered about 17,000 official reports of sex assaults by students over a four-year period, from fall 2011 to spring 2015.

Although that figure represents the most complete tally yet of sexual assaults among the nation’s 50 million K-12 students, it does not fully capture the problem because such attacks are greatly under-reported, some states don’t track them and those that do vary widely in how they classify and catalog sexual violence. A number of academic estimates range sharply higher.

“Schools are required to keep students safe,” said Charol Shakeshaft, a Virginia Commonwealth University professor who specializes in school sexual misconduct. “It is part of their mission. It is part of their legal responsibility. It isn’t happening. Why don’t we know more about it, and why isn’t it being stopped?”

AP photo

Chaz Wing records the weather forecast at a radio station March 18 in Brunswick, Maine.

Wing has testified that he was raped by other kids three times in junior high, even after repeatedly complaining of harassment to teachers and administrators.

Elementary and secondary schools have no national requirement to track or disclose sexual violence, and they feel tremendous pressure to hide it. Even under varying state laws, acknowledging an incident can trigger liabilities and requirements to act.

And when schools don’t act – or when their efforts to root out abuse are ineffectual – justice is not served.

This, Chaz Wing said in his lawsuit against the Brunswick school district, is precisely what happened to him.

Although the school contests whether any rapes occurred, the AP found that school administrators allowed Chaz’s bullying to escalate and then failed to adequately investigate his allegations of sexual abuse.

From almost his first day at Brunswick Junior High, Chaz said kids harassed him, taunted him about his weight and subjected him to ordeals like a “gay test.” Complaining to teachers and administrators didn’t help, he

said. He slid into depression and refused to go to school.

Then one day in 2012, his mom came home and found him curled up in her bed, rocking back and forth. She begged him to tell her what was wrong. Slowly, his words came out.

“They hurt me,” he cried.

He said he’d been raped. Three times.

Chaz told police, child-abuse investigators and lawyers under oath that he kept quiet about the assaults for nearly a year because of threats against him and his family if he talked.

Sexual abuse allegations can be difficult to investigate. Because many accusers initially keep quiet, physical evidence can be long gone once investigators step in. Often, there are no eyewitnesses, leaving only the conflicting accounts of the accuser and the accused.

What Chaz told authorities and investigators – multiple times over four years – remained consistent, an AP review of government and court records

shows. And a child-abuse examiner wrote of “strong evidence” that Chaz was sexually assaulted.

The school district staunchly defends how it handled its investigation.

The junior high principal said his inquiry determined that the sexual assaults were “very unlikely.” One of the accused boys, he noted, had never even heard of anal rape.

“There is – as there should be – always an inclination to believe allegations of sexual assault at the outset,” district lawyer Melissa Hewey said in an email to AP. “But sometimes, the evidence compels the conclusion that those allegations are false.”

“The little boys who were accused,” she said, “are the real victims in this case and they deserve to be protected.”

Children remain most vulnerable to sexual assaults by other children in the privacy of a home, according to AP’s review of the federal crime data, which allowed for a more detailed analysis than state education records. But schools – where many more adults are keeping watch, and where parents trust their kids will be kept safe – are the No. 2 site where juveniles are sexually violated by their peers.

Ranging from rape and sodomy to forced oral sex and fondling, the sexual violence that AP tracked often was mischaracterized as bullying, hazing or consensual behavior. It occurred anywhere students were left unsupervised: buses and bathrooms, hallways and locker rooms. No type of school was immune, whether it be in an upper-class suburb, an inner-city neighborhood or a blue-collar farm town.

And all types of children were vulnerable, not just kids like Chaz who have trouble fitting in.

Unwanted fondling was the most common form of assault, but about one in five of the students assaulted were raped, sodomized or penetrated with an object, according to AP’s analysis of the federal incident-based crime data.

NEW YORK – Thousands of people from New England to the Midwest to the West Coast chanted, picketed and protested Monday as demonstrations raged against President Donald Trump’s immigration policies along with the traditional May Day marching in favor of labor.

Protesters flooded streets in Chicago. At the White House gates, they demanded “Donald Trump has got to go!”

And in Portland, Oregon, police shut down a protest they said had become a riot, as marchers began throwing smoke bombs and other items at officers. At least three people were arrested and police urged the rest of the protesters, who included families with young children, to clear out after they pulled the permit for the march.

In Oakland, California, at least four were arrested after creating a human chain to block a county building where demonstrators demanded that county law enforcement refuse to collaborate with federal immigration agents.

Despite the West Coast clashes, most nationwide protests were peaceful as immigrants, union members and their allies staged a series of strikes, boycotts and marches to highlight the contributions of immigrants in the U.S. “It is sad to see that now being an immigrant is equivalent to almost being a criminal,” said Mary Quezada, a 58-year-old North Carolina woman who joined those marching on Washington.

She offered a pointed message to Trump: “Stop bullying immigrants.”

The demonstrations on May Day, celebrated as International Workers’ Day, follow similar actions worldwide in which protesters from the Philippines to Paris demanded better working conditions. But the widespread protests in the United States were

Teachers working without contracts opened the day by picketing outside schools in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. Activists in Phoenix petitioned state legislators to support immigrant families.

In a Los Angeles park, several thousand people waved American flags and signs reading “love not hate.”

Selvin Martinez, an immigrant from Honduras with an American flag draped around his shoulders, took the day off from his job waxing casino floors to protest. “We hope to get to be respected as people, because we are not animals, we are human beings,” said Martinez, who moved to Los Angeles 14 years ago fleeing violence in his country.

Preserve protections for public land More than a century ago, Congress gave the president extraordinary powers to protect precious public lands, in part to enable the White House to quickly preserve the Southwest’s Anasazi ruins from looters.

Since then, presidents have used the 1906 Antiquities Act to create scores of national monuments on hundreds of millions of acres. But a president has never tried to undo a national monument, and it is unclear whether he has the authority to do so.

For that matter, it is unclear whether President Donald Trump will try to do so. But there are ominous signs that he is considering at least shrinking protected areas. In an executive order last week, Trump asked for a review of monuments that are larger than 100,000 acres and were designated in 1996 or later. “Historically, the Act calls for the President to designate the ‘smallest area compatible with proper care and management of the objects to be protected,’ ” Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke said.

In fact, recent presidents have used the Antiquities Act ambitiously, but, for the most part, not in unprecedented ways. From the start, presidents used the act to preserve huge tracts of land. Teddy Roosevelt designated the Grand Canyon, at more than 800,000 acres, as a national monument. Franklin D. Roosevelt vastly expanded protected zones in the Grand Tetons. Jimmy Carter created the largest land-based national monument, 10.95 million acres in Alaska’s Wrangell-St. Elias National Monument.

The Antiquities Act has protected California’s redwoods and Washington state’s Olympic Peninsula, Wyoming’s dramatic Devil’s Tower and Arizona’s Petrified Forest. The act also preserves historical sites, such as the Obama-designated monuments dedicated to Cesar Chavez and to the Reconstruction Era. Obama created more large monuments than any of his predecessors. He and President George W. Bush each set aside hundreds of millions acres, but their largest by far preserved big portions of Pacific Ocean habitat, which do not seem to be the object of Trump administration scrutiny. Instead, the prime targets appear to be two national monuments in southern Utah: President Bill Clinton’s 1.7 million-acre Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument and Obama’s 1.35 million-acre Bears Ears National Monument. The former is a spectacular red-rock landscape that tells a geologic story over hundreds of unspoiled miles. The latter also has glorious landscape, and contains priceless Native American ruins.

There is much good in the Antiquities Act track record, because presidents, in their broad view of the national interest, have generally used their powers judiciously. Moreover, Congress has not been absent from this process. Very often it has ratified presidential actions, and at times it has checked the president’s use of the act, an interaction that restrains presidential abuse. Trump should keep this broad national interest, and long view, in mind.

Wisconsin leads on concussion protocol It’s an issue that’s steadily becoming an epidemic in athletics.

A study by FAIR Health, a nonprofit organization that strives for transparency in health care costs and insurance, found that concussion diagnoses for people younget than age 22 rose 500 percent from 2010 to 2014.

Football, hockey and soccer, in that order, cause the most concussions, according to a Sports Illustrated article last year that cited the FAIR Health report.

Incident rates were higher in high school than in either college or middle school, and Wisconsin was among four states with the highest rates of concussion diagnoses.

Schools and other organizations have addressed the growing concern through educational efforts and training programs for coaches. Many young athletes also go through baseline testing. This often involves the athlete taking a test at the start of a season. If he

or she suffers a suspected concussion, they are tested again and the results are compared with the pre-injury exam.

The Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association recently made a move that may not lessen the frequency of concussions, but it will help some families with the costs associated with suffering one.

As of Aug. 1, all high school and junior high school student-athletes in WIAA-member schools will be covered by concussion insurance. The organization bought the policy for its student-athletes, which number about 80,000 each year, so families will have no out-of-pocket costs if a member has a concussion.

“We don’t want a single student-athlete to not be evaluated or treated for a concussion because of the cost,” former WIAA Board of Control President Mike Beighley said in a news release. “This

coverage provides one more level of support for member schools and student-athletes in making school sports as safe an experience as they can be.”

Wisconsin is one of only four states to provide the coverage, the others being Michigan, Montana and Arizona.

“We believe that offering this insurance represents a win-win, both for our members and the students they serve,” current board president Pam Foegen said in the release.

The insurance covers every student-athlete in grades six through 12 while participating in a practice or game sanctioned by the WIAA. An injured student-athlete’s insurance would first be billed for a claim and then the WIAA’s secondary insurance would kick in for unpaid deductibles or co-pays. The maximum benefit is $25,000 an incident.

IRTBA supports Tri-State expansion

To the Editor: The Illinois Road and Transportation Builders Association strongly supports improvements to the Central TriState (Interstate 294) currently under tollway consideration. The IRTBA is the voice for the transportation design and construction industry across the state.

Illinois is the transportation crossroads of our nation.

Our transportation network provides the foundation needed to keep businesses and families moving every day – to get to work or school, to bring families together and to move goods and services in and out of our state. We are consistent advocates for congestion relief, safety, reliability, innovation and promoting future growth.

Through the Move Illinois Program, the Illinois Tollway budgeted $1.9 billion to repair the 22-mile corridor.

Simply patching the crumbling infrastructure, however, does not solve the congestion problems on the Tri-State.

VIEWS Rich Miller lower property taxes.”

Did they really make progress?

Well, we all know that the governor is prone to exaggeration. He said repeatedly during the two-week spring break that the grand bargain negotiations were close to being wrapped up. He even claimed at one whistle stop that negotiations were going on between the two caucuses as he spoke, with another scheduled for the following day. None of that was true.

The house speaker has his own issues. He doesn’t say much except to repeat what he’s been saying over and over for two years: The governor should focus on passing a budget.

Madigan himself, meanwhile, has been completely focused on denying the governor any wins on Rauner’s terms. All wins must instead be on Madigan’s terms.

Madigan’s spokesman reacted to the governor’s statement by pointing to a bill the House passed last week to make workers’ compensation insurance “more affordable.” That bill (HB 2622), however, sets up a state-run workers’ comp insurance

We must invest in our roads for the 21st century and beyond. The proposed project would allow for a safer, more efficient roadway that nearly 400,000 vehicles travel daily.

The proposed project would create 43,000 jobs, reduce travel times by as much as 55 percent and relieve local congestion.

This project would allow local agencies to partner to address safety, noise, flooding and aesthetic issues surrounding neighboring communities near the Tri-State.

In November, nearly 80 percent of Illinois voters said transportation is so important that its funding should be constitutionally protected. The people understand wise investments in transportation are needed to maintain our competitiveness and quality of life.

The Tri-State is a key investment that we cannot neglect.

Let’s get to work.

company to compete with existing private insurers. Trial lawyers and unions insist that the hundreds of workers’ comp insurers in Illinois are colluding to keep prices high.

Hey, maybe such a thing could work.

But creating a government insurance company is not exactly the sort of reform that our Milton Friedman-worshipping governor will ever accept as a “win.”

Even so, I choose, for the millionth time, to look at the bright side.

At least they met. At least there was apparently a mention (no matter how brief) of nonbudgetary reforms. At least they didn’t full-on whack each other after their meeting ended.

You gotta crawl before you can walk, so I’ll take it, no matter how pathetically tiny or how temporary that microscopic bit of progress may have been.

It’s been Madigan’s habit over the years to send the Senate a budget and then announce that the House has completed its work. He did it again last year and was ultimately stymied when the Senate refused to pass it.

But Madigan likely can’t even pass another budget bill out of his own chamber this year, mainly because a group of ten or so independent Democratic women in his caucus are sick and tired of these impasse games. They have enough votes

to block him if they stick together.

And if the Senate ever does send Madigan its grand bargain, those 10 House members and several more will demand that he take some action. This impasse is killing them back in their districts, along with the blame that the governor has so successfully pinned on Madigan with 10 of millions of dollars.

A deal would take an enormous amount of heat off Madigan’s members, and, by extension, him.

Rauner, for his part, is dangerously close to being permanently labeled as a failed governor. Everything he’s tried has failed.

Sure, he can point to minor administrative successes, but he wasn’t elected to save a few bucks on data processing. And constantly awarding himself an “A” grade by pointing to these little administrative successes comes close to making him look dangerously separated from the reality that his state is rapidly going down the drain.

Both men have good reasons to find a way out of this mess. But they’re also the most stubborn men on the planet. Let’s hope they keep talking.

In normal times, a 40-minute, late-April meeting to talk about the budget between a governor and the House Speaker would be so routine that it would likely go unnoticed by pretty much everyone under the Statehouse dome.

But these ain’t normal times.

A funded, full-year state budget has not passed during a spring legislative session since 2013, almost exactly four years ago. We’ve had partial-year or “stopgap” budgets ever since.

And House Speaker Michael Madigan hasn’t formally met with the governor since Dec. 6, about five months ago. Gov. Bruce Rauner announced at the time there would be no more such meetings until the Democrats were prepared to offer up a balanced budget with specific reforms – something that the governor hasn’t done since, either.

So, it was definitely news when Madigan requested a private, one-onone sit-down with Rauner last week and then the two actually met.

Madigan issued a statement saying that he had urged the governor “to turn his focus to the budget.”

Rauner’s office then claimed that Madigan “hinted that he may be willing to enact a truly balanced budget with changes that will help create jobs, properly fund our schools and

Reports: Fox News owner in talks to buy Tribune media The ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK – Fox News owner 21st Century Fox and a New York investment firm are in talks to buy TV station operator Tribune Media, according to several reports.

A successful bid would keep Sinclair Broadcast Group Inc., another TV station operator that is also reportedly pursuing the company, from snatching up Tribune. Blackstone, a private equity firm, is said to be putting cash toward creating a joint venture, while 21st Century Fox would contribute some TV stations, according to the reports.

21st Century Fox owns and operates the Fox network, FX cable channel and 28 TV stations. Adding Tribune would give 21st Century Fox control over more local TV stations, most of them in major cities. Tribune owns or operates 42 stations across the nation, including WPIX in New York, KTLA in Los Angeles and WGN in Chicago. It also has stakes in the Food Network and jobsearch website CareerBuilder.

Several of the stations that Tribune owns are affiliated with Fox and air the network’s primetime shows such as “Empire” and “The Simpsons.”

Tribune, Twenty-First Century Fox Inc. and Blackstone declined to comment Monday. The possible deal was first reported by the Financial Times.

Reports of a potential bid from Sinclair, based in Hunt Valley, Maryland, emerged a month after proposals to dial back regulations that kept a lid on such deals were floated by Ajit Pai, the

“All the big media companies want to get bigger,” said Jeffrey McCall, a

media studies professor at DePauw University.

21st Century Fox wants to enter more markets around the country and drive its revenue higher, McCall said.

Shares of Tribune Media Co. jumped $2.19, or 6 percent, to close at $38.75 Monday. Shares of 21st Century Fox, based in New York, slipped 15 cents to $30.39.

WORTH TALKIN’ ABOUT TUESDAY, MAY 2, 2017

Val Kilmer said he’s had “a healing of cancer” months after saying he didn’t have cancer. The 57-year-old actor made the comment in a question-and-answer session on Reddit.

Kilmer was asked by a Reddit user about Michael Douglas’ comment last year that Kilmer was dealing with the same condition that Douglas had. Douglas successfully battled oral cancer after being diagnosed in 2010. Kilmer responded on Facebook in November that he has “no cancer whatsoever” and Douglas “is misinformed.” Kilmer said on Reddit on Wednesday: “I did have a healing of cancer, but my tongue is still swollen altho healing all the time.”

Film director Michael Moore speaks to the crowd Jan. 21 during the women’s march rally in Washington. Filmmaker and activist Moore will perform the one-man show “The Terms of My Surrender” at the Belasco Theatre on Broadway.

Michael Moore to take on Trump on Broadway this summer NEW YORK – Filmmaker and activist Michael Moore is taking his tough, anti-Donald Trump talk to Broadway. The Academy Award-winning director of “Bowling for Columbine” will perform the one-man show “The Terms of My Surrender” at the Belasco Theatre starting July 28 for 12 weeks.

Moore on Monday promised a very topical show that has a subversive, urgent tone. Not all of it will be scripted, some of it will riff on events of the day, and it may have guests and interactive elements. Tony winner Michael Mayer will direct.

While not all of the show will be an extended rant against Trump, Moore called it a “comedy shiv” pointed at the administration and performed only a few blocks from Trump Tower. The show’s tagline is “Can a Broadway show take down a sitting President?”

“I operate under the hope that he won’t be president for very long,” Moore said. “Why don’t we see if every night – and twice in the afternoon – for 12 weeks if a piece of theater can raise enough of a ruckus to discombobulate the man sitting in the Oval Office? I don’t know, but I’d like to find out.” He added: “Stranger things have happened in the last year.”

While Moore had a one-man show about the 2016 election called “Michael Moore In TrumpLand,” the filmmaker said “The Terms of My Surrender” will be composed of completely original material.

Moore directed and produced “Fahrenheit 9/11,” a critical look at the presidency of George W. Bush, and “Sicko,” which examines health care in the United States.

NEW YORK – Jim Shepard, an author acclaimed for his distinctive, fact-based fiction, has won a $30,000 prize for short story writers.

Shepard is this year’s recipient of the Rea Award, prize officials said Monday. Established in 1986, the Rea Award is given to writers who have made a “significant contribution” to short stories. Prize judges cited Shepard’s “prodigious research” into history and science and “X-ray vision of the soul.”

The 60-year-old Shepard is known for such collections as “Love and Hydrogen” and “Like You’d Understand, Anyway,” a National Book Award finalist in 2007. His latest book, “The World to Come,” was published in March.

John Legend named recipient of new social justice award SALEM, Mass. – John Legend is expected on a Massachusetts college campus this week to receive a social justice award.

The singer-songwriter becomes the first recipient of the Salem Advocate for Social Justice award when he accepts the honor Tuesday at Salem State University.

Legend is to perform and also discuss his work on criminal justice, education and other issues.

The Salem Award Foundation for Human Rights and Social Justice bestows the award to recognize those who champion

social justice issues and advocate for people who are underrepresented.

This is the first year the award will be given.

Legend has won 10 Grammy Awards. He co-wrote the song “Glory” that was featured in the 2014 film “Selma” and that won an Academy Award and Golden Globe Award.

Kelly’s new guy: Seacrest joins ‘Live’ show as host

NEW YORK – Taking a full year to name a replacement for Michael Strahan beside Kelly Ripa on the morning chat show “Live” paid off in a big way for producers, who roped in Ryan Seacrest as co-host.

The former “American Idol” host debuted Monday on the show, giving Ripa a marquee name to banter with when she is about to go head-to-head with Megyn Kelly on NBC’s “Today” show. The stretch of guest co-hosts dragged on so long that there were rumors Ripa was more interested in going it alone than in finding a regular to join her.

That was never the case, said Michael Gelman, the show’s executive producer.

But Seacrest probably would not have been available had the show moved more quickly, he said. Discussions with him about joining the show full time started after he co-hosted around the time of the Oscars, the sixth time Seacrest had filled that role, Gelman said.

“He’s a master of live television,” Gelman said. “He’s done so many live and taped shows. He is really an experienced broadcaster. You put the two of them together and it’s a terrific team.”

TECHNOLOGY

VR will change sports for players, fans

By SALLY JENKINS

The Washington Post

Virtual reality smells like sweat. Or at least it did to me in the brief period I spent in that altered state, during which time I practiced sideline out of bounds plays with Washington Wizards rookies, shot some free throws with Ian Mahimni, and then wound up in Verizon Center tunnel huddling and holding hands with the entire squad just before the tip.

The Oculus Rift headset provided by the Wizards training staff didn’t look like a universe destroyer. It looked rather like something a welder would wear, and weighed about as much as a child’s toy, only it was loaded with proprietary virtual reality tape from Wizards workouts.

What no one can prepare you for is the extent to which the device alters space, literally rearranges the ceiling and walls around you, and persuades all of your senses. Within a few seconds, your head starts whipping around like a treetop in a high wind, following the flight of existential basketballs through space. Next thing you know, your nose is convinced to go along with your eyes and ears, and starts telling you that you’re smelling the damp-towel, rubber-soled sneakery, liniment and humidity musk that’s in every professional arena.

VR still is in its clumsy, crude, awkward, unsharpened infancy – it’s not even close to where it’s going to be.

Yet it’s already startlingly clear that the technology is going to change the sports experience for everyone, from player to spectator. But it’s bigger than that, really. It’s going to alter human performance, period. Among other things, VR means the death of the playbook. So long to loose-leafed binders and two-dimensional game film. One day soon, playbooks will be loaded on VR devices, and this is how draft picks will learn their down screens and back cuts.

“It’s an inevitability, if you will,” said Wizards owner Ted Leonsis, who has made a big investment in the technology.

Leonsis has been ahead of most franchise owners in importing VR for his teams – he has implemented it for the Wizards, Capitals and Mystics equally – because of his belief it’s going to affect everything from competitive edge to player development to spectator experience. The conviction is grounded in his experience at AOL, which originated as a network that connected ATARI gamers for whom VR was the grail.

Washington Wizards center Marcin Gortat wears VR glasses at the Verizon Center in Washington, D.C., in November 2015. The Washington Wizards, Capitals and Mystics are using virtual reality as a training tool. longer are gamers. They are campus lab researchers looking at ways to apply VR to everything from surgical training to bridge building. Which is how the Wizards came by their specific system, which is called STRIVR: It originated in the Virtual Human Interaction Lab at Stanford University, where Wizards team president Ernie Grunfeld’s son Danny was in school.

Danny knew a Stanford football team kicker and graduate assistant named Derek Belch who studied in the lab.

Belch and his professor-mentor Jeremy Bailenson founded STRIVR to explore a host of new applications of “immersive performance training,” using Stanford’s football team as their guinea pigs.

Danny Grunfeld brought STRIVR to his father and Leonsis, who promptly implemented it. STRIVR’s clients now include seven NFL teams, three NBA teams, one Major League Baseball team, 14 collegiate programs and the U.S. ski team. All of them are toying with the STRIVR system in different ways, but they’re after the same thing: performance enhancement.

Behind any good performance is conditioning: repetitive practice, in real conditions that force the brain and body to react, and decide.

“You can’t deny that doing something more often helps when it comes to decision-making,” Belch said.

The trouble is the body can only tolerate so much practice before it begins to wear down. VR is a potential solution to that. Athletes can get unlimited reps in the most realistic environment possible, even experiencing some of the same stress, just by using the goggles.

But VR’s larger impact is in speeding up learning. How humans learn is complex neuroscience, but one thing we do know is that a hierarchy of experiences leads to greater retention.

Research shows that generally, people retain about 10 percent of what they read, but can remember more than 40 percent of what they watch and listen to. VR proponents have taken that concept and sprinted with it in the sports realm. They have demonstrated when it comes to any action that involves body coordination, full immersion learning is measurably better.

Applying VR to human sports performance is not a trivial undertaking. The applications are potentially profound, across all professions. STRIVR has a corporate training arm for crisis management, and diversity training: It can put someone in the shoes of a person

of color and show how others react to them in the workplace. It’s probable that chemistry students will learn structure by stepping inside molecules.

But there are a lot of things VR still can’t do. The focus isn’t yet sharp, and the viewer can’t experience full range of motion, because of something called vection, which is a form of car sickness.

Basically, when your head and body do two different things, the human system doesn’t like it and produces nausea. It can only reproduce reality from a static position, which is useful for a quarterback reading options off defenses, or studying your shooting form at the free throw line, but not for dynamic movement.

Which leads to the most intriguing part of all of this: the exploration of where we stand in the competition between the human and the machine.

For now, we’re still in a place to discuss human superiority. VR is just a multifaceted camera linked to a powerful computer platform. The great strengths of computers are the speed and accuracy with which they process information and solve equations. But what they lack is judgment and flexibility – when it comes to those qualities, the human head outstrips devices.

You’ve got the diploma. You’ve moved over your tassel. Now the real work begins. When you’re paying off student loans, saving and investing may seem like the last things you can afford to do. But it’s never too early to start squirreling away some money for the future, even if it’s only a few bucks at a time. Financial apps can help, as long as you’re not nervous about giving companies access to your financial data. If you’re on board with that, these apps can help make spending and investing a little less daunting.

Robinhood

Robinhood’s goal is to make you rich without making brokerage firms richer, by letting you trade without commissions and fees. The real benefit of Robinhood is it’s fast – much faster than traditional brokerage firms and built with a real-time pace at its core. Users can pick the stocks they want and track their performance on the market. It’s also pretty easy to cash out, if you’re done playing the market or want to reinvest in another stock. Robinhood is not as strong on educational tools as other apps, but if you already have a handle on how the markets work, it is an elegant and efficient tool for trading. There is a premium mem-

bership available for $10 a month, for those who want access to after-hours trading and a couple of other perks.

Stash Invest

Stash Invest also is designed to let you deposit just a little money at once so you can invest consistently over time. Stash also provides a lot of educational information to help you pick investment options that work best for you. It offers ready-made portfolios that give you thematic choices for investing – “Clean and Green,” for example, or “Defending America” – and that list companies in a particular industry or that support certain causes, such as LGBT rights. Choosing among these portfolios can be a little more work upfront than other apps that put your money in a general, diversified fund. But it also gives you a strong basis for moving on to more advanced investing by educating you on the culture of investing.

Clarity Money

With options to help you keep track of bills, streamline debt and set up automatic ways to save, Clarity Money is an (almost) all-inone financial app. It assesses your

finances and suggests subscriptions you can cut or bills you can negotiate.

It partners with other companies for some of these services – BillShark, for example, helps with bill negotiations – which can come with (clearly disclosed) fees. The app also cleverly takes into account when your next paycheck is coming so you can better plan what your immediate financial moves should be rather than focusing only on the long haul.

Digit

Digit is laser-focused on getting you to put something away for a rainy day. This app evaluates what’s going in and out of your bank account and socks away money depending on your situation. Digit communicates with you by text message, giving you daily updates about the money it’s pulled into savings. You can make a withdrawal at any time, if you want to spend some cash, or if you think Digit has been overambitious with your savings abilities. But mostly, you can set it and forget it. You won’t make more money, because you’re not investing or gaining interest. But if saving is all you need, this is a completely manageable way to do it.

This investing app takes the concept of “seed money” and runs with it. The app is designed to let you drop in $5 to invest. It also lets you round up purchases you make to the next dollar and invest the difference. The app is simple to set up and makes it easy to start putting money into your account automatically. It’s also easy to stop, if you have a bad month and can’t afford to invest at the time. The app has clear charts and explana-

tions of what money it’s taking and when it’s investing, so there are no surprises. It determines your portfolio based on how risky you want to be. Acorns works best when you feed your account on a regular basis, even if it’s just a little at a time. This isn’t a get-rich-quick strategy; it’s about slowly growing your money over time. Eventually, the idea is that you’ll end up with a mighty oak of an investment portfolio.

Options for losing weight exist for individuals using wheelchairs Dear Doctors: Can you give me some ideas on how to lose weight while using a wheelchair? I’m 66 and need a wheelchair to get around. When the distance is short enough, I use crutches. I’m on a tight budget, but try to work out as much as I can, with very little results. I’m getting depressed because nothing seems to work.

Dear Reader: One look at the multibillion-dollar weight-loss industry, and it’s clear staying fit is difficult for many of us.

And while limited mobility certainly adds to the challenge, with creativity and determination, you can win this battle.

When you use a wheelchair, it’s particularly important to get fit and to maintain a healthy weight. Even a few excess pounds can make it more difficult to get into and out of a wheelchair. In that same vein, you need your shoulders, arms and abs to remain strong so you can easily move into and out of the chair, and to prevent injury as you do so.

Let’s start with what you eat. Focus on a diet made up of a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables, lean proteins, dairy products, healthy fats, legumes, whole grains and leafy greens. Limit added sugars, and cut out empty calories such as sodas and processed snack foods. The key here is to adjust your diet to your level of physical activity.

One tool that really works (and takes a bit of courage to do honestly) is keeping a food diary. Even if just for one week, write down everything that passes your lips. The details will jolt you into awareness and, quite possibly, motivate you to make some changes.

As for exercise, the days of the sedentary wheelchair-user are over. There are several

SUDOKU

ASK THE DOCTORS Elizabeth Ko and Eve Glazier exercises you can do from your chair.

With a pair of hand weights, you can keep your biceps, triceps, pectorals and even your abs strong and toned. Resistance bands are another way to maintain strength and range of motion.

An exercise ball is an excellent workout tool. Hold it above your head and, as you engage your stomach muscles, slowly rotate from left to right and back again. Lift the ball above your head and slowly lower it, again engaging your abdominals. Hold the ball above your head, once again engaging your abs, and perform slight tilts to the points of the compass.

With all of these, the idea is to start slow and gradually build up repetitions. Stop if you feel any pain. And be sure to drink water and stay hydrated.

Is there a senior citizen center in your area? Many of them have exercise and yoga classes that can be adapted for someone using a wheelchair. Some even have sports teams that will make room for a rolling athlete.

A challenge for all of us as we get older is social isolation. A group activity can help you feel connected, which will raise your spirits and keep you motivated.

The way to handle your feelings would be to consider if Justin were to act on the feelings you think he shared with you, he could lose his job, and the future he has worked so hard to build would be destroyed. If you care about him at all beyond your attraction, you will not pursue this further.

Dear Abby: I am writing about how to proceed with expressing sympathy for an old friend.

My husband and I were very close friends with a couple for about eight years. We moved away, but continued to see each other occasionally. We kept in touch, and in the past few years have been able to visit more frequently.

When we were in their city six months ago, we saw them a few times and they mentioned they had no friends. I know she has no siblings or parents left.

Her husband died suddenly of a stroke five months ago. They were together for 50 years.

I sent her a formal sympathy note and three more casual follow-ups. I also wrote a poem in his memory. ... Abby, I don’t want her to think we aren’t feeling a lot of sympathy for her. Yet her silence indicates either our overtures are unwanted or her condition is so bad she’s emotionally overwhelmed. When does an old friend stop reaching out? – Bewildered In Ohio Dear Bewildered: Call the woman and ask her how she’s doing. Explain that because you haven’t heard from her, you have been concerned. You are a caring friend, but there is only so much anyone can do via long distance.

It’s possible because her husband’s death was unexpected, she has had her hands full learning how to take care of the details he managed while he was alive. If she’s not doing well, suggest she join a support group so she won’t be isolated in her grief. And recognize that, as much as you wish to support her, she will have to forge her own way through her heartache.

efits that go along with being popular. Don’t let it go to your head. Give back as much as, if not more than, what you receive from others.

Senior Discount

PRAYER to the BLESSED VIRGIN

1407 Ridgeview Drive, McHenry, IL 60050

A simple bid in a suit (here, one spade) shows 0-8 points, and a single jump (to two spades) promises 9-11 points. So, does it follow that with 12-14 points, South would bid three spades?

Of course not! With 12 points or more, South cue-bids two clubs.

This is totally artificial. Afterward, each player shows suits, and with luck a good fit will be found. Here, North rebids two hearts, South bids two spades (or now jumps to three spades), and North raises to four spades.

West cashes two top clubs, then shifts to a heart. What happens after that?

Declarer must try to avoid two trump losers. Since West is highly likely to have the spade king, South should start by cashing his spade ace.

When the king drops, declarer can bring home an overtrick. However, if neither the king nor the jack appears, declarer crosses to dummy with a diamond and plays a spade toward his queen. No guesswork is needed.

What would a jump to three spades after partner’s double show?

Tune in tomorrow.

Horace Walpole, an 18th-century English novelist, said, “In all science error precedes the truth, and it is better it should go first than last.”

In bridge, when a player makes an error, he hopes to learn from it and get it right next time. We are looking at advancing partner’s takeout double. Too many of my students make a simple bid in a suit whatever their point-count and expect partner to be psychic.

Look at the South hand. West opens one club, North doubles, and East passes -- what should South do?

akantecki@shawmedia.com HUNTLEY – Players and coaches on the Huntley boys volleyball bench jumped out of their seats in excitement after senior middle blocker Luke Mahnke put away the deciding point in the second set against Harlem.

It also was a jump of relief.

Huntley held a ninepoint advantage against Harlem after dropping the first set, only to see it shrink to two before Mahnke placed a kill perfectly in the front at Luke Mahnke the direction of coach Gerry Marchand.

“We tried to keep the water coming,” Mahnke said about surviving the second set and going to a third. “Other than that, we just have to go out, hope we don’t fall over, and hope we don’t get too tired.”

HUNTLEY BASEBALL

Raines fights to shake off scary injury

By JOE STEVENSON

joestevenson@shawmedia.com

Cole Raines

Huntley pitcher who was struck in the head by a line drive last season Johnson recommended Raines to Dr. Angela Yeates, a licensed clinical professional counselor in Algonquin. Raines told Yeates he had experienced similar problems in the summer, when he would close his eyes after throwing his warm-up pitches, experience a flashback and just shut down.

Now, before Raines goes to bed each night, he performs breathing exercises and kind of “turns everything off.” Yeates calls it his thinking time.

He does the same thing before he pitches.

“She calls it grounding,” Raines said. “When I go out there, I think, ‘It’s a new year, you can do this again. You’re going to be healthy.’ She even told me to expect getting hit again, like if you expect getting hit in a car, you’re hyper-aware of it. She said be hyper-aware of a ball coming back and you should be able to field your position.”

Huntley is cruising along at 18-4 overall, 10-2 in the FVC, one game behind Crystal Lake South.

Jakubowski hopes to ease Raines, a side-arming right-hander, back into the his bullpen rotation in the final weeks of the season.

Jakubowski said Raines’ injury was the scariest thing he has seen in coaching, by far.

“I still hear that sound in my head,” Jakubowski said. “He’s fighting this. He has a lot of support from his teammates, his coaches, his family and friends. He’s working his way back, and we’re taking him along slowly. He’s doing a tremendous job, and there’s no doubt in my mind that he will be back on the mound doing his thing on a regular basis.”

Precisely when that will be is the question.

There is no rush, although Raines and his father believe he is turning the corner. Raines will attend Milwaukee School of Engineering next year, where he will major in bio-medical engineering and pitch for the baseball team.

“The goal for me – it’d be great for me to pitch with the guys and contribute – but the goal for me is to pursue my further baseball career (in college),” Raines said. “It’s not a sprint, it’s a marathon, as my doctors have said. Don’t rush into things if you’re not healthy. These guys, the coaches and teammates have been so supportive of me. All the guys at Pro Player, they’ve been pulling for me. We’re enemies on the field (in high school), but off the field they’ve given me so much support. I have to thank those guys.”

joestevenson@shawmedia.com All Tyler Pennington wanted was a chance to prove himself at the highest level of college football.

When it became apparent that the Cary-Grove senior was not going to receive an athletic scholarship offer from an FBS school, he sought coaches who would take him as a preferred walk-on.

Pennington, the Trojans’ career rushing leader and a four-year varsity starter, decided Monday night he will attend Arkansas, figuring Southeastern Conference football is as good as it gets.

C-G assistant coach Matt Ruhland was teammates with Arkansas coach Bret Bielema at Iowa and reached out to him this winter about Pennington. Bielema extended the walk-on offer to Pennington after he visited the Fayetteville school in late March.

“All I asked for was an opportunity, because I feel once I get anywhere I go, I’m going to be able to prove myself and show people what I can do,” Pennington said. “What better place to do it than the SEC West?”

Pennington finished his career with 5,161 rushing yards (15th on the IHSA career list) and 84 touchdowns.

He started at fullback for four seasons and at linebacker for three. At 5-foot-10, 220 pounds, Razorbacks coaches likely will look at him as a linebacker.

The issue with Pennington’s recruitment was his height; most college coaches considered him too short.

Pennington, the 2016 Northwest Herald Male Athlete of the Year, remained undeterred that he can make it at the highest level. He could have had scholarship offers from lower levels and also had a walk-on offer at FCS Illinois State.

“I felt I owed it to myself because if I took a shot at a lower level and had a lot of success, I always felt I’d be wondering, ‘What if?’ ” Pennington said. “To take a

Pennington thanked Ruhland for contacting Bielema on his behalf.

“It was everything,” Pennington said. “I wouldn’t have had any chance if it wasn’t for coach Ruhland. I can’t thank him enough.”

Ruhland had two sons play with Pennington and was thrilled to help him in any way. Ruhland contacted Bielema a few months ago and sent him a link to Pennington’s videos. Bielema then invited the Penningtons to visit the campus and meet the coaches.

As a preferred walk-on, Pennington will have a spot, but not an athletic scholarship. Some preferred walkons wind up earning scholarships if they contribute enough as their careers progress. Pennington will receive academic scholarship money close to $10,000.

“Tyler’s an easy kid to help because he’s such a great kid,” Ruhland said. “He kind of sells himself with his work ethic and his ability in the classroom and on the field. I think (as a walk-on) you have to go down there knowing you’re going to spend the next

HUNTLEY – As Huntley pitcher Cole Raines whiffed three Grayslake North hitters in his one inning April 22, he became engulfed with an unusual calm.

It had nothing to do with his performance. It had everything to do with his mind blocking out the bad thoughts, the flashbacks, the fear from one year ago.

Time, along with mindfulness therapy, was working.

For the first time since May 3, 2016, when Raines was struck in the right ear by a line drive, it felt good to be back on the bump.

“It was the first time in a while I pitched without any fear or flashbacks,” Raines said. “It felt good to be back to, not 100 percent, but closer to 100 than I’ve been.”

One year ago Wednesday, Raines was pitching in the seventh inning of a game against Crystal Lake South when he threw an outside fastball to Gators left-handed hitter Nick Van Witzenburg. That much he remembers. The next thing he recalled was lying on the mound with blood in the dirt and on his cap.

Huntley coach Andy Jakubowski and South’s Brian Bogda agreed to suspend the game and finish the next day, when they were scheduled to play again. Raines was there, with a big BandAid covering stitches on his ear and a fractured temporal bone.

The doctor told Raines he was extremely fortunate. The physical aspect, with some good luck, was the easy part. More complicated were the mental issues with getting back to pitching.

He struggled with it while pitching for his Pro Player Canes travel team last summer, then still had trouble early this season.

It started with the season opener against Belvidere North on March 21. Raines came in, threw his warm-up pitches, closed his eyes and tried to slow himself down for a moment.

“I opened my eyes and saw the ball in the dirt and the blood on the hat,” Raines said. “After I saw that, my body shut down. I couldn’t tell you what I said or did. I couldn’t remember it. It was a little rough.”

The Raines family sought help from Dr. Steven Johnson, a psychiatrist in Arlington Heights, who diagnosed Raines with post-traumatic stress disorder. The nightmares and the flashbacks were symptoms similar to those displayed by former military personnel after they have been in combat.

“The best way I could describe it is putting someone who’s scared of snakes in a room full of snakes,” said Ken Raines, Cole’s father and a pitching coach at Pro Player Consultants in McHenry. “He wasn’t able to get comfortable on the mound, so rather than keep forcing him out there, we decided the best thing would be to take a break. When he got on the mound, he kept seeing that, and he wasn’t able to focus on pitching.”

“It was the first time in a while I pitched without any fear or flashbacks. It felt good to be back to, not 100 percent, but closer to 100 than I’ve been.”

4 PHILLIES 10, CUBS 2

Phillies pour it on against Anderson

By BRUCE MILES

CHICAGO – Cubs manager Joe Maddon might accuse observers of outcome bias if they were to tell him the team should have called off Monday night’s game before it started.

But start it did, and Cubs starting pitcher Brett Anderson was finished early.

After waiting out a rain delay of 1 hour, 25 minutes – and starting the game while rain was coming down – the Cubs and Anderson fell behind the Philadelphia Phillies, 4-0, in the first inning. The Phillies chased Anderson with three more in the second and went on to win, 10-2.

Anderson saw his ERA rise from 3.54 to 6.23. Cubs starting pitchers have an ERA of 4.70. What’s more, the Cubs have been outscored 32-18 in the first inning.

The Cubs entered the night, and the month of May, with a record of 13-11.

That had them in first place by one game in the National League Central, but this team can’t escape the shadow of last year’s world-championship club, which started 25-6.

• PENNINGTON

Continued from page 3 four or five years paying for your school and work your butt off and see what happens. That’s exactly what [Pennington] has on his mind.”

Pennington was a three-time Northwest Herald All-Area first-team selection. His teams were 10-4 in the playoffs, with one Class 7A state runner-up finish and another semifinal appearance.

Trojans coach Brad Seaburg talked with Pennington and his family about finding his best option financially and where he could fit athletically.

“If there’s a guy who has the determination to do it, it’s him,” Seaburg said. “He’s got the mental toughness. He’s got the physical toughness. That’s what it’s going to take. I know how he was at Cary-Grove and in this area; he has all the tools to do it. You’re talking about some of the best football players and athletes in the whole country, and arguably the world. Some high, high level football down there. That’s what he’s signing up for.”

Pennington said the Arkansas coaches are looking at him as a linebacker, but he hopes to give them some flexibility as a fullback or longsnapper. He is willing to get on the field in any way possible.

“I just can’t wait,” Pennington said.

“I’m so excited.”

CUBS NOTES

Maddon tries to keep outfielders sharp

By BRUCE MILES

bmiles@dailyherald.com CHICAGO – With the Cubs back home and playing by National League rules after a weekend in Boston, manager Joe Maddon is having a hard time finding playing time for all of his outfielders.

“I do,” Maddon said Monday before the Cubs played the Philadelphia Phillies at Wrigley Field. “Jon Jay right now deserves to play. So does (Albert) Almora. When you had that DH working, it was easier to get almost everybody in there like you wanted to. It’s a nice problem to have.”

Kyle Schwarber was the designated hitter for all three games at Fenway Park against the Red Sox. He was back in Monday’s starting lineup in left field, with Jay in center field.

“I think for the most part we’ve balanced it out pretty good,” Maddon said. “Matty Szczur’s the only guy who has really had to ride the bench more than anybody. And of

course, he does it in such a professional way. But otherwise, everybody’s been involved. I do look at it.

I want to keep everybody in the game.

“When you ask them to play, they need to have played in order to expect good out of them.

Matty is the one guy Jon Jay I’d like to try to figure out a little bit more, but for right now, this seems to fit, the way we’ve been doing it.”

Acquiring the taste: Jay entered Monday with a batting line of .385/.478/.487. He was 15 for 39.

The Cubs signed him to a one-year contract in November. Jay played in two World Series with the Cardinals. Last year, he was with the San Diego Padres.

“I’ve described him as being an acquired taste,” Maddon said.

“I didn’t get him when I first saw him. You watch him from a scout’s perspective, there are certain guys when you walk into the ballpark

and you just see them once or twice, you don’t quite understand where the benefit is. He’s the guy that if you watch for a week straight, you totally get it.

“Seeing him last year with the Padres and before that the Cardinals, especially last year with the Padres, a team that wasn’t that good, just really watching he went about his business, really convinced me how good he is. I love having him here now. Absolutely.”

A good first month: Reliever Carl Edwards Jr. finished April with a record of 1-0, an ERA of 0.00 and a WHIP of 0.60. He has pitched 10 innings over 11 games and given up two hits while walking four and striking out 13.

“Beautiful, man, and he’s young,” Maddon said of the 25-year-old Edwards.

He said it: Maddon admitted he’d like to “adopt” Jay. “That’s just one of those visceral moments,” Maddon said. “If I needed a son or a sidekick, I’d go for Jon Jay, I think.”

WHITE SOX NOTES

Pitching prospect Dunning rises to high Single-A level

By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN

dvanschouwen@suntimes.com

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Of the three pitching prospects acquired for Adam Eaton in the White Sox trade with the Washington Nationals, right-hander Dane Dunning was the least talked about, despite his pedigree as a firstround draft pick in 2016. Lucas Giolito and Reynaldo Lopez had pitched in the majors and, with loftier rankings on top 100 prospects lists, were viewed as the big catches in the deal.

While Giolito (0-3, 6.63 ERA) and Lopez (2-1, 4.10) have pitched with poor to mixed results at Triple-A Charlotte, Dunning has breezed through the competition at Single-A Kannapolis with such ease, allowing one earned run in 26 innings over four starts (0.35 ERA), that he already has been promoted to high Single-A Winston-Salem, for whom he’ll make his first start Tuesday.

To promote their rebuild and the

improved stash of prospects brought about by the Eaton and Chris Sale trades, the Sox have begun naming a minor league player and pitcher of the month.

The first such awards, announced Monday, went to Dunning and prized prospect Yoan Moncada, who came in Dane Dunning the Sale deal.

The 6-foot-4, 200-pound Dunning, 22, possesses a sinking 92 to 93 mph fastball, good slider and changeup and the same command and strike-throwing ability he possessed at the University of Florida his junior year that prompted the Nationals to draft him 29th in 2016.

At Kannapolis, Dunning struck out 33 and walked two in April. He ended the month with a streak of 25 consecutive innings without allowing an earned run, including in that a 13-strikeout performance over eight innings.

Sox Director of Minor League Development Kirk Champion said Dunning’s command, stuff and poise have impressed.

“He has worked fast and worked ahead [in the count],” Champion said.

“A good formula.’’

Dunning is ranked 10th among Sox prospects by MLB.com. Moncada, the top-ranked prospect in all of baseball

by Baseball America and MLB.com, has struck out 30 times in 21 games but stood out with a .314 average, four homers, seven RBIs and an .885 OPS at Charlotte.

Injury updates: Avisail Garcia was out of the lineup a day after he left the game against the Tigers on Sunday with a tight left groin. Garcia, a candidate for American League Player of the Month, was “better” Monday.

“I’m just going to give him another day,’’ manager Rick Renteria said. “It’s a little cool out there today – precaution and another day to get it worked on.’’

James Shields threw on flat ground for the second time since going on the DL with a lat strain. It remains unclear how long the right-hander will be out, but Renteria said Shields’ progress has been “good.’’

“I couldn’t give you a timetable for him, but I know he is getting better,’’ Renteria said. “We’re happy with where he is at.’’

This and that: Center fielder Leury Garcia, designated hitter Matt Davidson, shortstop Tim Anderson and second baseman Tyler Saladino are on AllStar ballots for the first time. Monday was the first day for voting, which will be conducted exclusively online and via mobile devices at MLB.com, team websites and MLB.com apps. ... The Sox had scored 49 runs over the past seven games before Monday, with four 10-plus outputs during that span. They scored 49 in their first 16 games and were limited to three or less 11 times during that span.

• Tuesday, May 2, 2017

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Tim Anderson’s first April in the major leagues is behind him, and aside from a 13-10 team start for the White Sox, he was glad to see it go.

After batting .283 with nine homers in his rookie season and signing a $25 million extension during spring training, Anderson batted .204 with two homers and six RBI in the first month. And while he used his considerable athleticism to make more flashy plays than any Sox on the field, he also muffed more than his share of routine plays.

What gives?

Third base coach Nick Capra, for one, suspects an occasional lack of concentration. And Anderson, for another, doesn’t disagree.

“Definitely something I can learn from,” said Anderson, who dropped a soft liner, bobbled a ground ball and was charged with his sixth error in loss to the Tigers on Sunday.

He also made an outstanding running catch in foul territory.

“Forget the spectacular plays, the mistakes are something I can learn from and get better,” Anderson said before the Sox opened a four-game series against the slumping Royals on Monday at Kauffman Stadium with a 6-1 loss.

“The one was more lack of focus, the

on nine hits including home runs by Jorge Bonifacio and Eric Hosmer, the latter knocking Covey out with two outs in the sixth.

The Sox scored one in the fourth on Jacob May’s RBI single, the struggling rookie’s second hit in 35 at-bats.

Anderson hasn’t struggled in Maylike magnitude, but he expected a better start.

He remains even-keeled.

“There are going to be times when the game gets up on you,” he said. “It’s a humbling game. When you find yourself getting up, it brings you down and brings you on a straight line. You can’t get too high or low.”

At the plate, Anderson knows the league is adjusting to him after he aggressively feasted on fastballs last season.

“From the success I had last year, they’re figuring out who I am,’’ he said.

“They’re using that against me.”

Anderson’s on-base percentage last season was just .306 because he walked all of 13 times. With three walks this year, the on-base percentage is unsatisfactory at .238, especially for one who batting first and second in manager Rick Renteria’s lineup.

Pitchers are “trying to stay out of the zone, so he has to bring them back in,” Renteria said. “Basically focus on that hitting zone he can manage, and then when he gets two strikes, battle.”

Bears don’t owe Glennon explanation VIEWS Rick Morrissey

The only words of comfort and reassurance the Bears need to offer Mike Glennon are the same words they offered him when he joined the team in March: How are you going to spend

the $18.5 million in guaranteed money we’ve given you?

The idea that they have to explain their drafting of quarterback Mitch Trubisky to a guy who has thrown 11 NFL passes since the end of the 2014 season would be laughable if it wasn’t so … no, actually, it is laughable.

That Glennon might be sad, hurt, wounded and/or destroyed is something we’re all going to have to live with.

Somehow. I’d like to think that if we put one foot in front of the other, we’ll eventually get past the pain.

If Glennon had been under the preconception that he was anything but a stopgap until the Bears found their next quarterback of the future, then he and his agent didn’t do their homework. The Bears surely left open the possibility that he might be the long-term answer at quarterback, but they never counted on it. How could they, given his so-so résumé? He’s their starter for 2017, and he should be celebrating. Loads of quarterbacks out there would love a year’s worth of certainty.

The $18.5 million mentioned above answers any concerns that the Bears

the truth this time of year is naïve.

But the Bears were so secretive about the player they wanted that when they swapped places with San Francisco on draft night, the 49ers didn’t even know who general manager Ryan Pace was going to select. Of all the criticism Pace has absorbed since he chose Trubisky, no one has been able to accuse him of being a blabbermouth.

His lips were zipped for everyone, not just Glennon.

I hope we’re making too much of Glennon’s feelings. But if we aren’t, if he is hurt, he needs to get past it soon.

Sulking doesn’t accomplish much, and it’s bad for your posture.

Pace eventually will have to decide who is going to teach Trubisky how AP photo to be an NFL quarterback.

Pace makes rounds on radio, TV to explain draft moves

By PATRICK FINLEY

pfinley@suntimes.com

After making the biggest deal of his life last week, Bears general manager Ryan Pace went about selling it to the public Monday, appearing on national and local radio shows to explain his trade of four draft picks to move up one spot and draft Mitch Trubisky.

“You’re never going to be great in this league if you don’t have this position right, and so that was a commitment for us this offseason: to improve that position,” he told ESPN Radio’s Mike & Mike. “And, quite honestly, it’s been way too long since this franchise has been in that position: to get good consistent play from the quarterback.”

Some criticized Pace’s moves Thursday: He drafted a quarterback after paying Mike Glennon $16 million

to start this year and gave up a thirdround pick, fourth-rounder and a third next year to move up.

Not even the 49ers – who made the trade with Pace – were sure what he was up to.

According to The MMQB, which was embedded with the 49ers, GM John Lynch thought the Bears were trading up to draft Stanford defensive lineman Solomon Thomas. When chief strategy officer Paraag Marathe suggested they’d take Trubisky, Lynch replied: “Then why did they go get Glennon?”

Pace defended his move-up trade by saying he assumed teams were in contact with the 49ers because they’d made the same calls to the Bears to move up.

Pace said he and coach John Fox were in lockstep about the pick – “I always have his back, he has my back.

We’re arm-in-arm,” he told ESPN – despite a national report saying otherwise.

As for his relationship with Glennon, Pace reiterated to WSCR-AM what Fox said Saturday: that players are typically angered when a team drafts someone who plays their position.

Howard visits Bears: The Bears didn’t draft a defensive end, but they might end up getting a starter after all.

Former Chiefs defensive lineman Jaye Howard, 28, visited Halas Hall on Monday, a source confirmed. One year removed from being a hot free agent, Howard would be an intriguing option alongside Eddie Goldman and Akiem Hicks.

The 6-foot-3, 301-pounder played in eight games last year, starting five, before finishing the season on injured reserve with a hip flexor injury.

Long improving: Guard Kyle Long has gained 45 pounds in less than three months as he continues to rehab from right ankle surgery and a bad reaction to medication.

Long Tweeted that he is up to 310 pounds from 265 in mid-February and wants to settle in around 325.

This and that: One sign of the Bears’ mass signing of cornerbacks: Monday, they waived two. Jacoby Glenn started three games and had an interception, while De’Vante Bausby played four games. They cut four others: running backs Bralon Addison and David Cobb, wide receiver Dres Anderson and tight end Justin Perillo. ... Center/guard Taylor Boggs signed with the Bears. He played for them from 2013 to ’14 before joining the Lions, where he played for new Bears offensive line coach Jeremiah Washburn.

PITTSBURGH – Kevin Shattenkirk scored 3:13 into overtime and the Washington Capitals overcame a late collapse in regulation to beat the Pittsburgh Penguins, 3-2, Monday night in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference semifinals.

Washington drew within 2-1 in the series when Shattenkirk’s shot from the point zipped by Marc-Andre Fleury’s blocker.

Smith-Blixt team wins PGA’s Zurich Classic on 4th playoff hole

AVONDALE, La. – The team of Cameron Smith and Jonas Blixt won the Zurich Classic on the fourth playoff hole Monday, capturing a new-format tournament that had been held over a day because of darkness.

Smith hit a 58-yard approach shot within 3½ feet of the pin, and the Aussie sank a birdie putt on the par-5 18th hole to give himself and his Swedish teammate the victory. Smith and Blixt could have won on earlier playoff holes but missed short birdie putts.

For the 23-year-old Smith, this was his first PGA Tour victory.

8 HORSE RACING: KENTUCKY DERBY

Five horses to watch in 143rd Derby

By BETH HARRIS

and neither has jockey Julien Leparoux.

His sire, Pioneerof the Nile, was second in the 2009 Derby and he also sired 2015 Triple Crown champion American Pharoah.

The Associated Press The Kentucky Derby is up for grabs.

The starting gate again will be full with 20 horses vying to wear the garland of red roses.

Most of the 3-year-olds will be running 11/4 miles for the first time Saturday in Louisville. Besides the distance, the traffic-choked conditions typically eliminate half the field in the opening quarter-mile.

Here are five horses to watch:

ALWAYS DREAMING

Appears to be coming into his own after impressive five-length win in Florida Derby. Always Dreaming has the potential to be the first Derby favorite for trainer Todd Pletcher, who will have two other starters in the race.

The dark bay colt prefers to run at the lead or close to it. His sire, Bodemeister, finished second in the 2012 Derby. He has three wins in five career starts and earnings of $648,900. Pletcher and jockey John Velazquez have one Derby win apiece. The main knock against the colt is that his two wins as a 3-year-old have come against lesser competition.

GIRVIN

The colt topped the Derby leaderboard with 152 points earned in prep races. But the Louisiana Derby winner has a crack in his right front hoof that has compromised his training in the past week. Trainer Joe Sharp has used AP photo a special shoe, a hyperbaric chamber Kentucky Derby hopeful Always Dreaming and therapeutic waters to get Girvin in works out under jockey John Velazquez on shape to run Saturday. Sharp is married Friday at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Ky. to retired jockey Rosie Napravnik, who exercises the colt and is her husband’s assistant. Girvin has won three of four CLASSIC EMPIRE starts, with his only loss on turf. His The colt won last year’s Breeders’ jockey is Hall of Famer Mike Smith, Cup Juvenile on his way to earning 2-year-old male champion honors. Then who has a reputation for winning big-money races. again, only three other colts have won year-end honors since 2000 and gone GUNNEVERA on to win the Derby the next season.

The chestnut colt is a closer ready Classic Empire has the highest earnings to pounce if he gets set up by a strong of $2.1 million among the horses exearly pace. His earnings of $1.1 million pected to make the field, with five wins are second-most on the Derby leaderin seven career starts. He’s coming off board.

kidnappings in his native Venezuela before moving to Miami. Jockey Javier Castellano, also from Venezuela, was just elected to racing’s Hall of Fame and in search of his first Derby win. His best finish was fourth in 2013. The colt has four wins in nine starts and finished third in the Florida Derby. His sire, Dialed In, won the 2011 Florida Derby and finished eighth in the Kentucky Derby.

IRISH WAR CRY

Had solid victories in Holy Bull and Wood Memorial, making it seem like the Fountain of Youth was an off day for him. The colt is a son of two-time Horse of the Year Curlin, who finished third in the 2007 Derby. Has four wins in five career starts. The chestnut colt likes to press the pace. No New Jersey-bred horse has won the Derby since Cavalcade in 1934, and none has run in the race since Dance Floor took third in 1992. Owner Isabelle de Tomaso, who is in her 80s, is the daughter of Amory Haskell, for whom the Haskell Invitational at Monmouth Park is named. Tomaso was a race car driver in the 1950s.

Trainer Graham Motion won the Derby with Animal Kingdom in 2011; jockey Rajiv Maragh has never won it.

NBA PLAYOFFS ROUNDUP

Rockets rout Spurs with barrage of 3s; Cavs cruise The ASSOCIATED PRESS SAN ANTONIO – Trevor Ariza scored 23 points, James Harden added 20 points and 14 rebounds, and the Houston Rockets stormed past San Antonio, 126-99, Monday night in Game 1 of the Western Conference semifinals, the Spurs’ worst loss in a series opener under Gregg Popovich.

The Rockets were 22 for 50 on 3-pointers, the most 3s attempted and made against the Spurs in their long postseason history.

Houston had six players in double figures, including 20 points and 13 rebounds from Clint Capela.

Game 2 is Wednesday in San Antonio.

Houston led by as many as 39 points, including a 30-point lead in the first half, in the opener of the first series between the rivals since the Rockets’ victory in the 1995 Western Conference finals.

Cavaliers 116, Raptors 105: At Cleve-

land, LeBron James considered swigging a beer while scoring 35 points, Kyrie Irving added 24 and the Cleveland Cavaliers picked up where they left off after a long layoff and throttled Toronto in the opener of their Eastern Conference semifinal.

The Cavs hadn’t played since April 23, when they completed a four-game sweep of Indiana. But the defending champions didn’t show signs of rust and were well-prepared to face the revenge-seeking Raptors, who lost to Cleveland in last year’s conference finals.

Toronto dropped to 1-12 in playoff openers.

Game 2 is Wednesday in Cleveland.

After drawing a foul on a missed layup, James playfully hopped toward the sideline, where a courtside server was passing by. The three-time champion reached and grabbed a beer bottle from her tray and brought it toward his lips before putting it back.

New Johns Hopkins study shows hearing loss more prevalent and linked to dementia Have you ever avoided a social gathering because you were afraid of feeling lost in the conversation?

Have you felt exhausted after straining to hear in a difficult listening situation, and kept away from people for a while afterward? If so, you may be experiencing the social isolation common to hearing loss and recently identified as a possible factor in the development of dementia.

“Researchers have looked at what affects hearing loss, but few have looked at how hearing loss affects cognitive brain function,” says study leader Frank Lin, M.D., Ph.D., assistant professor in the Division of Otology at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.

Lin and his team used studied over 600 volunteers whose hearing and cognitive abilities were tested as part of a long-term multidimensional study called the Baltimore Longitudinal Study on Aging (BLSA) established in 1958. About a quarter of the volunteers had hearing loss at the start of the study, but none of them had dementia.

Participants were closely followed with repeat exams every year or two for nearly 20 years.

Researchers found that those who had hearing loss at the beginning of the study were significantly more likely to develop dementia by the end. Of those participants who started with hearing loss, 36% developed dementia over the course of the study.

Download the full study at www.accuquest.com/dementia

“Compared to individuals with normal hearing, those individuals with a mild, moderate, and severe hearing loss, respectively, had a respective 2, 3 and 5 fold increased risk of developing dementia over the course of the study,” reports Dr. Lin. In a separate study, Johns Hopkins reported that the hearing loss rate in older adults has climbed to more than 60 percent in a national survey.

“A lot of people ignore hearing loss because it’s such a slow and insidious process as we age,” Lin says. “Even if people feel as if they are not affected, we’re showing that it may well be a more serious problem.”

Further research is needed to determine the exact reasons why dementia and hearing loss are connected. However, one possibility proposed in the study is that dementia may result in part from the social isolation inherent in hearing loss, which is a known risk factor for this and other cognitive disorders.

I don’t mean to scare you, but this study scared me.

At the very least, it confirms the need to maintain your hearing health. Hearing loss can happen so gradually it is hard to detect on your own. Regular hearing checks can help you identify loss early, and early is the key. If caught in time, intervention—like hearing aids—may help to delay or even prevent cognitive difficulties.

Perhaps more to the point, hearing aids can help

you hear and understand the conversations that matter most to you right now. Hearing aids have come a long way in the last few years. These modern devices are so discreet you won’t need to worry about what others might think. They’ll only know that you’re hearing and understanding better.

State of the art technology also allows hearing aids to do more than ever before. Advanced feedback cancelation and speech preservation features are designed to provide a more natural listening experience and better comprehension. Most models also come with multiple channels that you can program for specific listening environments. So, if you eat out a lot, you can program your hearing aids with settings that will help reduce the background noise and focus on conversations in front of you.

The bottom line is this: hearing aids can help to prevent hearing loss from robbing you of the things you value most—your connection to those you love.

Please take steps to make sure your hearing is in good health. Make an appointment with a qualified hearing professional today.
