Bill would tighten certain bonds They are repaid with revenue from projects they finance By CHELSEA McDOUGALL cmcdougall@shawmedia.com

Legislation filed this week in Springfield could make it harder for McHenry County College to fund its proposed expansion. Sponsored by state Rep. David McSweeney, R-Barrington Hills,

and co-sponsored by state Rep. Jack Franks, D-Marengo, HB983 would make it more difficult for taxing bodies to issue alternate revenue bonds to pay for projects. Alternate revenue bonds typically are issued by taxing districts to pay for projects with the

understanding that the money is backed by an identified revenue stream tied to the project. For example, a municipality could issue alternate revenue bonds for a water treatment plant and use revenue from water bills to repay the bond. However, if the projections

don’t add up, taxpayers are on the hook to repay the loan, which could mean an increase in property taxes. Alternate revenue bonds were used to subsidize Lakewood’s RedTail Golf Course. When it

See BONDS, page A4

At a glance The bill, HB983, is co-sponsored by state Reps. David McSweeney (left), R-Barrington Hills, and Jack Franks (right), D-Marengo. It would lower the number of signatures needed for a referendum on alternate revenue bonds and would require revenue from projects financed with such bonds to cover 150 percent of the debt.

he road system in McHenry County is maintained by a hodgepodge of municipalities, townships, the county and the state. And the system for tracking accidents across the county is equally piecemeal. Enforcement agencies send accident data to the state, but the state doesn’t track accident locations. There are 17 townships and 30 municipalities in McHenry County – and that doesn’t count park districts and school districts, many of which maintain their own roads. Each of these has its own safety and maintenance plans. “Everybody in some way,

shape or form is looking at safety,” said Wally Dittrich, the design manager for the county’s division of transportation. “All those groups have different amounts of resources, especially when you look at townships. They don’t have engineering departments. Even most of your municipalities don’t have engineering departments.” The village of Spring Grove tried electronic accident reporting, but is back to doing it by hand because money from the state dried up, Police Chief Tom Sanders said.

WOODSTOCK – Bob Chmiel’s speech wasn’t about football, but he couldn’t help but sneak in a few references to the sport that’s been his passion. “You’re being observed every day,” he told a Woodstock High School auditorium filled with juniors Wednesday afternoon. “Never take a play off.” Chmiel, director of football operations for the National Collegiate Scouting Association, delivered the first speech of a new monthly series aimed at broadening high school students’ definition of success. Weaving in examples from his days as a recruiter for the University of Notre Dame, Chmiel spoke for about 30 minutes on keys to a successful life – regardless of the road a student chooses. The school’s new Expect Excellence program will bring in a handful of speakers from a range of professions to get students to think outside a linear path to success. English teacher Art Vallicelli, who was on the committee that developed the program, said its intention is to get students to “understand that it doesn’t have to be that four-year degree, graduate school and you’ll finally make six figures.”

Donate or roll for county Kids’ Sake There is no shortage of things to fight about. Gun control. Abortion. Immigration. How traumatized will Johnny be today by the sound of a starter pistol fired in school right before that trigonometry exam? Some things traumatized me in high school. Mostly trigonometry. Fighting is the nature of politics, the news, social media. Heck, it’s human nature. Spend a few hours with my kids. They invent things to fight about. If my hope for their future was reality television, I’d be planning my early retirement. When you’re tired of fighting, there are plenty of things to agree on, such as the terrific work that many local charities perform. The difference between complaints and action is akin to the difference between texting a sports radio station and leading a team to the Super Bowl. So here’s an easy point of agreement: Does anyone disagree that kids

VIEWS Kevin Lyons who need a positive, adult role model to influence their lives should have access to one? That’s the simple premise behind the Big Brothers Big Sisters program. As a new member of the McHenry County BBBS Board of Directors, I’m still learning the ins and outs, but the local chapter served 540 kids last year through both the traditional match program and school-based programs. If you’re familiar with Big Brothers Big Sisters, you know it’s a terrific program. If not, you can find out just about everything you’d need to know at www.bbbsmchenrycounty.org. While volunteers are a huge part of the organization, it takes qualified staff and donations to run the pro-

gram. If you’ve ever met Executive Director Robyn Ostrem, you’ve met as dedicated and talented of a nonprofit leader as you can find. So the rest of this column, actually all of it, is little more than a shameless plug for McHenry County BBBS’s big fundraiser – Bowl for Kids’ Sake. It starts next month and goes into early March, although registration already is under way. The Lyons family plans to take our Slow Your Roll team to Crystal Bowl, 4504 E. Terra Cotta, Crystal Lake, on Feb. 24. We are to bowling what the Kardashians are to discretion. It takes the 4-year-old roughly 45 minutes to propel a 6-pound sphere across an oiled, wood surface until the pins even flinch. But if you’re not a bowling purist and want to contribute to BBBS through our family’s team, you can do so at http://tinyurl.com/bxgqth8. If you’re not a big fan of this

column, thanks for sticking through this far and no hard feelings. You could instead donate to a nice Northwest Herald reporter team at http:// shawurl.com/hxp. Even better, start your own team or persuade your co-workers or company to sponsor or form a team – maybe several teams. Each team member is asked to raise at least $75 in donations for the events held in late February and early March. There’s also flexibility with the dates, and you can structure your own event. So check out www.bbbsmchenry. org/bowl or call BBBS at 815-385-3855 for information on the 2013 Bowl or Kids’ Sake event. Help pick up a spare for a local kid.

The agency relies on the papers to line its puppy cages. It is now turning to the city’s public library to ensure a consistent newspaper supply. The San Francisco Chronicle reported that the agency will pick up newspapers from the library about twice a month. Agency supervisor Eric Zuercher said the arrangement solves a big problem. The agency had previously relied on public contributions and donations from the Chronicle.

Report: Ill. prison hire had clout, not skills By JOHN O’CONNOR The Associated Press SPRINGFIELD – The Illinois Department of Corrections filled a high-ranking prison administrator’s position with a man who had political clout but whose qualifications fell far short of the agency’s own job-description requirements, a state investigation has found. The Illinois Executive Ethics Commission, in a report released Wednesday, did not name the administrator or the prison where he works. But it indicated he had prior experience only in teaching theater, as an assistant manager at a “movie store,” and managing

view of the employee’s status showed that he “has achieved the requisite education and employment experience” for the job. It’s the second time in less than three months that Executive Inspector General Ricardo Meza has found hiring violations in the Quinn administration. Meza reported in November that he found 10 violations of hiring law at the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity. Those jobs were subject to a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that prohibits hiring based on political considerations, based on an Illinois case known as “Rutan.” Alleged Rutan violations by the administration

of Quinn’s predecessor, Rod Blagojevich, drew the interest of federal prosecutors and led to the Democrat’s conviction for political corruption and a 14-year prison sentence. The corrections position discussed in the report is one that is exempt from Rutan rules, meaning the governor’s administration may hire someone who has political connections. But the commission noted that corrections listed six detailed qualifications for the post, and that state policy requires an agency to ensure a hiring candidate “meets the minimum training and experience qualifications for the position.”

Inaugural performer fatally shot

Former U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, who was seriously injured in a mass shooting two years ago, speaks Wednesday before the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on gun violence, with her husband, Mark Kelly, beside her.

The ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHICAGO – A 15-year-old girl who had performed in President Barack Obama’s inauguration festivities is the latest face of the ever-increasing homicide toll in the president’s hometown, killed in a Chicago park by a gunman who apparently was not even aiming at her. Chicago police said Hadiya Pendleton was talking with friends in a park in a South Side neighborhood Tuesday afternoon when a man opened fire on the group. Hadiya was shot in the back as she tried to run. The city’s 42nd slaying is part of Chicago’s bloodiest January in more than a decade, following on the heels of 2012, which ended with more than 500 homicides for the first time since 2008. It also comes at a time when Obama, spurred by the Connecticut elementary school massacre in December, is actively pushing for tougher gun laws. Hadiya’s father, Nathaniel Pendleton, spoke Wednesday at a police news conference. “He took the light of my life,” Pendleton said. He then spoke directly to the killer: “Look at yourself, just know that you took a bright person, an innocent person, a nonviolent person.” Police said Hadiya had no arrest record and there was no indication anyone in the group was a member of a gang.

Giffords pleads for gun curbs NRA fights back in clash over laws By ALAN FRAM The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Severely wounded and still recovering, former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords begged lawmakers at an emotional hearing Wednesday to act quickly to curb firearms because “Americans are counting on you.” Not everyone agreed, underscoring the national political divide over gun control. Giffords’ 80-word plea was the day’s most riveting moment, delivered in a hushed, halting voice two years after the Arizona Democrat suffered head wounds in a Tucson mass shooting that killed six people. The session also came two months after 20

Madigan says unions no help on pensions The ASSOCIATED PRESS

SPRINGFIELD – In a sharp response to claims that public employees’ pension reform concerns have been overlooked, Illinois House Speaker Michael declined an invitation Wednesday to a labor unions summit aimed at discussing the crisis. The Chicago Democrat released a letter to labor leader Michael Carrigan of the “We are One Illinois” coalition that urged an “honest proposal” to fix the $96 billion problem. “To date, we have received no cooperation from the labor unions representing state employees on addressing these challenges,” Madigan wrote in an RSVP to the Feb. 11 conference. “In fact, these unions

often have been strongly opposed to any attempt to solve the problem.” The letter’s acidic tone was a deviation from the powerful but legendarily reserved Madigan. His Democratic roots run deep with support for labor but he has clashed with workers over the years on such issues as teacher tenure, restrictions on the ability to unionize and pension benefits for future state employees. Negotiations over how to solve an increasing pension liabilities problem – a taxpayer burden that’ll be up to nearly $7 billion next year – continues in earnest next week, when Gov. Pat Quinn likely will make the issue central to his State of the State address.

first-graders and six women were slain by a gunman who invaded Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. At the same hearing, a top official of the National Rifle Association rejected Democratic proposals to ban assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines and said requiring background checks for all gun purchases would be ineffective because the Obama administration isn’t doing enough to enforce the law as it is. Even if stronger background checks did identify a criminal, “as long as you let him go, you’re not keeping him from getting a gun and you’re not preventing him from getting to the next crime scene,” said Wayne LaPierre, the NRA’s executive vice president. He said poor enforcement is “a national disgrace.”

Giffords, who retired from Congress last year, focused during her brief appearance on the carnage from armed assailants. “Too many children are dying,” she said at the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing. “Too many children. We must do something. It will be hard, but the time is now.” Guiding her in and remaining to testify was Mark Kelly, the retired astronaut who is Giffords’ husband. The couple, who both owns guns, has formed a political action committee called Americans for Responsible Solutions that backs lawmakers who support gun restrictions. “We’re simply two reasonable Americans who realize we have a problem with gun violence and we need Congress to act,” Kelly said. Wednesday’s session played out in a hearing room packed to capacity.

Illinois House returns, prepares for session

Police: Suspect at large in fatal Ariz. shooting

SPRINGFIELD – The Illinois House returned to work as the General Assembly gears up for a spring session that promises a continuing struggle over how to close a $96 billion funding gap in the state’s public-employee pension system. House members were in session Wednesday but canceled today’s scheduled session. The Senate returns next week and a joint session Feb. 6 will hear Gov. Pat Quinn’s State of the State address. Lawmakers were last in Springfield on Jan. 9.

PHOENIX – A gunman opened fire at a Phoenix office complex Wednesday, killing one person, wounding two others and setting off a manhunt. Police warned the public that he was “armed and dangerous.” Authorities identified the suspect as 70-year-old Arthur Douglas Harmon, who they said opened fire at the end of a mediation session. They identified a man who died hours after the late morning shooting as 48-year-old Steve Singer.

No halfway house needed for Ryan By MICHAEL TARM The Associated Press CHICAGO – Former Gov. George Ryan was released from prison before dawn Wednesday, stopping only briefly at a halfway house before he was allowed to travel home to serve the rest of his sentence for corruption. By midday, the 78-yearold was sitting in the living room of his spacious home in a leafy northern Illinois neighborhood in Kankakee, beaming and surrounded by his children and grandchildren, said Ryan’s attorney and also a former governor, Jim Thompson. “If you could see his and his grandkids’ smiling faces,” said Thompson, speaking by phone from Ryan’s house. “He is surrounded by happy faces.” Amid an already emotion-packed day for Ryan, a grandchild handed him an urn shortly after his arrival at home that held the ashes of his wife, Lura Lynn, who died in 2011, Thompson said. He and his wife had raised their children in the same house. Ryan’s discharge to home confinement just hours after arriving at the halfway house seemed to surprise even Thompson, who insisted Ryan got no special treatment. He said officials simply determined he didn’t

need the services halfway homes provide such as assistance in writing checks and interviewing for jobs. “The bureau of prisons is tough,” Thompson said. “They don’t play favorites.” He noted that prison officials refused to bend the rules, for instance, when Ryan asked to attend his wife’s funeral; George Ryan t h e r e q u e s t was denied. Ryan, a Republican, served five-plus years behind bars for multiple corruption convictions, walking out of his federal prison in Terre Haute, Ind. at about 1 a.m. Wednesday – his son driving him the 200 miles north to Chicago. His first stop after getting to the Chicago area was at Thompson’s house, where the two had coffee and Ryan changed from sweat pants into a business suit and put on the first tie he’d worn in years, Thompson said. Later, looking relaxed and thinner than before prison, he walked past throngs of reporters into a Chicago halfway house just before 7 a.m. Wednesday. Ryan smiled faintly but didn’t speak to reporters. Ryan will be under home confinement until his sentence officially ends July 4.

8BRIEFS Judge nixes Sandusky’s bid for new abuse trial HARRISBURG, Pa. – Jerry Sandusky lost a bid for a new trial Wednesday when a judge rejected his argument that his lawyers were not given enough time to prepare for the three-week proceeding that ended with a 45-count guilty verdict on child sex abuse charges. Judge John Cleland’s order said lawyers for the former Penn State assistant football coach conceded that their post-trial review did not turn up material that would have changed their strategy. Cleland also rejected motions regarding jury instructions, hearsay testimony and a comment by the prosecution during closing arguments that referred to the fact that Sandusky, who did not testify

at trial, gave media interviews after he was arrested in 2011.

Israeli jets bomb military target in Syria BEIRUT – Israel launched a rare airstrike inside Syria, U.S. officials said Wednesday, targeting a convoy believed to contain anti-aircraft weapons bound for Hezbollah militants in Lebanon. The attack adds a potentially flammable new element to tensions already heightened by Syria’s civil war. Regional security officials said the strike, which occurred overnight Tuesday, targeted a site near the Lebanese border, while a Syrian army statement said it destroyed a military research center northwest of the capital, Damascus. They appeared to be referring to the same incident.

Teachers will incorporate speakers’ words into class • SUCCESS

Continued from page A1 Life doesn’t unfold so neatly for most, Vallicelli said. Some students will head to college and find white-collar jobs, he said. Others “are maybe going to get an associate or some sort of certification and be in the workforce at age 20. You don’t need to have that perfect pathway to success.” Representatives of Black Diamond Plumbing and Mechanical and the Northwest Herald will address students in the coming months. Going forward, some speakers will bounce around classrooms to speak with students on a more intimate level, and teachers will try to incorporate some of what they say into classroom activity, Vallicelli said.

Chmiel, who has shared a sideline with former coaches Lou Holtz, Bo Schembechler and Lee Corso, offered three main suggestions Wednesday: Excel every day at what you do, be the best student you can be, and have the character to be a good person even when you think nobody’s watching. “This is the most important one: You had better possess great character,” he said. “Character is who you are when you’re alone in the dark.” Circling back to football, Chmiel said the most important lesson the sport offers comes from the huddle, where an individual’s background doesn’t matter. “All I care about is do I trust you, do you love what you do, can you help me execute this play for the betterment of the group,” he said.

County in state’s top 8 on severe crash list • CRASHES

Continued from page A1 “I think there are a lot of good ideas and things out there,” he said. “It just kind of falls flat on its face. It’s manpower and money.” During the economic downturn, budgets got tight and when people left, positions weren’t filled, he said. If reports were automatic and the state helped out, he said he could see a lot of agencies, the Spring Grove Police Department included, participating. Spring Grove doesn’t have very many accidents, and 30 percent or 40 percent of the ones it has occur on private property, Sanders said. There’s not so many that staff can’t track them – but to send data on to the county is above and beyond what his officers have time for, he said. As the Illinois Department of Transportation takes its Driving Zero Fatalities to Reality initiative to the next level, it’s looking to expand access to data and issue data

in days instead of months. The state’s zero-fatalities initiative, started last year, has been most visible in the fatality counts posted on highway message boards. The state has reached out to McHenry County and seven other counties with the most fatal or severe-injury accidents per road-mile traveled. The other counties are DuPage, Kane, Lake, Will, Winnebago, Champaign and Vermilion. Last year, 24 people were killed on McHenry County roads – more than in each of the previous four years, when there were 14 to 18 people killed in crashes, according to Illinois Department of Transportation data. Statewide, fatalities also rose last year by 43 deaths to a total of 961. The state is working with the counties to identify commonalities in accidents, such as age groups, crash types or deficiencies, and put together comprehensive safety plans, Dittrich said. The state has added 26 new data fields to accident reports

to track factors such as distracted driving. One thing to come out of this process is the McHenry County Safety Committee, a collection of representatives from government and enterprise. It’s a chance for engineers, law enforcement and educators to trade ideas. The county also wants to create a website for ideas that different communities implement. It further plans to lend accident-mapping technology to smaller entities that otherwise couldn’t afford it. “There’s only so much that any one of us can do,” Dittrich said. “We all rely on each other. We don’t have all the money in the world. We can’t add turn lanes and stoplights and make every intersection safer.” But entities can do little things such as putting up

bigger signs, adding reflective stripes to sign posts and increasing lighting, Dittrich said. The county has some such projects scheduled to address public safety and is looking at solutions such as adding turn lanes and roundabouts. Intersection improvements are planned for Charles and Raffel roads and at River and Dowell roads in 2014. Improvements at Charles and Raffel roads were planned to prevent accidents ahead of a problem, Dittrich said. Traffic is growing at the intersection because of Woodstock’s new high school, and there is a fire station nearby and the back entrance to county facilities. The intersection at River and Dowell roads, just east of Holiday Hills, is right for a roundabout, Dittrich said, because “to make a turn, you’re basically looking backward.” Roundabouts are getting more and more attention, he said. Wisconsin, for example, has more than 200 roundabouts, according to its Department of Transportation.

State rep cites golf course as example of problem • BONDS

Continued from page A1 turned out the golf course was not taking in enough to pay off the debt, taxpayers were left footing the bill – regardless of whether the residents played the course. “Lakewood was a disaster, and I don’t want that to happen with McHenry County College,” McSweeney said. MCC is in the middle of a feasibility study, the second stage in its proposed expansion. The college is considering more classrooms and lab space for health and wellness curriculum, plus a fitness center and health clinic. Alternate revenue bonds are

being looked at as one way to pay for the estimated $42 million project. Franks says neither Lakewood nor MCC’s project motivated him to sign on with HB983. He called it a “common-sense piece of legislation,” and said he’s seen ways governments have sidestepped voters under current law. “Too many times decisions are made without public input,” Franks said. “This is an additional check and balance that the taxpayers would have. ... Whenever taxes are being raised, taxpayers ought to have a voice in whether or not that should occur.” Under the McSweeneyFranks bill, it would be easier for voters to have a say on

issuing these bonds. The bill would decrease the number of signatures required to initiate a referendum. Their bill also would require that revenue from projects financed with alternate revenue bonds be able to pay 150 percent of the debt, an increase from 100 percent in the current law. Any surplus would be refunded to property owners. “These are not foolproof,” McSweeney said. “It gives a cushion to the system.” The legislation also provides that a chief procurement officer oversees such projects, rather than local analysts. The current law requires an “independent accountant or feasibility analyst” who determines whether the taxing

unit has sufficient revenues to back the bonds. “I don’t like the idea of local consultants doing these studies,” McSweeney said. “Let’s make it a fair and nonpartisan person looking into these.” For its study, MCC hired Addison-based Power Wellness. Critics of the college’s plan have said Power Wellness presents a conflict of interest because the firm potentially could be a financial partner. MCC officials maintain there is no impropriety because Power Wellness has never signed on to finance the project. It’s too early in the process for financial partners to be identified, MCC trustees said.

Legislative inaction not an option With Illinois’ 98th General Assembly now under way, the state’s pension funding crisis has only grown more urgent. It is up to the public to add to that urgency by demanding solutions from legFor the record islators. Illinoisans are paying With the new legislative more in taxes and session under way, we urge getting less for our readers to hold state lawtheir money. It’s makers accountable. Pension time that ended. reform must happen. Inaction Illinois’ credit is no longer tolerable. rating is dead last among the 50 states, according to bond rating agencies Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s, which lowered the state’s credit rating last week citing – what else? – the state’s failure to address the $96 billion in unfunded liability to its five public pension systems. The downgrade means that it costs more for state government to borrow money, which means Illinois’ taxpayers get less for their tax dollar than residents of other states. Illinois also owes about $9 billion in past-due bills that go back as far as September. Its largest creditor, the University of Illinois, is owed more than $430 million. Many of those that are owed are nonprofit organizations who cannot afford to be de-facto lenders for our deadbeat state government. For the non-government creditors, the state also pays 1 percent interest for every month its payments are delayed. Yet another way Illinoisans’ tax dollars are being wasted. But Illinois lawmakers thus far have chosen to let this situation continue to worsen rather than cut spending or address the pension crisis. It’s been less painful for them to let things continue to grow worse than to actually remedy this situation. That’s because the solution will require compromises that will be painful for all sides. Taxpayers already have been socked with a 67 percent income-tax increase, revenue that has gone entirely toward funding the pension liability. The staggering numbers, both in deficits and in pension payouts, make it clear that the state’s pensions no longer can be so generous. Reducing, temporarily freezing, or eliminating cost-of-living increases, and increasing recipient contributions for health care and other benefits are viable options. Caps on pension payouts should be instituted, particularly for those who are pulling in more than six figures annually. We also have opposed shifting the burden for funding teachers’ pensions to local school districts, but there might need to be compromise on this. Other questions need to be considered for the long term, including ending the pension program and replacing it with a 401(k)-style plan, which most private-sector workers have today. Our state also needs to spend less money, and that means it needs to cut programs, and not just in prisons. It might mean forsaking programs from which we benefit personally. It might mean forsaking programs that can be duplicated by the private sector. Illinois can do so much better, and the public must demand that it does. Nothing should be off the table, with the exception of the course we have taken the past few years: inaction.

8IT’S YOUR WRITE Great bus service To the Editor: What a blessing the Grafton Township bus is. It is available to take you to physical therapy and to get away from the house. For handicapped people who are in wheelchairs, it is even more important. Everybody who takes the bus likes riding the bus. This service does so much for the elderly. It also keeps unsafe drivers off the road. The fare is very reasonable and affordable, even on fixed incomes. Due to Grafton Township Supervisor Linda Moore’s work maintaining the bus routes and the bus, it continues to help us get out. Moore’s staff is very courteous, polite and knowledgeable. The bus is always warm in the winter and cool in the summer. Thank you, Grafton Township Supervisor Linda Moore, for all that you do. Matt Heflin Huntley

Madigan politics To the Editor: Let me see if I have this straight. The McHenry County Board voted, 11 to 9, to not put a measure on the April ballot that would have let me vote on whether voters should select the board chairman. There are 24 board members. Doing the math, only 45 percent of the board members voted to keep the “cannot-be-trusted-voters” out of the voting procedure. Of course, four members conveniently were absent, therefore

allowing a 45 percent vote to represent a majority of board members. Were the missing four docked pay for the meeting, or were they absent so in the future they could say “I did not vote against the voters’ choice” when running for future re-election? Sounds like a Michael Madigan politics in McHenry County to me. Chuck Berndt McHenry

Character counts To the Editor: After attending a two-hour zoning board meeting with about 200 people to oppose a discount gas station and convenient store at the intersection of Pearl Street and Route 21, I came home confused, sad and baffled. My conclusion was the decision already was made on behalf of the gas station before the meeting was started, as it quickly went into motions to change variances to allow this. Anyone there who listened to both sides would know children, safety, people and homes are of much more value than the money gained on behalf of the business. To hear that the gas stations would be designed to fit into the neighborhood, school and church is absurd. To hear that there will be no threat or safety issues to young schoolchildren because there will be a special light for crossing is nuts. To hear that most people do not take a left turn into a gas stations so as not to back up traffic on Route 31 is silly.

All who live here feel threatened and concerned for children, homes and property. We see this as destruction. Our homes will lose their value. No on will want to live and raise a family here.

Composting concerns To the Editor: When you live in a residential area, there are concerns about composting. There are guidelines for this, just as there are rules for dogs and cats running loose and people piling junk in their yards. The odor from an open compost pile can be very unpleasant. It draws all kinds of animals. These animals don’t have to do what is natural to them to hunt for

their food. It is being served to them. Animals don’t have to look to nature for housing. Junk piles provide for them. I am sure that I am not the only one who has had to spend time and money in repairs caused by animals digging around foundations and burrowing under decks. I make sure that my garbage is picked up and in a covered container so as not to be a nuisance to my neighbors. When the garbage from an open compost pile is dragged onto my property, I have to pick it up. There are dangers to people and pets confronted by a cornered or startled animal, not to mention the disease these animals may have. Rabies is a real concern. Composters, have you wondered why neighbors plant tall flowers and shrubs on your side of their property? No one really wants to look at a compost pile. There are ways to compost safely and efficiently without creating problems for other people. I always have tried to respect my neighbors and their property. I believe I deserve the same.

‘Zero Dark Thirty’ deserves Oscar in thought-provoking category

In retrospect, a better title for the terrific film “Zero Dark Thirty” would have been “Rorschach.” Like the famous ink blots developed by Swiss psychoanalyst Hermann Rorschach, some people look at the film and conclude that torture works and others conclude it doesn’t and still others think the movie advocates torture while some – and now we have gotten to me – don’t know what to think. I am implacably opposed to torture ... unless it can save lives. This foggy position of confusion and ambiguity largely has been missing from the debate over the film. Everyone seems so sure of everything. The rush for certainty started, I think, with the basso profundo statements from the filmmakers that the movie is – as the credits state – “Based on firsthand accounts of actual events.” I have no idea what this means since the director, Kathryn Bigelow, and the screenwriter, Mark Boal, concede that they used composite characters and have necessarily compressed the 10-

year hunt for Osama bin Laden into a two-and-a-half-hour movie. Some things get left out, like truth. Almost instantly, three members of the Senate intelligence committee, Dianne Feinstein, Carl Levin and John McCain, protested the film’s depiction of torture as instrumental in locating and ultimately killing bin Laden. They insisted instead that it was dogged intelligence work, the piecemeal accumulation of information that, say what you will about it, is not inherently dramatic. No one will ever make an action movie about an accountant. The three senators have access to highly classified information and, while their demand that the CIA fess up and detail its cooperation with the filmmakers is out of bounds, their experience and knowledge have to be taken into account. As a group, they are a somber lot. Still, others have taken the same position. Journalists with no access to classified information but with access to people who possess it in-

VIEWS Richard Cohen sist that 1. torture doesn’t work and 2. it did not lead to the killing of bin Laden. OK, point taken. But for me, the debate has gone beyond the veracity of the film – all movies are lies to some extent and the greater lie is to claim they are not – to all these declarative statements about the morality of torture. They come out, veritably smoking, from various journalists, who cite reports of detainees who died under torture with their lips sealed. Our own fear of intense pain is beside the point: What would work on you or me might not on a diehard jihadist, for whom torture is a mere occupational hazard. Perhaps the most unequivocal statement comes from Steve Coll in The New York Review of Books. Coll is a former editor at The Washing-

8THE FIRST AMENDMENT

ton Post and the author of “Ghost Wars: The Secret History of the CIA, Afghanistan, and Bin Laden, from the Soviet Invasion to September 10, 2001” for which, appropriately, he won the Pulitzer Prize. He is, in other words, a highly serious and thoughtful person who says the following: “Even if torture worked, it could never be justified because it is immoral.” Really? Is it immoral to waterboard someone who knows of an imminent Sept. 11-type attack? Wouldn’t it instead be immoral not to do everything in your power to avoid the loss of thousands of lives? Torture in that case might be hideous, repugnant and in some rarefied way still immoral, but I could certainly justify it. This is far different than waterboarding an al-Qaida member who knows something about bin Laden’s whereabouts. After all, if it took a decade to get him, a bit more time would not have mattered. Morality and the clock are, inescapably, connected.

The trouble with this debate is that it has taken on an MSNBC-Fox News quality – the need to establish uncomplicated positions. The phrase “it depends” has been chased from our political life – a sign of feared wishy-washiness, which is, crucially, bad for TV ratings. But it would be all right with me if the government were silent on torture so that no detainee could be confident of civilized treatment or if, in a crisis, an understandable looking away was permitted. Life ain’t neat. The Rorschachian qualities of “Zero Dark Thirty” have proved beneficial. We are getting a robust debate over torture that we should have had years ago, and we are finding out a bit more about it – whether it works and whether it can ever be justified. In this way, what the film says is really less important than what is being said about it. In the category of “thought provoking,” it deserves an Oscar.

Judge clears teacher of theft By SARAH SUTSCHEK ssutschek@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – A Huntley special-education teacher and cheerleading coach was acquitted Wednesday on charges of stealing a student’s cellphone and iPod. Kimberlee L. Hoffman, 43, was charged with theft, a misdemeanor. After a bench trial, in which a judge deter-

mines the verdict rather than a jury at the defendant’s request, McHenry County Judge Charles P. Weech found her not guilty. The student Kimberlee L. testified she left her iPod Hoffmann Touch and Motorola Atrix cellphone in

a bathroom stall at Huntley High School on Sept. 5. She said she saw Hoffman enter the stall, realized that she had forgotten the items and saw Hoffman leave. The student said she didn’t stop Hoffman and ask for her things back. Hoffman’s attorney, Dan Hofmann, who is of no relation, said that his client grabbed the items and put them in her cheerleading

bag, told several coaches that she had found them and then forgot about them. It was homecoming, a very busy time of year, and the items simply were not a priority, he said. “She forgot, just like [the student] forgot.” In the meantime, the student’s parents had repeatedly sent texts, called the phone and tracked it using a GPS application.

Kilroy said he believes the fire started in the center of the house, possibly near the bathroom. To view video of the fire, visit NWHerald.com.

D-158 contract deepens budget deficit School year red ink grows by $302K, but covered by surplus By STEPHEN Di BENEDETTO sdibenedetto@shawmedia HUNTLEY – The new teachers contract will dip District 158’s budget further into red ink, but administrators said they can absorb it as long as state education funding remains stable. The Huntley district’s recently revised $81.5 million budget for the school year shows a $1.76 million deficit, or a hole $302,450

deeper than the budget that district board members approved in September. The larger deficit is primarily being driven by additional teachers’ salary increases, said Mark Altmayer, the district’s chief financial officer. “The contract definitely had a material impact on the budget, but we feel because of the financial shape that we are in, we can manage through it,” Altmayer said.

The district finished last school year with a $1.86 million surplus, he said. B o a r d m e m b e r s e ndorsed the September budget, knowing they would have to change it to reflect increases in teacher salaries. Lengthy negotiations with district teachers ultimately produced a threeyear, $3.57 million contract that covers July 2012 to June 2015.

CARY – Cary-Grove High School junior Mike Harris was in his chorus class about 9 a.m. Wednesday when his teacher locked and barricaded the door. Harris and his classmates sat calmly against a wall in the dark and heard what sounded like a muffled crack. It was the first of two blanks fired from a starter pistol in the hallway as part of a “Code Red” lockdown drill to prepare students for the possibility there could be a shooter in the school. School officials fired the blanks so students could know the sound of gunfire. Harris said he wasn’t scared. “There’s a difference between hearing a sound and someone running toward you with a weapon,” Harris said. He said he thought the drill was a good idea. “It’s a shame ... that this has become more of a common occurrence in schools.” Shortly after 9 a.m., Principal Jay Sargeant made an announcement that the school was in a “Code Red” lockdown. During the drill, school officials and Cary police went around the building making sure classrooms were locked. School personnel knocked on classroom doors and asked the teachers to open up, which they were supposed to ignore, said Jeff Puma, District 155 spokesman. Sargeant then made a second announcement that the starter pistols would be fired. Two school deans, in different wings of the school, each fired one blank about 9:10 a.m. Some parents had complained that shooting blanks to familiarize students with the sound of gunfire went too far. Puma said absences as a result of the drill were minimal. The district has done lockdown drills for several years with teachers, but this is the first year students were involved, Puma said.

Lakemoor man acquitted of home invasion, battery By SARAH SUTSCHEK ssutschek@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – After about three hours of deliberation, a jury Wednesday acquitted a Lakemoor man on charges of breaking into his on-and-off girlfriend’s home and punching her repeatedly in the head. Robert L. Hilt, 36, had faced between six and 30 years in pris-

on if convicted of home invasion. He also was charged with two counts of domestic battery. Hilt and the alleged victim have known each other since they were 11, dated for about four years and have a child together. The woman had an emergency order of protection against Hilt that expired in early September 2011. A final order was entered, but Hilt

did not know about it, said his attorney, Brian K. Stevens. The alleged victim, whose mother lived with her, testified Tuesday that her daughter asked Hilt to come back into the home to help with the couple’s daughter. Hilt took off for about 36 hours, had a disagreement and left again, the alleged victim said. She said he then broke into her home by

knocking out a window pane to open a door, forced his way in and began beating her in the back of the head. A deputy testified that he went to the home and found Hilt lying on the road with blood on his face. Hilt eventually was taken to a hospital and told police that several of the woman’s relatives had beat him up that night. During closing arguments,

Stevens pointed out that the woman had invited Hilt back into the home. “She can’t just turn it on and off like a light switch,” Stevens said. “If she’s saying come back, he has authority. She can’t just switch it like that and now call this a home invasion.” Prosecutors, however, said that the final order of

Police chief: Drill ‘sad commentary on society’ • DRILL

Continued from page B1

After the 10- to 15-minute drill ended, teachers and students talked about it and discussed how students would react in different scenarios, such as if they were in the hallway or the computer lab, Puma said. Cary Police Chief Steve Casstevens said the drill was important to prepare students for an actual emergency. “It went in an incredibly orderly fashion,” Casstevens said. “That’s what we hope for. That’s why we practice. “I suppose it’s a sad commentary on society that we have to run drills like this. But the reality is we have to run drills like this. This is the real world. We can’t stick our head in the sand. We need to prepare for when real things

She sat in the locker room on the floor in the dark and never heard the shots. Liautaud, who has been hunting, said she didn’t think the drill was useful. “I didn’t really understand the purpose of it at all. For those who have heard a gunshot, it’s not really com-

parable to firing blanks ... in a hallway,” Liautaud said. “I think for those who haven’t heard a gunshot, for this drill to be the purpose of that was completely unnecessary.” Speaking outside the school after Wednesday’s dismissal bell, junior Nicole Swoboda said she didn’t have any problems with the drill. “I think it’s better that they did it, so if it does happen, we’re fine, and we know what to do,” she said. District 155 Superintendent Johnnie Thomas also was at Cary-Grove to observe the exercise. “I think ultimately it’s our responsibility to make sure that all of our students are safe and can respond under pressure,” Thomas said. “We need to make sure they have the ability to respond in an appropriate manner. I think this goes a long way in doing that.”

lion a year. Despite the added costs, the district will maintain a balanced budget as long as the state makes its payments to the district, Altmayer said. “The financial shape is only as good as what the state presents us with,” he said. “There continues to be uncertainty with the state’s finances, but we still are in a fairly good financial position.” The board recently placed the revised budget on file for review. Board members will vote on it Feb. 22.

Those increases were frozen in the one-year contract that expired in June. The revised budget reflects $522,000 more for salaries and benefits.

tent, they said, with her face being smashed into the floor while being punched in the back of the head. Stevens, however, questioned why there were no photos of the back of her head. “If that really happened, wouldn’t those photographs be much more disturbing?” Stevens said. “Those photographs really show nothing.” Outside of court after the verdict, Hilt said he hadn’t been worried. He said the entire incident was a coverup for the beating by his ex’s family members. Hilt still has a misdemeanor case pending on a charge that he violated the terms of his bond. Since December, he has worn an ankle device with GPS tracking, which now will be removed. Hilt said he looks forward to getting back to work as a machinist.

Stevens also pointed to a voice mail the alleged victim left for the McHenry County State’s Attorney’s Office saying she would testify that her statement to police was a lie. She wrote a letter recanting, as well. When she took the stand, however, she said Hilt coerced her into doing that by saying that their daughter had just lost her grandma and it would be bad if her father went away, too. Prosecutors also pointed to police photographs of the woman on the night of the incident. They showed red marks on a cheek, consis-

time lapse, as well as Hoffman’s decision not to turn in the items to a nearby lost and found or make any effort to find the owner, were evidence that she didn’t intend to give them back. But Hofmann, the defense attorney, said the entire case was evidence of a “nanny state.” He criticized both police and prosecutors, who he said bowed to the wish of the student’s parents to have his client charged. Judge Weech said the case was an example of how quickly life can change and clearly a “coulda or shoulda” situation. There was a protocol for handling lost items by turning them over to the office, but Hoffman made a choice not to follow it, Weech said. “Could Mrs. Hoffman taken 30 seconds to turn the items in?” he said. “She could have, clearly.” However, one of the elements that prosecutors had to prove was that Hoffman intended to permanently deprive the owner. They did not do that, Weech said.

Blackhawks can’t win ’em all Loss is first after 6-0 start By DAVE CAMPBELL The Associated Press

Blackhawks goalie Corey Crawford gets a pat on the helmet Wednesday from Brandon Bollig after the Minnesota Wild won, 3-2, after a shootout in St. Paul, Minn.

ST. PAUL, Minn. – Matt Cullen scored 90 seconds into the game and again in a shootout to lift the Minnesota Wild to a 3-2 victory over the Blackhawks on Wednesday, their first loss in seven games this

season. Cullen’s snap shot in the third round slipped between Corey Crawford’s legs, and Patrick Sharp then hit the crossbar for the Hawks. The Hawks and San Jose were the only teams to start 6-0 this year. The Wild improved to 4-1 at home. Goals by Andrew Shaw and Jonathan Toews early in the first period prompted the Wild to pull goalie Josh Harding for Niklas Backstrom. Cal Clutterbuck also scored

for the Wild, and Backstrom stopped all 28 shots he saw. Crawford, off to a sharp start in his third season as Chicago’s primary goalie, made 23 saves as the Hawks started a season-long six-game road trip. They’ve played five straight one-goal games. After putting 15 shots on net in the first period, the Wild had six over the remainder of regulation. They had one last prime opportunity when Sharp was penalized for hooking with

2:05 left, but the Blackhawks squelched the Minnesota power play for the fourth time – and headed for overtime after a scoreless third period. Just like three years ago when the Hawks won the Stanley Cup, star forwards Toews, Patrick Kane, Marian Hossa and Sharp have been in a groove since this shortened season began less than two weeks ago.

MIKE DRYSCH’S ‘EPIC WORLDWIDE ADVENTURE’

EXTENDED WEEKEND Half-court shot, viral video turn average Joe into star

Gators rally in 2nd half, top Warriors By MEGHAN MONTEMURRO mmontemurro@shawmedia.com

McHENRY – Something had to change as the Crystal Lake South girls basketball team walked into the locker room at halftime. The Gators’ first half effort against McHenry, which left them trailing by 12 to start the third quarter, lacked intensity as they struggled to find an offensive flow. And without its leading scorer, junior forward Sara Mickow, unable to play with her left foot in a walking boot, South needed someone to take charge. South was fueled by sophomore Online forward Carly Nolan and junior Watch highlights of guard Rachel RasWednesday’s Crystal Lake mussen in the third South vs. McHenry girls quarter. Together basketball game at they scored 11 of the Gators’ 19 third McHenryCounty quarter points as Sports. South erased a com. 16-point deficit to storm back for a 51-46 Fox Valley Conference Valley Division win. An 8-0 run during the final 1:27 of the third quarter, punctuated by Carina Madoni’s layup as time expired gave the Gators their first lead of the game, 39-37. South would not trail the rest of the game. Nolan came off the bench to score 11 of her game-high 15 points and didn’t let up in the fourth despite foul trouble. “Since Sara’s usually our big scorer, I felt like someone needed to step up so I tried my best,” Nolan said. “It’s a big change for us, but we’re trying to work through it.” Greta Taylor’s two free throws with 1:43 left until halftime put McHenry ahead 32-16 for its largest lead of the game. South managed to grab a little momentum before the quarter ended on baskets by Nolan and Rasmussen. From that point on, the Gators (19-6, 8-3 FVC Valley) outscored the Warriors 35-14 to erase the 16-point deficit.

By JEFF ARNOLD jarnold@shawmedia.com he first time Patrick Hodgdon saw Mike Drysch in the lobby of Miami Beach’s upscale Raleigh Hotel last week, he figured there was no way. The scouting report Hodgdon, a 27-year-old digital strategy manager for Minneapolisbased Bolin Marketing, had received from a Carmex public relations employee a week before he met Drysch was that Drysch’s chances of hitting the shot of a lifetime weren’t good. Hodgdon agreed, seeing the 50-year-old McHenry resident who lives in an upstairs apartment above a retired carpenter and his wife as someone who was extremely likable, humble and about to miss the $75,000 half-court shot during a Miami Heat contest promotion. Even Drysch, the man who had devoted a couple of hours each day for the past eight years to entering sweepstakes like the one that landed him in Miami last week, didn’t have high hopes. He left Chicago a week ago today, flying from Midway Airport with his possessions in a green gym bag. He had packed just enough for a couple of days – a few short-sleeve T-shirts (including a red one with the words Coney Island Hot Dog 5K), a pair of camouflage shorts and open-toed sandals. If nothing else, Drysch figured, he would hit the beach, stay at a nice hotel and see the Heat play. That plan certainly changed. In front of 20,000 fans in between the third and fourth quarters of Friday’s Miami HeatDetroit Pistons game, Drysch drained the halfcourt shot – with a clumsy-looking sky hook. The basket, which dropped clean through the net without the aid of the backboard or rim, sparked a spontaneous celebration that included a bear hug from LeBron James. Just like that, Drysch became the envy of every beer-swilling everyday Joe who had dreamed of living out such a moment. Hodgdon hadn’t planned to work beyond Friday night. Suddenly, he had a good problem, with the star of a video that went viral within moments. “We really didn’t have a full-blown P.R. plan because nobody expected it to go in,” Hodgdon said in a phone interview Wednesday. “Him hitting the shot was probably a 10-out-of-10, and it probably makes the Top 10 on “SportsCenter” and maybe it’s No. 8 or 9, but LeBron coming on and bear-hugging him to the ground just made it 100 out of 10.” Over the course of the next 95 hours, life – at least as Drysch and a party of two young professionals who came to be known as his BCE (Big Check Entourage) had come to know it – changed dramatically. There would be a trip to New York, early-morning appearances on Fox News, ABC and CNN, making three perfect strangers inseparable. Like Hodgdon, Michael Kraabel – a videographer who had been sent to Miami to document the halfcourt shot for Carmex – wasn’t expecting big things. Having a 9-to-5 office worker take an improbable shot at $75,000 didn’t provide much of a compelling storyline.

He was fouled on the play by Brandon Jennings, and converted the free throw. Robinson, who also had a breakaway dunk during

the run, shot 7 for 9 from the floor during the quarter to help the Bulls take a 55-37 lead at the half. The Bulls shot 51 percent from the field in the first half, while the Bucks made just 39 percent of their attempts. Jennings and Monta Ellis, the Bucks’ top scorers, combined for just 11 points in the half on 4-for-14 shooting. The Bucks stormed back in the third quarter, using a 25-14 run at the start of the period to pull within seven points. Jennings, who was ejected late in the game after being called for a technical foul keyed the comeback, scoring 11 points in the quarter.

McHenry man soaks in adulation Wild goalie Harding pulled early • DRYSCH Continued from page C1 But after the shot found its mark and James’ spontaneous response made it an “epic worldwide adventure,” Kraabel knew he was working with gold, promoting what became a whirlwind two-city media tour that made Drysch a household name. Between the time the half-court shot dropped and Drysch’s traveling party departed Miami on Saturday afternoon, the middle-aged man and his two public relations handlers operated on adrenaline. Everywhere they went, Drysch and his over-sized $75,000 check were recognized by South Beach admirers. “Hey – you’re THAT guy,” yelled fans, who ran across busy intersections to pose for photos with Drysch, who within hours of his half-court heroics had become one of Miami’s most recognizable faces. It wasn’t long before Hodgdon and Kraabel knew their job was not only promoting what was quickly becoming a national story while also protecting a man they knew wasn’t ready for the rush of attention that awaited him. “It was like we were triplets born at the same moment,” Kraabel said. “We were just bonded for life. This guy isn’t prepared for this, we’re not prepared for this – we just knew we had to stick together and help each other out and make sure we’re all covered.” South Beach was far from the life Drysch had become accustomed to. He moved to McHenry three years ago from Lake Forest, where the upscale life and a shortage of money had put Drysch down on his luck. He has worked for American Hotel Register for 15 years – first in information resources before being promoted to the role of computer technician. So after hitting the shot, all of the attention hit Drysch hard, casting him into a loud,

bright-lights environment he hadn’t been in before. “I’m getting up there in age, and I was just hoping I could hold on for it all,” Drysch said. Drysch soaked in the attention, loving every instant of his new-found fame. DJ Irie, in his 12th season working as the Heat’s arena emcee, had never encountered anyone quite like Drysch. And when Drysch was escorted to center court as the grand prize winner of the sweepstakes that would change his life, Irie saw what everyone else did. Never in his wildest dreams did he ever imagine the poster boy for the common man would gain instant notoriety. So before the shot, Irie patted Drysch on the shoulder, reminding him that if the shot happened to go in, everything would change. “He was just this jolly guy and you’ve got people who are unique and people who are in a class of their own,” Irie said Wednesday. “Michael is in a class of his own.” Irie, who was working at Mansion Nightclub in South Beach on Friday night, reached Heat media relations employees, telling them he wanted Drysch to be his guest. When Drysch and his party arrived, his celebrity grew in the red-velvet rope environment. He posed for more photos, instantly recognized after his image had been blitzed all over TV the past few hours. “He ran the club that night, man,” Irie said. Over a course of days, in Miami and then in New York, Hodgdon remained buried in his phone, setting up one media appearance after another. Between Saturday morning and Tuesday, Drysch appeared on seven nationally syndicated programs while also doing his share of radio and Skype interviews. In between, he took in a Knicks game at Madison Square Garden and saw New York from the top floor of the Empire State building. He sat in the audience of “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon”, continu-

ing to revel in his new-found identity. Kraabel saw a different side of Drysch come to life. I think it may have given him a boost of confidence – and it may just help him say, ‘You know what – you may have been a normal guy before, but you accomplished something no one else will ever accomplish.” Tuesday night, Drysch touched down in Chicago and took a cab back to McHenry. For the first time since he left, he got a full night’s sleep before returning to his Vernon Hills office Wednesday morning. Like everywhere else over the previous 95 hours, he found himself the center of attention in an environment where people were still buzzing about his memorable shot. Drysch said future appearances on “The Jimmy Kimmel Show” and “Ellen” are still possible. But for the time being, Drysch will settle back into his everyday life. After taxes, Drysch will likely end up with just more than $50,000 – only a small amount of which will be left once he catches up on some bills and travels to Utah to visit his mother. He will continue to devote a couple of hours a night to entering sweepstakes, anxiously awaiting his next adventure. Of all the things he says he has won in the past – trips to Las Vegas and London, a new pickup truck and other prizes – the trip to Miami and his encounter with James remain at the top of the list. Whether his latest win qualifies as life-changing remains to be seen. “You get used to your lifestyle – going to work, sitting in a cubicle – and if it changes, I won’t mind,” Drysch said. “It’s a 9-to-5 monotonous routine, dead-end (job) and hopefully this turns into something that I can get away from this lifestyle. “But until then, I’ll go to work and that’s just the way it is.”

• HAWKS Continued from page C1 Just 91 seconds after Shaw sent a wrist shot past Harding, Toews appeared on a rush up the left wing and zinged a badangle snapper from the middle of the circle that slid straight though Harding’s bent legs. That was enough for coach Mike Yeo, who made the bold move of pulling Harding a mere 6 minutes, 45 seconds into the game. He faced only

four shots. Harding, who was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis during the lockout, had a 24save shutout of Dallas on Jan. 20 but gave up five goals at Detroit last Friday. The Wild haven’t had much production from their second and third units, with the first line of Zach Parise, Dany Heatley and Mikko Koivu combining for 10 of their first 13 goals through the weekend. But Pierre-Marc Bouchard had

the go-ahead score late in the third period the night before, and Cullen notched his first goal of the season 90 seconds into this one on a rebound after struggling rookie Mikael Granlund’s slap shot bounced off Crawford’s chest. Then Clutterbuck, with his back turned to the goal, tied it at 2 only 59 seconds into the second period with a deft tip of Tom Gilbert’s shot from the point that slipped through a Hawks defender’s legs.

PREPS & COLLEGE FOOTBALL

Weather, whiteout wreak havoc on games

Tuesday turned out to be anything but your average night for local basketball games. One game was stopped and another was moved to a different gym because the unusually warm January weather caused condensation problems. Another game had to delay its start because of an exuberant crowd and the pregame whiteout ritual with talcum powder. Basically, there was no harm, no foul, but it made for a slightly strange night. McHenry defeated Marian Central, 52-45, in girls basketball in a game played in two gyms. The first half was played in Marian’s main gym, but condensation from a box

near the ceiling caused water to drip in two spots on the floor. At halftime, administrators decided to move the game to Marian’s old gym next door. “We had to keep wiping it up, so we just moved it at halftime,” Hurricanes athletic director Mike McGovern said. “You have to be flexible. I’m trying to get some outdoor courts.” McGovern said the maintenance staff was investigating what caused the dripping, although the 60-degree temperatures had something to do with it, which is something they may not face again this winter. Faith Lutheran’s boys basketball team lost to Westminster Christian, 35-18, in a game that was called

PREP ZONE Joe Stevenson at halftime. The Saints play their home games at Immanuel Lutheran Elementary School and condensation was building up on the floor. “We think it had a lot to do with the humidity,” Faith AD Drew Potthoff said. “The floor’s on a concrete slab and water started beading up. It’s not our building, so we couldn’t adjust anything.” In the Crystal Lake Central at Woodstock boys basketball game, the start was delayed when the whiteout before the game left the

floor of James M. Shipley Memorial Gymnasium with too much residue from the talcum powder. For about 5 minutes, the floor was wiped up so it was safe for the players and officials. “Crystal Lake Central and us are great friends,” Woodstock AD Glen Wilson said. “We wanted to ensure the safest environment for both teams. We will not embark on that again.” This is not meant to pick on Blue Streaks’ fans, who have been excellent supporting a team having its best season since 2001. Woodstock’s cheering section at Central earlier this month was huge and loud, and the Streaks knocked off Central, 54-53. They also have adopted a nice

postgame tradition of lining up on the court and having the players walk by and shake hands. Whiteouts are the latest rage at sporting events, so the Streaks’ fans were not really acting out against anyone. Both sides handled the situation well, and the tipoff was just a few minutes late. The first three quarters provided great drama and a tied score, but Central took over in the fourth and exacted its revenge, 54-38. •฀Joe Stevenson is a senior sports writer for the Northwest Herald.

ALI ANDREWS Huntley, fr. Andrews certainly hasn’t been playing like a freshman. The 6-foot-2 freshman averaged 20 points a game in the Red Raiders’ three wins the past week.

Andrews is averaging 16.4 points a game this season, second most in McHenry County.

McGraw says LB didn’t create hoax By TOM COYNE The Associated Press

Noteworthy

Mickow sidelined: Crystal Lake South will need to get used to playing without its top scorer. Junior forward Sara Mickow, who is averaging 13.2 points a game, was not in uniform for South’s 51-46 win Wednesday at McHenry. She wore a walking boot on her left foot after suffering an injury in the fourth quarter Saturday against Prairie Ridge. Mickow appeared to sprain her left ankle and had to be helped off the court. Gators coach Kyle McCaughn described Mickow’s status as “up in the air” and declined to specify the extent or exact nature of her injury. At this point, it’s unknown when Mickow will return to the basketball court. South has two regular Fox Valley Conference Valley Division games remaining – Saturday at Dundee-Crown and Tuesday at home against Jacobs – with the playoffs scheduled to begin Feb. 13. “We honestly don’t know when her return is,” McCaughn said. “We just don’t know.” Leak forces change: During his 20-plus seasons coaching, McHenry coach Scott Morris never experience what he had Tuesday at Marian Central. Halfway through the Warriors’ 52-45 win against Marian Central, the game was stopped because of a leak from the ceiling. It was first noticed during pre-game introductions, and throughout the first half, the husband of Hurricanes’ coach Jackie Budmayr kept wiping the floor whenever the ball went to the other end. But right before halftime, a few players slipped on the slick court and the decision was made to play the rest of the game on Marian’s older court next door. “It was a little bit different,” Morris said. “We only had a two-minute halftime because they had 10 minutes in between to set it up. It seemed to help both teams. I think playing in the old gym was kind of fun.”

Rasmussen scores 14 for CL South in win • GATORS Continued from page C1 “We knew we had to come out stronger,” Nolan said. “In the locker room we talked about our intensity, our energy and we had to pick it up, our defense especially.” The combination of Ras-

mussen’s outside shooting – she hit three 3-pointers and finished with 14 points – and senior forward Lauren Del Vecchio’s ability to sink jumpers at the top of the key complemented Nolan’s effort in the paint, which kept McHenry’s defense off balance. “Carly has a knack for finding that open spot on the floor,”

Gators coach Kyle McCaughn said. “Credit to our girls, a couple of times they found her wide open. They dribble attacked; they got doubled and they found her because she was in the right place at the right time to finish.” McCaughn credited McHenry for its great start, capitalizing on South’s slug-

gish play in the first half. But South’s intensity to start the third quarter caused the Warriors to wilt under increased defensive pressure. McHenry (13-15, 4-7) committed more turnovers in the third (seven) than during the entire first half (six). Five Warriors scored at least seven points led by Sawyer Law’s nine.

PREP FOOTBALL

Jacobs’ Conzelman happily heads to Valpo By JOE STEVENSON joestevenson@shawmedia.com Connor Conzelman heard the sales pitch during his sophomore year at Jacobs. Golden Eagles football coach Bill Mitz would see Conzelman, whose athletic reputation preceded him, and urge him to come out for football. Conzelman already had varsity letters in basketball and baseball, and had played football through eighth grade with the Crystal Lake Raiders, then the Algonquin Falcons (now the Junior Eagles). Since Conzelman had numerous friends on the team, he picked football over basketball for his junior year. And it is football he will continue to play in college. Conzelman (6-foot-1, 220 pounds) committed to Valparaiso, a Football Championship Subdivision team that

plays in the Pioneer Football League. “I realized I wouldn’t go as far in basketball as I could in football, so I spent last winter lifting and working out,” said Conzelman, who was a Northwest Herald All-Area honorable mention selection at linebacker. The Crusaders are looking at him as a linebacker, but also may play him as lead fullback in a blocking Connor role, something he did at Conzelman Jacobs. Conzelman was an AllFox Valley Conference Valley Division selection, was named to the Illinois High School Football Coaches Association Class 7A All-State Academic team and was chosen as Jacobs’ Defensive Player of the Year. The PFL is a conference of NCAA

Division I schools that does not award athletic scholarships. Conzelman, who scored 29 on the ACT and has a 3.85 GPA, will receive substantial academic scholarship money. He considered D-III Hamilton (N.Y.) College and D-III Rose-Hulman in Terre Haute, Ind. Conzelman plans on majoring in engineering at Valpo. “When I went [to Valpo] it just felt like college,” Conzelman said. “I liked Hamilton, but it was 15 hours away and it’s just too far. There are former Jacobs players, Dale Cook and Sean Cook, at Valpo, so I knew a lot about it.” Conzelman will finish his high school career with seven varsity letters: two in football, two in basketball and three in baseball. “There were some schools talking to me about baseball,” Conzelman said. “Valpo was the best fit for me, they have a good engineering program.”

SOUTH BEND, Ind. – Dr. Phil McGraw, TV’s Dr. Phil, said Ronaiah Tuiasosopo, who masterminded the dead girlfriend hoax involving Manti Te’o, told him the Notre Dame linebacker was not involved in the scheme and that he ended up falling “deeply, romantically” in love with the football player. McGraw spoke on the “Today” show Wednesday, previewing an interview he did with Tuiasos- Phil McGraw opo, a 22-yearold California man who created the fictional woman Te’o knew as Lennay Kekua. Tuiasosopo’s interview with McGraw will air in two parts on the “Dr. Phil Show” starting today. Since the hoax was revealed earlier this month, Te’o has said the relationship with Kekua started online and eventually became serious, even though the two only talked on the phone and exchanged electronic messages, never meeting in person. Te’o said he was told of Kekua’s “death” from leukemia just hours after his grandmother died in September. McGraw said Tuiasosopo told him the voice of Kekua was his. Tuiasosopo and Te’o have each said that while the Kekua relationship went on for several years, there were times when they weren’t in contact. “There were many times where Manti and Lennay had broken up. But something would bring them back together whether it was something going on in his life, or in Lennay’s life, in this case in my life,” Tuiasosopo said. Tuiasosopo said he wanted to end the relationship between Kekua and Te’o before he had to fake Kekua’s death. “I wanted to end it because everything I had gone through, I finally realized that I just had to move on with my life and I had to get me, Ronaiah, I had to start just living and let this go,” Tuiasosopo said. Te’o’s publicist, Matthew Hiltzik, declined comment on behalf of Te’o and his family. McGraw said “absolutely, unequivocally” Te’o had no role in creating the hoax. McGraw said he spent hours with Tuiasosopo and his parents, saying he had a number of life experiences that “damaged this young man in some very serious ways.” McGraw said Tuiasosopo had feelings for Te’o. “Here we have a young man that fell deeply, romantically in love,” McGraw said. McGraw said he asked Tuiasosopo if he is gay. “He said, ‘Well, when you put it that way, yes.’ Then he caught himself and said, ‘I am confused,’ ” McGraw said. Te’o also was asked in an interview with Katie Couric if he is gay. Te’o said “no” with a laugh. “Far from it. Faaaar from that,” he said.

SUPER BOWL NOTES

NEW YORK YANKEES

Culliver apologizes for anti-gay comments

Latest A-Rod troubles leave team frustrated

By JANIE McCAULEY The Associated Press

NEW ORLEANS – San Francisco 49ers cornerback Chris Culliver apologized Wednesday night for anti-gay remarks he made during a Super Bowl media day interview a day earlier. “The derogatory comments I made yesterday were a reflection of thoughts in my head, but they are not how I feel,” he said in a statement released by the team. “It has taken me seeing them in print to realize that they are hurtful and ugly. Those Chris Culliver d i s c r i m i n a t ing feelings are truly not in my heart. Further, I apologize to those who I have hurt and offended, and I pledge to learn and grow from this experience.” The 49ers said earlier Wednesday they had addressed the comments, but didn’t elaborate on whether the second-year player would face disciplinary action or a fine. During an interview Tuesday at the Superdome, Culliver responded to questions from comedian Artie Lange by saying he wouldn’t welcome a gay player in the locker room. He also said the 49ers didn’t have any homosexual players and, if they did, those players should leave. “The San Francisco 49ers reject the comments that were made yesterday, and have addressed the matter with Chris,” the team said. Culliver planned to formally address his remarks during a news conference today, according to his personal public relations representative, Theodore Palmer. The interview Tuesday began with Lange asking Culliver about his sexual plans with women during Super Bowl week. Lange followed up with a question about whether Culliver would consider pursuing a gay man. “I don’t do the gay guys, man. I don’t do that,” Culliver said during the 1-minute taped interview. “Ain’t got no gay people on the team. They gotta get up outta here if they do. Can’t be with that sweet stuff.” Lange asked Culliver to reiterate his thoughts, to which the player said, “It’s true.” He added he wouldn’t welcome a gay teammate – no matter how talented.

Williams questions lack of sanctions: Kyle Williams can’t believe the New York Giants weren’t punished by the NFL for targeting him in last year’s NFC Championship game. The punt returner whose mistakes cost the 49ers a chance to make the last Super Bowl, and who will miss Sunday’s game against Baltimore with an injured left knee, said Wednesday he is “shocked” that the Giants escaped discipline. “The only thing crazy to me was that nothing came of it after they came down so much on the Saints,” Williams said. “The league announced the bounties and that (former Saints defensive coordinator) Gregg Williams said the same things the Giants were saying. They took it to the highest level they could with the Saints. But it seemed like the league decided it was no big deal what the Giants said.” What Giants special teamers Jacquian Williams and Devin Thomas said after New York’s 20-17 overtime victory sounded similar to what the Saints were sanctioned for. “The thing is, we knew he had four concussions, so that was our biggest thing was to take him out of the game,” said Jacquian Williams.

Yankees hope to free selves of Rodriguez’s big contract By RONALD BLUM The Associated Press AP photo

Baltimore Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis speaks Wednesday during a news conference in New Orleans. Lewis denied a report linking him to a company that purports to make performance-enhancers.

LB Lewis has become master of obfuscation NEW ORLEANS – A lot of this Super Bowl was going to be about Ray Lewis anyway, even before strange tales of deer-antler spray and magic hologram chips came to light. He made sure of it by starting his retirement tour early, and bringing along the dances and inspirational speeches that TV cameras eat up. If his oratorical skills are great, so, too, is the player. His teammates love him as much for what he does in the locker room as on the field, and fans in Baltimore may one day even erect a statue to his greatness. Seventeen years fronting one of the most dominating defenses in the NFL should be enough to get him in the Hall of Fame. A Super Bowl win Sunday would give him a second ring to cherish the rest of his life. Like the player, though, the act has grown old. When Lewis talks – and he talks incessantly – it’s hard to take anything he says seriously. That was the case Wednesday when he had the stage to himself and everyone in a packed interview room wanted to know: Just what is deer-antler spray and why would you want to take it? Turns out he wouldn’t. And, says Lewis, anyone who suggests otherwise must be doing so with evil intent. “That’s the trick of the devil,” he said. “The trick of the devil is to kill, steal and destroy. That’s what he comes to do. He comes to distract you from everything you’re trying to do.” Enough. Please. The real trick for Ray Lewis is obfuscation, and if he does it well, it’s because he’s had plenty of practice. The day before, a reporter had the temerity to ask him about a night 13 years ago in Atlanta that left two men dead after a Super Bowl party and put Lewis in jail on charges of double murder. Old news, maybe, but the circumstances surrounding the deaths have never been fully explained, especially by Lewis. Instead of invoking the devil, Lewis went the other way. “Nobody here is really qualified to ask those questions,” he said. “I just truly feel that this is God’s time, and whatever his time is, let it be his will. Don’t try to please everybody with your words, try to make everybody’s story sound right.” What? Lewis pleaded guilty to obstruction of justice and got probation, along with a $250,000 fine from the NFL for violating its conduct policy. The murders remain unsolved after the case against his co-defendants fell apart. He’s been nothing but a model citizen since and as the years go by and memories fade he’s become in inspirational figure to those who enjoy his proselytizing and his play on the football field. His teammates respect him as their leader, and his coach seems to regard him as larger than life. “We have already used him as our team chaplain, so Ray could double up anytime he

VIEWS Tim Dahlberg wants,” Ravens coach John Harbaugh said. “He can coach. He can do whatever he wants. I think Ray’s got big plans. Ray’s that kind of guy and when he’s done playing he’s always a guy trying to affect people and change the way that people think and make an impact on the world.” He’s certainly making an impact on this Super Bowl, though his last ride has turned out to be bumpier than he might have imagined. Lewis surely understood the murders would be mentioned, but after years of deflecting questions about his connection to them, he was probably also sure it would be no more than a minor annoyance. It’s not so easy with deer-antler spray and pills. Sports Illustrated said Lewis hoped to repair a torn right triceps by seeking help from an Alabama company that says its products contain a banned substance connected to human growth hormone. Lewis denied taking anything illegal, but danced around any connection to the company that also sold its product to golfer Vijay Singh and others. “To entertain foolishness like that from cowards who come from the outside and try to destroy what we’ve built, like I just said, it’s sad to even entertain it on this type of stage, because this type of stage is what dreams are made of,” Lewis said. “This is what kids dream their whole lives, to be up here on these days, stepping in the NFL and saying that I am on the biggest stage ever.” If it all sounds a bit wacky, it’s because it is. What, after all, could be goofier than deerantler spray and magic chips except maybe the men who believe in them? But after the Lance Armstrong confession, it’s hard to believe anything athletes say anymore, or that the NFL is somehow free of PEDs simply because there hasn’t been a big scandal in recent years. We don’t know what anyone takes, how many tests they’ve passed or failed, or what they do behind closed doors to build the kind of muscles you need to play in the NFL. Life as a football player will end for Lewis on Sunday in the Super Bowl, and if he has mixed emotions about it, so must we. It’s hard to root against one of the greatest linebackers ever, a man who has played with the intensity of 10 men for 17 years now, and a man who is a towering figure in the locker room, After Wednesday, it’s even harder to root for him. •฀Tim Dahlberg is a national sports columnist for The Associated Press.

NEW YORK – Alex Rodriguez was speaking on a conference call. “A huge debacle,” he said. “Distasteful.” That was Dec. 13, 2007, when he re-signed with the New York Yankees and was discussing his decision 1½ months earlier to become a free agent. Now those words describe Alex how some in Rodriguez the team’s front office feel about A-Rod’s $275 million, 10-year contract. Once considered a player who could shatter the career home run record, Rodriguez has transformed from AllStar to annoyance for some in the Yankees organization. He hasn’t played a full season since he was voted his third AL MVP award in 2007, he’s out for at least the first half of this year after hip surgery Jan. 16 and now he’s been accused of again receiving performance-enhancing drugs – an allegation he denies. Even before the charges were published Tuesday by the alternative weekly Miami New Times along with accusations against Melky Cabrera, Nelson Cruz, Gio Gonzalez, Bartolo Colon and Yasmani Grandal, some Yankees executives were wishing Rodriguez would just go away. Speaking on the condition of anonymity because the team isn’t publicly commenting on A-Rod’s latest troubles, they revealed their frustration with the slugger. And they have a big incentive for A-Rod to disappear. If he doesn’t play again be-

cause of a career-ending injury, about 85 percent of the $114 million he’s owed by the team would be covered by insurance, according to one of the executives who spoke on the condition of anonymity. New York also might be able to free itself from having the $27.5 million average annual value of Rodriguez’s contract count in its luxury tax payroll in each of the next five seasons, a key factor as the Yankees try to get under the $189 million threshold in 2014. If Rodriguez is on the disabled list, his contract is included. But if he’s on the voluntary retired list, it would not be part of the total. And if the Yankees fall under that $189 million benchmark, their luxury tax rate would drop from its current 50 percent to 17.5 percent for 2015. That would give them far more flexibility to pursue pitchers Clayton Kershaw, Felix Hernandez and Justin Verlander if they become free agents following the 2014 season. New York is not likely to be able to void A-Rod’s deal. Baseball’s drug agreement between management and the players’ association specifies the commissioner’s office has all disciplinary authority for violations. A-Rod’s poor health, however, may provide the path to savings for the team. While Rodriguez rebounded from right hip surgery in March 2009 to help the Yankees to their first World Series title since 2000, Dr. Bryan Kelly said recovery from his operation on A-Rod’s left hip this month will be more complex if for no other reason than it receives more stress because Rodriguez is a right-handed hitter.

8SPORTS SHORTS Gay heads to Toronto in Grizzlies’ makeover Rudy Gay is on his way to Toronto in the latest and most dramatic move in the Memphis Grizzlies’ money-motivated makeover. The Grizzlies agreed to trade their star swingman to the Raptors on Wednesday, parting with the leading scorer on a team that has aspirations of making a run in the powerful Western Conference. The Raptors gave up point guard Jose Calderon and forward Ed Davis in the deal that also included Grizzlies backup

center Hamed Haddadi, and Memphis then shipped Calderon to Detroit for Austin Daye and Tayshaun Prince. “Players like this don’t come along that often in terms of their availability,” Raptors GM Bryan Colangelo said of Gay. “This was a very unique circumstance. We feel like we took advantage of it.” Memphis general manager Chris Wallace didn’t mention finances in a statement issued Wednesday night, but there is no doubt they played a big role in the decision. – Wire report

ANN ARBOR, Mich. – Trey Burke had 18 points and eight assists, and No. 1 Michigan was nearly flawless at the start Wednesday night en route to a 68-46 victory over Northwestern. The Wolverines made 10 of their first 11 shots and went the entire first half without a turnover. They didn’t commit a foul, either, until the final minute of the half. Michigan (20-1 overall, 7-1 Big Ten) took over the top spot in the AP poll this week for the first time since the 1992-93 season. The Wolverines can now prepare for Saturday night’s showdown at No. 3 Indiana, with whom they share the Big Ten lead. Michigan played without forward Jordan Morgan, who sprained his right ankle last weekend. Alex Olah scored 10 points for Northwestern (12-10, 3-6). The Wolverines finished with only two turnovers. They didn’t have any until 6-foot-10 freshman Mitch McGary tried to start a fast break himself by dribbling up the court and lost the ball with less than 12 minutes left. The two turnovers in a game equaled a national low for any team this season, according to STATS LLC. It was 36-21 at halftime. Northwestern looked ready to make a game of it when Dave Sobolewski was fouled shooting a 3-pointer with 15:37 to play and

ADVICE

Teacher is shocked to learn about student’s new career

Dear Abby: I am an adjunct teacher in a small college in the Midwest. For the most part, my students are great, but one breaks my heart. I admire him because he has overcome some incredible obstacles. Last year, he lost a good job and had to drop out for a time. He’s back now, and when I asked about his new job, he said he runs a strip club. At first, I thought he was kidding, but he assured me he manages more than 50 ladies who, at the end of their shift, leave with their lives and their dignity. He doesn’t strike me as a common street pimp, and I realize he took this job to survive. I’d like to approach him outside the classroom and offer to help not just him, but his employees. I don’t want to come across as a do-gooder, but I don’t think this is a great career. I know this letter may make for some funny water cooler conversations, but the truth is people who get sucked into the vice trade have a hard time getting out and often come to a bad end. Do I care about my students too much, or am I being judgmental? – Wants to help in Illinois Dear Wants: I think it’s a

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips little of both. You are wellmeaning, but may have jumped to some incorrect conclusions. Managers of adult entertainment clubs are not “pimps”; they are club managers. Further, just as not all prostitutes are exotic dancers, not all exotic dancers are prostitutes. Many are single women working to support themselves and their children; others may be students trying to pay for their educations. Before trying to “rescue” any of them, visit the club and see firsthand what is – and is NOT – going on there. If there are underage girls being forced to work there, report it to the police. If not, recognize they are adults and able to make their own career choices. While I admire your good heart, the individuals you’re worried about may not need your assistance. Dear Abby: I want to ask your opinion about something. I work at a donut shop inside a college campus. I have a tip jar, and many customers are generous and

share their change with me. My problem is other people who feel entitled to the money in my tip jar. There have been instances when some of them realized they were a few cents short, so they stuck their hands in my tip jar and fished out the coins they wanted. It is not out of ignorance. The jar is clearly labeled “Tips – Thank you.” If I tell them they can’t take the money, they get angry. One lady screamed at me, saying I was “selfish,” and the money in the jar shouldn’t be just for me. What do you think, Abby? Am I too upset over a few cents? Or am I right to feel robbed and stand up for myself when people do this? –

Doing My Job On Campus Dear Doing My Job: I don’t blame you for feeling robbed. Your tips ARE meant just for you, and you have earned every penny your customers left in recognition of your good service. What these people are doing is petty theft. Some establishments avoid this problem by leaving a small container of pennies on the counter. Please suggest it to your boss.

Surgeons need physical, mental skills Dear Dr. K: You often mention your colleagues at Harvard Medical School. I’m curious, what does it take to become a doctor at Harvard? Dear Reader: Believe it or not, this is the first time I’ve been asked that question. Here’s how things are organized. We have several hundred medical students. They spend four to five years learning to become doctors. Then they get an M.D. after their names. The next step is residency and fellowship. This is a multiyear process when a newly minted M.D. gets additional training and certification in one of the medical specialties, such as internal medicine or surgery. Then, for many, comes further training in narrower subspecialties within each specialty. For example, internal medicine is divided into subspecialties such as cardiology, endocrinology or general internal medicine (primary care). The process of going through residency and fellowship can take three to eight years. In this brief column, I can give you only a taste of the process. For a comprehensive look, I recommend a short and inexpensive new e-book called “The Making of a Surgeon,” written by

ASK DR. K Dr. Anthony Komaroff my Harvard Medical School colleague Dr. Stan Ashley, with John Hanc. You can learn more about this book at my website. The book describes the intense and grueling pace for both the trainees and their teachers. The workday begins between 5 a.m. and 6 a.m. But while there is an organized work schedule for every day, surgical emergencies can pull the surgical teams from the hospital floors to the operating rooms at any time, 24/7. For a surgical trainee, the process of becoming an independent surgeon is a gradual one. At first, the trainee is just watching and learning. There’s always lots of book learning – textbooks and surgical research journals. And there are even computerized simulations to help learn manual skills. When the teachers are confident the trainees have the necessary knowledge and skill, they begin to do some parts of the surgery under the watchful eye of the teacher. By the time they have reached the end of

their training, the trainees are quite independent. At Harvard, surgical residents must learn 139 essential surgical procedures by the time they’ve completed their training. They start by learning the basics: tying knots, suturing, general operating room procedure. As soon as they’re ready, the residents enter the operating room. There, they work next to attending surgeons on appropriate cases for every level of their training. And they begin the long process of working their way through those 139 essential surgeries. There are lots of skills taught during medical school and residency. For surgeons, the manual procedures of doing surgery obviously must be mastered. But that’s not enough: The trainees need to learn coolness under fire and how to think clearly when things are not going “by the book.” Above all, they need to learn how to be members of a team – because surgery requires a team – and how to listen to, comfort and explain things to patients.

Lohan car crash trial delayed Lindsay Lohan briefly appeared in court Wednesday for the first time in nearly a year and left with a new attorney, new trial date and new judge. Superior Court Judge Stephanie Sautner shook her head when she saw Lohan seated with her attorney, just months after the judge had warned the “Liz and Dick” star to grow up and stay out of trouble. The actress was required to attend the pretrial hearing involving three misdemeanor counts filed after a car crash last summer. Lohan has pleaded not guilty to lying to police, reckless driving and obstructing officers from performing their duties. Sautner previously sent her to jail, placed her under house arrest and forced her to perform morgue cleanup duty in another case. Sautner warned Lohan on Wednesday she could face jail time for a possible probation violation, even if she is acquitted of the counts filed after her sports car crashed into a dump truck. Lohan was on probation at the time of the wreck and could be sentenced to 245 days in jail if a judge determines her actions in the crash were a violation of her sentence in a theft case. Sautner, however, won’t be handling Lohan’s upcoming case. The judge said she is retiring before the next court hearing on March 1. Lohan will not be required to attend that hearing. Lohan’s new trial date is March 18.

‘Entourage’ movie a go

‘Top Hooker’ heads to TV

Rihanna: Brown my choice

Vincent Chase and his entourage are jumping from the small screen to the big-screen. Warner Bros. confirmed Wednesday a film version of the HBO hit series “Entourage” is in the works. Series creator Doug Ellin is writing and directing the film, which does not yet have a production start date or release date. The studio also has not finalized the cast.

How far can reality television go? A new competition series will debut this summer called “Top Hooker.” Get your mind out of the gutter. It’s on Animal Planet, and it’s about fishing. The network says the show will pit teams of expert fishers competing in odd challenges, like fishing with outlandish tools, catching fish blindfolded and netting fish with their mouth. It’s all catch-and-release.

Rihanna says if dating Chris Brown is a mistake, she’s OK with that. The singer tells Rolling Stone in an interview that dating Brown makes her happy and “if it’s a mistake, it’s my mistake.” She adds that she’s ready to go public with her singer-boyfriend.

Nabors marries partner

‘HIMYM’ to name mother

Actor Jim Nabors says marrying his longtime male partner doesn’t change anything about their relationship – he just wanted it to be formally acknowledged. The 82-year-old actor best known as Gomer Pyle in “The Andy Griffith Show” said Wednesday he just wanted the marriage to be legal. Nabors married 64-year-old Stan Cadwallader in Seattle on Jan. 15. Nabors says they have been partners for 38 years. Nabors said he’s not an activist but feels strongly everyone should be able to choose who they spend their life with.

CBS says the big reveal is coming for “How I Met Your Mother.” The network said Wednesday the sitcom will air its ninth and final season next fall. And CBS Entertainment President Nina Tassler promised TV’s “most mysterious mother” will be unveiled as the show wraps up. That would be the mystery woman with whom Ted, played by Josh Radnor, ultimately has a family.

The 32-year-old pop star returned to music earlier this month when he released the single, “Suit & Tie,” which features Jay-Z. The song is a Top 5 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 charts. His performance at the Grammys will be Timberlake’s first musical appearance on television in years.

U.S. investigators ask Boeing for battery history

NORTHWEST HERALD CRYSTAL LAKE – Lulu’s Wiggin Out has expanded its selection of women’s fashion, accessories and wigs at its downtown Crystal Lake boutique, 63 N. Williams St. In addition to designer clothing and accessories, the store is now one of the premier Chicago area locations for wigs. Lulu’s closed its Algonquin store after eight years to consolidate its operations under one roof. “We have brought all of our services to a single location to better serve our customers,” said owner Luann Bauer. “Our downtown Crystal Lake store is a popular location, easily accessible, and offers the room to expand our collection of women’s accessories.” A breast cancer survivor, Bauer opened her first Lulu’s Wiggin Out in 2005 in Algonquin. She later added a collection of women’s clothing and accessories, and now carries many sought-after designers. “I was committed to helping women feel beautiful while undergoing the difficulties of cancer,” Bauer said. The back of the Crystal Lake store is dedicated to

Since merging with the Algonquin location, the Crystal Lake store will now carry all merchandise. A ribbon cutting will be held on Thursday, Feb. 7 for the remodel of the back of the store.

Lulu’s Wiggin Out What: A boutique featuring designer clothing, accessories and wigs Where: 63 N. Williams St., Crystal Lake Information: 815-356-9900 or luluswigginout.com wigs, and includes a privacy area for fittings. The shop offers a wide selection of synthetic and natural hair wigs with the option to custom order. A licensed cosmetologist is

on site to help customers with their wig selection. The store also sells hats, scarves, turbans and other items to help cope with hair loss. Store manager Ashly Bauer, Luann’s daughterin-law, said wigs are priced $130 to $400 for synthetic hair, and $500 to $2,000 for human hair. She said the store deals mainly with synthetics, but also provides human hair wigs for customers. “Synthetic is much easier to maintain,” Ashly Bauer said.

“It keeps its shape and look. Curls stay no matter what the weather is like outside. Real hair you have to blow dry and style every day.” In addition to Wigs, Lulu’s Wiggin Out offers a twist on classic feminine apparel. The boutique features clothing, hats, jewelry, handbags, gifts, home décor and more. “We pride ourselves on the personal service we offer to help our customers find the perfect wig, accessory or gift,” Luann Bauer said.

TOKYO – U.S. investigators said Wednesday they asked Boeing Co. to provide a full operating history of lithium-ion batteries used in its grounded 787 Dreamliners as Japan’s All Nippon Airways revealed it had repeatedly replaced the batteries even before overheating problems surfaced. National Transportation Safety Board spokesman Peter Knudson said the agency made the request after becoming aware of battery problems at ANA that occurred before two recent incidents involving the planes batteries. Boeing has already collected some of the information, he said. All 50 of the Boeing 787s in use around the world remain grounded after an ANA flight on Jan. 16 made an emergency landing in Japan when its main battery overheated. About a week before that, a battery caught fire in a 787 parked at Boston’s Logan International Airport. ANA said it had replaced batteries on its 787 aircraft 10 times because they didn’t charge properly or connections with electrical systems failed, and informed Boeing about the swaps.

RIM unveils new BlackBerrys

Charter schools now big business By ELEANOR CHUTE

The Associated Press

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

NEW YORK – A new generation of more versatile BlackBerry smartphones is finally about to hit the market after excruciating delays allowed mobile devices made by Apple, Samsung and others to build commanding leads in a market that is redefining society. BlackBerry maker Research in Motion Ltd. formally unveiled its long-awaited line-up of revamped smartphones and software Wednesday at simultaneous events held in New York, Toronto, London, Paris, Dubai, Johannesburg, Jakarta and Delhi. In a move underscoring the stakes riding on its make-or-break product line-up, the Canadian company used the occasion to announce it is changing

PITTSBURGH – The early charter schools in Pennsylvania were largely the product of passionate parents or community groups, who sometimes planned their dream schools around the kitchen table. But the picture has changed dramatically since the charter school law was passed in Pennsylvania in 1997, with an expansion of education management organizations that bring big money and clout into the picture. While some of the early charter planners succeeded -- such as the Manchester Youth Development Center on the North Side, which then offered an after-school tutoring program and started the Manchester Academic Charter School – many schools never materialized, with some planners saying it was harder than expected to come up with the necessary capital

A woman uses a new BlackBerry Z10 smartphone. its name to BlackBerry – a pioneering brand that has lost its cachet since Apple’s 2007 release of the iPhone reset expectations for what a smartphone should do. The first devices in the new crop of BlackBerrys will be called the Q10, which will feature a physical keyboard like previous versions of the phone, and the Z10 will have only

a touch-screen keyboard, like Apple’s trend-setting iPhone and other handsets running on Google’s Android software, including Samsung’s popular Galaxy. They will run on a redesigned operating system called BlackBerry 10, which the company began working on after buying QNX Software Systems.

and expertise. That was before so many businesses aimed at providing curriculum, management and facilities entered the scene, including organizations that don’t just assist but help initiate support for a charter school. Charter schools are public schools that have their own boards and are chartered by a local school district in the case of a bricks-and-mortar charter or by the state for a cyber charter. School districts pay a fee set by the state for their residents to attend. Increasingly, locally elected school officials are finding their districts competing against charter schools allied with big organizations with big money and their own ideas. “It’s had a large impact on the growth of charter school reform,” said Gary Miron, an education professor at Western Michigan University.

The new software and BlackBerrys were supposed to be released a year ago, only to be delayed while Apple and Android device makers won more zealous converts to their products. In the meantime, Microsoft Corp. also rolled out a new Windows operating system for smartphones giving RIM another technology powerhouse to battle. The delays helped wipe out $70 billion in shareholder wealth and 5,000 jobs. “It is the most challenging year of my career,” said RIM CEO฀ Thorsten฀ Heins,฀ whose฀ anniversary leading the company occurred last week. “It is also the most exhilarating and exciting one.” The wait for U.S. smartphone users interested in buying the new BlackBerry line isn’t over. The Z10 won’t be released in the U.S. until March and the Q10 might not arrive in the country until April, Heins said, to give wireless carriers more time to test the product. The estimated U.S. prices for the phones weren’t announced either. The Z10, which BlackBerry will call the “Zed-10” outside the U.S., will go on sale Thursday in United Kingdom Thursday. The same model will be released in Canada on Feb. 5 and will cost about $150 there with a three-year contract. BGC฀Financial฀analyst฀Colin฀Gills฀said฀the฀new฀phones’฀ tardy arrival to the U.S. threatens to cause even more BlackBerry users to defect to the iPhone or an Android device. Wednesday’s event didn’t go over well on Wall Street. RIM’s stock fell $1.18, or 7.5 percent, to $14.48 in afternoon trading. Repeated delays have turned the once-iconic BlackBerry into an afterthought in the shadow of the iPhone and Android devices. That has led some analysts to question whether the company that helped create the smartphone market will survive, especially as its losses have mounted in the past year.

With all the end-of-year hype surrounding the fiscal cliff and the relief that came with New Year’s legislation permanently extending most income tax rates, one change seems to have been veiled by the settling dust: the 2 percent increase in Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) tax. That increase, the result of an expiring provision that was not extended, means the vast majority of American workers are now receiving about 2 percent less in their takehome pay, an unwelcome surprise to some people. In the midst of the last recession a little more than two years ago, Congress passed and the president signed the Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization, and Job Creation Act of 2010. This new law included a 2 percent reduction in the Social Security (OASDI) portion of the FICA tax. The provision was designed to help put a little more money into the wallets of American workers during the challenging economic environment of 2011. While the employer portion of the OASDI contribution remained at 6.2

Paula Dorion-Gray percent, the employee contribution was reduced from 6.2 percent to 4.2 percent. The provision was extended through 2012 by the Temporary Payroll Tax Cut Continuation Act of 2011 and the Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012. The reduction was never meant to be permanent, as it put additional financial pressure on the already stressed Social Security Trust Fund. So during the 2012 fiscal cliff negotiations, both Democrats and Republicans agreed it should expire at the end of 2012. Workers in Illinois never really received the benefits of the FICA reduction as Illinois raised the state income tax from 3 percent to 5 percent at about the same time – basically cancelling out the FICA reduction. Despite media reports warning of the impending payroll tax increase, many Americans were caught off guard when they received their first

By MARTin CRUTSinGER AP Economics Writer WASHINGTON฀–฀The฀Federal฀Reserve฀said฀ Wednesday that the U.S. economy “paused” in recent months because of temporary factors and reaffirmed its commitment to try to stimulate growth by keeping borrowing costs low for the foreseeable future. The Fed took no new action at its two-day policy meeting. But it stood behind aggressive steps it launched in December to try to reduce unemployment, in a statement released after the meeting. In December, the Fed said it would keep its key short-term interest rate at a record low at least until unemployment falls below 6.5 percent. Unemployment is currently 7.8 percent. And the Fed said it would keep buying $85 billion a month in Treasurys and mortgage bonds to try to keep borrowing costs low and encourage spending.

paychecks in 2013. How much of an impact might the additional withholding have? A family earning $60,000 a year will see their pay cut by about $1,200, or $100 per month, during 2013. Those earning $100,000 will receive about $2,000, or about $167 per month, less. (The maximum amount of an individual’s earnings that is subject to Social Security tax in 2013 is $113,700.) While most experts believe the decrease in take-home pay won’t be enough to cause major economic damage, it may encourage families to cut back on spending enough to slightly dampen the nation’s overall growth. For example, the 2 percent decrease could represent a family’s monthly utility bill, an investment in a college savings account, or a week’s worth of groceries. Also consider that high earners will need to pay a bit more in Medicare taxes beginning in 2013. Taxpayers will pay an additional 0.9 percent Medicare tax on wages exceeding $200,000 for single/head of household, $250,000 for married couples filing jointly, and $125,000 for married couples filing separately. Taxpayers whose modified adjust-

ed gross income exceeds those same threshold amounts also will pay a 3.8 percent Medicare tax on some or all of their unearned income. These provisions were part of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010, and like the expiration of the FICA reduction, were not affected by the 2012 fiscal cliff legislation. When combined with the 2 percent Social Security increase, the total hit could mean a difference of several thousand dollars a year to some higher-earning taxpayers. If you have questions about your FICA withholding, your human resources department or personnel manager might be a good place to start. These representatives are typically prepared to answer such questions and can help you confirm that your withholding is correct.

The Fed’s decision to continue its stimulus programs was largely expected and had little impact on stock and bond prices. Earlier฀in฀the฀day,฀the฀Commerce฀Department said the economy unexpectedly shrank at an annual rate of 0.1 percent from October through December. The first quarterly drop in growth since the฀final฀months฀of฀the฀Great฀Recession฀was฀ mainly because companies restocked at a slower rate and the government slashed defense spending. In its statement, the Fed said “economic activity paused in recent months, in large part because of weather-related disruptions and other transitory factors.” Despite the slowdown, the statement noted that hiring continued to expand at a moderate pace, consumer spending and business investment increased and the housing sector showed further improvement. And it said strains in global financial markets have eased somewhat, but cautioned that risks remain.

Shaw Media expands Iowa operations

Helping 126 Homeowners by “Giving Away” *$1,829 Furnaces for $829 with Off-Season Central Air... (This is great ﬁnancial news if your furnace is over 12 years old)

NORTHWEST HERALD

NEWTON, Iowa – Shaw Media, owner of the Newton Daily News, and Arthur Publishing, owner of the weekly Jasper County Tribune in Colfax, Iowa, have entered a joint-operating agreement, the companies announced today. Shaw Media also owns the Northwest Herald, Kane County Chronicle and the Daily Chronicle in DeKalb. Under the deal, the Newton Daily News will manage the day-to-day functions of the Jasper County Tribune for the next 12 months and will then have an exclusive option to acquire the company. Allyn Arthur, owner of Arthur Publishing and publisher of the Jasper County Tribune since 1994, will serve as a consultant while the joint-operating agreement is in effect. “This is a great opportunity for our company,” said Dan Goetz, publisher of the Newton Daily News. “It is a big step forward for us as we look for opportunities to grow and to better serve the residents of Jasper County and central Iowa.” Tom Shaw, chief executive officer of Shaw Media, based in Dixon, said the agreement continued his company’s expansion. “The Jasper County Tribune is a nice addition to our growing family of newspapers,” he said. In October, Shaw Media bought Suburban Life publications and affiliated operations from GateHouse Media. Suburban Life, based in Downers Grove, is a group of 22 weekly newspapers in Chicago’s western suburbs. Suburban Life distributes in DuPage, Kane, McHenry, Will and Cook counties. The Suburban Life publications include the Elmhurst Press, Wheaton Leader, Downers Grove Reporter, Berwyn Life, along with other titles and websites.

A grow house shows a marijuana plant ready to be harvested. Last fall, voters made Washington and Colorado the first states to pass laws legalizing the recreational use of marijuana.

Wash. state looks for pot consultant By GENE JOHNSON The Associated Press SEATTLE – Wanted: A green thumb with extensive knowledge of the black, or at least gray, market. As Washington state tries to figure out how to regulate its newly legal marijuana, officials are hiring an adviser on all things weed: how it’s best grown, dried, tested, labeled, packaged and cooked into brownies. Those angling for the job were expected to learn more Wednesday in Tacoma. The state Liquor Control Board, the agency charged with developing rules for the marijuana industry, reserved a convention center hall with a capacity of 275 people – plus an overflow room – for its bidding experts to take questions about the position and the hiring process. “The Liquor Control Board has a long and a very good history with licensing and regulation. We know it and know how to do it well,” said spokesman Mikhail Carpenter. “But there are some technical aspects with marijuana we could use a consultant to help us with.” Last fall, Washington and Colorado became the first states to pass laws legalizing the recreational use of

marijuana and setting up systems of state-licensed growers, processors and retail stores where adults over 21 can walk in and buy up to an ounce of heavily taxed cannabis. Both states are working to develop rules for the emerging pot industry. Washington’s Liquor Control Board has advertised for consulting services in four categories. The first is “product and industry knowledge” and requires “at least three years of consulting experience relating to the knowledge of the cannabis industry, including but not limited to product growth, harvesting, packaging, product infusion and product safety.” Other categories cover quality testing, including how to test for levels of THC, the compound that gets marijuana users high; statistical analysis of how much marijuana the state’s licensed growers should produce; and the development of regulations, a category that requires “a strong understanding of state, local or federal government processes,” with a law degree preferred. In case no regulatory lawyers who grow pot in their spare time apply, multiple contracts could be awarded.

Dear Neighbor: This is great news for your wallet if your furnace is over 12 years old. Because, yes, it’s absolutely true... you can actually replace your old (and probably very inefﬁcient) gas furnace and air conditioner as a package for $1,000 less than you would have to pay at any other time. Please allow me to explain... Every year, the months of January, February, and March can “destroy” my business. I end up losing a ton of money during these “business destroyer” months and it can take me the remaining nine months to make up for them. I’m looking for the same thing to happen this year. That is why...

My Problem Is An Excellent Opportunity For You I employ great people and I want to keep them working during these long hard months. That is why I’ve decided to give up trying to make a proﬁt during the “business destroyer” months. If I can only minimize my losses during January, February, and March, I will come out ahead of the other nine months. Here’s how this (admittedly daring) offer came about.

Joe Brasco and his wife Ann Marie Brasco, of New Jersey Limo Bus & Limousine, pose for a portrait in Fairfield, N.J. The flu season has created a scramble for New Jersey Limo Bus & Limousine as two of the company’s seven full-time employees called in sick at the same time, but the Brascos have managed to find substitutes when workers have called in sick.

Flu outbreak particularly bad for many small businesses By JOYCE M. ROSENBERG AP Business Writer NEW YORK – The flu season has created a scramble for New Jersey Limo Bus & Limousine. Two of the company’s seven full-time employees called in sick at the same time. They were in charge of maintaining and cleaning the limos and buses. Two parttime drivers also called in sick. “It’s very difficult to get things done,” said Ann Marie Brasco, owner of the Fairfield, N.J., firm. The epidemic is giving small businesses across the country their own case of the flu. Productivity is suffering, meetings and conference calls are being canceled as employees call in sick and owners are getting nervous as project deadlines approach. Workers who are still healthy are stepping in to cover for absent

colleagues, and owners are looking outside their companies for backup help. Larger companies are also strained, but the situation is tougher on small businesses because they’re thinly staffed after holding off on hiring since the recession. Brasco and her husband, Joe, have managed to find substitutes when workers have called in sick. But with the flu rampant in New Jersey, they’re recruiting more backup drivers. It’s not a simple process – drivers have to be licensed to drive a limo, and they have to pass drug and background tests. If all else fails, the Brascos have to sub for their workers. When a driver called in sick during the flu season last year, Joe Brasco put on a tux and drove a Rolls-Royce for a wedding. The Brascos are taking other precautions – limos and buses are being scrubbed down

each time they are used. “It’s an enclosed cabin with everyone breathing in the same air,” Ann Marie Brasco said. The company has already lost some business because of the flu. One family that hired a bus for their daughter’s 16year-old birthday party had to cancel. The Brascos didn’t charge the family, but instead gave them a credit for a future rental. Researchers at Pepperdine University say small businesses are taking a bigger hit from the flu than larger companies. Preliminary results of a survey under way now show that smaller companies are experiencing a greater loss of productivity and higher costs from the epidemic, said Craig Everett, associate director of Pepperdine’s Private Capital Markets Project, which is conducting the survey.

• CHARTER

U.S. economy shifted into reverse

Continued from page D1 Growth of EMOs

The number of education management organizations has exploded on the national scene – for-profit groups growing from five in 1995-96 to 99 in 2010-11 and nonprofit organizations growing from 48 in 1998 to 197 in 2010-11 – according to the National Education Policy Center at the University of Colorado Boulder. That report showed that 35 percent of all public charter schools in the nation were operated by education management organizations -- both for-profit and nonprofit -- enrolling 42 percent of the nation’s charter school students. “Within a couple of years, we’re going to see the EMO sector account for more than half of the nation’s public charter school students,” said Mr. Miron, one of the authors of the policy center’s report. Miron said charter school growth plateaued around 200102 but got a significant boost from education management organizations. “There’s only a certain number of people who are going to sit around a kitchen table to start a charter school,” he said. “It was very complicated to run a school. Initially people thought anybody could open up a school, but eventually the stories came out about how difficult it was.” Ron Cowell, president of the Education Policy and Leadership Council and a state legislator when the charter school law was passed, said the Legislature didn’t envision “this idea of a national outfit deciding that there’s a business profit-making opportunity in Pennsylvania and they would come in and either help to establish a not-for-profit or find a not-for-profit.” But given a lack of capacity or expertise by some who would like to start a charter school, “I think it’s reasonable that somebody else would be paid to do this management stuff,” he said, but added that there are questions about whether the fees are reasonable and whether there is enough accountability and transparency at some charter schools. As education management organizations grew, they began to play a major role in fostering growth of charter schools, including encouraging the formation of some cyber charter schools which attract thousands of students. “What we are having now is private control of public schools,” said Mr. Miron. One of the goals of charter schools, of course, is to improve academic achievement. Though there are high-performing and low-performing schools in both categories, in overall comparisons of charter schools to each other, Mr. Miron said, “Every study that has looked at EMO v. nonEMO charter schools shows that the independent charter schools (overall) are performing better.”

Differences

Traditional public school districts also rely on private vendors for certain materials and services, but they typically use a range of vendors, choosing, say, a reading program from one vendor and a math program from another after a lengthy public approval process. School districts could hire education management organizations if certain legal requirements are met, including honoring union labor contracts, said Ira Weiss, a school solicitor whose clients include Pittsburgh Public Schools. But he said that while school districts often hire outside firms to provide food service or transportation, “there’s a huge amount of resistance to public school districts turning over core functions of education to the largely faceless corporate identities.” That in part reflects the realities of each type of school. School districts are longestablished, are used to handling many tasks in-house and have locally elected boards. Charter schools are much newer and do not necessarily have in-house expertise. They are run by boards that are not publicly elected but usually are selected because they support a particular mission and some-

times a particular education management organization. The state has 175 charter schools, including 16 cyber charter schools, according to Tim Eller, spokesman for the state Department of Education. In 2011-12, 105,036 Pennsylvania students attended 167 charter schools. (Total enrollment figures aren’t available yet for the current year.) Charter school spending totaled more than $1 billion in 2010-11. Eight charter schools each spent more than $20 million that year, and some of the biggest spenders employ large education management organizations. One such vendor is K12 Inc., a $708.4 million-a-year business serving more than 100,000 students a year in 32 states, including more than 2,000 school districts as well as charter schools. K12 began in fall 2001 with 900 students in the Pennsylvania Virtual Charter School and the Colorado Virtual Academy. Its biggest customer is in Pennsylvania, Agora Cyber Charter School, which has about 10,000 students and buys curriculum, technology and management services from K12. Agora’s IRS 990 form for 2010-11 lists $18.4 million in payments to K12. K12’s records show not just fees but all income, including pass-through payments it makes as a business agent, counting teacher salaries and benefits, as 13 percent of K12’s total revenue in 2011-12 or $92 million. K12 spokesman Jeff Kwitowski said K12 has spent millions developing its programs and provides services such as guaranteeing payments to employees even if the state or school district is slow in sending funds.

CHRISTOPHER S. RUGABER AP Economics Writer WASHINGTON – The U.S. economy shrank unexpectedly late last year, a reminder of the biggest threat it faces in 2013: sharp government spending cuts and prolonged political budget fights. A plunge in defense spending helped push the economy into negative territory for the first time since mid-2009. The contraction in the OctoberDecember quarter came in at an annual rate of 0.1 percent, according to a government estimate released Wednesday. The likelihood of another recession appears remote. The economy is forecast to grow around 2 percent this year as strength in areas like housing and auto sales could partly offset government cutbacks. Investors appear unfazed, too: The stock market has surged more than 6 percent this year and is nearing an all-time high. But economists warn that further spending cuts would weaken a still-precarious recovery. “One way or the other, government is going to be a constraint on growth,” said James Marple, senior economist at TD Bank. Deep spending cuts in defense and domestic programs are set to kick in March 1. Most of the federal government could shut down March 27 if Congress doesn’t extend a temporary measure authorizing funding. And the nation’s borrowing limit must

The U.S. economy unexpectedly shrank from October through December, the first quarterly drop since 2009 and a reminder of the economy’s vulnerability as automatic cuts in government spending loom. be raised by May 18 or the government could default on its debts. A sputtering economy could weaken President Barack Obama’s hand in dealing with Congress and complicate his efforts to push forward on other domestic priorities, such as immigration reform and gun control. The Commerce Department said the economy shrank last quarter mainly because companies restocked at a slower rate and the government slashed defense spending. Exports also fell. Economists say some of those factors could prove temporary. Still, the slowdown from the 3.1 percent

annual growth rate in the July-September quarter was unexpectedly sharp. For all of 2012, the economy expanded 2.2 percent, better than 2011’s growth of 1.8 percent. The Federal Reserve referred to the fourth-quarter slowdown Wednesday in a statement after a policy meeting. The U.S. economy appears to have “paused in recent months,” the Fed said, mainly because of temporary factors. The central bank said growth would likely resume this year. But it reaffirmed its commitment to stimulating the economy by keeping borrowing costs low for the

foreseeable future. Looming government cutbacks may already have hindered the economy: Concern over the year-end fiscal cliff could be one reason businesses slowed their restocking. And defense spending may have fallen as agencies prepared for automatic spending cuts. Congress managed to avert the fiscal cliff but only postponed the start of automatic spending cuts until March 1. The drag from the government comes as private-sector growth is picking up. Consumers and businesses spent more in the October-December quarter compared with the July-September quarter.

Startup engines While charter schools cannot be chartered by for-profit businesses in Pennsylvania, for-profit businesses can play a key role in starting a charter school. This was the case with Commonwealth Connections Academy, which opened in 2003 and always has contracted with an entity controlled by what now is known as Connections Education, headquartered in Baltimore. Connections Education, which began as Connections Academy in 2001, now provides virtual education support to full-time virtual schools in 22 states, serving more than 40,000 students. David N. Taylor of Conewago, Dauphin County, board president at Commonwealth Connections, said that when he was asked to join the first board, Connections Education already had been selected. He said Connections Education was “instrumental in helping us get off the ground” because in the early stages some school districts withheld payments. “Connections as our national vendor, our national partner, empowers us to do the really amazing things that we do,” he said. Taylor said he now is using his business connections to help Connections Education find a partner for a charter school in New Jersey. Over the years, he said, Commonwealth Connections Academy (which now has about 7,000 students) has developed “administrative capacity and in-school leadership,” which can enable Connections Education to focus on curriculum and technology. According to its 2010-11 IRS filing, Commonwealth Connections paid $31 million – nearly two-thirds of its expenditures – to Connections Academy located in Baltimore for “school management services.” This includes not only fees but also payments for various purchases and pass-through payments. Mr. Taylor said he sees detailed reports from Connections Education and “can justify every nickel of taxpayer money we’ve spent.” Last year, Pearson acquired Connections Education for $400 million from an investor group led by Apollo Management LP.

McHenry couple signs on to Old House New House show Jerry Kuyper

ST. CHARLES - The owners of Boone Creek Cabinet Co. of McHenry will be among the 300 exhibitors at next week’s Old House New House show. “Yes, we will be there. It will be our second appearance at the show,” Denis Buch said. He and wife Michele Buch, own and operate Boone Creek Cabinet Co. in McHenry’s Inland Business Park near the intersection of Route 31 and Bull Valley Road.. The show is Feb 8-10 in the Mega Expo Center and ballroom at Pheasant Run Resort, 4051 East Main St. Hours are 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Friday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Saturday and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday. Their first Old House New House foray was in September and it came after fruitless experiences at similar area trade shows. “We participated in other shows in the Chicago area and in our neck of the woods, but all we got were a lot of tire kickers. People advised us about the twice-yearly (February and September) St. Charles show and said it was the best one as you get a more serious crowd. Yes, I suppose you get some tire kickers, too, but more likely you get potential customers who are really serious about remodeling projects,” Buch said. Boone Creek Cabinet’s business is primarily based on remodels of kitchens and bathrooms. “The people who advised us

about St. Charles emphasized that it was not free. People actually had to pay to get into the show. That means a more serious approach by those attending, and attendance is good.” “Our attendance projection for our February event is 10,000 to 12,000 people. Traditionally our attendance falls right around 10,000 over the three days.” show manager Laura McNamara of Lisle-based Kennedy Productions said. “We are optimistic for the 2013 season as many of our clients are indicating that ‘things are picking up out there.’ In addition, we are feeling that many homeowners may have been putting projects off over the last four years with the sluggish economy.”

Besides preparing a display for the St. Charles event, Buch has been busy with providing service to paying customers as well as expanding his showroom floor at the Boone Creek Cabinet facility, 764 Ridgeview Drive. “We started out with 500 and expanded that to 1,000 and, shortly, we will add another 500 square feet to the showroom floor,” he said. With the 1,500 square feet of display room, the Buchs can showcase various products as well as potential bathroom and kitchen layouts. The Buchs have been busy with customers. During a recent interview, Buch said his 13-hour day began at 6 a.m. and might finish at 7 p.m. “We have a nice kitchen and bath business and we have been in retail based in McHenry for the better part of 40 years,” Buch said. “We can do everything, and we have the expertise and the manpower to do it.

They will display their abilities in a booth at the Feb. 8-10 Old House New House show in St. Charles. two guys in each crew. They do the remodeling. Then we have two electricians and floor companies we work with. Our tiling guy, for example, comes all the way up here from Aurora for us. Work is slow where he is so he makes the long drive. “We partner with our subs. We tell them what to do and they do it and do it well. They are good at what they do and very well-mannered when they go into a house. “Our last two jobs were in Kildeer and we were in those houses for seven to eight weeks. During that time, you become part of the family and you have to get along with these people as we might be in their house five days a week and sometimes six. “We keep in touch with our clients and want to keep up with what and how the work is being done. This makes their life a little bit easier, as well as ours, through the whole thing. “Our subs are good and do very good work and they clean up after themselves. They do it right the first time, and that means a lot to people.” Projects can vary in price and size. “We did a little itty bitty job in the Fox Lake-Grass Lake area last year and it was an $8,500 kitchen remodel. We had a bigger $18,500 project here in Mchenry. Then we had a $103,000 project in Kildeer where we redid the entire first floor including kitchen, laundry room, and powder room. We tore out all the flooring and put in new hardwood floors on the entire first floor. And we took the existing staircase in this 18-yearold house and replaced it with a wrought-iron-bannister staircase. We removed the old wood, tread, risers, rails, everything. Stripped them down and restained them. Instead of dated and showing its age, this wrought-iron staircase makes the house look new today.” Boone Creek Cabinet can be reached via an entry off Route 31 and another one

This women-owned business researches and selects companies with cutting-edge products and superior services to provide a

reliable resource for homeowners, McNamara said. Buch said he had to go through the vetting process. “Laura wanted to know a lot about us,” Buch said. “She had to interview us but once she found out we were members of NARI, she gave us the OK to be show participants.” With a local chapter based in Des Plaines, the National Association of the Remodeling Industry was founded in 1987 and has 280 member companies.

When it comes to choosing exhibitors, such as the Buchs, for the show, McNamara and staff are careful. “Our aim is to help homeowners make well-informed decisions on home improvements. The exhibitors and presenters affiliated with this event must be of the highest caliber,” she said.

Calvin Coolidge said, “The right thing to do never requires any subterfuge; it is always simple and direct.” That is true most of the time at the bridge table -but not always. Occasionally, a little subterfuge might save the day. Can you see a devious piece of deception for declarer in this deal? South is in four hearts. West leads the club nine. East wins with his ace and returns the suit. North used a transfer bid showing ive-plus hearts and zero-plus points. South used a superaccept, jumping to three hearts to promise a maximum with four hearts and a doubleton somewhere. With three minor-suit losers, it looks as though the trump inesse had better be working. But a quick peek at the diagram shows you that it is losing. Does declarer have any chance? East, after winning with the heart king, might retain his aversity to diamonds. Then declarer can draw trumps and discard two diamonds from the board, one on the third club and

one on the fourth spade. However, South has one other possibility. After winning the second trick, he should cash his third club and discard a spade from the board. Then he runs the heart queen. The inesse loses, but there is a good chance that East will shift to a spade. And if he does, declarer is home. There are two other points. First, South has to think of that ruse -- never stop considering the alternatives. And if East has a suspicious nature, it will be better to throw a diamond on the third club; then East will switch to a spade.

CROSSWORD

HOROSCOPE

TODAY - The year ahead will present a quality achievement cycle, but you’re going to have to work extremely hard to get what you want. Thankfully, however, you’re likely to have the proper motivation to do so. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Even if the behavior of someone you like proves to be frustrating, you’ll have the good judgment to cope with it philosophically, without damaging the relationship. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Although you’ll have the ability to size up situations accurately, there’s a good chance that you will do something that won’t serve your best interest. Use your common sense. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- A well-intentioned friend might try to tell you something for your own good that you won’t take well. Don’t blame the messenger for unpleasant information. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Even if you are luckier than usual in certain material matters, remember, your good fortune has its limit. Be careful not to push it beyond what is reasonable. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- If you find yourself dealing with a prima donna in an endeavor that requires team players, it might be smart to call in a replacement. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Your chances for achieving an important objective look good, provided you play it cool and keep a low profile. If you’re too visible, competitors might shoot you down. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- A social event that you aren’t too eager to join could actually turn out to be quite enjoyable. The problem won’t be with the affair -it’s likely to be with you. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Success is likely in a joint endeavor if you handle things correctly. The problem will come from the distribution of rewards, so be sure everyone involved is treated properly. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Reason rather than force must be used in all testy developments with which you might have to contend. Make certain your logic wins out over your baser impulses. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- It’s important that you have a voice in all matters that could cost you out of pocket. This is one area where others should not be allowed to make decisions for you. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Think of yourself as part of a team in all of your involvements with friends, and strive to be cooperative. If you are selfserving, you’ll stick out like a sore thumb. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Provided you don’t go off on tangents, you will be extremely adept at fulfilling your ambitious objectives. Waste your energies on side issues, however, and you won’t reach your goals.

Cast members from Williams Street Repertory’s production of “Company” rehearse ahead of the show’s opening this weekend.

Williams Street Rep in good ‘Company’ By JAMI KUNZER jkunzer@shawmedia.com No need to go to Chicago to see a musical, say those behind the upcoming production of “Company” at the Raue Center for the Arts in Crystal Lake. Starring a professional crew, including a former “Jersey Boy,” the six-time Tony award winning, romantic musical comedy opens Feb. 1. The production represents Williams Street Repertory’s longest running musical to date, with shows scheduled through Feb. 16. Starring John Michael Coppola as the lead character, “Bobby,” the musical is a perennial favorite at theaters across the country, Director Richard Kuranda said. “It’s great for Valentine’s Day,” he said. “For us, it’s a little bit of a departure from what we’ve done in the past.” Known for unique productions of “The Rocky Horror Picture Show,” and most recently, “It’s a Wonderful Life: The Radio Play,” Williams Street has taken on a classic, “sort of like the grand master of American musicals,” he said. “I’m proud of the entire production. I really am,” he said. “It’s just a very large musical that people will enjoy.” “Company” tells the story of New York city bachelor Bobby, who is turning 35 years old, and his clutch of married friends. It features songs, such as “The Ladies Who Lunch” and “Being

“COMPANY” Williams Street Repertory’s production of “Company,” the six-time Tony award winning romantic musical comedy

WHEN: Opens Feb. 1 and runs through Feb. 16. Showtimes include 8 p.m. Feb. 1-2, Feb. 8-9; 3 p.m. Feb. 10; 8 p.m. Feb. 15-16 WHERE: Raue Center for the Arts, 26 N. Williams St., Crystal Lake COST & INFO: Starting at $30. To order, visit rauecenter.org or call the box office at 815-356-9212 Alive.” Kuranda sought out Coppola for the lead after he performed “A Jersey Voice,” a solo concert featuring songs from the 1940s through today backed by seven-piece band, to open the Raue’s 2012-13 season. “I think he’s right on the verge of something really tremendous in his career,” Kuranda said. “When you see the triple threat talent he brings to the table, it’s amazing. He sings, he dances, he acts. It’s just wonderful.” Coppola, of Skokie, who recently performed “A Jersey Voice” at Huntley High School’s Performing Arts Center, jumped at the chance to play Bobby. “It’s a role I’ve been wanting to play for a long time,” he said. “I’m at the right age for it. . . I’ve known this show since I was a kid. I grew up around the arts. Even though the subject matter

was much more mature than I was aware of at the time, the music of the show has always appealed to me.” Coppola already had included a couple of the songs from the musical in his solo concert. The concert also includes stories about his journey moving his family from New Jersey to Chicago so he could become an original cast member of the city’s “Jersey Boys.” He was the understudy and performed the role of Frankie Valli of The Four Seasons. Coppola has appeared on stages throughout the United States in his 17year career and said he enjoyed getting to know all involved in Williams Street. He hopes to do more shows at the Raue. “It’s been a really great company of people to work with,” he said. Of the show, he said, “It’s kind of heady material for Valentine’s Day, but it’s a fun show because it may open up dialogue between people that maybe never crossed their minds before.” The show also features 22-year-old Dana Parker, of Buffalo Grove, as April, one of Bobby’s three girlfriends. A recent graduate of the University of Illinois, where she studied acting, Parker also appeared in Williams Street’s “The Fantasticks” in August. “Company” has been challenging, she said. “It’s such an ensemble based show,” she said. “It’s been a challenge to show the character I want to show in the short snippets I have. You just kind of have to put it all out there.”

h o Wild about the g “ Once in awhile, he’ll say he’d like to come back. It’s something we try. We’ll never give up, but it’s not something we really expect.

Maggie Crane

Groundhog Days volunteer committee member, speaking about “Groundhog Day“ star Bill Murray

Fest celebrates 20 years since release of ‘Groundhog Day’ that was filmed in Woodstock By JAMI KUNZER

jkunzer@shawmedia.com

In the 20 years since the film “Groundhog Day” was released, fans have watched it over and over and over again. Many of those fans will return to Woodstock, where the movie was filmed, for a celebration they’ve also repeated over and over and over again. “There are a group of people who absolutely love this movie,” said Maggie Crane, a member of the volunteer committee that organizes Woodstock’s annual Groundhog Days celebration. “It’s a cult movie,” she said. “We will go on the walking tour [of film sites]. It can be freezing cold, raining, lots of things, and you’ll find people who’ve seen the movie 46 times. And I’m not exaggerating.” The walking tours are just some of the events planned through Feb. 3, to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the release of the movie. The events raise money for various charities, including the Woodstock Food Pantry. “Many of them are returning because of course we do them over and over again until we get it right,” Crane said. The biggest draw by far? Woodstock Willie, of course. As in year’s past, the resident groundhog will make his prognostication at Gobbler’s Knob, otherwise known as the Woodstock Square. He’ll emerge from his tree trunk home to predict the coming of spring, just as he did during the film. If he sees his shadow, it’s six more weeks of winter, or so the folklore goes. If not, spring will come early. Last year, at least 400 people filled the Square on a cold, early morning. This year’s event takes place at 7 a.m. Feb. 2. A breakfast afterward at the Woodstock VFW already has sold out, Crane said. Other events include a first annual bowling event, including bowling and food specials Feb. 2 at Wayne’s Lanes, 109 E. Church St.,

There is an official plaque on the spot on the Woodstock Square where Bill Murray stepped in a puddle on his way to meet the groundhog in “Groundhog Day.” which was featured in the movie. Also new is a Saturday, Feb. 2, Bags Tournament at Ormann’s Red Iron Tavern, 101 E. Church St. Organizers have tried to add more events on Saturday to draw in those who come for the early morning prognostication, Crane said. The celebration not only remains popular because the film’s a favorite, but also because there’s not many other things to do this time of year, she said. “We don’t have any competition, and people like to get out and about this time of year,” she said. “The third reason, it’s fun. It’s goofy,” she said. “The reason we’re all members of the committee is because it’s fun.” And it wouldn’t be a Groundhog Days story without a mention of Bill Murray, one of the stars of the film, and whether he’ll ever return to Woodstock. Murray typically golfs in the National ProAm tournament in Pebble Beach, Calif., at the time the celebration takes place. “Once in awhile, he’ll say he’d like to come back,” Crane said. “It’s something we try. We’ll never give up, but it’s not something we really expect.”

Christopher Walken, Alan Arkin and Al Pacino star in “Stand Up Guys.”

Veteran actors elevate ‘Stand Up Guys’ By CHRISTY LEMIRE The Associated Press Watching “Stand Up Guys” feels akin to seeing an old, favorite rock band getting back together for one last gig after decades apart. They’re not as energetic as they once were, their vocals aren’t as powerful, but an obvious camaraderie still exists as well as a touch MORE of rebellion. ONLINE Christopher Walken, Watch a video of Al Pacino and Alan “Stand Up Guys” Arkin are all performing at PlanitNorththeir greatest hits in this west.com con-man comedy, albeit within dialed-down versions of their familiar screen personae. These no longer go to 11; Pacino mercifully isn’t in full-on “Hooah!” mode. But there’s enough humor and tenderness in Fisher Stevens’ film to make it a passably enjoyable experience for the most part. Some plot twists toward the end do feel too convenient and contrived, however. The real joys of Noah Haidle’s script come from the moments that aren’t

“Stand Up Guys”

HH 1/2

STARRING: Al Pacino, Alan Arkin, Christopher Walken

PLOT: A pair of aging con men try to get the old gang back together for one last hurrah before one of the guys takes his last assignment – to kill his comrade. RATED: R for language, sexual content, violence and brief drug use RUNNING TIME: 1 hour, 35 minutes so forced, when these veteran actors are talking, catching up and bouncing off each other. The three have never appeared in a movie together before, yet they effortlessly elevate what might have been some corny material just by showing up and being such pros. At the film’s start, Pacino’s character, Val, has just been released from prison after 28 years for refusing to give up one of his associates during a shootout – hence the title. Val’s sacrifice makes him a stand-up guy. His best friend, Doc (Walken), is there to pick him up for a wild night on the town, which may also be Val’s last night; he’s still a target of a vengeful mobster despite his newfound freedom (and his

age). The two meander around Los Angeles, looking for some trouble to get into, complete with the kind of clunky jokes about Viagra and new-fangled keyless car ignitions that you might expect. They also pay a couple of visits to an awkwardly cast Lucy Punch as a woman who runs a brothel out of her home. But things pick up significantly once they decide to bust their old pal, Hirsch (Arkin), out of the retirement home in the middle of the night for some spontaneous adventures. They actively seek out danger as a means of fending off death. Walken is quiet, still and absurdly halting – the well-armed brains of the operation but with a kind heart. Pacino is the wild man who still wants to party, but there’s also a vulnerability to him that’s appealing. And there isn’t nearly enough of Arkin, the dryly gruff former getaway driver who finds he still has some skills left when he’s called upon to use them. Watching “Stand Up Guys” made me want to watch a documentary instead of Walken, Pacino and Arkin driving around the city, sharing stories, comparing notes, laughing and riffing in the dead of night.

The Joy Formidable “Wolf’s Law” HH 1/2

The 2011 release “The Big Roar” from Welsh alt-rockers The Joy Formidable did well to introduce the band’s sound of Mack truck guitars and endlessly pounding drum beats. The album’s sound, even with its battering ram tendencies, never really got tiring. It also didn’t leave much wiggle room for the band to take its music to the next level on its followup album, “Wolf’s Law.” The Joy Formidable do little to give “Wolf’s Law” its own personality. Instead, the band chooses to stay true to the sound it established on the full-length debut. “The Ladder is Ours,” “Bats” and a few other tracks on this one keep to the familiar formula concocted on “The Big Roar.” The Joy Formidable does make a couple feeble attempts to lighten things up on “Wolf’s Law.” But, the acoustic “Silent Treatment” falls flat while “The Turnaround” tries too hard to be epic, resulting in a sloppy orchestral mess. It was probably best The Joy Formidable stays inside their comfort zone after all.

Dropkick Murphys

“Signed and Sealed in Blood” HH The usual schedule for the Dropkick Murphys is to release an album about once every other year in the months leading up to St. Patrick’s Day, tour, rinse with Guinness and repeat. “Signed and Sealed in Blood” is mostly what we’ve come to expect from the celtic-punk band. “Prisoner’s Song” sounds like a handful of other songs in the Dropkick Murphys’ catalog. Same for “Burn” and “The Boys are Back.” Now eight albums into its existence, where can the Boston-based band really go with its music anyway? How about a Christmas song? “The Season’s Upon Us,” while a dysfunctional tale, is just that. The rest of “Signed and Sealed in Blood” remains predictable. The Dropkick Murphys subscribe to the same idea behind several punk acts established in the late-’90s and early-2000s who have chosen to remain true to their sound while building loyal fan bases. More bagpipes, more sing-alongs and more songs to play on tour.

FEATURED RELEASE Tegan and Sara “Heartthrob” HH 1/2 Canadian pop rock, twin sister act Tegan and Sara have mostly flown under the radar when it comes to mainstream media recognition. But “Heartthrob,” the 32-year-olds’ seventh full-length studio album, could change all of that. “Closer,” the release’s first track and single, is soaked in synth sounds. Keyboards are nothing new for Tegan and Sara as the backbone of their music has long been guitar and keys. However, here, they’ve turned up the keyboards while backing off the guitar, making a turn toward being more of a synth-pop act. “Closer” does a great job establishing what to expect from the rest of the album, which has an ’80s vibe to it. We’re talking music fit for the closing credits of a John Hughes film kind of feel. Tegan and Sara pull off the sound the best on the album opener, but fail to keep the momentum for the next nine tracks. The ’80s schtick gets old about halfway in. “How Come You Don’t Want Me” is drowned keyboard sounds. It lacks a poppy beat to grab on to. The following song, “I Couldn’t Be Your Friend,” does a better job of dragging things out of the deep end, but it’s a little late. “Heartthrob” gets off to a great start, but fails to capitalize on its early strengths. Still, the attempt is a welcome change for Tegan and Sara, and should get people to take notice.
