TODAY’S TALKER

Trump welcomes some unions over others at the White House

By LAURIE KELLMAN The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump said labor unions have an open door to his White House, but so far, he’s holding the door a little more ajar for some organizations than others.

Trump has put out the welcome mat for the nation’s construction trades, with whom he’s had relationships during decades of building office towers and hotels. Also invited in have been auto, steel and coal workers who backed him during the 2016 election.

But there’s been no White House invitation for other unions representing the sprawling but shrinking pool of 14.6 million workers who collectively bargain with employers in the labor movement.

“You can tell Congress that America’s building trades and its president are very much united,” Trump told North America’s Building Trade Unions, even as he pledged in the same speech, “America’s labor leaders will always find an open door with Donald Trump.”

But he has not courted all union leaders or advocated for all labor priorities. For example, he’s against a $15-an-hour minimum wage and has let linger a rule expanding overtime pay.

Much as President Ronald Reagan did, Trump is not so much pursuing a labor agenda but one that appeals to those who share his “Buy American, Hire American” priorities and happen to be union members.

“Trump is clearly working to be the blue collar president,” said F. Vincent Vernuccio, director of labor policy at the center-right nonprofit Mackinac Center for Public Policy in Michigan.

“He’s trying to bring back the Reagan labor coalition and get the Blue Dog Democrats back.”

The White House said the president is “open to meeting with various individuals and groups on how to improve the lives of all Americans.”

But even among unions with most-favored status, there’s some skepticism about whether he’s for workers or just the executives who hire them.

Trump got some boos and hisses during his address to the building trades union. And Chuck Jones, president of United Steelworkers Local 1999, with whom Trump feuded, raises an eyebrow at the talk coming from the White House.

“I don’t think from our perspective, he’s a friend of the working class person,” Jones said, noting that Trump’s tax plan would benefit the president himself, and that Trump campaigned

WHERE IT’S AT

“I don’t think from our perspective, he’s a friend of the working class person. Trump always had some kind of relationship with the building trades.

But for regular manufacturing? This is not a good time for working people.”

Chuck Jones

President of United Steelworkers Local 1999

on “getting rid” of a long-standing free trade deal with Canada and Mexico. “Trump always had some kind of relationship with the building trades. But for regular manufacturing? This is not a good time for working people.”

The 2016 election suggests labor is fertile political ground for Trump. Exit polls showed he pulled within 8 percentage points of Democrat Hillary Clinton among union members – the best showing for any GOP nominee since Reagan in 1984.

During his first 100 days, Trump has tried to appeal to those frustrated by seeing U.S. jobs go overseas. For example, he scrapped U.S. plans to participate in an Asia-Pacific trade pact and belittled the North American Free Trade Agreement, although he backed away from a campaign pledge to withdraw from it.

He’s taken to Twitter to criticize American companies with plans to move some operations to other countries and threatened to tax any products they tried to sell in the U.S. He’s pushed a reluctant Republican-controlled Congress to pay for a $1 trillion rebuilding of the nation’s roads and bridges, and he’s green-lighted the Keystone XL pipeline.

But while some unions have received the red carpet treatment, others have been largely ignored at the White House.

Take teachers unions, traditional allies of Democrats. While Education Secretary Betsy DeVos joined Trump for White House sessions with teachers and other educators, neither of the two big teachers unions – the National Education Association and the American Federation of Teachers – was invited. DeVos did accept an invitation from AFT President Randi Weingarten to tour a school in Ohio.

PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

Young Prairie Ridge entrepreneurs preparing their pitches for business course

By KEVIN P. CRAVER

kcraver@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – You could almost hear the ka-chinking of money and the clicking of online shoppers whispering through the business incubator lab of Prairie Ridge High School on Thursday afternoon.

The school’s first INCubator Edu course, aimed at teaching students entrepreneurship by having them team up to fully develop their own product or service, is wrapping up for the school year. Five of the 10 student groups will be chosen to pitch their business proposal to the public, and perhaps potential investors.

But students Joey Pinsky, David Vogt and Sam Price already are making money through their online new and slightly used sporting equipment

business, Equipment Lodge. The site, at www.equipmentlodge.com, already had made some sales, and the three were huddled in a side conference room with business mentor Mike Domek to prepare both an email blast and a Google Ads campaign to let people know.

“We’re trying to be like a Play It Again Sports, but a little cheaper and a little higher quality,” Pinsky said.

The sports equipment franchise doesn’t sell goods online – a fact that the three entrepreneurs discovered and want to exploit.

For the team of Emmanuel Ebirim, Bryce Thelander and Sydney Onoyan, tapping into the market of their fellow college-bound students – especially those who want to have a layer between their feet and communal college showers – is lucrative.

If you go n WHAT: Business incubator “pitch night” n WHEN: 5:30 p.m. showcase, 6:30 p.m. formal pitches May 22 n WHERE: Prairie Ridge High School auditorium Dubbed Foot Fresh, the trio developed a portable shower mat small enough to fit in any shower stall that can be deployed and removed without having to touch the surface that makes contact with the tile. Their market research concluded that students don’t relish wearing flip-flops to walk into “dirty and gross” shower floors, said Ebirim, who will be attending Washington University in St. Louis this fall.

“I think we have a strong product

and such a big market. You can sell it at any college, really,” he said.

The class, taught by business teacher Bryan Peckhart, gave students the school year to create a product or service and teach them about product planning, finances, legal issues, sales and marketing. Each team is paired with a mentor who has made it in business to help them along. The class meets in a high-tech and professional-looking 1,350-square-foot lab opened up at the start of the school year through donations from Sage Products and The Domek Group.

Both Peckhart and Department Chair Kevin Koeppen said that the enthusiasm and ingenuity of the students has been something to behold.

District 300 Foundation honors 2017 educator, employee of the year

By NATE LINHART

nlinhart@shawmedia.com ALGONQUIN – The Community School District 300 Foundation for Educational Excellence announced the 2017 D-300 Distinguished Educator and Employee of the Year at its annual awards celebration in April.

This year’s award recipients were Maria Rim, a social worker at Lakewood Elementary School, and Sean Hough, a physical education teacher at Gilberts Elementary School.

The event honored 26 individuals including teachers and school employees who were nominated by each of the district’s schools. Nominees included Britt Kotecki, a social worker at Algonquin Middle School; Joseph Benoit, a physical education teacher at Jacobs High School; Janine Haugen, a special education teacher at Lake in the Hills Elementary School; and Susan Bultman, an instructional media paraprofessional at Lincoln Prairie Elementary School.

“[Maria] makes students feel cared for and builds connections with students that would otherwise not have them. And she helps teachers problem-solve different behavioral strategies to implement in the classroom with their students.”

Brittany Porsche Lakewood principal

Rim, who has worked for the district for 17 years, received the Employee of the Year award for her efforts in co-teaching classroom lessons and helping to coordinate the Kids Hope Mentoring program, which helps students who lack positive influences in their lives. “[Maria] makes students feel cared for and builds connections with students that would otherwise not have them,” Lakewood Principal Brittany Porsche said. “And she helps teachers problem-solve different behavioral strategies to implement in the classroom with their students.”

Hough, who has been with the district for 21 years, was recommended for regularly incorporating teamwork, inspiring fitness and engaging students. Hough also serves on the school’s Positive Behavior Intervention Supports, Safety and Relay for Life teams and facilitates the PTO’s Hoops for Health fundraiser.

Continued from page A2 “Trump in New York was never involved in education. He was a blank slate on education,” Weingarten said.

“The big test for him even on infrastructure is: Is he going to stop the Republicans in Congress from trying to take out the protections for prevailing wage,” she said. “Is he actually going to have enough money in there for projects?”

Trump is picking and choosing among labor unions at a vulnerable time for the movement in American politics. Union membership declined 240,000 in one year to 10.7 percent of the workforce in 2016, about half as much as when the Census Bureau began collecting such statistics in 1983.

“There are some unions that, in fact, he has gone after. Teachers come to mind.

Government employees come to mind,” said the AFL-CIO’s Richard Trumka, referring to the president’s pledges to close or slash spending for the Department of Education and efforts to shrink the federal workforce.

Trump is starting with what he knows, and where labor is concerned, that means building trades go to the top

“Did you ever think you’d see a president who knows how much concrete and rebar you can lay down in a single day?” he said at their conference last month.

“We’re a nation of builders, and it was about time we had a builder in the White

House.”

This president, said Gary N. Chaison, a labor historian at Clark University, “knows very well from his old days working in the hotel industry in Manhattan that it’s important to get along with the construction unions.”

McHenry bowler rolls consecutive perfect games

By NATE LINHART

nlinhart@shawmedia.com JOHNSBURG – A perfect game isn’t an easy feat to accomplish, even for professional bowlers. With one being so hard as it is, many have failed to duplicate the original performance and score perfect games back to back.

However, that dream recently became a reality for Chuck Toohey, who is not a professional, but a truck driver from Chuck McHenry.

Toohey Most Sundays, Toohey goes bowling with his wife, Leeann, and their friend at Raymond’s Bowl & Entertainment Center in Johnsburg. But on April 30, something unexpected happened. After bowling a 300 his first game, Toohey said he couldn’t believe it when he also bowled a 300 the game after. Bowling two perfect games in a row requires a bowler to

“It was really exciting to see. I don’t know if there has been any higher scores in Lake or McHenry counties in a three-game span.”

Joe Kuna

Raymond’s Bowl & Entertainment Center in Johnsburg manager throw 24 straight strikes.

“The first one didn’t phase me a whole lot, because I’ve thrown 300s before, but I’ve never thrown one back to back before now,” Toohey said. “It didn’t really hit me until I threw the second one. That’s when it felt surreal.”

The 51-year-old McHenry resident’s remarkable performance didn’t end there. In his third game, Toohey came close to his third consecutive 300, finishing with a 279.

“On the first frame of Game 3, I left a 10 pin in the first frame, a four pin in the second frame and then got all strikes the rest of the way,” Toohey said. “So two spares and then the strikes came back.

Those first two frames were the only two bad shots I threw, I think, because I was still hyped up from the consecutive 300s.”

Toohey said this was his new high score for three consecutive games, and the two 300s were Nos. 12 and 13 for him.

“I always try to do the best I can,” Toohey said. “If the pins fall, they fall; if not, then I have to make adjustments.”

Toohey said he bowls twice a week – Sundays and Tuesdays – and had been averaging 223 a game. But since he got a new Storm Code Black bowling ball about a month ago, his average has been about 240.

“It was really exciting to see,” Raymond’s Bowl manager Joe Kuna said. “I don’t know if there has been any higher scores in Lake or McHenry counties in a three-game span.”

Garden plots are available on a firstcome, first-served basis with rental fees ranging from $42 to $75 for the season. Rentals are taken at the Cary Park District Community Center, 255 Briargate Road, Cary.

The Cary Park District also hosts six demonstration gardens at Hoffman Park.

For information on the community garden guidelines for use or to volunteer at the demonstration gardens, contact the Cary Park District at 847639-6100 or visit carypark.com.

Mike Domek,

business mentor and founder of TicketsNow

H. Rick Bamman – hbamman@shawmedia.com

• BUSINESS INCUBATOR Continued from page A3

talked to the groups as they prepared to make their pitches later this week to a panel of business mentors, akin to the TV show “Shark Tank,” which will select five of them to advance to a community “pitch night” May 22 – which is open to the public – and maybe, just maybe, someone willing to invest.

“They get the opportunity to present to a packed house,” Peckhart said.

More importantly, mentor J.D. Willis said, the students get a feel for the hard work required to be an entrepreneur. Willis, who owns the ChickFil-A in Crystal Lake, mentors the

Foot Fresh team.

“I think they learn how difficult it is, and that you just have to stick with it. Perspiration is more important than inspiration,” Willis said.

Domek, who founded TicketsNow in 1999 and sold it about a decade later to Ticketmaster for $265 million, said he would like to get a business incubator class set up in every high school in McHenry County. He also mentors the program at Woodstock High School.

Marian Central Catholic High School is starting one in the fall.

“Every entrepreneur that I know who has been a part of this program says that they wished they had access to it when they were starting out,” Domek said.

HOROSCOPE

By EUGENIA LAST

Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – Stay focused on what’s important to you this year. Refuse to let outside influences intrude on your agenda. Be bold, but don’t feel the need to take control or be responsible for others. Be cautious while traveling or dealing with official business or foreign entities.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Do your own thing and protect against anyone or anything that threatens you or your success. Subtle changes will help bolster your confidence and improve your position.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Don’t wait for someone to intervene in a situation or put pressure on you. Make up your mind and move in a direction

that will help you live life your way.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Say little and do a lot.

Work quietly on your own and accomplish your goals. Don’t let anyone meddle in your affairs or take advantage of your kindheartedness.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – An open mind and a warm-hearted approach to life and the people you encounter will help you keep bullies at arm’s length. Greater involvement in peace and environmental organizations is favored.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Contracts, agreements and home improvements will spring up out of necessity. An unexpected expense should be dealt with smartly. Don’t overspend when you can find a way to cut corners and save.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Proceed with caution when dealing with domestic problems.

Someone will be erratic and will overreact without notice. Choose your words wisely, and exude diplomacy. Keep the peace and make love, not war.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – There will be plenty of unspoken words that will keep you in the dark. When dealing with contractual, financial and health issues, ask questions that are pertinent and will clear up confusion.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Get out and engage in things you believe in and enjoy doing.

Set a schedule that includes what motivates you, and start living life to its fullest.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – When dealing with institutions or government agencies or traveling to foreign countries, you should be cautious. Overreacting will not work out well.

Sticking close to home and tidying up loose ends is a better alternative.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Make good and uphold an old promise you made to yourself or someone from your past. Attending a reunion or repaying an old debt will make you feel good.

Romance is highlighted.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – If you are honest about the past, it will be easier to face the future. Reconnecting with someone will have an impact on your life. A healthy sense of compromise will improve important relationships.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Keep a steady pace and an eye on what you must accomplish.

Letting personal matters deter you from taking care of your work responsibilities will leave you in an awkward position.

Bobsledder Steven Holcomb, 37, found dead

By TIM REYNOLDS

The Associated Press

Steven Holcomb was simultaneously ordinary and remarkable.

America’s best bobsled pilot was a self-described computer geek who would rub elbows with Hollywood stars. He was never exactly in the best of shape, yet was a world-class athlete.

He attempted suicide years ago, then revealed his story with hopes of Steven helping others. He was Holcomb a man who nearly went blind, then became an Olympic gold medalist.

His life was the epitome of a bobsled race, filled with twists and turns.

It came to a most unexpected end Saturday in Lake Placid, New York, when he was found dead in his room at the Olympic Training Center – sending shock waves through the U.S. Olympic community, and devastating those who had known Holcomb for the entirety of his two-decade career in sliding.

The three-time Olympian, threetime Olympic medalist and five-time world champion was 37.

“The only reason why the USA is in any conversation in the sport of bobsled is because of Steve Holcomb,” said U.S. bobsled pilot Nick Cunningham, who roomed next to Holcomb in Lake Placid. “He was the face of our team.

He was the face of our sport. We all emulated him. Every driver in the world watched him, because he was that good at what he did. It’s a huge loss, huge loss, not just for our team but for the entire bobsled community.”

No cause of death was immediately announced. However, officials said there were no indications of foul play after the preliminary parts of an ongoing investigation were completed.

USA Bobsled and Skeleton said it was believed Holcomb died in his sleep.

An autopsy was scheduled for Sunday. Funeral arrangements are expected to be finalized in the coming days.

“USA Bobsled and Skeleton is a family, and right now we are trying to come to grips with the loss of our teammate, our brother and our friend,” federation CEO Darrin Steele said.

Holcomb was a native of Park City, Utah, and his signature moment came at the 2010 Vancouver Games when he piloted his four-man sled to a win that snapped a 62-year gold-medal drought for the U.S. in bobsled’s signature race.

Holcomb also drove to bronze medals in both two- and four-man events at the Sochi Games in 2014, and was expected to be part of the 2018 U.S. Olympic team headed to the Pyeongchang Games.

“The entire Olympic family is shocked and saddened by the incredibly tragic loss today of Steven Holcomb,” U.S. Olympic Committee CEO Scott Blackmun said. “Steve was a tremendous athlete and even better person, and his perseverance and achievements were an inspiration to us all. Our thoughts and prayers are with Steve’s family and the entire bobsledding community.”

Holcomb was still one of the world’s elite drivers, finishing second on the World Cup circuit in two-man points and third in four-man points this past season.

The final victory of his career was last December in Lake Placid. He won 60 World Cup medals in his career, 10 more at the world championships and three in the Olympics, making him one of the most decorated pilots in the world.

“You will be loved, missed and remembered forever,” U.S. women’s pilot Jamie Greubel Poser wrote on Twitter.

SPRINGFIELD – Protestors chained themselves together on the Illinois Capitol steps. Some on hunger strikes, having gone a month without food, sat inside under the dome. Others staged a House-floor sit-in, forming their hands into illuminati pyramids signifying the few at the top commanding the many at the bottom.

And when the civil disobedience dissolved on June 30, 1982, without legislative action, the Equal Rights Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was presumed dead.

But 45 years after Congress approved the ERA and sent it to the states for rati-

Illinois schools opt for virtual summer learning programs

WESTMONT – Some Illinois school districts are revamping their summer school programs this year with virtual programs designed to allow students to complete lessons outside of the classroom.

But education experts are worried that online learning programs aren’t the best approach for younger students, the Chicago Tribune reported. They are questioning whether the move is because of the school districts’ desire to cut costs and redirect money at a time when the state is $13 billion behind in allocating school funds due to the budget impasse.

“They’re thinking it’s cost-effective, but it may not be learning-effective,” said Rena Shifflet, an associate professor at Illinois State University’s School of Teaching and Learning. “Illinois has kind of backed school districts into a corner. They’re doing the most with what they have.”

The Maercker School District opted for the program because of fewer students enrolling in its summer programs because of transportation issues and kids’ busy summer schedules.

“We felt that this was a better way to engage more students,” said Cathy Fisher, director of teaching and learning for Maercker School District 60 in Westmont

fication, Illinois is back at the center of a national movement to revive the issue.

An Illinois Senate committee approved the ERA this month, setting up a floor vote not yet scheduled.

Here are some questions and answers about the topic: Q: What is the ERA? A: The Equal Rights Amendment would prohibit the denial of any civil right on the basis of sex. With the 1920 approval of women’s suffrage in the 19th Amendment, some feminists thought the struggle was over. Others pushed on and introduced the first ERA in 1923.

Congress finally adopted it in 1972 and set a seven-year deadline, later extended to June 30, 1982, for three-quarters, or 38, of the states to assent.

Gang helped investigators in officers’ shooting

CHICAGO – Chicago police said two plainclothes officers shot last week were mistaken for rival street-gang members and that other gang members cooperated with police when that became clear.

Chicago Police Commander Brendan Deenihan spoke to reporters Sunday about the South Side shooting.

Deenihan said several La Raza gang members helped identify a driver and a shooter who opened fire from a van Tuesday. He said they knew it was “a different game” once they realized police, not rivals, were shot as they sat in an unmarked car.

Police on Saturday announced attempted murder charges against the alleged driver, 18-year-old Angel Gomez. The shooter is still being sought.

One officer was shot in the arm and hip and the other in the back. They’ve both been released from hospital.

Chicago U.S. appeals court considers TV coverage

CHICAGO – A Chicago-based federal appeals court is looking into allowing TV cameras to cover some of its proceedings.

The Chicago Daily Law Bulletin has reported that the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals could join state high courts and several federal appellate courts in permitting live broadcasts.

Chief Judge Diane Wood addressed the issue last week at a 7th Circuit conference in Indianapolis. The circuit includes

Q: How did Illinois End up in the spotlight?

A: In fewer than five years after congressional approval, 35 states signed on to ERA. But by the mid-’70s, a conservative backlash began, led by the late Phyllis Schlafly, a constitutional lawyer who argued that ERA would lead to single-sex restrooms, same-sex marriage, the end of alimony and the tendency for women to get custody of children in divorce, and the drafting of women into combat. As the only northern industrial state not to have ratified it, Illinois became a battleground, ending in weeks of civil disobedience in June 1982 as the clock ticked down.

Q: Is ERA relevant today?

A: An ERA would likely put gender

Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin.

In a speech, she cited the experience of the California-based 9th Circuit. It already televises oral arguments.

There were fears lawyers and judges might “grandstand” for cameras. But Wood says that “just hasn’t happened.”

Wood says a court committee will considered setting up a pilot TV-camera program. The 7th Circuit already records oral arguments and releases the audio hours later.

History museum to honor designer Carolina Herrera

CHICAGO – The Costume Council of the Chicago History Museum is honoring fashion designer Carolina Herrera .

The 78-year-old Venezuelan-American designer will receive the museum’s Designer of Excellence Award on May 15 in Chicago.

The museum’s council gives the award to designers who it says have “indelibly left their mark on the fashion world.”

Past recipients include Bob Mackie, Sonia Rykiel and Geoffrey Beene.

Herrera’s first ready-to-wear collection debuted in 1981 and she opened a New York business shortly afterward. Celebrities like Renee Zellweger and Reese Witherspoon have worn her designs along with first ladies like Michelle Obama and Laura Bush.

The council maintains a costume collection and fashion artifacts, including items like Michael Jordan’s basketball uniform, gospel singer Mahalia Jackson’s choir robe and pieces owned by Abraham Lincoln.

in the same legal class as race, national origin, religion and alienage. Courts apply the 14th Amendment’s equal protection clause more closely to these “suspect classifications,” which they have determined are more likely to face discrimination. So women would have fewer legal stumbling blocks to maneuver when seeking discrimination remedies, said Amy Jo Conroy of the American Association of University Women.

But opponents contend women would lose “carve-out” legal interpretations because of biological differences with men. For example, pregnant women would lose benefit of Illinois law providing more workplace rest periods, said Elise Bouc, state chairwoman of Illinois Stop ERA.

4 killed when car collides head-on with Chicago bus

CHICAGO – Four people were killed when the car they were in collided head-on early Sunday with a Chicago city bus, police said.

The car, which was speeding, hit a parked vehicle before it veered out of control into the oncoming Chicago Transit Authority bus at around 6 a.m. on the city’s west side, said Officer Michelle Tannehill, a police spokeswoman.

People in the East Garfield Park neighborhood rushed to the scene and tried to pull victims out of the car, but they couldn’t because smoke and flames around the car were too intense, witness Malinda Demery told reporters.

“We had to get them out. They were pinned inside there,” Commander Curtis Hudson, with the Chicago Fire Department, said later.

Television footage showed the twisted wreckage of the car in the middle of the street in front of the No. 20 CTA bus, which appeared largely intact.

The bus driver and four passengers were taken to hospitals with non-life threatening injuries, another police spokesman, Officer Michael Carroll, said later Sunday.

There were no other car passengers, he said. Police did not immediately release the identities of those who died.

The Chicago Tribune and Sun-Times cited police as saying they were all in their 20s.

The police department’s major accident unit and the CTA were investigating the crash.

In this photo released by the Nigeria State House, Nigeria President, Muhammadu Buhari (center) meets with Chibok school girls recently freed from Nigeria Extremist captivity in Abuja, Nigeria, Sunday. Five Boko Haram commanders were released in exchange for the freedom of 82 Chibok schoolgirls kidnapped by the extremist group three years ago, a Nigerian government official said Sunday.

Nigeria leader meets Chibok girls, leaves for medical trip

By BASHIR ADIGUN The Associated Press

ABUJA, Nigeria – Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari expressed joy Sunday night at meeting with the 82 Chibok schoolgirls newly freed from Boko Haram extremists – then jolted the country by announcing he was leaving for London immediately for medical checkups as fears for his health continue.

“We’ve always made it clear that we will do everything in our power to ensure the freedom & safe return of our daughters” and all captives of Boko Haram, Buhari said on his Twitter account.

Minutes later, the 74-year-old president startled Africa’s most populous nation with the news of his departure. Buhari, who has missed three straight weekly Cabinet meetings, spent a month and a half in London on medical leave earlier this year and said he’d never been as sick in his life. The exact nature of his illness remained unclear.

“There is no cause for worry” about this latest medical leave, a statement from his office said, adding that the length of Buhari’s stay in London will be determined by his doctors.

Photos released by the government showed the rail-thin president standing and addressing the Chibok schoolgirls at his official residence Sunday evening, a day after their release.

“The president was delighted to receive them, and he promised that all that is needed

to be done to reintegrate them into the society will be done,” adviser Femi Adesina said. “He promised that the presidency will personally supervise their rehabilitation.”

The young women have been handed over to government officials who will supervise their re-entry into society, Adesina said. The International Committee of the Red Cross, which helped negotiate the girls’ release along with the Swiss government, said they would be reunited with their families soon.

Five Boko Haram commanders were released in exchange for the girls’ freedom, a Nigerian government official said Sunday. The official spoke on condition of anonymity, as he was not authorized to speak to reporters on the matter. Neither Nigeria’s government nor Boko Haram, which has links to the Islamic State group, gave details about the exchange.

Parents of the schoolgirls were waiting for a government list of names of those who had been freed.

Some parents of the kidnapped girls gathered in the capital, Abuja, to celebrate the release, while others expressed anxiety over the fate of the 113 girls who remain missing after the mass abduction from a Chibok boarding school in 2014.

The Rev. Enoch Mark, whose two daughters have been among the missing, was still awaiting word if they were among those freed.

He emphasized that he considered all 82 of the girls to be his daughters “because most of them worship in my church.”

French put pro-EU Macron into presidency, dash Le Pen hopes

By JOHN LEICESTER and SYLVIE CORBET The Associated Press

PARIS – Ripping up France’s political map, French voters elected independent centrist Emmanuel Macron as the country’s youngest president Sunday, delivering a resounding victory to the unabashedly pro-European former investment banker and dashing the populist dream of far-right rival Marine Le Pen. Macron, who had never run for office before, celebrated with thousands of jubilant, flag-waving supporters outside the Louvre Museum in Paris on Sunday night.

The European anthem “Ode to Joy” played as he strode out to address the swelling crowd.

“France has won!” he said. “Everyone said it was impossible. But they do not know France!”

Marine Le Pen, his far-right opponent in the runoff, quickly called the 39-year-old Macron to concede after voters rejected her “French-first” nationalism by a large margin. Le Pen’s performance punctured her hopes that the populist wave which swept Donald Trump into the White House and led Britain to vote to leave the EU would also carry her to France’s presidential Elysee Palace.

Macron told the Louvre crowd that the Le Pen vote was one of “anger, disarray.”

“I will do everything in the five years to come so there is no more reason to vote for the extremes,” he said.

Earlier, in a solemn televised victory speech, Macron vowed to heal the social divisions exposed by France’s acrimonious election campaign.

“I know the divisions in our nation that led some to extreme votes. I respect them,” he declared, unsmiling. “I know the anger, the anxiety, the doubts that a large number of you also expressed. It is my responsibility to hear them.”

The result wasn’t close: With about 90 percent of votes counted, Macron had 64 percent support. Le Pen had 36 percent – about double what Jean-Marie Le Pen, her father and co-founder of their National Front party, achieved at the same stage in the 2002 presidential election.

Macron’s victory strengthens France’s place as a central pillar of the European Union, and marked the third time in six months – following elections in Austria and the Netherlands – that European voters shot down far-right populists who wanted to restore borders across Europe. The election of a French president who champions European

French President-elect Emmanuel Macron gestures during a victory celebration outside the Louvre museum in Paris, France, Sunday. Speaking to thousands of supporters from the Louvre Museum’s courtyard, Macron said that France is facing an “immense task” to rebuild European unity, fix the economy and ensure security against extremist threats. unity also could strengthen the EU’s hand in its complex divorce proceedings with Britain.

Parisians lined the streets outside Macron’s campaign headquarters to see his motorcade whisk him away to the Louvre party. His wife, Brigitte, joined him on stage after his address.

Macron said he understood that some voters backed him reluctantly, simply to keep out Le Pen and her National Front party, which has a long history of anti-Semitism and racism.

“I know that this is not a blank check,” he said. “I know about our disagreements. I will respect them.”

After the most closely watched and unpredictable French presidential campaign in recent memory, many voters rejected the runoff choices altogether – casting blank or spoiled ballots in record numbers Sunday. Police sprayed tear gas and detained dozens of protesters holding running demonstrations through eastern Paris after the election results came out.

Congratulatory messages poured in from abroad. Trump tweeted congratulations on what he called Macron’s “big win” and said he looked forward to working with the new French leader. Macron has said he wants continued intelligence-sharing with the United States and cooperation at the United Nations and hopes to persuade Trump not to pull the U.S. out of a global accord fighting climate change.

Germany’s foreign minister, Sigmar Gabriel, laced his welcome for Macron

with a warning to the French, saying: “If he fails, in five years Mrs. Le Pen will be president and the European project will go to the dogs.”

Macron becomes not only France’s youngest-ever president but also one of its most unlikely. Until now, modern France had been governed either by the Socialists or the conservatives, but both of their candidates were eliminated before the runoff.

“France has sent an incredible message to itself, to Europe and the world,” said Macron ally Francois Bayrou, tipped among his possible choices for prime minister.

Unknown to voters before his turbulent 2014-16 tenure as France’s pro-business economy minister, Macron took a giant gamble by quitting Socialist President Francois Hollande’s government to run as an independent. His startup political movement – optimistically named “En Marche! (In Motion)” – caught fire in just one year, harnessing voters’ hunger for new faces and new ideas.

“I’m so happy, it feels so good! I lived the election of Donald Trump in New York, and now finally, after Brexit, after Trump, populism has been beaten in France,” Macron supporter Pierre-Yves Colinet said at the Louvre party. “Today, I’m proud to be French.”

Despite her loss, Le Pen’s advancement to the presidential runoff for the first time marked a breakthrough for the 48-year-old and underscored a growing acceptance of her anti-immigration, France-first nationalism.

WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump is offering praise and congratulations to centrist Emmanuel Macron, who was elected as France’s youngest president ever.

Trump described Macron’s victory over far-right opponent Marine Le Pen in the French presidential runoff as a “big win.” In a tweet Sunday, Trump says he’s looking forward to working with Macron, but did not immediately extend an invitation for him to visit the White House.

Trump tweeted: “Congratulations to Emmanuel Macron on his big win today as the next President of France. I look very much forward to working with him.”

A White House statement cited the 39-year-old Macron and the French people for “their successful presidential election” and said the United States looks forward to “continuing our close relationship with the French government.”

Trump had not expressed support for either candidate in France’s election, although he predicted last month that an attack on police officers in Paris could help Le Pen because she is “the strongest on borders.” French voters on Sunday ultimately rejected her populist wave of “French-first” nationalism by a large margin, in which Le Pen had threatened to leave the European Union.

Macron, by contrast, embraced globalization, winning an unusually high-profile endorsement last week from former President Barack Obama. An aide to Obama said Sunday he was not expected to comment on the day of the results.

“I have admired the campaign that Emmanuel Macron has run,” Obama said in a video endorsing Macron. “He has stood up for liberal values; he put forward a vision for the important role that France plays in Europe and around the world; and he is committed to a better future for the French people. He appeals to people’s hopes, and not their fears.”

Texas governor signs ban on so-called ‘sanctuary cities’

By PAUL J. WEBER

The Associated Press

AUSTIN, Texas – Texas pushed to the forefront of national debate over immigration Sunday night when Republican Gov. Greg Abbott signed a so-called “sanctuary cities” ban that lets police ask during routine stops whether someone is in the U.S. legally and threatens sheriffs with jail if they don’t cooperate with federal immigration agents.

The new Texas law was blasted by opponents as the nation’s toughest on immigrants since Arizona’s crackdown in 2010, disparagingly known as the “papers, please” provision. They are now vowing a court challenge in Texas similar to what unfolded in Arizona.

Every major police chief in Texas, which includes some of the largest cities

in the U.S., opposed the measure that allows police to inquire about the immigration status of anyone they detain, a situation that can range from arrest for a crime to being stopped for a traffic violation.

It also requires police chiefs and sheriffs – under the threat of jail and removal of office – to comply with federal requests to hold criminal suspects for possible deportation. Republicans have a strong majority in the Legislature and shoved aside Democratic objections, even as President Donald Trump’s efforts to withhold federal funding for sanctuary cities have hit roadblocks in federal courts.

“Let’s face it, the reason why so many people come to America is because we are a nation of laws and Texas is doing its part to keep it that way,” Abbott said.

The Associated Press LOS ANGELES – After volunteering at her children’s Los Angeles middle school for nearly a decade, Carol Convey was told the number of teachers suddenly would be cut.

The problem? The school now had too many white students.

To Convey, the diverse, multiethnic community looked no different from before, so she began to wonder whether her neighbors had changed, or only how they identified on paper.

The question has sparked a lively debate in the country’s second-largest school district, which under a decades-old court settlement aimed at desegregation provides additional staffing when more than 70 percent of students hailing from the surrounding neighborhood are not white.

Across the country, school districts have long grappled with desegregation and pursued a range of policies including changing boundaries, opening magnet schools and focusing resources on campuses with nonwhite students.

In Los Angeles, parents were shocked earlier this year when they learned Walter Reed Middle School – known for its honors program, specialized learning academies and diverse student body of 1,600 – would no longer qualify for the additional staffing due to an uptick in its white student enrollment.

District officials could not pinpoint a reason for the demographic shift, which dates back two years.

But some parents doubt there is much change, adding they have friends who didn’t put down their children’s heritage on school forms fearing they could be labeled English learners and subjected to additional testing.

Now, these parents are being encouraged to change how they answered questions about their children’s race and ethnicity to more fully reflect their background – and Convey said more than a dozen people have voiced interest in doing so.

“They have a perception that maybe I need to skirt it, hide it, not share it, because it may work against me in some way,” said Convey, founder of a parent group that supports the school.

“We have had to educate and say, ‘No, no, no people. Our funding depends on us being so different, so let’s write it down. Let’s tell everyone. Let’s celebrate this.’”

The discussion underscores the critical role race plays in education decisions even though the questionnaires used to determine identity of-

ten feel inadequate or confusing to those filling them out.

It also suggests some parents may answer the forms based on what they think will most help their children, choosing to focus on or de-emphasize parts of their identity.

Thomas A. Saenz, president of the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund, said he does not know parents who deliberately skew their answers on enrollment forms, but the incentive to do so exists in the Los Angeles Unified School District since white students have a better shot at getting into some magnet schools aimed at desegregation.

About three-quarters of Los Angeles Unified’s students are Latino, and fewer than 10 percent identify as white, according to district data.

That’s a marked shift from 1978, the year the district proposed a court settlement to desegregate its schools, which at the time were 39 percent Latino and 30 percent white.

As a result, the majority of Los Angeles Unified schools today – 88 percent – receive the additional staffing to keep classes smaller, district statistics show.

Every year, a handful of schools lose or gain staffing when their demographics shift.

District officials, however, said they don’t think parents lie about their children’s race or ethnicity, but rather the data taken over two years reflects changes in the surrounding neighborhood or in how many children attend local schools.

“I think people are proud of their identity,” said Greg McNair, the district’s chief business and compliance counsel. “People like who they are, want to be who they are [and] don’t want to pretend they’re someone else.”

In response to the parents’ uproar, the district has rejigged funding to save all but one of the teachers the school would have lost because of the data shift, he said.

In the meantime, parents are planning to educate families at Reed about the enrollment forms and urge those who may have omitted information when they signed up their children for elementary school to make changes now.

They hope the school’s demographic data will then shift back, renewing Reed’s eligibility for the desegregation program.

So far, several parents have asked to review their enrollment paperwork at the school, said Barbara Jones, a district spokeswoman.

Reed parent Veronica Gonzalez said she can see why parents might find the forms confusing.

BRANCHBURG, N.J. – President Donald Trump urged Senate Republicans on Sunday to “not let the American people down,” as the contentious debate over overhauling the U.S. health care systems shifts to Congress’ upper chamber, where a vote is potentially weeks, if not months, away.

Some senators have already voiced displeasure with the health care bill that cleared the House last week, with Republicans providing all the “yes” votes in the 217-213 count. They cited concerns about potential higher costs for older people and those with pre-existing conditions, along with cuts to Medicaid.

Sen. Susan Collins of Maine, a moderate Republican whose vote will be critical to getting a bill to Trump’s desk and who voiced similar concerns, said the Senate would not take up the House bill.

“The Senate is starting from scratch.

We’re going to draft our bill, and I’m convinced we will take the time to do it right,” she said.

Mick Mulvaney, Trump’s budget director, also said the version that gets to the president will likely differ from the House measure. Such a scenario would then force the House and Senate to work together to forge a compromise bill that both houses can support.

Collins also complained that the House rushed a vote before the Con-

gressional Budget Office could complete its cost-benefit analysis.

Eager to check off a top campaign promise, Trump sought Sunday to pressure Senate Republicans on the issue.

“Republican senators will not let the American people down!” Trump tweeted from his private golf course in central New Jersey, where he has stayed since late Thursday. “ObamaCare premiums and deductibles are way up – it was a lie and it is dead!”

Trump has said the current system is failing as insurers pull out of markets, forcing costs and deductibles to rise.

The White House on Sunday scoffed at Democratic claims that voters will punish the GOP in the 2018 elections for upending former President Barack Obama’s law. “I think that the Republican Party will be rewarded,” said Reince Priebus, Trump’s chief of staff.

House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi of California has threatened that GOP lawmakers will “glow in the dark” over their vote.

The House bill would end the health care law’s fines on people who don’t buy policies and erase its taxes on health industry businesses and higher earners. It would dilute consumer-friendly insurance coverage requirements, like prohibiting higher premiums for customers with pre-existing medical conditions and watering down the subsidies that help consumers afford health insurance.

North Korea detains another American

By KIM TONG–HYUNG The Associated Press

SEOUL, South Korea – North Korea has detained another American citizen accused of committing unspecified hostile acts against the country.

The country’s official Korean Central News Agency said Kim Hak Song was detained Saturday and that “a relevant institution is now conducting detailed investigation into his crimes.”

He worked at Pyongyang University of Science and Technology, the same workplace as another American, accounting instructor Kim Sang Dok, whose detention was announced Wednesday. The KCNA didn’t say whether the two cases are connected.

The university said in a statement early Monday that Kim Hak Song was doing agricultural development work at an experimental farm. It said his detention was not related to his work at the university and therefore it could not comment further.

In Washington, the State Department said it was aware of the report of the new detention and that “the security of U.S. citizens is one of the department’s highest priorities.”

Kim Sang Dok, the former accounting instructor at the Pyongyang university, was arrested at the Pyongyang International Airport on April 22, the KCNA said. It said he was “intercepted for committing criminal acts” to overthrow the North’s government, but didn’t elaborate.

The Pyongyang University of Science and Technology is the only privately funded university in North Korea and is unique for having a large number of foreign staff.

South Korea, the U.S. and others often accuse North Korea of using foreign detainees to wrest diplomatic concessions, which have sometimes involved high-profile Americans sent to secure the release of the Americans.

Two other Americans detained in North Korea are Otto Warmbier, serving a 15-year prison term with hard labor for alleged anti-state acts, and Kim Dong Chul, serving a 10-year term with hard labor for alleged espionage.

Warmbier, a University of Virginia student from suburban Cincinnati, made a tearful public confession to

stealing a propaganda banner while visiting North Korea with a tour group last year. Kim Dong Chul, a South Korean-born U.S. citizen told CNN he was president of a trade and hotel services company in Rason, North Korea. In his public confession, he said he had spied for South Korean intelligence and had tried to spread religion among North Koreans.

Some foreigners have said after their release that their declarations of guilt had been coerced while in North Korean custody.

When an American citizen is reported detained, the U.S. works with the Swedish Embassy in the North Korean capital, since the U.S. and the North do not have diplomatic relations.

Police say man in Ferguson photo is apparent suicide The ASSOCIATED PRESS ST. LOUIS – Police say a man featured in a famous photo taken during 2014 protests in Ferguson, Missouri, has died. The St. Louis County medical examiner’s office says Edward Crawford

Jr.’s death on Thursday was reported as a suspected suicide.

The August 2014 photo was taken during riots that erupted after a white police officer fatally shot 18-year-old Michael Brown, who was black and unarmed.

It shows Crawford throwing a smoking tear gas cylinder that’d been fired by police back toward the officers.

The photo was part of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch’s Pulitzer Prize-winning photo coverage of the protests.

The newspaper reported police said

two women driving with Crawford reported he shot himself Thursday after talking about being distraught over “personal matters.”

Crawford’s father believes the shooting was accidental. An official cause of death is pending an autopsy.

Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu (right) welcomes German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier at his office Sunday in Jerusalem.

Gabriel chose the soldiers instead. Netanyahu, who also serves as foreign minister, said that shunning visitors who meet with Breaking the Silence is now official policy.

The dispute cast a shadow over what would otherwise have been a routine visit to Israel by German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier this week.

In a speech Sunday in Jerusalem, Steinmeier did not refer to Breaking the Silence by name, but said that civil society groups “deserve our respect as democrats, also at times when they are critical of a government.”

Steinmeier, who met with Netanyahu on Sunday, said he disagreed with the decision not to receive Gabriel.

Steinmeier said he decided against canceling his Israel trip because it might

have allowed relations to “move deeper into a dead end, which would have harmed both sides.”

Yehuda Shaul, a co-founder of Breaking the Silence, said the recent attention has been a mixed blessing.

The focus on the diplomatic dust-up “diverts a lot of attention from the real issue, what goes on in the occupied territories,” he said in an interview at the group’s office, tucked away in an old walk-up in a grubby industrial area of Tel Aviv.

“On the other hand, it gives us more stages to speak about it,” said Shaul, citing more media attention and public speaking invitations that draw larger audiences.

Israelis have been bitterly divided over what to do with lands captured

Israel says Palestinian hunger strike leader ate in secret The ASSOCIATED PRESS JERUSALEM – Israel’s Prison Service released footage Sunday that it says shows the leader of a mass Palestinian hunger strike breaking his fast, a claim dismissed by the Palestinians as an attempt to undermine the open-ended strike, now in its 21st day.

Assaf Librati, a spokesman for the prison service, said strike organizer and Palestinian uprising leader Marwan Barghouti ate a candy bar May 5 and cookies April 27. He said surveillance was increased and Barghouti was caught on film eating.

Footage aired by Israeli media shows a prisoner sitting down fully clothed on a toilet unwrapping something and putting it in his mouth. Other footage shows a prisoner eating something near

a sink.

Qadoura Fares, who heads an advocacy group for Palestinian prisoners, cast doubt on the footage, saying Barghouti is being held in solitary confinement and has no access to food.

“This is a fabrication,” Fares said of the footage released Sunday. “This is psychological warfare that we expected Israel to wage against the strike.” He said that “the prisoners will not buy this account from the Israeli side, and they will continue their strike.”

Barghouti, a leader of the second Palestinian uprising, is serving five life terms after being convicted by an Israeli court of directing two shooting attacks and a bombing that killed five people.

Barghouti, who disputed the court’s jurisdiction and did not mount a defense, has been in prison since 2002.

Polls suggest that the 58-year-old Barghouti is the most popular choice among Palestinians to succeed 82-yearold Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.

Palestinians have held large rallies in support of the hunger strike since it began. After decades of conflict, hundreds of thousands of Palestinians have been imprisoned at one time or another for acts ranging from stone-throwing to carrying out attacks that wounded or killed Israelis.

Palestinians say the mass hunger strike is an attempt to improve conditions inside the jails and gain more family visits. Israeli officials have dismissed the strike as a bid by Barghouti to burnish his credentials in an internal Palestinian power struggle.

“This hunger strike was never

about the conditions of the convicted terrorists, which meet international standards,” Israeli Minister of Public Security Gilad Erdan said. “Barghouti is a murderer and hypocrite who urged his fellow prisoners to strike and suffer while he ate behind their back.”

Fares said earlier Sunday that some of the hundreds of Palestinians participating in the hunger strike began taking vitamin supplements on day 15. He said guards had punished the strikers by seizing all personal items and leaving prisoners “with nothing except their beds.” He says the information comes from lawyers who recently visited the strikers.

Israel holds about 6,500 Palestinians on charges related to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Israel says 890 prisoners are participating in the hunger strike.

TEL AVIV, Israel – Former Israeli combat soldiers who were thrust into the center of a diplomatic row between Israel and Germany say the sudden international spotlight has given them a bigger stage to speak out against Israel’s 50-year rule over millions of Palestinians.

Breaking the Silence is a group of ex-soldiers-turned-whistleblowers who view Israel’s open-ended occupation of lands sought for a Palestinian state as an existential threat to their country.

Since 2004, the group has collected testimony from more than 1,100 fellow soldiers who describe the dark side of that rule, including seemingly routine mistreatment of Palestinian civilians stripped of basic rights. The veterans hope such accounts by former fighters will carry weight and spark public debate about the moral price of the occupation.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and top officials in his nationalist government have a starkly different view. They have branded Breaking the Silence as foreign-funded subversives who are trying to defame Israel and its military.

Netanyahu even seemed willing to rattle Israel’s relationship with key European ally Germany to score points against Breaking the Silence, which has 16 paid staffers, several dozen volunteers and an annual budget of about $2 million.

Two weeks ago, he said he would not receive German Foreign Minister Sigmar Gabriel if the visitor stuck to plans to meet with Breaking the Silence.

in the 1967 Arab-Israeli war. Israel annexed east Jerusalem immediately after the war and retains overall control over the West Bank, with enclaves of Palestinian self-rule. Israel unilaterally withdrew from Gaza in 2005 and has enforced a border blockade since the Islamic militant Hamas seized power there two years later.

Many Israelis support Palestinian statehood in principle, but believe it’s not safe to cede territories now. Fears were stoked by three Israel-Hamas wars since 2008 and an escalation of regional conflicts. Meanwhile, partition is increasingly difficult, with 600,000 Israelis already living on occupied lands and settlements expanding steadily.

Netanyahu has said he is willing to resume talks with the Palestinians, but gaps remain wide. A majority of his Cabinet opposes a two-state solution and some even call for annexing parts of the West Bank.

Shaul said he and his comrades are the true patriots.

“I believe Jews have a right to self-determination in the Holy Land. But I refuse to accept that the only way I will be allowed to implement my right to self-determination is if I strip my neighbors, the Palestinians, of the exact same right I demand for myself,” he said. “A permanent occupation is the most anti-Zionist position one can ever have because it says we are doomed to live in a sin.”

The beginnings of Breaking the Silence go back to Hebron, the West Bank’s largest Palestinian city, where hundreds of troops guard roughly the same number of Jewish settlers in an Israeli-controlled center partly off limits to Palestinians.

ANOTHER VIEW

Tillerson’s right, wrong It was reassuring to hear Secretary of State Rex Tillerson tell his department on Wednesday that “guiding all of our foreign policy actions are our fundamental values: our values around freedom, human dignity, the way people are treated.”

Less reassuring was Tillerson’s explanation of how the principle would be put into practice. When he followed his general explanation with an exhaustive tour of the world that did not mention human rights or values anywhere – not in North Korea, China, Russia, the Middle East or South America – he raised the question of how much his guiding principle will matter.

Tillerson was right to point out that the United States must safeguard its national security and economic prosperity if Americans are to “protect our ability to be that voice of our values now and forevermore.” And he was right that, to protect its security and economy, the United States at times must make allowances for dictators.

Secretaries of state always have heard such pleas from allies who are also human rights abusers, and they frequently (too frequently, in our view) have found it in the United States’ interest to indulge such pleas. But Tillerson errs in a couple of fundamental ways. First, he perpetuates a dangerous idea when he refers exclusively to “our values.” The ideals of free speech and expression, worship and assembly, and living in dignity, free of coercion, are universal values that apply as much to a person in Shanghai as in Springfield. Leaders such as Xi Jinping of China and Vladimir Putin of Russia often denigrate these as Western values as an excuse to deny freedom to their own people.

Second, he seems to put values in a basket of their own, separate from “America First” national interests. “So, it’s how do we advance our national security and economic interests on this hand, our values are constant over here,” he said. But values and their promotion are integral to U.S. national interests.

Governments that are chosen by their people and that treat their populations fairly are more likely to interact fairly in the international sphere as well. Corrupt autocracies such as Putin’s are more likely to whip up nationalist animosities to distract from their own illegitimacy. North Korea’s suffocating dictatorship helps make it a threat to peace.

Does Tillerson recognize that connection? The fact that his lengthy tour of the horizon, region by region, neglected to mention values isn’t a good sign. Keeping human rights and democracy at the forefront of diplomacy, along with economics and security, does not create “obstacles,” as Tillerson put it. Rather, it is an enduring source of American strength, a source that no totalitarian or authoritarian system can ever match.

IT’S YOUR WRITE Democrats make weak claims

To the Editor: President Trump’s proven tweets once again were vindicated today. The most frivolous contention from the “dumbacrats” is the odd claim of Russian hacking of the election. Honestly, it would be far more sensationalistic if the fake news would just come all the way out and say it was Edward Snowden who hacked the election. This fake scenario at least still has the Russian connection from where Snowden was justifiably exiled for treason. The hacking theory never got off the ground because hacking, when real, leaves an instant trail. So, who was tried? Who was convicted? Who? And silence. There’s such an odd range here between instant trail and 10 months no conviction. Wow, not even close. Actually, what could be is maybe the hacking was intended to see a Trump loss but the shallow instigator errantly didn’t quite give the “dumbacrats” enough votes and was taken by complete surprise of the all-red map. This scenario explains why the theorists don’t want to dig too deep or it will surface that Trump’s mandate was even larger than already known. But, again, smarter theories make too much sense. Funny stuff. Keep America great folks.

Rights, entitlements evolve

To the Editor: In response to Tim Beck’s letter on rights and entitle-

ments. I think the words entitlement and rights and his use of federal government could use some clarification. First, remember we the people are the government. They are elected officials who we the people placed in office. Rights and entitlements are things we decide all citizens should have (rights, freedom of speech, for example) or some of us should have under agreed upon conditions (entitlements, Social Security, as an example). Rights such as the Bill of Rights can be changed by amendment and services can be provided through legislation. Whether health care and education should be provided by the government or is a personal responsibility is up to we the people.

Research says education has a great payback for a nation’s economy and in the happiest country in the world, Denmark, its citizens have decide to provide their fellow citizens with healthcare and education.

Also, Tim uses the Federalist Papers as an example, in fact, the Federalists Papers created an argument for a stronger federal government with power moving from the states toward a stronger central government. Hamilton saw one government with some power could do more than individual states. Also, the Bill of Rights in the Constitution was a condition the anti-federalists required to support the new Constitution.

Nothing is free but we certainly have the right to create programs that citizens can choose to pay for to benefit our country and citizens.

By PAUL KANE

The Washington Post WASHINGTON – Republicans pushed a health care bill through the House Thursday that few lawmakers truly liked. They instead viewed the measure as a necessary step to demonstrate some sense of momentum and some ability to govern in GOP-controlled Washington.

Rather than embrace policy cobbled together designed to replace the 2010 Affordable Care Act, many Republicans simply decided the best move was to approve a flawed bill – and ram it through a flawed process – so that the Senate would get a chance to fix the House’s mistakes, setting up a major negotiation later this year.

House Republicans did so knowing that their votes will be portrayed by their Democratic opponents as ruthlessly denying millions of people health insurance and causing Americans already saddled with preexisting illness to shoulder higher costs.

And they did so knowing that there’s a chance the Senate will choke on the legislation or that House and Senate negotiators will deadlock and never agree to a final product – leaving them on record voting for a bill that could have career-ending consequences.

“This bill is highly imperfect, imperfect, OK? There’s no doubt about that,” Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart said after supporting the legislation.

The Florida Republican – who represents a competitive district – waited until the last 24 hours to come on board, citing conversations with senators who vowed to address his concerns about how to handle the tens of thousands of his constituents who are signed up for the ACA insurance exchanges.

“Is this bill good? No, I don’t like it,” Diaz-Balart said, suggesting that voting for the bill would allow him to be part of future negotiations. “So my decision was, how do I stay involved?”

The other critical factor was a desire for the House GOP majority to show it can actually govern.

Inside the leadership team of House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., there was a gripping fear of what failure would mean for its future overseeing a chamber seemingly incapable of moving important legislation.

Ryan had already pulled his American Health Care Act from the floor once, back in late March, amid a rebellion on his left and right flanks regarding its shortcomings.

The initial game plan was to simply give up on repealing Obamacare and move on to a broad rewrite of the tax code. But inside the White House, President Donald Trump’s advisers became increasingly concerned about how little they had to show in terms of early victories. They helped nudge the hard line House Freedom Caucus and some members of the moderate Tuesday Group back to the bargaining table.

Lawmakers produced a deal that eventually brought all but one member of the Freedom Caucus into the fold, and Ryan’s team realized it was as close as Republicans had ever been to passing the legislation. At that point, wavering members faced pressure to be loyal to the speaker and show that the House could act.

The consequence of failure – which would have marked a second time six weeks after the humiliating first retreat – became a compelling reason to vote “yes.”

“Some would have said it would have been apocalyptic, that if you, you know, go to the well once and you can’t there and you go back again and you come up short, it says a lot about your ability to govern and to move legislation of consequence. And so I think it would have had rather significant ramifications,” Rep. Marc Sanford, R-S.C., a member of the Freedom Caucus, said.

No one publicly spoke about it, but There were whispers that some or all of the House leadership team would fall if the legislation came up short. The fate of Ryan and his lieutenants hovered just beneath the surface – until Trump, with Ryan at his side, cracked a joke about it.

“For the last week I’ve been hearing, ‘Paul Ryan doesn’t have it, it’s not working with Paul Ryan, he’s going to get rid of Paul Ryan.’ Then today I heard, ‘Paul Ryan’s a genius.’ He’s come a long way,” Trump said, smiling at Ryan over his shoulder at the celebratory Rose Garden. tribute after the bill’s passage.

Saturday marked the first anniversary of Ryan’s infamous announcement that he was “not ready” to endorse Trump for president, launching a tumultuous relationship between the two leaders that lasted through the November election and has always been just underneath their shared attempt at managing Trump’s agenda on Capitol Hill.

In that regard, Trump and Ryan needed a victory, almost any victory, forged together so that they can figure out a way forward. Not just on health care but on other critical items, particularly the tax overhaul in which Trump has released a plan that is at odds with what the speaker has been working on for several years. The question is whether this short-term victory was worth the long-term squeeze.

The legislation passed by the narrowest of margins, 217 to 213, with just two votes to spare. Just 20 Republicans opposed the legislation, at a time when independent political analysts rate about 40 GOP seats as potentially vulnerable in 2018. If Republicans lose 24 seats, they lose the majority.

A couple dozen Republicans took risky votes on legislation that, so far, has not proven to be particularly popular among voters.

One of those was sophomore Rep. Carlos Curbelo, R-Fla., whose district favored Hillary Clinton by nearly 17 percentage points over Trump last year. Curbelo won re-election by a comfortable margin against a flawed Democrat and now finds himself near the top of Democratic target lists for 2018.

Curbelo held out until Thursday afternoon to decide how he would vote. He met regularly with Rep. Fred Upton, R-Mich., the former chairman of the panel and a leading moderate who negotiated an extra $8 billion in the legislation to help lower premiums for those with pre-existing conditions.

Even with that key addition, Curbelo still wasn’t sold on the bill. Like many other late deciding Republicans, he placed his bet on the Senate after conversations with Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., about his concerns that the tax credits in the House bill are not generous enough to help older workers who aren’t yet eligible for Medicare.

“I want as much of a guarantee as I can get from Senate offices that is a major priority, and that it’s going to get done,” he said Thursday morning.

24 To be effective, use meloxicam on limited basis Dear Doctor: I’ve suffered joint pain for years. Being prescribed 15 milligrams of meloxicam has been wonderful. What are your thoughts on meloxicam use?

Dear Reader: Meloxicam (Mobic) is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that, like all such drugs, inhibits the formation of the enzyme cyclooxygenase (COX). This inhibition leads to a decrease in the production of molecules that boost inflammation and help the blood clot.

There are two forms of the COX enzyme, aptly named COX-1 and COX-2. COX-1 is involved in protecting the lining of the stomach, promoting the blood’s clotting ability and aiding kidney function. COX-2 is involved in the inflammatory response in the body. Many of the side effects seen with older NSAIDs, such as ibuprofen, naproxen and diclofenac, are related to the inhibition of COX-1. The side effects include gastritis or gastric ulcers, blood thinning and kidney damage. Inhibiting COX-2 leads to a decrease in inflammation and a decrease in pain.

Meloxicam at low doses (7.5 milligrams) inhibits COX-2 and not COX-1. That means it can reduce pain and inflammation without irritation of the stomach lining or an increased risk of stomach ulcers. Research has found serious upper gastrointestinal events at the 7.5 mg dose occur in fewer than 1 in 3,000 people. But note that follow-up studies didn’t last more than 60 days, so it’s unclear if these rates would hold up over the long term.

Further, at low doses, meloxicam may not trigger the kidney problems other NSAIDs cause. The rates of heart attacks appear comparable to those of other NSAIDs, with a slight increase in risk at all doses.

However, when meloxicam dosage is increased to 15 mg, the medication does inhibit COX-1, leading to a significant increase in the rates of serious upper gastrointestinal events.

One study found, while the number of events was less than with the NSAID

SUDOKU

ASK THE DOCTOR Robert Ashley naproxen, the number of events at 15 mg was six times higher than the lower dose of meloxicam (1 in 500 people). Another study showed a greater proportion of people taking 22.5 mg of the drug for 12 weeks had a slight decrease in kidney function. This was not seen at the 15 mg dosage.

Lastly, for people on two types of blood pressure drugs – ACE-inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers – meloxicam (like other NSAIDs) may make those medications less effective.

In summary, meloxicam works well for pain and swelling. The higher doses do decrease pain more than the 7.5 mg dosage, and the medication is comparable to the NSAID diclofenac for both pain relief and decreasing inflammation. I have frequently recommended the medication for joint inflammation, bone bruises and pain from fractures and tendonitis, and it’s worked well for the majority of my patients. For older adults, I lean toward the 7.5 mg dose, but I have recommended 15 mg in more severe cases. Some of the latter group have complained of gastrointestinal discomfort, but this stopped when they discontinued the medication. I rarely give this medication for greater than one month, but have had some patients with severe arthritis who have been on this medication for years.

I don’t know how frequently you are using meloxicam, but if you’re using it on an as-needed basis, it should be safe. If you’re using this medication daily, you should consider its potential for side effects.

Dear Abby: I’m DEAR ABBY a columnist who writes various Jeanne news, feature and Phillips column stories.

The other day, I received my first criticism. A reader chewed me out for challenging their program. It’s hard being a young writer. Facing criticism for doing my job makes it harder. ... After being chewed out, I couldn’t get past it. I suffer from severe anxiety, so everything gets to me. I sit here every day thinking about how I’m not going to let this irritate me anymore, but it still does. How can I let this go? – Stressed Reporter Dear Stressed: Criticism goes with the territory. If you think readers are going to fill your inbox with nothing but praise every day, you are in the wrong business. The way to get beyond this would be to ask yourself whether the criticism was valid. If it was, then learn from it.

If it wasn’t, realize by dwelling on negativity, you hurt only yourself. You should discuss your extreme anxiety with a licensed mental health professional. If you cannot break this self-defeating pattern, consider switching to another kind of writing, because constantly second-guessing yourself will only hold you back in your career.

Dear Abby: I was about to break off the relationship with my girlfriend two years ago, right before she was diagnosed with cancer. Because of the diagnosis, I decided to stay while she was fighting. After two years of chemo, radiation and many, many surgeries, she’s still fighting hard and may beat it. But I’m ready to move on with my life. Do I need to stay in the relationship until there’s some type of conclusion with her cancer? – On Hold In North Carolina Dear On Hold: Considering you were about to break up with this woman before she was diagnosed, I commend you for staying as long as you have. Your girlfriend could live this way for many more years to come. After two years, you should have a right to enjoy your own life. It might lessen the blow if you assure her you are not abandoning her, and although your relationship may be changing, you will continue to be her supportive friend.

Dear Abby: My husband and I argue over which way to put the silverware in the dishwasher. He says when he worked in restaurants he was told to put the handles down. I was taught by my Gramma to put the handles up, so when you grab the utensils to put them away you’re not touching the part that goes in your mouth. I said, “Well, when you’re doing the dishes, do them your way, and when I do them, I’ll do it my way.” But, of course, we spend a lot of time rearranging each other’s silverware. What’s the correct way? – Joelle In Washington Dear Joelle: The answer to your question should be as simple as consulting the user handbook that came with your dishwasher. Most, if not all, brands caution owners to put knives in the basket with the points facing down. However, to prevent “nesting,” spoons and forks will get optimum water pressure if they are facing up.

Traffic is going at a steady 65 mph on an interstate. You are coming up the entry ramp. What is your ideal speed when you reach the top of the ramp?

Right -- 65. So why do many drivers try to merge at 50 or 55? It increases the risk of an accident.

At the bridge table, though, if you are playing against a speedy opponent, do not try to match him.

Take your time; do not be rushed into a mistake. In this deal, for example, how should East plan the defense against three no-trump after West leads the spade nine, and South immediately calls for dummy’s singleton?

South has a normal-looking twono-trump opening, although his aceking count is high. If you take two points for an ace and one for a king, the opener will normally have seven points; this hand has eight, which is the usual number for a two-club opening followed by a two-no-trump rebid. But it would be quite some upgrade to open two clubs.

After North’s thin raise to game, East might have risked a double, which would have said that he had a solid suit and hoped partner could find it. Typically, though, this would have been a major suit because the responder had not used Stayman or a transfer. However, here, West might have led a club on the shortest-suit principle -- partner’s longest suit will be my shortest.

What is a nine lead? Top of nothing. So East should know that South has the spade A-Q-J-10. Then, playing the king gives declarer four spade tricks and nine in all. But if East ignores third hand high and calmly plays the spade three, declarer cannot find a ninth trick.

Good News! Local Stem Cell Institute of America Centers Now Offers Regenerative Therapy!

The Stem Cell Institute of America devotes much of its time treating chronically ill patients -especially those in pain. With 3 years experience, serving Northern Illinois with multiple practices, it continues to utilize cutting-edge technology to help restore patients’ health. The institute recently announced its latest state-of-the-art healing procedure: regenerative stem cell therapy.

The Stem Cell Institute of America is now offering painless, FDA approved Amniototic Stem Cell Injections and advanced procedures for arthritic and/or degenerative conditions, especially those found in the knees, hips, shoulder, neck and lower back.

These remarkable treatments can repair tissue in the body that has been damaged from age, disease or degeneration. They do this by pinpointing the impaired areas, removing the swelling with powerful anti-inflammatory properties and healing them by regenerating cells and tissue.

This innovative therapy is particularly effective in treating such conditions as degenerative arthritis, degenerative cartilage and ligaments, bone spurs, degenerative joint disease, bursitis and tendinitis, especially Osteoarthritis of the Knee.

According to the Stem Cell Institute of America chief medical officer, patients can experience a significant decrease in pain and an improvement in range of motion within weeks of treatment.

Win-win situation

C-G graduate Mascarella helps Scots, own baseball career

By JOE STEVENSON

joestevenson@shawmedia.com

M

cHenry County College sophomore Peyton Schneider turned into a recruiter last summer when he found out who had become a free agent, so to speak.

The former Harvard pitcher texted Cary-Grove graduate Wyatt Mascarella constantly. Schneider had played travel baseball with Mascarella for the Pro Player Hurricanes organization and knew Mascarella, who caught at NCAA Division I Illinois-Chicago last season, could be integral for the Scots.

“I knew he’d be one of the best guys on our team, if not the best,” Schneider said. “I texted him all summer. I was trying my hardest to get him.”

Mascarella was not seriously considering any other junior colleges. He wanted to have surgery to repair the torn labrum in his right hip and convalesce at his family’s home in Cary. Nevertheless, it was nice for Mascarella to know he was wanted and appreciated.

Schneider’s assessment was spot-on.

Mascarella has provided a strong presence behind the plate and has been one of the most productive hitters for the 35-10-1 Scots, hitting .418 with 10 home runs, 48 RBIs and 13 doubles entering Sunday.

Mascarella will have his pick of several D-I colleges to play at next season.

Scots coach Jared Wacker has been in contact with more than a dozen schools and said some professional scouts also have been looking at him.

“I wasn’t really sure what I wanted to do, goalwise, going into this year,” Mascarella said. “I just kind of wanted to play and see how I ended up. I knew my hip was going to be fine. I wasn’t sure how it was going to be playing healthy for a full year. I’m in a really good environment, that’s for sure. I have a really good coaching staff and really good teammates that were very, very helpful along the way.”

Mascarella ranks among the top 40 in homers and RBIs among NJCAA Division II players. He has scored 47 runs, has 36 walks and an on-base percentage of .566.

“I got pretty much what I expected,” Wacker said, “I thought I was getting a catcher that had all the tools behind the plate to play at a high level. He has some physical strengths. Catch-and-release behind the plate he’s really good, he has a strong arm. The thing I’m

‘‘

John Konstantaras for Shaw Media

Catcher Wyatt Mascarella and his McHenry County College teammates celebrate their 5-1 win over Carl Sandburg College in the opener of a doubleheader sweep Sunday in Crystal Lake. Mascarella, a Cary-Grove graduate, was batting .418 entering Sunday with 10 home runs and 48 RBIs.

I have a really good coaching staff and really good teammates that were very, very helpful along the way.”

Wyatt Mascarella, McHenry County College catcher and Cary-Grove graduate

most impressed with was his personality and openness to getting along with everyone on the team and not thinking he was some big shot because he was at a D-I school.”

Mascarella committed to UIC in the summer before his senior season at C-G, when he was named to the Northwest Herald All-Area first team.

Playing time was not the issue for Mascarella. He fought through the torn hip labrum and a left thumb injury to play 40 games for the Flames but did not feel the program was the right fit for him. UIC’s coaching staff reached

out to Wacker last summer to let him know Mascarella was available. By going juco, Mascarella could play this season and go back to D-I next year.

Initially, Mascarella wanted to put the surgery off for another year.

Although his hip pinched and grinded, thanks to some bone spurs a doctor told Mascarella he was born with, he worked through it. His orthopedic surgeon advised him to get the injury taken care of, which he did in August.

That knocked Mascarella out of any fall workouts with the Scots, but he was back throwing in October and taking swings in December.

Schneider, Jacobs graduate Owen Oreskovich and Grant grad Nick Heidenthal are MCC players who were with Mascarella on the Pro Player Canes teams. They were thrilled to have him back on their side.

“To have a D-I catcher come in after we just lost a couple guys was great,” said Schneider, who was named NJCAA D-II Pitcher of the Week last week after a 12-strikeout performance. “It’s exciting to play next to him again. He

has one of the best arms I’ve ever seen.

He brings a lot to the plate. It’s pretty easy to throw to him.”

Wacker has heard interest from all over the nation about Mascarella.

Illinois State and Southern Illinois are two in-state schools on the list. Wacker also has been in contact with Ball State, Marshall, Penn State, Washington State and Winthrop (South Carolina).

Presently, Mascarella will concern himself with trying to get the Scots back to the NJCAA D-II World Series.

He also hopes to play in the Northwoods League this summer, although that may be contingent on the D-I school with which he signs.

Mascarella said he has enjoyed the recruitment process more this time than in high school.

“It’s obviously fun,” he said. “I’ll be able to enjoy it a little more this time around. In high school, everybody was committing around me, and it was like I needed to do something. Now, it’s like I’m playing with all the guys, and it’s fun to have all these people show interest.”

BASS FISHING: SECTIONAL PREVIEW

Huntley’s Nicholas Dennis (from left), Mary Raclawski, Tyler Colton and Daniel Dennis show off their catches at last year’s IHSA bass fishing sectional at Chain O’Lakes in Fox Lake. been surprised by the fast growth of the sport.

“The sport has grown a ton,” Colton said. “There’s probably twice as many boats now for each tournament.

“I think more and more schools will get into it, and more kids are trying to start their own clubs. I have buddies at other schools that are interested in doing it, too. They just want to get into it and be outside.”

Lachel has students from other sports asking to join all of the time, he said. Raclawski is one of the area’s top distance runners and advanced to the girls track and field state meet last year. It was the same weekend as the bass fishing state series, forcing her to miss the trip to Carlyle Lake.

With no set schedule and tournaments taking place on the weekends, it’s easy for athletes of other sports to join.

“There are so many kids that go hunting and fishing to begin with,” Lachel said. “Their parents fish, and so they do, too. This community has always been sportsmen oriented and outdoorsy. Nobody protects the water and sport better than those who are actually in the sport.

“The other part is the social media component of it. Kids have their own YouTube channels, and they’re constantly posting stuff on there and watching videos.”

Because bass fishing is considered an “activity” and not an official IHSA sport, teams must provide their own equipment, including rods and – often most difficultly – a boat. Lachel remembers the Raiders winning their

first sectional at Busse Woods in Elk Grove Village on a jon boat provided by the Cook County Forest Preserve with nothing but a cooler and aerator on board.

Parents, volunteers or sponsors most often provide boats and equipment for each team.

Now, the sport is becoming so large that there has been talk of adding a regional round to feed into sectionals.

Last year’s state meet had 64 boats, and tournament officials had to run them in flights of 20 to 25 boats at a time.

As the number of schools competing in bass fishing has grown, so has the level of competition.

“It’s taken off so much that’s it gotten so competitive at the high school level,” Lachel said. “You have dads on boats that are semi-pro fisherman, so it’s becoming harder and harder to win it.”

For a few years, Dave Kranz of Dave’s Bait Tackle and Taxidermy in Crystal Lake captained the boat for Faith Lutheran, which won a sectional title in 2015.

Prairie Ridge coach John Pellikan, who also coaches on the Wolves boys golf team, got the idea to start a bass fishing team when he got to talking with Dundee-Crown coach Matt Schwenk at a golf meet.

Pellikan’s son, Hank, is a freshman at Prairie Ridge and knew of some other friends with interest.

The Wolves took third at the Dundee-Crown Bass Fishing Tournament at Three Oaks Recreation Area on April 22 in Crystal Lake. Pellikan had 26 kids attend the first meeting

for the bass fishing team in February.

The team has about 22 members now, he said.

Crystal Lake South’s Aaron Michaels and Zack Michaels won that event, in which 65 local anglers competed. Prairie Ridge also participated in weekly meets hosted by Grant and took first twice.

“We have 16 kids that are pretty serious about fishing, and I think that number is going to go up,” Pellikan said. “I was thinking maybe 10 kids might join, but we’re pushing 20 right now. It’s been pretty cool. I have kids stopping me in the hallways all the time. I had a kid email today seeing if he could join the team.”

Pellikan said some team members have tournament experience, and some are just fishing for fun.

“I think kids in McHenry County want to be outdoors,” Pellikan said.

“I think fishing draws in a special kind of person who is really inclined to be patient and has the personality for fishing. I think these communities support it.

“We called up Crystal Lake Park District, we called up the City of Crystal Lake, and they are all about supporting us. I think there’s just a natural fit for this community.”

Lachel said his greatest achievement in the sport has been advocating for the unified division. IHSA and the Special Olympics teamed up in 2015 to provide students with special needs the ability to participate at the bass fishing state meet. It’s been a big hit, Lachel said.

Lachel said the spike in interest has brought up additional discussions of how to accommodate so many boats and anglers in future meets.

“I don’t see it stopping,” Lachel said about the growth of bass fishing. “At some point, we’ll need to have regionals because we’re just going to run out of bodies of water. It would be nice to see 100 boats at the state series, but, ideally, 60 is a good number.

“If it continues to grow at this pace, we won’t have enough bodies of water to accommodate it all.”

• Monday, May 8, 2017

When Huntley’s Erik Lachel arrives to school every day at 6:30 a.m., it’s not uncommon for the social studies teacher and bass fishing coach to be greeted by a handful of excitable Red Raiders students waiting outside his door.

Lachel, an avid fisherman who also sits on the IHSA advisory committee for bass fishing, took over the school’s bass fishing team in 2013.

Back then, with a team of six to eight anglers, Lachel had difficulty filling a boat. Today, the Red Raiders’ bass fishing team is among the biggest in the area with 48 anglers, both boys and girls.

Huntley also is among the most successful teams with three sectional titles in four years. Mary Raclawski caught the biggest fish at the Chain O’Lakes South Sectional last season at 4.57 pounds, and the Red Raiders won a sectional title with a bag of five fish weighing 12.22 pounds.

They went on to place 15th at the state tournament.

“We’re getting so big at the high school, we have very little space for everyone,” Lachel said. “The kids will just come to my room first thing in the morning and talk fishing. They’ll show each other (fishing) videos on YouTube, and they’ll talk about their biggest catch from the weekend.”

While Huntley’s team has more than quadrupled in size since Lachel took over five years ago, he also has noticed growing interest among high school students throughout the McHenry County area.

On Monday, 10 local high schools will be represented at the Chain O’Lakes North and South sectionals in Fox Lake with the top three boats advancing to the state tournament at Carlyle Lake in Carlyle.

Huntley, Dundee-Crown, Prairie Ridge, Crystal Lake South, Hampshire and Marengo will fish for eight hours on the south chain. Alden-Hebron, Johnsburg, Marian Central and Woodstock North co-op will compete on the north.

South, Hampshire and Prairie Ridge have new teams this season, and Dundee-Crown is in its second year.

According to IHSA.org, the number of schools participating in bass fishing has grown from 199 in 2009 (the first year of statewide competition) to 271 in 2017.

Huntley senior Tyler Colton has been on the team all four years of high school and was on the sectional winning boat last year. He, too, has

Renteria ejected; Orioles complete sweep

By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN

ORIOLES 4, WHITE SOX 0

Chicago

BALTIMORE – The refreshing April air in the White Sox’s balloon is leaking out this May. Sunday’s 4-0 loss, the conclusive blow of a three-game sweep by the Orioles, marked the Sox’s sixth loss in the past eight games.

More dispiriting was that it came as ace Jose Quintana, excellent in his previous two starts after a lackluster start, retreated again with a messy four-run performance over 96 pitches and five innings. Quintana (2-5, 4.46 ERA), considered the hottest trade commodity during spring training, got outpitched

by Chris Tillman to ensure a sour finish to a 4-6 road trip that began with two wins against the Tigers and a four-game split with the Royals.

A blown opportunity to put Tillman on the ropes early, three Quintana walks in the first two innings, bloop Orioles singles within inches of each foul line and a couple of debated ballstrike calls was more than Sox manager Ricky Renteria could stomach in one afternoon. Renteria, for something he shouted from the dugout after a striketwo call to Avisail Garcia in the third inning, got ejected for the first time (not counting his rare Cactus League heaveho) by plate umpire Paul Emmel.

White Sox starter Jose Quintana pitches against the Orioles in the first inning Sunday in Baltimore. Quintana gave up four runs in the first two innings of the Sox’s 4-0 loss.

“He ejected me, and that’s all I can say,” Renteria said. “They were able to minimize damage with their pitching, and we need to play cleaner baseball. I think we have for the most part all season.”

But not Sunday, and the first inning set the tone. Tillman, making his season debut after missing spring training with right shoulder bursitis, walked Melky Cabrera and Leury Garcia on

nine pitches to start the game. But Jose Abreu helped Tillman by swinging at what looked like ball four running in on his hands and popped out. After Avisail Garcia reached on a fielder’s choice with Leury Garcia beating third baseman Manny Machado’s attempted force throw to second, Todd Frazier lined out to shortstop and Cody Asche grounded softly to first, letting Tillman off the hook.

GOLF ROUNDUP

Harman wins Wells Fargo, ends Johnson’s streak The ASSOCIATED PRESS WILMINGTON, N.C. – Brian Harman made a 30-foot birdie putt on the final hole Sunday to win the Wells Fargo Championship and deny Dustin Johnson the chance at a fourth straight victory.

Johnson, in his return from a freak back injury that knocked the world’s No. 1 player out of the Masters, went from making the cut on the number to a 67-67 weekend at Eagle Point and appeared headed for a playoff with Harman and Pat Perez.

Harman won it with a birdie-birdie finish, none bigger than the par-5 18th.

After going so long on his second shot that he needed relief from behind a corporate tent, Harman hit a heavy chip that barely got onto the green. From just less than 30 feet away, the putt dropped into the center of the cup and set off a wild celebration, with Harman repeatedly shaking his fists and leaping to share a hard hug with his caddie, Scott Tway.

Contact is not as hard. Hitters don’t have to battle from behind all the time. There’s more pressure on the other side. All those things are interconnected. As we pitch better, we’ll play better.”

The Cubs still managed to fall behind in this game as the Yankees scored a run in the first inning. In first innings this season, the Cubs have been outscored, 41-21.

Things got bad on the back end of the game for the Cubs. They tied it at 1 in the third on a home run by Javy Baez.

The Yankees scored an unearned run against Lester in the seventh as Kris Bryant’s throwing error put Starlin Castro on second base to lead things off.

Aaron Judge followed with a triple over the head of center fielder Jon Jay, but Lester gutted his way through the rest of the inning.

CUBS NOTES

Anderson goes on 10-day DL with strained back

By BRUCE MILES

bmiles@dailyherald.com CHICAGO – The Cubs don’t have to do anything right away about an open spot in their starting rotation, but it looks like they will go one of two ways.

They placed left-handed pitcher Brett Anderson on the 10-day disabled list Sunday because of a strained lower Brett back. Anderson in- Anderson jured himself during the first inning of Saturday night’s 11-6 loss to the New York Yankees at Wrigley Field.

Manager Joe Maddon indicated the Cubs would either move lefty Mike Montgomery out of the bullpen to take Anderson’s spot, or they would recall right-hander Eddie But-

ler from Triple-A Iowa.

The Cubs have an off-day Thursday between series at Colorado and St. Louis. They have another off-day next Monday.

“We can do a lot of different things,” Maddon said. “Just watching these guys pitch the next three days, does anybody need an extra day? Do you want to pop in a sixth guy in there? There are so many different ways to look at it because of the Thursday, Monday (off-days) coming up. So we haven’t committed to anything yet except that it would be one of those two guys.”

The Iowa shuttle: To replace Anderson on the roster, the Cubs recalled right-handed reliever Justin Grimm from Iowa. He had been sent to Iowa on Friday.

The Cubs also recalled infielder Tommy La Stella from Iowa and optioned left-handed pitcher Rob Zastryzny to Iowa. Zastryzny worked

four innings Saturday night upon being called up. La Stella opened the season on the big-league roster.

“I’m feeling OK,” he said Sunday.

“It’s a little bit of a different approach being down there and getting four or five ABs every night. You take a little bit of a different approach. When you get your one (at-bat) in the seventh and you get your pitch, you don’t want to miss it.

“I just wanted to make sure I was getting back into the flow of the game a little bit. It had been awhile. It had been a few years since I was able to play consistently every day and get four and five ABs. Just kind of establishing myself, a little bit different approach.”

Missing Matt: The Cubs are hoping outfielder Matt Szczur can land on another major-league roster after he was designated for assignment Saturday. Maddon called the move “excruciating,” adding that Szczur

“is everything you want in a teammate.”

Szczur was a fifth-round draft pick of the Cubs in 2010, and he made his major-league debut in 2014.

“He’s been prepared for this for a while,” said first baseman Anthony Rizzo. “It’s the best thing for him personally. He loved being a Cub. He’s the embodiment of what being a Cub is all about. He wasn’t selfish at all, knew his role, came in every day with a positive attitude.”

Added La Stella: “Not just me, we’re all going to miss him. He’s a great guy, an awesome teammate.

He’s going to get a shot wherever. I’m sure he’ll make the most of hit. So I’m happy for him there. He and I spoke yesterday after it happened. It’s bittersweet because hopefully he’s going to get an opportunity to take on a little bit more of an expanded role somewhere else. We’re definitely going to miss him around here.”

• Monday, May 8, 2017

CHICAGO – Jon Lester did all he could do – and then some – to will the Cubs to a victory over the New York Yankees on “Sunday Night Baseball.”

The ace of the Cubs’ pitching staff finally got a little help from his friends late, as they rallied in the bottom of the ninth inning to overcome a 4-1 deficit.

They tied it against their World Series reliever, Aroldis Chapman, who hit Anthony Rizzo with the bases loaded to force in the tying run. The teams went to the 10th inning tied at 4. The game remained tied at 4 in the middle of the 16th. At that point, the teams had combined for 42 strikeouts, a Wrigley Field record.

Lester worked seven innings and threw a season-high 120 pitches, allowing three hits and two runs, one earned.

In doing so, he became the first Cubs starting pitcher to work at least seven innings since he did so April 16.

The Cubs are going to need more of that, and manager Joe Maddon knows it.

“Starting pitching drives the engine, for me,” Maddon said before Sunday’s game, repeating a familiar refrain of his. “When you’re doing that right, everybody else has a better opportunity

Justin Grimm, fresh off his recall from Triple-A Iowa earlier in the day, gave up a two-run homer to Jacoby Ellsbury in the eighth.

Cubs batters didn’t do much in this series until the ninth.

But Maddon went so far as to credit the starting pitchers for last year’s crazy run differential of plus-252.

“Last year I talked about that a lot,” he said. “Everybody was looking at our offense. It’s a nice offense, but the starting pitching, the pitching in general, was so good that that created the disparity, the difference in the numbers.”

Could Cubs hitters be pressing?

“Right now, there is probably the proverbial ‘press’ going on,” Maddon said. “Offensively, when you’re behind often, you try a little bit more. Plus, it’s an added advantage to the other team’s pitcher being a little more loose about what’s going on. I have so much confidence in these hitters.

“If we were hitting on all cylinders, literally hitting on all cylinders and these starting pitchers were pitching to their optimal situations, I would be upset or concerned. But I’m not. All of these guys are going to play to their normal levels. We’ll pitch better. We’re definitely going to hit better. Overall, defense I think is holding its own pretty well. I’m pretty satisfied with that.”

6 NASCAR MONSTER ENERGY CUP: GEICO 500 AT TALLADEGA

Stenhouse scores first career Cup win

By JENNA FRYER

The Associated Press TALLADEGA, Ala. – It has been a long journey for Ricky Stenhouse Jr. to make his way to victory lane.

When he finally got there, in his 158th career NASCAR Cup start, his team owner and famous girlfriend were waiting.

His father? Well, he was a little late to the party.

A last-lap pass of Kyle Busch in overtime Sunday got Stenhouse the win at Talladega, which was the first for resurgent Roush Fenway Racing since 2014.

Danica Patrick, who had wrecked out of the race, was in street clothes and able to lean into the car to give her boyfriend a congratulatory kiss.

“Pulling into victory lane and seeing Jack and Danica standing there together, they’re the same height, it was super special,” he said. “She’s been so supportive and knows how hard that I’ve worked, and to have her there was really awesome.”

Ricky Stenhouse Sr. needed a police escort.

The elder Stenhouse tried to climb a fence along the Talladega backstretch and cross the track to find his way to the celebration. When that didn’t work, he began running along a perimeter road. Security picked him up, placed him in a car and questioned him. Final-

ly vetted, he was driven to victory lane to meet his son.

“My dad has done so much for me in my career,” Stenhouse said. “Everything that I’ve learned is from him, and you know, making sure that you have the right people around you is one of the things that he’s all about, making sure that you have people that respect you, that will do anything for you, and man, he sacrificed a lot for me and my career.

“Everything that I know about racing I learned from him, and I’m glad

that he was able to be here in Victory Lane.

It shouldn’t have gone any other way for Stenhouse, a winner at almost every level who has struggled mightily in Cup because of Roush’s rebuilding phase.

A two-time champion in the Xfinity Series, Stenhouse has not transferred that success to the next level. Before this year, he had only seven top-five finishes and led only 44 career laps.

Now he’s in the All-Star race later this month, and has earned a spot in NASCAR’s playoffs.

“We’ve been terrible for a long time, but we’ve been getting better and better every race,” said Stenhouse, who took time to note he “parked it” in victory lane for his late friend, Bryan Clauson.

“I think you go through that so long that you almost lose a little – all your confidence. There’s still things to clean up, and there’s still things to get a lot better at, but man, it feels awesome to have everybody at Roush Fenway stand behind us.”

Patrick had been packing in the couples’ motorhome, watching the race on TV. She soon found herself sitting on the floor, cheering wildly over the final laps. When she reached his car, she leaned in for an admitted “big ol’ kiss.”

“While I never want to crash out of a race ever, at least I was there for the moment when he pulled in, and that’s the bright side. And I got to watch him

win,” she said. “I’m just so, so proud of him. He works his butt off. He works harder than any driver I know. He works tirelessly.”

The race was stopped for almost 27 minutes because of an accident that saw AJ Allmendinger’s car flipped on its roof with 19 laps remaining.

When the red flag was lifted, the race restarted with 15 laps remaining and Busch as the leader. Then a caution with 10 laps remaining set up another restart.

But no one had enough to catch leader Busch as the field was setting itself up for a frantic dash to the finish. Then Ryan Newman spun with three laps remaining to send the race into overtime.

Busch was listed as the leader, followed by Stenhouse, Jimmie Johnson, Kasey Kahne and Jamie McMurray.

Stenhouse got a push alongside Busch and made the pass stick for the win.

McMurray finished second in a Chevrolet and was followed by Busch in a Toyota, then Aric Almirola, another Ford driver and winner of the Xfinity Series race Saturday.

Keselowski won the first stage in what seemed to be a Ford rout. He beat fellow Ford driver Stenhouse to win the segment.

Denny Hamlin gave Toyota its first taste of the front of the field as he won the second stage. It was Hamlin’s first stage win of the season.
