Inside Lyons: A few things Quinn should have said. PAGE A2.

By KEVIN P. CRAVER kcraver@shawmedia.com McHenry County’s representatives in Springfield wanted to hear Gov. Pat Quinn acknowledge a fiscal crisis and call lawmakers to action in his State of the State address Wednesday. Most said they were left wanting after a 40-minute speech that made scattered references to the state’s unfunded pension liability of at

least $96 billion and no reference to the state’s $9 billion in unpaid bills. State Reps. David McSweeney, R-Barrington Hills, and Mike Tryon, R-Crystal Lake, said Quinn’s address sounded more like a kickoff of his 2014 re-election campaign than a serious accounting of the state’s dire financial situation. “I wanted to hear from Gov. Quinn that we’re in a state of fiscal emergency. The discus-

sion today was just a litany of special-interest, liberal programs he wants to pursue, and that’s very disappointing. The house is on fire,” McSweeney said. Quinn did not dedicate any one portion of his address to the state’s finances as he did with subjects such as jobs, hiring of veterans, health care, education and public safety. His first statement about the pension crisis – the word “pension” appeared eight times in

his address – did warn that the issue, if left unchecked, could derail the state’s economic recovery. “This is a choice about whether we’ll make the tough decisions necessary to balance our budget by reforming our public pension systems, or whether we will let our jobs, our safety and our schools be squeezed out by skyrocketing pension costs. We have a tall

Quinn pushes ethics reform, higher wages The ASSOCIATED PRESS SPRINGFIELD – Gov. Pat Quinn boosted his populist credentials Wednesday as he looks toward a 2014 re-election bid, calling for tougher conflict-of-interest controls on lawmakers, increasing the minimum wage to $10 per hour

and banning military-style assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition feeders. In the annual State of the State address to a joint session of the General Assembly, Quinn said state law should prohibit lawmakers from voting on issues where they have a conflict of interest. He urged

the Legislature to impose the same kind of ethics requirements on itself that it previously approved for judges and administration officials in a state that has seen its past two governors jailed on corruption charges. But lawmakers weren’t keen on what’s perceived as

a direct challenge to the Legislature’s authority, and even government watchdogs pointed out it’s a thorny issue that isn’t as clear cut as it seems. Quinn made only scattered references to the state’s most pressing problem – a stifling

WOODSTOCK – Family Alliance built a business on providing home care to the elderly. But sometimes the caregivers themselves need help. The always-evolving adult day care center added a grief and loss support group this month. It’s led by Nicole O’Dea, a social worker who joined the staff in September. And in coming months, it will add a caregiver support group for the Spanish-speaking population. The new groups are part of an effort to grow into the community’s needs. New Director Kim Larson is putting her stamp on the center founded and methodically grown under Carol Louise, who retired this year. “The population of 65 and better is growing by 10,000 every day, so that’s enormous,” Larson said. “There’s going to be a lot of needs that we can’t even identify yet. We’re just trying to stay ahead of the curve.” The older population is expected to double between 2000 and 2030. By 2030, nearly one in five people will be 65 or older, according to the Administration on Aging in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. “We’re prepared and we want to be visionary,” Larson said. “We know we want to grow. We’re just trying to identify what those needs are and

GENERAL INFORMATION: 815-459-4040

These would be Quinn-essential remarks As I sat here Wednesday morning staring at a blank screen onto which words are supposed to flow from my brain through this keyboard, there were a few moments before Gov. Pat Quinn began his annual State of the State address. While it’s a significant news event of the day, a large part of me couldn’t be less interested in anything Quinn has to say. This is still Illinois, right? What on Earth could he say? Illinois government is a disaster. As journalist David Frum pointed out in a recent piece, this state’s credit rating is on par with the African nation of Botswana. Actually, that’s an insult to Botswana, a small desert nation that’s doing OK in comparison with other African nations. Here on our own continent, Illinois is racing toward the bottom with California. At least the Pacific Ocean

VIEWS Kevin Lyons can ease their landing. We have to apologize to Iowa and Indiana for the ruckus. Quinn can’t be entirely honest and no politician from any party ever is during these kinds of speeches. But wouldn’t it be refreshing if Quinn stepped behind the lectern and said it like he probably knows it is. “Ladies and Gentleman. Your Majesty, the speaker, and the rest of you. Yeah, I’m sorry, but we’ve got big problems. And they aren’t getting much better.” After loosening his tie, he steps down toward the chamber. “Look, I know the two guys before

me were bad. One’s still in prison and the other one is on house arrest. Even though I’m still a free man, it turns out that I’m not very good at this governor thing, either. But look what I had for role models. Cut me some slack.” Quinn stuffs his hands into his pockets and stares down at his loafers. “But, frankly, you guys aren’t exactly on fire, either. I mean, c’mon. It takes a Democratic governor to lecture on pension reform and you guys still can’t get anything done? The unfunded pension liability we’ve been fretting over for several years is at $200 billion now.” He looks at the date on his watch. It might be a special day to deliver an annual address, but it’s just another day that the state incurs $21 million in debt because of its failure to act on pension reform. Tomorrow, tack on another $21 million.

“And I haven’t even mentioned the $9 billion and climbing in unpaid bills. If Illinois was a retail shopper, we’d be rejected for a Kohl’s card.” Quinn sighs. He fumbles through his note cards, most of which are about raising the minimum wage, gay marriage and an assault weapons ban even though state officials still haven’t dealt with the court mandate to develop a concealed-carry law in Illinois. “This stuff’s all well and good and we have the votes for some of it, but to most people in Illinois, they aren’t the most pressing matters. The fact is, we’re broke.”

8WATER COOLER Library book returned 55 years late, with $100 NEW YORK – A long-overdue book has finally been returned to the New York Public Library – 55 years late. The Daily News said the biography of a 16th century priest called “Fire of Francis Xavier” was checked out of the Fort Washington branch in upper Manhattan on April 10, 1958. Library manager Jennifer Zarr told the newspaper the book arrived at the library on Monday wrapped in a plain brown envelope with a check for $100 to cover the dues inside. Zarr said library records don’t go back to 1958 and there’s no way to trace who borrowed the book. She would not reveal the name on the check.

Scouts delay decision on gays until May The ASSOCIATED PRESS IRVING, Texas – Caught in an ideological crossfire, the Boy Scouts of America is delaying until May a vote on whether to ease its policy of excluding gays as Scouts and adult leaders. Any eventual decision is likely to anger major constituencies and worsen schisms within Scouting. The delay, which the Scouts attributed to “the complexity of this issue,” was announced Wednesday after closed-door deliberations by the BSA’s national executive board. Under consideration was a proposal to ease the longstanding ban on gays by allowing local troops to decide for themselves on gay membership. As the board met over three

The organization announced last week that it was considering allowing Scout troops to decide whether to allow gay membership, ensuring that the executive board meeting would be in the national spotlight. Learning that a decision would be deferred, gay-rights leaders assailed the BSA, while conservative leaders expressed relief that the ban on gays had not been lifted but made clear they would keep pressure on the BSA ahead of the May meeting.

As much as the iconic youth organization has argued for the freedom to teach its own values to American boys, it is now deeply entangled in the broader cultural and political conflicts over such issues as same-sex marriage and religious freedom.

Obama seeks new ties with Netanyahu By JULIE PACE The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – After a long and chilly four years, Barack Obama hopes to reset his relationship with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu when he makes his first trip to Israel as president this spring. Obama won’t be carrying any big new Mideast peace plans when he embarks on the trip, which will include a stop in the Israeli-occupied Palestinian territories, officials said. But repairing the relationship with Netanyahu, a key ally with whom Obama has often been at odds, could itself be a crucial step toward reopening a pathway to peace in the region. In his meetings with Netanyahu and Palestinian leaders, Obama will stress the importance of getting the parties

back to the negotiating table. But U.S. officials caution that no breakthroughs are expected to emerge during the president’s trip and reviving the peace process in the near term is not seen as realistic by the Obama administration. “That is not the purpose of this visit,” White House spokesman Jay Carney said Wednesday. Despite the deep ties between the U.S. and Israel, traveling to Jerusalem is always a tricky prospect for American presidents, given that their visits often raise expectations for U.S.-brokered peace deals. Only four U.S. presidents have visited Israel since the country was formed: Richard Nixon, Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton and George W. Bush, who visited twice in the final year of his presidency. Seeking to temper expectations, the White House is em-

Both men are

freshly re-elected and stuck with each other for the foreseeable future, although each may have hoped for a new ne-

gotiating partner. Obama will enter the oneon-one talks in a position of some strength, having solidly won re-election in November by defeating Republican Mitt Romney, whom the Israeli leader all but publicly endorsed. Netanyahu, despite embarking on his third term as prime minister, was weakened by last month’s Israeli elections. A new centrist party had an unexpectedly strong showing, and that will force Netanyahu to form a coalition government in the coming weeks. Eytan Gilboa, an expert on U.S.-Israel relations at Israel’s Bar Ilan University, said the talks between the two leaders “could lead to a new page in American-Israeli relations, and personal relations between Obama and Netanyahu.”

Mail carrier Bruce Nicklay delivers letters to homes Wednesday in Winona, Minn. The U.S. Postal Service will stop delivering mail on Saturdays but continue to deliver packages six days a week under a plan aimed at saving about $2 billion annually, the agency said.

Saturday mail to be cut Postal Service will deliver only packages if plan approved At a glance

The ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON – Saturday mail may soon go the way of the Pony Express and penny postcards. The Postal Service said Wednesday it plans to cut back to five-day-a-week deliveries for everything except packages to stem its financial losses in a world radically reordered by the Internet. “Our financial condition is urgent,” declared Postmaster General Patrick R. Donahoe. But Congress has voted in the past to bar the idea of eliminating Saturday delivery, and his announcement immediately drew protests from some lawmakers. The plan, which is to take effect in August, also brought vigorous objections from farmers, the letter carriers’ union and others. The Postal Service, which suffered a $15.9 billion loss in the past budget year, said it expected to save $2 billion an-

nually with the Saturday cutback. Mail such as letters and magazines would be affected. Delivery of packages of all sizes would continue six days a week. The plan accentuates one of the agency’s strong points: Package delivery has increased by 14 percent since 2010, officials say, while the delivery of letters and other mail has plummeted. Email has decreased the mailing of paper letters, but online purchases have increased package shipping, forcing the Postal Service to adjust to cus-

tomers’ new habits. In fact, the Postal Service has had to adapt to changing times ever since Benjamin Franklin was appointed the first postmaster general by the Continental Congress in 1775. The Pony Express began in 1860, six-day delivery started in 1863, and airmail became the mode in 1918. Twice-a-day delivery was cut to once a day in 1950 to save money. But change is not the biggest factor in the agency’s predicament. Congress is. The majority of the service’s red ink comes from a 2006 law forcing it to pay about $5.5 billion a year into future retiree health benefits, something no other agency does. Without that payment – $11.1 billion in a two-year installment last year – and related labor expenses, the mail agency sustained an operating loss of $2.4 billion for the past fiscal year, lower than the previous year.

WASHINGTON – A Senate hearing on John Brennan’s nomination to head the CIA could lay bare some parts of the secret war against al-Qaida: lethal drone strikes from covert bases against even American terror suspects, harsh interrogation methods and long detention of suspects without due process. Some of the practices produced revulsion among some in Congress and the public, but the outcry has been muted because Brennan and others say these harsh and secretive methods have saved American lives. Those issues will be front and center in the Senate Intelligence Committee hearing today for Brennan – a chance for him to answer criticism that he backed the detention and interrogation policy while he served at the CIA under President George W. Bush, charges that stymied his first attempt to head the agency in 2008. In answers to questions from the Senate Intelligence Committee before the hearing, Brennan said he was “aware of the program but

did not play a role in its creation, execution or oversight,” and added that he “had significant concerns and personal objections” to the interrogation methods. He wrote that he voiced those objections at the agency privately. Brennan also described how individuals are targeted for drone John strikes, sayBrennan ing whether a suspect is deemed an imminent threat – and therefore appropriate for targeting – is made “on a case-by-case basis through a coordinated interagency process” involving intelligence, military, diplomatic and other agencies. He defended the missile strikes by Predator or Reaper drones as a more humane form of war. Aides have portrayed him as restraining others at the CIA or military who would use them more often, even though as the White House’s counterterror czar he has presided over an explosion of drone strikes in Pakistan, Yemen and Somalia.

8STATE BRIEFS Dixon official who took $53M seeks leniency CHICAGO – An attorney for a former Illinois bookkeeper who stole $53 million in public funds is arguing for a lenient prison sentence, saying the woman has cooperated with investigators since her arrest and must endure “disrepute and shame” for the rest of her life. Rita Crundwell, the former comptroller in the city of Dixon, is scheduled to be sentenced Feb. 14. She faces up to 20 years in prison after pleading guilty to a felony count of wire fraud. Guidelines that take into account her acceptance of responsibility and lack of prior criminal history put the possible punishment at between 13 and 16 years in prison. Public defender Paul Gaziano is arguing for a sentence at the lower end of that range.

Suit: Reading email, taking calls is OT work CHICAGO – A federal lawsuit claiming scores of Chicago police officers are owed overtime for work performed after hours on departmentrequisitioned smartphones is still on track. Sgt. Jeffrey Allen’s lawyers and city attorneys attended a hearing Wednesday to tell a judge they had agreed on the wording of documents to be sent to other officers asking if they want to join the suit. It claims bosses pressured subordinates to answer work calls and emails but told them not to file for overtime. The city counters that written policy is that officers should ask for overtime.

Stomach virus prompts quarantine at jail CHICAGO – What officials say is an outbreak of the “stomach flu” in the Cook County Jail has prompted the sheriff to quarantine one of the jail’s largest divisions. Sheriff Tom Dart said the bug causes diarrhea and vomiting and has hit the largest minimum security division in the Chicago facility that houses about 700 inmates. Dart said about 30 inmates are now “really sick.”

More Metra rate hikes

A year after the biggest rate increase in its history, a new hike went into effect this month for riders of Metra’s suburban rail service. The 10-ride ticket, which previously was discounted, now costs the same as 10 individual, one-way tickets. In McHenry County, the ticket price increased to $82.50 from $74.25 and to $92.50 from $83.25. The increase ranged For the record from $2.75 to $9.25, depending Metra needs to get its fiscal on where in the house in order so it is not county you board. constantly raising its rates. About 20 percent of Metra riders are 10-ride tickets buyers. More than half purchase discounted monthly passes. While the single-ride tickets and monthly passes did not increase this year, they did significantly last year. We can understand why many Metra commuters are getting frustrated with the constant rate increases. The state Legislature doubled the Regional Transportation Authority’s sales tax in the collar counties in 2008 in part to help fund Metra. Ever since, however, Metra continues to bump its rates. We understand that Metra needs to upgrade its infrastructure and technology, and that energy costs continue to rise. We support the commuter rail service because it takes cars off our congested road system, is more convenient, and is better overall for the environment. And we’ve traditionally favored user fee hikes over blanket tax increases, such as what the General Assembly did with sales taxes in 2008, because it means that those using the service pay. But at what point do the continually rising costs deter commuters from using it? Many Metra riders still remember the mismanagement and outright theft under former Metra Executive Director Phil Pagano, who killed himself on the day he was to be fired for stealing hundreds of thousands of dollars from the agency. Metra and its parent agency, the RTA, need to get their fiscal house in order, and work to contain these ever-increasing rate increases.

Fla. pension reform One of the priorities for Florida House Speaker Will Weatherford and Senate President Don Gaetz this spring? Pension reform. That once-sacred promise to workers is on the chopping block. The two Republican leaders want to enroll all state workers hired after Jan. 1, 2014, in 401(k)-style investment plans. It’s a move bound to anger government employees, especially on the heels of last month’s Florida Supreme Court ruling requiring that state workers start contributing to their own retirement. It’s also the only responsible path to follow. As Florida continues to dig out of the worst economic period since the Depression, lawmakers have to look for any way they can to cut costs. And that includes pensions. The Miami Herald

8IT’S YOUR WRITE Business as usual To the Editor: The U.S. Constitution states, “Congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof ...” If Hobby Lobby chooses to follow biblical principles as guidelines for the operation of its business, it should be able to do so. It should not be fined or forced to close its doors. It is protected by our Constitution. Hobby Lobby is a well-established business and has thousands of employees. This is good for our economy. A large number of Hobby Lobby customers are crafters. They, in turn, participate in craft fairs and, therefore, generate another business. The common-sense solution for Hobby Lobby is to leave it alone and let it continue to do business as usual. Liz Vaughn Huntley

Cary Grove Neighborhood Life is a grass-roots organization that helps the communities of Cary and Fox River Grove. Its mission is to serve those in need. This may be for your neighbor right next door, or for you. If you would like to help volunteer or help support Cary Grove Neighborhood Life, visit www. carygrove.org. To find the church sites, visit McHenry County PADS: www.pioneercenter.org. McHenry County PADS also can use your assistance. For 25 years now, the church PADS sites have helped the homeless. The churches are at maximum capacity. Our county needs a central human developmental center to address homelessness, and to transition people out of homelessness. As I write this, the temperature tonight is zero, and we will have women, children, veterans and those with other challenges sleeping in cars and the woods. The time has arrived where McHenry County and its citizens need to sit down and discuss how we can help our neighbors who do not have a bed. To help, call Sts. Peter and Paul PADS at 847-516-2636.

What marriage is To the Editor: The other day, Capitol Fax columnist Rich Miller wrote that Illinois Republicans can be as ignorant as Democrats when it comes to the issue of marriage. That’s not news. In fact, much of what’s read within the pages of today’s newspapers explains perfectly why the phrase “low-information voters” is gaining popularity. Case in point: When is the last time you read anything substantive about so-called homosexual “marriage” that actually addressed what marriage is? For centuries, everyone knew instinctively that marriage was not about emotional bonds and sexual feelings – if it were, people could marry friends and more than one person. As one writer has explained, our low-information media aims to keep Americans from wondering why, if marriage has no intrinsic connection to sexual complementarity or procreative potential, we

limit it to two people. It wants to keep them from asking whether prohibiting polyamorists from marrying the persons they love constitutes hatred, discrimination and intolerance. It wants to keep Americans from demanding evidence for the claim that homosexuality is by nature like race. The media don’t want Americans to understand that the First Amendment’s protection of our God-given religious liberty conflicts at all points with the promotion of homosexual behavior. And the certainly don’t want Americans to understand that to further destroy the marriage culture is to accept ever-larger government. Decades of evidence prove that taxpayers pay the price for the breakdown of the family through welfare, crime and the cultural drag of yet another generation of low-information voters.

Bind Congress with constitutional amendment to balance budget WASHINGTON – The arguments against a constitutional amendment to require balanced budgets are various and, cumulatively, almost conclusive. Almost. The main arguments are: The Constitution should be amended rarely and reluctantly. Constitutionalizing fiscal policy is a dubious undertaking. Unless carefully crafted, such an amendment might instead be a constant driver of tax increases. A carefully crafted amendment that minimizes this risk could not pass until Republicans have two-thirds majorities in both houses of Congress, which they have not had since 1871. Furthermore, requiring a balanced budget would incite creative bookkeeping that would make a mockery of the amendment and the Constitution. For example, New York, which like 48 other states (all but Vermont) has some sort of requirement for a balanced budget, once balanced its by selling Attica Prison to itself: A state agency established to fund urban redevelopment borrowed $200 million in the bond market, gave the money to the state, and took title to the prison.

Editorial Board: John Rung, Dan McCaleb, Kevin Lyons, Stacia Hahn, Jon Styf, Kate Schott

The state recorded as income the $200 million its agency had borrowed, declared the budget balanced, then rented the prison from the agency for a sum adequate to service the $200 million debt. There is, however, one sufficient argument for a balanced-budget amendment. It is: George Mason University’s James Buchanan. This Nobel laureate economist, who died last month at 93, pioneered the “public choice” school of analysis, the premise of which is in the title of his 1979 essay “Politics Without Romance.” Public choice theory applies economic analysis – essentially, the study of how incentives influence behavior – to politics. Public choice analysis began in the 1960s, when Washington’s social engineers were busy as beavers building a Great Society, and confidence in government reached an apogee that prudent people hope never will be matched. Public choice theory demystified politics by puncturing the grand illusion that nourishes government growth. It is the fiction that elected politicians and government admin-

VIEWS George Will istrators are more nobly motivated, unselfish and disinterested than are persons acting in the private sector. Buchanan extended the idea of the profit motive to the behavior of politicians and bureaucrats, two groups seeking to maximize power the way many people in the private sector maximize monetary profits. Public-sector actors often do this by transactions with rent-seekers – private factions trying to maximize their welfare by getting government to give them benefits, such as appropriations, tax preferences and other subsidies. Critics have dismissed as mere anti-government ideology the injection by public choice theory of realism into the analysis of collective action through politics. Such critics cling to a comforting – and, for advocates of ever-bigger government, a convenient – theory. It is that in politics and government, people, acting as voters or legislators or

8THE FIRST AMENDMENT

administrators, do not behave as people do in markets – they supposedly are not responsive to incentives for personal aggrandizement. Actually, Buchanan’s theory supplanted an ideology – the faith in government as omniscient and benevolent. It replaced it with realism about the sociology of government and the logic of collective action. The theory’s explanatory and predictive power, Buchanan wrote, derives from its “presumption that persons do not readily become economic eunuchs as they shift from market to political participation.” Concerning the cold logic of power maximization, Buchanan was as unsentimental as Machiavelli, whose “The Prince,” the primer on realism that announced political modernity, appeared exactly half a millennium ago, in 1513. Concerning the naturalness of self-interested behavior – its foundation in unchanging human nature – Buchanan stood in a line of thinkers that includes James Madison, the foremost realist among the cohort of realists we call the Founders. Six days after Buchanan died, House Republicans provided dismal

(and redundant) validation of public choice theory. Rep. Mick Mulvaney, R-S.C., supported by Majority Leader Eric Cantor and Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan, proposed offsetting just $17 billion of the $60 billion aid for victims of Superstorm Sandy, and doing so by cutting just 1.63 percent from discretionary government spending. Rep. Hal Rogers, R-Ky., chairman of the Appropriations Committee, said this would “slash and burn” important programs, and the measure failed because 71 Republicans opposed it. The political class is incorrigible because it is composed of – let us say the worst – human beings. They respond to incentives of self-interest. Their acquisitiveness is not for money but for the currency of power, which they act to retain and enlarge. This class can be constrained, if at all, not by exhorting them to become disinterested but by binding them with a constitutional amendment.

Acapulco rape case casts pall on tourism The ASSOCIATED PRESS ACAPULCO, Mexico – The tourism world turned its eyes on Mexico after six Spanish women were raped by masked gunmen during a vacation in the long-troubled Pacific coast resort of Acapulco. While there has been talk of reviving the golden era of the ’40s and ’50s, international tourists have long steered away from Acapulco, even before the drug violence of recent years, as the city fell into disrepair and glitzier Cancun and Los Cabos gained favor. The question now is whether the attack will affect other area resorts as Mexico prepares for its annual spring break onslaught and peak season. The hours-long assault was carried out by a gang of masked gunmen who burst into the beachfront home before dawn on Monday and tied up the six men inside, then raped the women. A seventh Mexican woman was unharmed. “We are really sorry about what happened with the Spanish tourists because ... it is something that affects Mexico’s image,” said Juan Carlos Gonzalez, tourism sec-

public-employee pension deficit, but the squeeze it puts on other government spending was an undercurrent throughout the governor’s fifth State of the State address. Quinn pointedly named Senate President John Cullerton’s latest legislation that includes a fallback plan if the first is declared unconstitutional as “the best vehicle to get the job done.” “Do we want, in the years to come, a prosperous Illinois where working people continue to have good jobs, where businesses thrive, and where all our children have a worldclass education?” Quinn asked. “Or do we want to stop the progress and watch our economic recovery stall?” Elevated to the job after his former running mate, Gov. Rod Blagojevich, was impeached and removed from office in 2009 and elected to a full term the next year, Quinn will face not only stiff Republican competition but a possible primary challenge from one or more high-profile Democrats next spring. GOP lawmakers were keenly aware of the upcoming political season. “Clearly it was a campaign speech for him,” said Bloomington Sen. Bill Brady, the 2010 GOP nominee who nearly unseated Quinn and is considering another run next year. “He hit some of the right sound bites, but he didn’t address some of the issues that are at the forefront.” Quinn noted the ban on what he called “conflict of interest voting” is an idea he first broached nearly 40 years ago, when more than 600,000 voters signed a petition supporting it. It’s something more than half the states already have adopted. Quinn

argued that the courts and executive branch are “regulated all over” but that a new law should be approved governing the ethical conduct of legislators. “With this reform, we can keep moving toward a state government that always puts the people first, and a government that tackles the tough issues, no matter how hard,” Quinn said. Rikeesha Phelon, a spokeswoman for Senate President John Cullerton, questioned whether the plan would be redundant. State ethics law addresses conflicts but makes recusal from potentially troublesome votes voluntary. Past efforts have failed, including a proposal last year by Sen. Kirk Dillard of Hinsdale, another Republican preparing a gubernatorial run, said David Morrison of the Illinois Campaign for Political Reform. Such a law could bar a lawmaker working in the insurance industry from lending her wisdom to insurance legislation, he said. And recusal would mean a lawmaker’s constituents might lose a vote on crucial matters. “It’s a thorny issue,” Morrison said. “It’s a topic that needs to be looked at, but it’s got to be looked at carefully.” U.S. Rep. Aaron Shock, a Republican from Peoria viewed as a potential gubernatorial candidate, issued a statement arguing Quinn’s speech lacked “leadership and boldness” necessary to fix the state’s problem. Schock learned Wednesday the U.S. House Ethics Committee plans to investigate his campaign fundraising. Intra-party challenges to Quinn could come from Democrats Lisa Madigan, the popular state attorney general, and Bill Daley, the former Chicago mayor’s brother and former White House chief of staff.

Support groups meant to bridge gap in services • SUPPORT

Continued from page A1 what direction we should be going.” The center has facilitated free support groups, but it wasn’t until late last year that the need for support for grieving caregivers became apparent. “We realized some of these caregivers really have lost their spouse or partner, and are really in a grieving process,” Larson said. The new support groups

continue the strategy Louise used to expand Family Alliance over a period of 30 years – identify a gap in community service, then bridge it. Today, the center employs about 50 people and serves adults who are experiencing mental, physical, emotional or social challenges. “The clinical staff here has been meeting on a weekly basis,” O’Dea said. “Right now, our focus is on identifying services that we don’t offer, what the needs are in the community and how we can provide services to meet those needs.”

1,000 travel agency owners, managers and agents, “not a single individual chose Acapulco as a top international destination they are booking for their clients,” Gerhardt said. “We do not see any spillover effect,” she added, for areas such as Cancun, which Travel Leaders lists as the

more, said Kathy Gerhardt, a spokeswoman for Travel Leaders, a network of independently owned and operated travel agencies in the U.S. “Those individuals trying to lump Acapulco into the list of top Mexico destinations for U.S. travelers are simply misinformed,” she said. In a recent survey of over

No. 2 foreign destination for U.S. travelers, after Caribbean island cruises. From a 2009 shootout that killed 18 near Acapulco’s fabled Flamingo Hotel to this week’s attack, the resort once celebrated in Frank Sinatra songs and Elvis Presley movies has been the scene of body dumpings, beheadings and taxi-driver killings as gangs vie for drug transport routes once controlled by the nowdecimated Beltran Leyva cartel. Oceania and Regent Seven Seas Cruises – some of the last lines making port calls in Acapulco – canceled those in December, before the latest attack. An estimated 50,000 Spaniards travel to Mexico each year, but mostly to the Caribbean coast, not Acapulco. Mexicans and Spaniards living in Mexico, however, flock to Acapulco during Easter week and other long holiday weekends, such as Monday, when the country celebrated its Constitution Day. Local tourists believe they can distinguish unsafe areas of the city, and even foreign travel warnings say it’s safe for those who don’t wander far from the beach.

Local lawmakers say Quinn glossed over top state issue • ADDRESS

Highlights from State of the State

Continued from page A1 task ahead of us. This is no small issue. And doing what’s hard isn’t always what’s popular at the moment. But we must remember that hard is not impossible,” Quinn said. Illinois’ credit rating, now the worst of all 50 states, has in recent months been downgraded by two of the three major rating agencies and put on a negative outlook by the third. All three have cited legislative inaction on the pension crisis as the reason. Democratic Rep. Jack Franks called the address a waste of time that should have been folded into the budget address that Quinn will give lawmakers in about three weeks. “I was hoping that he would say, ‘Ladies and gentlemen, the state of the state is in peril, and needs to be fixed ... We have to fix this and that’s all we should be focusing on – fixing the pensions and balancing our budget. Nothing else matters. Nothing else matters, because if we don’t fix this, nothing’s left,” Franks said. Sen. Pamela Althoff, RMcHenry, said this year’s address had “much of the same rhetoric that it does each year,” without an action plan that the state desperately needs. “I’m disappointed in the direction the state has taken over the last decade, disappointed in the lack of leadership that should be coming from the governor’s office, and I’m disappointed at how those two things combined have severely hurt our businesses and citizens,” Althoff said. Quinn spent more time on issues such as green energy, infrastructure, adding manufacturing jobs and clean water. He pushed lawmakers to approve gay marriage, raise the minimum wage to $10 an hour and ban semiautomatic assault-style weapons and high-capacity magazines. While Rep. Barbara Wheeler, R-Crystal Lake, said she was pleased that Quinn “sees the reality of our broken fis-

Gov. Pat Quinn gave his annual State of the State address Wednesday in Springfield. Here is a list of highlights: • Proposes raising Illinois’ minimum wage from $8.25 to $10 an hour. • Urges lawmakers to solve state’s nearly $100 billion, worst-inthe-nation pension problem. Puts his support behind Senate Bill 1, a hybrid of previous bills. • Proposes that Illinois lawmakers recuse themselves from taking a vote or other official action if there’s a conflict of interest. • Signs executive order designed to help military veterans get jobs. The order calls for state agencies to streamline the process for veterans applying for job licenses. • Reiterates call for assault weapons ban in Illinois and a ban on high-capacity ammunition magazines. • Says it’s time for Illinois to allow gay marriage. A Senate committee has approved legislation allowing same-sex marriage. Backers of the measure say a Senate vote could come as early as next Thursday, which is Valentine’s Day. • Wants online voter registration and open primary elections where voters don’t have to declare a party affiliation. • Proposes the Illinois Manufacturing Lab in Chicago to allow companies to learn and use new tools and software.

cal house,” she was not at all pleased with the call to raise the minimum wage – now $8.25 an hour – by more than 20 percent. She pointed out that just two years ago Democratic lawmakers raised the income tax on individuals and businesses. “We are in a stagnant economy and leaders are proposing increasing the state’s minimum wage to $10 an hour. How are employers and small businesses supposed to pay for this?” Wheeler said. The 2011 tax increase – 67 percent on individuals and 46 percent on businesses – was meant to help state government pay down its backlog of bills. But almost all of the increased revenue has been swallowed by the state’s ballooning public pension obligations. The state now owes more in unpaid bills than it did at the time of the tax increase. Quinn put his most substantial talk on pensions near the end of his address, urging lawmakers to get behind a reform bill submitted by Senate President John Cullerton, DChicago. Cullerton’s bill, Senate Bill 1, comes in two parts. The first part caps pensionable salary, suspends and reduces annual cost-of-living increases and

requires increased contributions from public employees. The second part, to be used if any of the first part is deemed unconstitutional, requires public employees to either reduce and delay their eligibility for cost-of-living increases or forgo certain health care benefits and future increases in pensionable income. Sen. Dan Duffy, R-Lake Barrington, said that Quinn and the Democratic Party, which has veto-proof majorities in both houses, have no excuse not to immediately enact pension reform. He pointed out that the first bill making its way through the newly sworn General Assembly is a spending bill to appropriate $2 billion more for infrastructure and mental health and child welfare services. “[Quinn] said that he was put on this Earth to fix the pensions. He now has one of the largest majorities in Illinois history. The Democrats have supermajorities in both houses and can pass legislation without a single Republican vote. They have absolutely no excuse not to pass comprehensive pension reform immediately. If it doesn’t happen, it means that they don’t want it to happen,” Duffy said.

Congress to get info on drones The ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama has directed the Justice Department to give Congress’ intelligence committees access to classified legal advice providing the government’s rationale for drone strikes against American citizens working with alQaida abroad, a senior administration official and Democratic lawmakers said Wednesday. A drumbeat of demands to see the document has swelled on Capitol Hill in recent days as the Senate Intelligence Committee prepares to hold a confirmation hearing for John Brennan, who helped manage the drone program, to be CIA director. Those demands were only intensified by the leak this week of an unclassified “white paper” on how decisions are made to target U.S. citizens abroad that the Justice Department confidentially sent to key lawmakers last year. The unclassified memo says it is legal for the government to kill U.S. citizens abroad if it believes they are senior al-Qaida leaders continually engaged in operations aimed at killing Americans, even if there is no evidence of a specific imminent attack.

8BRIEFS Rubio to deliver State of Union GOP response WASHINGTON – Florida Sen. Marco Rubio will give the Republican rebuttal to President Barack Obama’s State of the Union address Tuesday, providing a direct message to a growing Hispanic electorate that shunned the GOP in last year’s election. House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, and Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., announced the selection Wednesday, calling Rubio a strong advocate of conservative principles. Rubio will speak after Obama’s prime-time address before Congress, offering a counterweight to the president’s agenda. The high-profile speech gives Rubio a broad national audience for a party that lacks a true standard-bearer after Obama’s re-election.

6 dead, homes ruined in Solomons tsunami SYDNEY – Six bodies, including a child’s, have been found in the sodden wreckage left by a tsunami that smashed into villages in the Solomon Islands, flattening dozens of homes in the South Pacific island chain. The 4-foot, 11-inch waves that roared inland on Santa Cruz Island, in the eastern Solomons, on Wednesday were too fast to outrun for five elderly villagers and one child, who died after being sucked under the water, George Herming, a spokesman for the prime minister, said early today. Several other people were still missing, and strong aftershocks were keeping villagers from returning to the coast, Herming said.

SNOWMOBILER CITED FOR DUI

WONDER LAKE - A 29-year-old man was under the influence of alcohol when he crashed his snowmobile early Wednesday in Wonder Lake, the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office said. Adam L. Treasure was cited for operating a snowmobile under the influence of alcohol. He was flown to Advocate Condell Medical Center in Libertyville with injuries that were not life threatening, authorities said. About 2:15 a.m., another snowmobiler found Treasure on the ground near a trail in the 6800 block of McCullom Lake Road, according to a news release. The passer-by took Treasure by snowmobile to Wonder Lake Fire Station No. 1 for help, and Flight for Life was called. Treasure was heading east when his snowmobile, for unknown reasons, left the trail and he was thrown from the machine, authorities said.

Supervisor, foes lay blame for legal battles, dysfunction By STEPHEN Di BENEDETTO sdibenedetto@shawmedia.com

UNTLEY – The challengers vying for Grafton Township supervisor roundly pinned controversial legal battles and dysfunction in the township on incumbent Linda Moore during an election forum Wednesday night in Sun City. On the defensive early, Moore argued that she has spent a marginal amount of taxpayer dollars on lawsuits “defending the township” against Grafton trustees, who she said have refused to set aside personal disagreements over policy decisions during her four-year term. Moore tried to assure scores of Sun City voters watching the forum in Drendel Hall that the legal battles with the trustees would end as soon as they are out of office. “There is no way to stop their spending with the lawyers as long as they remain in office,” Moore said. “Thankfully, three trustees will not be running for office again.” Trustee Betty Zirk is the only incumbent seeking re-election in April. Moore squared off with her two Republican primary challengers and the Democratic opponent in the April 9 general election for the first time Wednesday. The Sun City Civics Committee organized the forum that featured a variety of questions from residents in the retirement community. Numerous times the Grafton Township supervisor said she spent a mere $60,000 in legal costs while trustees have spent $470,000 in court trying to remove her from office. At one point, primary challenger Pam Fender shook her head after

Fender, a longtime Huntley village trustee, wasted no time in criticizing Moore. She called out the supervisor during her opening remarks for neglecting township services such as the senior bus system and rattled off her experience as a two-term village trustee, community organizer and leader. Later, Fender tried to counter Moore’s assertion that dysfunction in the township was all the trustees’ fault. She recalled how current Trustee Jerry McMahon distanced himself from Moore after campaigning with her in 2009. “It didn’t take very long for Jerry McMahon to figure out he had been duped,” Fender said. “Let’s put these last four years behind us, and the law-

suits on day one. Let’s just learn to get along.” Primary challenger Marty Waitzman and independent candidate Jim Kearns also weren’t shy about the lack of leadership in the township. Both said they decided to run for supervisor because they were tired of endless legal costs and childish behavior between Moore and the trustees. Waitzman, an attorney who has accounting experience, criticized Moore’s managerial skills when answering a question about the level of commitment needed to run a township. Waitzman said that based on accounting reports he has seen, Moore could be spending less time trying to

CRYSTAL LAKE – City Council members were quick to reject a proposal to open a downtown street to two-way traffic. The City Council was unanimous Tuesday in keeping Grant Street one-way in the block between Woodstock and Brink streets. “I don’t like the idea,” Mayor Aaron Shepley said of changing the traffic flow. “I don’t think this was the staff’s idea. It was the idea of local At a glance businesses, and I respect The idea was to their idea, increase traffic in but I think front of busiit would be nesses on the a disaster. block between ... I think it Woodstock and would be a Brink streets. bad change.” The idea was to increase traffic in front of businesses on the block and add parking spaces downtown. Furthermore, it would have made it easier to create an onstreet bike route connecting the Prairie Trail along Main Street to the new bike path on Walkup Road. The organization Downtown Crystal Lake and city’s Economic Development Committee expressed interest in a two-way street, city officials said. City staff recommended consideration of the idea and the city’s Traffic Safety Committee supported a change. Two-way traffic would not create traffic conflicts, would give drivers another option to reach Main Street and would decrease traffic on Woodstock and Williams streets, according to city documents.

McHenry uninterested Woodstock man accepts plea deal in fatal drug deal in subdivision’s center Victim fell off a car trying to stop theft of marijuana in May By SARAH SUTSCHEK ssutschek@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – A third person has accepted a plea deal in the theft of about one-eighth an ounce of marijuana that was at the center of a Woodstock man’s death. William B. Howell, 23, of Woodstock, pleaded guilty to theft under $500, a Class A misdemeanor, and was sentenced to one year of conditional discharge. The plea was accepted Wednesday by McHenry County Judge Gordon Graham. Howell also was sentenced to 120 days in jail and given credit for 10 days served. The remainder of the jail time was stayed, meaning he will not have to serve it if he successfully completes the terms of his

conditional discharge. Those terms include breaking no laws, completing a drug abuse evaluation, following all recommendations and submitting to six random drug tests. According to police, Howell was part of a group of people who went to the home of 26-year-old Joseph Woodell on Lawndale Avenue in Woodstock in May 2012. John C. Kurchina, 23, arranged to buy drugs from Woodell, but left without paying for one-eighth an ounce of marijuana, police said. Kurchina jumped into the passenger seat of a waiting car driven by Hanna M. Schacht, 22, with Howell also inside. Howell had provided the phone used to set up the drug deal. Trying to stop the theft, Woodell jumped on the car and was thrown onto the street, hitting his head on the pavement. He died several days later. Last month, both Schacht and Kurchina pleaded guilty to misdemeanor theft, charges similar to Howell’s.

Whispering Oaks area for sale for more than 1 year

At a glance

Any decision to sell or transfer the property rests with a vote of the Whispering Oaks subdivision’s 343 homeowners.

By JANE HUH jhuh@shawmedia.com McHENRY – The City Council took a brief tour of a threeacre property in the Whispering Oaks subdivision at the start of its meeting Monday night and decided it has no interest in buying it. “We’re not going to do anything with this,” City Administrator Derik Morefield said. The Whispering Oaks community center has been for sale for more than a year and the homeowners association approached the city as a possible buyer for municipal programs. The council reconvened at

the municipal building and made its decision after a closeddoor discussion. Officials did not reveal the asking price for the property. The center at 4513 Front Royal Drive is a two-story building on “a beautiful threeacre wooded lot in the middle of a residential community,” said Bob Bergland, president of Northwest Property and Financial Management Corp., the property manager for the association. Ultimately, any decision to sell or transfer the property rests with a vote of the subdivision’s 343 homeowners, Bergland said.

McHENRY: MONTHLY EVENT

MCC alerts GED students: Coffee with police chief set Test computerized Jan. 1 NORTHWEST HERALD

NORTHWEST HERALD

CRYSTAL LAKE – McHenry County College is using classroom computers to teach General Equivalency Development students and prepare them for a new, computerized version of the GED test that goes into effect Jan. 1. The test will replace the current paper-and-pencil version of the GED test, which expires at the end of 2013. Besides a new format, the test will include a longer writing time – 90 minutes instead of 45 – and will cost students $120 instead of the current $50. To better prepare current GED students who are used to

taking paper-and-pencil tests, the college added a computer lab to the GED program last summer, MCC’s Dean of Adult Education Rick Clute said in a news release. “We’re getting our GED students used to computers because they didn’t have that access before,” Clute said. “We’re finding out a lot of our students have access to a computer or smartphone, but they are not used to taking a test on the computer.” The current test contains five parts that can be taken separately, but must all be passed to receive a high school credential. With the new test version less than a year away, Clute

said his office is alerting students who are enrolled or planning to enroll in GED classes this year to finish the existing test by October. On average, 300 students enroll in GED classes each year at McHenry County College. For this spring’s semester, 188 are enrolled. The enrollment includes a growing number of Spanish-speaking students. At MCC, Spanishspeaking GED enrollment at has grown from 92 in the 2008 school year to 138 this spring semester, so far. The GED Testing Service is part of the Office of Vocational and Adult Education, which is part of the U.S. Department of Education.

Continued from page B1 Howell also has a pending domestic battery case. His criminal record includes convictions for aggravated battery and possession of a stolen vehicle. Assistant State’s Attorney Michael Combs, who is chief of the Criminal Division, said Howell was a participant in the plan to go to Woodell’s house. “I thought, given that the

offenders stole a Class A [misdemeanor] amount of marijuana, that it was not appropriate that they should be convicted felons,” Combs said. Woodell’s fall to the pavement also was an accident and he contributed to his death by jumping on the car, Combs said. Outside of court, Woodell’s family said they disagreed with him selling marijuana, but that he didn’t deserve to die because of it. They said they wanted harsher punishments for the people involved.

I don’t have that problem.” All four supervisor candi-

dates spent nearly 90 minutes answering questions about the Grafton dysfunction, township services and ideas for new programs. Sun City resident and moderator Dave Rosenfeldt at one point had to remind the candidates to keep their answers concise. He even entered the debate when he prevented Moore from answering a Sun City resident. The resident wanted clarification on what she called Moore’s “scare tactics”

in trying to lower a boardapproved property tax levy that the resident considered appropriate. “If you want to attack any one of [the candidates] personally, get their number and call them up,” Rosenfeldt said. “We want to go forward in this township and not backward.” Moore will face Fender and Waitzman in the Feb. 26 Republican primary. The winner will face Kearns in the April 9 election.

“I’m disappointed because they didn’t treat it like this person that I dearly loved had value,” said Woodell’s mother, Sarah Woodell. “It’s so, so wrong to be not held accountable.” What Schacht, Kurchina and Howell did was wrong and cost her son his life, she said. “It could have been anybody’s child, brother, sister that she left laying on the street, bleeding,” Woodell said of Schacht, who drove the getaway from which Woodell was thrown.

LITH’s Kelley adds X Games gold to résumé By JEFF ARNOLD

“You can never stop being creative.”

jarnold@shawmedia.com

Kyle Kelley will look at an average railing that runs along a set of stairs and see nothing but possibilities. He envisions tricks like the Cab 270 frontboard tail grab that earned the 18-year-old Lake In The Hills resident a gold medal for the top trick in a team competition in late January’s Winter X Games in Aspen, Colo. For Kelley, an accomplishment he describes as “not super crazy, but

Kyle Kelley Snowboarder from Lake in the Hills

along the lines of a big deal” is the latest step toward what the former Huntley High School student hopes leads to a professional snowboarding career.

Retaliation? Torres isn’t worth effort

Raffi Torres is dirtier than a gardener’s fingernails. Raffi Torres is uglier than an oil spill. Raffi Torres is slimier than spoiled meat. There. I feel better. Maybe the Blackhawks should try this exercise before today’s game against the Phoenix Coyotes. Quick, someone give Dave Bolland a pen and a piece of paper. When the puck Raffi Torres drops at Phoenix’s Jobing.com Arena, the Hawks will be tempted to drop Torres. Although it’s much easier said than done, they’ll have to resist those temptations. Now is not the time for the league’s best team to succumb to distractions. Keep your composure. Keep looking forward. Most importantly, keep winning. It’s hard to believe, but almost 10 months have passed since the last time the Hawks faced the most pathetic player in the NHL. The Hawks were hosting the Coyotes in Game 3 of the Western Conference quarterfinals April 17 when Torres skated away from the puck, leaped off of the ice and drove his left shoulder into the side of Marian Hossa’s head with a devastating and illegal hit. A hush fell over the United Center as a half-dozen emergency medical personnel huddled near Hossa. The star forward remained motionless as he was strapped to a backboard and wheeled off the ice on a stretcher. One strap covered the top of his helmet. Two straps covered the Hawks’ logo on his red sweater. Two straps covered his black shorts. Hossa was loaded into an ambulance and rushed to a nearby hospital. The hit had knocked him out cold, but he was released from the hospital later in the evening to begin a long recovery from a concussion. If the hit had occurred outside the building, Torres probably would have ended up in a holding cell at 26th and California. But it happened on the ice, and Torres predictably fell to his knees and turtled when Hawks enforcer Brandon Bollig went after him at the opposite end of the rink. After all, Torres is not one to engage in a fair fight. He prefers to take cheap shots and skate away. The NHL’s penalty was harsh for the journeyman goon, who qualified as a repeat offender under the league’s collective bargaining agreement. Torres was suspended for 25 games including the playoffs – later, his penalty was reduced to 21 games overall – and he did not return to the ice until Saturday.

See MuSICK, page C4

Kelley found acclaim at previous X Games, when he finished second and third, and at last year’s Snowboard National Championships, where he finished second in the Rail Jam event and 10th in the half pipe. “You can never stop being creative and once you throw that into a contest perspective, it makes it that much better because you’re not doing what everyone else is doing,” Kelley said in a phone interview Wednesday from Colorado. “You’re

doing something that no one else did. It’s that creative aspect in my mind that deserves higher respect than the moves everyone else is doing.” Much of Kelley’s inspiration for tricks comes from watching snowboarding videos. He’ll see what other rail riders are doing and combine that with his skill set, resulting in tricks Photo provided like his gold medal performance in Aspen, when he pulled off the feat the Lake in the Hills’ Kyle Kelley bites the winter X games gold medal he earned first time he ever attempted it.

HuNTLEY 59, CRYSTAL LAKE SOuTH 53

Huntley can taste title Red Raiders close in on Valley 3-peat By JOE STEVENSON joestevenson@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – Huntley’s overall defensive performance fell short of its usual standards, but in the final minute the Red Raiders delivered a couple of gems. First, forward Zach Gorney stepped in front of Crystal Lake South guard Nick Geske to draw a charge. About 30 seconds later, forward Amanze Egekeze came up with his fourth blocked shot of the second half. Those two stops, combined with solid free-throw shooting, helped Huntley defeat South, 59-53, in their Fox Valley Conference Valley Division boys basketball game Wednesday night at Gator Alley. The Raiders (15-6 overall, 9-0 FVC Valley) have won 29 consecutive division games and can wrap up their third straight Valley title Saturday at Dundee-Crown. “This was one of our worst defensive games,” Raiders coach Marty Manning said. “Part of that was Crystal Lake South running good offense. We didn’t guard people very well before they got the ball. In the second half, Amanze got some blocked shots and when

Huntley high jumper Omo Tseumah (above) signed wednesday with Marquette, where former Huntley athlete Haley Loprieno is a sophomore.

Perhaps Marquette sophomore distance runner Haley Loprieno someday will have a future as a track and field coach. She certainly can recruit. Loprieno, a 2011 Huntley graduate, urged Red Raiders senior Omo Tseumah to check out the Milwaukee school. Once she did, Tseumah loved it. She gave head coach Bert Rogers her commitment in December and signed with the Golden Eagles on Wednesday, the first day of the signing period for football, soccer, cross country and track and field.

PREP ZONE Joe Stevenson “Haley really helped me. She convinced me to look into it,” said Tseumah, the Class 3A state high jump runner-up. “It’s a great opportunity. All the hard work I’ve done is paying off.”

NCAA FOOTBALL RECRUITING

Bears to raise most ticket prices for next season

NATIONAL ROUNDUP

Ole Miss joins power programs By RALPH D. RUSSO The Associated Press

Alabama. Ohio State. Michigan. Florida. Notre Dame. Mississippi? Ole Miss muscled in on the powerhouses that usually dominate national signing day, landing some of the most sought-after prospects in the country on college football’s annual firstWednesdayin-February frenzy. The Rebels, coming off a promising 7-6 season in their first season Robert under coach Nkemdiche Hugh Freeze, had the experts swooning by signing three of the bluest chips still on the board and building a well-rounded class otherwise. The day started with defensive end Robert Nkemdiche from Loganville, Ga., rated the No. 1 recruit in the country by just about everyone who ranks them, deciding to join his brother, Denzel, in Oxford, Miss. “I feel like it’s the right place for me,” Nkemdiche said after slipping on a red Ole Miss cap. “I feel like they can do special things and they’re on the rise. I feel like going to play with my brother, we can do something special.” Nkemdiche originally committed to Clemson last year, then backed off that and narrowed his picks down to LSU, Florida and Mississippi – and the Rebels beat the big boys. They weren’t done. Coaches in the Ole Miss war room were exchanging hugs and high-fives again a couple of hours later when Laremy Tunsil, a top-rated offensive tackle from Lake City, Fla., picked the Rebels over Florida State and Georgia. “Tunsil to Ole Miss I think was the biggest surprise of the whole [recruiting season],” said JC Shurburtt, national recruiting director for 247Sports.com. And, as if the Ole Miss needed more good news, highly touted defensive back Antonio Conner from nearby Batesville, Miss., chose the Rebels over national champion Alabama. While the Rebels racked up, it’s important to remember they still have plenty of ground to gain on the rest of their conference competition. Nick Saban reloaded the Crimson Tide with a class that Rivals.com ranked No. 1 in the country. SEC powers Florida, LSU and Georgia pulled in typically impressive classes.

SEC newcomer Texas A&M cracked the top 10 of several rankings. Even Vanderbilt, coming off a nine-win season, broke into the top 25. It’s the cycle of life in the SEC, which has won seven straight BCS championships. Stock up on signing day and scoop up those crystal footballs at season’s end.

THE BIG TWO Ohio State and Michigan received two thumbs up from experts on their signing day classes. They all had the Buckeyes and Wolverines around top five in the country. After that, there was a drop off. Nebraska received solid grades and Penn State, despite NCAA sanctions that limited its class to 17 signees, held up pretty well. “That’s a tribute to the job (Penn State coach) Bill O’Brien and the staff did,” Shurburtt said. But signing day 2013 signaled that Urban Meyer’s Buckeyes and Brady Hokes’ Wolverines are primed to pull away from most of the Big Ten, and maybe – just maybe – give the league a team or two that can challenge those SEC teams for a national title.

SLIPPING AWAY FROM USC Signing day didn’t do much to soothe the scars left from a difficult season for Southern California. NCAA sanctions limited the number of scholarships coach Lane Kiffin and the Trojans could hand out this year, and then as signing day approached USC had several players who had given verbal commitments change their minds. The most notable defection on signing day was five-star defensive back Jalen Ramsey of Brentwood, Tenn., who flipped to Florida State. Defensive end Jason Hatcher from Louisville, Ky., bailed on USC and signed with Kentucky, and defensive end Torrodney Prevot from Houston not only reneged on his USC commitment, but he landed at Pac-12 rival Oregon. “People expected [Prevot] to flip from USC, but they thought it would be to Texas A&M,” Shurburtt said. USC’s class won’t be lacking blue chippers. Quarterback Max Browne from Washington is considered the next in a long line of topflight Trojans quarterbacks, and Kenny Bigelow from Maryland is rated among the best defensive linemen in the nation. Kiffin will be banking on quality to make up for the lack of quantity, but that’s a precarious way to play a game as uncertain as recruiting.

NORTHWESTERN

Maine South QB Alviti tops Wildcats’ recruits The ASSOCIATED PRESS

EVANSTON – Northwestern added a pair of highly ranked players to its offense Wednesday as part of its 2013 recruiting class. Both the Rivals.com and Scout.com recruiting services give quarterback Matt Alviti of Maine South four stars. And Scout.com considers running back Godwin Igwebuike from Pickerington North in Pickerington, Ohio, a four-star recruit, too. “We as a staff are confident we’ve signed a group of young men who are tremendous fits for our program athletically, academically and socially,” coach Pat Fitzgerald said. “These 21 individuals are joining a program with a lot of momentum and I look forward to the contributions they’ll make toward helping us achieve our goals in years to come.” Northwestern finished last season 10-3 (including 5-3 in the Big Ten, third in the

six-team Legends Division). The Wildcats beat Mississippi State, 34-20, in the Gator Bowl. Rivals.com considers Northwestern’s class the ninth best in the 12-member Big Ten and 52nd in the country. Scout.com ranks the Wildcats’ class eighth in the Big Ten and No. 45 in the country. Ohio State is considered No. 1 in the conference by both recruiting services. Alviti is a dual-threat quarterback who had 9,750 passing yards in high school and 2,040 rushing yards. The 6-foot, 185-pounder threw for 85 touchdowns and ran for 43. Northwestern returns last season’s starting quarterback, senior Kain Colter, who was an honorable mention All-Big Ten player as a junior. Igwebuike has 1,985 rushing yards as a high school senior and 29 touchdowns. The 6-foot, 190-pound back was also a talented safety.

Northern Illinois football coach Rod Carey talks to a TV station after the news conference introducing the 2013 recruiting class Wednesday in DeKalb.

NORTHERN ILLINOIS

Orange Bowl boost Carey says high-profile trip attracted recruits By STEVE NITZ snitz@shawmedia.com DeKALB – Northern Illinois learned it was in the Orange Bowl the night of Sunday, Dec. 2. It didn’t take too long for Huskies coach Rod Carey, who was named to the position earlier that day, to feel the effect NIU’s season had on recruiting. Carey introduced his recruiting class of 2013 on Wednesday afternoon at the Yordon Center and said he felt the positive effects the Orange Bowl had on recruiting right away. “When did we find out we were in the Orange Bowl, was that Sunday night? Monday morning,” Carey said. Many Huskies signees, such as Streamwood receiver Blake Holder, Prairie Ridge safety Sean Folliard, Miami-area linebacker Robert Jones and the Aurora Christian trio of Chad Beebe, Joel Bouagnon and Brandon Mayes were committed long before the NIU logo showed up next to the Orange Bowl’s on ESPN’s BCS Selection Show. It doesn’t mean the Huskies’ staff wasn’t able to land some late commits. Players such as Mobile, Ala., running back Jordan Huff, Ohio running back Aregeros Turner, Indianapolis defensive lineman William Lee and Georgia receiver Malik Mitchell committed in January or early February.

Some of the late interest was because of the changes on the coaching staff. New NIU running backs coach Roy Manning recruited Turner when Manning was on staff at Cincinnati. Turner originally committed to the Bearcats, but backed out when Butch Jones took the Tennessee job. Carey said Turner wouldn’t be part of this class if not for Manning. Mitchell was recruited by new NIU receivers coach Thad Ward when Ward was at Western Michigan. Carey said the coaching change affected recruiting in a positive way. Of course, the Huskies’ historic season made a big impact, as well. “How recruiting goes, there’s always a lot of late movement, and that late movement provided us to get some guys that I don’t know ... if we would have gotten them or wouldn’t of without the Orange Bowl,” Carey said. “But we were in the Orange Bowl, and we did get them.” Montini guard Tate Briggs, listed at 6-foot-4, 297 pounds, had scholarship offers from other schools, but instead chose to attend NIU as a preferred walk-on. Briggs said he loved the facilities at NIU, and said the Huskies’ Orange Bowl appearance was definitely a plus. Briggs even went to Florida to watch the game. “Even though they got beat, they still put up a fight and they never backed down at all, so I liked that,” he said.

NOTRE DAME

Kelly agrees: Class is his best By TOM COYNE The Associated Press SOUTH BEND, Ind. – Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly wasn’t about to quibble with recruiting experts who called the recruiting class he signed Wednesday his best. “I love agreeing with experts,” he joked. Most recruiting services had the Irish ranked in the top five in the country. Kelly said the 23 players signed by the Irish show that Notre Dame has returned to elite status this past season, being ranked No. 1 for the first time in nearly 19 years and playing against Alabama in the BCS title game, which the Irish lost 42-14. “It’s a recruiting class that when you’re looking at it from my perspective, it meets the time and place as to where we are right now. We’re a team that has gone from unranked to top 10 ranking, top five ranking, at times we’re

Running back Greg Bryant of Delray Beach, Fla., was an example of that. Bryant, who rushed for 1,447 yards and 17 touchdowns on 186 carries last season, had committed to Oklahoma and the Irish hadn’t contacted him since May. But

after Bryant decommitted from Oklahoma and the Irish were off to an 11-0 start and ranked No. 1, recruiting coordinator Tony Alford decided to give him a call just before Thanksgiving and quickly found there was interest. “The season, 11-0, we were first in the country, that certainly had an impact with him as far as piquing his interest,” said Alford, who also is the running backs coach. Among the other highly touted players in the class are linebacker Jaylon Smith of Fort Wayne, running back Tarean Folston, who rushed for 1,186 yards and 13 touchdowns for Cocoa (Fla.) High School, and safety Max Redfield of Mission Viejo, Calif. The Irish were still waiting to hear from defensive lineman Eddie Vanderdoes. Smith won the Butkus Award as the nation’s top high school linebacker, the same award Manti Te’o won four years ago.

ILLINOIS

Recruits told they might play right away By DAVID MERCER The Associated Press CHAMPAIGN – Illinois added the player it hopes is its quarterback of the future Wednesday and made clear to the other members of its recruiting class that they could play right away after a twowin season. The Illini signed a recruiting class of 20 players on national signing day, five of whom have already enrolled. First-year coach Tim Beckman announced earlier that he’s also signed five junior college transfers to fill immediate needs. Recruiting service Rivals. com ranked Illinois’ class 46th in the country and seventh in

the Big Ten. Scout.com puts the Illini’s 2013 class 40th in the country and fifth in the 12team conference. The signings include Aaron Bailey, a 6-2, 220-pound quarterback from Bolingbrook, whose signing Beckman said was important for a team coming off a 2-10 season (0-8 Big Ten). Both Scout and Rivals call Bailey a four-star recruit. “Huge, huge,” Beckman said, adding that he should be a good fit for new offensive coordinator Bill Cubit’s versatile, pass-oriented offense. “I think that Aaron’s commitment to us shows that he sees a future here,” Beckman added. Nathan Scheelhaase, who will be a senior this fall, is the

incumbent starter, but Beckman said it’s possible for any of his top three quarterbacks – Scheelhaase, backup Reilly O’Toole or Bailey – to play this fall. Scheelhaase was limited by injury last fall and had a rough season, throwing for 1,361 yards and four touchdowns, along with eight interceptions. Beckman said that’s true for just about any of the 25 new players expected to be on the roster this fall. “We didn’t win very many football games, but we were still able to get one of the top recruiting classes ... the top half of the country, by telling these students athletes that they were going to get an opportunity,” he said.

If you want to watch the Bears play at Soldier Field next season, prepare to open your wallet. The Bears announced Wednesday that most ticket prices will increase for the 2013 season. The average price increase is 4.2 percent for season-ticket holders, which includes price increases of $3 to $10 a ticket for 90 percent of the seating bowl as well as price increases of $15 to $30 a ticket for a selection of lowerlevel, mid-field seats. Some ticket prices in the Bears’ United Club will remain flat. After the price increases, nonclub tickets will range from $79 to $165 per game. Those tickets account for about 85 percent of seating at Soldier Field, according to the Bears. Meanwhile, United Club season tickets will range in price from $265 to $540 per game. – Tom Musick

Stern thinks HGH testing in NBA will come soon MINNEAPOLIS – Commissioner David Stern said he thinks the NBA is on track to begin testing its players for human growth hormone, perhaps as early as next season. Stern spoke Wednesday in Minneapolis in advance of the game between the Timberwolves and San Antonio Spurs. He said the league is watching developments in the NFL and Major League Baseball as those two leagues try to address testing for HGH. He said if both leagues get approval to test players, as he expects them to, the NBA will be right there behind them. Stern said, “It’s not a commitment, not a promise” to have it in place for next season. But he complimented the players on their willingness to address drug testing and said, “We’re well on our way.” Stern also said the group that reached agreement to purchase the Sacramento Kings formally filed to relocate the franchise to Seattle.

OLIVIA JAKUBICEK Cary-Grove, sr., forward Olivia Jakubicek played well while helping the Trojans win the Fox Valley Conference Valley Division title with a game-high 21 points, including five in overtime Saturday against Huntley. The 5-foot-10 senior finished with 19 points and eight rebounds in C-G’s 55-25 win Tuesday against Dundee-Crown.

Noteworthy C-G’s defense delivers: Five years ago, Cary-Grove assistant coach Andy Donaldson was presented with an opportunity he couldn’t pass up. Donaldson joined the Trojans’ varsity girls basketball staff and immediately was tasked to coach C-G’s defense. On the heels of the Trojans’ comeback win Saturday against Huntley, coach Rod Saffert credited Donaldson for the work on the defensive end. Defensively, the Trojans rely on a lockdown, hands-in-yourface defense while also utilizing traps and full court presses when needed. “Cary-Grove’s girls program, they’ve had a history of always be-

“From coach [Bruce] Kay to [Jim] Altendorf to Saffert and coach [Otto], they’ve always had a tough, man-to-man pressure defensive style. I bought into it. The girls have bought into it. They make it work when they buy into it. “I expect a lot of them – [Saffert] and I both do – and they always live up to those expectations.” Donaldson deflected any credit for C-G’s defensive performances to the players, but Saffert lauded Donaldson’s ability to get C-G to play defense consistently and intensely. Donaldson is also responsible for subbing players in and out of the game leaving Saffert to determine what to call offensively based on who’s on the floor. “He deserves a ton of credit,” Saffert said. “He’s young, energetic. It’s been a great combination, and I love the guy to death. “If you play defense, you’re never out of a game.” Tough week: Huntley didn’t receive any favors regarding Tuesday’s playoff opener. The Red Raiders, seeded third in the Belvidere North Regional despite a 21-5 record and second-place finish in the FVC Valley, play No. 2 DeKalb in the regional semifinal. DeKalb ended Huntley’s season last year in the regional final. Huntley won’t have a ton of time to prepare either. The Red

Tseumah cleared 5-foot-8 last season, but back spasms late in the season hindered her jumping at the IHSA Girls Track and Field State Meet. She made 5-6 and took second to Lyons Township’s Emma Hauger (5-7). Tseumah, who stands 6-0, attended some jumping camps over the summer. She plans on heading to Minnesota for a camp with Kangaroo Track Club coach Hugo Munoz in March, just before the high school season starts. “I feel really good,” Tseumah said. “I’ve been lifting. I feel really powerful. I have some big goals for myself this season.” Still teammates: Crystal Lake South’s Dennis Gardeck was an undersized linebacker as a junior and Zevin Clark was a part-time running back. Now, after both players had strong senior seasons, they will play at D-II West Virginia State. Gardeck and Clark signed their letters of intent Wednesday morning. They visited the school in Institute, W.Va., two weeks ago and were recruited by South graduate Nick Benedetto, who recently joined Yellow Jackets head coach Jon Anderson’s staff as co-defensive coordinator and recruiting coordinator. Frank Benedetto, Nick’s father, teaches physical education at South and suggested the contact his son about playing there. “I was pretty sure I was going to play my senior year and join the Marines,” said Gardeck, who is 6-foot, 200 pounds. “Even halfway through the season I thought that. Once colleges showed some interest I thought, ‘I need to go play football.’ I made sure I was in the weightroom every day and I just grew a little this year and put on the mass I needed.” Clark (5-11, 192) became a force for the Gators and finished ninth among area rushers. He said working with former Cary-Grove and Northern Illinois University player Alex Kube at Elite 7 in Barrington made the difference. “Alex trained me really hard,” Clark said. “I failed to get through his workouts a lot of times, but when the high school season came around, I was ready to go. I was more explosive and faster.” The school, founded in 1891 as West Virginia Colored Institute, is located about 8 miles from Charleston. “We went on a visit two

Poor start dooms Giants By ANDREW HANSEN anhansen@shawmedia.com HEBRON – Alden-Hebron girls basketball coach Jen Nichols saw her team’s opening round regional game ending differently. The Giants had split two games with Rockford Christian Life, the most recent being a 63-61 overtime win in the semifinals for A-H in the Northeastern Athletic Conference Tournament. A-H struggled early against the Royals, falling 55-32 in the Class 1A Alden-Hebron Regional semifinals. “I’ve seen our girls play them at their best, and I’ve seen them at their worst [against Christian Life],” A-H coach Jen Nichols said. “Our

fear was that they would come out and play at our worst and they definitely started that way.” The Royals full-court press forced the Giants (16-9) to turnovers and bad shots in the first quarter, holding A-H scoreless through one. The Giants finally got on the board 3:30 into the second quarter on a Brooklyn Hilton shot. “We expected the press. They put it on us twice,” Nichols said. “The girls just didn’t execute the plan like we hoped we would do. It’s just hard because the girls worked their butts off this week of practice to focus for this game and we just all saw things happening differently.” Hilton led the Giants with

11 points and Sparkle Lagerhausen added nine. Christian Life looked to establish the post early, looking to Abby Compton, who finished with 12 points. Nine came in the first half. Linzy Keller led the Royals with 16 points and Katie Hart added 11. Alden-Hebron finally found some offense in the final quarter, scoring 20 points while holding Christian Life to 10. After completing her first season as Giants head coach, Nichols said she wouldn’t trade the experience for anything. Nichols credited seniors Lagerhausen, Marissah Knoll, Jordan Pearson, and Brook Winkelman with making her a better coach.

The Skyhawks took that momentum into overtime, where they finished off Grayslake North, 72-67, for a Fox Valley Conference Fox Division home win. “We just turned up the pressure defensively, forced them into some tough shots and earned turnovers [in the fourth quarter],” Johnsburg coach Mike Toussaint said. “We’ve been blowing leads lately, and tonight we fought back.” Conroy, a senior, finished with 19 points on nine bas-

kets, and senior Marcus Huemann added 16 for the Skyhawks (11-12, 4-5). Jacobs 67, McHenry 46: At McHenry, Ryan Billings scored 15 points, and Patrick Nerja added 11 in the FVC Valley Division win that snapped a five-game skid for the Golden Eagles (12-12, 5-3). Korey Partenheimer led McHenry (9-13, 2-7) with 14 points.

Only, who will play baseball at Nebraska, scored 11 points and grabbed nine rebounds. Egekeze hit 7 of 8 free throws in the fourth quarter, Only was 3 of 4. “We can’t think too much [about the streak], we just have to focus on every game,” said Egekeze, a 6-foot-7 junior. “My goal is to not lose another [division] game. The streak is nice to have, you know every team is going to give you its

best shot.” South (7-13, 2-6) appeared to do that, even after falling behind by 12 in the first quarter. Behind forward Austin Rogers (23 points) and Geske (19), the Gators kept coming. Rogers scored 16 of his points in the second half and hit 12 of 13 from the line. “You have to like the fight we had,” Gators coach Matt LePage said. “It’s just getting over the hump when we’re with them. Their complementary players made some big shots. We just have to learn how to finish against good basketball teams.” Reserve guard Blake Jacobs hit a long jumper and a 3-pointer in the third quarter after South had come back to

tie the score. Huntley pushed the lead to 49-42 with 3:31 remaining in the fourth, but the Gators, who hit 9 of 10 free throws in that quarter, kept coming. Gorney took a charge on Geske with just less than a minute remaining, then hit a pair of free throws for a 57-50 lead. “I just tried to rotate to the help side, get in front and draw a charge,” Gorney said. “I was at the right place at the right time.” Geske hit a 3 after Gorney’s free throws, cutting the lead to 57-53.

Modern-day muskie record in the books

On Oct. 20, 1949, Louis Spray caught a 69-pound, 11ounce muskie on Wisconsin’s Chippewa Flowage. It was recognized by the National Freshwater Fishing Hall of Fame as the world record. Spray previously had caught two other world-record muskies. There has been all too much controversy and argument over the legitimacy of Spray’s fish for many years. That is why legendary muskie historian Larry Ramsell established the Modern Day Muskellunge World Record Program in 2006. The group is comprised of some of the world’s top muskellunge scientists, along with several muskie industry leaders, muskie anglers and outdoor media personalities. I am proud to say that I am one of the members. The MDMWRP has announced the acceptance of a recent muskellunge catch as its world record. The capture of a 58-pound muskie by Joe Seeberger of Portage, Mich., Oct. 13, 2012, from Lake Bellaire in Michigan has set a modern standard for the world’s muskie anglers. Bellaire is a tributary of Lake Michigan. The bar had been set at a 60-pound minimum for a fish to be considered for the modern-day record. After seven years of no fish meeting this requirement, the bar was lowered to 58 pounds when several committee members got together and recommended the consideration of the Seeberger fish, after the fact. The length of time that had passed with no fish entered into the program indicated the real rarity of the species attaining such size. The committee voted unanimously to slightly reduce the minimum weight requirement and begin the authentication process of the 58-pound Seeberger muskie. After a thorough three-month review to assure it met the stringent MDMWRP requirements for a record, it was again voted unanimously to accept this fish as the Modern Day Muskellunge World Record. The official weight and measurements of this grand fish are; 58 pounds, 58 inches and a girth of 29 inches. Full details and photos can be found at modernmuskierecords.org. •฀•฀• This will be the end of the Mulholland/red elk controversy in this column, I swear it. Here is the one letter I received backing my opinion: Ray Renner wrote, “I’d like to add my two-cents worth to the dialog about the shooting of two red deer here in Illinois. When I first read about the incident in the local newspaper, I laughed and thought to myself, ‘This is what happens when inexperienced people take to the field. Heck, this guy could have as easily shot some farmers cow or horse!’ But now I find out that the shooter is no inexperienced hunter. In fact, he is an experienced elk hunter – so there goes his defense that he ‘thought he was shooting an elk.’ “I also find it hard to believe that he didn’t know that a neighbor nearby was raising these type of animals. After all, the enclosures for deer and elk are much taller than what most farmers use for cows and horses. I guess he could

OUTDOORS Steve Sarley always say that he never saw any of those enclosures, but it’s also hard to believe that in the hunting community no one mentioned that there were red deer being raised in the area. Where I live in southern Illinois, we have elk being raised in our area, and I don’t know of a hunter around here who isn’t aware of it.” “As far as the legality of the hunter shooting these animals, it would appear that he was entirely within the law. However, it is my opinion that hunters also have moral obligations. I believe that a hunter should do everything he can to be sure the animal’s demise comes quickly, regardless of whether hunting with a bow or a gun. I also believe that it is immoral to shoot a first-year deer – after all, they are the future of our sport. And, I cannot fathom a hunter shooting something that he knows does not inhabit the area, but he shoots it anyway because he knows that shooting it is not illegal – that’s immoral.” “Therefore, I think that given all of the circumstances, this seasoned hunter used very poor judgment when, not once but twice, he killed animals he should have left standing. It would seem that his loss of hunting privileges on the land where he shot the animals is a fitting response when mans law is inadequate.” How do you figure the following event should have played out? A Michigan hunter sees a bison in the field. He calls the Department of Natural Resources to ask if he can shoot it. They give him the green light. There are no bison in Michigan, therefore, there is no season on bison. He shoots the animal. It seems the animal escaped from a neighboring livestock ranch. The rancher had his herd registered with the state. He claimed they should have known not to give the hunter permission to harvest the bison. He was awarded $1,000 and an apology for the Michigan DNR error. What does this mean to the Illinois red deer story? Yes, there is no Illinois season on red elk or deer. Why didn’t the hunter call the DNR to see if there were any registered animals that had gotten loose? Even if he had called the IDNR, he was virtually sitting on our border with Wisconsin. How could anyone know if the animals had been registered in Wisconsin? It’s all over and done with and a story like this will likely never happen again. Still, I think the law should be amended to make it illegal to shoot an animal that is not covered by a specified season. It’s my opinion, and I am sticking to it. •฀Northwest Herald

Northern Illinois: Dave Kranz from Dave’s Bait, Tackle and Taxidermy in Crystal Lake reports: “The ice in most of the places that are being fished is around 6 inches thick. This is not a hardand-fast rule – you need to check every area for yourself. Always be safe first. Bluegills are hitting wigglers, wax worm or spikes with early a.m. and late afternoon being the best bites. Northern pike fishing is fair on Crystal Lake, Bangs Lake and some of the smaller lakes in the area. Large golden roaches or frozen smelt both will work for pike. Try setting a smelt on the bottom in a sandy area for late ice pike.” Call 815-455-2040 for updated reports.

OUTDOORS NOTES Fishing report

EAST LANSING, Mich. – Michigan State is banged up, and it keeps getting worse for the 12th-ranked Spartans. At least they’re winning while they pile up the injuries. Gary Harris scored 15 points while playing through a back ailment, and Keith Appling added 14 points before leaving with a shoulder injury, leading Michigan State to a 61-50 victory over No. 18 Minnesota on Wednesday night. Harris played after being knocked out of the previous game with back spasms. The Spartans lack depth in the backcourt because Travis Trice, Appling’s backup, hasn’t been cleared after a head injury last week, and Brandan Kearney transferred to Arizona State. Their frontcourt took a hit when Adreian Payne got elbowed in the face, and left the court with a bloody nose for part of the second half, while Branden Dawson was slowed by a sprained

right ankle. The Spartans (19-4 overall, 8-2 Big Ten) moved into a second-place tie with No. 3 Michigan, which visits East Lansing on Tuesday night. Minnesota (17-6, 5-5) has lost five of its past seven games.

place Monday to Feb. 17 in Wausau, Wis., on the Big Eau Pleine Reservoir. Ice angling teams from around the world will be competing. USA Ice Team Capt. Mike McNett of Lombard said, “We held our U.S. qualifier here earlier in 2012, so we are already familiar with the techniques that will take to win in Wausau. In 2010, when the United States held the World Ice Fishing Championship in Rhinelander, Wis., we won. Home ice is an advantage for all nations who host the event. We are hoping it will be enough for us to repeat the gold medal on our home soil.” For information, visit usaiceteam.com or email the captain at otis_mcnett@hotmail.com.

Fishing seminar Here’s an invitation I received from Captain Walt Koch of redrockguidingservice.com: “I wanted to let you know that I will be giving a seminar on fishing the Fox Chain O’ Lakes in Fox Lake on Feb. 19 at 7:30 p.m. I will focus on fishing for walleye and crappie. The seminar will cover all the main lakes and the upper and lower river. We will talk about seasonal patterns, fishing techniques, and presentations. There will be plenty of

time for questions and answers. “The location of the seminar is at the NAC/Rod & Gun Club facility right on the shores of Fox Lake on Lippincott Point. The seminar will be given in their nice large clubhouse main room. Admission is free. The club will be raffling off a half-day guide trip for two anglers with my guide service. Tickets are $5 each or five for $20 and may be purchased at the club that night.”

Turkey totals The Illinois Department of Natural Resources announced the results for the fall 2012 Wild Turkey Season. Hunters harvested 1,330 birds. The harvest compares with a total wild turkey harvest of 1,316 birds during the 2011 seasons. Fifty-one counties were open to fall firearm turkey hunting, while 96 counties were open to the fall archery turkey season. The top five firearm counties for fall turkey harvest were Jo Daviess (73), Pope (34), Jefferson (34), Union (32) and Williamson (32). The top five archery counties for fall turkey harvest were Fulton (27), Jefferson (26), Peoria (24), Jo Daviess (23), and Cass and Ogle (19 each).

The Blackhawks’ Marian Hossa leaves the game April 17 after a hit from the Phoenix Coyotes’ Raffi Torres during Game 3 of their firstround playoff series at the United Center.

Hawks can’t afford to be distracted by Torres • MUSICK Continued from page C1 Since then, Torres has reminded everyone of his abilities with zero goals and zero assists in two games. He logged 17 shifts against the Dallas Stars and 12 shifts against the Minnesota Wild. Given last year’s playoff series, perhaps it’s appropriate that today marks Game 3 for Torres. But the Hawks have too much going for them to worry about a clown on skates. Winning the game and earning two points in the standings is more important than seeking revenge. At 8-0-2, the Hawks have the best record in the league. Most of that success has come on the road, where the Hawks have won in hostile environments such as Los Angeles, Vancouver and San Jose. A shortened 48-game season makes each of those wins even more valuable. Expect another crowded

playoff race this spring as teams compete for home-ice advantage in the hard-fought Western Conference. Last season, only 10 points separated the five best teams. Whether the Hawks earn two points, one point or zero points today could loom large in April. The difference could separate a No. 1 seed from a No. 2 seed, or a No. 3 from a No. 4, or … you get the idea. That’s why, today, the Hawks should focus on the puck rather than the punk. If Torres happens to have the puck along the boards or across the ice and a Hawks player is nearby, by all means, crunch him like an aluminum can. The same goes for any skater on the Coyotes’ roster. But only special players deserve special attention. Torres is far from special. •฀Northwest Herald sports columnist Tom Musick can be reached at tmusick@shawmedia.com and on Twitter @ tcmusick.

You go through your daily routine, you go snowboarding and then you do it all over the next day.”

than limiting himself to Colorado’s park systems. Pulling off tricks on big-city rails is an avenue many of his fellow snowboarders haven’t yet tapped into – again allowing the creative side to flourish. But it also allows Kelley to enjoy a snowboarding life he characterizes as freeing – one he doesn’t see changing anytime soon. “I’m away from everything – I’m surrounded by mountains and snow and a lot of good friends,” Kelley

Kelley left Huntley to train in Colorado

Kelley is comfortable in more traditional snowboarding competitions, but gains more enjoyment on the rails, perfecting tricks he first picked up at Raging Buffalo Snowboard and Ski Park off Route 31 in Algonquin. While his trick repertoire may be a conglomeration of things he’s seen others do, rail riding allows Kelley to put his own spin on what he loves to do. Despite the extreme nature of her son’s chosen path, Sherri Kelley doesn’t worry about what could happen in a competitive environment in which 25-year-old Caleb Moore died after crashing his snowmobile following a backflip during a freestyle event at the X Games. “Kyle has always been very passionate about his snowboarding and so we’ve always wanted to support him any way we could,” she said Wednesday. “He’s been doing it since he was 5 and he’s always put 120 percent into it – it’s just what he loves to do.” That support carried over to Kelley’s decision to leave high school last year after his competition and training schedule in Colorado kept him away for up to a month at a time. Kelley now takes classes through the American School of Correspondence. On Saturday, Kelley will compete in the TransWorld Trans Am at Keystone, an event that sends the winner onto the finals next month in Park City, Utah. Later in the day, he’ll take part in a local Rail Jam competition in Evergreen, which pays the top finisher $500. In addition to competing, Kelley will spend much of his time this year on filming projects, working in more urban settings rather

ADVICE

Northwest Herald / NWHerald.com

Readers warn teen to avoid Leukemia curable with meds becoming a parent too soon

Dear Abby: Thank you for the compassion you showed “Wants to Be a Mom” (Nov. 24), the 15-year-old girl considering motherhood with her almost 18-year-old boyfriend. Having lost her dad at an early age and having a mother who prefers drugs over her daughter must have made this young lady feel very unwanted. I understand why she might think a baby would give her the love she’s missing. I applaud you for not judging her, but instead kindly helping her to understand the consequences of her potential actions. I wish her the best and hope she’ll have the wisdom to realize how important an education will be for her future. With luck, in a few years she’ll be a young adult ready to assume the responsibilities of being a parent. – Linda In Michigan Dear Linda: “Wants” was smart to write for advice before acting on impulse. She deserved a thoughtful response and not just a reprimand. Readers had much to say about her letter: Dear Abby: At 15, I had the first of my five daughters. By the time I was 20 I was raising the babies by myself. Would I do it all over again? Not in this lifetime. “Wants,” your boyfriend is immature. He should finish school and get a job before thinking about children. You are only 15 and have your best years ahead. One thing that never crossed MY mind was how I would be able to support my child without an

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips education. I learned the hard way. If you and your grandma aren’t getting along, it’s up to you to change your attitude. Grandma has more experience than you do in this world. Listening to her will help you avoid many of the pitfalls that I went through, and that you face presently.

– Was There Once In Washington Dear Abby: I had my first child at 21, and while I love my son there are times I wish I would have waited a while. I missed out on college and figuring out who I was and what I wanted to do. My son and daughter turned out to have special needs, so my life has been busy taking care of them. Please tell that teen having a baby is not at all like it is in TV commercials. – Maria In

Illinois Dear Abby: A mentor to teen boys told me some of them deliberately try to impregnate girls so they’ll have a “trophy” of how manly and virile they are. The more babies they help conceive, especially without having to be responsible for them, the more bragging can go on in the locker room. Every parent needs to know this behavior is going on. Some of these boys have punched holes in condoms and convinced a reticent girl to have sex – then laughed at her and

dumped her when she became pregnant. – Nursing School

Student In Wisconsin Dear Abby: That 15-yearold’s boyfriend’s desire for her to have a baby seems like a control issue to me, and it will set the tone for their relationship. She needs to say no or she will most likely be under his power for the foreseeable future. I have seen this happen too many times with high school girls. – Former

Teacher In The Northwest Dear Abby: Some states will accuse the young man of statutory rape, and he could end up in jail and be branded a sex offender for life. And the girl will wind up with a baby, no education and no husband to help her. Children have no business having children. –

Florida Reader Dear Abby: Tell that girl and her boyfriend that if they want a baby, they must support that baby on their own. Those of us who are working and raising families are tired of entitlements the young ones count on for support. Life is hard. It’s expensive. And it is about more than what you “want” on a whim.

– Kathy In The Midwest Dear Abby: Please tell her to visit Planned Parenthood. It promotes responsible parenting and healthy sexuality. I checked its website, and there’s an office in Blacksburg, Va., not far from where she lives. My best to her. –

tors have become standard therapy. We have these drugs because we invested in the research that discovered what exactly happens inside a CML cell to turn it cancerous. That discovery led directly to these breakthrough drugs. Some patients with leukemia can be cured by a bone marrow transplantation. This Nobel Prize-winning treatment has saved thousands of lives and took years of research. Patients with leukemia today have a much better prognosis than they did when I went to medical school. When I was an intern, I was on duty in the hospital on Christmas Eve. I spent part of that night reading a story to a boy who was dying of acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL). It was incurable then. All I could do for him was read him a story. He died Christmas Day.฀Today,฀more฀than฀80฀ percent of kids with ALL can be cured. That’s because – and only because – we the people, through our government and private companies, have invested in medical research.

Dear Dr. K: My uncle recently was diagnosed with leukemia. I’d like to learn more about it. Dear Reader: Leukemia is a form of cancer that affects the body’s blood cells. Almost every type of cell in our body can turn cancerous, and blood cells are no exception. Every day, each of us makes millions of new blood cells – red blood cells, white blood cells and the cells that make platelets (little cell fragments that help blood to clot). Blood cells are made in the marrow (the inside) of bones. Blood cells have a relatively short life. Red blood cells last about 120 days. That’s why we need to make so many new cells every day. However, when a cell turns cancerous, it doesn’t die. As a result, the number of cells in the bone marrow and in the blood start increasing. The most common types of leukemia involve one of the two major types of white blood cells: lymphocytes and myelocytes. These cells help the immune system fight off viruses, infections and other invading organisms. Leukemias arising from lymphocytes are called lymphocytic leukemias. Those arising from myelocytes are called myeloid, or myelogenous, leukemias. Leukemia is either acute (comes on

Willis defends gun rights THINGS

Bruce Willis says he’s against new gun control laws that could infringe on Second Amendment rights. The “Die Hard” star also dismisses any link between Hollywood shootouts and real-life gun violence. “I think that you can’t start to pick apart anything out of the Bill of Rights without thinking that it’s all going to become undone,” Willis said while promoting his latest film, “A Good Day To Die Hard.” ‘’If you take one out or change one law, then why wouldn’t they take all your rights away from you?” Willis’ fifth outing as wise-cracking cop John McClane, due in theaters Feb. 14, comes as his action franchise marks its 25th anniversary.

BUZZWORTHY

Abrams coy about ‘Star Wars’ A newly announced “Star Wars” sequel was on everyone’s mind when J.J. Abrams took the stage Wednesday at a Las Vegas video game conference, but he made only a sideways mention of the film he has been hired to direct. The reference was a throw-away joke from his last franchise reboot. The director played a scene from his 2009 “Star Trek” film to illustrate the importance of embroidering films with subtle details, and freeze-framed on a shot of a familiar “Star Wars” robot peeking from space junk. “So they’re looking at all the debris that’s out there, and curiously, it’s R2D2,” he said, drawing a roar of laughter. Gabe Newell, president of video game developer Valve, shared a stage with Abrams at the Design, Innovate, Communicate, Entertain Summit at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino. “So now I have to go back through your movies looking at all the debris to figure out what movie you’re going to direct next?” Newell asked. Abrams has given die-hard fans few clues about his vision for the seventh live-action “Star Wars” film. He was announced as its director in January. Abrams has made a name for himself as a trusted steward of beloved fantasy universes, directing well-received additions to the “Star Trek” and “Mission: Impossible” franchises.

Braxton’s son debuts

Walters plans return

Toni Braxton’s autistic son makes his acting debut in her new Lifetime movie, “Twist of Faith,” and could have had a bigger role, but the singer didn’t want to put too much pressure on him. “Even though he’s considered high functioning right now, he wasn’t in the past, and that’s why Toni Braxton I thought him carrying the movie and trying to do the movie and tutoring would have been too much for him,” the 45-yearold singer said. Braxton decided he should take a smaller role. “He was a little disappointed at first, but I think in the end, he’s happy about the turnout,” she said.

Barbara Walters isn’t “scratching too much” from chickenpox, but she says she won’t be back at “The View” for three more weeks. Walters phoned into the ABC talk show Wednesday. Calling from her home, she reported that she’s weak but not in any pain. She announced Wednesday: “I’m not itching away.” Then she marveled that the best remedy for itching is an age-old one, saying: “We have Facebook, Twitter and calamine lotion.”

iTunes reaches milestone The answer to the trivia question will be: “Monkey Drums (Goskel Vancin Remix) by Chase Buch.” That’s the 25-billionth song purchased on iTunes. Apple announced the sales milestone in a news release Wednesday. The company says Phillip Lupke of Germany bought and downloaded Buch’s song and will receive an iTunes gift card worth 10,000 euros, or about $13,500. It took the Cupertino, Calif., company almost 10 years to reach the milestone. Customers download an average of 15,000 songs a minute from the iTunes music store.

Forrest Construction Group owner Kellie Bell. Forrest Construction is working with Plote Construction to supply the toll plaza control buildings at the new Route 47 and I-90 interchange project in Huntley.

A decade of building Woman-owned construction company evolves NORTHWEST HERALD HUNTLEY – Just out of college, Kellie Bell was as green as her original logo color when she opened Forrest Construction Group Inc. in 2002. Today, she is celebrating a decade of business growth at a time when many construction companies have folded. Kellie Bell is president of Forrest Construction Group Inc. The womanowned design/build construction management company serves retail, commercial and industrial, medical, academia, and office clients with build-outs. Headquartered in Huntley, Forrest Construction is certified as a Women’s Business Enterprise in the city of Chicago, Cook County and nationwide. The state of Illinois recognizes For-

rest Construction as a Female Business Enterprise and Disadvantaged Business Enterprise. Bell leads a team of experienced construction professionals, including the newest hire Rick Jensen as project superintendent. Jensen has 30 years experience in construction management. Forrest Construction’s recent projects include light industrial at Handifoil in Naperville and retail store build-outs such as the Puma store in Woodfield Mall. Crabtree & Evelyn contracted with Forrest Construction for their store in a Michigan mall which was so successful that it evolved into the renovation of the Woodfield Mall location as well. A new high-profile project for Forrest Construction is working with Plote Construction to supply the toll plaza

control buildings at the new Route 47 and I-90 interchange expansion. Construction has been a volatile industry in recent years. “We learned to adjust to the lean times because we are a small, flexible operation,” Bell said. “We took each job and gave it our best because we didn’t know what was next. “Reputation and longevity are critical to success in the trades,” Bell added. “We keep evolving in staff and services to meet our clients’ needs and expectations. Being a Woman Business Enterprise allows for some opportunities; however, we have to work harder and strive to satisfy every customer to generate new leads and referrals.” For more information about Forrest Construction Group, call 847-6693800.

Be proactive in becoming the best you can be

As a leader in your company, you’ve most likely been busy during the past few weeks thinking about what your team or department can do in 2013 to take business to new heights in terms of production, customer service and innovation. But with a new year comes new opportunities for you to develop and grow as a leader and boss. Here are just a few ideas for you to put into action in 2013 to be the best leader you can be for your organization. Get social media savvy. If you haven’t already come to the realization that social media is changing the way business is conducted, you’ll need to this year. According to VerticalResponse, a small business marketing company, nearly 90 percent of small businesses are on Facebook, while nearly 70 percent have a presence on Twitter. Those

businesses are participating in networks with more than 1 billion and 140 million people respectively. People are no longer just talking about their experience with a business to a close circle of friends; they’re letting their entire social network know what happened. And if your business is great at customer service, engaging consumers online could lead to some great brand advocates for your company. However, customer loyalty can easily go in the other direction, as well. As a leader, it’s your responsibility to research and find out where and how your company can be active in the growing social media space.

Think back to how you came into the leadership role you are in today. Who inspired, taught, counseled and listened to you? Now think about a person in your business or personal life that you could offer those same skills to. Not only will being a mentor to someone allow you to pass on your knowledge and advice to another generation of leaders, you will be challenged to learn more and grow more so you can offer more to your mentee. The best leaders also know that having a mentor leads to more success and increased fulfillment in their work. A study by the Ameri-

8IN BRIEF Time Warner quarterly earnings up 51 percent NEW YORK – Time Warner Inc. said Wednesday that net income grew 51 percent in the last three months of 2012 even as revenue was largely unchanged. Rising fees from cable and satellite companies and higher ad revenue at the TV networks offset revenue declines at the movie studio and magazine businesses. The company also announced a dividend increase and a new plan to buy back shares. Its stock jumped to its highest level in more than a decade. The television networks business drove the quarter’s performance as revenue there grew 5 percent, offsetting declines elsewhere. The Warner Bros. studio business had a weaker release lineup in the most recent quarter, though it managed to report an operating profit with an emphasis on higher-profit TV production. The Time Inc. magazine business, the smallest of the three, has announced layoffs to reflect reduced demand for print editions. During a call with analysts, Time Warner executives credited original programs for much of its successes.

Examining fees for mutual funds Recently, a nice gentleman – let’s call him John – reached out to me to express a discontent with his current financial adviser, but yet he didn’t know exactly why he was frustrated. After asking a few probing questions, I learned that John suspected that his adviser purchased mutual funds having high expenses. While he didn’t have the tools to analyze mutual fund fees, John had a hunch – call it intuition. John was wondering if he was paying too much. If you own a mutual fund, you pay an annual fee (ex-

pense ratio) to the investment company offering you opportunity to invest in its mutual funds. The fee exists so that the company can provide you the service and make a profit. Interestingly, the largest mutual fund company in the U.S., The Vanguard Group, is organized so that investors also own the company, thus, Vanguard doesn’t increase mutual fund fees to make a profit. The company can keep fees at rock bottom, with several mutual funds having an annual fee of 0.10 percent. In contrast, the average mutual

You should be aware of another fee called the 12b-1 fee, which is pulled from investors’ funds annually for investment companies to use to attract new investors or compensate brokers.

To end the red ink flow, John has an alternative which includes building a portfolio with low-cost, globally diversified investments suited to his risk/return tolerance. While no one knows if the market will go up or down, we do know that the higher your investment cost, the lower your investment return.

NTSB: Plane batteries not necessarily unsafe By JOAN LOWY The Associated Press

Ralph Lauren’s 3Q profit up 27 percent NEW YORK – Ralph Lauren Corp. posted a 27 percent increase in its fiscal thirdquarter profit as the designer clothing company enjoyed continued momentum in spending among its affluent shoppers in the U.S. and improving trends in Europe during the crucial winter holidays. The news sent shares of the company up more than 7 percent in late morning trading. The results, announced Wednesday, are an improvement from the first half of the year, when cotton costs soared and the company was bearing costs to eliminate some of its businesses to focus on the most profitable ones. But the company managed to navigate through the rough patches and delivered better-than-expected results. The company’s performance also shows that even in challenging times, the affluent will continue to spend on brands that they trust the most. The owner of the Ralph Lauren Collection and Polo by Ralph Lauren brands sells its products at department stores, its own shops and through other retailers. “Our third-quarter performance is a testament to the enduring appeal of our brand and the dedication of our passionate team,” Ralph Lauren, chairman and CEO, said in a statement.

This is not a one-time fee. After running John’s portfolio through an analytical test, I confirmed John’s suspicion: the mutual funds costs were high. Several of his mutual funds had front-end loads of 5.75 percent, meaning as soon as he bought the fund, he paid a fee of 5.75 percent of his investment. John also was paying 12b-1 fees. I explained he had other hidden costs such as high portfolio turnover, which is excess buying and selling of investments inside the mutual funds. John was feeling a bit weak in the

The newest Monopoly token, a cat, rests on a Boardwalk deed next to a die and houses at Hasbro Inc. headquarters, in Pawtucket, R.I.

Cat replaces iron as new Monopoly token By RODRIQUE NGOWI The Associated Press PAWTUCKET,฀ R.I.฀ –฀ The฀ Scottie dog has a new nemesis in Monopoly after fans voted in an online contest to add a cat token to the property trading game, replacing the iron, toy maker Hasbro Inc. announced Wednesday. The results were announced after the shoe, wheelbarrow and iron were neck and neck for elimination in the final hours of voting that sparked passionate efforts by fans to save their favorite tokens, and by businesses eager to capitalize on publicity surrounding pieces that represent their products. The vote on Facebook closed just before midnight on Tuesday, marking the first time that fans have had a say on which of the eight tokens to add and which one to toss. The pieces identify the players and have changed quite a lot since฀Parker฀Brothers฀bought฀ the game from its original designer in 1935. Rhode Island-based Hasbro announced the new piece Wednesday morning.

Other pieces that contested for a spot on Monopoly included a robot, diamond ring, helicopter and guitar. “I think there were a lot of cat lovers in the world that reached out and voted,” said Jonathan฀ Berkowitz,฀ vice฀ president for Hasbro gaming marketing. The Scottie Dog was the most popular of the classic tokens, and received 29 percent of the vote, the company said. The iron got the fewest votes and was kicked to the curb. The cat received 31 percent of votes for new tokens. The results were not entirely surprising to animal lovers. The Humane Society of the United States says on its website that there were more than 86 million cats living in U.S. homes, with 33 percent of households owning at least one feline in August 2011. Worldwide, there were an estimated 272 million cats in 194 countries in June 2008, according฀ to฀ London-based฀ World Society for the Protection of Animals. The online contest to change the tokens was sparked

by chatter on Facebook, where Monopoly has more than 10 million fans. The initiative was intended to ensure that a game created nearly eight decades ago remains relevant and engaging to fans today. “Tokens are always a key part of the Monopoly game ... and our fans are very passionate about their tokens,” Berkowitz฀said. Monopoly’s iconic tokens originated when the niece of game฀ creator฀ Charles฀ Darrow suggested using charms from her charm bracelet for tokens. The game is based on the฀ streets฀ of฀ Atlantic฀ City,฀ N.J., and has sold more than 275 million units worldwide. The other tokens currently in use are a racecar, a shoe, thimble, top hat, wheelbarrow and battleship. Most of the pieces were introduced with the฀first฀Parker฀Brothers฀iteration of the game in 1935, and the Scottie dog and wheelbarrow were added in the early 1950s. The original version also included a lantern, purse, cannon and a rocking horse. A horse and rider token was used in the 1950s.

WASHINGTON – The use of lithium ion batteries to power aircraft systems isn’t necessarily unsafe despite a฀battery฀fire฀in฀one฀Boeing฀ 787 Dreamliner and smoke in another, but manufacturers need to build in reliable safeguards, the nation’s top aviation safety investigator said Wednesday. National Transportation Safety฀Board฀Chairman฀Deborah Hersman said she doesn’t want to “categorically” rule out the use of lithium ion batteries to power aircraft systems, even though it’s clear that safeguards failed in the case of a Japan Airlines 787 that had a battery fire while parked฀ at฀ Boston’s฀ Logan฀ International Airport last month. “Obviously what we saw in the 787 battery fire in Boston฀shows฀us฀there฀were฀ some risks that were not mitigated, that were not addressed,” Hersman told reporters in an interview. The fire was “not what we would have expected to see in a brand new battery in a brand

new airplane,” she said. The 787 is the first airliner to make extensive use of lithium batteries. Aircraft makers view lithium batteries, which are lighter and can store more energy than other types of batteries of an equivalent size, as an important way to save on fuel costs. The Airbus A350, expected to be ready next year, will also make extensive use of lithium ion batteries. Manufacturers are also looking to retrofit existing planes, replacing other types of batteries with lithium ion. But฀lithium฀batteries฀are฀ more likely to short circuit and start a fire than other batteries if they are damaged, if there is a manufacturing flaw or if they are exposed to excessive heat. The board is still weeks away from determining the cause of the Jan. 7 battery fire, Hersman said. Investigators are also looking into the special conditions the Federal Aviation Administration required Boeing฀ to฀ meet฀ in฀ order฀ to฀ use lithium ion batteries to power the 787’s electrical systems, she said.

Dell’s rise and fall Founder was the Zuckerberg of his day By BARBARA ORTUTAY AP Technology Writer

NEW YORK – It’s easy to forget now, but Michael Dell was the Mark Zuckerberg of his day. Hailed as a young genius, he created the inexpensive, made-to-order personal computer in his University of Texas dorm room and sold it straight to the public. In the 1980s and ‘90s, his face appeared on magazine covers, and well before he turned 40, he was a college dropoutturned-billionaire CEO, ranked alongside Bill Gates and Steve Jobs. But that was a long time ago in the fast-moving world of high technology. Now the PC is getting eclipsed by smartphones and tablet computers, and Dell is struggling to save his company – and his legacy. Tuesday’s announcement that Michael Dell and the investment firm Silver Lake have struck a $24.4 billion deal to buy publicly traded Dell Inc. and take it private may well be the founder’s last chance to recapture his former glory. The agreement will allow the company to attempt a turnaround without having to worry about pleasing Wall Street with its earnings. For Michael Dell, 47, the attempt to retool the company he built is personal, said technology analyst Patrick Moor-

head, who runs Moor Insights & Strategy. “His name is on the logo and all the buildings. So he takes all of this very personally,” Moorhead said. “This is a way for him to solidify the way people will look at him and remember him.” Analysts said Dell Inc. will have to mine more profitable areas such as technology consulting and business software. In a statement, Dell himself said little more than that the transformation will “take more time, investment and patience.” The company he founded some 29 years ago rose to the top of the world’s PC market more than a decade ago. In its heyday, its turn-of-themillennium ad slogan, “Dude, you’re getting a Dell,” became a pop-culture catchphrase. Dell took orders straight from customers, first by phone and then by Internet, cutting out stores and passing the savings along. “What Michael Dell was all about was getting products to people faster and more directly and at a lower cost than anyone could,” said Forrester Research analyst David Johnson. While Dell PCs are still used in offices and homes around the world, the industry has proved unforgiving to those who don’t evolve with it. With smartphones booming, PC sales falling 3.5 percent

last year, and tablets expected to outsell laptop computers this year, Dell’s old slogan is more likely to be phrased as a question, as in: “Dude, you’re getting a Dell?” Dell Inc. is now selling itself for a price that is about 80 percent below its peak market value of more than $150 billion in March 2000. The company is now the world’s third-largest PC maker, having fallen behind HewlettPackard and Lenovo. Apple has a smaller share of the computer market but more than makes up for that with its sleek iPods, iPhones and iPads. IBM managed to reinvent itself during the 1990s when its main business of selling mainframe computers began to suffer as desktop machines grew increasingly powerful. But it took nearly a decade. Michael Dell stepped down as CEO in 2004, staying on as chairman. But the Round Rock, Texas, company faltered under CEO Kevin Rollins and saw its first-ever profit decline. Customers complained of poor service, and sales slowed as Dell faced a market glut of cheap PCs from other makers. The company lost its No. 1 position to HP 2006 and never regained its standing. Michael Dell returned as CEO in 2007 and began carrying out a turnaround plan, dubbed “Dell 2.0,” that included improving customer ser-

But it’s a steep markdown from $24 a share six years ago.

That’s well above the stock price of $10.88 before word of the talks emerged three weeks ago.

CVS Caremark’s fourthquarter earnings climbed 6 percent, as new customers and Medicare prescription drug plans helped its pharmacy benefits management business, and revenue from the chain’s established drugstores grew. The Woonsocket, R.I., company said Wednesday it earned $1.13 billion, or 90 cents per share, in the three months that ended Dec. 31. That compares with earnings of $1.06 billion, or 81 cents per share, in the same period in 2011. Adjusted earnings totaled $1.14 per share, while revenue climbed nearly 11 percent to $31.39 billion. Analysts expected, on average, earnings of $1.10 per share on $31.14 billion in revenue, according to FactSet. CVS Caremark Corp. runs the second-largest chain of drugstores in the United States, after Walgreen Co., and also is one of the nation’s largest pharmacy benefits managers. Revenue grew more than 17 percent from its pharmacy benefits management side, as the number of pharmacy network claims processed in the quarter rose 6.5 percent to 205.5 million. Pharmacy benefits managers, or PBMs, run prescription

drug plans for employers, insurers and other customers. They process mail-order prescriptions and handle bills for prescriptions filled at retail pharmacies. They use large purchasing power to negotiate lower drug prices and make money by reducing costs for health plan sponsors and members. CVS also runs 7,458 drugstores in the U.S. Revenue from drugstores open at least a year grew 4 percent despite taking a hit from a wave of generic drug introductions. Generic equivalents to drugs like the blockbuster cholesterol fighter Lipitor have hurt revenue for pharmacies over the past year because they cost less than brand-name products. But they help profitability because they provide a wider margin between the cost for the pharmacy to purchase the drugs and the reimbursement the pharmacy receives. The company also said Wednesday it now expects 2013 adjusted earnings of $3.86 to $4 per share, a twocent increase from its previous forecast. That’s because of lower interest payments on refinanced debt, not the company’s operations, said Credit Suisse analyst Edward Kelly, and the outlook is still in line with analysts’ prediction of $3.92 per share, on average.

Fines levied against RBS in rate-fixing scandal By DANICA KIRKA The Associated Press LONDON – U.S. and U.K. authorities fined the Royal Bank of Scotland more than $610 million Wednesday for its role in the manipulation of a key global interest rate — with the bank pledging to make the rateriggers and their managers foot the bill. RBS is the third major bank caught up in an international scandal over banks’ setting the rate. The London interbank offered rate, or LIBOR, provides the basis for trillions of dollars in contracts around the world, including mortgages, bonds and consumer loans. In its statement, the U.S. Com-

modity Futures Trading Commission said it found that as recently as 2010 and dating back to 2006, RBS employees “made hundreds of attempts” to rig the yen and Swiss franc LIBOR, as well as making false LIBOR submissions to benefit its trading positions. U.S. and UK regulators fined RBS more than $460 million for raterigging. Meanwhile, a unit of RBS agreed to plead guilty in a Department of Justice investigation and accepted a penalty of $150 million. It will cooperate in the U.S. government probe. The investigations by the three organizations uncovered wrongdoing by 21 members of RBS’s staff — all of whom have either left the

company or a subject to disciplinary proceedings. The bank, which is 80 percent owned by the British government after it was bailed out in the 2008 banking crisis, has said it will pay the fines by cancelling the 2012 bonuses and clawing back money from previous bonuses of the staff involved — as well as supervisors with accountability for the business. “LIBOR manipulation is an extreme example of a selfish and selfserving culture that took hold in parts of the banking industry during the financial boom,” said RBS chief executive Stephen Hester in a statement. “We will use the lessons learned from this episode as further motiva-

tion to reject and change the vestiges of that culture.” The action against RBS “demonstrates yet another clear case of a bank falsely reporting and attempting to manipulate or successfully manipulating benchmark rates to increase trading profits,” CFTC Chairman Gary Gensler said in a statement. “Such false reporting of benchmark rates undermines the integrity of markets and shakes the public’s trust in our financial system.” Gensler called in September for an overhaul of the process for setting the LIBOR rate, saying consumers need more confidence that it is set honestly and transparently. RBS Securities Japan Ltd. has

agreed to plead guilty to a criminal charge of wire fraud in an agreement with the U.S. Justice Department. Britain’s banking industry found itself caught up in a series of scandals since the financial crisis in 2008. Several executives at another major British bank, Barclays, were forced to step down after the bank was hit with 290 million pound fine for rigging Libor, the rate at which banks lend to each other. Barclays’s role in fiddling the rate led to a $453 million fine and the resignation of a slew of executives, including chief executive, Bob Diamond. Swiss bank UBS was fined $1.5 billion late last year for its role in the LIBOR-rigging scandal.

Brewer pedals what’s on tap By RAJU WOODWARD Corvallis Gazette-Times

CORVALLIS, Ore. – It’s Friday morning and Laurence Livingston is geared up and ready to go. The head brewer and brewery manager at Sky High Brewing rolls out two 150-pound kegs of beer in the brewing area. “Lift with your legs, not your back,” Livingston says as he lifts one of the kegs onto the bay of the orange and black bicycle standing in front of him. After he places the other keg onto the flat area, Livingston straps them down with a belt, opens the sliding cargo door to the brewery and hops on the bicycle. He’s wearing a black helmet with the Oregon State University “OS” logo and a checkered black and orange stripe. Slowly but steadily, Livingston pedals his 300-pound cargo to the intersection of Second Street and Jackson Avenue. He stops at the stop sign, turns left onto Second Street and pedals toward his first delivery stop: the downtown

American Dream Pizza parlor. At 9½ feet long and sporting a flat cargo area in front of the handlebars, the custommade bicycle isn’t your ordinary bike, but it’s perfect for delivering kegs of beer. “People like seeing beer delivered by bike,” Livingston said. “You see it more in Portland or Eugene. It’s pretty cool-looking.” Since Sky High Brewing opened its taproom on August 10, Livingston has used the bicycle to deliver kegs of beer to customers. “The owners and I are all avid cyclists,” Livingston said. “We looked around and saw this. Corvallis is such a bike-friendly community, so we thought this would be a great fit. It’s pretty compact and easy to get around . . . We made a commitment to being sustainable and this helps us use less fuel.” Livingston makes most of his bicycle deliveries on Friday, mainly to the two American Dream Pizza parlors, as well as places such as Del Alma and Bombs Away. He has made several special deliveries including to Reser Stadium during the Civil War

Livingston said he usually delivers between eight to 10 kegs every Friday by bicycle. He said that his longest trip is about two miles to American Dream on Monroe Avenue. Livingston said it took a while to get used to riding the bike because of the added

weight. He used smaller kegs at first to get more comfortable riding. And once he gets going, especially uphill, Livingston said it’s hard to stop. The bicycle features a motorcycle-style kickstand to handle the heavy loads. However, Livingston is proud to say that he’s never

crashed the bicycle. Livingston said he sees plenty of reactions from onlookers. He recalled one time when a man followed him for a while trying to snap the perfect picture of the eye-grabbing bicycle. And while he makes about four to five deliveries on Fri-

day, Livingston said he could make deliveries all day if needed. He said he enjoys the workout. “Brewing is a pretty physical job, so you have to be in shape,” Livingston said. “But doing this allows me to get out of the brewery once in a while.”

Model airplane business is achieving new heights By JESSE BUCHANAN Record-Journal of Meriden

MERIDEN, Conn. – The aircraft engines being produced at Syssa Aircraft Performance on North Colony Road will end up in planes all over the world, but the only local passenger on those planes is a stuffed “Beaker” doll based on the Muppets’ character. Syssa Aircraft produces model airplane engines and was started by hobbyist Todd Syssa, who occasionally pilots some of his airplanes at the Hub. One of the planes he’s building has the Beaker doll in the cockpit. Recently, the company got a contract to do work for the military. “But I can’t really talk about it,” Syssa said. Model planes of different sizes sit on shelves and partition walls at the North Colony Road shop. Blocks of aircraft-grade aluminum

are piled in bins waiting to be transformed into parts that will end up in engines destined for customers in Florida, Ohio or Texas, the biggest markets for remotecontrolled airplanes, according to Syssa. Aircraft engines and other parts the company makes require precision to degrees much smaller than a human hair, Syssa said. Other than the carburetors, the small engines are all produced in America, which is a selling point for many customers, according to Syssa, a city resident. “It makes a big difference,” he said. Joe Acosta, owner of Build Right Fly Right in Wallingford, said he’s known Syssa for many years and helped him get started on developing the engine about six years ago. Acosta told Syssa that there would be a market for good quality, American-made engines that are comparable

in price to engines made in China or Japan. “If the entire package is substantially better than the Chinese can produce, then you can do it,” Acosta said. “There has to be a reason when you’re asking people to spend extra dollars.” Acosta said thus far, the strategy has worked for Syssa. “Last year I sold more of his engines than any other,” Acosta said. Acosta, who worked for 40 years in the aerospace industry, said Syssa exhibits a common tendency for engineers looking for ways to improve a product. “They’re never happy,” Acosta said. “He wants to change it every week.” When flying at the hub, Syssa uses a small training airplane since his larger airplanes are louder. “It would get people’s attention,” he said. In his shop, there are mod-

Syssa’s business makes engine parts for hobby aircraft. els of civilian planes along with a World War II Tigercat F7F, a hefty twin-engine plane that he’s working on. Syssa’s favorite is an acrobatic plane modeled on an Extra 300, able to hang in the air nose-up and go about 65 miles per hour. The 11½-pound plane is powered by one of

Syssa’s engines. Hobbyists buy airplane frames and can engines from a number of companies that fit their plane’s configuration. Syssa engines are sold through shops and online. Sean Moore, Greater Meriden Chamber of Commerce director, called the shop “awe-

some” and a blend of “technology and fun.” While there are still large manufacturers in the city, Moore said small businesses like Syssa’s are in the majority. “The bulk of it does come from smaller shops just like (Syssa’s),” he said.

Bosnian women miners still going strong The Associated Press

AP photo

Sakiba Colic (left) and Semsa Hadzo exchange jokes and laugh outside the shaft of the coal mine in Breza, Bosnia, after completing their eight-hour shift.

BREZA, Bosnia-Herzegovina – They’re a legacy of communism – a group of hardy women working deep underground in Bosnia’s aging coal mines. They’re set to retire in three years, marking the end of an era. In communist Yugoslavia, authorities wanted to promote gender equality and encouraged women to attend schools and get jobs instead of staying home and

raising kids. Factories filled with a new work force, and it was not uncommon to see women working as coal miners. Despite technology dating back to 1986 and the risk of accidents – more than 70 people died in the 1970s in two separate incidents – the 10 women in Breza, northwest of Sarajevo, seem to love their jobs. They enjoy the banter with the 500 or so men. The shafts and elevators echo with laughter and tales of grandchildren.

Paying around 500 euros ($675) a month, mining offers a stable income in a country with almost 30 percent unemployment. Many younger, female colleagues work in the administrative office above ground – but Sakiba Colic and Semsa Hadzo prefer the pit. “We are always in a good mood down there,” says Colic. “We get along great with our comrades and we love the jokes that are thrown around.”

For decades she tours the pits and checks the airflow, the amount of methane in the air and the temperature. But in 2016, when mandatory retirement kicks in, they will be the last of their kind. “They are very responsible and precise,” said pit supervisor Alija Salkic. “But I still think this is not a job for a woman. It’s hard and some are already grandmothers. Somehow, that’s a bit too much.”

Local builder deluged with gold awards Jerry Kuyper

Calm while containing a certain amount of excitement, Court Airhart had reason to be proud. Airhart Construction walked off with four major housing awards at the annual Northern Illinois Home Builders Association recent banquet and awards ceremony. “It is thrilling to see the team at Airhart Construction earn these awards as a result of their ingenuity and hard work. I am also pleased that these awards were across multiple price ranges proving great living environments are not simply based on budget.” Airhart won three gold ICON

awards and one silver. Prices on the projects winning the awards ranged from $350,000 to $1.5 million. The three golds were for Wheaton projects including a model at the Courthouse Square development, another for a custom house and the third for single family housing designs at the College Station community. The Farmington model at Fisher Farm in Winfield won a silver. “In this competitive environment, our team has worked extremely hard to work within budgets while providing exciting homes to live in. As a result, we have created more inventive housing designs and living options for our homeowners,” Airhart added. Each year, the membership of NIHBA judges entries in various

building categories, including remodeling and new construction and picks winners.

“Our membership includes about 175 builders and and those affiliated with the building industry,” NIHBA executive vice president Donna Renzi said. “We have a couple members from McHenry County but most are from Lake, Kane, DuPage, Kendall, Will and Cook counties.” Airhart’s design for single family housing at College Station won a gold for new construction costing no more than $350,000. The company’s design for row houses at Courthouse Square won a gold for new conPhoto provided struction priced from $350,000 to A custom house with shingle siding built by Airhart Construction of Wheaton won a gold award in the $550,000.

Design for the row houses at Courthouse Square in Wheaton won a gold award for Airhart Construction of Wheaton in a housing contest sponsored by the Northern Illinois Home Builders Association.

• BUILDER Continued from page F1

Airhart’s entry to the annual NIHBA contest of a custom house in Wheaton won a gold for new construction priced from $1 million to $1.5 million. And the Wheaton-based company won a silver for the Farmington design at Fisher Farm in the new construction $550,000 to $750,000 category. The row houses at Courthouse Square have rooftop terraces. The community of 46 Georgian-style housing is on the site of the DuPage County courthouse campus in Wheaton. Airhart said that Fisher Farm has “the roominess and privacy a detached home provides, yet the carefree advantages of a low-maintenance attached home.” Courthouse Square is close to the downtown. “Courthouse Square residents can walk to the Metra station, reap all the benefits of nearby downtown Wheaton with its restaurants and shops and also enjoy maintenance-free living,” Airhart director of sales Christy Whelan said. Buyers can choose from three customizable designs ranging in size from two to three bedrooms, two-and one-half to three-and-one-half baths with a two-car garage. Options include additional bedrooms and baths, a three-car tandem garage, a private elevator that can be installed now or framed as closets and planned for future conversion. An optional third floor can also be configured as flexible living space. Cottage-style housing is the norm at College Station where yard work is paid for through a homeowner association. The single-family community is limited to 14 houses, which are rearloaded with a two-car garage. At the intersection of Blanchard and Avery, College Station is in an established neighborhood and across the street from a park and the prairie path. Metra is a block away and the downtown a half-mile. Downtown Glen Ellyn also is a half-mile distant. “These residents are close to all the action without being in the center of it all. They receive a custom home with a convenient address that also provides privacy,” Whelan said. “This buyer leads an active lifestyle but not necessarily at their house. They may have children that are active in off-site event-oriented sports and have no need for a large backyard that they are never home to use.” Buyers can choose from three ranch and two-story designs ranging from two bedrooms and two to twoand-one-half baths.

Rooftop decks are an option and measure 200 square feet. Whelan indicated the decks provide space for entertaining friends, barbecuing, catching a suntan, growing plants and vegetables in pots, and more. A homeowner association fee covers routine maintenance for lawn care, landscaping upkeep and leaf/snow removal. Maintenance-free single-family houses with golf course views are offered at Fisher Farm in Winfield. There will be 71 of these low-maintenance attached units. “I describe Fisher Farm homes as ‘scaled-down spaces for live-it-up lifestyles.’ Many of these buyers aren’t looking for huge residences overflowing with excessive square footage that won’t be used and that cost a lot of money to heat, cool and maintain,” Whelan said. “These are people that do not want an attached townhouse or condo. What these people do desire are big, scenic views that, for instance, overlook a golf course, pond or natural preserve area, all of which Fisher Farm offers. They want great outdoor amenities commonly found at more expensive locations.” Fisher Farm designs have two to four bedrooms, two to three-and-a-half baths. Although not a part of the NIHBA awards ceremony, Airhart is developing another community. Townhouses with first floor master bedrooms are the norm at Mackenzie Place, a community of luxury townhouses in “a quiet corner of Wheaton,” according to Whelan. Prices range from $423,000 to $631,000. “Mackenzie Place buyers want a high-quality home on a well-landscaped property and may prefer a first-floor master suite,” she noted. “They don’t want to move away from friends or family, and they’ve owned a few homes previously. As a result, they know exactly what they want, which is generous amenities. They don’t need abundant square footage any longer, and low-maintenance in a close-knit community is high on their list.” Shoppers can select from eight designs, four ranches and four twostory designs (two of which include a first-floor master suite). Every townhouse has two to four bedrooms, and two to four bathrooms. Options include a private elevator, custom bookcases and a screened-in porch. Sales at the four communities are being conducted at Fisher Farm, 1N578 Golf View Lane, Winfield and at the Courthouse Square site, 309 E. Liberty St., Wheaton. Sales hour are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturdays, noon to 5 p.m. Sundays or by appointment.

The Abbey, which has a vaulted great room, is one of five maintenance-free ranches available for immediate delivery at Maples at the Sonatas in Woodstock. For information, visit www. airhartconstruction.com. Besides developing subdivisions or communities, Airhart designs and builds single-family custom housing at scattered sites. The company’s NIHBA awardwinning custom house is a shinglestyle, two-story with four bedrooms, five-and one-half baths, two-car sideload garage and a finished basement. “It has 4,400 square feet of living space on the ground and second floors and another 1,700 square feet of living space in the finished basement,” Airhart said. In addition there is a three car unattached garage with an upper level space that was designed for completion at a later date as a home office or apartment, plus an attached two-car garage. “The lot was really deep and measured 75 feet wide by 300 feet deep so there was room for that three-car garage.The unfinished second floor could be used for something eventually,” Airhart added. He explained that the house has a New England, Nantucket look with wood shingle siding on all four sides. “That’s how you get the architectural name for it ... shingle-style,” he said. Between the two gables on the second floor is a small semicircular window. “There’s a loft in that area of the second floor and the ceiling height is 12 to 15 feet so we put in a window (to let in more light),” he said.

When you are the declarer, sometimes your opponents will defend well and make your life somewhere between dificult and impossible. More often, though, they will not ind the best plays, making your task much easier. Take today’s deal as an example. South is in four hearts. After West leads the spade king, what is the best defense? If East and West ind that sequence of plays, what is declarer’s correct line mathematically? Three no-trump is easy here, but if South had rebid that, North, with four trumps and a low doubleton, would have corrected to four hearts. Under West’s spade king, East encourages with his nine. Now West should cash his spade queen, then lead a third spade (preferably the 10 as a suit-preference signal for diamonds, the higher-ranking of the other two side suits) to East’s ace. Then East should shift to the diamond four. South has two lines of play. He can take the diamond inesse -- a straight 50-50 shot. Or he can win with his diamond ace

and run all of his trumps, discarding a diamond from the dummy. He gets home if clubs are 3-3 -- a 35.53 percent chance -- or if a defender has four-plus clubs and the diamond king. (He will be squeezed by the last heart.) Even allowing for the squeeze chance, mathematically the diamond inesse is the better line -and fails here. However, if West wins the third spade trick and exits with a trump, declarer can cash his trumps, pitching a diamond from the dummy, then check to see if clubs are 3-3. If they are not, South has the diamond inesse as a last resort.

HOROSCOPE

TODAY - Even though partnership arrangements might not appeal to you in the year ahead, several alliances will become extremely important. It’s OK to avoid those who have nothing to contribute. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Even though you’re usually outgoing and friendly in all your relationships, today you could be a bit withdrawn. Come out of the shadows; you’ll have more fun mixing it up. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- View your expectations realistically but hopefully, because making them realities is within the realm of possibility. Practical goals are definitely achievable. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- The possibility of you being an excellent achiever is better than usual, so take on something that is especially important. You’ll do a great job handling it. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- A painful lesson you learned the hard way will be put to the test. You’ll not only avoid making that mistake again, you’ll know exactly how to handle things this time around. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Financial and commercial involvements are your strong suits. You’ll not only recognize a good deal when you see one, you’ll know how to make the most of it. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- The most beneficial involvement you could enter would be some kind of partnership. If each party does his or her best, mutual advantages will result. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Something you’ve been trying to accomplish that hasn’t worked out thus far can finally be wrapped up if you take a methodical approach. Do things one step at a time. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Don’t be reluctant to take charge of things when you get the chance. You’ll be far better at calling the shots than you would be trying to comply with the directives of another. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- It behooves you not to waste any time focusing on frivolous pursuits. Bend your efforts toward addressing your more serious problems, handling the tougher ones first. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Don’t beat around the bush when there is a serous issue you need to iron out with another. Get down to basics as quickly as you can, and set your mind upon a resolution. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- The possibility of personal gain looks exceptionally good, even if it won’t be earth-shattering. Be alert for different ways you can improve your material circumstances. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Because there is something difficult that has to be taken care of, you’ll be the one called upon to get it done. Answer the call of your peers with alacrity and zest.

NIGHTLIFE

By JAMI KUNZER jkunzer@shawmedia.com When future performers take the stage at the Woodstock Opera House, they’ll be doing so on the Orson Welles Stage. The stage where the filmmaker first directed in 1934 at the age of 19 officially will be dedicated in his honor at 2 p.m. Sunday during a public ceremony at the Opera House, 121 E. Van Buren St. The ceremony is part of an ongoing effort to remember and honor Welles, who attended the former Todd School for Boys in Woodstock and considered his headmaster and teacher Roger Hill as one of his biggest influences. “He’s a hometown boy. This is his hometown, and we’ve never honored him, and I think it’s overdue,” said RB Thompson, president of Woodstock Celebrates Inc., a newly formed group that has spearheaded the dedication and looks to host future events honoring Welles over the next couple years. The name of the stage and the dedication was suggested by Academy Award-winning filmmaker Chuck Workman, who is making a documentary about Welles called “The Magician” expected to debut later this year, Thompson said. Workman won a 1986 Oscar for Live Action Short Film. Workman contacted Woodstock Celebrates with plans to film part of his documentary in Woodstock and explore Welles’ ties to the area. He is expected to film at the dedication. Welles actually created his first film, an 8-minute short shot on 16 millimeter film featuring his first wife, Virginia Nicholson, called “The Hearts of Age,” in Woodstock in 1934. That film will be shown during the dedication, and a reception will follow. Seven years after that first film, Welles went on to make and star in “Citizen Kane,” a film consistently ranked as one of the all-time greatest films. He’d come back to both stay in and visit Woodstock throughout his career as an actor, film and theater director, screenwriter, playwright and film producer. Having lost both of his parents at a young age, Welles thought of Hill and his wife as his mentors, Thompson said. “They were basically his parents,” he said. Woodstock Celebrates also plans events in honor of a couple of Welles’ anniversaries over the next two years. His directorial debut was 80 years ago in 2014. And May 6, 2015, would have been his 100th birthday. Fans of the filmmaker, the group’s

WOODSTOCK OPERA HOUSE STAGE DEDICATION WHEN: Stage dedication at 2 p.m. Feb. 10; Bell dedication at 11:30 a.m. Feb. 10 WHERE: Stage dedication at Woodstock Opera House, 121 E. Van Buren St. Bell dedication at First Presbyterian Church, 2018 N. Route 47. COST & INFO: Woodstock Opera House stage is dedicated in honor of Orson Welles, who made his professional debut as an American director of live theater there in the summer of 1934. A large bell at the First Presbyterian Church in Woodstock also will be dedicated in his honor. The bell plays a supporting part in Welles’ irst ilm, “Hearts of Age,” ilmed in Woodstock in 1934. For information on the stage dedication, call the Opera House at 815-338-4212. members also would like to see Woodstock recognized on a broader scale for its historic significance in many areas, Thompson said. Along with the Opera House dedication, a dedication of the large bell that plays a supporting role in Welles’

“The Hearts of Age,” will take place at 11:30 a.m. Feb. 10 at First Presbyterian Church, 2018 N. Route 47, in Woodstock. Located at the entrance of the church, the bell is believed to be at least 170 years old. It is featured prominently in “The Hearts of Age,” a film Welles himself described as a result of simply “having some fun.” Though some have analyzed it more closely looking for Welles’ trademark hidden meanings, said Michael Dawson, a producer who created the documentary film, “Citzen Welles.” That was the filmaker’s allure, he said, a deeper meaning behind his aesthetic content. Dawson restored “The Hearts of Age” to show during Sunday’s dedication. The short film, which Welles created with a friend, William Vance, was included as an extra in his documentary. “It has kind of a Midwest gothic look to it, and it seems to deal with the themes of life and death, which kind of prevailed through Welles’ life in terms of his other films,” Dawson said. “The reality was some kids getting together and have some fun. If one wants to draw certain visual effects from it, have at it.”

PUMP UP THE

JAM

LITH’s Buetow rides high on Team Hot Wheels By JAMI KUNZER jkunzer@shawmedia.com I guess you could say Scott Buetow likes to go for leisurely drives on the weekend. What he drives is a 12-foottall, 10,000-pound monster truck. Buetow of Lake in the Hills and his truck are the newest members of Team Hot Wheels, traveling throughout the world to perform every weekend with Monster Jam. The team will take part in five shows this weekend, Friday

MONSTER JAM WHEN: Friday through Sunday WHERE: Allstate Arena, 6920 Mannheim Road, Rosemont COST & INFO: Tickets range from $32 to $109 at www. monsterjam.com. through Sunday, at Allstate Arena in Rosemont. Audience members will be able to come to pit parties and meet the drivers and take pictures, Buetow said.

The shows typically attract 4 millions fans annually across the country. An engineer by day, Buetow has been driving a monster truck for the past three years and performs 18 to 20 shows a year, including some international shows. “I’m an adrenaline junkie,” he said. “I’ve been around motorsports basically my whole life.” Buetow was named Monster Jam’s 2011 “Wow Factor of the Year” during his rookie year. That basically means,

as you’d probably guess, he wowed the crowd. “It has to be something they haven’t seen. ... I stopped a truck on its nose basically and went vertical, standing straight up, and I was able to control the truck and bring it back down,” he said. Though the size of Allstate Arena impedes jumps a bit, his favorite stunts involve big jumps. “In a bigger stadium, getting air is something we try to do a lot,” he said. “Any time you can get 30 feet in the air,

it’s cool.” The father of four, ages 11, 12, 13 and 17, said he’s never been injured, with numerous safety devices keeping him secure in the truck. There’s really no practicing when it comes to monster truck driving. “You practice in front of people,” he said, adding the trucks can cost about $300,000 and are typically only used in shows. “The more shows you do, the more seat time you get,” he said.

Jason Bateman and Melissa McCarthy star in “Identity Thief.”

‘Identity Thief’ a misguided road comedy “Identity Thief”

By JEFFREY WESTHOFF Several subjects are more ill-suited to comedy than identity theft: undergoing a root canal procedure, watching your house burn down, learning a beloved pet has died. Still, the notion of a person having his finances ransacked by a MORE stranger doesn’t promise ONLINE Watch a video hours of hilarity, and review of the makers of “Identity “Identity Thief” Thief” realize this. After setting up the profession- at PlanitNorthwest.com al and emotional devastation Jason Bateman’s character suffers when his identity is stolen, the movie does its best to say, “You know what? Forget about that. Laugh at the crazy car crashes instead.” Bateman’s character is a mensch, a mid-level functionary in a Denver financial services firm with a beautiful wife (Amanda Peet, who deserves to be in better movies), two darling daughters and a lifestyle they can just about

STARRING: Jason Bateman, Melissa McCarthy, Amanda Peet, Robert Patrick PLOT: When a Denver businessman (Bateman) discovers that a Florida woman has stolen his identity and destroyed his credit record, he travels to the Sunshine State to confront her. RATED: R for sexual content and language RUNNING TIME: 1 hour, 52 minutes afford. A phone call from an identity thief played by Melissa McCarthy threatens all this. Because Bateman has the androgynous name Sandy Patterson (he prefers to call it “unisex”), McCarthy is able to appropriate his name and his credit card information. In short order, Bateman’s bank informs him his accounts are overdrawn and his credit maxed out, the police arrest him for a crime he didn’t commit in a state he never visited and his boss (John Cho) wants to fire him. Once Bateman learns a woman in Florida is the real criminal, he convinces the police he can bring the woman to Denver and she will confess to defrauding him. Why he believes she will cooperate is a mystery. Of course, McCarthy is not the pushover he expected. Their initial encounter ends with him smashing a guitar into her face. Bateman soon coerces McCarthy

into his rented sedan. They set off for Denver, and “Thief” eventually settles into a sentimentality it by no means earns. Although director Seth Gordon (“Horrible Bosses”) takes a long time to reach this point, “Thief” is basically a road comedy. It borrows the specific formula John Hughes established in “Planes, Trains and Automobiles,” which was recycled just recently with Robert Downey Jr. and Zach Galifianakis in “Due Date.” A straight-laced family man is forced to journey with a weirdo. If “Thief” sticks to the formula, Bateman will recognize McCarthy’s loneliness and see her in a new light. Heartening stuff, but John Candy never willfully destroyed Steve Martin’s credit rating. Proving more like “Due Date” than “Planes, Trains,” “Thief” involves its characters in an array of traffic accidents that, in reality, would kill them. One miraculous non-fatality is presented rather graphically. If this were an action movie, it would be a henchman’s death scene. To partially explain why McCarthy is willing to hit the road with Bateman, she is being pursued by a pair of killers as well as a skip tracer (Robert Patrick). The developments don’t make much sense, but screenwriter Craig Mazin (working from a story he conceived with Jerry Eeten) probably read those script manuals that call for “complications,” so here they are.

See THIEF, page 13

• THIEF

Mazin includes many of the cliché scenes of a road comedy, such as fighting over the car radio and spending an embarrassing night at a cheap motel. Also on display is the standard establishing shot of the characters’ car passing the St. Louis Gateway Arch to demonstrate they are halfway into their journey. The script is episodic and clunky. Much time is wasted at the start with Bateman taking a new job. The only reason for the second job is to set up Bateman’s first boss, a smarmy one-percenter played by Jon Favreau, as a convenient foil in the third act. Favreau’s scene is the best in the movie. Explaining why “people like me” deserve million-dollar bonuses, he says. “I’ll get you a copy of ‘The Fountainhead.’ You’ll read it, and you’ll understand.” Although they are trapped within the script’s slippery morality, Bateman and McCarthy find ways to be charming. This may be the best version yet of the everyman persona Bateman has created for himself. McCarthy, first seen in garish makeup and brightly colored outfits that

maids,” the wild woman who turns out to have hidden wisdom. The late revelation about her character in “Bridesmaids” was touching, but her character in “Identity Thief” does not deserve such

empathy. This woman is an unrepentant thief who probably destroyed many lives before Bateman’s. If we like the character, it is because we are used to laughing at the

talented woman who plays her. But McCarthy should beware repeating this pattern. At some point acting offensive and obnoxious won’t be hilarious. It will just be offensive and obnoxious.

Tribute series honors Who, CCR, Holly By JAMI KUNZER jkunzer@shawmedia.com When it comes to tribute bands, Michael Stanard has become an expert. His work scouring the Internet and watching videos and live performances throughout the year will result in performances at the Woodstock Opera House by some of the best tribute bands in the country. Hosted by Stanard and his marketing, advertising and design firm, Once Zero Charlie, the fourth annual Woodstock Opera House Tribute Series begins Saturday with a tribute to The Who. Performed by The Who Show, a band based out of Los Angeles, the concert has become one of the most popular in the world, Stanard said. Future shows pay tribute to Creedence Clearwater Revival and Buddy Holly. “They’re enormously popular this year, and they’re in danger of selling out,” Stanard said. Stanard began the tribute series after hosting a show at Galt Airport featuring nine bands that paid tribute to the original performers at the famous 1969 Woodstock music festival. The festival was so popular, Stanard became a guru of tribute bands. “It’s an obscure body of knowledge I’ve acquired,” he said. Stanard saw the wide appeal of classic rock tribute bands. They must carry on the music of bands no longer performing or who do not perform as often, he said. Performances by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and the Boston Philharmonic aren’t much different, Stanard said. “If you think about it, these orchestras

And despite the fact that dancing in the aisles is not officially allowed at the Opera House, those at the Creedence tribute can’t help but get up off their seats, he said. “I don’t want to be disrespectful, but some of these bands I think are better than the originals,” he said.

Lisa Loeb

“No Fairy Tale” H 1/2 It turns out that one woman with the glasses who sang that “Stay” song in the ’90s is kind of a rocker. Lisa Loeb has been writing children’s books and music the last couple years, so putting out a rock album seems like a curious choice. Even more interesting is “No Fairy Tale” is co-produced by Chad Gilbert of pop punk/alternative rock band New Found Glory. The result is an album that’s stuck in the decade that made the now 44-year-old Loeb famous. Loeb doesn’t shy away from it either, considering she even gives us the song, “The ’90s.” Still, “No Fairy Tale” comes off sounding a bit dated. There’s a couple exceptions thanks to some outside songwriting help. “A Hot Minute” was penned by pop rock sisters Tegan and Sara Quin. Tegan even lends her voice to the track, making it one of the better tracks on this album. Unfortunately, the rest of “No Fairy Tale” is mostly straight up alt-rock seemingly plucked straight from the ’90s.

Ra Ra Riot “Beta Love” HHH Ra Ra Riot struggled to find its identity on its first two albums. The Syracuse, N.Y., outfit couldn’t figure out if it wanted to be a power-pop band or more of a laid-back indie rock act. “Beta Love” introduces yet another Ra Ra Riot persona, dance pop. And when compared with its past releases, this version of the band might be its best yet. Ra Ra Riot takes a few cues here from Passion Pit’s excellent 2012 album, “Gossamer.” The fun, bouncy beats are there on “Dance With Me” and “Binary Mind,” the first two tracks on the album. But Ra Ra Riot gets a little less bouncy and comes off as not as fun before this one is done. While it does take something away, it doesn’t completely ruin the album. “That Much” has some life to it thanks to some crafty guitar work near the track’s end. “Beta Love” signals a welcome change in sound for Ra Ra Riot’s music. Now, let’s see if they stick with this one.

FEATURED RELEASE Jim James, “Regions of Light and Sound of God”

HHH 1/2

“Regions of Light and Sound of God,” the full-length debut by My Morning Jacket’s Jim James, accomplishes two things. First, it gives insight into how much influence James has on My Morning Jacket’s music. That is apparently a sizable amount when considering how much of My Morning Jacket can be heard on this album. Sure, “Regions of Light and Sound of God” might not rock as hard as most My Morning Jacket releases, but you can’t help but feel the band’s presence seeping through on these tracks. At the same time, this album also establishes James’ identity as a solo artist. He takes a simple-yet-effective approach to his music. On the album-opening “State of the Art - A.E.I.O.U.,” James relies on dynamics to make an impact. The intensity in his voice continues to build with the music. “All Is Forgiven” follows a similar path. Other places on this album, James lets his musical influences shine a little brighter. The brilliantly written “A New Life” dips into a few different genres as James sings about starting a new life with a lover. As the story unfolds, we’re taken from folk rock into what’s almost a ’50s doo-wop vibe. James also gives R&B a try on “Know Til Now,” something that might not be totally surprising to My Morning Jacket fans if you’ve been listening closely in recent years. Then James somehow seamlessly pushes the song into a jazz solo near its end. The trip from one genre to the next on “Regions of Light and Sound of God” has James showing off his musical chops. It also helps keep this album from being a mere place holder until the next My Morning Jacket release.
