Chicago shooting prompts push to better arm officers

By DON BABWIN

The Associated Press CHICAGO – The shooting of two plainclothes officers with a high-powered rifle this week was a chilling reminder of something Chicago police have long said: They are outgunned by the city’s gangs.

Now, four aldermen who are all former Chicago police officers are pushing to get as many officers trained in using high-powered long guns as quickly as possible to protect themselves from gang members who are favoring these weapons more and more.

“We are now seeing a big push on the street of gang members carrying semi-automatic weapons and high-powered assault rifles and using them in the commission of crimes, shooting police officers and one another as well,” Alderman Christopher Taliaferro said.

This is particularly true, police say, in the Back of the Yards neighborhood on the city’s South Side, where the two officers were shot and wounded Tuesday. Occupants in two vehicles opened fire on the officers who were sitting in an unmarked vehicle. No arrests have been made.

“We have been investigating increased sightings or use of AR-15s, or assault rifles, in the conflict between two rival gangs in that area,” police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said.

One officer was shot in the arm and hip and the other in the back. They have been released

from the hospital.

They were conducting a follow-up investigation to a previous incident and were wearing civilian clothes with vests bearing police badges.

More than a dozen bullets were recovered from the scene of Tuesday’s shooting.

The aldermen said Chicago officers are now allowed to carry semi-automatic long guns if they are trained and certified, but there aren’t enough instructors.

“My brother is a Chicago police officer, he was trained (to use these weapons) in the Marines and it still took him 2½ years to get certified,” Alderman Anthony Napolitano said. “His partner did two tours of duty in Iraq, he was a colonel, and he’s been waiting at least a year to get certified.”

Under the plan that Taliaferro, Napolitano, Edward Burke and Willie Cochran expect to pitch to the rest of the City Council soon, the city would authorize money to hire retired Chicago police officers or retired federal agents who are certified to give the necessary training.

Napolitano said it is unclear how much money the effort will take. He said he believes there may be close to 1,000 officers who have put in for the training and are just waiting for their turn.

But he suspects there are many more who have not done so because the wait is so long.

“I guarantee you that if we do this, the number (of officers who put in for training and certification) will double if not triple,” he said.

MAN FACING CHARGES IN HEROIN BUST

7.6 pounds of drug worth $692K seized from CL apartment

By JORDYN REILAND

jreiland@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – A Crystal Lake man is facing felony drug charges after McHenry County Sheriff’s deputies seized about 7.6 pounds of heroin worth $692,400 from his apartment in what likely is the largest bust of its kind in county history.

Roman Castro, 47, of the 600 block of Virginia Road, was arrested Tuesday by members of the McHenry County Sheriff’s Police Narcotics Task Force and charged with unlawful delivery of a controlled substance, a Class X felony, and unlawful possession of a conRoman trolled substance, a Castro Class 1 felony.

Detectives had received information that Castro was holding a large amount of heroin. Authorities said the gray-white substance was inside a black backpack in Castro’s apartment. They also recovered two scales and packaging materials. No money was taken from Castro’s residence, authorities said.

If convicted, Castro faces at least 15 and up to 60 years in prison on the Class X felony charge. He would be required to serve 75 percent of his sentence, according to state law.

Castro appeared in rights court Wednesday morning, where his bond was set at $2 million. A judge appointed a public defender to represent Castro because he couldn’t afford to hire a private attorney, according to court records.

The judge also granted a motion from prosecutors stating no one would be allowed to post bond for

Castro before a hearing was held to determine where the money came from. Funds tied to drug trafficking or some other criminal or illegal source cannot be used to post bond.

Castro has lived in Crystal Lake for the past five years. He earns $500 a week at a plumbing company in Lake

County and owns a 2006 Honda Odyssey, according to court documents.

He is set to appear before Judge Sharon Prather on Tuesday.

“Everyone in law enforcement agencies agrees that heroin and heroin derivatives have become a plague in our communities,” McHenry

County Sheriff Bill Prim said.

Don Carlson, McHenry County Sheriff’s deputy chief of operations, said it’s difficult to determine the purity of the drug without sending samples for testing.

Two U.S. representatives who represent portions of McHenry County voted for the American Health Care Act, which would replace the Affordable Care Act. Randy Hultgren, R-Plano, and Peter Roskam, R-Wheaton, both supported the bill, which passed in the House on Thursday by a 217-213 vote.

Republicans won passage only after overcoming their own divisions that nearly sank the measure six weeks ago. The bill now faces an uncertain fate in the Senate, where even Rep. Randy GOP lawmakers say major Hultgren changes are likely.

2010 enactment, and this year – with Donald Trump in the White House and in full control of Congress – is their first real chance to deliver. But polls have shown a public distaste for the repeal effort and a gain in popularity for Obama’s statute, and Democrats – solidly opposing the bill – said Republicans would pay a price in next year’s congressional elections.

The American Health Care Act “responsibly repeals and replaces Obamacare,” Roskam said in a news release.

“Obamacare has already failed – if we do nothing, insurers will continue to exit the marketplace and millions of people will lose coverage,” Roskam said in the release.

The American Health Care Act provides generous tax credits to people who

Hannah Beardsley students win annual scholastic bowl

nlinhart@shawmedia.com MARENGO – There were few trivia questions Hannah Beardsley Middle School students couldn’t answer Thursday. When faced with a final question in math, even though the team “passed,” it already had enough points to secure the victory.

“We only had a couple questions that we really didn’t know. It shows how much we’ve learned over the years and how much we’ve retained,” said Beardsley team captain Wyatt Wren, whose team won the countywide scholastic bowl.

Students from 15 McHenry County-area schools tested their knowledge in math, language arts, science and social studies for the 30th annual scholastic bowl Thursday at Marengo Middle School. Each school was represented by a team of six students with two substitutes allowed.

After competing in four rounds of increasing difficulties, the Hannah Beardsley team took home the first-place trophy by earning 110 points. Cary Junior

hprokop@shawmedia.com CARY – A new Village Board has been seated in Cary after close races for mayor and trustee positions.

Newcomer Trustees Christine Betz and Jennifer Weinhammer were sworn in at Tuesday’s Village Board meeting, along with incumbent Trustee Jeff Kraus and incumbent Mayor Mark Kownick.

“I would like to see positive interaction with the board [and] the comMark munity, and that we all Kownick work collaboratively together,” Betz said regarding changes she’d like to see on the board.

The previous Cary Village Board has been split on controversial items such as the new agreement with Meyer Material Co. and an affordable housing project for seniors on Three Oaks Road. In

both cases, Trustees David Chapman, Rick Dudek, Ellen McAlpine and Kownick voted “yes,” while Trustees Jim Cosler, Kim Covelli and Kraus voted “no.”

The dynamic on the board could change now that Dudek and Chapman are out.

Betz ran on a slate supporting Kownick, while Weinhammer ran on a slate supporting Cosler, who lost by a slim margin in the mayoral race.

“I am looking forward to listening to all residents and working with them on

their vision for Cary and any concerns they may have,” Weinhammer said in a statement. “My goal is to listen from all sides and be a voice for the community.”

At Tuesday’s meeting, Kownick took time to thank four-year veteran trustee Chapman and 10-year-veteran Dudek for their “instrumental” Christine work in the village.

Betz Kownick recognized Chapman as the village’s “environmentalist,” who helped the village enhance its green initiatives.

Dudek was the village’s “financial watchJeff dog,” and brought his Kraus knowledge of the village’s history to the board, Kownick said.

Chapman will be joining the Algonquin Township Board.

Roskam and Hultgren also highlighted that pre-existing conditions would be protected under the American Health Care Act, and that the House also passed H.R. 2192, which means Congress and staff would be subject to the same rules as everyone else.

“This bill is not the final product – it is not law,” Hultgren said in his statement. “It is simply one solution that offers a way out of the restrictive, costly and unsustainable ACA and moves deliberations to the Senate for consideration. I have faith that the Senate will keep their eyes on what matters most for residents of Illinois, including improving access to affordable coverage and high-quality care regardless of health status, income or age.”

City Council gives OK for tattoo parlor

By KEVIN P. CRAVER

kcraver@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – A local tattoo artist who wants to open a “high-end, premium” tattoo parlor got an enthusiastic green light from the City Council.

Council members voted, 6-0, to grant Taylor Kuhlman the special use permit needed to open Monster Ink Tattoo & Piercing in a strip mall at 1520 Carlemont Drive. Several area business owners had raised objections to the Planning and Zoning Commission over the matter – commission members last month recommended approval on a 6-0 vote.

But objectors, if they were present at Tuesday’s meeting, did not speak. Supporters of Kuhlman did attend, but the council, like the zoning commission before them, did not need much swaying.

Kuhlman, a lifelong city resident and 2005 graduate of Prairie Ridge High School, plans to have five tattoo stations and one piercing station in the 1,200-square-foot office. He has been a

tattoo artist for the past 3½ years at Area 51 Tattoo in the city’s downtown.

Three neighboring businesses – a dance supply retail store, an insurance agency and a logistics company – objected to the city, alleging that a tattoo parlor would not be a good fit for the area.

Kuhlman’s wife, Brenna, disagreed with the idea that the business would not fit in, telling council members that “times have changed” and that tattoos are now widely accepted as a part of our culture.

Council members agreed. Members Ellen Brady Mueller and Ralph Dawson said that tattoos are much more mainstream than they were in the past. Brady Mueller, citing Wisconsin Dells water parks, and Dawson, citing the beach at Three Oaks Recreation Area, said more people these days have tattoos than don’t.

Brady Mueller joked that even Dawson, 87, has one.

“If it’s OK for Ralph, it’s OK for everyone,” she said.

Ever find yourself watching a ballgame on TV and admiring the beautiful, lush green grass and then looking into your backyard and wondering, “Why can’t my lawn be as beautiful?”

By following some lawn care tips, your lawn may not become Major League worthy, but it should earn your satisfaction as well as impress the neighbors.

Many homeowners simply do not know how to treat their lawn. Don’t worry because there are experts at Bjorkman’s Ace Hardware that can advise you with what treatment to use to fix your weed problems. Now’s the time to apply a weed prevention treatment as the weeds are growing. You’ll want to use one that keeps the weeds from growing and also fertilizes the grass so it grows strong.

If your lawn already has weed problems, you can purchase a post-emergen herbicide from Ace, which kills already existing weeds.

When you go in for a haircut you don’t get it all shaved off just to delay your next haircut and save time and money, do you? Unfortunately, many homeowners take that approach when it comestomowing.Theylowerthemowerandcut it way too short and stress out the grass. Instead, you should raise it to the highest possible notch, shave off only about the top third of the grass and promote root development.

It’s been a rainy spring but lawns always can use a good weekly soaking so monitor how much water your lawn is getting. Ace has a variety of watering tools that can make this chore an easy one.

There may also come a time when your lawn gets too compacted, denying nutrients to find the roots. An aeration, which is the poking of holes through the lawn, improves oxygen circulation and allows your lawn to breathe and grow optimally.

For household tools, supplies and more, visit Bjorkman’s Ace Hardware, 4520 W. Crystal Lake Rd., McHenry. (815) 385-3660. www.acehardware.com

Spring Grove Fire Protection District Battalion Chief Daniel Illges said crews responded about 5:20 p.m. to the 200 block of Baron Drive.

The fire started in the attic of a single-family residence and spread to the room under the attic, Illges said. The damage is estimated at about $50,000, Illges said.

No one was injured in the fire, Illges said. Fire crews from Richmond, McHenry, Wonder Lake, Hebron, Fox Lake and Antioch also responded, he said.

A CLOSER LOOK | Northwest Herald / NWHerald.com

Don Carlson

McHenry County Sheriff’s deputy chief of operations Sgt. Mike Muraski previously told the Northwest Herald that a July 2016 bust – where police recovered about 180 grams of heroin worth $36,000 from a McHenry residence – was the largest amount of heroin seized at one time by the department alone.

In addition to the drugs, deputies recovered two scales, packaging materials and $963 from Brian Freund’s home.

While out on bond, Freund was accused of selling heroin again.

He remains in McHenry County Jail custody and faces up to 40 years in prison on the most serious charge against him.

Heroin often is mixed with other things, and there is more than one type, which makes it difficult to determine what’s in the drug right away, he said.

Carlson said that although heroin use is prevalent in the community, large arrests such as this one are not the norm.

“Heroin is an extremely addictive drug and difficult to get away from,” he said. “It’s imperative that people seek help or pay attention to family members who are known to have an addiction to opiates.”

It’s not clear whether the heroin was meant for local distribution or bound for another market. Carlson said he couldn’t disclose that information.

Castro’s attorney, Assistant Public Defender Rick Behof, could not immediately be reached for comment.

Crystal Lake Deputy Chief Derek Hyrkas said the department was aware of the bust but was not involved, and therefore he declined to comment on the matter.

HOROSCOPE

By EUGENIA LAST

Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – Ask questions and get answers. Educational pursuits, communication and sharing thoughts and feelings with people who count will set the stage for a pretty decent year. Trust yourself and your beliefs and congregate with people who agree with your ideals and aims.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Make time for fun.

Get involved in a challenge that will encourage you to mix intelligence with physical power to reach your goal. A short trip looks promising.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – You’ll encounter an emotional setback if you are too quick to judge or act on information that hasn’t been verified. Take a breather and observe rather than

participate.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Make special plans and surprise someone you love. Don’t be afraid to do something different. A retreat or day at the spa looks welcoming. Let your actions speak for you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – A joint venture may not be as good as you are led to believe. Take a second look, and, instead of getting angry, move on to a bigger and better offer. Create opportunities.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Emotional disillusionment will kick in if you rely on someone untrustworthy. Take care of your responsibilities personally to avoid being put in a compromising position.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – You’ll be faced with

someone who tells you one thing and means another. If you have doubts about the information you are receiving, say so, and if your questions aren’t welcome, back away.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Make plans that will bring you closer to a loved one. Share your feelings and consider alternative lifestyles or living arrangements that will encourage equality as well as diversity.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Don’t give in to unrealistic demands. Take care of your responsibilities without question, but don’t allow anyone to guilt you into taking on a burden that doesn’t belong to you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Follow your gut feeling regarding legal, contractual or financial dealings. Know who and what you are up against

before you get involved. Play it safe and avoid disappointment and anger.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Figure out exactly what’s going on at home or with a partner before you make a change or decision that can disrupt your relationship or alter the way you live.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – You’ll get the wrong impression if you don’t ask questions.

Someone will send you mixed messages that can influence the way you do your job or act around your peers.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Don’t let someone from your past interfere in your life. Anger and charged emotions can lead to disaster if you can’t stand up for yourself. Do what’s in your best interest.

STATE

Officials warn of floodwater risks Rivers at record levels in parts of Midwest

dreds of people have been forced from their homes across the region.

River levels are mostly falling except for a few spots on the Missouri River and Mississippi River, although damage along those big rivers will be minimized by flood buyouts over the past two decades. But people living along smaller rivers – such as the Meramec in suburban St. Louis and the Black River, which cuts through southeast Missouri and northeast Arkansas – are dreading what they’ll find.

Authorities are urging caution: Damaged buildings can pose hazards,

such as electrical shock, while wildlife displaced by flooding – such as snakes, turtles and deer – could be lurking in and around homes. Health officials said floodwater contains raw sewage, chemicals and other potentially toxic items. They said children and pets should be kept out of the water.

In Valley Park, about 20 miles east of Pacific, the Meramec has dropped sharply since cresting just short of an all-time record. The lower part of the town was evacuated Monday amid worries a nearby levee wouldn’t hold.

The soaked levee did hold, and Mayor Michael Pennise said Thursday that residents could return starting at 8 a.m. Friday.

St. Louis-area residents also got good news Thursday when westbound lanes of Interstate 44 reopened after a two-day shutdown. Officials were hopeful water would recede enough for eastbound lanes to open before Friday morning rush hour.

In northeast Arkansas, about 50 homes in Randolph County were destroyed or badly damaged when the Black River reached record levels.

More than 100 National Guard members were dispatched after at least nine breaches were reported along a levee near the town of Pocahontas, where some residents were evacuated.

A mudslide in southwest Illinois badly damaged a home and closed a road in Caseyville, near St. Louis.

And in Cape Girardeau, Missouri, Southeast Missouri State University football players joined other volunteers filling sandbags to protect homes outside the floodwall that guards most of the city.

Travel was restricted on and near parts of the Mississippi River, including a 14.5-mile stretch of the river at St. Louis that was closed to barges and other vessels because of high, swift current.

The warmest recorded temperature in April was in Kaskaskia, where it hit 89 degrees April 20. The lowest temperature was 19 degrees, recorded April 10 in Morrison.

If ratified, the agreement will cover 10,000 SEIU members at 103 nursing homes belonging to the Illinois Association of Health Care Facilities.

The ASSOCIATED PRESS ST. LOUIS – Joseph Fiorilli is ready to go home, even though most everything he left behind when the flooded Meramec River inundated his eastern Missouri home will be a soggy, stinky mess.

Fiorilli, his wife and their two dogs were forced to quickly leave when heavy rains pushed the river to near-record levels, about 18 feet above flood stage in Pacific, about 40 miles west of St. Louis.

Although water levels have dropped, Fiorilli’s home in a fourunit apartment remains underwater.

He expects to find his furniture, TV, laptop and most everything else they left behind ruined.

“Fortunately these are all replaceable things,” the 50-year-old Fiorilli said. Still, he added, “it’s really scary.”

Thunderstorms that started last weekend caused flooding and pushed many rivers to record levels in Missouri, Arkansas and neighboring states. Five deaths have been blamed on the floods in Missouri, while hun-

News from across the state Illinois sees 2nd-wettest April, warmest start to year

CHAMPAIGN – Illinois saw an average statewide precipitation of slightly more than 7 inches last month, making it the second-wettest April on record.

January through April also was the warmest on record, with an average temperature of 44.5 degrees. That’s 5.4 degrees above normal.

Jim Angel is the state climatologist with the Illinois State Water Survey at the University of Illinois. He said April’s statewide average precipitation was 3.23 inches above normal. The largest amount fell in Carbondale, which saw 14.41 inches. Other southern Illinois cities saw similar numbers.

St. Louis Post-Dispatch via AP

Two rental houses are underwater next to the Meramec River on Wednesday in Fenton, Mo. Heavy rains have swollen many rivers to record levels in parts of Missouri, Illinois, Oklahoma and Arkansas.

Tentative deal averts strike by nursing home workers

CHICAGO – A tentative contract agreement has averted a strike planned by thousands of Illinois nursing home workers.

More than 5,000 workers at Chicago, Rockford and Springfield facilities planned a Thursday strike. But Service Employees International Union Healthcare Illinois officials said an agreement was reached on a three-year deal late Wednesday.

The union’s chief negotiator Larry Alcoff said the tentative agreement includes wage increases of up to 40 percent and staffing provisions to adjust work requirements. He said the contract also will address concerns over immigrant workers’ rights.

Poshard resigns as leader of Morthland College

WEST FRANKFORT – Former congressman and Southern Illinois University President Glenn Poshard has resigned as president of a private Christian liberal arts college after just more than two months on the job.

The (Carbondale) Southern Illinoisan reported Poshard resigned from Morthland College in West Frankfort in an April 26 letter, effective immediately.

Poshard said there were “serious issues – both personnel and financial – of which I was not notified when I began as president.” But school marketing director Leigh Caldwell said Poshard told the college he “resigned for health reasons.” She said the college’s founder Tim Morthland will return as president.

Vietnam War casualty honored with park

BOURBONNAIS – Bourbonnais village officials have dedicated a memorial park for a U.S. Marine who died in the Vietnam War. The village and Olivet Nazarene University dedicated the park to Marine 1st Lt. Wayne Michael Hayes .

Hayes was the first and possibly only Olivet Nazarene student to die in Vietnam.

Hayes was killed July 6, 1967, in a battle defending a South Vietnamese village. The lieutenant had just been put in charge of the five-tank company.

Hayes led a three-tank formation into a firefight with the North Vietnamese. He took the top-of-the-tank mounted gun and was hit by what was a rocket-propelled grenade or anti-tank shell.

Hayes’ spot is called Freedom Garden.

It is just south of the electronic sign that honors all area veterans.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS Senate sends $1.1T spending bill to Trump

WASHINGTON – The Senate has delivered to President Donald Trump the first significant legislation of his presidency, a bipartisan $1.1 trillion spending bill that would keep the government running through September – putting off, for now, battles over Trump’s U.S.-Mexico border wall and his promised military buildup.

The lopsided, 79-18 Senate vote sends the huge bill to the White House in plenty of time to avert a midnight Friday shutdown deadline.

Negotiators on the bill dropped Trump’s demands for a down payment on his oft-promised wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, but his signature would buy five months of funding stability while lawmakers argue over the wall and over Trump’s demands for a huge military buildup matched by cuts to popular domestic programs and foreign aid accounts.

Rumors surround Justice Kennedy exit

WASHINGTON – As one justice settles into his new job at the Supreme Court, is another about to leave? Eighty-year-old Justice Anthony Kennedy is so far refusing to comment on speculation that he might soon retire after 29 years on the court.

But that hasn’t stopped President Donald Trump and,

obliquely, the Republican senator in charge of high court confirmation hearings from weighing in on the prospect that Kennedy could step down as soon as this spring or summer. If not this year, several former law clerks said they would not be surprised to see the justice retire in 2018.

“I’ve heard the same rumors that a lot of people have heard.

And I have a lot of respect for that gentleman, a lot,” Trump told The Washington Times in an interview published Sunday.

Army offers $5K bonus to troops who train others

FORT BRAGG, N.C. – The U.S. Army is authorizing $5,000 bonuses to woo top-performing troops into a new training brigade as the service once famous for shouldering the burden of America’s wars works to meet the growing demand for advisers in places ranging from Iraq and Syria to Afghanistan and Africa.

The plan recognizes the new reality of America at war: Army soldiers are more often training and building local security forces rather than doing the fighting for them on foreign soil. It replaces what has been a hodgepodge of programs over the past dozen years with projections for five new, permanent, fully trained brigades that can be deployed around the world as professional advisers.

House GOP votes to repeal ‘Obamacare’ The ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON – Delivering at last, triumphant House Republicans voted Thursday to repeal and replace the “Obamacare” health plan they have reviled for so long, overcoming united Democratic opposition and their own deep divisions to hand a major win to President Donald Trump.

The 217-213 vote was a narrow victory, and ultimate success is far from assured since the measure still must make its way through a highly skeptical Senate.

But after seven years of campaign promises and dozens of show votes, Republicans finally succeeded in passing a health care bill that has a chance of becoming law.

They weren’t waiting for final passage to celebrate.

“What a great group of people!” Trump exclaimed at the White House, arms raised to salute the dozens of lawmakers who hurried to join him in the Rose Garden immediately after the vote.

Set aside for the moment were the feuds and philosophical divides that nearly sank the bill time and again.

And at the same time, the Republicans had begun to show that perhaps they can come together and govern the country now that they control Washington in full.

“Make no mistake, this is a repeal and a replace of Obamacare, make no mistake about it,” Trump declared. “Premiums will be coming down, deductibles will be coming down, but very importantly, it’s a great plan.”

Democrats countered that the GOP bill would have the opposite effect from what Trump predicted, pointing to estimates it will kick millions off the insurance roles while imperiling coverage

They also forecast that Republicans will pay a steep political price for passing legislation that’s polled poorly and takes concrete benefits away while offering only promises of more choices and lower costs.

“You will glow in the dark on this one,” House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi dramatically warned, predicting Republicans will be radioactive with voters in the 2018 midterm elections.

Indeed, Democrats seemed practically giddy as the vote closed on the House floor, jeering at Republicans with chants of “nah, nah, nah, nah, hey, hey, goodbye” – an echo of how protesters serenaded Democrats seven years ago when they passed Obama’s bill.

The GOP health bill would eliminate the fines Obama’s law imposed on people who don’t buy coverage, and erase tax increases in the Affordable Care Act on higher-earning people and the health industry.

It would cut the Medicaid program for low-income people and let states impose work requirements on Medicaid recipients.

It would transform Obama’s subsidies for millions buying insurance, now based largely on their incomes, making the funding skimpier and tying it to consumers’ ages.

And states could get federal waivers freeing insurers from other Obama coverage requirements. With waivers, insurers could charge people with pre-existing illnesses far higher rates than healthy customers, boost prices for older people to whatever they wish, and ignore a mandate that they cover specified services such as pregnancy care.

The bill would block federal payments to Planned Parenthood for a year, considered a triumph by many anti-abortion Republicans.

The Congressional Budget Office estimated in March that the GOP bill would end coverage for 24 million people over a decade. The House voted without a CBO estimate for the latest version of their bill.

Trump eases ban on church political activity The ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON – Declaring he was giving churches their “voices back,” President Donald Trump signed an executive order Thursday aimed at easing an IRS rule limiting political activity for religious organizations – a move that fell far short of a more sweeping order some supporters had expected.

As he marked the National Day of Prayer on Thursday at the White House, Trump signed the order on religious freedom, which directs the Treasury Department to not take “adverse action” over churches or religious organizations for political speech. The rule has rarely been enforced. Still, opponents said the restrictions have a chilling effect on free speech.

“This financial threat against the faith community is over,” Trump said. He has long promised the conservative Christian supporters who helped him win the White House that he would block the regulation, known as the Johnson Amendment, although any repeal would have to be done by Congress.

President Donald Trump holds up a signed executive order aimed at easing an IRS rule limiting political activity for churches Thursday in the Rose Garden of the White House.

Sen. Lyndon Johnson, was put into force in 1954. The policy allows a wide range of advocacy on political issues, but in the case of houses of worship, it bars electioneering and outright political endorsements from the pulpit.

The IRS does not make public its

investigations of such cases, but only one church is known to have lost its tax-exempt status as a result of the prohibition.

Trump’s order also asks federal agencies to consider issuing new regulations that the White House said could help religious groups that ob-

ject to paying for contraception under the Affordable Care Act health law. And it asks the attorney general to issue guidance on federal religious liberty protections.

The order did not match a broader, much more detailed draft leaked earlier this year that included provisions on conscience protection for faith-based ministries, schools and federal workers across an array of agencies. Robin Fretwell Wilson, a legal scholar who advises legislators on balancing LGBT rights and religious liberty, said the language in the document was so vague, it was unclear what effect it would have.

“I’m not seeing a lot more shield around people of faith from this,” said Wilson, a professor at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

Leaders of some faith groups condemned the order, saying it would damage congregations by politicizing them. But the American Civil Liberties Union announced late Thursday it had dropped its initial plan to file a lawsuit to prevent the order from taking effect, saying “today’s executive order signing was an elaborate photo-op with no discernible policy outcome.”

BAGHDAD – Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi is in talks with the Trump administration to keep American troops in Iraq after the fight against the Islamic State group in the country is concluded, according to a U.S. official and an official from the Iraqi government.

Both officials underlined that the discussions are ongoing and that nothing is finalized. But the talks point to a consensus by both governments that, in contrast to the U.S. withdrawal in 2011, a longer-term presence of American troops in Iraq is needed to ensure that an insurgency does not bubble up again once the militants are driven out.

“There is a general understanding on both sides that it would be in the long-term interests of each to have that continued presence. So as for agreement, yes, we both understand it would be mutually beneficial. That we agree on,” the U.S. official said.

Both officials spoke on the condition of anonymity in line with regulations.

The talks involve U.S. Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis and Iraqi officials

ence in Mosul after the fight against the Islamic State group is concluded along with a small number of U.S. forces. The forces would help control security in the city and oversee the transition to a political administration of Mosul, he said.

The U.S. official emphasized that there were no discussions of creating independent American bases in Iraq, as such a move would require thousands more personnel. He said the troops levels would be “several thousand ... similar to what we have now, maybe a little more.”

Currently, the Pentagon has close to 7,000 U.S. troops in Iraq, many not publicly acknowledged because they are on temporary duty or under specific personnel rules. The forces include troops training Iraqi forces, coordinating airstrikes and ground operations, and special forces operating on the front lines.

The news comes as Iraqi forces are struggling to push IS fighters out of a cluster of neighborhoods in western Mosul that mark the last patch of significant urban terrain the group holds in Iraq, nearly three years after the militants overran nearly a third of the country.

What the Paris accord means

President Donald Trump is getting closer to exiting the Paris climate agreement. According to reports emanating from the White House, the president’s top lawyer shifted the internal debate last week. More meetings are to come. Yet the choice ought to be an easy one: Staying in the Paris accord is cost-free, but pulling out is not.

Paris exiters argue that the U.S. cannot remain in and revise downward the international commitment President Barack Obama made to cut U.S. emissions by 26 percent to 28 percent by 2025 – a pledge that, no matter how important for the planet, Trump does not want to keep. The White House counsel’s office reportedly lent its voice to this argument in a meeting March 27.

This is nonsense. World negotiators considered making the agreement’s climate commitment language stronger, preventing countries from backtracking on their pledges. They purposely declined to do so. The envoys who hammered out the agreement insist that they wanted to keep nations’ options open, in part because countries would otherwise lowball their international emissions commitments in fear of never being able to reduce their stated goals.

Arguments claiming otherwise reflect a grave – or purposeful – misunderstanding of the nature of the Paris agreement. At its core, it is a political pact among sovereign nations based on nonbinding “nationally determined contributions.” It does not and was never meant to formally bind countries to specific emissions commitments; instead it is intended to encourage voluntary cooperation and government-to-government pressure.

Moreover, the parties get to decide what its terms mean. If the Trump administration is worried that a line in the agreement could be interpreted as improperly binding the U.S. government, U.S. officials can shape how countries understand the agreement’s language. Or the president could simply ignore it. Nothing in the Paris agreement could stop him from keeping the U.S. in the system and Obama’s pledge on the books, and then simply declining to meet the pledge. It is fanciful to imagine that U.S. courts would interpret Paris, an agreement with almost no legal requirements, otherwise. Even this path would be better than pulling out entirely.

The president must not underestimate the cost of pulling out. Only two countries – Syria and Nicaragua – have declined to join the Paris agreement.

Climate diplomacy has become a cornerstone of international engagement. By leaving Paris, the U.S. would surrender a huge amount of diplomatic capital and reputation – much more than it is already set to lose by unwisely reversing Obama-era emissions-cutting policies. Trump would hear about it for the rest of his presidency. And for good reason.

Springfield disconnect can be fixed Radio Shack. HHGregg.

Gander Mountain. Gordmans.

Payless Shoesource. Aeropostale.

All these retailers are in bankruptcy, with some closing completely.

Now news that the granddaddy of retailers is about to fail.

Sears created shopping at home with delivery to your home 131 years ago, with brick and mortar stores a relatively recent addition in 1925. Online retailers took their model and are burying them.

Sears is based in the Chicago suburbs. They once were housed in Chicago’s tallest building.

You’d think our state leaders would be familiar with them and their woes.

Instead, state leaders demonstrate again just how disconnected they are from reality. They decide now is the time to push for a $15 minimum wage, up from $8.25 at present.

Never mind that our mini-

mum wage is already higher than every state we border, or that we lost 114,144 residents last year.

If we really want to do some serious damage to the service economy, push all those brick and mortar stores off the edge of the cliff by significantly increasing their labor costs.

At least Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner seems to get it: “That’s not gonna happen. Companies will just leave.”

For more evidence of how the Springfield bubble acts like the Cone of Silence, turn to the recent report on just how rarely state lawmakers pay attention to cost.

Of 938 bills passed by lawmakers during 2015 and 2016, only 27 had fiscal notes telling lawmakers the financial burden created by their new laws, according to an analysis by the Illinois Policy Institute.

“They’re passing bills left and right without a clue as to how

much they will cost – or considering whether Illinois even has enough money to pay for them,” said Kristina Rasmussen, president of the Institute. “No private citizen, family or business can afford to act this way. It’s unacceptable that our elected officials are allowed to get away with this.”

Sears would be just fine if only shoppers acted like state lawmakers and ignored the price tags.

So how do you burst the bubble and get those who spend your money to pay closer attention to the real world?

Term limits: Get behind an effort to turn career politicians into citizen public servants. Dethrone His Majesty Mike Madigan, because no one should be in control for 34 years.

Or, we can continue waiting for Springfield to fix itself.

Health care reform only helps wealthy

To the Editor: Dear Rep. Hultgren’s constituents, As the Republican Congress is set to resume after yet another break, it is becoming apparent that once again, for the umpteenth time, they will try to repeal instead of strengthen the ACA. This repeal “and replace” is without hearings, testimony from medical professionals, advocacy organizations, the insurance industry or the public. The only objective of these shenanigans, which will throw 24 million Americans off of affordable health care, is to provide a $300 billion tax cut to their 1 percent donor class of puppet-masters.

A simple fix is to reinstate the high risk pools that Marco Rubio and GOP Senate removed with the 2015 Budget Reconciliation.

Additionally, the Trump regime also has passed executive orders that weaken many environmental, consumer, labor and banking regulations that have a detrimental impact on those who put him into office.

If you are not in the top 5 percent income bracket and voted Republican, the GOP is going after Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, the ACA, veteran’s benefits, Pell Grants, public education, food stamps and immigrants. They are

“The original purpose of these TIF districts was to help rebuild blighted properties and provide economic stimulus,” Skillicorn said in his announcement. “Unfortunately, in many cases, TIF districts have become a misused form of underperforming corporate welfare that ultimately adds more and more costs to taxpayers.”

Skillicorn is pushing House Bill 3720, to allow surplus TIF district funds (if any) to go to public schools.

His news release notes, “Public schools frequently bear the unintended consequence of TIF districts, which put more pressure on local property taxpayers.”

He also is writing a bill “to prevent municipalities from luring businesses from other Illinois communities by offering businesses TIF funds.” He notes this practice “often leads to higher taxes for the TIF-impacted community in addition to the loss of economic activity for the community the business

students to succeed in high school and college. Yet, KIPP received permission from the U.S. Department of Education to keep secret how it spends taxpayer funding and how many KIPP students make it to high school graduation or complete a college degree.

Meanwhile, the KIPP foundation regularly spends nearly a half million dollars a year of taxpayer money on advertising to convince the public how great its charters are using figures it selects to promote the chain.

“Taxpayers have a right to know exactly how much they are contributing to TIF districts,” Skillicorn said.

“They also shouldn’t have to worry about losing businesses and jobs in their community because a TIF is being used to lure businesses away.”

Skillicorn is right on every point.

Corporate welfare backers have political clout and no doubt will oppose the bills. But it’s good a local lawmaker is highlighting the ways TIF has been twisted from its purpose and trying to fix a law that often rewards the politically connected at the expense of everyone else.

Maybe she should look in a mirror. As McHenry County’s regional superintendent of schools, she was the ringleader in the fiasco that became the Crystal Lake South High School bleacher mess.

Ms. Schermerhorn publicly encouraged the legal fight between the school district and the city of Crystal Lake. That needless legal battle forced taxpayers to waste massive legal fees on both ends! Her inflammatory comments and the school district’s aggressive legal battle were a horrible example for all the students in McHenry County. It caused neighbors of the high school to suffer from threats and vandalism.

Having noted that many new school board members were elected recently, Ms. Schermerhorn now is asking, “Let’s all encourage these board members to work for the best of the children and taxpayers through civilized debate and compromise.” Ms. Schermerhorn; are you afraid of the next election for your position? You should be. You were unopposed in the last election. Hopefully, that won’t happen again. The children are listening and the taxpayers are watching.

The Huntley Outlet Center was supposed to send a flow of tax dollars to local governments but it now stands empty – and as a symbol of “economic development” failure.

Such failures dot the area. Two other big ones: the shuttered Harvard Motorola plant and the flailing McHenry Riverwalk. These and many other “economic development” projects have underperformed or stopped performing altogether.

This county was settled in the 1830s and grew for 150 years without “economic development” to lure or keep businesses. Then, in the 1980s and 1990s, came “economic development” corporations and local “economic development” departments. “Economic development” is a euphemism for corporate welfare.

Tax increment financing may be the most abused “economic development tool.” The Huntley and McHenry projects were TIFs. City and village

governments create TIFs, which freeze property tax distributions in designated areas. As property values in the areas rise and development occurs, property tax collections also rise. But the increase in collections – the “increment” – does not go to schools, libraries, parks, etc. It goes to TIF projects, forcing all other property taxpayers to pay more to cover their share and the share that does not come from TIF districts. This is one reason McHenry County has some of the nation’s highest property tax burdens.

Sometimes TIFs fail so badly they need bailing out.

Last year, the Northwest Herald reported McHenry’s TIF fund “is already in the hole about $750,000 for projects paid for using general fund dollars, Deputy City Administrator Bill Hobson said. For the first time this year, the assessed value of taxable property in the TIF district fell below the amount that existed in 2002 when the TIF district was created.”

Despite rule delay, calorie counts come to menus Information cards provide calorie count and prices for food items on display Wednesday at a Whole Foods store in New York.

Calorie counts are popping up in supermarkets and restaurants.

By CANDICE CHOI

The Associated Press NEW YORK – Calorie counts are popping up on some restaurant menus and for prepared foods at supermarkets, whether you want to see them or not.

A federal regulation requiring food sellers to post the nutrition numbers

by Friday was postponed again this week until 2018, after years of delays amid opposition from pizza chains, convenience stores and grocers. But many chains had been scrambling to comply, and say they don’t plan to alter course right now.

“We were running hard toward the Friday deadline,” said Keith Dailey, a spokesman for Kroger, in an email.

Kroger Co., which operates chains including Ralph’s and Fry’s, said it plans to be “mostly” compliant by this week. Albertsons, which owns Safeway and Vons, also said shoppers will find calorie counts for prepared foods such as cut fruit, salads and muffins.

The company’s Jewel-Osco chain also is sticking with plans to do so, the Chicago Tribune reported earlier this week.

At Whole Foods in New York this week, calorie counts were posted on most hot food and salad bar items, and the chain said it’s still committed to this week’s deadline.

An Indian chicken dish at its hot food bar was listed at 130 calories for a 3-ounce serving, and a rice dish was listed at 120 calories per 4-ounce serving.

The signs didn’t indicate what those serving sizes look like. In the prepared food section, a Mediterranean turkey

meatball had 730 calories and a regular meatball in red sauce had 520.

While New York City and some other places already require restaurant chains to post calorie counts, the federal rule would make the numbers more widely available and require places such as supermarkets and convenience stores to do so as well. It applies to chains with 20 or more locations, and was initially passed in 2010 as part of former President Obama’s health care overhaul.

The National Restaurant Association supports the standard because it wants to avoid dealing with a patchwork of local laws, and because the federal rule includes other establishments that serve food.

“The convenience and grocery chains see it as a competitive advantage if we have [calorie information up] and they don’t,” said Dunkin’ Brands CEO

Nigel Travis. The company’s chains, Dunkin’ Donuts and Baskin Robbins, began posting calories nationally last year.

Subway also began posting calorie counts last year, saying people were confused by the repeated delays. McDonald’s and Panera already had been doing so, and others have followed suit.

But supermarkets and convenience stores say their offerings are far more complicated than traditional restaurants. Pizza chain Domino’s also has been a vocal opponent, and said it should be able to disclose the information online since most orders are not placed in stores.

The delay could give the National Association of Convenience Stores time to push for the option of posting calories in a centralized location, rather than right by food and drinks. A sign with

calorie information right by the selfserve coffee would be impractical, said Doug Kantor, a lawyer for the group.

“Every day, somebody’s going to knock over the sign, or someone’s going to spill coffee on it,” Kantor said.

The trade group said many convenience stores – which are selling more prepared foods than ever – don’t want to roll out the information until they’re certain the rule is final. The National Grocers Association said many of its members are trying to adhere to the rule, but still are confused about certain aspects of ensuring they’re compliant.

In addition to being able to post calorie counts online, Domino’s said it wants to remove language that would make stores criminally liable for incorrect information.

“Do we think somebody’s going to go to jail for putting pepperoni on a pizza?

Of course not,” Domino’s spokesman Tim McIntyre said. But he said that’s why the wording should be deleted.

Margo Wootan, director of nutrition policy at the Center for Science in the Public Interest, said she’s worried the delay offers businesses more time to weaken the rule by lobbying the Trump administration. She also noted that many chains already have invested in being compliant.

The FDA has fielded a range of questions from businesses seeking clarity, according to emails obtained by the Associated Press. Among the issues: How calories should be calculated if a pizza company gets pepperoni from multiple suppliers. The FDA’s advice was to use the one with highest calorie count.

WORTH TALKIN’ ABOUT FRIDAY, MAY 5, 2017

The cast of “Happy Days” has briefly reunited to remember cast mate Erin Moran, who died at her Indiana home last month. A photo shared online shows Ron Howard, Marion Ross, Don Most, Anson Williams, Cathy Silvers and Scott Baio posing together.

Ross, who played Moran’s on-screen mother, told Entertainment Tonight that the gathering took place Tuesday at her California home, known as “Happy Days Farm.” She said it wasn’t a formal memorial service. The actress died at age 56 on April 22 at her home in southern Indiana. Authorities said cancer was the most likely cause of death.

Founder reflects on Rolling Stone after 50 years NEW YORK – Fifty years after he launched an underground newspaper that changed music journalism and a great deal more, Jann S. Wenner finds Rolling Stone being showcased in a once-unthinkable forum: a museum.

“At least it’s a museum I own,” Wenner said with a laugh during a recent telephone interview as he anticipated an anniversary exhibition at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland, an institution that Wenner helped found in the 1980s. The three-floor “Rolling Stone/50 years” exhibit opens Friday and runs through late November.

There might not have been a Rock Hall or museum without Rolling Stone, which as much as anybody moved rock and the lifestyle around it from the fringes to the mainstream. Rolling Stone not only chronicled music, politics and culture, but it also helped change it, whether through Wenner’s revelatory 1970 interview with John Lennon, the photography of Annie Leibovitz or the “gonzo” reporting of Hunter S. Thompson. Among those getting early starts at Rolling Stone were Leibovitz, Thompson, the music critics Greil Marcus and Lester Bangs, screenwriter Joe Eszterhas and filmmaker Cameron Crowe.

The common thread among the best Rolling Stone contributors has been “extraordinary talent,” Wenner said, along with a “sense of purpose” and a distinctive way of “seeing our times.”

The exhibit and accompanying coffee table book capture some of the highlights: Thompson’s scathing coverage of the 1972 presidential campaign, the serialization of Tom Wolfe’s “The Bonfire of the Vanities” and Michael Hastings’ scandalously candid 2010 profile of Gen. Stanley McChrystal, leading to his departure as commander of U.S. troops in Afghanistan.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus first wowed audiences in the 19th century. For the iconic American spectacle’s final act, it will broadcast the final performance on a 21st century medium: Facebook Live.

The company told The Associated Press this week that the final circus show May 21 will be streamed live on the social media network and on the circus’s website. The final performance will be in Uniondale, New York.

Earlier this year, Feld Entertainment, the company that owns the iconic circus, announced that the show would end in May. The circus’s decline happened because of a variety of factors. Declining attendance, combined with high operating costs, changing public tastes and prolonged battles with animal rights groups all contributed to its demise.

Sam Gomez, the circus’s vice president of digital and relationship marketing, said Ringling did something similar, although on a smaller scale, during the final elephant act performance in 2016.

During that broadcast on Facebook, Ringling showed a pre-recorded intro, then cut to the live act. For the May 21 show, the entire performance will be broadcast live from start to finish and will be hosted

by Kristen Michelle Wilson, Ringling’s first female ringmaster.

NEW YORK – The stage play “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child” has become London’s theater event of the year. Now Broadway will shortly be under its spell, too.

Producers said Thursday that the show will come to The Lyric Theatre in the spring of 2018, with an opening set for April. The play recently won nine Olivier Awards in London, including best new play. The Harry Potter work was written by Jack Thorne from a story by Thorne, J.K. Rowling and John Tiffany.

It picks up 19 years after the end of the final novel, “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.”

The production is presented in two parts, intended to be seen on the same day.

Lessons from the road

Simple is best and other thoughts from traveling with kids

By JONATHAN ELDERFIELD The Associated Press

GETTYSBURG, Pa. – Road trip season is around the corner. Does that fill you with memories of painful car trips stuck between siblings in the backseat? Or do you relish the idea of hitting the road, maybe with your own kids?

I took a 10-day road trip last summer with my sons Max and Henry, then 14 and 10. There were ups and downs as we headed from the Philadelphia suburbs through Western New York to the Canadian side of Niagara Falls, then back home through Ohio. Overall we had fun, but some stops were more enjoyable than others. Here are some takeaways.

Sometimes simple is best

The highlight of the trip might just have been one of our first stops: the Circle Drive-In movie theater in Scranton, Pennsylvania, where we watched a double feature from the station wagon while eating candy and drinking soda.

From there, we had a rainy visit to a state park in Watkins Glen, New York, and lunch in nearby Ithaca with a friend.

Next was a biggie: Niagara Falls.

But it turned out to be a bit of a letdown. The falls impressed, but the street photographer in me cared more about the crowds oohing and aahing at the sights. My kids just weren’t that interested. I guess video games can take the wow out of the natural world.

Later in the trip, we visited Pittsburgh, where I’d gone to college. The Duquesne Incline, an old-fashioned riverfront funicular, and the sandwiches at Primanti Bros., which have French fries and coleslaw between the bread, were bigger hits with the boys than the Carnegie Museum of Natural History.

Takeaways: Don’t feel obliged to see touristy places and museums if the kids don’t care. Look for unique sites and shorter excursions.

Food, lodging and serendipity

I had my first taste of poutine, the Quebecois dish of French fries, cheese curds and gravy, in Canada.

But most area restaurants we saw were chains, which I try to avoid. On the spur of the moment we drove to

Downtown Pittsburgh is seen Aug. 29, 2016, through the window of the Duquesne Incline in Pittsburgh, Penn. The incline opened in 1877 and was restored in 1963.

Niagara-on-the-Lake, a picturesque town filled with coffee shops, galleries and real restaurants, for a stroll and genuine meal.

Some of our stops were planned, including tickets for a Columbus Crew soccer match, but I also relied on serendipity and web searches for things to do on the fly. Sophia’s, in Buffalo, New York, was an impromptu find for a hearty breakfast on the day of our longest drive from Canada to Ohio.

I limited the kids’ screen time on each leg to encourage sightseeing out the window, but I also had some meditative driving time to myself with music cranked as Max and Henry kept their heads bowed to the almighty small screen.

As sole driver, though, I didn’t want to spend every minute behind the wheel. This was my vacation, too.

So I built in a respite from the road at an Airbnb cottage in Vermillion, Ohio, on the south shore of Lake Erie.

We swam, explored small lakeshore towns and checked off some classic pastimes: soft-serve ice cream from a roadside stand, flattening pennies on freight train tracks and a barbecue.

Driving through farmland and fields, we stopped for lunch in Oberlin, Ohio, and ended up in Columbus for two nights with a friend and his family. The planned soccer game, a few meals out and a trip to the amazing and immense Book Loft book store in German Village and we were ready to head back to Pennsylvania.

I love Gettysburg. The history of the battlefields and the majestic landscape is something I can’t get enough of. One kid helped me re-enact a famous Civil War photograph at Devil’s Den; the photograph itself was a set-up by Alexander Gardner so it was only fitting that I did the same. We drove and walked at sunset and dawn, enjoying the best light and avoiding midday heat before starting for home.

Takeaways: Don’t eat every meal in a restaurant and don’t spend every night in a hotel. Find opportunities for fresh food, whether picnics or home cooking. Aim for a few nights in a vacation rental or with friends or family along the way. But bring a blow-up mattress and bedding in case fold-out beds or other makeshift

accommodations aren’t up to snuff.

The balancing act

We had our ups and downs on the trip, the boys and me.

I felt like I constantly was asking them to pay attention to the world around them and get off their screens.

On the other hand, I also was glad they had a distraction when I lacked plans for dinner.

Simple things were often the best, like the drive-in or the Pittsburgh incline rather than museums or touristy Niagara Falls. Another big hit: the motel pool. It’s a great way to refresh after hours of driving, and you won’t have to drag your children off their devices if there’s a pool to play in.

A few other pointers: Bring some balls or games. We kicked the soccer ball during a few highway stops. And break up the trip. Instead of highways, take smaller roads, like the one where we saw a covered bridge. Buy tickets and plan for important events, but be spontaneous too. Everyone in the car will be happier if they feel their opinion is being heard.

Lori Mihalich-Levin (left), an attorney and working mom who has written a curriculum to guide women who are returning to work after having a baby, plays with her two boys in the backyard after work. by a discussion board. It’s designed so women can go at their own pace, scrolling through the posts during the quiet of night while breast-feeding.

The course – and the book – are based partly on Mihalich-Levin’s missteps and successes as a parent, and partly on the advice of dozens of mothers and professionals. A personal stylist suggests how to shop for post-maternity work clothes, and a clinical psychologist writes about how to manage perinatal anxiety.

Mihalich-Levin is a consummate planner. She began researching day care centers before she even was pregnant and had a stack of envelopes addressed and ready with completed applications and wait list fees on the day she got her positive pregnancy test.

But, even with a supportive handson husband, no amount of planning appeared to help her manage the chaos two small children brought each day.

In retrospect, the first thing she needed was an attitude adjustment, she said.

Her book highlights the importance of practicing gratitude. Instead of worrying what food you are putting on the table, be grateful you have food on the table, she said. In the moments when you’re feeling getting burned out and tired, look for something good that is happening, her book suggests.

She also advocates “micro-selfcare” strategies. At a time when you feel like you are have no extra time to exercise or start a meditation practice, start small, she said.

That could mean a five-minute stop on a park bench during a morning commute to look around and watch the world. Or even something smaller: Mihalich-Levin pauses each work day for 30 seconds to take a breath when changing from her work shoes to her sneakers before leaving to pick up her son, and she thinks about how she wants her night to go. “It helps me release the day,” she writes.

The book has plenty of information about managing the logistics of returning to work, including how to lobby day cares for admission and how to express breast milk on air planes, in the halls of Congress or wherever a working woman spends her days.

Michalich-Levin dares her readers to be ambitious when it comes to imagining and asking for the kind of flexibility they would like to have when they return to work and then offers pointers for how to ask for it.

And she emphasizes how women can think of their maternity leave as an opportunity for leadership. Instead of thinking of becoming a parent as derailing your career ambitions, consider how it can help, she advises.

Caring for an infant hones a new set of skills that translate well in a work place, including patience and adaptability, creative problem solving, prioritizing, organizing, delegating and anticipating the needs of stake holders. “Little babies are demanding customers, aren’t they?” she writes.

That approach was a selling point for Kimley-Horn, a national planning and design consulting firm that started offering the curriculum as part of a

• Friday, May 5, 2017

When Lori Mihalich-Levin returned to work after having a second child, the stresses of her job combined with demands of taking care of an infant and toddler had her feeling defeated. Many nights, she said, she found herself in tears on the kitchen floor – a pile of dishes nearby and the prospect of another sleepless night in front of her.

The health care attorney started looking for advice online to help her transition to work go more smoothly.

Amid the boundless advice for new parents, she found detailed instructions for how to write a birth plan, or massage your baby, or how to purée baby food, she said. “But there was no curriculum for how to go back to work after maternity leave without losing your mind.”

So she decided to design her own.

In 2014, when her younger son was 1½ years old, the Washington, D.C., mother founded an organization called Mindful Return to guide new working mothers. She launched a blog and started a four-week online course.

Last month she published a book: “Back to Work After Baby: How to Plan and Navigate a Mindful Return from Maternity Leave.” Her course is now being offered by a dozen employers, including her own law firm.

Supports for mothers returning to the workforce after having a baby are rare in a country where only 14 percent of workers are entitled to any paid family leave through their employers. But managing work with caring for a baby comes with a range of emotional and practical challenges that lead some women to opt out of the workforce.

Some companies – focused on retention – are beginning to acknowledge the stresses, and offering benefits such as transition planning, a slow transition phase back into work and breast-milk shipping services for women who are traveling for work.

More business leaders are saying, “This is a normal life transition, and we can make it more of a positive transition,” said Ellen Galinsky, president of Families and Work Institute, a New York-based research institute.

Such benefits still are rare, though.

Most women – even those fortunate enough to have maternity leaves – struggle upon return, as Mihalich-Levin did, with limited help and little plan beyond survival.

Her four-week course starts every other month. Each week day there is a new topic, ranging from how to respond to “mom guilt” to how to feed your baby and yourself, followed

larger package of maternity-leave benefits, said Kelly Sizemore, a human resources manager there.

The firm is looking for ways to retain and develop more women into leadership positions in a male-dominated field, Sizemore said. Some women were leaving their jobs after they started families. “We thought, what can we do to relieve the stressors in their lives?” she said.

Leadership also can come in a different form, by advocating for a more family-friendly culture and policies in your work place, writes Mihalich-Levin.

She challenges women to set an example by executing a well-planned maternity leave, or by starting a support group for new parents at work, or by volunteering for more challenging roles.

Stephanie Weeks, a software designer and a corporate executive who took the course, said she was afraid her career would stagnate when she had a child.

She ended up changing jobs and continuing to rise in her career, but she did not go back to work the same way, she said.

She became more transparent about what was happening in her personal life, even talking openly about the sadness she felt at leaving her baby at home.

Weeks wrote a passage for the book, and encouraged other women to not feel like they need to hide or downplay their family life while at work.

“Even when you show up to work with no makeup and with spit up on your suit, stand tall,” she said.

For Mihalich-Levin, opportunities for leadership became clear. She started Mindful Return and became a mentor to hundreds of new moms.

She still is an attorney, but moved from a trade association to a job at a law firm where she works 60 percent of the time. That way she can leave at 4:30 p.m. every day and be home on Fridays, giving her more time for her business and her family.

She also built a community, a place to offer support and to receive it, putting her light years away from the isolated, dark place she was in when she went back to work the last time, she said.

At the close of her book she writes a letter to her former self, offering some reassurance and perspective she wishes she had had in those difficult days.

“You got this, mama,” she writes.

“This thing called parenthood. This thing called life. Called friendship.

Called career woman. You don’t have to please everyone to be enough. ...

You just ARE.”

Risk of developing meningitis low Dear Doctor: One of the schools in my area has been the focus of news reports about a bacterial meningitis case. How contagious is this disease?

Dear Reader: Bacterial meningitis cases in school-age children, adolescents and college students are predominately caused by two different organisms: Streptococcus pneumoniae and Neisseria meningitidis.

Streptococcus causes nearly 50 percent of meningitis between the ages of 2 and 18, while people in their teens and college years face an increased risk of meningitis caused by Neisseria meningitidis. In fact, 46 percent of meningitis cases between ages 11 to 17 are due to N. meningitidis.

The Streptococcus pneumoniae bacterium is spread by close contact with people who cough or sneeze. Upon inhalation, the bacteria adhere to the back of the nasal passage in an area called the nasopharynx.

Normally, there the bacteria sit, colonizing the nasopharynx without causing any problems. A study of 2,799 Italian children younger than 7 years of age found that 8.6 percent had S. pneumoniae colonizing the nasopharynx; the biggest risk factor for colonization was a sinus infection over the previous three months.

In most people with this colonization, the immune system keeps the bacteria from invading the cells of the body. However, when the immune system is weakened or when the body is fighting a viral infection, such as influenza, the bacteria can then invade the cells. From there, the bacteria can enter the bloodstream and cross through the blood-brain barrier, replicating readily in the cerebrospinal fluid, leading to the symptoms of meningitis.

The Neisseria meningitidis bacterium is passed from one person to another by secretions from coughing or by saliva

SUDOKU

ASK THE DOCTORS Robert Ashley from kissing. It’s also passed easily among people in close contact. Like Streptococcus, Neisseria also settles in the nasopharynx, where the immune system similarly keeps the bacteria from invading into the cells of the body. People can carry the bacteria for several months within their nasopharynx and unwittingly pass it on to others.

In fact, 5 to 10 percent of people in the United States carry this bacteria in the nasopharynx. Military recruits in closed quarters can have carrier rates up to 40 percent. College students in dormitory situations have carrier rates of 14 to 34 percent.

If one person develops meningitis from N. meningitidis, other people with whom they are in close contact are at greater risk.

Again, the bacteria that cause meningitis are quite contagious, but a person’s general risk of developing the illness is very low. In addition, children and adolescents are vaccinated for three types of bacteria that can lead to meningitis: Streptococcus pneumoniae, Neisseria meningitidis and Haemophilus influenzae type b. These vaccinations significantly have decreased the rates of meningitis, so make sure your child gets these vaccinations.

Lastly, if your child has been exposed to somebody with meningitis, watch for fever, neck stiffness and lethargy. If he or she begins to exhibit these symptoms, all potential signs of meningitis infection, take him or her to a doctor as soon as possible.

Dear Abby: I DEAR ABBY divorced my narcissistic husband Jeanne after our children Phillips were raised.

Over the years, I have tried to have a relationship with all of my children and their families. When I asked one of them for a three-day weekend with her children, she texted me saying they all had a lot going on.

Then she added, “Maybe next year.” I may not be here next year! I know she may never read this, but it doesn’t matter to me if it will help someone who does read it. I have decided to change my will. If I’m not worth my children’s time, they don’t deserve my money. Your thoughts? – Worthless Up North Dear Worthless: Could it be possible your daughter and her family are actually busy?

Not knowing how you raised your children, it’s hard to render an opinion, but from your reaction, you appear to have a troubled relationship with this daughter. Rather than disinherit her, try to find out what motivated her to text what she did so fences can be mended.

If that’s not possible, then you have every right to reallocate your assets as you wish.

Dear Abby: I have a huge problem with low self-esteem. For most of my life I was ridiculed, teased and bullied, not only by my classmates and co-workers, but also by my own family. It started when I was very young and continued well into my early 30s. (I am 35 now.) Because of this, I find it incredibly difficult to date anyone.

I always seem to find it easier to talk down about myself than to make myself happy.

Please help me, Abby. I’m at a loss about what to do. – Self-Esteem Issues In Ohio Dear Issues: I’m glad you wrote. The seeds of low self-esteem were planted when you were so young you didn’t understand what was being done was a form of abuse. Because it continued for so long, you should seek professional help to overcome it. It is important you get it from a licensed therapist. Your physician or your insurance company can refer you to qualified people. Please don’t wait.

Dear Abby: Before meeting me, my husband was in a long-term relationship with a woman, “Karen,” who also was a close friend of his sisters. Their relationship and the friendships ended due to Karen’s behavior. Years passed, and then my husband met me.

Now, 10 years later, the sisters have decided to befriend Karen again. This normally would not be an issue, but Karen is invited to all family parties and weddings. It is very uncomfortable for my husband and me, as we feel we don’t have the option to skip these events. I have tried to quietly object, but I’m being painted as “immature.” Please help. – Uncomfortable In Illinois Dear Uncomfortable: If you and your husband prefer not to socialize regularly with Karen, you certainly don’t have to. However, your discomfort with her does not entitle you to insist your sisters-in-law exclude her from all of their parties. Attend the ones you must, make the best of them, and send your regrets for the rest.

Kathy's Office & Home Cleaning Service

Many years ago, I was asked this question: What is the one thing you teach your students that they never seem to get and you cannot understand why? My answer is the theme of this column.

South is in four spades. West guesses well to lead the club two.

How should the defenders card to defeat the contract?

Over West’s takeout double, North applied the main conclusion from the Law of Total Tricks, jumping to four spades because he knew of a 10-card fit.

West might have led the spade ace, planning to exit with a diamond in the hope that his four honor cards would all win tricks. Here, though, that would not have worked.

When West leads a low club, which card should East contribute?

East is playing third hand high; his card might even win the trick. In this situation, East must play the bottom of his touching cards: the jack.

When South takes the trick with the ace, West knows his partner has the club queen. So, when South next plays a trump, West can win and continue with a second low club to give his partner the lead. Then, with luck, East will shift to the heart nine (the high card denying an honor in the suit), and West will take two tricks in that suit to defeat the contract.

East should not lead to a diamond, because if West has a winner there, it isn’t going to disappear. But a heart trick might -- and will -- evaporate.

Finally, if declarer ducks the first trick, East should immediately switch to the heart nine. West’s lead marks South with the club ace, so returning that suit would be a waste of time.

GIRLS TRACK AND FIELD: KISHWAUKEE RIVER CONFERENCE MEET

Streaks do it for Erwin

Woodstock almost upsets Burlington for retiring coach

By JOE STEVENSON

joestevenson@shawmedia.com MARENGO – Woodstock did its best to send coach Steve Erwin into retirement with the first Kishwaukee River Conference Girls Track and Field Meet team championship.

The Blue Streaks could not hold off Burlington Central, which had too much depth, but Erwin, who is stepping down after 33 years as a math teacher and girls track coach, still was thrilled by the results.

Woodstock was seeded before the meet for 101 points and third place. The Blue Streaks scored 123 points and took second behind Burlington’s 147 1/2 , while Richmond-Burton took third with 112.

“He’s done so much for this school, and he’s just got this huge legacy that we want to live up to,” Streaks sophomore hurdler Syd Heidtke said. “We want to be able to say, ‘We’re Woodstock and we were Erwin’s last team.’ It’s just amazing we could do this for him.

I’m sad we couldn’t get first, but we gave it our all, and that’s all he asks of us.”

Heidtke won the 100-meter high and 300 low hurdles, while taking seconds with two sprint relays.

Cora Uidl won the pole vault and Erwin lauded junior Kayla Deegan’s performance, winning the high jump and placing in both hurdles. Deegan had not run the hurdles outdoors after fighting injuries this spring.

“It’s really nice for Erwin in his last season,” Woodstock senior Kate Jacobs said. “It’s good for us to be able to keep running fast times.”

Jacobs was second in the 1,600 and third in the 3,200, while teammate Kylie Hagmann was second in the 3,200 and third in the 1,600.

They teamed up with Lauren Wieterman and Shannon Koscinski to win the 4x800, then with Koscinski and Uidl to take third in the 4x400.

Jacobs and Hagmann each ran 15 laps on Thursday.

“That’s what you hope for,” Erwin said. “Our team is smaller than it used to be. We haven’t been able to compete, teamwise, in the Fox Valley (Conference) for quite a few years. When we went into the new conference, I was excited

about it being in my last season. I was thinking, ‘Hey, maybe we can win this conference meet.’ All you want to do is have the kids do the best they can, and that’s what they did tonight.”

R-B was led by K.C. Davids and Megan Curran, who each won a

pair of field events. Davids won the long jump (16 feet, 71/4 inches) and the triple jump (33-10). Curran won the shot put (37-81/2) and the discus (102-7).

“The long jump started off pretty rough,” Davids said. “I won it on my last jump. I told myself, ‘You’re a senior and this is your last (conference) jump ever. Make it count.’

The triple jump went all right, it wasn’t my best, but it was enough to get first.”

Curran had a tough time in the discus with the wind pushing throws to the right.

“I ended up with a 102 on my final throw, and that did it for me,” Curran said. “In shot, my second throw was 35 feet, but I knew I could do better. When I came back from the discus finals to the shot finals, I threw a 37.”

Marengo freshman Lillie Simons won the 200 and took seconds in the 100, long and triple jumps.

“It was awesome, it felt really nice to accomplish something like that,” Simons said. “It’s pretty exciting that I have three more years left of this, to see what it brings.”

BASEBALL: McHENRY 4, DUNDEE-CROWN 2

Lasiewicz defeats D-C’s Hedmark in pitchers’ duel

q UNSUNG HERO

Brendon LoPresti McHenry, sr., LF

In his second game back after a hamstring injury, LoPresti had a solid game, going 2 for 3 with a double, a run scored and an RBI. His double was the only extra-base hit off Dundee-Crown starting pitcher and NIU commit Erik Hedmark.

q THE NUMBER

15

Combined outs (out of 18 total) recorded by McHenry starter Michael Lasiewicz that were either on strikeouts or ground balls.

q AND ANOTHER THING ...

There were five infield hits in Thursday’s game.

Three by D-C, and two by McHenry. Each team threw a runner out trying to steal second base, as well. out five. And his command was pinpoint, as he didn’t issue a walk or an extra-base hit.

“I was able to locate my fastball today – running them in to righties and lefties,” Lasiewicz said. “I was able to jam a lot of hitters, which forced a lot of weak grounders.”

His ability to keep the ball down in the zone was key. Of the 18 outs record-

ed while Lasiewicz was on the mound, only three were on fly balls. D-C took a 1-0 lead in the top of the first on an RBI groundout, and its second run came on an infield single in the sixth, when the Chargers trailed by three.

After falling behind in the first, McHenry answered with two runs in the second on a balk and an RBI single by senior Brendon LoPresti. They added two insurance runs in the fifth on a wild pitch and an RBI single from cleanup hitter Dylan Honkala, who was 2 for 3.

Although he allowed four runs and 10 hits, squaring up pitches against Hedmark – who walked two and struck out eight in six innings – wasn’t always easy for McHenry. The Warriors had three infield singles, and LoPresti’s sixth-inning double was their only extra-base hit.

“Erik (Hedmark) was really moving the ball around well for them,” McHenry coach Brian Rockweiler said. “It wasn’t easy figuring out an approach against him. One inning, he’d start every batter off with a curveball, so I started telling our guys to look for curveballs early. The next inning, he’d do something different.

“We were just trying to get ourselves in good hitters’ counts. But that can be difficult sometimes, especially

when you’re facing a guy like we were today who’s around the plate all the time with all his pitches, with a lot of movement on them.”

D-C coach Matt Mueller praised his team’s effort.

“McHenry’s got a great lineup,” Mueller said. “Up and down the lineup, their kids can hit the ball hard. I thought Erik did a great job of attacking them. He induced a lot of bloopers and slow rollers that found their way through holes for hits. But that’s baseball sometimes. He kept us in the game.

“I feel like we can be in every game we play against anyone in this conference. Right now, our top three pitchers, Erik, Conor Ryan and Brett Buske, all have ERAs under 3.00.”

Mueller also applauded senior leadoff hitter and center fielder Scott Wojcik (2 for 3), who scored both of the Chargers’ runs. D-C (9-12, 6-11) squares off against McHenry again Friday in a rematch.

“Scott is the guy who drives our lineup, and he did a great job for us today. Mueller said. “I’ve got a ton of confidence in him as a ballplayer.”

Honkala worked a scoreless 1-2-3 seventh inning for McHenry to earn a save.

SOFTBALL: WOODSTOCK NORTH 4, JOHNSBURG 0

Thunder’s Thurow holds Skyhawks to 2 hits

By TIM SIECK

sports@nwherald.com JOHNSBURG – In the bottom of the first inning Thursday, Johnsburg leadoff hitter Tess Wright took an Ellie Thurow fastball deep to center field.

What looked to be an extra-base hit to start the game for the Skyhawks turned into a difficult over-the-shoulder catch by Thunder center fielder Maddie Busch. That one play set the tone for both teams.

Woodstock North got another impressive outing from Thurow, played outstanding defense and got just enough hitting to defeat Johnsburg, 4-0, in a Kishwaukee River Conference game at Johnsburg High School.

Thurow was the story for the Thunder (8-10, 3-5 KRC) all afternoon. With the exception of Wright’s at-bat, not many balls were hit hard. The sophomore finished with 10 strikeouts and

“My changeup worked well for me today, and so did my fastball,” Thurow said. “I was able to mix my pitches, get a lot of strikeouts, and my de-

fense made all the plays I needed them to make and really had my back.”

Johnsburg pitcher Emily Owen matched Thurow until the fifth inning, when Woodstock North got on the board. Tess Schultz started the inning by getting hit by a pitch. Two batters later, Thurow helped her own cause with a single. With two runners on and needing only to make contact to get her team on the scoreboard, Thunder sophomore Chloe Vermett did more than that, hitting a home run to left center that put Woodstock North up, 3-0.

“That was a pretty important hit because it started a rally for us,” Vermett said. “We started the game off kind of slow and couldn’t get much done, and that inning gave us a lot of confidence.”

The Skyhawks (8-15, 3-5) finally got base runners on in the bottom of the fifth. Paige King hit a single to right, and Hannah Hilgart-Roy followed by

drawing a walk. Both runners advanced on a wild pitch, and Johnsburg was one hit from getting back in the game. Thurow stopped any hopes of a rally, however, striking out the next two batters.

Woodstock North was led by Laura Nicks and Amaya Saldana, who each had two hits, and Vermett with three RBIs. “We hit a lot of balls hard but right at them in the beginning,” Thunder coach Pete Riis said. “Our defense played well all game, especially that catch by Maddie (Busch) in the first.

Ellie did a great job all game and really stopped them from scoring.”

Haley Erickson and King had the two hits for the Skyhawks.

“Give credit to Ellie. She threw great,” Skyhawks coach Ted Juske said. “I thought we played well defensively, but offensively we swung out of the zone too much and couldn’t get much going.”

McHENRY – Thursday’s Fox Valley Conference baseball game between Dundee-Crown and McHenry was a contrast in styles between two starting pitchers who both have committed to play college baseball for Northern Illinois.

The Warriors turned to hard-throwing senior right hander Michael Lasiewicz, who topped out at 90 mph on the press box radar gun, while Chargers junior lefty Erik Hedmark reached 83 – but featured a bevy of offspeed and breaking pitches throughout.

In the end, Lasiewicz and McHenry (15-6, 10-4 FVC) prevailed in a 4-2 victory, but not before both players showcased their impressive skills deep into the game.

Lasiewicz scattered six hits over six innings to pick up his fourth victory of the season, while striking

4 BOYS LACROSSE: PRAIRIE RIDGE 18, JACOBS 2

Wolves roll to FVC victory

By JOHN WILKINSON

jwilkinson@shawmedia.com ALGONQUIN – The Jacobs defense held strong for as long as it could, but as Prairie Ridge attackers kept coming, the dam eventually broke. A trickle of goals turned into a flood.

Prairie Ridge scored twice in the first six minutes of Thursday’s Fox Valley Conference boys lacrosse game but then rattled off four goals in the final two Cory Zordan minutes of the opening quarter.

The Wolves went on to beat the Golden Eagles, 18-2, at Jacobs.

“We just kind of chipped away,” Prairie Ridge coach Josh Cole said. “I thought we made good decisions overall. ... Offensively, we just kind of did our thing, we were patient, made good decisions and the ball just kind of found its way into the net. We weren’t pressing at all, we didn’t feel like we needed to score 10 goals right away, we just kind of did a little at a time and I thought our kids played smart lacrosse.”

Cory Zordan and Jacob Sperling led the Wolves with four goals apiece. Ryan Kirchberg and Michael Pilafas each added three goals, Cole Naumovski had two, Ben Wheeland and Jarred Tabor

The strong start was not a surprise to Cole.

“The thing that this group of kids impresses me with is that they always show up ready to play,” Cole said.

“Whether it’s the No. 1 rated team in the state or it’s someone who’s kind of having an off year, our kids come ready to play and take care of business. We don’t really let down, no matter who it is. I’m really happy with the way we do

things.”

Naumovski got the Wolves (10-1, 5-0) onto the board 2:35 into the game and then Zordan doubled the lead with 6:07 left in the quarter. Zordan’s next goal, however, opened the floodgates as he made it 3-0 with 1:46 left and the Wolves ended the quarter with a 6-0 lead.

“Getting the early start really gets the team going,” Zordan said. “It just gets us pumped up and want to score more goals. It gets the fun levels higher.”

The visitors led, 10-0 by halftime and 12-0 before Jacobs (2-9, 1-5) got on the board midway through the third period.

Louis Czech scored the Golden Eagles’ first goal at 7:46 of the third period on an assist from Nicholas Janchev.

Prairie Ridge responded with three more to lead, 15-1 through three quarters.

Jacobs’ Jack Marquardt scored the Golden Eagles’ second goal to start the fourth quarter before Prairie Ridge closed it out with three more to make it 18-2.

Golden Eagles’ goalkeeper Ian Wilson made nine saves in the loss, while Prairie Ridge’s Matt McDowell made three stops.

“We just couldn’t get the ball on offense and then our defense was getting tired,” Jacobs coach John Bigler said.

“That’s all there was to it.”

We’re not going to dwell on it, and we’ve obviously got things to work on.”

Crystal Lake South 6, Crystal Lake Central 0: At Crystal Lake, Kyle Lang tossed

lead off the inning. Marengo pitcher Mariah Dionne intentionally walked leadoff hitter Kristina Ahlers, who already had three extra-base hits in the game.

A single from Gretchen Schrubbe tied the score and left runners on the corners for Barnes, who rocketed the first pitch she saw over the fence in left-center field.

“I was off, 0 for 3, I knew the fourth at-bat I had to put it in play with a runner on third,” Barnes said.

She delivered in a big way.

In the bottom of the inning, Marengo had one runner reach on an error, but Barnes retired the next three in order to secure the win.

“We’ve been working all year for this, and I’m so proud of them because we know what we’re capable of doing,” Burlington Central coach Erica Snyder said.

For Dionne, it was a tough way to end what had been a solid day. Dionne struck out 14 batters and walked one.

She struck out nine in the first four innings and trailed, 3-1, entering the Marengo half of the inning.

“I definitely felt like today was a good day,” Dionne said. “I was hitting my spots. Today was just a day that I

executed. I felt confident.”

Two of the Rockets’ early runs were unearned. Ahlers led off the game with a triple and came around to score.

Marengo made up one in the bottom of the first on Anna Walsweer’s RBI double.

Trailing by two entering the bottom of the fourth, Marengo’s Leah Secor and Riley Connell hit back-to-back home runs, scoring three runs and putting the Indians ahead, 4-3.

No. 9 hitter Grace Houghton singled with two outs. Secor knocked one over the fence in left center to tie the score.

Then Connell, who hadn’t hit at all this season until two weeks ago, smashed one out to left.

Connell had been battling a back injury that kept her out of the batter’s box, although she did pitch. It was her first home run of the season.

“It was really great,” Connell said.

“I was pumped when Leah came up and hit her bomb. When I got up, she threw me two balls and I knew she was going to come back and throw it in the strike zone.”

The teams were scoreless for the next two innings before Burlington Central broke things open in the seventh.

Skwarek was 2 for 3 with a run scored and two steals, and Ryan Parquette, Brian Fuentes and Brent Chubb all drove in one.

Jake Staples had the only hit against Lang, a two-out single in the third.

James Cormier took the loss for Central (9-14, 6-11), allowing six runs (two earned) on 10 hits in six innings. He struck out three and walked two.

Cary-Grove 12, Jacobs 0 (5 inn.): At Cary, Matt McCumber needed only 57 pitches in a complete-game shutout over five innings to lead the Trojans to an FVC win. McCumber allowed two hits with five strikeouts and no walks and finished 3 for 3 with two RBIs. Quinn Priester was 3 for 3 with a run scored for C-G (16-7, 11-6), Zach Willis was 2 for 4 with a double and three RBIs, and Collin Walsh was 1 for 2 with a double and three RBIs. Kyle Ives had a hit and three runs scored.

Liam Oreskovich and Ryan McGorian had the only two hits for Jacobs (1310, 5-9), and Matt Camp took the loss. He allowed three earned runs on six hits in two innings with a strikeout and two walks.

Harvest Christian 8, Alden-Hebron 0: At Judson University in Elgin, the Giants collected only one hit in a Northeastern Athletic Conference loss. Logan Grove had the hit for A-H (14-12, 8-7 NAC) and

took the loss. He gave up five runs (four earned) on five hits in five innings, striking out seven and walking three.

Marist 8-11, Marian Central 5-12: At Lippold Park in Crystal Lake, the Hurricanes split an East Suburban Catholic Conference doubleheader.

James Raffauf was 2 for 4 with a home run, double, four RBIs and three runs scored in Game 2, and Josh Taylor and Jordan Rodriguez both scored twice. In Game 1, Raffauf, Alex Golembiewski and Jace Mallo all drove in a run.

Isaac Kaufmann took the loss in Game 1, allowing four earned runs on five hits in 42/3 innings. He struck out six and walked five for the Hurricanes (6-13, 2-9).

BOYS TENNIS Jacobs 7, Dundee-Crown 0: At Carpen-

tersville, Jacobs swept Dundee-Crown to clinch the outright FVC championship.

The Golden Eagles have 39 points in the standings but will gain at least six points when their match with McHenry is resumed Friday. Jacobs leads McHenry, 6-0.

Cary-Grove finished in second place with 44 points.

MARENGO – Marengo had clawed its way back from an early deficit and led by a run entering the seventh inning against Burlington Central on Thursday. A win would have given the Indians’ softball team a two-game lead in the Kishwaukee River Conference, and it would have been their 59th consecutive conference win.

Burlington Central had other ideas.

The Rockets scored four runs in the seventh, highlighted by a three-run home run from pitcher Julia Barnes, and went on to win, 7-4.

Marengo (19-3, 8-1 KRC) watched its conference winning streak come to an end at 58, and lost its one-game lead over the Rockets (11-6, 8-1).

“It’s just another game,” Marengo

RICHMOND-BURTON GIRLS BASKETBALL

By JOE STEVENSON

joestevenson@shawmedia.com Stephanie Oslovich, who has coached at all three levels of girls basketball at IC Catholic, will take over her own program at Richmond-Burton next season.

Oslovich, 28, was announced Thursday by R-B athletic director Pat Elder as the Rockets’ new girls head coach.

She replaces Todd Severns, who was

olic in Elmhurst, where she also was sophomore girls basketball and junior varsity softball coach. She held one varsity coaching job with the Knights, that was with the boys bowling team.

“I know they’re coming off an almost-even season, and I’ve been told I’ll be working with a really great group of returning girls,” Oslovich said. “I’m excited about keeping the amount of girls they had in the lower levels in the program and building on

that every year.”

Oslovich played basketball and softball at St. Francis de Sales, then at NCAA Division III Benedictine University in Lisle. The Osloviches live in Grayslake, so she will have a drive to school about one-quarter of what she currently has.

“I like the small community, it’s not super-small, and the proximity and everything it offers for the kids,” Oslovich said.

He started 49 consecutive IndyCar races from 1990 to ’92 before moving to NASCAR, where he made 29 or more starts every year from 1994 to 2003. He was the first driver to attempt the Memorial Day double. And when his driving career was winding down, Andretti still found a way to give something back to the fans and the sport.

Now, the 54-year-old finds himself fighting for his life against stage IV colon cancer that has spread to his liver.

“It’s tough because me and John are close,” former IndyCar driver and current team owner Michael Andretti said Thursday in Indianapolis. “It was devastating for the whole family when they got the news, and on top of that it’s very frustrating because it could have been prevented. If he’d gone a year ago, we wouldn’t be here.”

May in Indianapolis has been a family spot for the Andretti family for more than half a century.

Twin brothers Mario, Michael’s father, and Aldo, John’s father, first started coming to the Brickyard in the mid-1960s. In 1984, Mario found himself against Indianapolis 500 rookie Michael. John joined the family club in 1988 and after making seven straight starts, through 1994, left for NASCAR. During his absence, Mario tested a car for his injured son and Michael came out of retirement to race against his own son, Marco, in 2006. In 2007, three Andrettis – Michael, John and Marco – were back on the 33-car starting grid.

This time won’t be the same.

a 116-89 victory that cut their Eastern Conference semifinal series deficit to 2-1.

Washington built a big lead for the third consecutive game, holding and extending it this time as the score and the physical play got out of hand.

Washington’s Kelly Oubre Jr. was tossed for charging and knocking over Kelly Olynyk after a hard offensive foul, each coach got a technical foul, and the hatred that built up during the regular season captured the spotlight more than John Wall continuing to torment the Celtics or the Wizards finding a solution for Isaiah Thomas.

“I guess that’s playoff basketball,” said Thomas, who was held to 13 points after scoring 53 in Game 2. “We don’t like them, and they don’t like us.”

Friday night in Houston.

Although the 34-year-old Parker is not the dynamic playmaker he was in his younger days, he is still hugely important to the team. After the Spurs were blown out in Game 1, Parker responded with 18 points in 25 minutes before getting injured.

SPORTS BRIEFS Cutler might move to TV booth after audition to replace Lynch

Unable to find an acceptable on-field fit, Jay Cutler might turn to the broadcast booth.

Seriously.

The former Bears quarterback – whose petulant media appearances have, in recent years, turned into more mature outings – is exploring the possibility of a TV career.

“I think Jay Cutler would be on point as an analyst,” guard Kyle Long said Thursday.

“He’s one of the most cerebral guys I’ve ever played with, one of the most well-spoken guys I’ve played with.”

Whether Cutler might be a fit in studio or as an in-game color commentator – he auditioned last week to replace current 49ers general manager John Lynch in the latter role at Fox, according to ESPN – is unclear.

Also murky: whether Cutler is willing to retire. Cutler – who had right shoulder labrum surgery in December and was cut by the Bears with a failed physical designation in March – never has come off the bench as a pro. Some at the NFL’s owners meetings in late March believed Cutler would quit rather than go somewhere with no chance to start.

TV rumblings could be a leverage play, too, in case an interested team believed it was negotiating against itself for Cutler’s services.

Cutler’s most noteworthy move this offseason might have come in Mexico, where wife Kristin Cavallari famously posted a picture of his bare backside on social media.

Johnson opens with 70 in return, 4 shots out of Wells Fargo lead

WILMINGTON, N.C. – Six weeks away from competition didn’t keep Dustin Johnson from extending one streak Thursday, with hopes of adding to another.

Johnson showed more game than rust at the Wells Fargo Championship, where he missed only two greens – and plenty of putts – for a 2-under-par 70 that left him four shots behind leader Francesco Molinari at blustery Eagle Point Golf Club.

It was Johnson’s 13th consecutive round at par or better.

Johnson wasn’t as flawless as he looked while winning three straight tournaments, although he had few complaints under the circumstances. It was his first time playing since he slipped in his socks down the stairs at his rental house in Augusta, hurting his back and knocking him out of the Masters.

Rangers top Senators, tie series

NEW YORK – Oscar Lindberg scored two goals, Henrik Lundqvist made 22 saves, and the New York Rangers beat the Ottawa Senators, 4-1, Thursday to tie their Eastern Conference semifinal series at two games apiece.

Chris Kreider and Nick Holden also scored, and Tanner Glass added two assists for the Rangers, who have won four consecutive home games this postseason.

Kyle Turris scored for Ottawa, and Craig Anderson made 17 saves before being replaced by Mike Condon for the third period.

Condon finished with nine stops.

8 CUBS 5, PHILLIES 4 (13 INN.)

Cubs need marathon to take series

By BRUCE MILES

bmiles@dailyherald.com CHICAGO – If there’s a big baserunning play to be made, the Cubs want Albert Almora Jr. to be in the middle of it.

He seems pretty adept at it, going back to, oh, Game 7 of the 2016 World Series, when he tagged from first base on a flyout and went to second. He’d later score on a clutch double by Ben Zobrist.

The heady 23-year-old was at it again Thursday in a 5-4 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies at Wrigley Field.

Almora led off the bottom of the 13th inning by legging out a double down the left field line. After Javier Baez grounded out to pitcher Joely Rodriguez, the Phillies intentionally walked Zobrist.

Matt Szczur grounded to second baseman Cesar Hernandez, who got the forceout at second.

However, shortstop Freddy Galvis threw the ball away at first, and Almora chugged all the way home with the winning run.

The victory was the Cubs’ third in a row, and it improved their record to 16-12.

It all started with Almora reading the ball to left for the double.

“You can tell as a hitter when you have a chance to get to second base,” he

As for being in these kinds of situations, Almora doesn’t mind a bit.

“If I’m on base, it means I did something well,” he said. “I just want to help.

In that situation, I wanted to get to second base. When (Szczur) hit the ground-

ball, you have it in the back of your head, ‘What if something happens?’

Szczur’s a great runner. He could beat it out. If the first baseman’s not paying attention, I could score. It was in the back of my head. Luckily, he threw it away. I always try to think ahead of time what’s going on. It’s the same way in the outfield.”

Manager Joe Maddon is aware of Almora’s alertness.

“Albert’s been doing that kind of stuff,” Maddon said. “That’s the kind of stuff we like to do on a nightly basis. He seems to be in the middle of it a lot, with all of these baserunning maneuvers and aggressiveness. Here’s a guy without the greatest speed in the world. I’ve talked about that. But he’s a good base runner, he’s a good outfielder. He runs good routes. All that stuff is pertinent.”

In this back-and-forth game, the Cubs jumped ahead with single runs in the first and second against Phillies starting pitcher Zach Eflin. Cubs starter John Lackey worked five innings, giving up nine hits and three runs. The Phillies went ahead, 4-3, in the top of the eighth.

Miguel Montero tied the game at 4 with a solo homer to center in the bottom of the inning. The ball landed in the basket below the bleachers.

CUBS NOTES

Yankees, familiar faces coming to Wrigley Field

By BRUCE MILES

bmiles@dailyherald.com CHICAGO – It’s a big deal any time the New York Yankees come to town.

It will be even bigger this weekend when the Cubs play them in a threegame interleague series at Wrigley Field.

Yankees closer Aroldis Chapman will get his 2016 World Series ring from the Cubs during a pregame ceremony, and Yankees reliever Adam Warren also will get a ring in perhaps a more low-key moment. Warren spent time with the Cubs last year before being traded back to the Yankees in July for Chapman, who rejoined the Yankees in the winter as a free agent.

Another weekend focus will be former Cubs infielder Starlin Castro, who is on fire for the Yankees with a line of .362/.402/.543 with five homers and 16 RBIs. Castro was a Cub from 2010 through the 2015 season, Maddon’s first as manager of the Cubs. During the 2015 season, Castro lost his shortstop job

to Addison Russell and was benched before finding a home at second base and helping the Cubs to the National League Championship Series.

Maddon said he’s glad Castro is playing well.

“The other day I was watching a game during the day,” Maddon said. “They [tied] a game because Starlin Castro he beat out the back side of a double play.

I was very proud and kind of beaming watching that whole thing. He beat it out, and they rallied.

“He was a great teammate here. I really thought I had a great relationship with him. He never made an excuse, man. He was not an excuse maker. When anything went poorly, he stood tall, I thought. You’ve got to like everything about him, I think. I’m happy for his success. Looking forward to saying hello to him.”

That’s some relief: The Cubs used eight pitchers in Thursday’s 5-4 win

in 13 innings over the Phillies. That included lefty Mike Montgomery, who worked three innings and threw 45 pitches.

The Cubs are trying to stretch Montgomery out to use him as a sixth starter down the line.

Closer Wade Davis pitched a scoreless ninth inning and kept his ERA at 0.00. He extended his scoreless innings streak to 201/3 innings, dating to last season with the Royals.

“His body of work so far has been outstanding,” Maddon said. “It’s just the way he is, also. I think the other guys gain a lot of confidence from watching him do his work and how he does. But having that guy at the end of the game permits you to juggle a little bit prior to that.”

This and that: Kris Bryant had his fifth career game with at least four hits Thursday. He has reached base in 15 consecutive games. … Miguel Montero is 15 for 28 with three homers in his past 11 games. … Reliever Koji Uehara earned his first win with the Cubs.

Scouting report Cubs vs. New York Yankees at Wrigley Field TV: CSN Friday; FOX Saturday; ESPN Sunday Radio: WSCR AM-670 Pitching matchups: The Cubs’ Kyle Hendricks (2-1) vs. Michael Pineda (3-1), 1:20 p.m. Friday; Brett Anderson (2-1) vs. Jordan Montgomery (1-1), 6:15 p.m. Saturday; Jon Lester (1-1) vs. Luis Severino (2-2), 7:08 p.m. Sunday At a glance: The surprising Yankees lead the American League East at 17-9. They had Thursday off. Former Cub Starlin Castro is off to a hot start and a line of .362/.402/.543 with five homers and 16 RBIs. But the big story is Aaron Judge, a 6-foot-7 outfielder. He is at .330/.433/.818 with 13 home runs ant 27 RBIs. Aroldis Chapman, who helped the Cubs win the World Series, is 6 for 6 in saves for the Yankees. Adam Warren, who spent time with the Cubs, also has pitched well out of New York’s bullpen. The Cubs will be making their second straight appearance on ESPN’s “Sunday Night Baseball.”

Next: Colorado Rockies at Coors Field, Monday through Wednesday

The White Sox’s Jose Abreu is congratulated by Avisail Garcia after hitting a home run in the first inning against the Royals on Thursday at Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City, Mo. RBI lead to 23 – have concocted enough mojo to have the Sox playing winning baseball. While the threat of proven veterans such as Holland, Miguel Gonzalez, Todd Frazier, closer David Robertson and perhaps Jose Quintana getting traded in the coming months hangs over them, the Sox are trying to ignore it, believing they can win.

Not that anyone else is convinced, including a general manager who remains committed to his rebuilding plan for sustained success.

“It’s great we’ve started the way we have,” Holland said. “That’s more for us, our enjoyment. We already believe we can do this. We know we’re good. We have to get everyone else on the outside to believe this. Everyone is shocked, the White Sox are in first place.”

At 15-12, they are indeed tied with the Indians. On May 4, it might be more winsome than substantial, but it means enough. Just not enough for GM Rick Hahn to abruptly veer away from his rebuilding plan.

WHITE SOX NOTES

Reliever Jones joins 4 fellow pitchers on DL

By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN

dvanschouwen@suntimes.com

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Right-hander Nate Jones was placed on the 10-day disabled list Thursday with right elbow neuritis, joining Carlos Rodon, James Shields, Zach Putnam and Jake Petricka among White Sox pitchers shelved by injuries.

The Sox also transferred lefthander Rodon to the 60-day disabled list Thursday.

General manager Rick Hahn called Jones’ injury “relatively minor” and said Jones could return in two weeks.

The contract of left-hander David Holmberg was purchased from Triple-A Charlotte to fill Jones’ spot on a staff that, despite the injuries, leads the majors with a 3.19 ERA.

Jones, 31, who had Tommy John surgery in 2014, was 1-0 with a 2.31 ERA in 11 relief appearances this season. He also pitched for Team USA in the World Baseball Classic this spring.

“He’s got what we think is a relatively minor nerve irritation in his forearm,’’ Hahn said. “But he Nate Jones was feeling it down his forearm into his hand, which led to an MRI that diagnosed the issue.

He’s going to progress according to his symptoms.’’

Jones, who hasn’t pitched since April 28 in Detroit, said he pitched through four or five appearances with some soreness.

“But at this time, based on his diagnosis, we are optimistic he could be back pitching in games within the next two weeks,’’ Hahn said.

Holmberg, who pitched to a 1.76 ERA over six games with Charlotte, gave up a run in two-thirds of an inning in Thursday’s 8-3 win.

Rodon throws off mound: Rodon has progressed slowly in Arizona but is getting closer to a rehab assignment, Hahn said Thursday. He threw off a mound for the first time this week since his only start in the Cactus League, Hahn said.

Rodon, 24, has been on the DL since April 2 (retroactive to March 30) with left biceps bursitis.

“We needed a 40-man (roster) spot, and based upon the program we have laid out ahead of him, at this point, we

don’t believe he’s going to be completed with all of his eventual rehab starts

by June 1,” Hahn said.

“We do have a program in place that has the expectation of multiple rehab starts. But again, we don’t have a specific date yet to say he’s going to be pitching for this club on this date yet.”

Frazier scratched: Third baseman Todd Frazier was scratched from the lineup Thursday with back stiffness.

Frazier, who is day to day, said it tightened up in the sixth inning of Wednesday’s 6-1 loss. Matt Davidson played third base and hit a 450-foot homer, his fifth, in Frazier’s place.

“I was hoping it would go away this morning and nothing really got better, so we’ve been doing a lot of [treatment],” Frazier said. “Hopefully, I’ll be back out there tomorrow.”

• Friday, May 5, 2017

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – MLB Network was on the visiting team’s clubhouse TV at Kauffman Stadium on Thursday morning before the White Sox played the Royals, and none of the players sitting nearby seemed interested.

That is, until the question, “Who is the biggest surprise in the AL Central?” perked up a few interested viewers.

Heads turned when the Sox, and their bullpen in particular, were mentioned first.

Whoa, national attention.

Derek Holland yelled something to the effect of, “That’s right!”

Holland then went out and held the Royals to one earned run over 62/3 innings to improve to 3-2 with a 2.02 ERA, and Jose Abreu and Matt Davidson each crushed a home run in the first two innings to provide an early cushion, and the Sox (15-12) breezed to an 8-3 victory to give them a split of a four-game series.

On a day when Nate Jones became the fifth Sox pitcher to go on the disabled list, Holland and the Sox bullpen had their way with the struggling Royals lineup. Anthony Swarzak (0.00 ERA) has retired 30 of the last 31 batters he’s faced, and Tommy Kahnle lowered his ERA to 0.90 with a scoreless ninth.

That caliber of pitching, along with a few other ingredients, such as Avisail Garcia’s hot bat – he drove in two runs with a single to right to raise his club

Tips, tricks for fishing from banks wi.gov/topic/Fishing/lakemichigan/ OutdoorReport.html.

Illinois: The Illinois Department of Natural Resources offers fishing reports on a number of waterways across the state. The fishing reports for lakes, rivers and streams are updated weekly. www.ifishillinois.org/fishing_reports/ fishing_report_selector.php.

OUTDOORS Steve Sarley I received an email from Nick Lindner from the famous Lindner family responsible for so much great fishing information on TV and in print over the years.

Lindner said they were toying with the idea of putting out a considerable amount of content regarding bank fishing. He said they had done some bank fishing pieces over the years, but because a great percentage of fishermen didn’t own boats, they were thinking of doing more pieces from the shore in the future.

Personally, I like the idea. It would be a little odd to watch bank fishing on TV. People are used to seeing the pros catching fish from their boats. It’s true that most fishermen are shore-bound, but we all love to see the top professionals skimming over the water in their big bass boats and deep-V rigs powered by huge motors up to 350 horsepower.

That said, besides getting enjoyment from watching fishing and from living vicariously through top pros, why do we watch TV fishing shows? We do it to learn how to catch more fish and to catch bigger fish, right?

I, like many of you, do a lot of fishing from the banks of our local ponds, lakes and rivers. Why wouldn’t I want to watch a top pro give me hints to help me catch more fish? I’d love it if that happened, and I’d be certain to watch every episode.

I’m certainly not a top pro, but as you can find me on the banks of our local waters quite often, I’d like to offer a few tips on bank fishing.

If we can’t talk about bank fishing now, we probably shouldn’t talk about it at all. This is the time of year when bank fishing is on fire. The average bank fisherman should be able to catch more fish than the guys out in their boats right now.

It makes me laugh to watch people fishing. I see the shore-bound fishermen trying to cast as far as they can out into the middle of the water, to the deepest water they can reach. At the same time, the boaters are casting into the shallows, almost hitting the shoreline with their presentations.

Well, the fish are shallow right now.

From the shoreline, you should be casting perpendicular to the shore. Cast to the left about a foot from the bank a time or two. Then move your casts out about a foot from shore every time you cast. After a few casts, change to the right side. Cover the water closest to the shore. Pay attention to objects and things such as breaklines and drop-offs.

There is no real reason to cast straight

Make long casts so you don’t spook the fish. For that matter, tread lightly as you move from spot to spot. Fish feel the vibrations from footsteps as anglers walk the shoreline. It is a lot better to actually walk up and away from the shoreline and then move right or left before you head down to the shoreline again. That probably sounds like a lot of work, and it truly is. It’s a chore, but it will pay off.

This may sound crazy, but I believe it to be true. I try to always wear neutral-colored clothing when I fish when the fish are shallow and close to shore.

I am fairly certain that they can see a fisherman if he is dressed in an orange and yellow Hawaiian shirt. Maybe they can, and maybe they can’t, but why take a chance of scaring fish away? I believe in playing it safe.

That’s it for now. Put down your paper and get out there to your local lake or pond and do some quality fishing.

Good luck.

FISHING REPORT Northern Illinois: Dave Kranz from

Dave’s Bait, Tackle and Taxidermy in Crystal Lake reports: “The dams at McHenry, Algonquin and Carpentersville are all muddy and high from the recent rains. Something that sends out vibrations would be the best lure to use. Use stinkbait for catfish. McHenry County Conservation Area’s the Hollows has Lake Atwood, and some bass are showing up in the shallows to spawn. Remember, this is a ‘no minnows’ lake, and catch-and-release is practiced.

“Crystal Lake has Vulcan Lakes at the Three Oaks Recreation area, and this is also a catch-and-release and ‘no minnows’ lake, but good bass fishing can be had here on artificial lures.

Drop shot a Robo Worm or fish a Defender jig for good results.” For info on northern Illinois fishing, call 815-455-

2040 for an updated report.

Fox Chain O’ Lakes: Chris Taurisano of T-Bone Guide Service (www. tboneguideservice.com – 630-330-0090) sends word, “Fishing has been very good. Walleyes are on the bite and a lot of fish are being caught. Crappies and gills are in the shallows and good numbers and size are available. The white bass and yellow bass are still spawning and active on most offerings.”

As of Wednesday, The Lower Fox River, Upper Fox River and the entire Chain O’ Lakes were deemed to be “no wake” areas for now. With our unpredictable weather, you should always get up-to-the-minute water conditions on the Fox Chain and Fox River. Spring rains can change water conditions in a matter of hours. Go to www.foxwaterway.state.il.us or call 847-587-8540.

Lake Michigan: The Lake Michigan Fishing Report is provided by Caleb Weiner of Migrator Charters – 815-3388093. “Fishing has continued to be good out of North Point Marina. The fish have moved out of the shallow water with all the north and east winds that we have had. Numbers of Coho salmon, lake trout and the occasional steelhead can be caught in 150 to 250 feet of water.

Moonshine Lures’ Wonderbread, Orange Flounder and Hot Lips have been the best for the steelhead. The lake trout have been hitting the 11-inch white paddles with Spin-N-Glo’s down anywhere from 100 to 230 feet down.

Along with the deep water bite, good numbers of brown trout have been showing up along the shoreline. Small spoons and even Coho rigs (little red dodgers and a peanut fly) have been working to catch the browns.”

Wisconsin: You can call Wisconsin’s Lake Michigan Fishing Hotline at 414-382-7920 to hear the latest fishing information for Lake Michigan and its tributaries. Excellent Wisconsin Lake Michigan fishing is posted at dnr.

Fishing Club is dedicated to promoting sport fishing for all species on Geneva Lake. The club has season-long outings and contests on Geneva. At the monthly meetings, they host speakers that include expert fishing and electronics professionals. They meet at Cabela’s on the second Wednesday of the month from March through November. They welcome all – men, women and youth.

At 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, (note the new start time) the group meets at Cabela’s at 5225 Prairie Stone Parkway in Hoffman Estates. The speaker will be an area favorite, Mike Norris. His subject will be “Learning About Big Green Lake – A Remarkable Deep Clear Water Fishing Opportunity.”

Muskie tournament results: A field of 110 two-man teams competed in the Professional Musky Tournament Trail event April 29 and 30 on Cave Run Lake in Morehead, Kentucky. It was a tough bite because of the weather, and only 33 muskies were caught.

Longtime and well-known Cave Run muskie guides Tony Grant and Gregg Thomas caught two muskies to win the Vitaminerals Spring Shootout.

Grant and Thomas – popular speakers in northern Illinois in the offseason – have won several PMTT tournaments over the years but never on their home waters. The second fish of the pair that Grant and Thomas weighed-in was a monster of 481/4 inches that also got the pair the check for the biggest fish.

In second place were Jeremy Burris of Elgin and Scott Popowski of South Elgin.

Morel mushrooms: This was a totally screwed-up mushroom season because of the odd weather patterns. This is probably the last two or three days for us to be able to find any decent ones.

With some sun Friday, a bunch should pop out of the ground, and the little ones out there might grow a couple of inches. Remember that the south-facing side of hills and around recently dying and dead elm trees are the most likely spots, but these delicious fungi can appear just about anywhere.

Long gave Glennon pep talk after draft

Kyle Long was sitting at the Old Orchard Shake Shack, watching the first night of the NFL draft on TV with a buddy.

When he saw the Bears traded four draft picks for North Carolina quarterback Mitch Trubisky, his mind first turned to Mike Glennon, who had stayed at the guard’s house the week before. In the moment, Long, perhaps the team’s most vocal offensive leader, said he was “getting ready to figure out how to handle all that stuff.”

He settled on something before the next time he saw Glennon, who had signed a three-year, $45 million deal with the Bears in March.

“I saw Glennon, and I said, ‘Dude, there’s a reason you’re here,’ ” he said. “ ‘That’s all I can say. They don’t bring people in and pay them that kind of money for nothing. “ ‘Get your competitive shoes on and get ready to kick some [butt].’ ” Long, who started for less than a season at Oregon, sees a kindred career in Trubisky, who had 13 starts at UNC. “As is well-documented, Mitch doesn’t have a very long career behind him – which sounds familiar,” he said.

“We’re an equal-opportunity employer.

Competition is always welcome.”

Long is channeling that competitiveness in his return from December right ankle surgery. He’s running on an underground treadmill but hasn’t participated in field sessions during the Bears’ offseason program.

He wouldn’t give a percentage to describe his recovery – “The target is to feel better tomorrow than I did today,” he said – or say whether he’d be ready by training camp.

“The goal is Week 1,” said Long, who was at a North Riverside Raising Cane’s, where he received two donations for the charity of his choosing, Blessings in a Backpack. “Until further notice, I will be out there Week 1.”

He is about 15 pounds away from his goal weight of 325 after losing 45 pounds after a bad reaction to post-surgery medication. He was down to about 270 – his lightest weight since he was 16 – and said he looked sick.

“I had never been injured or on pain medication, any of that kind of thing, so my body didn’t know how to respond,” he said. “I didn’t eat; I didn’t sleep very well.”

Long doesn’t take Advil or Tylenol during the season – or even tape up his ankles during the week. He chose to bypass a planned surgery on his torn

“I saw (QB Mike) Glennon, and I said, ‘Dude, there’s a reason you’re here. That’s all I Kyle Long can say. They don’t bring people in and pay them that kind of money for nothing.’ ” Kyle Long Bears guard

left shoulder labrum, with general manager Ryan Pace’s blessing – he didn’t want to be in a sling and was uncomfortable with dealing with painkillers again.

“You become dependent on that stuff, and I feel, unfortunately, in the NFL a lot of that stuff is kinda commonplace,” he said. “I’d rather be a beacon of hope for kids who want to do it the natural way. I eat peanut butter, I get my sleep at night, and I wake up and kick butt.”

Long has new appreciation for his health. He eats a big breakfast every morning, he said, and his appetite takes off from there. His shoulder injury has “healed on its own terms,” he said; he’s able to lift weights at Halas Hall every day.

For the first time since he joined the Bears, Long will be blocking for a different Week 1 starting quarterback.

Might the old one, Jay Cutler, be calling his games?

Long spent last weekend with Cutler and his family before they moved to Nashville. He said his friend would do well as a TV analyst. Still, he wouldn’t write off his football career.

“I know the guy can play – it’s just whether or not he wants to,” Long said.

As for the right situation, Long said circumstances can change with quarterbacks around the league.

“As we’ve seen, the offseason’s a long, long thing,” he said. “And you never know who’s going to need something.”
