SNOWMOBILING SAFETY

‘WEIRDEST YEAR FOR ICE’

Wheeler’s deal: Be prudent Pension reform, taxes first, says rep in 64th By KEVIN P. CRAVER kcraver@shawmedia.com

t happens every winter: Snowmobilers brave what they believe is a frozen waterway in McHenry County and plunge through the ice. Before the latest snowfall, area police and fire departments had reported more than a dozen instances where snowmobilers tried and failed to cross or ride the icy waters. Mild weather combined

you just shouldn’t be out there because the waters just aren’t what they used to be,” said Dick Arseneau, trail master for the McHenry County Snowmobile Association. “We all make mistakes, but safety has to be the top priority.” As much as 6 inches of snow fell in some areas of the county this week, creating prime snowmobiling conditions on the more than 200 miles of trails in the county. Riding the trails requires

at least 4 inches of snow if the ground is frozen and 6 inches if it’s not. For waterways, at least 6 to 8 inches of ice is recommended. Determining whether water is frozen enough for snowmobiling is an ever changing process, said Dave Rudolph, president of the snowmobile association. “This is the weirdest year

FOX LAKE – Newly elected Republican state Rep. Barbara Wheeler’s office was easy to miss on a snowy Monday. She had just received the occupancy permit for her small, downtown district office, and the office sign would be coming later in the week. Most of her stuff was packed in cardboard boxes stacked on top of furniture handed down from the office of former Republican Rep. Sid Mathias, who lost his re-election bid in a separate race. “Wouldn’t you be mad if you walked into a state representative’s office that was lush, plush and paid for by the taxpayers’ dollars?” Wheeler said. Wheeler, a former McHenry County Board member who ran unopposed for the new 64th House District, said she hopes to bring similar austerity – spending less than you make and being frugal with what you do spend – to a General Assembly drowning in red ink. Under post-census redistricting, the 64th district

Ill. official’s letter, not law, key to road work By JOHN O’CONNOR The Associated Press

SPRINGFIELD – Gov. Pat Quinn’s administration said that when it comes to a boost in road construction this spring, follow the letter, not the law. A new law signed by the governor allows as much as $176 million to be taken out of a road construction fund. But in a letter to a top Senate Democrat, Transportation Secre-

tary Ann Schneider promises not to divert that much money from a $675 million plan for highway and bridge construction projects this year. On Thursday, Quinn approved a $ 1 . 5 b i l l i o n Gov. Pat s p e n d i n g p l a n Quinn that includes the construction projects – but it relies on taking millions from the

state’s road fund to cover health insurance costs for state road workers. Schneider concedes in her letter that taking the full amount allowed by the law “would have a significant impact” on how much patching and replacement could be done, but she promises that no more than $125 million would be diverted. The Illinois Department of Transportation determined it didn’t need the higher amount to cover the health care costs,

Quinn budget spokesman Abdon Pallasch added. Rekindling a decades-old debate about road-fund “diversions,” Republicans argued against the $1.5 billion spending plan before it was approved by the Senate. Republicans complained that it was flawed and rushed through without proper notification to taxpayers because

No worries, mon, after Super Bowl

I have been speaking it ever since the big game. It has slipped into my vocabulary like a piña into my colada. Yep, I’m talkin’ Jamaican, mon! It all happened during one of the commercial breaks, when I saw the Volkswagen ad about a man named Dave from Minnesota who is speaking in a Jamaican accent as he tries to cheer up his fellow officemates. From the guy in the elevator who hates Mondays to the boss at a depressing office meeting, this easygoing optimistic fellow bestows positive comments in Jamaican patois that eventually has them assuming the island accent, as well, with its accompanying smiles and cheerful attitude. I knew this ad would have an effect on me when immediately after the commercial I turned to my wife and said, “Hey, mon, would you be a-passin’ da chips me way?” She indulgently smiled and ignored me, somehow knowing that this was just the beginning of yet another journey of her husband into a moderately to severely annoying behavior pattern. I couldn’t wait for Monday to come.

8LOTTERY

JUST HUMOR ME Michael Penkava In fact, the next morning I was looking for something to go wrong just so I could slip into my positive Jamaican persona. So, as I sat at the table eating my bowl of Cheerios, I purposely spilled it into my lap so that I could happily announce to my wife, “No worries, mon, everyting will be all right!” She simply replied, “Don’t forget to put your pajamas in the wash,” as I countered with, “You know what this room needs? A smile!” As the day went on, I looked for excuses to slide into my newfound linguistic flair. I didn’t have to wait long. While preparing lunch, I saw my wife struggling to open a package of Swiss cheese. Seeing her frustration, I gave her some encouragement, telling her, “Don’t worry sister … the smelly cheese come soon.” I did enjoy the sandwich she made

for me. “Wicked sandwich, Mrs. Diane!” I called out to her, “I bet this is the best sandwich in the state of Illinois … the Land of Lincoln!” I’m not sure, but I think she tried to hide a hint of a grin as she walked away. Later she went downstairs to her project room. After a while, I went down to see how she was doing. She was sewing a quilt, but I noticed a look of exasperation on her face. I sneaked up behind her and whispered in her ear, “Diane … just turn that frown the other way around … we don’t need no clouds on a sunny day!” Again, I think she fought to suppress a smile. By this time, my accent was sounding pretty authentic. I even launched into song, walking around the house crooning the old Partridge Family melody in a Jamaican Cliff Richard accent, “Travelin’ along, there’s a song that we’re singing … come on, get happy!” I’m sure I even heard my wife humming the tune. I must admit that my days seemed a lot more happy and cheerful simply because of the way I was talking. Although she wasn’t outwardly showing

it, I think my wife was finally warming up to my newly honed dialectical prowess. But then something happened that rocked my Caribbean world. A few days later, I was watching a Chicago Blackhawks game and was loudly chewing out a player for making a poor pass when my wife peeked her head into the living room and called out to me, “Chill, Mr. Mike … r-r-r-respect the hockey mon.” Why, it would appear that my wife was actually beginning to talk the talk! Thus, the cool runnings of our lives are flowing more freely. Thanks to our Jamaican friends, we have learned to be a little more patient, a little more positive, a little more happy. So now I pass it on to you … Peace be the journey, reader mon!

Stella! Ornery dog leads to $1M Idaho lottery win SALT LAKE CITY – A group of University of Utah workers will split $1 million in lottery winnings thanks to a little dog named “Stella.” Twelve years after playing the same set of numbers every month in the Idaho lottery, the group of 33 workers who work on heating and cooling university buildings hit pay dirt when Steve Hughes left his truck running while he went inside a gas station. When he returned, his miniature pincher had locked him out. Hughes had planned to buy the ticket elsewhere but instead his girlfriend bought it there while he picked the lock.

After early start, worst of flu season may be over By MIKE STOBBE The Associated Press NEW YORK – The worst of the flu season appears to be over. The number of states reporting intense or widespread illnesses dropped again last week, and in a few states there was very little flu going around, U.S. health officials said Friday. The season started earlier than normal, first in the Southeast and then spreading. But now, by some measures,

flu activity has been ebbing for at least four weeks in much of the country. Flu and pneumonia deaths also dropped the last two weeks, the national Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported. “It’s likely that the worst of the current flu season is over,” CDC spokesman Tom Skinner said. But flu is hard to predict, he and others stressed, and there have been spikes late in the season in the past. For now, states such as Georgia and New York –

where doctor’s offices were jammed a few weeks ago – are reporting low flu activity. The hot spots are now the West Coast and Southwest. Among the places that have seen a drop: Lehigh Valley Hospital-Cedar Crest in Allentown, Pa., which put up a tent outside its emergency room last month to help deal with the steady stream of patients. There were about 100 patients each day back then. Now it’s down to 25 and the hospital may pack up its tent next week, said Terry Burger,

director of infection control and prevention for the hospital. “There’s no question that we’re seeing a decline,” she said. In early December, CDC officials announced flu season had arrived, a month earlier than usual. They were worried, saying it had been nine years since a winter flu season started like this one. That was 2003-04 – one of the deadliest seasons in the past 35 years, with more than 48,000 deaths.

Republican Rodney Davis gives his victory speech for the 13th Congressional District race Nov. 6 in Taylorville. A report released Friday by the Office of Congressional Ethics says the new GOP congressman is not cooperating with the investigation of U.S. Rep. Aaron Schock, also a Republican, and allegations that Schock violated campaign fundraising laws.

Report: Rodney Davis not cooperating in ethics investigation The ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHAMPAIGN – The office investigating U.S. Rep. Aaron Schock over allegations the Illinois Republican violated campaign fundraising laws said new GOP Congressman Rodney Davis isn’t cooperating with the probe. A report released Wednesday by the bipartisan Office of Congressional Ethics indicates Davis refused to cooperate, according to The (Champaign) News-Gazette. Davis is a Republican from Taylorville who took office this year. Schock is accused of soliciting a $25,000 contribution in March from House Majority Leader Eric Cantor’s political action committee for PAC backing of Rep. Adam Kinzinger.

Federal law prohibits contributions of more than $5,000. Schock has denied any wrongdoing. The report said Davis was the contact between Schock and several PACs. Davis was then part of U.S. Rep. John Shimkus’ staff and not yet a candidate for Congress. In a statement Friday, Davis emphasized that the report doesn’t accuse him of any wrongdoing. “This report is not focused on me and does not state, or even imply, that I did anything wrong,” Davis said in a statement emailed to The Associated Press. The Office of Congressional Ethics recommended that the House Committee on Ethics review the allegations, something it says it’s doing.

CHICAGO – An Illinois man has been accused of scamming hundreds of Chinese investors out of millions of dollars, the Securities and Exchange Commission announced Friday. The SEC alleges Anshoo R. Sethi, 29, created a company that claimed investors would be financing construction of the “World’s First Zero Carbon Emission Platinum LEED certified” hotel and conference center near Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport. The agency alleges Sethi fraudulently sold more $145 million in securities and $11 million in fees to more than 250 investors, most of them from China.

Sethi and his companies told investors they had acquired all of the necessary building permits and had signed on several major hotel chains, the SEC alleges. The SEC complaint, filed in U.S. District Court in Chicago, alleges Sethi submitted false claims about the project to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. The agency administers a program that enables foreign investors to possibly qualify for a green card if they invest $1 million in a project that creates or preserves at least 10 jobs for U.S. workers, excluding the investor and his or her immediate family. Sethi and his companies used the lure of a pathway to U.S. citizenship to persuade

State Fair announces more performances

TULSA, Okla. – An Illinois man suspected in a plot to firebomb dozens of Oklahoma churches last fall with Molotov cocktails is unstable and has battled bouts of mental disorders and depression throughout most of his life, his aunt said this week. Gregory Gregory Arthur Arthur Weiler II, 24, Weiler II of Elk Grove Village, is accused of planning to destroy 48 churches in northeastern Oklahoma and preparing to launch the attacks from a tiny motel where he was holed up near Interstate 44 in Miami, Okla. A federal grand jury indictment unsealed Wednesday charges Weiler with one count of possessing an unregistered, destructive device, a crime punishable by up to 10 years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000. He was arraigned Wednesday in a federal court in Tulsa and entered a not-guilty plea through his lawyer. The attorney did not return phone messages Thursday and Friday seeking comment.

SPRINGFIELD – The Illinois State Fair is adding more performances to its grandstand line-up – including the return of Styx and REO Speedwagon. State Fair Manager Amy Bliefnick announced that those classic rock groups will play an Aug. 10 show at the fairgrounds in Springfield. In a statement Friday, Bliefnick also announced that the fair has booked The Band Perry, country singer Billy Currington, Gary Allan and Thompson Square. The fair’s line-up already included country star Toby Keith and the cast of Million Dollar Quartet. Bliefnick said the fair is on its way to delivering the type of “top-notch” entertainment fairgoers expect. This year’s Illinois State Fair will be Aug. 8 to 18.

Quinn signs law to fast-track foreclosures CHICAGO – Gov. Pat Quinn has signed a new law that’s designed to speed up Illinois’ foreclosure process. The governor’s office said the law will help restore neighborhoods and property values by decreasing the time a home sits empty and getting properties back on the market. The foreclosure process now takes nearly two years, and the law is designed to shorten that to a few months. Quinn said the bill also will allow the state to invest in Illinois families by preventing foreclosures in the first place. The law, for example, will provide about $13 million each year for housing counseling assistance, which is designed to help 18,000 households struggling to keep their homes. The law takes effect June 1.

Attorney: Deal aids poisoned man’s widow CHICAGO – A lawyer who represents the widow of a Chicago man who was poisoned with cyanide after winning the lottery said most of the businessman’s $2 million estate should go to his client. The Chicago Sun-Times reported Thursday that attorney Al-Haroon Husain showed an agreement signed by Urooj Khan months before his death that names his Urooj Khan wife, Shabana Ansari, as benefactor for his interest in a dry-cleaning operation. The deal was signed May 2, 2012, said Husain, who is representing Ansari in a court case over the estate. Khan’s brother, Imtiaz Khan, called the agreement “nonsense.” Urooj Khan, 46, died July 20 as he was about to collect $425,000 in lottery winnings. His death initially was ruled a result of natural causes. But a relative whose identity remains a mystery asked for further tests that revealed in November that he had been poisoned.

It isn’t known whether he has obtained legal counsel. “Sethi orchestrated an elaborate scheme and exploited these investors’ dream of earning legal U.S. residence along with a positive return on their investment in a project that was not nearly the done deal that he portrayed,” said SEC associate director of enforcement Stephen L.

Snow storm hits NYC, Boston; up to 3 ft. feared By JAY LINDSAY The Associated Press

BOSTON â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A storm that forecasters warned could be a blizzard for the history books, with a potential for up to 3 feet of snow, clobbered the New York-to-Boston corridor on Friday, grounding flights, sending office workers home early and knocking out power to half a million customers across the Northeast. By Friday night, more than 18.5 inches of snow had fallen in parts of central Connecticut, and more than 16 inches covered parts of Mansfield, Mass., a half-hour drive southwest of Boston. Throughout the Northeast, more than

500,000 homes and businesses lost electricity as wet, heavy snow, freezing rain and howling winds caused havoc. Earlier, as meteorologists warned of the impending blizzard conditions, shoppers from New Jersey to Maine crowded into supermarkets and hardware stores to buy food, snow shovels, flashlights and generators, something that became a precious commodity after superstorm Sandy in October. Others gassed up their cars. Across much of New England, schools closed well ahead of the first snowflakes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a storm of major proportions,â&#x20AC;? Boston Mayor Thomas Menino said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Stay off the roads. Stay home.â&#x20AC;?

The wind-whipped snowstorm mercifully arrived at the start of a weekend, which meant fewer cars on the road and extra time for sanitation crews to clear the mess before commuters in the New Yorkto-Boston region of roughly 25 million people have to go back to work. But it could also mean a weekend cooped up indoors. Halfway through what had been a mild winter across the Northeast, blizzard warnings were posted from parts of New Jersey to Maine. The National Weather Service said Boston could get close to 3 feet of snow by this evening, while most of Rhode Island could receive more than 2 feet, most of it falling by today. Connecticut was bracing

for 2 feet, and New York City was expecting as much as 14 inches. East of New York City, nearly a foot of snow had fallen before midnight Friday. Early snowfall was blamed for a 19-car pileup in Cumberland, Maine, that caused minor injuries. Most of the regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s power outages were in Massachusetts and Rhode Island. Forecasters said wind gusts up to 75 mph could cause more widespread power outages and whip the snow into fearsome drifts. Flooding was expected along coastal areas still recovering from superstorm Sandy, which hit New York and New Jersey the hardest and is considered Jerseyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worst natural disaster.

Senators Hunt for ex-officer goes on amid Calif. storm seek pact on gun control By GREG RISLING and TAMI ABDOLLAH The Associated Press

Background checks in focus By ALAN FRAM The Associated Press

WASHINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A cornerstone of President Barack Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s drive to check gun violence is gathering bipartisan steam as four senators, including two of the National Rifle Associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s congressional champions, privately seek compromise on requiring far more firearms purchasers to undergo background checks. The talks are being held even as Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s call to ban assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines, the two other major pillars of his plan, are hitting rough waters on Capitol Hill. An agreement among the four senators to expand background checks would add impetus to that high-profile proposal by getting the endorsement of the bipartisan group. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get something, I hope. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m praying for it,â&#x20AC;? said Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., one of the participants. Manchin, a moderate Democrat, is an NRA member who aired a 2010 campaign ad in which he literally shot a hole through Democratic environmental legislation that Sen. Joe he pledged to Manchin oppose. D-WV Also involved is Sen. Tom Coburn, ROkla., another NRA member with a strong conservative record but occasional maverick Sen. Mark impulses; No. 3 Kirk Senate DemoR-IL cratic leader Charles Schumer of New York, a liberal; and moderate GOP Sen. Mark Kirk of Illinois. Background checks are required only for sales by the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 55,000 federally licensed gun dealers, but not for private purchases like those at gun shows, online or in person. There are few indisputable, up-to-date statistics on how many guns change hands without background checks, but a respected study using 1990s data estimated that 30 percent to 40 percent of gun transactions fit into that category. The senatorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; talks have included discussions about how to encourage states to make more mental health data available to the federal system for checking gun buyersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; records, according to people who spoke anonymously because they were not authorized to describe the private negotiations. They are also considering potential exemptions to expanded background check requirements, including transactions involving relatives or people with licenses to carry concealed weapons.

BIG BEAR LAKE, Calif. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; All that was left were footprints leading away from Christopher Dornerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s burned-out pickup truck, and enormous, snow-covered mountains where he could be hiding among hundreds of cabins, deep canyons and dense woods. More than 100 officers, including SWAT teams, were driven Friday in glass-enclosed snow machines and armored personnel carriers to hunt for the former Los Angeles police officer suspected of going on a deadly rampage to get back at those he blamed for ending his police career. With bloodhounds in tow, officers went door to door as snow fell, aware to the reality they could be walking into a trap set by the well-trained

team for the Pennsylvania State Police. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He can try to draw them into an ambush area where he backtracks.â&#x20AC;? As authorities weathered heavy snow and freezing temperatures in the mountains,

thousands of heavily armed police remained on the lookout throughout California, Nevada, Arizona and northern Mexico for a suspect bent on revenge and willing to die. Police said officers still were guarding more than 40 people mentioned as targets in a rant they said Dorner posted on Facebook. He vowed to use â&#x20AC;&#x153;every bit of small arms training, demolition, ordnance and survival training Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been givenâ&#x20AC;? to bring â&#x20AC;&#x153;warfareâ&#x20AC;? to the LAPD and its families. At noon, police and U.S. marshals accompanied by computer forensics specialists used a search warrant to remove about 10 paper grocery bags of evidence from his motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s single-story house in the Orange County city of La Palma. Dornerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother and sister cooperated with the search, a police spokes-

man said. The manhunt had Southern California residents on edge. Unconfirmed sightings were reported near Barstow, about 60 miles north of the mountain search, and in downtown Los Angeles. Some law enforcement officials said he appeared to be everywhere and nowhere, and speculated that he was trying to spread out their resources. For the time being, their focus was on the mountains 80 miles east of Los Angeles â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a snowy wilderness, filled with thick forests and jagged peaks, that creates peril as much for Dorner as the officers hunting him. Bad weather grounded helicopters with heat-sensing technology. After the discovery of his truck Thursday afternoon, SWAT teams in camouflage started scouring the mountains.

Lawmakers test legal waters Assisted suicide remains on for regulating drone strikes legal agenda for some states The ASSOICATED PRESS WASHINGTON – Lawmakers are considering whether Congress should set up a special court to decide when drones can kill American al-Qaida suspects overseas, much as a secret court now grants permission for surveillance. The effort, after CIA Director-designate John Brennan’s vigorous defense of a drone attack that killed U.S. citizens, reflects a philosophical struggle in government over remote warfare. The chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, Dianne Feinstein of California, spelled it out at the start of Brennan’s confirmation hearing Thursday. She declared that she intended to review proposals for “legislation to ensure that drone strikes are carried out in a manner consistent with our values and the proposal to create an analogue of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court to review the conduct

Angus King Jr., in a letter Friday to senior leaders of the panel, suggested an “independent process similar to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court – to provide an appropriate check on the executive branch’s procedure for determining whether using lethal force in a foreign country against a People’s bodies change over time, but most of the time, their mattresses don’t. The result? Back and joint problems, poor sleep, stress and fatigue caused by lack of proper rest. But Ray Westman, owner of the Verlo Mattress Factory Stores in Crystal Lake, McHenry and Lake Geneva, is committed to helping customers find healthy, restful sleep, not only when their Verlo Mattress is brand new, but also when it’s years old. “Everyone changes and it’s not realistic to think you’re going to need exactly the same kind of mattress ten years from now that you need today. What we custom build for you now, can be adjusted or repaired to fit your needs in the future,” Westman said. Specializing in custom-built sleep systems, Wisconsin-based Verlo Mattress was founded in 1958 and now has more than forty franchise locations. Westman has been with Verlo Mattress since 1985, and purchased his first Verlo store in 1994. He now owns three showrooms, and a production facility in McHenry. In a time when mattresses are sold at big box and discount stores, in addition to mattress retailers, Westman is proud to offer something more than the typical cookie-cutter approach. “Your body, your comfort needs and sleep habits all influence the kind of sleep set we build for you,” he said. Your perfect sleep begins at the Verlo

U.S. citizen would be lawful.” In surveillance proceedings, 11 federal judges review wiretap applications that enable the FBI and other agencies to gather evidence to build cases. Suspects have no lawyers present, as they would in other U.S. courts, and the proceedings are secret. The government presents its case to a judge, who issues a warrant or doesn’t. The notion of something similar for drone strikes drew immediate criticism from human rights and legal groups, which contend that such a court must allow the accused to mount a defense. “It’s not about evidence gathering, it’s about punishment to the point of execution,” said Mary Ellen O’Connell, professor of international law at the University of Notre Dame and a critic of the government’s drone program. “We have never thought people could be executed without some kind of trial.” showroom, or online with the Verlo Virtual Craftsman. “We’ll discuss who is using the mattress, a single person or a couple, a child or a teen, your preferred sleeping position, back or neck issues, and firmness preference. Often, the craftsman who will build your mattress is the person helping you on the sales floor,” Westman said. Using top quality materials, trained craftsmen construct your sleep system locally, the day before it is delivered. Bucking the trend toward shorter-life no-flip mattresses, Verlo still builds two-sided mattresses, something informed, quality-conscious customers appreciate. “The people who buy from us understand the continuing value of a customdesigned locally built product,” Westman said. In addition to innerspring mattresses, Verlo also carries Visco Foam, Gel Foam, VerloAIRE beds, sleep accessories to complete your custom sleep system, adjustable beds and futon sofa sleepers in a wide variety of styles. In a tight economy, Westman understands that customers’ budgets are stretched tighter than ever before. “Because customers have less disposable income, the reality means that we’re competing against other needs, ranging from a new refrigerator to car repair. Fortunately, our industry has done an excellent job of educating consumers on the importance of a good night’s sleep,” he said.

By SUSAN HAIGH The Associated Press HARTFORD, Conn. – A push for the legalization of physician-assisted suicide is under way in a half-dozen states where proponents say they see strong support for allowing doctors to prescribe mentally competent, dying individuals with the medications needed to end their own lives. The large number of baby boomers facing end-of-life issues themselves has made the issue more prominent in recent years. Groups such as Compassion & Choices, a national endof-life advocacy organization, have been working to advance the cause. Advocates received a boost from last year’s ballot question in Massachusetts on whether to allow physicians to help the terminally ill die. Although the vote failed, it helped spark a national discussion, said

“The Massachusetts initiative lifted the consciousness of the nation and in particular the Northeast region to this issue that there are other alternatives patients and their families should have an opportunity to access.” Mickey MacIntyre Chief program officer for Compassion & Choices Mickey MacIntyre, chief program officer for Compassion & Choices. “The Massachusetts initiative lifted the consciousness of the nation and in particular the Northeast region to this issue that there are other alternatives patients and their families should have an oppor-

tunity to access,” MacIntyre said. Bills legalizing assisted suicide are being considered in Connecticut, Vermont, New Jersey, Kansas and Hawaii – and in Massachusetts, where proponents decided to resume their efforts after the public vote, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures, which tracks legislative trends. There are also bills related to the issue under consideration in New Hampshire, New York, Arizona and Montana. In Connecticut, which has banned the practice since 1969, a group of lawmakers said Tuesday that the legislature’s first public hearing on the subject probably would be this month. At least two bills on the issue have been proposed in this year’s session of the Connecticut legislature. If the General Assembly votes to legalize the practice, it would be the first state legislature to do so.

Hacker gains access to Bush family emails Secret Service investigating breach By MICHAEL GRACZYK The Associated Press

HOUSTON – Turns out even former presidents can fall prey to hackers. A mysterious email hacker apparently accessed private photos and messages sent between members of the Bush family, including both retired commanders in chief. The Secret Service is investigating the breach, which appeared to yield little more than a few snapshots and some family discussions. But the incident illustrated how easily hackers can pry into private lives, even those of one of the nation’s most prominent and closely guarded political clans. The Smoking Gun website displayed photos it said came from the hacker, including one that purported to show the elder Bush during his recent stay in a Houston hospital, where the 88-year-old spent almost two months undergoing treatment for complications from a bronchial infection. The website said the hacker, who went by the online moniker “Guccifer,” gained access to the material through Bush family members and friends. That could have made George W. Bush and George H.W. Bush vulnerable, even if they have the finest security that technology can provide. A friend or relative who clicked on a deceptive link or unwittingly downloaded a suspicious program might accidentally have exposed correspondence involving the former presidents. “We can’t control what our friends do,” said Dan Wallach, manager of Rice University’s

computer security lab and a computer science professor at the Houston school. “If my friends post a photo of me on Facebook, I can untag myself, but I can’t delete it. It’s not my photo. And that’s just a general-purpose problem.” Reached by email, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush called the hacking “outrageous.” The rest of the family stayed quiet. “There’s a criminal investigation and, as such, there’s nothing else we can say,” said Jim McGrath, a spokesman for George H.W. Bush in Houston. Freddy Ford, a spokesman for George W. Bush, who has a home in Dallas, declined to comment. Free email accounts from commercial providers are especially vulnerable to hackers who exploit easy-to-use features to reset email passwords. Many passwords can be reset by a hacker who discovers, for example, the birth year of a person’s mother, a father’s middle name or the name of a favorite pet. That’s what happened to former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin in 2008, when she was the Republican vice presidential candidate. “That’s the first thing I thought of,” said Tyler Moore, an assistant professor of computer science at Southern Methodist University in Dallas. “The key here is when you’re famous or a wellknown person or celebrity, there’s not a lot you can do if you’re targeted.” A Tennessee college student named David Kernell was convicted two years later on federal charges in the Palin case.

Ohio Amish beard-cutting ringleader gets 15 years

CLEVELAND – The ringleader in hair- and beard-cutting attacks on fellow Amish in Ohio was sentenced Friday to 15 years in prison and 15 family members received sentences of one year to seven years. “The victims were terrorized and traumatized,” U.S. District Court Judge Dan Aaron Polster said in sentencing leader Sam Mullet Sr., 67, who sat without emotion. The judge said the defendants had violated the constitutional rights protecting religious practice that had benefited them as Amish – such as an exemption from jury service and allowing Amish children to leave school at age 14. “Each of you has received the benefits of that First Amendment,” Polster said. The judge said the defendants have two weeks to file appeals of their sentences or convictions.

Locals: Mali bomber tied to terror leader

GAO, Mali – A young militant who locals said had ties with terror leader Moktar Belmoktar blew himself up Friday near a military checkpoint on the outskirts of Gao, fueling fears of a looming insurgency by the jihadists who fled into the nearby desert just two weeks ago. The suicide attack, the first of its kind since the Frenchled mission began in January, highlights the challenges that remain despite the retaking of northern Mali’s largest town by French and Malian forces nearly two weeks ago. They faced little resistance in initially recapturing Gao, although the discovery of industrial-strength explosives and Friday’s bombing suggest the Islamic radicals are far from

defeated. Residents of Gao on Friday described the suicide bomber, who killed only himself, as an 18-year-old Arab man who spoke French well and had lived in the town for about seven months in a house known as a jihadist hideout. They said he was known by the name Al Farouk. Boubacar Armou, the guard who watched over the home since last year said Belmoktar had visited it as recently as three months ago. The Algerian national who has long operated in Mali, claimed responsibility for the attack on a BP-operated natural gas plant in Algeria.

Rare Afghan fashion show seeks to empower women KABUL, Afghanistan – Afghan models paraded down a candlelined catwalk Friday as men and women watched from the audience in a restaurant off a muddy street in Kabul. The rare fashion show in this war-weary capital was a small production but a big idea – part of an Afghan group’s efforts to empower women by breaking down barriers in this highly conservative Muslim society. “The situation always gets tougher and tougher every day by day, but we should not back down. We are here to move on and move forward, so I think if women step up and they show up in this field, I think they will do a good job,” said Shahar Banoo Zeerak, the designer whose clothes were featured in the show. The idea of women on display remains mostly taboo in Afghanistan more than a decade after the 2001 U.S. assault that ousted the Taliban from power after a five-year reign of terror by the fundamentalist movement.

Tunisia buries politician; leader seeking cohesion The ASSOCIATED PRESS

TUNIS, Tunisia – The funeral of an assassinated leftist politician drew hundreds of thousands of mourners chanting anti-government slogans to the Tunisian capital Friday – as well as gangs of armed youths who smashed cars and clashed with police just outside the cemetery. Hours later, the prime minister insisted he’d try to form a new government despite his own party’s opposition, threatening to resign if his proposal wasn’t accepted. The events added to the growing turmoil in Tunisia, where the transition from dictatorship to democracy has been shaken by religious divides, political wrangling and economic struggles. It’s been a perilous stretch for a country many hoped would be a model for other post-revolution Arab states. People from across the nation flowed into Tunis to lay to rest 48-year-old Chokri Belaid, a lawyer and top figure in the Popular Front alliance

who was shot dead Wednesday. Thousands helped carry the coffin of the so-called “defender of the poor” from his parents’ home to the Jellaz Cemetery a few kilometers away. The funeral “was one of the most impressive in the history of Tunisia,” historian Slahhedine Jourchi said, as demonstrators marched and chanted against the ruling Islamists. The turnout at the funeral was boosted by a general strike called by Tunisia’s most powerful labor union in honor of Belaid.

Hamma Hammami of the Tunisian Workers Party gave a eulogy as Belaid’s friends and relatives wept. “Sleep well, Chokri. We will continue the fight,” the leftist leader promised as the acrid smell of tear gas from the clashes near the cemetery invaded the air. Tunisians overthrew their long-ruling dictator Zine El Abidine Ben Ali in January 2011, kicking off the Arab Spring revolutions. In the two years since, a moderate Islamist party, Ennahda, won elections and has governed in a coalition with two secular parties.

Rebels shut down Damascus highway By BEN HUBBARD The Associated Press

BEIRUT – Rebels pushed forward in their battle with the Syrian army in Damascus on Friday, clashing with regime soldiers in contested neighborhoods in the northeast and shutting down a key highway out of the capital with a row of burning tires, activist said. In Geneva, the U.N. refugee agency said there has been a huge increase in the number of people fleeing Syria, with 5,000 refugees crossing the borders daily into neighboring countries. Agency spokesman Adrian Edwards said

Friday the mass exodus “is really a full-on crisis right at the moment.” The latest fighting in Damascus, some of the heaviest to hit the city since July, began Wednesday with a series of rebel attacks on regime checkpoints along the main road from Damascus to northern Syria. Opposition fighters and government forces have been clashing in the area since, and regime troops have also responded by shelling a number of rebel-held districts nearby. The violence has brought the civil war that has destroyed entire neighborhoods of other Syrian cities closer to

the heart of the capital, which has mostly been spared heavy fighting. Still, the offensive did not appear to be coordinated with rebels on other sides of Damascus and it was unclear whether the rebels would be able to hold their ground. Both the rebels and the regime of President Bashar Assad consider the fight for Damascus the most likely endgame in a civil war that already has killed more than 60,000. The government controls movement in and out of the heavily defended city with a network of checkpoints, and rebels have failed so far to make significant inroads.

Wheeler’s main concern is state’s five pension systems U.S. orders shutdown wHEElER of bus company in crash •Continued from page A1 The ASSoCiATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES – Federal regulators on Friday ordered a tour bus operator involved in a Southern California crash that killed eight people to immediately stop operating because its buses weren’t properly maintained or inspected and its drivers weren’t properly vetted for qualifications. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration said in a statement that it ordered all three buses operated by National City, Calif.-based Scapadas Magicas LLC in the U.S. to stop operating because they pose an imminent hazard to public safety. The roadworthiness of the

1996 bus involved in the Feb. 3 crash has been in doubt after the driver said the brakes failed before it smashed into a sedan, flipped, slammed into a pickup and crashed on a road in the San Bernardino Mountains east of Los Angeles. The bus was carrying 38 people, including the driver and a tour guide, to Tijuana, Mexico. Regulators said Friday that a post-crash investigation of the company’s two other buses that had been operating in the U.S. found serious mechanical safety violations. Inspectors said the company failed to have its vehicles regularly inspected before the deadly crash.

Supporters of projects worried • RoAD woRK

Continued from page A1 majority Democrats waived a legislative rule requiring six days for public review before a floor vote and called the legislation 48 hours after House approval. “Why do we need to rely on their word for that?” Sen. Matt Murphy, R-Palatine, asked after the Senate’s 38-15 vote. “Why don’t you just rewrite the bill and do it properly and do it the way the Legislature intends?”

Supporters of the road projects were worried, too. But they pushed for quick action on the plan so paperwork could be completed in order to have projects ready to go when solicitations for contractors begin in March. The sponsor, Sen. Dan Kotowski, said lawmakers had to move “expeditiously” and didn’t have time to rewrite the bill. “I applaud the secretary of transportation for publicly writing a letter indicating the fact they’re only going to spend what they need,” the Park Ridge Democrat said.

Rain, warmer temps, low water contribute to poor ice conditions • Snowmobiling

Continued from page A1

for ice,” he said. “I would advise everyone to stay off the ice because some areas are good, but other places that normally have the ice don’t. There is no real way to measure it.” Rainfall, warmer-than-normal temperatures and low water levels contribute to poor ice, he said. So far this season, two snowmobiles went into the Fox River on the southwest side of Burtons Bridge when ice extended 200 feet from shore but there was more than 400 feet of open water. And two riders on a snowmobile fell into the water trying to cross Wonder Lake. “I’ve been up here for 14 winters and have yet to see one winter without snowmobiles in the water,” said Capt. Brett Scroggins of the Illinois Department of Natural Resources Conservation Police. “The ice is unpredictable. It’s never worth the risk.” The chance of serious injury in plunging through ice isn’t the only thing riders have to worry about – it could put a serious dent in their pocketbook. IDNR police an impose serious penalties and fines. “There are instances when someone is on the ice and it’s

purely accidentally,” Scroggins said. “If they cooperate, get the snowmobile removed, and do what they should, no enforcement is generally taken.” But when investigators determine that drivers intentionally cross open water or operate in an area where it is obvious that they will go on the water, they can be charged with misdemeanor careless operation of a snowmobile and environmental crimes if they do not have the snowmobile properly removed from the waterway. Those charges carry fines above the cost of removing a snowmobile from the water, and “can really add up,” Scroggins said. “We try and concentrate our efforts to people intentionally going over open water.” Traveling across the water is not illegal. But snowmobilers who attempt it should test the ice beforehand, travel in a single-file line and not speed across the surface, officials advise. In most cases, a rider’s best bet is to avoid waterways entirely, they said. “You just shouldn’t be out there,” Arseneau said. “That is why our association works so hard to maintain the land trails, so you don’t have to go on the water.” For information about the daily conditions of the trails, call 815-334-1669.

shifted north, covering eastern McHenry and northwestern Lake counties. It starts in Crystal Lake – which is split under the new maps into three House districts – and generally follows the Chain O’ Lakes north to the Wisconsin border. It includes all or parts of Bull Valley, Spring Grove, Wonder Lake, Johnsburg, Lake Villa and Lindenhurst. Wheeler’s district and the 63rd District represented by Democratic Rep. Jack Franks are paired with the 32nd Senate District represented by Republican Sen. Pam Althoff. Wheeler’s largest concern, she said, is the state’s ballooning unfunded liability for its five pension systems, which stands at $96 billion – or $200 billion depending on how you count – and is growing by an

estimated $17 million a day. That debt, not counting the $9 billion the state owes in unpaid bills, has her worried that the temporary incometax increase set to start expiring in 2015 won’t be temporary after all. “I’m very concerned it will become permanent,” said Wheeler, who said she would vote against making the increase permanent. Democratic lawmakers in the 2011 lame-duck session, without a single Republican vote, raised the state income tax 67 percent on individuals and 46 percent on businesses. Almost all of the revenues from the tax, which lawmakers sold as an effort to pay down the bill backlog, instead have been swallowed by the state’s pension obligations for teachers, state employees, college teachers, judges and state lawmakers. Lawmakers need to tackle pension reform immediately

and not wait until the last days of the spring session at the end of May to try to hammer out a closed-door deal, Wheeler said. She said there are enough working parts from various attempts to fix the system that could result in a plan to return the state to solvency. “But based on historical action, I think we’ll be waiting until May. Do we have to? No. That would be criminal,” Wheeler said. Wheeler said a number of her committee assignments, such as transportation and elementary and secondary education, will help her address other priorities. A former seventh-grade teacher at Wauconda Middle School, Wheeler said she wants to fight to end state unfunded mandates to local governments. And having grown up in Lake County and served on the McHenry County Board, she said she wants to

steer more state money to local road improvements, such as Route 31 and the decadesold plan to extend Route 53. “For years, McHenry and Lake counties send their tax dollars to the state and we see little back,” Wheeler said. She has filed a consumer protection bill making it illegal to put a surcharge on credit card transactions, as well as a bill capping salaries of appointees to boards and commissions at $20,000 and making them ineligible for health benefits. While the Democratic Party now holds supermajorities in both houses, Wheeler said she anticipates that she and other Republicans will be able to get some things done, and that both sides can work together. “Am I being naive? Maybe I am. But I’d rather lean toward naive rather than being cynical the first month out,” Wheeler said.

Stop asking for more

Lather, rinse, repeat. That’s the cycle lawmakers seem stuck in when it comes to introducing legislation: Find an old proposal that went nowhere, clean it off, and present it like it’s something grand to behold. The latest example is the measure introduced in Springfield to amend the Illinois Constitution to allow for a graduated income tax based on earnings rather than the current flat tax. It’s a proposal made with almost every new General Assembly. It gets crushed, if it even gets called for a vote. Co-sponsor Rep. Naomi Jakobsson, DUrbana, said the current tax system is unfair and doesn’t produce enough revenue. She said many taxpayers likely would see a decrease under a graduated system. Others – including area state Reps. Jack Franks, D-Marengo, Barbara Wheeler, R-Crystal Lake, and David McSweeney, R-Barrington Hills – are not convinced a graduated tax would mean lower bills for most residents. Jakobsson hopes the state’s financial mess – the nearly $100 billion in unfunded pension obligations and more than $9 billion in unpaid bills — serves as the impetus that moves the amendment forward this time. We continue to hope the state’s growing financial disaster would be the catalyst for lawmakers to realize it’s time to craft different solutions than recycling tired ideas that go nowhere. That’s because there’s more than one “repeat” in this cycle. Lawmakers are again looking for new revenue instead of sharpening their cutting knives because of their consistent inability to manage the state’s money with even an iota of common sense. Case in point: Democrats approved the largest tax increase in state history in January 2011, raising tax rates 67 percent on individuals and 46 percent on businesses. The new income was supposed to pay unpaid bills, but almost all of it goes toward pension obligations. The state’s current backlog of unpaid bills is worse than it was when the tax increase was approved. So lawmakers are, yet again, trying to squeeze more money from overburdened taxpayers instead of prioritizing spending and making cuts. Since lawmakers seem to like repetition, we’ll repeat ourselves too. Make cuts. Pay your bills. Find solutions to the pension crisis. Stop spending like you have bottomless state coffers to dip into. But until you can prove that you can manage what you already have, and are willing to try something different than the status quo, don’t keep asking for more of the same.

Unbalanced support One dispiriting lesson from Chuck Hagel’s nomination for defense secretary is the extent to which the political space for discussing Israel forthrightly is shrinking. Republicans focused on Israel more than anything during his confirmation hearing, but they weren’t seeking to understand his views. All they cared about was bullying him into a rigid position on Israel policy. Enforcing that kind of orthodoxy is not in either America’s or Israel’s interest. The sad truth is that there is more honest discussion about American-Israeli policy in Israel than in this country. Too often in the United States, supporting Israel has come to mean meeting narrow ideological litmus tests. The New York Times

8IT’S YOUR WRITE Solidarity with children

To the Editor: The Crystal Lake Kiwanis Club’s Santa Run for Kids was a very successful event last December that helped to benefit many local charities. Families were able to get involved in something healthy and have fun doing it together. Now is your chance to get involved again to benefit children all over the country fighting pediatric cancer. This year, our club is holding its fourth annual St. Baldrick’s event at McHenry County College. Members of our club and the community will be shaving their heads on March 15 in solidarity with children who have cancer and typically lose their hair during treatment, while raising money for childhood cancer research. I am honored to be a volunteer for this event for the fourth year and invite you to join us. Losing some hair, which will grow back, giving up a few hours of time volunteering, or supporting the cause with a donation of money, goods or services is a small sacrifice compared with a child losing a battle with cancer and a family losing a precious loved one. Our small sacrifices can make a major contribution in the fight against pediatric cancer. Visit www.kiwaniscrystallake. com or join us at one of our lunch meetings to find out how you can help make a difference. It’s an hour of your time, and you need to eat, right? We meet on the second and fourth Wednesdays of the month at noon at the Crystal Lake Country Club. I hope I see you there.

To the Editor: Like many others who attended the recent McHenry Zoning Board meeting, I am vehemently opposed to the construction of a gas station/convenience store at Richmond Road and Pearl Street, directly across from St. Mary’s Church and Montini School. Besides the increased traffic danger to school children crossing the coming expansion of Richmond Road, this residential area has historical significance worth preserving, and there is already considerable traffic backup at the fire station intersection nearby. It always is good to hear that a new business wants to establish itself in McHenry, but this particular location requires one that will not add constant in-and-out traffic to the existing presence of children, school buses, teachers, crossing guards, emergency vehicles, a bank drive-in, neighborhood residents, and two stoplights close by. Also, there is an easily accessible gas station a short drive north in the commercial district. It’s about location, location, location. Please find a more suitable site.

I, for one, will not consume more of these products. If I choose to purchase items at this location, it will be at a loss to other established businesses in the city. Nothing is gained for McHenry. Now let us examine what is lost. We could see the closing of existing gas stations and convenient stores. The increased traffic at this site with its estimated 190 cars an hour will negatively impact this intersection, surrounding intersections (Routes 31 and 120; 120 and Green Street) and surrounding neighborhoods. The intersection of Pearl and Green will require a traffic light to accommodate increased traffic; 70-80 percent of customers must use the Pearl Street entrance. This would decrease the enjoyment of community events held at Veterans Park a block east. Traffic would increase along Washington and Pearl streets as commuters attempt to find a way around the bottleneck. There must be a better-suited location for this business model. Residents of McHenry, please contact your aldermen. They are elected to represent our voice in the community. Beth A. Taylor McHenry

Media double standard in reaction to Obama’s drone tactics?

An unsigned and undated Justice Department white paper, obtained by NBC News, reports The New York Times, “... is the most detailed analysis yet to come into public view regarding the Obama legal team’s views about the lawfulness of killing, without a trial, an American citizen who executive branch officials decide is an operational leader of al-Qaida or one of its allies.” The proviso is they must pose “an imminent threat of violent attack against the United States.” If “an informed, high-level official” of the government decides they are a threat, the paper says, and if capture is not feasible, they may be killed. There hasn’t been a huge outcry from those on the left who attacked President George W. Bush for his doctrine of pre-emptive strikes against terrorists. Recall, too, the

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

vitriol directed at Vice President Dick Cheney for defending “enhanced interrogation” techniques on suspected terrorists in order to obtain information that might prevent new attacks against Americans. The unclassified paper comes from the Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel, which according to the Times, provided justification for killing the radical Muslim cleric Anwar al-Awlaki. Awlaki, born in New Mexico, was killed in an American drone strike in September 2011. The white paper cites a national right to self-defense in wartime, but goes a step further. As summarized by The New York Times: “[It] emphasizes that the decision to kill a citizen in certain circumstances is not one in which courts should play any role, asserting

VIEWS Cal Thomas that judges should not restrain the executive branch in making tactical judgments about when to use force against a senior al-Qaida leader.” Weren’t some conservatives who made the same argument during the Bush administration criticized in certain newspaper editorials, and by liberal commentators and the Hollywood elite? The white paper says that if a target poses an imminent threat to the U.S., and cannot be captured, the strike “would be conducted in a manner consistent with applicable law of war principles.” It goes on to read, “A lawful killing in self-defense is not an assassination. In the

8THE FIRST AMENDMENT

Department’s view, a lethal operation conducted against a U.S. citizen whose conduct poses an imminent threat ... would be a legitimate act of national self-defense that would not violate the assassination ban.” The American Civil Liberties Union has been consistent with the Bush and Obama administrations. It strongly – and wrongly in my view – criticized Bush for his antiterrorism policies. Reacting to the publication of the white paper, Hina Shamsi, director of the ACLU’s National Security Project, called it “a profoundly disturbing document.” “It’s hard to believe,” she added, “that it was produced in a democracy built on a system of checks and balances.” She characterized it as “... a stunning overreach of executive authority.” She may have a point. One that should be debated in Congress.

Appropriate committees should invite or, if necessary, subpoena the person, or persons, who wrote the document. U.S. citizens should know what kind of action constitutes “imminent threat.” At present, the government’s definition is a little cryptic. Given the way some criminal lawyers have “gamed” the U.S. court system to free hardened criminals, the president might be justified in this approach, but the larger question of how much authority he should be allowed to have in these circumstances and whether U.S. citizenship alone should be enough to guarantee due process when there is substantial evidence someone is involved in plots to kill other Americans, is a subject worthy of congressional consideration.

No ‘gunfire’ in high school drills ‘Code Red’ lockdowns Tuesday at CL Central, Prairie Ridge By JIM DALLKE jdallke@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – Two Crystal Lake high schools are scheduled to conduct “code red” lockdown drills Tuesday, but they will not include simulated gunfire that caused so much controversy in a similar drill last month at Cary-Grove High School. Objections from some parents about the use of starter pistols in the Cary-Grove drill made headlines locally and led to media coverage in Chicago and the nation. Crystal Lake Central and Prairie Ridge are the final two District 155 high schools to participate in the

drill, which was planned in the fall. In letters to parents, both schools specifically mentioned that “simulated gunfire” will not be a part of the lockdown. The emphasis is to inform students of the “bare essential elements of the code red lockdown,” District 155 spokesman Jeff Puma said. Puma said Cary-Grove’s choice to use simulated gunfire did not factor into the decision by Central and Prairie Ridge officials. Crystal Lake police officers will be at both schools Tuesday for the drills. Teachers will secure classrooms, draw curtains and there will

Lakemoor clings to subdivision lawsuit Goes after funds to finish Rockwell Place By EMILY K. COLEMAN ecoleman@shawmedia.com LAKEMOOR – The village will continue to press the courts in the hope of finishing roads and the storm sewer system in the Rockwell Place subdivision, Village Administrator David Alarcon said. The subdivision off Route 120 east of Lakemoor has sat unfinished since the developer, Kirk Homes,

went bankrupt in 2009. About 150 lots sit vacant and some of the subdivision’s 132 town houses and 90-plus single-family homes are vacant and in foreclosure. Village officials this week met with about 25 residents to update them on a lawsuit filed in November 2011 against two insurance companies that Alarcon said have refused to make payment on performance bonds issued to ensure the comple-

tion of public improvements in the subdivision. There was a hearing Wednesday in the suit against Bond Safeguard Insurance Co. and American Southern Insurance Co., but because the case is ongoing, the village cannot comment in detail, Alarcon said. He stressed that the village is pursuing all options to finish the public improvements. Rockwell Place residents also used the meeting as an opportunity to discuss a neighborhood association.

Speed is surprise of storm McHenry and Lake ‘got the worst of it’ By LAWERENCE SYNETT lsynett@shawmedia.com

Snowplow and salt truck drivers worked hours past midnight Thursday to clear the county’s roads and thoroughfares of a major snowfall. The storm brought 4 to 6 inches of snow to much of the area, the National Weather Service said. The winter storm came sooner and faster than some expected, and “once the trouble started, it was too late. Even our guys got caught up in some traffic last night,” Don Kopsell, the Nunda Township Highway Department commissioner, said Friday. “Nothing you can do when that happens.” Meteorologists were surprised, too. Looking back, the weather service’s Stephen Rodriguez said, “The big question yesterday was when the change from rain to snow was going to occur, and it happened much quicker

LAKEWOOD: STATE OF THE VILLAGE ADDRESS

New Lakewood village hall called a priority By CHELSEA McDOUGALL cmcdougall@shawmedia.com

CRYSTAL LAKE – A new village hall is a priority for Lakewood officials, the village’s president, Erin Smith, said in the annual State of the Village address Friday. An analysis found there was a need to upgrade the police facilities and Village Hall, she said. The village intends to re-

locate to village-owned property on Haligus Road, but first must complete surveying of the site and land studies, Smith said. At its monthly

meeting Tuesday, the Village Board will vote on hiring a surveyor for $4,000. It’s still unclear exactly how the village will pay for a new hall, but Smith said it has ample reserves and could sell the existing Village Hall as a down payment. Current estimates for a new hall are in the $3 million to $4 million range, but Smith said that included all the bells and whistles, and she expected the cost to be

much lower. Alternate revenue bonds were ruled out as a funding option, Smith said after Friday’s luncheon. That kind of funding dedicates an alternate revenue source to repay the bonds. If projections are off, taxpayers are the backstop for the loan. Those bonds were used in the early 1990s to buy Lakewood’s RedTail Golf Course, but taxpayers ended up foot-

ing the bill when golf course fees couldn’t repay the debt. “We are not considering alternate revenue bonds, period,” Smith said. “We’re not willing to put our residents’ taxes on the line to get a better rate.” Also during her speech, Smith reported that residential development is turning around. After years of being flat, there have been seven housing starts, and four hous-

es are under construction. She said she hoped the village can piggyback on a new Huntley hospital to continue that growth. “Residential housing is picking up, and we’re very pleased to see that,” Smith said. She also highlighted a referendum for electrical aggregation that she said will save residents an estimated $350 a year on their electric bills.

WALTER HUFFAR

Born: April 5, 1928; in Clinton, Wis. Died: Feb. 3, 2013; in Viroqua, Wis.

VIOLA, Wis. – Walter Huffar, 84, of Viola, formerly of Woodstock, passed away Sunday, Feb. 3, 2013, at Vernon Manor in Viroqua, Wis.

He worked in the construction industry in McHenry when they lived in Woodstock. He loved traveling, camping, hiking with grandchildren, collecting antiques and just being with family and friends. Family was most important to him.

Route 31 problem spot • STORM

Continued from page B1 than we anticipated. Everything evolved rapidly, and Lake and McHenry counties got the worst of it.” Kopsell said he was surprised his department didn’t receive a call from the Illinois Department of Transportation for help in clearing Route 31 between Crystal Lake and McHenry, which was closed in late afternoon and early evening Thursday

because drivers had trouble negotiating the hill. “We have done that road before and Route 176 for the state. They reimburse us for that,” Kopsell said. Calls to the McHenry County Department of Transportation and the Illinois Department of Transportation were not returned Friday. “Our guys had little problems around midnight with trees coming down,” Kopsell said. “But other than that, things went smoothly.”

City eyes more road projects • MAYOR

Continued from page B1 “That’s something to be proud of,” Shepley said. The city’s economic development incentive programs were key in filling 1 million square feet of vacant space over the past two years, he said. “We’re going to keep our eye on the ball, and we’re going to continue to fill spaces on Route 14 and elsewhere.” Looking forward, the mayor said he intends to continue that momentum and that economic development will be a priority in the coming year. Building on last year’s

road projects – including Rakow, Walkup, Briarwood roads, Route 176 and Crystal Lake Avenue – the city is eyeing other projects. McHenry Avenue from Route 14 to Rakow Road will be a major capital project this year. Additionally, the mayor touched on future state projects at Routes 176 and 31, and widening Route 14 to Woodstock. The city also has targeted bike lanes this year and plans to add more similar to those on Dole Avenue leading to Main Beach. Shepley also lauded Three Oaks Recreation Area, which saw a 10 percent increase in visitors year over year, he said.

C-G High School held drill Jan. 30 • DRILLS

Continued from page B1 be a sweep of the buildings to ensure all students are in a secure location. The drills will last 15 to 20 minutes. On Jan. 30, Cary-Grove High School participated in the lockdown drill. Two starter pistols were fired in hallways – each one time – to familiarize students with the sound of gunfire.

Cary-Grove was the only District 155 high school to use simulated gunfire in its drill. “I think ultimately it’s our responsibility to make sure that all of our students are safe and can respond under pressure,” District 155 Superintendent Johnnie Thomas said after the CaryGrove drill. “We need to make sure they have the ability to respond in an appropriate manner. I think this goes a long way in doing that.”

I was at Target last weekend picking up some of the staples that keep our household running (weight control dog food, paper towels, frozen raspberries and bottled water) when I saw the Valentine’s Day cards aisle. The Golfer in My Life and I don’t do anything special for the holiday but we always exchange cards. At least we try to. Two years ago, we bought our cards a week in advance and forgot to give them to each other. The night of the 15th I was going though the mail and saw the Target bag sitting on the dining room table, cards unsigned. Of course, cards don’t go out of style so I stashed them away to use for 2012. I must say the Golfer was quite impressed when I remembered to pull them out last year. It also really played into his frugality, covering two years for just $3.49! As I have said before, he really is the yin to my yang. We have been together for over fourteen years and I adore him even more than back in May of 1998. I am sure that many of you will agree the key to a long term relationship is having the right mix of differences tempered with a base of common interests. One question I always get asked is “Do you golf?” “No, I don’t and it is probably best.” I am not sure playing the sport together would be beneﬁcial to our relationship. The Golfer is a really good golfer; good enough that some years he is a scratch handicap or even a plus one. If he did try to teach me, I am afraid that my lack of interest mixed with his inevitable frustration would lead to snappy comments on my part and eye-rolling on his. I appreciate that this hobby provides him with a great circle of friends and some healthy hy

competition. His passion about golf equals mine with Pilates. Just as I understand his golf game, he respects how much time I spend at the studio. Different but similar. The other differences are also really manageable. Our eating habits are almost exact opposites. I must say one of us eats like an adult and the other like a twelve year old. My breakfast every morning is Greek yogurt and frozen raspberries; he alternates between Cap’n Crunch and Lucky Charms. I love all kinds of mustards and condiments; the man has never tasted ketchup. I can barely remember the last time I ate a hamburger and he always enjoys a good steak. My mind is planning the next thing we need to accomplish; he is more laid back, allowing things to just happen. Reality television is one of my guilty pleasures; he would be happy with just the Golf Channel, ESPN and the History Channel. Truly small stuff in the big picture. Fortunately, we are very similar on the big picture stuff. Under a crisis, we bond as a team. Whether fighting a flying squirrel or playing “Good Cop, Bad Cop” when dealing with Son and Daughter, we bring out the best in each other. Our views on money are both conservative and we trust each other’s judgement, no questions asked. If we had to choose the perfect Friday night, a movie and splitting baked mostaccioli at Portillo’s fits the bill. What more could a girl ask for? So yes, when I was at Target I selected a card for that Golfer in My Life and it is already signed, sealed and ready for Thursday. Wonder if he has done the same? Have a good weekend! Autumn

“Identity Thief” HH

on the map: the trailblazing, 1989 indie “sex, lies and videotape.” Both are lurid genre exercises, laid bare. Both focus on the intertwined lives of four central figures, including a scene in which one of the men interviews one of the women on video, hoping to unearth a hidden truth. Both movies are about danger, secrets and manipulation, filled with characters who aren’t what they initially seem, all of which Soderbergh depicts with his typically cool detachment. The complexity of emotion, confusion and loss at the film’s start gives way to some acrobatic trickery by the end, but “Side Effects” is never less than gripping or entertaining. Mara, who showed such fierce intelligence in David Fincher’s “The Social Network” and “The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo,” is quietly chilling here. With her waiflike frame, chiseled facial features and steely eyes that reveal nothing, she’s like a mysterious child’s doll come to life. – Christy Lemire, The Associ-

THEATERS

Rated R for sexual content and language; 1 hour, 52 minutes

STARRING: Jason Bateman, Melissa McCarthy, Amanda Peet, Robert Patrick PLOT: When a Denver businessman (Bateman) discovers a Florida woman has stolen his identity and destroyed his credit record, he travels to the Sunshine State to confront her. VERDICT: After a lengthy setup, this turns out to be a road comedy patterned after the “Planes, Trains and Automobiles” formula of forcing a family man to travel with a weirdo. The attempt is misguided, because McCarthy is an unrepentant crook who doesn’t earn the sympathy that John Candy did. Many other clichés are visited along the way. Despite the script’s slippery grasp on morality, Bateman and McCarthy still find ways to be funny and charming.

– Jeffrey Westhoff, The Northwest Herald •••••••

“The Last Stand” HHH R for strong, bloody violence throughout and language, 1 hour, 47 minutes

STARRING: Arnold Schwarzenegger, Forest Whitaker, Johnny Knoxville PLOT: The leader of a drug cartel busts out of a courthouse and speeds to the Mexican border, where the only thing in his path is a sheriff and his inexperienced staff. VERDICT: ”The Last Stand” is the Arnold Schwarzenegger movie you didn’t even realize you wanted to see. This is the action superstar’s first leading role in a decade, having left acting to serve as the governor of California and whatnot, and while it may not have occurred to you to miss him during that time, it’s still surprisingly good to see him on the big screen again. He is not exactly pushing himself here. Korean director Kim Jee-woon’s American filmmaking debut turns out to be

RATINGS HHHH - Excellent HHH - Recommended HH - Not recommended H - Awful an extremely Schwarzeneggerish Schwarzenegger film, full of big, violent set pieces and broad comedy. He may look a little creaky (and facially freaky) these days, but Arnold proves he’s still game for the mayhem as he fires off rounds and tosses off one-liners, and the movie at least has the decency to acknowledge that it knows that you know that he’s old. – Christy

Lemire, The Associated Press •••••••

“Side Effects” HHH R for sexuality, nudity, violence and language, 1 hour, 46 minutes STARRING: Rooney Mara, Channing Tatum, Jude Law PLOT: Emily and Martin are a successful New York couple whose world unravels when a new drug prescribed by Emily’s psychiatrist – intended to treat anxiety – has unexpected side effects. VERDICT: If “Side Effects” is indeed Steven Soderbergh’s final film, as he’s said it will be after toying with the notion of retirement for a couple of years now, then intriguingly it feels like he’s coming full circle in some ways to the film that put him

ated Press •••••••

“Warm Bodies” HHH Rated PG-13 for zombie violence and some language, 1 hour, 37 minutes STARRING: Nicholas Hoult, Teresa Palmer, John Malkovich, Rob Corddry PLOT: A zombie boy (Hoult) who retains a vestige of his soul meets a human girl (Palmer) and falls in love. Eventually she returns his affections, but her father (Malkovich) is the zombie-hating leader of the local militia. VERDICT: Not only is this the first zombie romantic comedy, but also the first movie told from a zombie’s point of view (Hoult’s character narrates). In a low key way, the various story elements – romance, comedy, horror and suspense – work, but not always at the same time. Yet writer-director Jonathan Levine (“50/50”) pulls it all together with a sense of good cheer and, yes, heart. Hoult’s sympathetic and humorous performance provides much of the weird charm. – Jeffrey

Dying man wants to thank those who shared his life

Dear Abby: I have enjoyed a good life. I have served my community. I have a wonderful wife, great children and good friends. However, it now appears the disease that has been kept at bay has progressed, and soon my days will end. I have accepted my impending death as best one can, and let few people know of it. I would like to thank all the wonderful people who have been an important part of my life over the years, and I’m wondering how that might be accomplished. I do not want to make them sad or receive condolences. I simply

talized many times. Can you give me some suggestions to show my appreciation? – On The Way

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips

Out In New Jersey Dear On The Way Out: While goodbyes can be sad, your farewell party need not be morbid – particularly if you and your wife make it a celebration of life and let your guests know it in advance. If you’re afraid saying what’s in your heart to each person individually will be emotionally draining, then deliver a speech or videotape one to be played at the event. While reading your letter, I am reminded of a friend,

want them to know they were an important part of my life for which I am truly grateful. I considered a party, but wondered if that might seem morbid. Letters seem too distant, and phone calls would be hard on me. While my death sentence is firm, and it will be soon, the exact date is impossible to know. Few of these people are aware I am seriously ill, although I have been hospi-

Judith, whom I lost several years ago. Judith had battled cancer for 12 years. After she had completed yet another round of chemo, some of her women friends gathered for a potluck luncheon at her place. The wine was poured and we all glanced at each other, worried that toasting “health” might seem inappropriate. Sensing the hesitation, Judy raised her glass and announced, “To LIFE!” And that, my friend, is exactly what your party should be all about. Dear Abby: I’m a sixthgrade girl with a group of friends I like. The problem

is some of them constantly put themselves down. It’s annoying to hear, “My hair is so messed up,” “I failed that quiz” (they got a B), “My paper is so bad” or “I’m so ugly.” None of these things are true. I know people put themselves down so that others will reassure them that they’re fine. But I’m getting tired of hearing these complaints. I have told them to stop acting this way, but it doesn’t work. How can I get my friends to stop complaining about themselves so much? – Tired Of Hearing It

In Boulder, Colo.

Dear Tired Of Hearing It: You can’t, so be patient with them because you appear to be more emotionally mature and self-confident than they are. At 12, which I assume most of your friends are, it is not unusual for girls to become sensitive about their changing bodies, and some of their insecurity may be hormonal. That’s why they’re looking to others for reassurance, so please don’t be stingy.

Lifestyle changes relieve BPH

Dear Dr. K: I have BPH. I have some urinary symptoms, but because I work from home they’re not difficult to manage. Is there any danger in not actively treating my condition? Dear Reader: Benign prostatic hyperplasia, or BPH, is the most common cause of prostate enlargement. As the name suggests, BPH is harmless; it does not lead to prostate cancer. Up to two-thirds of men with BPH never develop any symptoms. Others find BPH can make life miserable. You seem to be somewhere in between. The most common symptoms of BPH involve changes or problems with urination. They include: •฀a฀hesitant,฀interrupted฀or฀ weak urine stream; •฀a฀strong฀urge฀to฀urinate฀ repeatedly throughout the day and night, even if there’s not a lot of urine in the bladder; •฀leaking฀or฀dribbling฀ urine; •฀a฀sense฀of฀incomplete฀ emptying; •฀more฀frequent฀urination,฀ especially at night. Even if you find your symptoms to be manageable, it

multiply rapidly. If your symptoms become more burdensome, talk to your doctor about treatment options. Usually a combination of lifestyle changes and medication can relieve the worst symptoms. Lifestyle changes may include taking time to empty your bladder completely. Many of my patients with BPH say that if their urine stream stops, as if they have emptied their bladders, it will often start again if they just wait and continue to try to urinate. It also may help to avoid caffeinated or alcoholic beverages in the evenings. Several medications exist to treat BPH. While medicines can cause side effects, they don’t in most patients, and many of my patients swear by the medicines I’ve prescribed. Also, surgical treatments are more effective and have fewer side effects than ever before. Usually, though, patience and lifestyle changes can give sufficient relief, and that’s what I recommend first.

ASK DR. K Dr. Anthony Komaroff doesn’t hurt to reassess every now and then. One way to get a sense of the severity of your symptoms is by calculating your urinary symptom score. I’ve put a copy of this questionnaire on my website. If your symptoms don’t bother you too much, you and your doctor may choose to do nothing other than watchful waiting. This involves regular monitoring but no treatment. Most physicians advise against active treatment for men with mild symptoms because the side effects of the treatment can outweigh the potential benefits. Even if you choose to forgo treatment, your doctor should regularly monitor you for complications. BPH can increase your risk of urinary tract infections and, possibly, bladder stones. The increased risk of infection comes from difficulty in fully emptying the bladder. If all the urine is not emptied out of the body, bacteria in the urine that remains inside the bladder can

Caesars seeking Britney

‘Lincoln’ inaccurate

After weeks of speculation, Caesars Entertainment is confirming it’s trying to lure Britney Spears to Las Vegas for a recurring gig at the Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino. Spokeswoman Emily Wofford said Friday the company was in negotiations to install the pop princess on the Las Vegas Strip. The 31-year-old “Scream & Shout” singer stoked residency rumors last week by responding with a “Viva Las Vegas” hashtag to a post from her dog’s Twitter account asking if puppies can gamble in Sin City.

The screenwriter for the movie “Lincoln” has conceded taking some liberties in its portrayal of a 19th century vote on slavery, but he said his changes adhered to widely accepted standards for the creation of historical drama. A congressman who pointed out the flaw, U.S. Rep. Joe Courtney, said Friday he was pleased screenwriter Tony Kushner acknowledged that Connecticut congressmen did not vote against a constitutional amendment outlawing slavery, as depicted in the film. He said he hopes a correction can be made before the film is released on DVD.

McCarthy debuts show

Posen, Kors share the ‘Runway’ The rivalry stayed on the catwalk when new “Project Runway” judge Zac Posen met previous “Project Runway” judge Michael Kors at New York Fashion Week on Friday. Kors, acting as a guest panelist, Posen, Heidi Klum and Nina Garcia were one big happy family when they took their seats at Lincoln Center to watch the collections of this season’s contestants. (Kors and Klum joked they’ve spent so much time together over the years that they now look like brother and sister.) “I didn’t call Zac with any tips before he started. He knows what he’s doing,” Kors said in a preshow interview. “I knew I was leaving it in very capable hands.” Chiming in, Posen added: “I had 10 seasons to watch Michael, and I had been a guest judge with him. I’m sure I learned a few things.” The show is the godmother of fashion reality TV, now in its 11th season. It was time for a change, said Klum, who is an executive producer. Kors’ schedule forced the switch, but it’s been good for the show. “Of course, I miss Michael, but I talk to him A LOT, and the show has his blessing,” she said. The other new wrinkle this go-around is that the contestants have been working in teams – and they are not necessarily happy about it, Klum said.

Jenny McCarthy may have made a home in the Chicago suburbs, but the 40-year-old mom of a 10-year-old son hasn’t lost her goofy, party girlpersona. The former Playboy playmate and TV host says Hugh Hefner’s 1970s-era “Playboy After Dark” is the inspiration her new weekly VH1 talk show, “The Jenny McCarthy Show,” which debuted Friday night. She’ll commute to New York to film the show from her home outside her native Chicago.

Giant bill for fixing car Everyone who’s had a fender bender knows the cost of repairs is going up. But few cars can be as costly to fix as “Mr. Bean” actor Rowan Atkinson’s rare McLaren F1. It took more than a year – and more

than $1.4 million – to get his supercar up and running after a 2011 crash that left Atkinson with a badly damaged shoulder. The high-performance car makes extensive use of carbon fiber and needed specialist care – it took weeks just to get a proper insurance estimate.

Stars seek Hawaii privacy Rock stars Steven Tyler and Mick Fleetwood appeared Friday at a Hawaii legislative hearing to push a bill aimed at protecting celebrities’ privacy. The so-called Steven Tyler Act would give celebrities or anyone else the power to sue paparazzi who take photos or video of their private lives in an offensive way. Tyler says he had his manager draft the bill and requested that Sen. Kalani English introduce it on his behalf. The former “American Idol” judge recently bought a multi-million dollar home in English’s district on Maui.

CARY – No one told the Cary-Grove and Grayslake North girls basketball teams that, with the playoffs only days away and division play over, nothing was technically at stake during Friday’s crossover game.

Burlington holds off R-B By JOE STEVENSON joestevenson@shawmedia.com

BURLINGTON – Richmond-Burton showed plenty of mettle while battling back from a huge hole. The Rockets’ full-court zone pressure was instrumental in sparking a comeback from a 16-point, third-quarter deficit to lead by four points with 3:10 remaining in the game. At that point, R-B’s most noticeable deficiency – rebounding – again became an issue. Burlington Central, as it had most of the game, picked up vital second-chance points and held off R-B, 69-65, in their Big Northern Conference East Division boys basketball game Friday night. “They just destroyed us on the offensive glass,” said R-B coach Brandon Creason, whose team was outrebounded, 38-29. “Even when we had the lead, we didn’t rebound well. We played hard, but we just didn’t rebound hard.”

t this moment, Brandon Thomas is at peace. The instant before he emerges from behind a sparkling silver curtain as Pauly Thomaselli – the 28-year-old McHenry native’s professional wrestling alter-ego – Thomas will pause, close his eyes and exhale. Flashes of green, red, yellow and purple strobe lights collide in the air. The guitar rifts that introduce The Smut Peddler’s “If You’re Gonna Be Dumb, You Gotta Be Tough” pump out of a ring-side speaker system connected to a laptop computer and throughout Fusion Arena – otherwise recognized as the empty store space inside the 5 Star Swap Mart in Villa Park. “From Dee-troit City on the southwest side,” the ring announcer begins, drawing out every syllable. “The sure sign of a good time…Pau-ly…Thoma… selli.” Thomas, who isn’t from Detroit but his alias identifies with it, waits a half-second and then emerges through the curtain, bent on destruction. Professional wrestling is a dance. To be halfway believable, both combatants must work as one, adhering to a script carefully crafted together before the end result – predetermined hours, if not days, before – becomes reality. It’s what comes in between the opening bell and the referee pounding the mat three times that Thomas has dedicated nearly the past decade of his life. But for Thomas, who won his first state wrestling championship in eighth grade and still ranks second on McHenry High School’s all-time pins leader list, this is what living feels like. Thomas’ job begins as he makes his way through the 50 people in the crowd on a cold January night. He exchanges high-fives with some, jaw-jacks with Morgan Ellingson – mellingson@shawmedia.com others. Pauly Thomaselli is dressed in purple and “Pauly Thomaselli” is introduced during a recent black hand-sewn tights and a mask that’s part of a

C-G grad Bart loves frenetic style played by Olivet Nazarene

When Liz Bart explains the frenetic pace at which she and her NAIA Olivet Nazarene University women’s basketball teammates play, she doesn’t use a comparison to her own sport. “I tell my friends it’s like hockey,” said Bart, a CaryGrove graduate. “It’s a great way to play. When I go back and watch high school ball, it’s so much slower.” A junior guard for the Tigers, who are ranked No. 17 in NAIA Division II, Bart is part of a team that plays Liz Bart 15 players a game in short shifts while firing away from 3-point range an average of 57 times a game. The team’s goal is 90 shots a game, 45 of which should be 3-pointers. “It’s a totally different philosophy than most teams,” ONU coach Lauren Stamatis said. “It’s very uptempo and a very fast style.” “I love it,” Bart said. “Even our center shoots threes.” While zipping up and down the floor, ONU substitutes five players at a time. Bart estimates her average time on the court is about 35 seconds before the next group comes into a game. “We like to play everybody on our roster,” Stamatis said. Bart said she practices with the same four players on her “unit” all season to build familiarity. “Getting to play with the same unit every time you go in is a lot of fun,” she said. “I don’t think I could go back to a regular style of basketball.” Bart, a team captain, is an important contributor for the Tigers (20-6), who average just more than 100 points and force opponents into more than 35 turnovers a game. This week, Bart ranks No. 5 in NAIA in made 3-pointers (79) and sixth in 3s a game (3.04). “She has no conscience when it comes to shooting the ball,” Stamatis said. “If she’s inside the gym, we want her to shoot. I yell at them if they don’t shoot the ball.” ONU’s fast-paced style also brings about plenty of yelling from fans on the Bourbonnais campus for home games. “Our fans love it,” she said. “Our families love it.” The student section, in particular, gets into the spirit, wearing Tiger shirts and even Tiger slippers, Bart said, along with shouting a unique chant when a new unit hits the floor. “They yell, ‘Line change,’ ” Bart said. “Just like in

FOX VALLEY CONFERENCE BOYS SWIMMING MEET

Chasing Cary-Grove

Sue Paterno defends late husband in letter

Hamann, King poised to propel Trojans By PATRICK MASON pmason@shawmedia.com

At 11 a.m. today, all of the Fox Valley Conference boys swimming teams will square off at Woodstock North for the FVC meet. Only two swimmers are allowed entry in each event at sectionals so the conference meet usually has plenty of swimmers on the same team vying for the final spot creating fast swims. “Teams generally know who their top swimmer is in each event,” Cary-Grove coach Rick Schaefer said. “But it is those swimmers who are second and third in their events that compete for the final spot. Here’s a look at key swimmers and where each team stands heading into today’s meet.

CARY-GROVE CO-OP

The Trojans are expected to win the meet. Schaefer said Wednesday his medley relay is set, but the following two will be determined by individual swims leading up to the relays. Swimmers to watch: Michael Hamann and Tyler King Hamann is a three-time state qualifier who will most likely advance to the state meet in Evanston a fourth time. King has made large improvements this season and is one of the top sprinters in the conference. Last year as a junior, Schaefer said King would “get inside his own head too often.” “Last year, he would get up on the blocks and look to either side of him and say ‘this kid can beat me, so can this kid and this kid’,” Schaefer said of

King. “But this year not many kids are capable of beating him, and I think he’s realized that now.”

DeDina, a senior, is a twotime state qualifier and will look to challenge the Trojans’ Hamann in the 200 individual medley.

WOODSTOCK CO-OP The Blue Streaks’ strength lies in the relays. They can compete with any team in the conference because of their combination of fast sprinters and off-stroke specialists. It will be interesting to see how the Blue Streaks and Jacobs co-op matchup because of the similarities between the two. Swimmers to watch: Adam Steinken, Henry Gantner and Morgan Hofmann. The three seniors are the backbone of the team. Steinken has lofty goals set for himself in the 100 breaststroke and has been swimming better each meet. Gantner is a quick sprinter that will rival the Trojans’ Tyler King. Hofmann’s 100 backstroke is something to watch for as he has said he takes “pride in the race and I know I can go a lot faster than what I’ve already done.” The three also combine for one of the fastest 400 free relays in the conference.

MCHENRY The Warriors are a young team with only one senior but the strength in the underclassmen is overwhelming. Coach Craig Fowles has a strong nucleus of young talent that will be able to compete for the conference title in the coming years. Swimmers to watch: Kevin Braun and Adam Jensen Braun is a freshman who is one of the better swimmers in the conference. He broke two meet records at the Woodstock Invite earlier in the season so he swims well at this pool. Look for him to be around the top place-finshers. Adam Jensen, the squad’s only senior, has come on strong in the last few weeks. He boasts a strong 100 freestyle which should be able to go under 50 seconds. The 100 freestyle race will be tight Saturday as the Blue Streaks Hofmann is around the same time in the event.

JACOBS CO-OP The Golden Eagles have strengths in numerous events. They figure to matchup well with the Blue Streaks in the relays and with Cary-Grove in the individual events. Swimmers to watch: Alex Reinbrecht and Josh DeDina Reinbrecht went to state last season as a sophomore and is the best distance swimmer in the area. The junior has capabilities of going a sub 4:40 in his 500 freestyle in the coming weeks and he will be tough to hang with in the 200 freestyle.

HUNTLEY The Red Raiders won a few big dual meets near the end of the season, which is a good sign headed into the next few weekends. Swimmers to watch: Benjamin Cazel and Matthew Haage. Cazel and Haage are the perfect compliment to one another. Cazel, a freshman, has been swimming the 500 freestyle with improvement each time he gets in the pool and Haage is a 50 freestyler.

PREP ROUNDUP

State dreams stay alive for 26 local wrestlers NORTHWEST HERALD

After the quarterfinals at sectional meets Friday, 26 local wrestlers are still alive in the championship bracket. In Class 1A at Oregon, Harvard’s Anthony Luis at 106 pounds, Chance Shelton (132) and Adam Freimund (285) will wrestle in the semifinals today. Marengo’s Damon Cloe had the biggest upset of the night when he defeated Montini’s Luke Fortuna, 6-5, to advance to the semis at Antioch in Class 2A. Also at Antioch, Woodstock’s Alan Hafer (160) and Woodstock North’s Cody Barnes (195) both won two matches to advance to the semifinals. For Crystal Lake Central, Justin Ellman

(182) and Darwin Stone (220) also won two matches to advance. In Class 3A, Jacobs’ Austin Ryan and Prairie Ridge’s Travis Piotrowski at Barrington could see each other in the finals if both win their semifinal match.

Cary-Grove’s Katie Barker, surrounded by Grayslake North players, fights for control of the ball in the fourth quarter Friday in Cary.

Jakubicek seals win with late free throws • CARY-GROVE Continued from page C1 Jakubicek went 9 for 10 at the free-throw line in the final 1:30, turning a one-point Trojans lead into a comfortable win. C-G (21-6) outscored the Knights 9-2 during that span with Grayslake North’s only points coming off a layup with 16 seconds left. Jakubicek finished with a game-high 24 points and hit 14 of 17 free throws. “It’s definitely fun,” Jakubicek said of shooting lategame free throws. “At the beginning of the season it was one of my goals to have a high free throw percentage. I’ve definitely been practicing and working on it. It’s in games like these where I’m glad I do practice them.” The Trojans grabbed a 2523 lead heading into halftime on Jakubicek’s driving layup as time expired, overcoming what once was a six-point Knights lead. The Knights (25-3) couldn’t take advantage of C-G’s offensive struggles and 12 first half turnovers. Grayslake North scored 17 points in the first quarter but went cold from the field in

the second and third quarters scoring 13 combined points. Although Jakubicek led the team, the Trojans got plenty of scoring from their other four starters. Each scored at least four points while sophomore guard Katie Barker (two 3-pointers) and Nicholson (six of 10 points scored in the fourth) kept the Knights’ defense honest. “You’ve got to have your main scorers score,” C-G coach Rod Saffert said. “But I’ve told these guys all year, some of them need to get two [points], get us four and if you do, that’s how you win games.” The Knights’ ability to make 3-pointers – guard Kendall Detweiler finished with four, part of a team-high 17 points – always kept them in the game. Four of their seven fourth quarter field goals came from beyond the arc, and Emily Dugan’s 3 with 4:53 remaining gave Grayslake North their first lead in a quarter. “For us, win or lose coming into their place and playing them to the final minute, I’m happy with the way we played,” Knights coach Nathan Flannery said.

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. – Breaking more than a year of silence, Sue Paterno is defending her late husband as a “moral, disciplined” man who never twisted the truth to avoid bad publicity. The wife of the former Penn State coach is fighting back against the accusations against Joe Paterno that followed the Jerry Sandusky scandal. Her campaign started with a letter sent Friday to former Penn State players. She wrote that the family’s exhaustive response to former FBI director Louis Freeh’s report for the university on the Sandusky child sex abuse case will officially be released to the public at 9 a.m. Sunday on paterno.com. Freeh in July accused Joe Paterno and three university officials of covering up allegations against Sandusky, a retired defensive coordinator. Less than two weeks later, the NCAA levied unprecedented sanctions on the program that Joe Paterno built into one of the most well-known in college football.

Snedeker shares lead at Pebble after 2nd round PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. – Brandt Snedeker goes into the weekend at Pebble Beach with another chance to win, this time without golf’s biggest stars in his way. Snedeker played bogey-free at tough Spyglass Hill on Friday for a 4-under 68, giving him a share of the lead with Ted Potter Jr. in the Pebble Beach National Pro-Am. Potter three-putted his final hole at Monterey Peninsula for a 67. Hunter Mahan was among those one shot behind. With one more round before everyone has played all three courses in the rotation, the leaderboard was a big traffic jam. Three dozen players were within five shots of the lead. – Wire reports

R-B’s Vlasak scores game-high 19 • R-B Continued from page C1 Burlington (10-13 overall, 8-1 BNC East) takes a 11⁄2-game lead with three remaining games. R-B (8-15, 6-2) has one more remaining game and hosts Burlington on Feb. 22 in the regular-season finale. R-B trailed 50-34 with 1:25 remaining in the third quarter, but finished the quarter with an 8-1 run, including two baskets in the final 9 seconds. “Our defense gave us steals and we got into transition and that gave us good shots,” guard Brian Wells said. “We kept getting more steals and getting more confidence. We got those steals at the end of the third quarter and broke it

down a little bit.” Guard Chris Vlasak then took over with 13 of his gamehigh 19 points in the fourth quarter. He hit a 3-pointer, then converted three threepoint plays in a span of 1:04. “At halftime, I had only two points,” Vlasak said. “I thought I needed to score for us to have a chance to win. It was good, but we were just atrocious on the boards. That’s what won the game for them. The secondchance points killed us.” The most crucial basket may have come at 1:40 when Burlington’s Ryan Ritchie took a long 3 that did not draw iron, but James Raney was standing under the basket for the putback to tie the score at 63-63. “It’s frustrating that what

was killing us in the first quarter was killing us in the second quarter and was killing us in the fourth quarter,” Creason said. “A lot of it is we’re not very big, but we’ve rebounded better against bigger teams.

NBA ROUNDUP

LeBron leads Heat to blowout of Clippers The ASSOCIATED PRESS

MIAMI – LeBron James scored 30 points in another efficient performance, Dwyane Wade added 20, and the Miami Heat dominated the middle two quarters on the way to an easy 111-89 win over the Los Angeles Clippers on Friday night. James shot 9 for 11, giving him 37 makes on his past 47 attempts, and sat out the fourth quarter. It was his fourth straight 30-point game, tying him with Wade as the only Heat player with such streaks in the franchise’s 25-year history. The Clippers got Chauncey Billups, Chris Paul and Blake Griffin back from injuries, but that trio of starters combined for only 23 points. DeAndre Jordan led Los Angeles with 17 points. Miami was without Chris Bosh and Ray Allen, both sidelined with the flu. Raptors 100, Pacers 98 (OT): At Indianapolis, Rudy Gay scored 17 of his 23 points in the fourth quarter and overtime, rallying Toronto past Indiana. David West scored 30 points and George had 26 as the Pacers’ 15-game home winning streak came to an end. Lakers 100, Bobcats 93: At Charlotte, N.C., Kobe Bryant shrugged off a scoreless first half to finish with 20 points, eight assists and seven rebounds, and Los Angeles overcome a 20point second-half deficit to beat Charlotte. The Lakers avoided a costly defeat to the NBA’s worst team and pulled within three games of .500. Pistons 119, Spurs 109: At Auburn Hills, Mich., Greg Monroe had 26 points and 16 rebounds as Detroit snapped San Antonio’s 11-game winning streak with a victory over the short-handed Spurs. San Antonio played without Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili. The Pistons led by as many as 21 points in the second quarter.

Knicks 100, Timberwolves 94: At Minneapolis, Carmelo Anthony had 36 points and nine rebounds, scoring 12 points down the stretch to rally New York over Minnesota. Thunder 127, Phoenix 96: At Oklahoma City, Kevin Durant scored 21 points, Thabo Sefolosha had a season-high 18 and Oklahoma City rode a gigantic third-quarter run to a victory over Phoenix. Grizzlies 99, Warriors 93: At Memphis, Tenn., Marc Gasol scored six of his 20 points down the stretch to help Memphis beat Golden State.

Rockets 118, Trail Blazers 103: At Houston, James Harden had 35 points and 11 assists, and Chandler Parsons scored 20 to help Houston beat Portland. Wizards 89, Nets 74: At Washington, the Wizards held Brooklyn without a field goal for nearly 9 minutes during the first half, withstood a second-half slump and held on for their latest win over a team near the top of the standings. Hornets 111, Hawks 100: At Atlanta, Greivis Vasquez had his first career triple-double and Eric Gordon scored 27 points, leading New Orleans over Atlanta to give the last-place Hornets a rare winning streak. Cavaliers 119, Magic 108: At Cleveland, Kyrie Irving scored 24 points, and Cleveland sent Orlando to its 12th straight loss.

By JAY COHEN The Associated Press CHICAGO – It’s the ultimate status symbol for a company looking to make a splash. It’s a tool for entertaining clients and rewarding employees for a job well done. It’s a statement: We’re here, and we plan on staying for a while. And it’s a valuable revenue stream for teams looking to upgrade their facility, or build a new one altogether. It helps ensure the future of small-market clubs, and increases the advantage of the most profitable teams. Corporate names are plastered on arenas and stadiums all over the world today, and the marquee sponsorship agreements are becoming more lucrative and intricate with each blockbuster contract. That’s why some of the top professionals in sports are paying close attention to an intriguing group of naming rights deals set to expire within the next five years. “Everyone’s starting to think about this,” said Eric Fernandez, a senior vice president at MediaLink, LLC. Fernandez was the executive director of sponsorships and events for AT&T for six years before joining his boutique consultancy firm in 2008. He played a key role in the agreements that cover AT&T Park in San Francisco and AT&T Center in San Antonio, and is interested to see what comes of this compact run of lapsing deals. “You’re just really starting to see that teams are kind of licking their chops because they see that the market has exponentially grown for naming rights,” he said, “and I think you’re going to run into some really big issues with incumbent partners being actually willing and able to actually step up and do that.” Edward Jones and the St. Louis Rams decided to continue their relationship, announcing a renewal of

United Airlines’ 20-year partnership with United Center Joint Venture, a company run by Bulls owner Jerry Reinsdorf and his counterpart with the Blackhawks, Rocky Wirtz , comes up for renewal in 2014, and it’s one of several naming rights deals set to expire in the next few years that could affect teams throughout the country. their naming rights deal last year that runs through 2025. But that still leaves lots of nice real estate that could be on the market soon. The $70 million, 10-year agreement for the Home Depot Center in Carson, Calif., expires in May, and the contract covering the United Center in Chicago is up next year. The $47 million, 15-year pact for the San Jose Sharks’ HP Pavilion runs out in three years, followed closely by three big ones in 2017: Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Mass.; Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego; and, Verizon Center in Washington. The contract for M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore expires in 2018. “I mean that’s a huge part of a team’s budget,” said Dan Migala, a founding partner of Property Consulting Group who worked for the Padres and has consulted for other major league teams. “How does that impact payroll, you know, all of those things as you start to move forward. I think it’s a very serious issue for our industry.” Home Depot spokeswoman Jean Niemi said last month the company will not be renewing its deal for the home of Major League Soccer’s Los

Angeles Galaxy and Chivas USA. The ability of Anschutz Entertainment Group, which owns the Galaxy, to find a strong replacement could be an important litmus test for a league that now plays in 14 soccer-specific facilities – with San Jose set to open a new field next year. President of AEG Global Partnerships Shervin Mirhashemi said the company is “in the final stages of negotiations with a new naming rights partner” for the sprawling 125-acre complex that also includes facilities for tennis, track and field, baseball, basketball and other sports. It could be a tricky process for AEG, which is for sale. Plus, crossover star David Beckham is gone after leading the Galaxy to consecutive league titles, and Sporting KC also is in the market for a naming rights deal after an embarrassing disagreement with cancer charity Livestrong led to the end of their partnership. “The naming rights partnership for the venue and then the jersey front partnership are two of the larger revenue streams from a commercial standpoint for any professional soccer club throughout the world,” MLS

spokesman Dan Courtemanche said. The market for naming rights has changed dramatically since the deal for the United Center was announced in 1992, which reportedly cost the Chicago-based airline an average of $1.8 million a year. Massive contracts for Reliant Stadium ($300 million over 30 years) in Houston and Citi Field ($400 million over 20 years) and Barclays Center ($400 million over 20 years) in New York reset the market altogether, but the deal that could have the biggest effect on the negotiations for the United Center is the American Airlines Center, home of the Dallas Mavericks and Stars. “American Airlines Center is probably $6 to $8 million a year,” Fernandez said. “So you’re sitting here, if you’re the Bulls, you’re obviously saying, ‘We’re way under market value,’ which they are. ... If you’ve got United, you’re like, ‘OK, well, my budget’s not suddenly increased and I’ve had this deal that I’ve been able to project for a number of years.’ It’s like ‘Am I going to be able to sustain that?’ ” Since the original agreement, United has gone through bankruptcy and merged with Continental. The airline industry and economy also have changed dramatically. “We value our long-term partnership with the United Center and look forward to continuing to work together,” airline spokeswoman Mary Clark said in a statement. “We believe that the United Center and all of the other partnerships in our sponsorship portfolio offer us great opportunities to connect with our customers.” United Center executive vice president Howard Pizer declined to comment. If the negotiations with United fall apart, there could be several suitors for the high-profile facility in one of the country’s biggest cities. But any new partnership would face a series of challenges ranging from changing the signage at the arena to the difficulty of overcoming the connection to the United Center name. It could be a familiar discussion in sports over the next couple of years.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Rusty Wallace touched on his early days trying to make it as a professional race car driver, the lessons he learned from NASCAR’s pioneers and his relentless push to drive for Roger Penske in an energetic acceptance into the Hall of Fame. Then Wallace, winner of 55 races and the 1989 championship, called Friday night’s induction “the biggest day of my driving career.” Wallace was the headliner of the fourth Hall of Fame class, which included innovative mechanic and crew chief Leonard Wood, former series champions Buck Baker and Herb Thomas and former car owner Cotton Owens. Wallace and Wood are the only two living members of this year’s class. “The thing I learned, and I said it the driver meeting in 2005 the day I retired and walked out, I said ‘This is a privilege. This is a privilege to race in NASCAR. You don’t have to do it, we’re not making you do it. It’s a privilege to race in NASCAR, and it’s a blessing for me to be in this sport and do what I’ve done,’” Wallace said. “I just hope all the young drivers respect NASCAR as much as I respect it and go out there and say

Elaine Thomas sets up an embroidery design on a Bernina 830 machine at Stitching on State in Hampshire.

Sewing a new look Stitching on State seeks to broaden its appeal By STEPHEN Di BENEDETTO sdibenedetto@shawmedia.com HAMPSHIRE – A temporary white and purple banner currently covers the longstanding “Judy’s Quilt ‘N Sew” sign that has marked a locallyflavored destination business on south State Street in Hampshire since 1996. The banner, with the words “Stitching on State” prominently displayed, is only a placeholder, until Mike and Elaine Thomas finally receive their own sign and can formally complete a transition three years in the making. Fueled by a passion for sewing, the couple bought Judy’s Quilt ‘N Sew, 290 S. State St., from the business’ original owners, Jim and Judy Magura, in 2010. The couple has spent the last three years updating merchandise and changing the look and feel of the store. Now, the owners are taking ownership of their business, after formally unveiling the newly branded Stitching on State to more than 100 customers in a grand reopening on Feb. 2 “We wanted to really brand it as our store,” Mike Thomas said. “It’s letting people know that we are the owners and that we are here to stay. This is our business now.” For the last 16 years, avid quilters and sewers from the region have turned to the Hampshire store for high-quality products, even after ownership changed hands. Although now with a new name, the business still will deliver the same expertise customers have come to expect, Mike Thomas said. Stitching on State still offers the high-quality Pfaff and Bernina brand sewing machines. Customers can still visit the shop for exceptional fabrics that aren’t typically available at bargain brand stores like JoAnn’s Fabrics or WalMart. They can still peruse the old, 1906 Dutch Colonial home for notions, supplies, sewing needles and books, Mike Thomas said. But the name change is also an attempt to broaden the local shop’s appeal. Mike and Elaine Thomas weighed various names, before settling on the alliterative Stitching on

Mike Thomas repairs a sewing machine at Stitching on State in Hampshire on Friday.

Stitching on State What: Featuring exceptional fabrics, notions, supplies, as well as Bernina and Pfaff sewing machines. Shop also offers dozens of classes, clubs, workshops and events each month. Where: 290 S. State St., Hampshire Information: Call 847-683-4739, or visit www.stitchingonstate.com

State. They thought it reflected their desire not to be known just for quilting. In the coming months, the owners will try to diversify their merchandise, so that younger, time-strapped sewers can turn to the store to complete smaller home decor projects, like knitting handbags or table runners. The two have already added a merchandiser to the payroll, so that customers won’t see “the same old merchandise in the same old place,” Mike Thomas said. “We don’t want to be known as one type of store,” he said. “We want to try and offer a variety, so that we appeal to a wider audience.” Originally from Arlington Heights, Mark and Elaine Thomas moved to Hampshire nine years ago to fulfill their dream of living on the country-

side. Elaine Thomas had been quilting her entire adult life and immediately fell in love with Judy’s Quilt ‘N Sew after completing the move to rural Hampshire. “She was totally amazed there was a quilting store here,” Mike Thomas said. “She was a customer, before she became an owner.” Entering retirement age, the two were looking to operate a local shop to occupy their interests. Mike Thomas retired from his career as a pharmacist to oversee the day-to-day activities and do in-store service repairs on customers’ sewing machines. Elaine Thomas still works as home health care director at Sherman Hospital in Elgin, but routinely makes final business decisions on marketing and merchandise. Together, the two have kept a thriving destination store in business through personal customer service and high-quality products. The two plan to keep succeeding with the business, albeit under a different name. “We have to make it worthwhile for someone to travel a distance to come to see us,” Mike Thomas said. “When they come here, we want to make sure they get good customer service, they get the help that they need and, hopefully, find the product that they are looking for.”

8BUSINESS ROUNDUP U.S. trade deficit falls as oil imports plunge WASHINGTON – The U.S. trade deficit fell nearly 21 percent in December from November to $38.6 billion, the Commerce Department said Friday. That’s the smallest in nearly three years. Exports rose 2.1 percent to $186.4 billion. Exports of oil and other petroleum products rose to the highest level on record. Overseas shipments of agriculture goods and aircraft also increased. Imports shrank 2.7 percent to $224.9 billion. Oil imports plunged to 223 billion barrels, the fewest since February 1997. “All this is encouraging and ... it now looks like exports will continue to strengthen as the year goes on,” said Paul Ashworth, an economist at Capital Economics. A survey of U.S. manufacturers, released last week, showed that export orders grew in January for the second straight month. A narrower trade gap boosts growth because it means U.S. companies earned more from overseas sales while consumers and businesses spent less on foreign products. Fewer exports were one of the reasons the government’s first estimate of economic growth in the OctoberDecember quarter showed a contraction at an annual rate of 0.1 percent. The December trade deficit figures were not available when the government reported its estimate last week. Jim O’Sullivan, chief U.S. economist at High Frequency Economics, estimates the improved trade picture will add 0.7 percentage point to economic growth in the October-December quarter. That would show growth at an annual rate of 0.6 percent.

Wholesale stockpiles dip 0.1 pct. in December WASHINGTON – U.S. wholesalers cut their stockpiles slightly in December while their sales were unchanged, suggesting businesses were cautious at the end of a weak quarter. The Commerce Department said wholesale business stockpiles dipped 0.1 percent in December from November, after a 0.4 percent rise the previous month. Inventories of furniture and automotive goods fell by the most in more than three years. Farm product stockpiles also dropped sharply, likely reflecting the impact of this summer’s drought in the Midwest. Less restocking reduces factory production, which slows economic growth. A big decline in restocking was a major reason the department estimated last week that the economy shrank in the October-December quarter. Wholesale inventories fell to $497.7 billion, roughly 29 percent above the post-recession low hit in September 2009.

Shopping for groceries can help save at the pump NORTHWEST HERALD Dominick’s and ExxonMobil have teamed up to provide Dominick’s shoppers a new way to save at the pump. Dominick’s shoppers and Mobil customers can now earn Reward Points for most products purchased at Dominick’s stores and redeem their Reward Points at participating Mobil locations. This new loyalty program will help maximize the value and savings provided to Dominick’s and Mobil customers through the combination of convenience and rewards. According to a recent Dominick’s survey, onethird of families go out of their way to look for deals because saving money is important to them.

Nearly three out of four people will drive out of their way to purchase more affordable gas, and 76 percent of consumers said they would change where they grocery shop and purchase gas to save money. With more than a quarter of consumers spending up to $175 on gas and up to $300 on groceries each month, saving money is important. “We understand the importance of stretching grocery dollars,” said Mir Aamir, president of Customer Loyalty and Digital Technologies at Safeway, the parent company of Dominick’s. “By teaming up with Mobil, we’re able to thank our customers with a loyalty program that makes two frequent and critical purchases lead to real savings.” Reward Points are earned by purchasing

groceries, qualifying gift cards and pharmacy items with a Dominick’s Fresh Values Card and are easy to redeem at participating Mobil locations. For every 100 points earned by shopping at Dominick’s with a Dominick’s Fresh Values Card, shoppers get a 10 cent per gallon Reward. Shoppers can use up to 20 cents per gallon in Rewards on a single fill-up at a participating Mobil location with a maximum of 25 gallons and a limit of one vehicle per transaction. Shoppers can redeem their Reward Points by simply swiping their Dominick’s Fresh Values Card or by entering their linked phone number at the pump before fueling up.

Nine things Apple could do with $137B The Associated Press

Apple Inc. has recently come under attack for its practice of stockpiling cash. At the end of last year, the company was sitting on $137 billion – and the heap keeps growing. Corporations normally don’t hoard cash the way Apple does. They keep enough around for immediate needs, and either invest the rest in their operations or dole it out to shareholders in the form of dividends or stock buybacks. If they need more cash for, say, an acquisition, they borrow it. Apple has never explained why it is salting away so much money – other than to say the company is preserving its options. The money belongs to shareholders, so Apple is limited in what it can legally do with it. Leaving legality aside, here are some things Apple could do with $137 billion: •฀Give฀every฀American฀a฀ check for $437. •฀Buy฀213฀million฀iPhones฀ at the average wholesale price, enough for every American who lives east of the Mississippi River, plus Texas. •฀Based฀on฀market฀value฀at฀ Friday’s close, Apple could acquire฀Facebook,฀Groupon,฀ LinkedIn, Netflix, Pandora, Research฀In฀Motion฀(Blackberry), Yahoo, Yelp, Zillow and Zynga – and have more than $2 billion left to spare. •฀ Create฀ a฀ stack฀ of฀ dollar bills 9,300 miles high, 38 times higher than the orbit of the International Space Station. •฀Buy฀100,000฀luxury฀Manhattan apartments, enough to house the population of Omaha. •฀Foot฀the฀bill฀for฀U.S.฀federal spending on education for two years. •฀ Give฀ every฀ Apple฀ employee a $1.7 million bonus. •฀Double฀U.S.฀foreign฀economic aid to the developing world for three and half years. •฀ Provide฀ shareholders฀ with a one-time dividend of $145 per share.

Removing the uncertainty from your divorce The more prevalent divorce becomes, the more financially complicated it becomes. Sadly, half of all divorces and even more second marriages end prematurely. It would be reasonable to expect that the law, the process and even the outcome could be accurately forecast. Surprisingly, this is not the case. This uncertainty is the source of considerable emotional turmoil and anxiety during the divorce process. Some ways I help clients include motivating and educating them about financial fundamentals and encouraging them to get organized. As they begin to understand their situation the old adage “knowledge is power,” comes to mind. This process may help your advisers uncover hidden assets, be most efficient with your case and their time and ultimately save you money. With this as a goal then, here are some tasks for you to complete ahead of negotiations or official financial filings with the court.

Copy and understand income tax statements and investment reports. Review current pay stubs, bonuses, deductions and expenses. Establish a credit history in your name and order a copy of your joint credit report. Reaffirm the ownership of all assets

Finance Graham Craig and how they are registered. Review life, disability and medical insurance policies. Call human resources and understand all future pensions and profit sharing plans as well as employee benefit summaries. Clarify mortgage terms on all real estate holdings. Call the utility companies and obtain annual costs for heat and air conditioning bills on your primary residence. Unless you have a substantial settlement in divorce I advise clients to be prepared to let the marital home go. It’s a common mistake to negotiate for this when and if you can’t afford it. A home is an illiquid asset that is very expensive to maintain – mortgage, taxes, insurance, utilities, and unexpected repairs add up quickly. A water heater or furnace can be expensive to replace. If you decide to keep the house as part of your settlement and later want to sell consider the opportunity cost. You will have to pay Realtor fees, moving costs, the housing market may be softer then

when your divorce was finalized and perhaps repairs are needed to market the house. If you stand to gain from the sale consider that a couple can exclude $500,000 in capital gains while the single rate is only $250,000. The alternative would be to sell the house and split all proceeds and take advantage of the joint exclusion.

Spend time preparing a thorough monthly budget. During support negotiations you will need to know how much money you will be left with after taxes are paid to understand the impact of various proposals. The first step is to know what is taxable and not. Payments classified as child support are not taxable to the receiving spouse and not tax-deductible by the paying spouse. Payments classified as spousal support or alimony are taken into income for tax purposes by the receiving spouse and deductible from income by the paying spouse. Note that additional income may move you to a different tax rate. Compare your after-tax income to your budget to understand your new “financial reality.”

Insure your settlement proceeds to guarantee the certainty of your settlement. Include in your final divorce settlement a life insurance policy on

your alimony-paying spouse. Make sure you are the policy owner and beneficiary and your ex-spouse pays the premium. This will protect your settlement and your financial future should there be a premature death. Money issues and all its complexities are prominently at the forefront of divorce. Judges, attorneys and even other financial advisers look to a certified divorce financial analyst to inform them on the the financial issues around divorce and to assist them with dividing retirement assets, projecting settlement scenarios, forecasting cash flows, outcomes and more. A CDFA can assess your current assets, liabilities, and expenses and assist you with creating a monthly budget, proposals for division of assets and liabilities and assessing future, postdivorce needs. Remove the uncertainty of your divorce by understanding your situation and hiring the right team. Mistakes made can last a lifetime and a dollar spent with a specialized divorce practitioner is a dollar well spent, indeed.

McDonald’s sales fall 1.9%

Postal Service lost $1.3 billion in fourth quarter

The Associated Press

By PAULINE JELINEK The Associated Press WASHINGTON฀–฀The฀U.S.฀Postal฀Service lost $1.3 billion in the final three months of last year despite a blizzard of campaign advertising for the fall political elections and a big holiday mail and shipping season. The loss announced Friday was far less than the $3.3 billion in the comparable quarter the previous fiscal year, but still showed the effects of a continued decline in first-class mailing as customers continue to flock to the Internet for emailing, bill paying and the like. In releasing their financial report, postal officials pleaded anew with Congress to give them the flexibility to better manage the agency – including to free it from a mandate that they prepay for expected retiree health care costs. Considering its operations alone, the agency actually made $100 million delivering the mail – earning $17.7 billion in revenue against $17.6 billion in operating฀expenses.฀But฀the฀health฀care฀funding and some other expenses pushed it

Postmaster General and CEO Patrick R. Donahoe speaks during a news conference at U.S. Postal Service headquarters on Wednesday in Washington. to a net loss. “We can’t continue to operate on a precipice,” the service’s Chief Financial Officer Joe Corbett said in a conference call for the press. In a move to cut costs, the Postal Service had announced Wednesday that it plans to end Saturday mail deliveries in August, although it will continue sixday-a-week package delivery – setting up a possible run-in with some members of Congress who don’t want the Saturday cutback. In October through December, the first quarter of fiscal year 2013, the Postal Service said:

•฀Its฀operating฀revenue฀of฀$17.7฀billion฀ was a decrease of less than 1 percent from the same quarter in fiscal year 2012. •฀Total฀expenses฀of฀$18.9฀billion฀were฀a฀ 9.8 percent decrease from the year-earlier $20.9 billion. •฀ First฀ class฀ mail฀ declined฀ 4.5฀ percent. •฀Standard฀mail฀such฀as฀advertising฀ increased 3.6 percent with help from the elections. •฀ Shipping฀ and฀ package฀ volume฀ increased 4 percent. •฀Total฀mail฀volume฀was฀43.5฀billion฀ pieces compared to 43.6 billion the previous year.

NEW YORK – McDonald’s says a key sales figure dropped in January as the world’s biggest hamburger chain faced ongoing weakness in Japan. T h e ฀ O a k ฀ B r o o k - b a s e d฀ company said global sales at restaurants open at least 13 months dropped 1.9 percent for the month. The figure is a key metric because it strips out the volatility of newly opened and closed locations. In the region encompassing Asia, the Middle East and Africa, McDonald’s said its sales sank 9.5 percent in January. The company is facing particular difficulty in Japan, where it says customers have been eating at home more often since the earthquake and tsunami in 2011. In the U.S., McDonald’s said the figure edged up 0.9 percent. The addition of the Grilled฀ Onion฀ Cheddar฀ burger to the Dollar Menu boosted results.

By PHILLIP ALDER Newspaper Enterprise Association

Henry David Thoreau said, “When I hear music, I fear no danger. I am invulnerable. I see no foe. I am related to the earliest times, and to the latest.” Many years ago, an expert married couple played together, and whenever the wife was the declarer, the husband turned on his portable CD player. As you might have guessed, they are not still married. But if running tunes through your mind helps you to relax and think more clearly, do it. In today’s deal, what do you think of the bidding? After West leads his fourthhighest heart against three no-trump, what should South do? The South hand has only 19 high-card points, but it has a very good ﬁve-card suit, one 10 and two nines. It also has seven control points (ace - 2; king - 1), which is normal for a two-no-trump opening. So I agree with South’s bid. And North, with 4-3-3-3 distribution, was playing the percentages in not using Stayman. Declarer starts with seven top tricks: four spades, one heart, one diamond and one club. And there are at

least three more winners available from the club suit. The original declarer, though, was tone-deaf. Thinking West had led away from the heart king, South played low from the board. However, East won with his king and shifted to the diamond king. Declarer ducked, took the next diamond, crossed to dummy with a heart, and ran the club jack. But when the finesse lost, the contract went down two. If South had been humming, he would have won the first trick with dummy’s heart ace and taken the club finesse. Then he would have won at least 10 tricks.

CROSSWORD

HOROSCOPE

▲ ▲

TODAY - A number of impressive changes are likely to be made to your game plan in the year ahead. You’ve learned a lot from many past experiences, and now you should be ready to select some more fruitful targets. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- There’s a strong chance you’ll get an opportunity to disengage from an unproductive arrangement. Let go immediately without looking back. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Better insight can be acquired about something that you’ve been viewing from a purely intellectual level. Two important factors you need to consider are your feelings and emotions. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- If there is a project you’d like to launch but haven’t done so for one reason or another, you might get the perfect opportunity to let ‘er rip. It would be a mistake to put it off any longer. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Begin to establish some loftier goals than those to which you’ve been accustomed. Even if you fall short of your mark, you’re still likely to exceed any of your old targets. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Don’t neglect any opportunity to acquire some interesting information that could be pertinent to your present affairs. You’ll find more than a few ways to use it to your advantage. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Listen attentively to any ideas brought to you. There’s a very good chance you may learn about something that you didn’t even know existed and have a very good use for it. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- An important matter you’re trying to negotiate could finally be settled today. Even if it involves some tedious processing, there’s a good chance everything will work out well. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You’re not going to find a better day to start the diet or exercise program you’ve been promising yourself you’d begin. The odds are better than usual that you’ll reach your goal. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- It appears that you’ll get your chance to exercise greater management of something in which you’ve wanted to play a more active role. Don’t hesitate to assert yourself. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- A constructive adjustment that could have an effect on your entire family can be made. Even if not everybody is ready to participate, they’ll hop on board later. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- It would help you immensely to make your immediate plans more concise and orderly. Put your focus only on the things you intend to complete within the next two weeks. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Be alert for financial trends that could be personally rewarding. However, don’t expect an immediate harvest from what you plant now; give it some time to mature.

Furthermore, Dr. Shakeel received extensive hands-on training and assisted with numerous successful cases, under the guidance of the pioneer of the All-on-Four procedure, Dr. Paulo Malo of Portugal (2010). Few in the dental industry possess his mastery of the combined surgical and prosthetic demands of successful implant dentistry, especially executing the All-On-Four procedure. IDEAL PATIENTS The All-On-Four technique is for patients dissatisﬁed with their current dentures or for those who have

no practical alternatives for saving their remaining teeth. In most all cases, patients lacking the bone volume required to support traditional implants are able to enjoy the many beneﬁts of a permanent solution to missing teeth through the All-OnFour procedure. THE TEETH IN A DAY PROCESS This amazing technique enables you to achieve a beautiful, new Smile in a Day by utilizing four implants placed in each arch to which the replacement teeth are securely attached. Gentle oral sedation assures that you receive maximum safety and comfort throughout the procedure. In addition, the entire process, including any necessary extractions, can be completed in one day with minimal recovery time.The result is a fully functional set of teeth that look and feel natural, improves your self-conﬁdence and allows you to once again experience the foods and activities you enjoy most.

DISCOVER THE BENEFITS • Requires minimal recovery • Reduces overall cost when compared to single implants • Eliminates the need for bone grafting in most all cases • Allows for easy maintenance through proper oral hygiene • Restores the ability to eat all types of foods • Relieves the many frustrations of removable appliances • Ensures long-term results with the potential to last a lifetime • Renews a youthful appearance through bone level stabilization • Creates a whole new smile in just one day • Enhances self-conﬁdence and overall quality of life For more information on Teeth in a Day or on All-On-Four Dental Implants, contact:
