Denise Crosby

The news seems to have taken everyone by surprise. Synthetic marijuana is back — as ugly and as fatal as it was the last time we were writing so many headlines about it after the 2011 death of an Aurora teen. Last week, state officials reported two people have died and 95 have been hospitalized in Illinois after using synthetic pot, popularly known as K2 and Spice. News reports said one fatality was in Kane County, but according to Chief Deputy Coroner Loren Carrera, “we are investigating a death, howev- er it is way too premature” to link it to DENISE CROSBY/BEACON-NEWS synthetic marijuana. “We don’t know Karen Dobner’s 19-year-old son Max died in an accident in 2011 in North Aurora where that report came from, but it is after having a bad reaction to synthetic marijuana and crashing his car. not this office.” One fatality from fake marijuana, be manipulated by manufacturers to ment directed a “substantial amount however, did occur locally on June 14, avoid the controlled substance list. of enforcement” toward mini marts, 2011.

After she was injured in the Aug. 13, 2011, stage collapse at the Indiana State Fair, Alisha Brennon said she was told she might never walk again, let alone do simple tasks like laundry or opening a refrigerator. “I was told I would never have the same memory retention,” she said. With the help of physical ther- apy and the support of friends and family, the 31-year-old Channahon resident not only defied that prognosis, but she also turned the horrifying experience into a pos- itive career change. Though she already had a degree in business management and was working in mortgage foreclosures, she said, “I was tired of sitting behind a desk every day, and I was tired of being mean.” The disaster at the Sugarland concert helped her realize she wanted to work in a field that gave people hope. Her search led her to Joliet Junior College’s Orthotics and Prosthetics Technology Program. That, she said, has changed her life.

ADVERTISEMENT ADVERTISEMENT ADVERTISEMENT If you believe your only options are agonizing knee pain or surgery... You are WRONG! Thousands of Chicagoland Boomers and Seniors are now getting knee pain RELIEF, INSTEAD of knee replacement.

It turns out, the secret of enjoying the “golden years” is NOT simply having a giant nest egg for retirement Why? Recent research showed that Baby Boomers and seniors who lead an active lifestyle during retirement, and continue doing the things they truly enjoy, free of pain, ARE happier, regardless of income level or wealth. And truth be told, people who don’t have their mobility to enjoy their favorite activities at that age, all the money in the world won’t bring true happiness. We know this because we hear people say this over and over again at the Joint Relief Institute in Orland Park. Comments like this . . . “I didn’t know how much LIFE and SLEEP I was missing because of my knee pain, until it went away with this wonderful treatment.” — George R. You know how it is . . .

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING EDITORIAL CARTOON

Why are most infant boys in America circumcised? … In most cases, it serves no medical purpose whatever; like all surgical procedures, it involves risk; it’s traumatiz- ing and terrifying for the infant himself (just watch a few videos of this barbaric procedure performed on tiny babies, strapped spread-eagle to an operating table); and it is the permanent alteration of an individual’s body without his consent. ... Iceland is now contemplating banning the surgery altogether, The New York Times reports. This follows up on a slew of Scandinavian countries that have begun to outlaw what some Europeans rightly describe as the “violation of a child’s physical integrity.” The supporters of the legislation make an underappre- ciated point: Infant circumcision clearly violates the Hippocratic oath — first, do no harm. If there is no medi- cal reason for operating on a tiny, very delicate penis, wrapped tightly in foreskin, and if the operation can lead to irreparable physical and psychological damage if botched, it is medically unethical. There remains the important question of religious freedom, which is why this is such a vexing issue. Even though the procedure is barbaric on its face, and a new religion claiming it was essential would be laughed out of court, Judaism and Islam should surely be grandfathered in. But only Judaism and Islam. The obvious compromise for a humane and civilized country is to forbid routine male genital mutilation of any infant boy for nonreligious or nonmedical reasons.

Jill Schlesinger Jill on Money How we have become a nation of plastic users

Ten years ago, the canary in the finan- cial crisis coal mine died. In March 2008, investment bank Bear Stearns ceased to exist as an independent company. With the help of the Federal Reserve, JPMorgan Chase agreed to buy Bear for $2 a share, down from $159 a year earlier. It was the beginning of the end of a massive credit bubble that started in the housing market and was amplified with financial products that used even more borrowed money. In light of the 10-year anniversary, I’m ditching the traditional tin or aluminum gift and will mark the solemn occasion by exploring some of the foundations that led to the financial crisis of 2008. Today, it’s credit cards. Americans were able to purchase “on ANTONIO GUILLEM/DREAMSTIME credit” as early as the 19th century. Those arrangements were usually extended to good customers, who could be trusted to pay in a timely fashion. The earliest cards were available through individual stores, oil companies and hotels in the 1920s. In 1950, Diners Club rolled out the first Office etiquette universal version, which could be used in a variety of places, and American Express followed suit. Both cards required that person who is infatuated with the sound users pay their bills in full at the end of Do a check to ensure you are of his or her own voice and tends to each month, so they tended to be used by dominate meetings and even casual wealthier people or businessmen. chit-chat by the Keurig.

Paul Sullivan On the White Sox Lopez’s gem can’t be swept from sight Young righty provides reasons for optimism in cold days of rebuild If you’re looking for small victories in the early stages of Year 2 of the White Sox rebuild, Reynaldo Lopez is your man. The right-hander turned in the best outing by a White Sox starter this season Sunday, allowing one unearned first-inning run and only two hits in a seven-inning stint against the Tigers.

Of course the cold weather may have something to do with the Sox’s lethargic offensive showing the last two days. They scored one run Saturday on a JEFFREY PHELPS/AP 32-degree afternoon and were Ben Zobrist reacts after his fourth-inning home run against the Brewers put the Cubs on top 1-0 on Sunday afternoon.

After 80 games, Cristiano Felicio finally is unburdening himself. He’s putting the poor play that defined his season’s start behind him, playing passable minutes in his gift-wrapped op- portunity as a starter. And he’s finally admitting that he felt pressure to perform better after signing a four-year, $32 million contract as soon as free agency began last summer. “At some point, I let the contract get in my head a little bit,” Felicio said. “I felt I had to prove myself more than I did last year. And I think at some point that frustrated me a little bit because I wasn’t playing as well as I did last year. And then I started not getting any minutes. And that frustrated me even more. I knew I had to get out of that funk. I talked to the coaches and they helped me.” With Nikola Mirotic out with broken bones in his face and Bobby Portis on the suspended list, Felicio began the season in the rotation. It didn’t go well.

He had three assists in the last five games of the season. minutes that led to his free-agency windfall, Felicio often looked a step slow defensively. His ability to run the floor and roll to the rim after screens disappeared too often. His hands — often a problem with catching passes — hadn’t improved. “I was a little bit out of rhythm,” Felicio Sikura hits his goal said. “And then Niko and Bobby came back and got my minutes.

MASTERS All action, no distraction Spieth keeps focus on his game — not on the leaderboard

Teddy Greenstein On the Masters

AUGUSTA, Ga. — There’s focus, there’s laser-like focus and then there’s an otherworldly level at which Jordan Spieth operates. Even more incredible than the fact he birdied the first, second, fifth, eighth, ninth, 12th, 13th, 15th and 16th holes at Augusta Na- tional was that he refused to look at a scoreboard Sunday. While Masters fans saw those red numbers surging and thought they were hallucinating, Spieth wore metaphorical blinders. “The first time I saw the leaderboard was after I tapped in on 18,” he said. “Honest to God. Didn’t look once.” Guess he knows what he’s doing considering, at 24, he al- ready has won three majors and contended in four of his five Mas- ters. The rest of us get to the 18th tee, glance at the card, attempt some math and think: Hey, I need a par to break 90. Spieth is fixated on the process. Were he playing on Mars, he’d simply ask caddie Michael Greller for the yardage to the next crater. “When I finished, I looked at the board and I could have been in the lead by two or down four; neither would have surprised me,” he said. “That was my plan. Go out and just have fun. Don’t worry about the golf tournament itself, worry about playing Au- gusta National. With eight people ahead of me starting the day, to get that much help and shoot a fantastic round was nearly impos- sible. But I almost pulled off the impossible.” Spieth started the day nine strokes behind Patrick Reed, six back of Rory McIlroy and four south of Rickie Fowler. It’s not like all three were going to choke. The online books offered 50-1 on Spieth. We’re talking Loyola- making-a-deep-run odds.

By Jerry McDonald San Jose Mercury News

Considering that they let go of Michael Crabtree and signed a man nearly three years older to a contract worth up to $15 million, you could say the Raiders have bet the farm on Jordy Nelson. The shoe fits too. Nelson grew up on a farm in Kansas — 1,000 head of cattle on 4,000 acres. He still goes back most years to help with the wheat harvest before training campand is fondof joking that it takes him a while “to get back into farming shape.” This next part is no joke, though. “It set the foundation of who I am,” Nelson said of farm life. “The hard work, the day-in, day-out grind. Understanding that you have to go to work every day.” Nelson, who turns 33 in May, isn’t being counted on just for running routes and catching passes. The Raiders also think the 6-foot-3, 217-pound wide receiver can help alocker room that seemed to fray last season as the team tumbled to a 6-10 finish. New Raiders wide receivers coach Edgar Bennett was in Green Bay for the entirety of Nelson’s nine-year career with the Packers and believes Nelson’s NFL success began with his upbringing. “That’s the starting point, and the way he is I’m sure came from how he was raised by his parents, beingable to stay true towho he was, being disciplined,” Bennett said. “There’s a carryover to his football career.” Until the Raiders signed Nelson, their public stance on Crabtree had been that he was in their plans. But it was clear something had gone wrong in that relation- ship in the second half of last season. There was the one-game suspension for his fight and ongoing feud with Broncos cornerback Aqib Talib, and there were times when Crabtree was not on the field when game situations suggested he should be. The Raiders contacted Nelson on March 13, the day he was released by the Packers. Two days later, he was in Alameda, Calif., and he didn’t leave until putting pen to paper.Crabtree,30,wasreleasedand signed with the Ravens. The swap hasn’t exactly been met with universal acceptance, given that Nelson had asignificant drop in production last season, catching 53 passes for 482 yards and a career-low 9.1 yards per catch in 15 games. In 2016, Nelson had 97 receptions for 1,257 yards (12.9 yards per catch). Former Raiders defensive backs coach and Hall of Famer Rod Woodson recently joined the chorus of those who say Nelson has lost a step. James Jones, the former San Jose State star who played with Nelson in Green Bay, isn’t buying it. “I know a lot of people are thinking, ‘Oh, man, Crabtree is younger and better,’ ” Jones said. “Jordy has a lot left. And you’re getting a guy with a chip on his shoulder. He will never say it, but trust me, when he does go out here and have a big-time year, he’s going to have one eyeon the Packers,saying, ‘I told you I can still play this game.’ ” In the middle of nowhere, between the Kansas towns of Leonardville and Riley — combined population 1,412 — sits Nelson Angus Farms. Nelson spent his youth there, glued to ESPN and participating in football, basket- ball and track, but only after his completing his daily chores on a farm that has been in the family since his great-great grandfather emigrated from Sweden. Mike Nelson, Jordy’s brother and 18 months his senior, runs the farm, and Jordy plans to rejoin him someday. “I want to be my brother’s hired man,” Jordy Nelson told Wisconsin Agricultur- alist in 2016. “He can pay me when I work, JERRY HOLT/MINNEAPOLIS STAR TRIBUNE and if he has to lay me off, I think I will be As a receiver for the Packers, Jordy Nelson spikes the ball after catching a touchdown pass against the Vikings in 2016.

Luke Terry crouches behind home plate each game, full catcher’s gear on as he sticks his left arm out, ready to corral the next pitch. The baseball comes flying toward him and Terry snags it with his glove, pops the ball up in the air, drops the glove and grabs the ball in midair with his bare left hand, firing it back to the mound or to a base to try to get a runner out. Terry repeats the same smooth motion, pitch after pitch. It’s a process that took six to seven years to perfect, and he is still trying to make it quicker. The 15-year-old from Marshall County in Tennessee isn’t trying to be flashy but has built the routine out of necessity. He only has one arm. “I’ve had a bunch of people reach out and tell me how inspiring it is,” said Terry, who is a ninth-grader at Cornersville High and recently saw his story go viral after a video of him playing catcher was posted on Twitter. “I don’t really know how to explain it. It feels good.” Said Dana Terry, Luke’s mother: “It just makes my heart full every time I watch it because I’ve seen him play and seen him grow, and now everybody is finally seeing what I have been watching for years.” When he was 19 months old, Terry had to have his right arm amputated because of an E. coli infection. He had a total of eight surgeries resulting from the infection, and he flatlined three times, requiring doctors to restart his heart. Terry went into surgery the first time to relieve the pressure in his arm, but doctors discovered that parts of it were already dead. They had hoped the second surgery was only to remove his hand, saving his arm from the elbow up, but they couldn’t. “When they went into surgery the second time to amputate it, they could see the infection growing, so they were rushing into surgery,” Dana said. “We were running into surgery, and it would have killed him if we didn’t have it.” After the second surgery, Luke spent 10 days in the intensive care unit before undergoing surgery six more times to get the infection out. Now he is healthy and playing for the varsity baseball team at Cornersville, a small high school in central Tennessee. Terry is one of three catchers on the team, and when he is not catching he is in the outfield. But catcher is his favorite position. “It is one of the most active positions out there,” Terry said. “You get the ball almost every single play.” Terry also hits, and he has built the strength needed to swing with one arm after his parents and coaches helped him perfect the technique. The teen started playing baseball when he was 4 years old, taking after both his parents, who played sports, and older sister Morgan. Hanging around the ballpark for days on end, Terry decided he too wanted to join in on the family tradition. Since then, he hasn’t stopped playing. Terry said that because he grew up with no right arm, life is seemingly normal to him, both at school and in sports. His mother said he has always been accepted in his small community in Tennessee. “It doesn’t seem to have bothered him,” Dana said. “He didn’t make it a big deal. He would just find a way to do it and he would do it.” Terry has received recognition before, including being the subject of a story in the Tennessean and being invited to an Orioles game as a special guest. But his story went viral again over Easter weekend after the ORIOLES video of him catching during a game was Video of ninth-grader Luke Terry playing baseball with one arm has gone viral on Twitter and been viewed more than 6.5 million times. posted on Twitter.

By Zach Freeman Chicago Tribune

Five songs into musical comedy legend “Weird Al” Yankovic’s second sold-out night at the Vic for his “Ridiculously Self- Indulgent, Ill-Advised Vanity Tour,” I scanned the crowd and caught a beautiful moment. A boy — probably 10 or so — turned to his dad with a big grin on his face and gave him a high-five. The two then turned back toward the stage, ex- citedly belting out song lyrics along with the band.

But how often has the sonic back- drop for this particular scene been a Christmas song, being played in April, describing in gory, sing-songy detail “The Night Santa Went Crazy?” “And he ground up poor Rudolph into reindeer sausage!” the happy, bonding duo sang cheerily with the rest of the crowd. Really, it’s not a lyric you’d expect to hear anywhere, even at a “Weird Al” con- cert. Four-time Grammy winner Yankovic is best known for — and has made a career spanning four decades from — his work as aparodist, taking popular songs and re- writing them with outrageous premises. “The Night Santa Went Crazy” — which appeared on the 1996 album “Bad Hair Day” — is neither a parody, nor was it ever ahit. And yet, the majority of the packed- house audience cheered wildly when the song started. They did the same for the other 16 original (read: nonparody) songs the band played. With this tour, Yankovic has made a huge adjustment to his stand- ard performance and taken a risk, drop-
