Suburban life poverty County does not escape trend of struggling residents

Candidate: Arm guards in schools County sheriff hopeful sparks debate with plan By SARAH SUTSCHEK ssutschek@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – One candidate for McHenry County sheriff wants to put armed guards in all schools, although the plan has its detractors. Jim Harrison outlines his plan, called “Shield Our Students,” on his election website. Harrison wants every school, including private ones, staffed by an armed officer each school day from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. The program calls for pooling all state-certified law enforcement officers in the county, current and retired, and compiling a list of those interested in working part-time during off-duty hours.

Jim Harrison, who is running for McHenry County sheriff, wants every school staffed by an armed officer each school day. Harrison said funding could come from school districts, municipalities and the county.

early 10,300 more McHenry County residents now live in poverty than four years ago, a “creeping poverty” trend that many local and statewide experts say is widespread among the Chicago suburbs. The economic downturn, escalating costs of living, sluggish wages and job loss have pounded many living and working in Chicago’s more affluent collar counties, including McHenry, Lake, DuPage, Kane and Will. According to the Social IMPACT Research Center – a division of the Heartland Alliance that releases an annual statewide report on poverty – living below the poverty line is defined by an income of $11,484 for an individual; $14,657 for a family of two; $17,916 for a family of three; and $23,021 for a fam-

ily of four. In 2007, individuals throughout McHenry County living below the poverty line stood at 5.7 percent, an annual U.S. Census survey of areas with 65,000-plus population found. That percentage in 2011 swelled to 9.2 percent, totaling 28,226 residents. “There is a crisis here. People can’t afford to live where they are living,” said Jerry Monica, Habitat for Humanity of McHenry County’s executive director. “There is a creeping poverty that exists. It’s the lousy economy. It is hurting us.” Monica has seen more low-income families apply for the group’s homeownership program. The number of families seeking assistance from Habitat’s critical homerepair program is nearing triple digits for the first time in three years, he said.

Manufacturing, medical at top for Illinois jobs By DAVID MERCER The Associated Press

CHAMPAIGN – Illinois’ widening medical industry and its old standby, manufacturing, may be the best places to look for a job this year, although some of the positions will require increasing levels of education and training and many won’t pay what they might have just a few years ago, experts said. Overall, 17 percent of Illinois employers plan to add staff during the first quarter of this year, up 3 percent from a year earlier, according to a survey from the staffing firm ManPower Group. About 71 percent plan to keep staffing levels the same.

Illinois’ manufacturing job base grew 2.4 percent, from 579,900 jobs in December 2011 to 594,100 last month. “Manufacturing in Illinois is going to always be relatively strong,” said Tom Gimbel, CEO of LaSalle Network, a Chicagobased firm.

Can you spell t-h-e-s-p-i-a-n? I’ve taken to the stage for what only my mom would describe as the “performing arts” exactly three times in my life. In my final performance, I played the Mouse King in a nonmusical production of “The Nutcracker Suite.” I had all of two lines, if memory serves, one of which went something along the lines of, “Get them!” It wasn’t quite a soliloquy, but I delivered the pronouncement with a pitch and a cadence that would have made Sidney Poitier proud. I was just 8 years old and in the third grade at the time, but I was proud. Had they handed out Tonys for Best Supporting Role in an Elementary School Play, I surely would have, well ... I would have had Mom’s vote anyway. I dig way deep into my résumé today because I’m about to end my 36-year absence from the stage. Someone please notify TMZ. Paul Lockwood – president of the nonprofit TownSquare Players, McHenry County’s oldest active community theater group – has invited me to participate in one of the group’s upcoming performances of “The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee.” The musical comedy will be staged Friday and Saturday nights and Sunday afternoons beginning March 8 and ending March 24 at the Woodstock Opera House. My single appearance will be at 3 p.m. Sunday, March 24. Yes, the encore production. You won’t want to miss it. Or maybe you will. I don’t know. To summarize, the Tony awardwinning musical centers around a fictional spelling bee at a middle school in – where else – Putnam County. What’s unique about this comedy is that four audience members are selected before the curtains open to join the ensemble cast on stage. The audience members play some of the spellers competing in the bee. They actually have to spell words, after asking such standard questions as, “What does the word mean” and “Can you please use it in a sentence?” Lockwood and other TownSquare

VIEWS Dan McCaleb Players staff thought that it might stir greater interest if they sought out local public figures to fill one of the four audience spots in each of the nine performances. In addition to myself, he’s lined up: • Woodstock High School Principal Corey Tafoya for the March 8 production; • Woodstock Independent publisher Cheryl Wormley on March 9; • Two-time defending McHenry County Bee champion Lucas Urbanski of Immanuel Lutheran School on March 10; • Woodstock Mayor Brian Sager on March 15; • McHenry County College President Vicky Smith on March 16; • And McHenry County Judge Robert Wilbrandt on March 22. He still is working on wannabe stage actors for the March 17 and March 23 productions. “I think it will provide a lot of fun and amusement for, we’re saying, a PG13 kind of audience,” said Lockwood, who is co-producing the play along with retired Johnsburg High School drama teacher Roger Zuwacki, who also is directing. While I admit that I’ll be stepping outside my comfort zone, I also think that I’m more worried about embarrassing myself in the spelling competition than I am with stage fright. Even though I’m a “newspaper editor,” I’m no Lucas Urbanski. There’s an old saying in our business: Every editor needs an editor. And those who edit this column or any of my other ramblings know that I’m not much of a wordsmith. If it weren’t for spell-check software, I likely would have been forced out of the industry a long time ago. My 12-year-old son regularly beats me at Words with Friends. But it’s all in fun – even if it’s at my own expense – and for a good cause. The performance arts are an im-

portant part of every community. And like many arts groups since the Great Recession hit in 2007, the TownSquare Players could use a boost. “Financially, we’re not as solid as we would like to be,” Lockwood said. “We’ve got some outstanding loans that we need to be paying off. This is the last show that we will be producing for this season. We’re hoping that we get a lot more people in the seats.” So if you’re open any of these dates, consider seeing “The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee.” And if you want a chance to be one of the audience members who gets on stage, get there about 45 minutes before showtime. Tickets are priced at $23 for adults and $20 for students and senior citizens. You can buy tickets at the Woodstock Opera House box office or online at woodstockoperahouse.com. ••• Welcome back: You might have noticed last week that we announced that Jason Schaumburg is returning to the Northwest Herald to replace me as editor, effective March 4.

Northwest Herald Web Poll Question

WASHINGTON – Since a deadly airline crash in 2009, the government hasn’t kept its promise to ensure that major airlines are holding their smaller partners to the same safety standards, a federal watchdog says. The Transportation Department’s inspector general faults the Federal Aviation Administration for not taking steps to encourage the big airlines “to consistently share safety information and best practices” with regional airlines that operate flights under contract for them. That business link is known as code-sharing, by which one airline sells tickets for seats on a flight operated by another airline – United and United Express, for example. More than half of all airline flights in the U.S. are operated by regional airlines using names such as United Express, Delta Connection, American Connection and US Airways Express under code-

sharing arrangements. A flight operated by regional carrier Colgan Air for Continental Airlines under the name Continental Express crashed in February 2009 near Buffalo, N.Y., killing 50 people. After that crash, officials at the department and the FAA said they would begin reviewing code-share contracts to see whether they impinged on safety.

some regional carriers were hiring pilots with as few as 250 hours of flight experience, which FAA rules allow. Major airlines typically hired pilots with about 10 times that much experience. After the crash, pilot unions and safety advocates said regional carriers were driven to cut corners on safety, including hiring inexperienced pilots at low wages, in part to meet performance goals required under the code-sharing contracts. Airlines that met their goals often earned more money under the agreements, while those that failed to meet such goals were sometimes penalized. The FAA, despite earlier promises, isn’t reviewing any code-share contracts for their safety implications, and the Transportation Department reviews only a small share for their potential economic impact, not safety, the report said. “As a result, most domestic code-share agreements go into effect without being reviewed by any [federal] regulatory entity,” the report said.

Gun ban would protect 2.2K firearms By EILEEN SULLIVAN The Associated Press

AP file photo

President Barack Obama waves Wednesday as he leaves the White House in Washington, D.C. Obama and congressional Republicans made no progress last week in heading off $85 billion in budget-wide cuts that automatically will take effect March 1.

Budget cuts may be harsher than reality By ALAN FRAM The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Get ready for two weeks of intensifying warnings about how crucial, popular government services are about to wither. Many of the threats could come true. President Barack Obama and congressional Republicans made no progress this week in heading off $85 billion in budget-wide cuts that automatically will take effect March 1. Lacking a bipartisan deal to avoid them and hoping to heap blame and pressure on GOP lawmakers, the administration is offering vivid details about the cuts’ consequences: trimmed defense contracts, less secure U.S. embassies and furloughed air traffic controllers. At stake is a range of automatic cuts. Between March 1 and Sept. 30, the remainder of the government’s budget year, it would mean reductions of 13 percent for defense programs and 9 percent for other programs, according to the White House budget office. The cuts, plus nearly $1 trillion more over the coming decade, were concocted two years ago. A look at the cuts and the impact the administration says they would have, based on letters and testimony to Congress: • A key reminder: Social Security, Medicare and veterans’ benefits, Medicaid and a host of other benefit programs are exempted. The cuts take effect over a seven-month period; they don’t all crash ashore March 1. If a bipartisan deal to ease them is reached, lawmakers could restore some or all the money retroactively. • On the other hand: Left in effect, these cuts are real even though their program-byprogram impact is unclear. The law limits the administration’s flexibility to protect favored initiatives, but the White House has told agencies to avoid cuts presenting “risks to life, safety or health” and to minimize harm to crucial services. • Defense: Troops at war would be protected, but there would be fewer Air Force flying hours, less training for some Army units and cuts in naval forces. A $3 billion cut in the military’s Tricare health care system could diminish elective care for military families and retirees. • Health: The National Institutes of Health would lose $1.6 billion, trimming cancer research and drying up funds for hundreds of other research projects. Health departments would give 424,000 fewer tests for the AIDS virus. More than

373,000 people may not receive mental health services. • Food and agriculture: About 600,000 low-income pregnant women and new mothers would lose food aid and nutrition education. Meat inspectors could be furloughed up to 15 days, shutting meatpacking plants intermittently and costing up to $10 billion in production losses. • Homeland Security: Fewer border agents and facilities for detained illegal immigrants. Reduced Coast Guard air and sea operations, furloughed Secret Service agents and weakened efforts against cyberthreats to computer networks. The Federal Emergency Management Agency’s disaster relief fund would lose more than $1 billion. • Education: Seventy thousand Head Start pupils would be removed from the prekindergarten program. Layoffs of 10,000 teachers and thousands of other staffers because of cuts in federal dollars that state and local governments use for schools. Cuts for programs for disabled and other special-needs students. • Environment: Diminished Environmental Protection Agency monitoring of oil spills, air pollution and hazardous waste. The color-coded air quality forecasting system that keeps schoolchildren and others inside on bad-air days would be curtailed or eliminated. • State Department: Slow security improvements at overseas facilities, cuts in economic aid in Afghanistan and malaria control in Africa. • Internal Revenue Service: Furloughed workers would reduce the IRS’ ability to review returns, detect fraud and answer taxpayers’ questions. It offered no specifics. • FBI: Furloughs and a hiring freeze would have the equivalent impact of cutting 2,285 employees, including 775 agents. Every FBI employee would be furloughed 14 workdays. • Labor: More than 3.8 million people jobless for six months or longer could see their unemployment benefits reduced by as much as 9.4 percent. Thousands of veterans would lose job counseling. Fewer Occupational Safety and Health Administration inspectors could mean 1,200 fewer visits to work sites. One million fewer people would get help finding or preparing for new jobs. • Housing: The Department of Housing and Urban Development said about 125,000 poor households could lose benefits from the agency’s Housing Choice Voucher program and risk becoming homeless.

WASHINGTON – Congress’ latest crack at a new assault weapons ban would protect more than 2,200 specific firearms, including a semi-automatic rifle that is nearly identical to one of the guns used in the bloodiest shootout in FBI history. One model of that firearm, the Ruger .223 caliber Mini14, is on the proposed list to be banned, while a different model of the same gun is on a list of exempted firearms in legislation the Senate is considering. The gun that would be protected from the ban has fixed physical features and can’t be folded to be more

compact. Yet the two firearms are equally deadly. “What a joke,” said former FBI agent John Hanlon, who survived the 1986 shootout in Miami. He was shot in the head, hand, groin and hip with a Ruger Mini-14 that had a folding stock. Two FBI agents died and five others were wounded. Hanlon recalled lying on the street as brass bullet casings showered on him. He thought the shooter had an automatic weapon. Both models of the Ruger Mini-14 specified in the proposed bill can take detachable magazines that hold dozens of rounds of ammunition. “I can’t imagine what the difference is,” Hanlon said.

President Barack Obama has called for restoring a ban on military-style assault weapons and limiting the size of ammunition magazines. A bill introduced last month by Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif. would ban 157 specific firearms designed for military and law enforcement use and exempt others made for hunting purposes. It also would ban ammunition magazines that hold more than 10 rounds. Yet there are firearms that would be protected under Feinstein’s proposal that can take large capacity magazines like the ones used in mass shootings that enable a gunman to fire dozens of rounds of ammunition with-

out reloading. Feinstein said in a written response to questions from The Associated Press that the list of more than 2,200 exempted firearms was designed to “make crystal clear” that the bill would not affect hunting and sporting weapons. The December shooting at an elementary school in Newtown, Conn., that left 26 students and educators dead forced Washington to focus on curbing gun violence, a risky political move not tried in decades. The gun industry, which is fighting any sort of ban, says gun ownership in the U.S. is the highest it’s ever been, with more than 100 million firearms owners.

The driver of the car, Jeremiah Johnson, 33, led officers on a chase early Friday morning that exceeded speeds of 110 mph, police said. Johnson, who authorities say had been involved in a lengthy custody battled over the boy, was pronounced dead at the scene. The boy was found crying behind the driver’s seat under a pile of clothes and was taken to a hospital with serious injuries, the newspaper reported. Police have not released the boy’s name.

A Pakistani man comforts another mourning for a family member who died Saturday in a bomb blast at a local hospital in Quetta, Pakistan.

Bomb at Pakistani market kills many By ABDUL SATTAR The Associated Press QUETTA, Pakistan – A bomb hidden in a water tank ripped through a crowded vegetable market in a mostly Shiite neighborhood in a southwestern Pakistani city Saturday, killing at least 65 people and wounding almost 200, officials said. Police said many of those wounded in the explosion in Quetta remain in critical condition. The blast, which police said targeted the country’s minority Shiite Muslim sect, left many victims buried under rubble, but authorities did not know how many. It was the deadliest incident since bombings targeting Shiites in the same city killed 86 people earlier this year, leading to days of protests that eventually toppled the local government. Shiites have been increasingly attacked by militant groups who view them as heretics and non-Muslims in this Sunni Muslim-dominated country. Many of the Shiites in Quetta, including those in the neighborhood attacked Saturday, are Hazaras, an ethnic group that migrated to Pakistan from Afghanistan more than a century ago. Quetta police chief Zubair Mahmood told reporters that the bomb was hidden in a water tank and towed into the market by a tractor. He said the blast destroyed shops in the neighborhood and caused a two-story building to collapse. “We fear some victims may be found buried there,” he said. Mahmood said police did

not know who was behind the bombing, but a local television station reported that Lashkere-Jhangvi, a Sunni extremist group that has targeted Shiites in the past, had called to claim responsibility. Senior police officer Wazir Khan Nasir said the bomb, set off in a residential suburb, was detonated by remote control. Another officer, Samiullah Khan, said the bomb was detonated while dozens of women and children were buying produce for their evening meal. Local residents rushed the victims to three different area hospitals, often in private vehicles because there weren’t enough ambulances to transport the victims. A massive plume of white smoke rose over the area after the bomb blast. Television footage of the scene showed the streets littered with rubble from destroyed buildings, mixed with fruits and vegetables and shattered street carts. Near one of the hospitals where the dead and wounded were taken, a man stood weeping as people were being taken in on stretchers. “Look at our misery! We are helpless,” he said. Members of the minority Shiite sect took to the city’s streets in angry protest, blocking roads with burning tires and throwing stones at passing vehicles. Many also started firing into the air in an attempt to keep people away from the area in case there was a secondary explosion. Sometimes insurgents stagger the explosions as a way to target people who rush to the scene to help, increasing the death toll.

Russian region starts recovery from meteor By LAURA MILLS The Associated Press CHELYABINSK, Russia – As a small army of people worked to replace acres of windows shattered by the enormous explosion from a meteor, many joked Saturday about what had happened in this troubled pocket of Russia. One of the most popular jests: Residents of the meteor were terrified to see Chelyabinsk approaching. The fireball that streaked into the sky over this tough industrial city about sunrise Friday was undeniably traumatic. Nearly 1,200 people were reported injured by the shock wave from the explosion, estimated to be as strong as 20 Hiroshima atomic bombs. But it brought a sense of cooperation in a troubled region. Large numbers of volunteers came forward to fix the damage caused by the explosion, and many residents came together on the Internet – first to find out what happened and soon to make jokes. Chelyabinsk, nicknamed Tankograd because it produced the famed Soviet T-34 tanks, can be as grim as its backbone heavy industries. Long winters where temperatures routinely hit minus-22 Fahrenheit add to a general dour mien, as do worries about dangerous facilities in the surrounding region. In 1957, a waste tank at the

Mayak nuclear weapons plant in the Chelyabinsk region exploded, contaminating 9,200 square miles and prompting authorities to evacuate 10,000 nearby residents. It now is Russia’s main nuclear waste disposal facility. A vast plant for disposing of chemical weapons lies 50 miles east of the city. “The city is a place where people always seem bitter with each other,” said music teacher Ilya Shibanov. But the meteor “was one of the rare times when people started to live together through one event.” “For most people, it’s a good excuse for a joke,” he said. It also is why Shibanov quickly concocted a rap video that got wide Internet attention, including the lines: “Pow, pow, pow – everything flew and factory windows crumbled. This Friday the bars are going to be full, so be ready for the aftermath.” But for many, it’s provided a reason to roll up their sleeves and get to work repairing the more than 4,000 buildings in the city and region where windows were shattered or to provide other services. More than 24,000 people, including volunteers, have mobilized in the region to cover windows, gather warm clothes and food, and make other relief efforts, the regional governor’s office said. Crews from glass companies in adjacent regions were flown in.

8BRIEFS Sectarian kidnappings spread strife in Syria

Texas police fatally shoot fugitive Florida prisoner

Conviction thrown out in 2008 Ala. bridge deaths

BEIRUT – A rural patch of north Syria has been shaken by a series of tit-for-tat, sectarian kidnappings, anti-regime activists said Saturday, highlighting how much the country’s civil war has enflamed tensions between different religious groups. While all activists agreed that kidnappings had spiked in recent days between armed men in neighboring Shiite and Sunni Muslim villages, reports of the numbers kidnapped by both sides ranged from a few dozen to more than 300. The kidnappings and the raw feelings they have provoked bode ill for the chances of reconciliation between Syrians, many of whom have come to see the civil war as either a sacred battle to advance their faith or a mortal struggle for the survival of their sect.

GRAPEVINE, Texas – The Florida prisoner who escaped in Texas after stabbing a detective with his eyeglasses was fatally shot early Saturday after refusing to cooperate with officers and lunging at them, police said. Alberto Morales was shot in a wooded area of Grapevine, a community near the Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport. It put an end to a massive fiveday manhunt that started when he escaped Monday from a Walmart parking lot after attacking the Miami-Dade, Fla., detective. Grapevine police Sgt. Robert Eberling said at a Saturday news conference that officers instructed Morales to lie on the ground and show his hands, but he rushed toward them. Morales, 42, was unarmed at the time of the shooting and was not wearing handcuffs.

MOBILE, Ala. – An Alabama appeals court has thrown out the 2009 conviction and death sentence of a man tried for killing four small children by tossing them off a coastal bridge, ruling publicity surrounding the case made it impossible for the suspect to have a fair trial in Mobile where the crime occurred. The Alabama Court of Criminal Appeals ordered a new trial for Lam Luong, whose wife testified he laughed when he told her their children – whose ages ranged from 3 years to just 4 months – never would be found. Alabama’s attorney general could appeal the ruling to the state Supreme Court. “It is clear that publicity surrounding the murders completely saturated the Mobile community in 2008,” the appeals court said in its ruling.

• GUARDS

Continued from page A1 “The societal problem is running amok and to stick your head in the sand and pretend it’s never going to happen is to ignore what happened in DeKalb,” said Harrison, referring to the Feb. 14, 2008, shooting at Northern Illinois University that left five students dead. That was a college, but the principle is the same in that school security is inadequate, Harrison said. Many local schools do have officers in schools regularly – some full time – but Harrison said his program calls for more than a liaison role. “Certainly any police presence in the school is helpful to perhaps make someone think twice about their plan, but I think there’s nothing quite as effective as having a policeman right there up front,” he said. “They’re not there to be a hall monitor. The position is there to protect.” Harrison said funding for his plan could come from school districts, municipalities and the county, shared via intergovernmental agreements. He also proposes seeking state and federal grants, such as from the U.S. Justice Department’s Office of Community

Oriented Policing Services. Because part-time officers would be used, there wouldn’t be overtime rates or benefits, Harrison said. “Funding a community endeavor like the ‘Shield Our Students’ program would require a conscious re-prioritization of the values that are most important to us as a community,” Harrison said. “In my opinion, no priority could be more important than protecting our schoolchildren from potential threats of violence and armed violence.” Leslie Schermerhorn, McHenry County regional superintendent of schools, said she had several concerns about such a program, namely cost and proper training for the officers. She also worries about the message to students that if there’s a need for an armed guard, school isn’t a safe place. In reality, schools still are one of the safest places for a student to be, she said. Schermerhorn spoke with Harrison and said she would work with whoever is sheriff, but she said the decision to have an armed police officer in all schools would be made by individual school districts. Undersheriff Andrew Zinke, who also is running for sheriff, said the Sandy Hook

shooting in Newton, Conn., heightened the national debate over school safety. He said Harrison’s plan was “political grandstanding” and “not a well-thought-out idea.” “I do not believe the sheriff should dictate to our local police chiefs, educators or municipalities,” Zinke said. “We are professional partners in the community.” Bill Prim, another candidate for sheriff, said he’s not opposed to the idea of armed guards in schools, but he sees Harrison’s plan as cost-prohibitive. “I do think it’s a great idea to at least initiate the conversations with the school districts throughout the county,” Prim said. “I don’t necessarily subscribe to his plan in total.” Algonquin Police Chief Russell Laine said Harrison’s program is an oversimplification of the problem. One officer assigned to cover a school with 2,000 students won’t make a significant difference, he said. Laine said there needs to be more understanding and a better ability to assess risks ahead of an incident, and schools are making efforts toward sharing that information. “I don’t think that just putting a police officer into a school is going to make that necessarily a safer environment,” Laine said.

Watchers: Manufacturing job growth to continue • JOBS Continued from page A1 “Job creation has been relatively strong in the last two years,” said John Challenger, CEO of the Chicago-based outplacement firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas Inc. Experts say Illinois’ biggest job creator in 2013 could be the federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, which is expected to ratchet up the demand for a wide range of jobs. Hospitals may need to add staff in positions that require everything from a four-year degree plus experience to en-

try-level jobs that require little education. St. John’s Hospital in Springfield hires about 140 RNs a year for a variety of positions around the hospital, many of them straight out of school, said Pat Schulz, head of the hospital’s human resources department. Manufacturing job growth also should continue this year, job-market watchers say. Even with decades of Rust Belt exodus, companies that make things in Illinois – auto parts, heavy machinery, medical devices, hardware and more – have been a relatively steady job provider in an un-

even recovery. Over the past year, Illinois’ manufacturing job base grew 2.4 percent, from 579,900 jobs in December 2011 to 594,100 last month. One in every 9.7 nonfarming jobs in Illinois is in manufacturing. “Manufacturing in Illinois is going to always be relatively strong,” said Tom Gimbel, CEO of the Chicago-based staffing firm LaSalle Network. “You’ve got Caterpillar and Deere. ... That’s Midwestern products and Midwestern values. It mirrors the types of people that are out there. You’ve got people that want to have a [steady] job for 30 years.”

Ray Westman Owner, Verlo Mattress

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

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.

Harvard has highest poverty rate • POVERTY Continued from page A1 Leaders from McHenry County PADS and the Harvard Food Pantry share Monica’s concerns because they have seen demand for their services escalate since the recession began in 2008. Poverty in Chicago’s suburbs often is difficult to fathom because the suburbs are regarded as more wealthy than their inner-city neighbor, said Amy Terpstra, assistant director of the Social IMPACT Research Center. But the poverty trend quietly has changed during recent decades. In 1980, 75 percent of poverty in the Chicago area was located in the city, Terpstra said. The poverty pendulum in the Chicago region now is a 50/50 split between Chicago and its suburbs. The 10,300 more McHenry County residents who now live in poverty compared to 2007 are “emblematic” of the increasing poverty rates in the suburbs, Terpstra said. “It’s one of the poster [children] for this trend,” she said. The alliance’s newest report on poverty, released last month, showed 33 percent – 1.9 million – of Illinoisans are living in poverty, which equals one in three Illinois residents living in or near poverty. Poverty rates increased by 10 percent from 2010 in McHenry County, 24 percent in Lake County, 15 percent in Kane County and 14 percent in DuPage County, the report found. Will County was the only suburban area to see a decrease from 2010, with rates falling by 1.5 percent. “It hits very close to home,” Terpstra said. “The odds are you are coming across people every day who are a part of that 33 percent.”

The larger cities Cindy Chicoine spends every Tuesday and Thursday with people who make up the 33 percent living in or near poverty.

Most recent poverty estimates Harvard: 28.5 percent Woodstock: 13.7 percent McHenry: 10.4 percent Marengo: 9.9 percent Hebron: 9.3 percent Lake in the Hills: 7.4 percent Johnsburg: 6.1 percent Wonder Lake: 5.2 percent Crystal Lake: 4.2 percent Huntley: 4.1 percent Algonquin: 3 percent

Sources: U.S. Census American Community survey 3-year estimates and 5-year estimates Chicoine, co-director for the FISH of McHenry Food Pantry, didn’t hesitate when asked whether the pantry that serves low-income residents in the McHenry and Johnsburg area was seeing more demand. The group sees more than 500 families a month, a 20 percent jump from last year. The volunteers operate the pantry two days a week for five hours total. “It’s disturbing that there is that many people in need,” she said. “But I’m grateful we are able to support them and are able to be of assistance to them because a lot of them are really struggling.” The U.S. Census Bureau surveys poverty differently depending on an area’s population size. For areas between 20,000 and 65,000 people, the census collects data from households for three years before releasing the results. McHenry has one of the highest poverty rates out of the county’s larger cities. But the rate, 10.4 percent, has remained stable the past six years, a comparison of the census’s latest three-year surveys show. Nearly 2,785 of the city’s 28,712 population are living below the poverty line. Lake in the Hills has seen a dramatic jump in poverty. The Census Bureau put the city’s rate at 2.8 percent after surveying residents from 2006 to 2008. It escalated to 7.4 percent the

next three years. More than 3,200 Woodstock residents now are in poverty after the city’s rate increased from 10 percent in the middle of the decade to 13.7 percent in the latter half. Matt Kostecki, coordinator for McHenry County PADS, has seen more people seek the group’s homeless services and has seen younger faces request those services. Persistently low wages in the face of increasing living costs is driving the increase, he said.

COUPON

The small towns Linda Lindstrom sees more and more of her Harvard neighbors visit the local food pantry out of necessity. The roughly 8,700 residents who live in Harvard, northwest of Woodstock, have done so with persistently high poverty. Harvard’s rate is the highest in the county at 28.5 percent, according to the census, which tracks poverty at small towns in five-year increments. “We would love to see people go back to work and not needing us, but I don’t think that will happen for a while,” said Lindstrom, who directs the Harvard Food Pantry, which served 601 families last month. In Hebron, poverty stands at 9.3 percent. In Marengo, the rate is 9.9 percent. Johnsburg’s rate is lower at 6.1 percent. The Heartland Alliance has suggested raising the minimum wage and increasing access to affordable housing as potential solutions for solving the thorny poverty issue. Lindstrombelievestheescalating poverty trend throughout the county could slow once the economy improves. But she doesn’t know when, or if, that will happen. In the meantime, Lindstrom will serve with a heavy heart the many Harvard residents who use the pantry. “When I see single mothers with babies walking from town for food, it breaks my heart because it shouldn’t be like this,” she said. “But it is.”

Tackling homelessness There’s no place like home. It’s a phrase about 40 women and children will embody next month as they move from homeless shelters into permanent housing. In September, Home of the Sparrow, a transitional housing service for low-income women and children, partnered with the Housing Opportunity Development Corp. to renovate and build affordable, low-rent homes. Three duplexes were built, one three-unit home was restored in Woodstock, and one two-unit home was renovated in Fox River Grove. For the record The $1.9 million project was Kudos to Home of the Sparpaid for through row and the Housing Opporthe federal Neigh- tunity Development Corp. for borhood Stabilihelping homeless women and zation Program, children in McHenry County. which is administered by the Illinois Housing Development Authority. John Jones, executive director of Home of the Sparrow, said the housing helps meet the organization’s goal of moving women and children from homelessness to self-sufficiency. The benefits of a permanent residence cannot be overstated. There’s a sense of security for families that likely have had little. Children who may have had to switch schools multiple times as they move around will have a stable educational environment to attend. Helping children achieve stability should lead to fewer people needing assistance from government programs and social service agencies. It’s naive to think homelessness isn’t a problem in McHenry County: A point-in-time count in January done by the McHenry County PADS, part of the Pioneer Center for Human Services, found about 200 homeless individuals in the county. And there’s likely more. It’s foolish, too, to assume that these women would no longer be homeless if they would “just get a job,” as homelessness a multifaceted problem. The National Alliance to End Homelessness has found homelessness for families usually is caused by an unforeseen housing or financial crisis, a death in the family, a medical emergency, or abuse. Sometimes, it’s a combination of several of those. With the fragile economy of recent years coupled with rising costs, it’s understandable that many find themselves in unstable situations. Look at just housing: Home of the Sparrow says the average rent for a two-bedroom apartment in the county is $1,015 a month. More than 100 homeless women and children annually reside in Home of the Sparrow’s shelters; according to the organization’s website, the average monthly income of families when they enter is $77. When they leave, it’s $1,450. You do the math. We commend Home of the Sparrow and the Housing Opportunity Development Corp. for helping these women get on their feet, and we hope more partnerships committed to combating homelessness in McHenry County are born.

Job loss trends The Associated Press recently reported on the changing landscape for jobs in the United States. It made a good case that middle-class jobs eliminated by technology and the recession aren’t coming back. This is not the first time to hear such dire warnings. Imagine the fuss in the horse carriage industry 100 years ago as it tried to compete with the fledgling automobile. More recently, the typewriter vanished after being conquered by the personal computer. Generally, a disruptive improvement such as the automobile winds up creating more jobs than it eliminates. Historically, such changes have been good for the economy. However, the AP report indicates that this time may be different – due to the rapid improvement in computer software that allows machines to do more jobs with greater accuracy. The AP report is informative because it addresses a subject that politicians were unwilling to in last year’s elections. It’s easy to say that all the jobs are going to China, but a more accurate answer is that some of them are not going anywhere. They’re just disappearing. The Greenwood (Miss.) Commonwealth

8IT’S YOUR WRITE 800-pound gorilla To the Editor: As a baby boomer, my ears perk whenever I hear a politico espousing a fix for Social Security. There’s no doubt my generation is going to have a tremendous impact on the program. But retirees are not the 800-pound gorilla that nobody seems to see. (At least I didn’t until I stumbled across an article and did some research.) The gorilla is Social Security Disability Insurance. From November 2011 to November 2012, 1.27 million people were added to Social Security Disability to increase the rolls to 8.8 million Americans. You can do the math as to the percentage of growth in one year. According to economists Mark Duggan and Scott Imbermann, there are a couple of reasons for the growth of recipients: Eligibility requirements have been relaxed, and once on the rolls, case reviews are shoddy. The award formulas are more generous, which makes work less attractive. According to economist David Autor, a professor at M.I.T., in 2010 SSDI outlays grew at 5.6 percent compared with 2.2 percent for all other Social Security spending. Autor puts this in lay terms: In 1988 $1 of every $10 collected for Social Security went to SSDI; currently $1 from every $5 goes to the same. Probably the fastest-growing component of coverage is mental disorders, which comprise about 33 percent of all cases. I’ll leave you with one last sobering statistic; less than 1 percent of the SSDI recipients will ever return to the workforce. Steve Moore Cary

Won’t raise taxes To the Editor: Re-elect Linda Moore, Grafton Township supervisor. She has helped the needy and protected our money. She saved money while others were trying to spend it. Moore does a good job. The other candidates can only make promises; she has shown us that she is a fiscal conservative. We don’t need to spend a lot of money. Our taxing districts just keep taking more and more of our money. We can’t afford the everincreasing taxes. Politicians in our community, including the village of Huntley trustee who is running against Moore, should quit saying that the people don’t understand. When it comes time to vote, this candidate will find out that we do understand. I support Moore to be re-elected for Grafton Township supervisor. She has voted against increasing taxes, and will continue to do so if re-elected on Feb. 26 and in April.

Set record straight To the Editor: I think it is time for the rest of McHenry to be heard, not just the minority who have special interests. Let’s set the record straight. Route 31 is going to go through a major reshaping, from Route 120 north leading to a five-lane highway along a commercial corridor. The parcel in question is already over one-half zoned commercial. The church/school that is leading the opposition is facing much more of a problem from the highway widening than any gas station could bring. This city improvement will bring added tax revenue to McHenry,

and not just shift it from other businesses. The public always will go to the lowest provider. Consider traffic that travels through McHenry all summer on its way to Wisconsin and back. We hear the comments about a historical residential district. How many of these are historically plaqued? Change is sometimes difficult to accept, but there always is a reason for the change.

Is Marengo moving too fast? Riley Township officials question development, annexation plans By STEPHEN Di BENEDETTO sdibenedetto@shawmedia.com MARENGO – Some Riley Township officials and residents are concerned Marengo leaders are moving too hastily with their long-term development efforts as the city prepares to extend its limits to Interstate 90 next month. Riley Township Supervisor Karen Schnable said the city first directly revealed to the township its compre-

hensive plan 2½ weeks before the City Council endorsed it last week. The plan calls for industrial, commercial and residential development to the south and west of Marengo. City officials have been developing the plan while simultaneously talking with seven property owners within Riley Township about being annexed into city limits. The City Council was supposed to annex 750 acres into the city last week but delayed the vote until

March 11. “It’s all happening so fast,” Schnable said. “It’s very hard to get the word out to people when they adopt the plan, annex the land and annex more land.” The city is trying to annex 2,500 acres along Route 23, all the way to Interstate 90, to better negotiate with the Illinois Toll Highway Authority on funding a full interchange that could accelerate development. The council could vote on as many

editorial@nwherald.com McHENRY – Dana Ferguson stood in a room bare of furniture but full of smiling people, her voice wavering Saturday as she grasped the keys to her brand-new house. “I just want to thank everyone for this,” she said, “the friends and the family who’ve been there … everyone who put up with my questions … thank you. It’s really nice.” Ferguson, 37, and her 11-year-old son, Aidan, became the 23rd family to gain a new home through Habitat for Humanity of McHenry County. With the help of donors, volunteer labor and grant money, the nonprofit organization builds homes for low-income families, allowing them to pay on affordable zero-interest, 100 percent equity mortgages. The McHenry County chapter of Habitat has been in existence since 1995. The Fergusons’ new house is at

the northeast corner of Lincoln Road and Hillside Lane in McHenry, kittycornered from another Habitat home that was dedicated in December and across the street from a Habitatowned lot where another home is planned. Ferguson works full time as a customer service manager for a Lake Zurich-based manufacturing firm. Stopping occasionally to regain her composure, the single mom said she was beyond grateful for her chance at homeownership. “I was surprised how many people came and helped build,” said Ferguson, who herself spent 160 to 200 hours putting in flooring, installing insulation, hanging drywall, framing, putting up siding and painting walls.

“I have enjoyed every day coming out here and working with the volunteers. I had blisters on my fingers, I hammered so much.” Jerry Monica, executive director of Habitat for Humanity of McHenry County, said under normal circumstances, it would have cost about $170,000 to build the 1,097-square-foot, three-bedroom home with one bathroom and attached garage. Thanks to the volunteer labor, corporate sponsorships, private donations and funding through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, Habitat will keep Ferguson’s mortgage to less than $400 a month. Habitat holds the mortgage on this and other homes it builds, and puts payments toward future projects. Monica, of Lake in the Hills, said among the chapter’s goals is to have 30 active mortgages to limit reliance on dwindling government funding.

But Schnable fears township residents are having a “difficult time digesting” the city’s development plans, even if the residents aren’t a part of the annexation.

SPRING GROVE – The salt trucks in Spring Grove are a little different from the ones that crisscross other small towns. That’s because the antiicing mixture being scattered across the roads was made in-house, saving taxpayers $30,000 over the past three years, said Matt Wittum, Spring Grove Public Works supervisor. “A lot of municipalities use liquids with their winter maintenance, but the majority of them are either larger municipalities or if they’re using them, they’re just buying them from vendors premade,” he said. In the large garage behind Spring Grove Village Hall is a makeshift blending operation. A livestock tank the village bought from a local farmer is filled with road salt. The salt is mixed with water, then a sugar-beet mixture called GeoMelt in gigantic tanks with neat, handwritten measurements added to the side. The program took a few years to build, Wittum said, but it didn’t cost much. The do-it-yourself operation is turning heads and will be featured in two industry publications: Public Works Magazine and the American Public Works Association Reporter. Spring Grove also has been salting three other communities’ roads so they can see how it works before they invest in their own system.

Economic policies OK’d by LITH aim to entice retailers By JOSEPH BUSTOS jbustos@shawmedia.com LAKE IN THE HILLS – Hoping to spark economic development, the village is offering incentives to encourage retail development along Routes 31 and 47. The Village Board last week approved a sales-tax sharing program and feereduction program for those corridors. “The Route 31 and Route 47 corridors contain the largest areas for future commercial development and have

the most challenges to development,” Village Administrator Gerald Sagona wrote in a memo to the Village Board. “Providing additional incentives in these corridors will hopefully entice a developer to come forward with a proposal that will be a benefit to the village.” Sagona said those two areas lack utilities, which would be large investments for developers. Along Route 31, there is property that is within the Cary and Algonquin borders as well.

“We want to make sure we’re in the race,” Sagona said in a phone interview. New businesses would be eligible for the sales-tax sharing program if they generate at least $2.5 million annual in taxable sales and $250,000 in project costs. The sales-tax sharing would be for a maximum 50 percent above an agreed-upon base amount and would run no longer than 10 years. Stores that would produce $2.5 million would

Sweet business move set in July Here is a local business success story: Mike and Sara Ervin and Mike’s sister, Mary Ervin, began selling chocolate at the Woodstock Farmers Market in 2011. In November 2011, they opened Ethereal Confections at 203 Main St. in Woodstock. Their chocolate business has grown so rapidly that in July they will move to bigger quarters (3,000 square feet) at 113 S. Benton St. Woodstock residents may recall this building as Harvest Moon Café and O’Leary’s Pub. All the candy is made on the premises, including chocolate bars, truffles and a series of different chocolate bark using organic ingredients. Their products are dairy- and gluten-free. Plans for the new location include a dessert café style with coffees, teas, hot chocolate and a variety of desserts such

The new location will allow Ethereal Confections to grow its wholesale business, which sells to grocery stores, wine shops and olive oil stores. “We have a healthy storefront business and an online store,” Sara Ervin said. “The Woodstock community has been supportive, and we’re excited to be part of it and help make the Square active.” ••• Monsignor Aaron Brodeski, pastor at St. Mary’s

Church, has been assigned by Bishop David Malloy of the Diocese of Rockford to become pastor of Holy Cross Church in Batavia effective Feb. 25. I have known Brodeski to be a kind and generous pastor for the past four years in Woodstock. He will be missed. His homilies stimulated my reflections and thinking about why we really are on this Earth. “I loved every part of our parish as well as my time working at Marian Central,” he said. “I would have been most happy to stay here for many years, too. I believe that for priests our promise of respect and obedience toward our bishop is a wonderful safeguard for following the will of God. So it is my intention to embrace this new assignment with peace and joy.” Malloy has assigned the Rev. Burt Absalon, pastor at

St. Bridget Parish in Rockford, to become pastor of St. Mary. ••• Family Alliance received $10,000 from the Mental Health Resource League for McHenry County (MHRL). The grant was in response to an application filed by the Family Alliance Center for Adult Care for partial funding of its scholarship program.

but also because liquids are more effective than salt brine. Salt brine is effective only when the pavement is at least 15 degrees in temperature; the GeoMelt and salt brine mixture can comfortably go to zero degrees without an issue, Wittum said. Liquids also are helpful because they weigh the salt down, keeping more of it on the road, and salt is activated by liquids, he said.

Shell gas station, car wash approved • POLICIES Continued from page B1 be stores such as Costco, Lowe’s, high-performing gas stations or successful CVS or Walgreens, Sagona said. The village approved an economic-incentive policy in 2010 to encourage commercial growth. It includes general guidelines, submittal requirements and an evaluation criteria. “Since adoption, we have not had an applicant come forward with a proposal,” Sagona wrote in a memo. If a business qualifies, the village would negotiate an agreement where sales-tax money would go back to the village, then money would be rebated back to the retailer. The village would make sure the money goes toward appropriate costs, Sagona said. The fee-reduction program would allow for a 50 percent reduction in filing, permit and inspection fees for commercial businesses investing at least $250,000 into a property within

the corridors. The programs are for 18 months and run from March 1 through Sept. 1, 2014. Dan Olson, the village’s community development director, said no project applications have been submitted for either corridor. “We’re just trying to focus on those two corridors to get something jump-started,” Olson said. In other action, a planned Shell gas station and car wash on Algonquin Road was approved last week. Glogovsky Oil Co. plans to build a 4,000-squarefoot convenience store with 16 gas pumps and a 4,650-squarefoot car wash on the north side of Algonquin Road across from Wentworth Drive. Construction is expected to begin in the spring. As part of the agreement with the village, the property owners would contribute up to $50,000 toward the construction of an 8-foot-wide bike path on the east side of Lakewood Road from Algonquin Road to Miller Road, pending approval of a federal grant.

Teeth in a Day Procedure with All-On-Four Dental Implants ‘‘Like having a second set of permanent teeth’’

Dr. M. Shakeel Diplomate with the International Congress of Oral Implantologists

Dr. Sunil Sinha Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon

By Dr. M. Shakeel LIFE IS TOO SHORT TO NOT FULLY ENJOY EACH AND EVERY REASON TO SMILE If you ﬁnd yourself avoiding family photos, ﬁrst impressions or even savoring your favorite foods, Dr. Shakeel’s unique dental implant techniques offer the solutions you’ve been searching for. The All-On-Four Dental Implants procedure - Teeth in a Day - offers simple, reliable and long-lasting results for patients who are missing teeth or experiencing the frustrations of loose, decayed and broken teeth. Though advanced technology and innovative techniques, dental implants are easier to place, less invasive and have a successful rate of over 95%.

WHY DR. SHAKEEL? With years of experience in the ﬁeld, Dr. Shakeel is a highly respected expert in the placement and restoration of dental implants from a single missing tooth to the entire upper and lower arch. His background in dental implant surgery provides a strong foundation that ensures medically safe and aesthetically beautiful results. 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:

She earned her master’s degree in music education at age 55. After she retired, she continued to give private lessons. Iris is survived by her children, Karen (William) Robinson and her stepchildren, Jay (Sue) Bruhnke and their children and grandchildren, and Kyle (Doreen) Bruhnke and his stepchildren and grandchildren. She is survived by her sister-in-law, Doreen Coates and her children and grandchildren; sister, Cindy (John) and their children; brother-in-law, Charles Liebman; and many nieces and nephews on the Bruhnke side. Iris was preceded in death by her parents; brother, Donald H. Coates; and baby sister, Lorraine.

RICHARD A. ‘RICK’ MILLER Born: Feb. 5, 1958; in Elgin Died: Feb. 15, 2013; in Janesville, Wis. JANESVILLE, Wis. – Richard A. “Rick” Miller, 55, of Janesville, Wis., died Friday, Feb. 15, 2013, at home with his wife and daughter (his girls) at his side. He was born in Elgin on Feb. 5, 1958, the son of Robert and Eleanor (Stoerp) Miller. Rick attended schools in Crystal Lake and Whitewater, Wis. He graduated with a bachelor’s degree in journalism from UW-Whitewater in 1982 and had a long career as a freelance photographer in south central Wisconsin. For the past eight years, Rick was the associate editor of the Milton Courier. He married the love of his life, Linda L. Larsen, on Oct. 19, 1985, in Clinton, Wis. In keeping with his appreciation of history, he was a member of the Historical Preservation Society in Milton, served as vice chair of the Goodrich Square Steering Committee, and was part of the Historical group saving the old Tracey Oil gas station in downtown Janesville. Music of all genres was part of his daily life, but he had a passion for the Blues and jamming with other musicians on his harps (harmonicas). Rick was, additionally, well read and had a wealth of information on many topics. He considered himself a bit of an expert about the automobile industry and loved to regale anyone who would listen to him. Not surprisingly, he enjoyed Formula 1 and Indy car racing. Rick also loved nature and camping. More than anything, he loved spending time with his girls. Every summer they traveled to national parks and museums. His love for his daughter, Mieke, or “doodlebug,” was beyond measure. Surrounded by his family, just days before he passed, he saw Mieke graduate with honors from Craig High School in a private ceremony at home. Rick is survived by his wife, Linda; and daughter, Mieke, at home; a brother, Lawrence “Larry” (Mary) Miller of Capron; mother and fatherin-law, Robert and Marilyn Larsen Sr. of rural Janesville; sister-in-law, Debbie (Greg) Burk of Menomonee Falls, Wis.; brother-in-law, Robert (Jodie) Larsen Jr. of Appleton; nieces and nephews, Melissa Miller, Amanda Burk, and Adam and Abbey Larsen; aunts, uncles, cousins and other relatives.

LOCAL&REGION City within legal authority to annex properties

Page B8 • Sunday, February 17, 2013

• development Continued from page B1 She said residents haven’t had proper say on how neighboring development would change their way of life. She encouraged residents who have questions to address the City Council. Dave Diamond, Riley Township highway commissioner, has spoken numerous times during public meetings “as a concerned taxpayer,” arguing Marengo has not thoroughly developed its long-term plans, which are dependent on an unapproved interchange. He said the city hasn’t given any thought to how much tax money is needed to extend city services to potential property owners annexed into the city or how to pay the city’s portion of an interchange “They are betting on a whim that economic prosperity will come with this location,” Dia-

mond said. “It’s a long shot, and they are gambling with taxpayers dollars.” But City Administrator Gary Boden has a message for critics of the city’s swift efforts to spur future development: Criticize the law. The city is within its legal authority to annex properties and extend its limit. Riley Township also has no legal standing to do anything about it because individual property owners have the supreme authority to decide to be annexed. Boden also expects potential changes to city services would be inconsequential because the city would extend services to only three additional homeowners. The city also would be tasked with maintaining a quarter-mile stretch of Pleasant Grove Road and about two-tenths of a mile on Blissdale Road, if all 2,500 acres are annexed. He said current

county regulations on the sand and gravel pits would be unchanged. Marengo is confident the tollway authority would endorse half the funding for a $60 million interchange because it announced plans to invest $2.3 billion to expand I-90 from Chicago to Rockford. Officials also have been negotiating with the tollway authority, as well as talking to local partners such as McHenry County – on helping to pay the local share of an interchange, Boden said. The city officially unveiled its broad planning intentions last summer. Boden said the comprehensive plan was first introduced to the council in December, despite Riley Township not being aware of it until late January. “The fact is we have been deliberate and transparent, and it’s been seven months since we first started talking about this publicly,” Boden said.

Cubs’ mediocre starting pitching puts crimp in optimism TAKE 2

Northwest Herald sports editor Jon Styf and Northwest Herald columnist Tom Musick discuss the Cubs’ upcoming season:

Styf: In the movie version of “Moneyball” there’s a moment where the David Justice character turns to Jonah Hill on the team plane and asks why players have to pay $1 for soda in the clubhouse. Hill responds, “Billy likes to keep the money on the field,”

and, when prodded, adds, “sometimes it’s hard to see.” Now that my re-enactment of the movie (I love it) is over, I do have a point. With the Cubs, coming off a 100-loss season, it’s hard to see where the money is going. And it’s hard to see any improvement. We can blindly have faith in Theo Epstein because he’s smart, but guys like Edwin Jackson aren’t making me a believer. Musick: Great scene. I can

Tom Musick and Jon Styf face off assure both you and David Justice that the Cubs offer their players a free collection of sports drinks in the clubhouse. When I covered the team on hot summer afternoons, I used to be tempted

to open the fridge and grab a drink when no one was looking. But that was when Carlos Zambrano’s locker was a few feet away, and I was worried he might come after me with a bat. I’m with you, though.

The Cubs’ 2013 payroll will be somewhere in the neighborhood of $100 million, and what will that buy? Sixty-five wins? Seventy? Plus sports drinks, of course. Styf: It’s no secret that you have to have pitching to win. And the Cubs have none. Matt Garza, Edwin Jackson, Jeff Samardzija, Scott Baker, Scott Feldman. Those guys aren’t going to win games on a regular basis for you. Teams that want

to be successful either have good pitching or compile a lot of young talent and play for the future that way. The Giants did it. The A’s retool it every few seasons, same with the Marlins. The Nationals built that way, and the Orioles have one of the most talented pools of young pitchers around. I don’t see any of that with the Cubs. Is there something I’m missing?

STATE TRIFECTA

Wolves finish 0.325 behind By JOE STEVENSON joestevenson@shawmedia.com PALATINE – Prairie Ridge coach Lee Battaglia sensed his team’s lead over Lyons Township was not large enough after Friday’s first day of the IHSA Girls Gymnastics State Meet. “Point 25, that’s nothing,” Battaglia said. Battaglia hoped Rachael Underwood and Riley Mahoney, who had five entries between them, could raise the Wolves’ score Saturday. Those two performed well, but Lyons, with eight entries, leaped over Prairie Ridge, improving by 0.575 to take the team title with 149.625. The Wolves, who were third last year, were runners-up with 149.3. “They were coming in on the low end with those two 9.2s on [balance] beam,” Battaglia said. “I was scared about that. They were the better team tonight. We were better yesterday, they were better tonight.” Katie Carling’s 9.425 on beam tied the two teams at 149.3. Michelle Cozza’s 9.375 put the Lions at 149.475 heading into floor exercise, the final event. Mahoney, battling a sore back she tweaked early in the week, threw in a different rou-

rode out Sycamore’s Austin Culton to win, 5-4. Kennedy (44-1) avenged his only loss of the season; Laster had defeated him in the Antioch Sectional finals. Saturday’s match was scoreless through two periods. Culton gave up an escape to Sutton and then got a takedown with less than 30 seconds remaining to go up, 2-1.

Laster appeared in control on top as Kennedy was flailing for the escape. Instead, Kennedy turned Laster for the win. “I got scared and just started doing whatever I could,” Kennedy said. “I was scared for myself.” It was also redemption for Kennedy, who placed the previous three seasons and took second last year. “After coming so close these last few years, I just wouldn’t let it go,” Kennedy said. Getting beat by Laster at sectionals also was good motivation to put in the extra work, physically and mentally.

White Sox third baseman Brent Morel stretches during spring training Friday in Phoenix.

WHITE SOX SPRING TRAINING

Morel hopes to leave back pain behind Infielder says he feels good after long battle By MEGHAN MONTEMURRO mmontemurro@shawmedia.com GLENDALE, Ariz. – Brent Morel, considered the White Sox’s third baseman of the future, was poised for a breakout season. Ready to build off a strong finish to 2011, Morel reported to Camelback Ranch eager to prove the expectations were warranted. However, those expectations quickly turned into a year-long battle to overcome a lower back injury that cropped up during the middle of spring training last year. Now, Morel has one of the most unwanted labels in baseball, especially for a third baseman: a ball player with back problems. Last month was the first time he felt normal in nearly a year. There’s still concern Morel could suffer a setback. “There were always question marks because it felt good, but I kind of had to slowly progress into hitting and throwing,” Morel said. “It felt good, but I never knew how it was going to end up. Finally, it got to point last month where I was hitting every day for a long time and there was no pain.” Morel wasn’t prepared for the mental impact of battling a long-term, recurring injury. As Morel described the situation, “it was depressing not being able to be in the clubhouse.” Manager Robin Ventura and former Sox third basemen Joe Crede and Bill Melton, all of whom encountered back problems during their careers, have

been sounding boards for Morel during his ordeal. Some of their feedback included better ways to warm up and cool down, and stretching techniques. Morel, who feels fine, is under no restrictions during spring training. “Prior to all these health issues, we saw a guy who has been a strong defensive player who was able to hit for some power, and at the tail end Brent Morel of his rookie season he was developing a level of plate discipline, too, that made him a pretty good all-around hitter,” Sox general manager Rick Hahn said. “It’s a lot of upside for a guy. Unfortunately, he was derailed last year by injury, and hopefully he can get back to being that player again soon.” Hahn didn’t buy into the idea that Jeff Keppinger, who primarily plays third base, is blocking Morel from making the team. Hahn praised Keppinger’s versatility and reiterated the Sox will take the best 25 players when camp breaks, hinting Morel could be the backup shortstop, too. But Morel hasn’t played shortstop in three years, appearing in 17 games for Triple-A Charlotte. Morel said he feels confident playing any infield position, but he doesn’t plan to get extra work at second base or shortstop unless the Sox approach and ask him.

“You can never be frustrated by a team trying to get better,” Morel said. “[Keppinger’s] a great player, and he’s going to help the team. I’m just going to go out and try to do what I can do make the team and get playing time.” The health of Morel’s back is the most pressing issue. Back injuries are notoriously unpredictable. One day it feels fine, the next day it can be impossible to swing a bat. Morel wants to forget a 2012 season that lasted only 35 games with the Sox, his last coming against the Angels on May 17 in Anaheim. Morel’s future with the Sox is murky because it’s primarily dependent on his health. Ventura, who endured back issues of his own during his playing days, disagreed that Morel has an uphill battle to make the team, let alone have a successful career. But as anyone who has suffered a back injury understands, pain or discomfort is capable of flaring up at any time. “He looks healthy,” Ventura said. “He has a lot more bat speed with him coming through and moving around when he throws. The back can be debilitating, but it’s nice to see him as healthy as he is.” • Meghan Montemurro covers the Cubs and White Sox for Shaw Media. Write to her at mmontemurro@ shawmedia.com.

WHITE SOX NOTES

Stewart thrilled to return By MEGHAN MONTEMURRO mmontemurro@shawmedia.com GLENDALE, Ariz. – When the Pittsburgh Pirates broke the news to pitcher Zach Stewart in January that he would be placed on waivers, the 26year-old right-hander immediately started thinking where he might land. Stewart hoped he would be picked up by an organization that holds its spring training in Arizona so he could commute from his home. But he didn’t expect to get another chance with the White Sox, who claimed him off waivers Jan. 24 after trading him last season. “I was kind of surprised to be picked back up here,” Stewart said. “[Assistant general manager] Buddy Bell ended up calling me and telling me that they picked me back up and I was really excited and happy to hear the news.” Rejoining the Sox has brought Stewart’s year full circle. His journey included a June trade to Boston as part of the Kevin Youkilis deal and another trade, this time during the offseason, that sent him to Pittsburgh. Happy to be back in a familiar environment, Stewart is stretching out his arm in preparation of starting – likely

at Triple-A Charlotte with the potential to be an emergency starter for the Sox. “That’s pretty much how I treat every spring,” Stewart said. “Most organizations I’ve been with have always told me to be ready for anything. It’s easier to prepare as a starter and then back track if you need to as a reliever than try to build your endurance up. It’s a lot harder to do that.” Stewart is a nonroster invitee and will have his work cut out to make the team, especially given his shaky moments last season. He went 1-2 with a 6.00 ERA in 18 games (one start) with the Sox. “Last year was good because I kind of ran the full gauntlet as far as being a long guy, then I got a couple short outings, and then when I got over to Boston I was pretty much a starter the whole time,” Stewart said. “It showed be what I can handle, which is nice.”

Rotation aims for greatness: Sox starters combined for a 4.15 ERA last season, placing them seventh out of 14 AL teams. But pitcher Jake Peavy believes the rotation will be even better in 2013, though the Sox were impressive in holding opponents to a .254 batting average – the third lowest in the AL.

Peavy said a combination of a healthy John Danks and experienced youngsters, such as Jose Quintana and Chris Sale, can take the Sox to another level. “I think if we all try to improve in little ways,” Peavy said. “I think the biggest thing is getting John Danks back. We lost our Opening Day starter last year. A lot of people don’t realize that Johnny pitched Opening Day for us last year in Texas. You take any team’s Opening Day starter away, that’s going to be a daunting hit.” Early arrivals: Sox position players are anxious to get to work. All but three players have reported ahead of today’s mandatory date, with only shortstop Alexei Ramirez, outfielder Alejandro De Aza and infielder Tyler Saladino having yet to arrive. “I don’t really remember this many guys showing up [early], it’s nice,” manager Robin Ventura said. “They’re excited to be here and just get going. [Saturday] is one of those days where we had the hitters hitting off the pitchers for the first time so it’s nice and exciting. [Sunday] will be great just to get everyone in and on a regular schedule.”

PRETORIA, South Africa – Oscar Pistorius is “numb with shock as well as grief” after the shooting death of his model girlfriend at his home in South Africa, the runner’s uncle said Saturday, as his family strongly denied prosecutors’ claims that he murdered her. Arnold Pistorius spoke with The Associated Press and two other South African journalists about his nephew’s arrest in the killing of Reeva Steenkamp, who was shot four times on the morning of Valentine’s Day. Arnold Pistorius spoke to reporters from the garden of his three-story home in the eastern suburbs of South Africa’s capital, Pretoria. The statement, the first on camera and directly made in person by Pistorius’ family, also came out strongly against prosecutors seeking to upgrade the charge against Pistorius to one of premeditated murder, which carries a sentence of life in prison. “After consulting with legal representatives, we deep-

in the killing of 29-year-old Steenkamp shocked South Africa, where Pistorius was a national hero and icon dubbed the Blade Runner for his high-tech carbon fiber running blades and revered for overcoming his disability to compete at the London Olympics. She was discovered in a pool of blood before dawn Thursday by police called to Pistorius’ upscale home in a gated community. Authorities said she had been shot four times, and a 9 mm pistol was recovered at the home. Pistorius remains held at a police station pending a bail hearing Tuesday. Police have already said they’ll oppose Pistorius being released before trial. A premeditated murder charge also makes it more difficult for his defense team to get bail. On Saturday afternoon, Pistorius’ lawyers visited the Brooklyn police station in Pretoria, where the athlete is being held. His younger sister Aimee, who stood alongside Arnold Pistorius when he made his statement, also was at the police station later.

Few top Cubs prospects are pitchers surgery. Theo’s turnaround plan is far from a finished project. Styf: Which makes me sick of the Cubs already. I’m predicting a lot of long, high-scoring games this year. It’s just a matter of whether the Cubs will score a lot of runs, too. If they do, it will at least be interesting. But I’m clearly not as optimistic as most heading into spring training, where optimism is alive in every clubhouse.

Surprise pin by PR’s Piotrowski

C-G’s Hamann returns to state in fly, not back

By ROB SMITH rsmith@shawmedia.com CHAMPAIGN – With no one having scored a point heading into the second tiebreaker period, there was little reason to expect the 106-pound Class 2A third-place match between Prairie Ridge’s Travis Piotrowski and Marmion’s Anthony Bosco would end in a pin. Even Piotrowski (42-3) was surprised when he caught Bosco in a cradle and stuck the pin at 7:49 to take third place Saturday at the state meet. Piotrowski was thinking the match Travis would head into Piotrowski an ultimate tiebreaker. “I just tried riding him that whole time,” Piotrowski said. When he got Bosco on his back, Piotrowski’s natural instincts kicked in. “I locked it up real tight and squeezed as hard as I could,” Piotrowski said. Piotrowski, a freshman, said the intensity and being in a place match had an impact on him. “I was so nervous,” Piotrowski said. “Once I got him on his back in overtime, it was a relief.” Crystal Lake Central’s Andrew Marsden said he had mixed feelings about his thirdplace finish at 170 in 2A. He was happy with his ability to bounce back after losing in the semifinals, but he was not yet over the overtime loss to East Moliine United’s Markus Murphy. “It’s a win-loss,” Marsden said. “I won because I came in third and wrestled back from a bad overtime loss.” In his third-place match, Marsden defeated Peoria’s Martez Cox, 6-2. It was a rematch of his first-round match, in which Marsden pinned Cox in the third period. Marian Central sophomore Nick Remke defeated Tinley Park’s Eric Schultz, 3-2, in his 138-pound 2A fifth-place match. After Schultz tied the score with a reverse in the third period, Remke made an escape to earn the win. “My goal was to win and get the medal,” Remke said. “I’m very happy. It feels really good.” Hurricanes coach Buck Riedinger said Remke has the right temperament to be successful in close matches. “[Remke’s] the most evenkeeled kid I’ve ever seen,” Riedinger said. “Nothing bothers him. He doesn’t panic.” Crystal Lake South’s Nick Gil lost his 3A 126-pound thirdplace match, 7-1, to Oak ParkRiver Forest’s Isaiah White. “I’m ecstatic for how [Gil’s] season finished up,” Gators coach Ross Ryan said. “Other than being at the top, I can’t see a better way of going out.” After missing the first half of the season to a shoulder injury and a fourth-place finish at the Barrington Sectional, the expectations for Dundee-Crown’s Ray Griggel weren’t that high heading into the state tournament. Griggel came back from a first-round loss to wrestle back to the 3A 220-pound third-place match. With the match tied, 3-3, heading into overtime, Glenbrook South’s Jacob Suter stuck Griggel for a pin in 6:55. Still stinging from getting caught for a pin, Griggel said he would have a tough time appreciating his accomplishments and would probably remember the third-place loss more than anything else. “It’s not exactly how I wanted it to end,” Griggel said. Also in 2A place matches, Richmond-Burton’s Grant Sutton won his fifth-place match at 120 with a 1-0 decision against Lincoln-Way West’s Noah Keele, and Crystal Lake Central’s Mike Zelasco defeated Mount Vernon’s Alex Vosburgh by technical fall at 160. In 3A, Cary-Grove’s Michael Cullen lost his fifth-place match at 113 to Providence Catholic’s Ronald Triche, 1-0. Triche also sent Cullen to the back draw with a win in the quarterfinals.

Lyons pretty much stole that one Saturday night at the IHSA Girls Gymnastics State Meet. Prairie Ridge had been better almost the entire season, but Lyons was remarkably clutch in the finals to grab first. Although Prairie Ridge was not too disappointed, it stung a little after taking a lead of 0.25 into the finals. “I believe we have some unfinished business to do,” sophomore Riley Mahoney said. “We hope to be back here, we’re super-excited. Obviously, we were more excited about the first-place trophy, but runner-up, you can’t ask for more than that after being third [last year].” The Wolves, a co-op team that takes athletes from Cary-Grove, Crystal Lake Central, Crystal Lake South and Prairie Ridge, should be excited about the future. Mahoney and Rachael Underwood, who tied for second in the all-around Friday and won two more topthree medals Saturday, are sophomores. So is Jada Berkland, who showed what she could do this season after a freshman year limited by injuries. They also have junior Dylann Perrone, junior Sarah Kramer and freshman Maddie Solka returning. “The future looks real bright,” said Lee Battaglia, Prairie Ridge’s coach and the owner of Crystal Lake Gymnastics Training Center, where the girls all train. “Lyons’ future looks bright, too. Everything is a

PREP ZONE Joe Stevenson learning experience for us. We’ll go now and compete in club and learn from that.” Mahoney may need some time off to rest her achy back. She got through the weekend and performed well with help from Advil, Icy Hot and the adrenaline once she was competing. “It’s very exciting to know we keep going up each year,” said Underwood, who was part of last year’s third-place team. “We’re going to practice and perfect our routines and come out strong again next year.” The Wolves will have two standouts at the top of the lineup again with Underwood and Mahoney, and again will have depth with the others. That little extra hunger after coming up just short might not hurt either next year. “We’re definitely excited about the next two years,” Berkland said. “We kind of have a pact, us four, and we’re excited. This season we all tried our hardest and did our best. I don’t know what happened, but Lee’s proud of us and we’re proud of each other.” • Joe Stevenson is a senior sports writer for the Northwest Herald.

Underwood ties for 2nd on bars • GYMNASTICS Continued from page C1 Underwood tied for second in the all-around Friday, then tied for second on uneven bars and tied for third on vault Saturday. “We wanted to win it as a team, but we held it together and did the best we could, and I’m really happy about how

we did,” Underwood said. “They snuck up on us, but we had a great overall past two days.” Lyons coach Kari Karubas said she had trouble sleeping Friday as she searched for changes the Lions could make to find extra points. Lyons added points in four of its eight performances Saturday. “We needed to capitalize

on every opportunity to balance that nerves of finals,” Karubas said. “I woke up this morning and I knew we could do it. Or at least we had to go down swinging. These are some of the most talented girls I’ve ever had and I feel really lucky as the coach. I’m so pleased. … I’m still a little awestruck about what went down here.”

McHenry’s Lardy finishes 2nd at 145 • WRESTLING Continued from page C1 “It’s so easy to give up,” Kennedy said. “I’ve never worked harder in the practice room. I wasn’t going to lose again.” Sutton had come close to taking down Culton throughout the match but either couldn’t quite finish or ran out of room on the edge of the mat. With the match winding down, Sutton finally connected, grabbed Culton’s ankle and flipped him down. “I saw an opportunity open up and I took my shot,” Sutton said. “That’s when it really hit me (that) I have a chance to win this match.” Sutton (38-0) said the tough match was what he expected from Culton (43-1).The third-

period heroics were set up by a season of hard work and conditioning. Harvard’s Luis was in control from the start in his 11-3 Class 1A 106-pound win against Coal City’s Cody Minnick. Luis got a takedown 20 seconds into the match. Surrounded by teammates and Harvard fans after the match, Luis shared credit for the win. “I feel like it’s the team’s victory,” Luis said. “The team helps me with everything I do.” Facing tough competition was an important part of getting Luis ready to compete at state. He took seventh at the Mid-States Classic in Whitewater, Wis., this season. “You have to wrestle the kids who are the best,” Luis said.

Hornets coach Tim Haak said the win is impressive, given the quality of talent Luis faced, especially Minnick, who was 47-0 heading into the championship match. “It’s an awful good kid [Luis] beat there,” Haak said. “There’s been a lot of good [106]-pounders this year. In Class 3A, McHenry’s Wade Lardy lost to Mount Carmel’s Bryce Brill in a 17-6 major decision. Warriors coach Will Gaddy said losing to Brill was nothing to be ashamed of, and Lardy should be proud of his accomplishments during his four years on varsity. “There’s a reason [Brill’s] ranked so high in the nation,” Lardy said. “You cannot feel bad about what [Lardy’s] accomplished. He’s had a great four years.”

BARRINGTON – Michael Hamann spent a lot of time over the past week seeking advice from coaches and scanning the times of other swimmers in the state to decide what event he should swim at Saturday’s Barrington Sectional. It ultimately came down to a gut decision, as the Cary-Grove co-op senior tossed aside his usual 100-yard backstroke in favor of the 100 butterfly. “I just sat down and took a look at the state rankings and said, ‘OK, I’m 95 percent sure these kids can beat me and these are 50/50,’ ” Hamann said. “The fly had about one or two less kids that could beat me, but I just felt more confident in my fly than by backstroke for some reason.” Hamann made a name for himself in the backstroke, having swum the event at state multiple times, but the decision to swim the butterfly paid off. The now four-time state qualifier finished second in the 100 butterfly in 51.14 seconds, more than a second faster than the qualifying time and just shy of his personal goal of an AllAmerica time. He also won the 200 individual medley in statequalifying fashion and was a key member of two relay teams that will be headed to Winnetka for the state meet Friday and Saturday at New Trier. Hamann was the only individual to qualify for state for the Trojans. “I’m a little disappointed for a few kids that came really close,” Trojans coach Rick Schaefer said. “We’re in the same situation as last year with one guy qualifying in two individuals and two relays, but it’s nice to make the relays two years in a row, and the [200 medley relay] has three new kids on it, so that’s good for them.” The Trojans were the only area team that qualified a relay, but the Woodstock co-op team of Morgan Hofmann, Trevor Nomm, Henry Gantner and Adam Steinken missed the state-cut in the 400 freestyle relay by 0.06. “It’s tough,” Blue Streaks coach Ian Shanahan said. “I just wish it wasn’t that close.” The Blue Streaks did have some impressive individual swims as Gantner qualified for state in the 50 freestyle by the slimmest of margins – 0.01 – while Steinken qualified in the 100 freestyle, an event he has swum a handful of times. “I’m happy,” Steinken said.

State qualifiers Local swimmers advancing to the state meet by school: Cary-Grove co-op 200 medley relay – Michael Hamann, Adam Eibel, Tyler King and Andrew Brierton. 400 freestyle relay – Tyler King, Andrew Brierton, Adam Eibel and Michael Hamann. Michael Hamann – 200 individual medley and 100 butterfly Woodstock co-op Henry Gantner – 50 freestyle Adam Steinken – 100 freestyle Jacobs co-op Josh DeDina – 200 individual medley and 100 breaststroke Alex Reinbrecht – 200 freestyle and 500 freestyle “I’ve been working a ton for it, but when I got the time it was weird. I felt relieved more than excited. I’m bummed I didn’t [qualify] in the breaststroke because I’ve been working on that for four years, but I got to state, so that’s pretty cool. It was my goal and it’s funny that it comes in the 100 freestyle, which I’ve only swam by itself five times.” Jacobs co-op also had a great day. The Golden Eagles had two individuals qualify in two events apiece. Josh DeDina qualified in the 200 IM and the 100 breastroke. It was a big moment for him as he mentioned last week that he has tendinitis in both shoulders and it had been bothering him for a while. The Golden Eagles’ Alex Reinbrecht was the talk of the meet after his 500 freestyle swim. The junior bettered the state time standard by more than 10 seconds as he posted a 4:37.47. He also qualified in the 200 freestyle. “It was really good,” Reinbrecht said of his 500 swim. “It just felt really fast. I was telling DeDina today that I wanted to go under 4:40 because that’s what I did last year at sectionals, and I got it. I’m not at all tapered or shaved, and I’m really excited to go to state next week and drop a lot more time. A top10 finish would be nice. “When I got back to our team section I was talking to my mom and I was crying I was so happy. It’s just amazing.” The host Broncos won the meet by 60 points, while the Trojans placed fourth with 158. Jacobs co-op (98) was sixth, Woodstock co-op (91) finished seventh and McHenry (42) was 11th.

NHL ROUNDUP

Maple Leafs shutout wounded Senators The ASSOCIATED PRESS TORONTO – Ben Scrivens stopped 34 shots for his first career shutout and the Toronto Maple Leafs defeated the injury-ravaged Ottawa Senators, 3-0, on Saturday. Scrivens was making his second straight start since incumbent James Reimer injured a knee in Monday’s 5-2 win over Philadelphia. The 26-year-old Scrivens has been solid as Reimer’s replacement, stopping 96 of the 100 shots he has faced. Frazer McLaren, Tyler Bozak and John-Michael Liles scored for Toronto, which earned its fifth win in six games overall.

The Blackhawks’ Patrick Kane celebrates his game-tying goal Feb. 1 against the Vancouver Canucks in Vancouver, B.C. Kane is one of the biggest reasons the Hawks have gotten off to such a fast start this season.

BLACKHAWKS

Leading the charge By JAY COHEN The Associated Press CHICAGO – It started on opening night, when Patrick Kane and the Blackhawks ruined the Los Angeles Kings’ celebration of their first Stanley Cup title. Then Kane carved up the Phoenix Coyotes for two assists in the second game, and ripped through a sixgame road trip for seven goals and three assists. Therehave Next been loads of highlights Los Angeles during Kane’s at Hawks, 2:30 strong start to p.m. today, NBC, the season, but Hawks coach AM-720 Joel Quenneville likes what they mean altogether. “We like the consistency in his game,” he said. “That line’s been effective, but Kane’s really got some nice jump to his game.” The No. 1 overall pick in the

Kane is off to strong start for Blackhawks 2007 draft has raised his play to a new level, adding improved defense and focus to his extensive offensive repertoire. He is tied for second in the NHL with 21 points, while the Hawks remain the league’s only team without a regulation loss heading into today’s nationally televised visit by the Kings. Kane himself cautions it’s too early to draw any conclusions about his fast start, but he’s pleased with the first quarter of the lockout-abbreviated season – for himself, and his streaking team. “Success comes, and you want to just keep improving and keep getting better,” he said. “Just trying to keep becoming the best player I can. Sometimes you get breaks where the pucks are finding you, the pucks are going in, and

sometimes you don’t. You’ve got to take advantage when it is working.” It’s definitely working right now. Kane has recorded at least one point in 13 of the Hawks’ 14 games, including a season-high three in the opening period of a dominant 6-2 victory Feb. 7 at Phoenix. The line of Kane, left wing Patrick Sharp and center Dave Bolland has 16 of the Hawks’ 47 goals, which put them in a tie for second in the league in scoring heading into Saturday’s games. He still has that flashy ability that can draw stunned gasps from a crowd, like when he turned San Jose defenseman Brent Burns in a circle before shooting wide left on one rush during Friday night’s 4-1 victory. But the 24-year-old Kane

Lightning 6, Panthers 5 (OT): At Sunrise, Fla., Benoit Pouliot scored two goals, including the winner in overtime, and Tampa Bay ended a six-game losing streak. Steven Stamkos also scored twice, and Teddy Purcell and Alexander Killorn once each for the Lightning. Anders Lindback made 25 saves. Islanders 5, Devils 1: At Uniondale, N.Y., John Tavares scored three goals and assisted on another to lead New York over New Jersey.

also drove hard to the goalmouth to help set up Bolland for the first goal of the game, and sped back to help stymie one rush by the Sharks. “He’s playing well. He’s effective,” captain Jonathan Toews said. “Him and Sharpie and Bolly are going out there. They’re doing well. They’re working hard on the power play, and as long as they work for their chances they’re going to get their chances and a lot of them are going to go in with the skill they have on that line.” It’s quite a change from the end of last season, when Internet photos of Kane partying in Madison, Wis., led to renewed questions about his maturity. He also was arrested in his hometown of Buffalo, N.Y., in 2009 after an altercation with a cab driver. General manager Stan Bowman said in May the team had talked to Kane about the pictures, and they handled the situation internally. And everyone certainly seems to be getting along just fine right now.

Matt Moulson had a goal and three assists, Michael Grabner scored with 35 seconds left, and Evgeni Nabokov made 30 saves for the Islanders, who beat the Rangers, 4-3, in a shootout Thursday. Canadiens 4, Flyers 1: At Montreal, Rookie Brendan Gallagher had a goal and assist before leaving the game with an injury, and Montreal downed Philadelphia for its third win in a row. David Desharnais, Tomas Plekanec and Rene Bourque also scored for the Canadiens. Coyotes 5, Blue Jackets 3: At Glendale, Ariz., Martin Hanzal had two goals and an assist, and Phoenix won for the third time in four games. Hanzal scored the final two goals of the game, the first a rare Phoenix power-play score to break a 3-3 tie with 11:42 to play. Ducks 3, Predators 2 (SO): At Nashville, Tenn., Nick Bonino and Corey Perry scored in the shootout to give Anaheim a win over Nashville. The victory was Anaheim’s fourth straight and eighth in its past nine games. Nashville’s loss halted a threegame winning streak.

STATE OF THE NBA

Kings dominate briefing Stern holds his final All-Star news conference group led by Chris Hansen and Steve Ballmer has reached an agreement with the Maloof family to buy 65 percent of the franchise, which is valued at $525 million, and move the team to Seattle and restore the SuperSonics name. The deal will cost the Hansen group a little more than $340 million. Johnson has asked for and been granted a chance to deliver a competing offer, which is expected by March 1, and to address the board. And he insists his city has a “competitive advantage” because the NBA previously approved Sacramento’s financing plans for a new arena last year when it thought it had brokered a deal between the Maloofs and the city that the owners later pulled out of. “We’re going to deliver a brand new arena downtown. At the end of the day, that’s a key variable and I think it gives us a competitive advantage,” Johnson said in a separatenews conference. “We have a deal that was approved by the NBA already, where the city has a significant public investment that we’re willing to put forward, to build a brand new arena. That’s a key reason why unfortunately a team left Seattle and why teams do leave, is you can’t get arena deals done.”

By BRIAN MAHONEY The Associated Press HOUSTON – No new details on Sacramento against Seattle, though the next All-Star decision might be New York versus New York. NBA commissioner David Stern fielded numerous questions Saturday but provided little news about the future of the Sacramento Kings during his last All-Star weekend news conference. A Seattle group has reached an agreement to buy the team from the Maloof family with the goal of moving it to the Northwest, and Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson is trying to keep the Kings in California’s capital. Stern said owners will continue to discuss the plans and will hear from Mayor Kevin Johnson with the goal of deciding at their April board meeting. Without saying how, Stern said Sacramento has a chance of beating out what he has said is a strong bid from the Seattle group. “Oh, certainly it’s plausible to me, but I don’t have a vote,” Stern said. “But I expect the owners to have a very open mind on this. And it isn’t plausible yet to talk about it until the predicates have been fulfilled.” Stern plans to retire Feb. 1, 2014,

NBA ALL-STAR SATURDAY NIGHT

Ross captures dunk fest By CHRIS DUNCAN The Associated Press HOUSTON – Toronto rookie Terrence Ross beat defending champion Jeremy Evans to win the slam-dunk contest during All-Star Saturday Night. The 6-foot-6 Ross jumped over a ball boy, whipped the ball between his legs and threw down a one-handed slam to clinch the victory. Earlier, Ross donned a Vince Carter jersey, took a lob from high-school teammate Terrence Jones off the edge of the backboard, spun in the air, and then slammed home another one-hander. Evans jumped over a painted portrait of himself and hurdled Dallas Mavericks forward Dahntay Jones for a dunk in his final round. Ross earned 58 percent of the fan vote in the championship round. The first round was judged by former Houston Rockets Hakeem Olajuwon, Clyde Drexler, Dikembe Mutombo, Rudy Tomjanovich and Yao Ming. Kenneth Faried, James White, 2007 dunk champion Gerald Green and Eric Bledsoe also were in the field, while Kevin Durant, Kobe Bryant, Chris Paul and Dwyane Wade were among the All-Stars taking in the show. Green started if off by taking a lob from Indiana teammate Lance Stephenson off the side of the backboard and soaring in for a reverse slam. White

played off his “Flight White” nickname when he split two columns of cheerleaders dressed as flight attendants for a powerful two-handed dunk. Hardly outdone, Ross earned a perfect score on his first dunk, whipping the ball around his waist before smacking down a one-hander. Evans, meanwhile, used former Jazz giant Mark Eaton as a prop on his dazzling first attempt. The 7-foot-4 Eaton held the ball above his head as he sat on a box and Evans swiped the ball and soared over his head.

OTHER EVENTS Earlier, Cleveland guard Kyrie Irving beat San Antonio’s Matt Bonner to win the 3-point contest. Irving, who will play in his first All-Star game today, hit his first seven attempts and 20 of 25 overall in the final round to finish with 23 points, two shy of the record held by Craig Hodges and Jason Kapono. Bonner had 20 points in the final round. Portland rookie Damian Lillard beat Philadelphia’s Jrue Holiday to win the Skills Competition.

Maryland trips No. 2 Duke The ASSOCIATED PRESS COLLEGE PARK, Md. – Seth Allen broke a tie by making two free throws with 2.8 seconds left, and Maryland stunned No. 2 Duke, 83-81, Saturday night to end a six-game skid against its bitter rival. As the final horn sounded, thousands of fans from the sellout crowd charged onto the court to celebrate the Terrapins’ biggest victory of the season. The Terrapins (18-7, 6-6 Atlantic Coast Conference) did not trail after halftime but never could pull away from the weary Blue Devils. Duke (22-3, 9-3) trailed by 10 with 3:39 left but pulled even when Rasheed Sulaimon made three foul shots with 16.7 seconds to go. Quinn Cook then fouled Allen as the freshman guard drove through the lane, and Allen made both shots. Duke had its six-game winning streak end. Seth Curry scored 25 and Cook added 18. No. 1 Indiana 83, Purdue 55: At Bloomington, Ind., Will Sheehey scored a career-high 22 points and Cody Zeller had 19 as No. 1 Indiana (23-3 overall, 11-2 Big Ten) rolled over Purdue (12-14, 5-8), routing the Boilermakers for the second time in 2½ weeks.

Bradley 80, Indiana St. 68: At Peoria, Tyshon Pickett and Walt Lemon Jr. scored 17 points apiece and Bradley dominated the second half in a victory over Indiana State. Dyricus Simms-Edwards added 13 points off the bench, and Will Egolf had 12, for the Braves (15-12, 7-8 Missouri Valley).

DAYTONA 500

BOXING

Patrick fastest in practice

Holyfield and Tyson reunite at Chicago store By ANDREW SELIGMAN The Associated Press

By JENNA FRYER The Associated Press DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – If two practices are any indication, Danica Patrick is a solid candidate to win the pole for the Daytona 500. Patrick turned the fastest lap Saturday in a pair of practice sessions focused solely on qualifying for the Daytona 500. She went 196.220 mph around Daytona International Speedway in the second practice session and said she’s eyeing the Danica top starting spot in Patrick “The Great American Race.” “Everything that we do is to make sure that we do whatever we can to be on the pole,” Patrick said. The front row for the Feb. 24 season-opening Daytona 500 will be set in today’s time trials. The rest of the field is set Thursday after a pair of qualifying races. Patrick said it would be an accomplishment for her StewartHaas Racing team to lock into the field today. “I think it would be really nice for all of us to know we were in the race,” she said. “It’s nice to know as a team, but it’s also nice to know for your [sponsors] like GoDaddy and all the other people that are involved in the car.” Patrick was nearly a second faster than the other drivers Saturday. Second fastest in the afternoon session was three-time champion Tony Stewart, her teammate and car co-owner, who turned a lap of 195.363 mph in his Chevrolet. Kyle Busch was third in a Toyota, and he was followed by Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Jamie McMurray.

Martin Truex (56) was able to clear the wreck and continue in the race.

SPRINT UNLIMITED

Harvick opens with victory By JENNA FRYER The Associated Press DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – Kevin Harvick won the first race of Speedweeks, dominating the final two segments of the exhibition Sprint Unlimited in the debut of NASCAR’s new Gen-6 car. “I’m glad we got Speedweeks started off the right way,” said Harvick, who won Saturday night’s non-points race at Daytona International Speedway for the third time in five years. But with only 19 cars in the field at the start of the race – and that was whittled down to 12 after an early accident – there wasn’t a great feel for what the Feb. 24 season-opening Daytona 500 will look like with a full 43-car field. “We’ll have to wait a week and see what the weather is like,” Harvick said. “There’s still a lot to learn with a full pack of cars.” There wasn’t a chance for that in the 75-lap exhibition race, which was split into three segments. Fans got to vote on the format and decided on 30 laps, 25 laps then a 20-lap sprint to the finish. But several big names were

Kevin Harvick celebrates in Victory Lane after winning the NASCAR Sprint Unlimited on Saturday in Daytona Beach, Fla. knocked out a mere 15 laps into the race. Tony Stewart was running second when he cut across the front of Marcos Ambrose, making slight contact that turned Stewart sideways and required a save to keep from crashing. Traffic stacked up behind him, triggering a chain-reaction, nine-car crash that wiped out seven cars. Taken out just 15 laps into the first segment were defending race winner Kyle Busch and Denny Hamlin from Joe Gibbs Racing, Jeff Gordon and Jimmie Johnson from Hendrick Motorsports, Mark

Martin and Kurt Busch. “I didn’t see much. I was just cruising along and I saw sparks in front of me – I knew that wasn’t good,” Johnson said. It was a costly crash for Kurt Busch, who also wrecked in practice Friday and has two damaged race cars just two days into Speedweeks. His Furniture Row Racing team was getting assistance from Richard Childress Racing on car repairs to ensure Busch has enough in the fleet to get to the Daytona 500. Stewart, who took responsibility for triggering the crash, went on to “win” the first segment. Fans then voted for the drivers to make a four-tire change during a pit stop between the first and second segment, and it was largely Harvick’s race from there. He dominated the final two segments, and held off challenges from Stewart and Greg Biffle on the final lap to win in his Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet. It’s a strong opener to what’s going to be Harvick’s final year with RCR. He’s already signed on to drive for Stewart-Haas Racing in 2014.

CHICAGO – Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield stood toe to toe again, only this time there were hugs and smiles – and no bites to the ear. The ill will that marked the former champions’ rivalry was nowhere in sight. Instead, they were like old friends meeting in a supermarket, which is exactly what they did Saturday. They were at a Jewel-Osco on Chicago’s South Side, where Holyfield was signing autographs and promoting his barbecue sauce. Tyson, in town performing his one-man show, made a cameo. “I just wanted to see Evander, man,” Tyson said. “I love Evander. I’m forever linked with him for the rest of my life.” Hard to believe those words came from the man who bit off a piece of Holyfield’s ear during a fight, but the former “Baddest Man On The Planet” is showing a different side. He’s baring his soul on stage, documenting his rise from Brooklyn’s streets to the heavyweight championship and subsequent fall from grace. He wrapped Holyfield in a big hug and was all smiles as they chatted and posed for pictures, the fans going wild the whole time. What did Holyfield think of the parts that involved him? “I think he was letting people know that he was wrong and what happened, happened,” aid Holyfield, who saw it in Las Vegas.

U.S. teen Shiffrin wins slalom title The Associated Press

Shiffrin’s parents Jeff and Eileen embraced each other at the stands. “I keep saying it, I keep thinking it. It doesn’t make sense. It’s just me,” Shiffrin said when asked how it felt to be world champion.

SCHLADMING, Austria – American teenager Mikaela Shiffrin became the youngest women’s slalom world champion in 39 years Saturday. At the age of 17 years, 340 days, Shiffrin beat all of her more experienced rivals to earn the U.S. team its fourth gold and fifth medal overall at the worlds, more than any other nation. “It’s such a crazy day,” Shiffrin said. “It’s so emotional. ... I don’t know yet, I can’t feel yet. It’s amazing.” Shiffrin was third after the opening run but finished in a combined time of 1 minute, 39.85 seconds to beat Michaela Kirchgasser of Austria by 0.22 and Frida Hansdotter of Sweden by 0.26. After the race in front of a

In the first run, Shiffrin said she didn’t feel quite right. “I just tried to find my legs. They popped up out of nowhere,” she said. “I was in the starting gate and I was like, ‘Oh, there they are, I can go now!’ ” After finishing first, Shiffrin thought, “I hope it holds. I was thinking so many things and I just can’t even remember it. It’s one of those things where everything is a blur and that’s how you know it was good.” Shiffrin said she was inspired by teammate Ted Ligety, who won the men’s super-G, super-combined and GS titles. “Oh yeah! For sure,” she said. “I think everyone was. That was amazing.” Julia Mancuso won the United States’ first medal by taking bronze in the eventopening super-G.

Businesses need to get more political Doug Whitley, president and CEO of the Illinois Chamber of Commerce, had a message for McHenry County businesses last week: Get political. He reminded those attending the Algonquin/Lake in the Hills Chamber of Commerce Business Over Breakfast meeting that elected officials need to hear from them. “One of our biggest objectives is to get elected officials to walk in the shoes of a business owner, an employer, a manager, the people who sponsor the little league teams, the people who support the schools, the people who support families through their payroll,” Whitley said. He said elected officials aren’t hearing from or interacting with business owners and business managers. “That’s not their normal constituency.” Whitley said the “normal” constituency for elected officials is not the voters. It’s the people they hear from. “The first people they hear from is other government officials,” Whitley said. “So the biggest clog in Springfield is government lobbying government. “The second group they hear from usually is public employees, who are unionized and organized. They know that every decision that’s made affects their bottom line – their payroll, their benefits, their pensions, their work environment. Public employees are actively engaged. “The third biggest group that legislators hear from are people who are dependent upon government money, such as health-care providers and vendors,” Whitley said. “The last people they hear from are folks who do not have real engagement in government and yet are acted upon by government to your bottom line – something like minimum wage. They can change the cost of your doing business overnight by passing that legislation. “That’s why we want you to be engaged.” Whitley said when a bill is on the floor of the General Assembly, “legislators need to be able to stand up and say ‘the business owners in my community have spoken to me about this issue. Here’s what it means to them.’ “If they don’t hear your voice ... they cannot adequately represent not only you, but all the other business owners and managers throughout the state of Illinois,” Whitley said. “You need to be engaged,” Whitley added. “You need to spend some time with (elected officials). You need to be willing to ask them to come and see your operation, understand what your business is all about,” he said. I have a hunch that a state representative or state senator would welcome an invitation to visit your business, to meet with workers, to listen to your concerns. Taking the first step is up to you.

Clinical pharmacist Mary Eilers prepares a compound at St. John’s Hospital in Springfield. Experts looking at Illinois’ job market say the best prospects for 2013 are likely in medical and manufacturing firms.

State of jobs Best Illinois prospects in manufacturing, medical By DAVID MERCER The Associated Press Illinois’ widening medical industry and its old standby, manufacturing, may be the best places to look for a job this year, although some of the positions will require increasing levels of education and training and many won’t pay what they might have just a few years ago, experts said. Overall, 17 percent of Illinois employers plan to add staff during the first quarter of this year, up 3 percent from a year earlier, according to a survey from the staffing firm Manpower Group. About 71 percent plan to keep staffing levels the same. “Job creation has been relatively strong in the last two years,” said John Challenger, CEO of the Chicago-based outplacement firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas Inc. Even so, Illinois is like the rest of the nation: still staggering back from the recession 2007-09. Statewide unemployment hasn’t dropped below 8 percent since 2008. The jobless rate in Illinois fell from 9.3 percent in December 2011 to 8.7 percent in December 2012, the most recent month for which data is available from the Illinois Department of Employment Security. But the state’s jobless rate in November

Caterpillar tractors are seen for sale in Clinton. 2007, the month before the recession started, was 5 percent. The hole the country’s been trying to climb out of was so deep that, “bringing it back to normal has been a slow, year-by-year digging-out process,” Challenger said. Experts say Illinois’ biggest job-creator in 2013 could be the federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, which is expected to ratchet up the demand for a wide range of jobs. Hospitals may need to add staff in positions that require everything from a four-year degree plus experience to entry-level jobs that require little education. St. John’s Hospital in Springfield has been hiring nurse navigators – experienced registered nurses who help patients literally navigate their way through treatment,

answering questions before and after, said Pat Schulz, head of the hospital’s human resources department. The pay is $22 to $30 an hour. The hospital hires about 140 RNs a year for a variety of positions around the hospital, many of the straight out of school, she said. But the new ones don’t head straight to the hospital floor on their own, instead spending three to four months in additional training as nurse residents. But the hospital, like others, anticipates hiring lower-wage, lower skill positions, too. “If our beds are full, then we need more housekeepers, we need more food service,” Schulz said. Manufacturing job growth also should continue this year, job-market watchers say. Even with decades of Rust Belt exodus, compa-

nies that make things in Illinois – auto parts, heavy machinery, medical devices, hardware and more – have been a relatively steady job provider in an uneven recovery. Over the past year, Illinois’ manufacturing job base grew 2.4 percent, from 579,900 jobs in December 2011 to 594,100 last month. One in every 9.7 non-farming jobs in Illinois is in manufacturing. “Manufacturing in Illinois is going to always be relatively strong,” said Tom Gimbel, CEO of the Chicago-based staffing firm LaSalle Network. “You’ve got Caterpillar and Deere. ... That’s Midwestern products and Midwestern values. It mirrors the types of people that are out there. You’ve got people that want to have a (steady) job for 30 years.” One key area that helped create new manufacturing jobs last year was auto parts, whose makers enjoyed a healthy 2012 with the resurgence of auto sales due to factors such as the improvements in the economy to pent-up demand – many would-be buyers held off through the recession. Chrysler, for instance, increased production at its plant in Belvidere and said it needed 1,800 new workers to do so.

WOODSTOCK – The monthly Dynamic Living Series at the Northwest Healthcare Center, 800 E. South St., Woodstock, will focus on carpal tunnel syndrome at 7 p.m. Feb. 20. Dr. James Kearns, Dr. Luke Smith and reflexologist Emilee Bozic will discuss the common disorder affecting many people, particularly those with desk jobs or who perform repeated tasks with their hands. CTS is caused by a pinched median nerve in the wrist, through the carpal tunnel to your hand. Many people “shake out” their hands to try to relieve their symptoms. Sufferers also may begin dropping things. As the disorder progresses, the numb feeling may become constant. Left untreated, permanent nerve and muscle damage can occur. The Northwest Healthcare team of experts will provide proactive information about treatment options that do not involve either surgery or the use of steroids. The program is free and open to the public. Preregister by calling 815-337-7109, or emailing info@nwhealthcarecenter.com. For more information, visit www. nwhealthcarecenter.com.

A commitment to keep quality health care local Thirty-two years ago Steve Rochell, MD, made the calculated risk to start Crystal Lake Orthopedics. It was an easy decision for Dr. Rochell because of his love of medicine and his passion for taking care of patients. He has been successful in doing so by growing a one-man practice into a robust, five-physician, community-based group. Through all of the government regulations, health insurance maneuvers, and the growth in orthopedic competition, he has not once lost sight of what’s right for his patients and the community. Just like the major move he took 32 years ago, Dr. Rochell and his partners at Crystal Lake Orthopedics have decided to make another major business decision. This time the decision is to merge with a regional multi-specialty

group practice and use the new larger group as a platform to ultimately enhance the level of care available to the families in our region. By merging with Rockford Orthopedic Associates, a specialty health-care organization located in nearby Rockford, we will have more resources available to further our original mission of doing what’s right for our patients and community. The merger is a simple strategy – an adaptation to the changing health-care industry and a commitment to keep quality care local. Because of changes related to the insurance industry and Obamacare, Crystal Lake Orthopedics and Rockford Orthopedic Associates have formed an alliance to maintain and enhance the delivery of orthopedic care to

The physicians of our groups know what Dr. Rochell has known for so long: that regardless of bureaucracy, regardless of government intervention, regardless of economic changes, physicians have the simple relentless duty to make people better. Our merger is a launching point to further that mission. By combining our organizations, we will offer expanded services and will ultimately widen the availability and delivery of care. Our patients will benefit from the expansion of highly-

Credit card use requires intervention Dear Dave, My mother-in-law has a serious credit card problem. She can’t afford stuff, but she shops anyway, acquires more and more credit and thinks she’ll pay for it all later somehow. Her husband has bailed her out a few times, but he’s unwilling to do it anymore. My wife and I, and her sister, want to address this issue, but where do we start?

– Jonathan

Dear Jonathan, First of all, you need to stay out of the discussion. This is something for her daughters to handle, and her husband needs to be part of it, too. He’s closer to this and feels the effects more than anyone else in the family. They need to sit down with her in a closed setting, where there are no interruptions, no television and no one else. Start with the fact that they love her and care about her deeply. This part is really important. But they also have to walk through what’s going on, and let her know they’re tired of watching her destroy herself and her marriage with this immature and irresponsible behavior. Everyone involved should understand going in that they’re likely to receive a volatile, angry reaction from this lady. Sometimes people get ticked off when they hear the truth, especially when it’s connected to their own misbehavior. It may even be a good idea for your wife, her sister and your father-in-law to get some advice from a family counselor beforehand. What we’re really talking about here is an intervention. If she were a drunk, you’d want to try and make her see how alcohol was hurting her and the relationships she has with her family. Basically, she has a credit card addiction, and it’s wreaking havoc on her marriage and their financial well-being. Show as much love and understanding as possible, but someone has to say something and draw a line in the sand. Otherwise, this behavior will eat everyone alive!

skilled university-quality orthopedic physicians and be able to take advantage of new sub-specialties, such as pediatric orthopedics, that currently are not available in our region. Health care has always been a local phenomenon as it should be, however we are still seeing over 50 percent out-migration from McHenry County for orthopedic care. That means too many patients don’t think the care provided locally is good enough. Our merger is designed to combat that trend by bringing more subspecialties and increased expertise to our communities. We will continue our proud relationship with Centegra Health System and work closely with them to bring comprehensive orthopedic services to the new

Huntley hospital and expand service offerings in northern McHenry County. This will allow us to provide an even higher standard of full-service care to our patients and ultimately, allow our patients to stay local and receive worldclass health care right in their own community. Families in our region deserve the same high quality care and availability that they seek from Chicago health-care providers. It’s time to keep it local. We believe our merger gives great hope to our patients and our communities. Like a great high jumper I know once told me, “Raise the bar, Dad.” Our merger will do just that.

Dear Dave,

I want to get out of my whole life policy. Should I formally close out the old policy, or just stop paying the premiums?

Continued from page D1

– Anonymous

Dear Anonymous, Close out the old policy once you have a good, term life insurance policy in place. I recommend 15- to 20-year level term insurance equal to 10 to 12 times your annual income. For instance, if you make $40,000 a year, you should have $400,000 to $500,000 in coverage. Term life insurance is much less expensive than whole life. Plus, did you know that you lose the part of your whole life policy known as the “savings plan” or “cash value” when you die? They only pay the face amount of the policy. So, close it out and stop pumping money into that thing! But don’t leave yourself uninsured. Make sure you have the proper coverage in a term policy first. There is never a good time to save money inside a rip-off, whole life, cash value insurance plan!

That growth started to slow late last year as overseas auto sales slowed, National Association of Manufacturers chief economist Chad Moutray said. That’s one unknown that could have a big influence on Illinois’ manufacturing health this year, Challenger said. “It’ll be important for the state’s economy to see consumer spending on autos hold up in 2013,” he said. New factory jobs, though, typically require a heavy dose of training to deal with an increasingly technical world. Community colleges now offer a wide range of manufacturing-related credentials in anything from logistics to quality control, said Jim Nelson, vice president of the Illinois Manufacturers’ Association. “Everybody who wants to work in today’s manufacturing environment needs some post-secondary education,” he said. “The K-12 system does go a long way to preparing students for the world of work, but because we now rely so much on robotics, computer animated systems.” It’s the same way in the health care industry, said Joel Shalowitz, a physician, professor and director of health industry man-

agement at the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University. “We are really entering an era where somebody’s going to need a higher level of training – and not just education, but training,” Shalowitz said. Even with reasonably strong job creation, many of the postrecession jobs tend to pay lower wages than jobs lost to the downturn. The median hourly wage in Illinois in 2007 was $15.80, according to the U.S. Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics. Adjusted for inflation, that’s the equivalent of $17.14 in 2011, the most recent year for which the BLS has data. But the actual hourly wage was $16.95. A series of recent stories by The Associated Press found a similar trend around the country. Half the 7.5 million U.S. jobs lost to the Great Recession were in industries that pay middle class wages but only 2 percent of the 3.5 million gained back are in such industries. Seventy percent, in fact, are in low-wage businesses. Technology has done away with many jobs. Some but certainly not all of the jobs expected to be created by President Obama’s health-care law, though, would carry higherthan-average pay. “There’s technology jobs, so

that’s developing new products, things like drugs, devices, procedures,” Shalowitz said. “Not just the scientific area, but also the management of it. You (also) need marketing.” A medical device-maker, Cook Medical, opened a plant in Canton last year, for instance. One area that isn’t expected to produce new Illinois jobs this year is government employment because of the state’s massive

budget deficit pension obligations. Government employment dropped almost 1 percent in Illinois last year. That’s a loss of 7,100 jobs, down to 834,500, according to the state Department of Employment Security. “It’s as bad as any state in the U.S.,” Challenger said. “We’ll continue to see jobs cuts in 2013 in the public sector – teachers and policemen and firefighters.”

Freestanding children’s showroom is under construction at the Volo Auto Museum.

Cars for kids Volo Auto Museum building new showroom NORTHWEST HERALD VOLO – From its polished marble floor to its crystal chandeliers, what used to be the most whimsical showroom at the Volo Auto Museum has received an extreme makeover. Children shouldn’t fret, though. A whole new, kid-friendly showroom is under construction on the hill at the Volo Auto Museum, 27582 Volo Village Road, Volo. “We wanted to expand our kids’ area,” said Brian Grams, museum director. “That’s why we are building the new building and converting the old kids’ museum into an exhibit hall. “We will be gathering all of the thoroughbred kids’ cars, currently scattered throughout the museum, into one location. These include cars like the Flintstones mobile, Sponge Bob’s Boatmobile, Disney’s Lightning McQueen and Doc Hudson, Cinderella’s Hot Rod, etc.” A fall celebrity car auction generated about $260,000, and museum officials have put that money toward the fifth showroom as well as the upscale, grand hall, Grams said. Grand openings are planned Memorial Day weekend for the showroom and Father’s Day weekend for the exhibit hall. The showroom is a freestanding, 10,000-square-foot building on which construction began in mid-January. In addition to cars, it will house kiddy rides and interactive displays. “We bought a bunch of props from a Disney store when it went out of business,” Grams said. “It will have not

8BUSINESS ROUNDUP S&P 500 ends higher, extending streak NEW YORK – The S&P 500 kept its winning streak alive, just. The Standard & Poor’s 500 ended the week nearly two points higher, enough to give it a seventh straight week of gains. That’s the longest stretch of advances in more than two years. The index lost 1.59 points to end at 1,519.79 Friday. For the week it held on to a gain of 1.86 points. Investors piled into stocks at the beginning of the year after lawmakers reached a lastminute deal to avoid the “fiscal cliff” of sweeping tax hikes and spending cuts. The gains continued as investors were encouraged by signs that the housing and jobs markets are recovering. Company earnings have also held up well. The Dow Jones industrial average rose 8.37 points to close at 13,981.76 Friday, but ended the week down 11 points. The index has now edged lower for two straight weeks. Wal-Mart was the biggest decliner in the Dow Friday. The stock fell $1.52, or 2.2 percent, to $69.30 after Bloomberg News published excerpts from an internal email that said sales in February were a “total disaster.” The retailer reports earnings next week.

The space also now houses a mini-theater with 28 seats that in the 1930s were part of Radio City Music Hall at Rockefeller Center. Here, visitors will be able to view films relating to featured exhibits. “This year it will be 100 years of the Duesenberg,” Grams said. “We’ll be showcasing six of the rarest Duesenbergs ever built.” The Volo Auto Museum has provided year-round family entertainment since 1960, as well as sales and consignments of antique, classic and

muscle cars. Currently, the museum has about 300 cars on display, the oldest being an 1895 Star. Also on-site is a military museum featuring dozens of rare, functional vehicles, weaponry, uniforms and more. “We are constantly looking at ways to improve the visitor experience,” Grams said. Added his father, Greg Grams: “The biggest gets bigger!” The museum is open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily. Admission is $11.95 per adult, $6.95 for children ages 6 to 12, and $9.95 for veterans and military personnel with ID. Admission is free for military personnel in uniform and children 5 and younger. Summer rates apply starting mid-May. For more information, visit www.volocars.com or call 815-385-3644.

NEW YORK – A feud between Wall Street titans is flaring up again over Herbalife. Carl Icahn has taken a 13 percent stake in the supplement company that Pershing Square Capital Management’s William Ackman calls a pyramid scheme. Ackman has bet that the company’s stock price will fall. Icahn’s investment, revealed in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission late Thursday, comes three weeks after a spat between the two men boiled over on live television, with each phoning in to CNBC and insulting each other. The stock price of Herbalife rose 47 cents, or 1.23 percent, to close at $38.74 Friday. It jumped more than 20 percent before the opening bell. Icahn said in the regulatory filing that he plans to have discussions with Herbalife management about business and strategic alternatives to enhance shareholder value, including the possibility of going private.

Burger King feels heat as rivals focus on value By CANDICE CHOI and MICHELLE CHAPMAN AP Business Writers NEW YORK – A revamped menu helped boost Burger King’s profit in the fourth quarter but now the world’s second biggest hamburger chain says it needs to play up value more aggressively to compete with rivals. The Miami-based chain said Friday that sales in the new year are trending “modestly negative” as the broader fast-food industry fights to attract cash-strapped diners with cheap eats. To address the intensifying focus on value from competitors, Steve Wiborg, president of Burger King’s North America operations, noted the company launched a limitedtime offer for a Junior Whopper for $1.29 this week. Although Burger King will continue to pursue a “barbell” strategy of also offering premium items, Wiborg said that for now it will be “a little more focused on value because of competitive pressures.”

In this December 2012 photo, a customer purchases a meal at a Burger King restaurant in Marseille-Provence airport, in Marignane, France. With the broader restaurant industry expected to be flat to modestly up this year, companies are going to greater lengths to convince people to eat out more. McDonald’s, for example, has been underscoring its

Dollar Menu to boost sales and recently added a Grilled Onion Cheddar Burger to the lineup. In some markets, the Oak Brook-based chain is also offering six-piece Chicken McNuggets for a buck.

Wendy’s also revamped its 99cent menu to offer customers more variety, as well as giving it more wiggle room to charge slightly higher prices. The chain’s new “Right Price, Right Size” menu has tiered pricing that goes up to around $2. Meanwhile, Burger King CEO Bernardo Hees said that sales in Europe haven’t been affected by the horsemeat scandal that has gripped the region. The scandal erupted after testing showed that various ground beef products, such as a frozen lasagna meal, actually contained horsemeat. But Hees said Burger King’s sales in the United Kingdom have been up in January and February. The remarks from Hees and Wiborg came after Burger King delivered a strong fourth-quarter results; its net income nearly doubled as a key sales figure rose in North America and the company shifted to a franchisee-owned store model that significantly slashed costs.

Help your teen build sound financial skills

U.S. factory output falls on weak auto production

For most teenagers, spending money seems to come naturally. But that doesn’t mean they know how to manage it. In fact, the JumpStart Coalition for Personal Financial Literacy recently found that only 10 percent of 12th-graders could satisfactorily answer questions about personal finance. Some couldn’t balance a checkbook. Yet many high school students have, and regularly use, credit cards – with little or no understanding of how interest rates, skipped payments or continual high balances can impact a person’s financial future. So whether you’ve already begun the process of instilling sound money management in your teen or you’re searching for ways to begin, you may find the following tips helpful. • Lead by example. Take a look in the mirror. If, for instance, you budget effectively, invest wisely, pay down debt and donate to charity, most likely your children will learn by example. Financial responsibility is one area where a parent’s actions definitely speak louder than words. • Talk about money management. As soon as your child begins to earn money, it is important that he or she thinks about how to manage the income. A budget may seem annoying and a little extreme – but a basic plan may set the tone for jumpstarting your teen’s financial future while still leaving money left to buys the things

By MARTIN CRUTSINGER AP Economics Writer WASHINGTON – U.S. factories slowed production in January after two solid months of cranking out goods. The weakness mainly reflected a big drop in output at auto factories that is likely temporary. Manufacturing output fell 0.4 percent in January from December, the Federal Reserve said Friday. The decline followed increases of 1.1 percent in December and 1.7 percent in November. Overall industrial production edged down 0.1 percent in January compared with December. Output In mining, the category that covers oil and gas drilling, fell 1 percent. Utility output jumped 3.5 percent, as a cold snap led more households to turn up their heat. Factory output, the most important component of industrial production, was dragged lower by a steep 3.2 percent decline in auto and auto parts production. The auto industry is coming off its best year for sales in five years, one of the few bright spots in an otherwise bleak manufacturing sector. Sales continue to rise, so production will likely rebound in February. Still, many factories outside the auto industry have been hurt by a slowdown in consumer spending and weaker global growth that has dampened demand for U.S. exports. Economists expect healthier output in 2013, partly because U.S. companies are sitting on large amounts of cash and appear poised to invest some of it in equipment and machinery. “Global growth will still be fairly weak this year, which will prevent industry from firing on all cylinders. But there’s no denying that industrial conditions have recently improved,” said Paul Dales, senior U.S. economist at Capital Economics.

that will help him or her enjoy today. Your teenager’s desire for a new video game, phone, computer or car can work to your advantage. At this stage, you can begin to have periodic family financial discussions. This doesn’t necessarily mean that your teenager needs to know your total income or the amount of your home mortgage. But you can certainly begin to familiarize your teenager with the family budget, financial challenges you may be facing, some of the family’s longer-term goals and priorities, and perhaps how he or she can help you make progress toward these goals. • Encourage your child to start saving early. Even if in the beginning your teenager is more into buying new clothes for the school dance rather than putting away money for medical school, saving as early as possible for whatever the goal may be is key. And no matter the size of the paycheck, help your child recognize the importance of always saving a portion of what she earns. Practicing good savings habits early can result in developing wise money management skills that can last a lifetime. Your financial adviser can advise you

lier. Removing one-time costs, earnings were 23 cents per share. Analysts polled by FactSet expected 15 cents per share. Revenue fell 30 percent to $404.5 million as a result of the refranchising. This still topped Wall Street’s estimate of $375.3 million. Shares of Burger King gained 43 cents, or 2.6 percent, to $17 in midday trading. Its shares have been trading near the upper end of their 52-week range $12.91 to $18.46. For the year, Burger King Worldwide Inc. earned $117.7 million, or 33 cents per share. That’s up from $88.1 million, or 25 cents per share, in the previous year. Annual revenue declined 16 percent to $1.97 billion from $2.34 billion. Burger King Worldwide has more than 12,900 locations in 86 countries and territories.

McDonald’s Corp. had reported last month that the figure rose just 0.1 percent globally and 0.3 percent in the U.S. Burger King said results in North America were helped by new menu items such as its chicken parmesan sandwich, Cinnabon Minibon rolls and its holiday sweets menu. In the region encompassing Europe, the Middle East and Africa, the figure rose 1.6 percent. It edged up a more modest 0.7 percent in Latin America and 0.8 percent in the Asia Pacific region. This figure is a key gauge of a restaurant operator’s health because it strips out the impact of newly closed and opened locations. For the three months ended Dec. 31, Burger King earned $48.6 million, or 14 cents per share. That compares with $25 million, or 7 cents per share, a year ear-

• BURGER KING Continued from page D1 Adjusted earnings and revenue topped Wall Street’s expectations. It also raised its dividend by 25 percent to 5 cents per share. 3G Capital, the private investment firm that owns a majority stake in the company, has been working to turn around Burger King’s business since purchasing it in 2010. The franchisee-owned store model is aimed at cutting down on overhead costs and boosting profit margins. At the end of the year, the company said it was 97 percent franchised, versus 90 percent at the end of 2011. It planned to be nearly fully franchised this year. Burger King said revenue at locations open at least a year climbed 2.7 percent in the quarter, boosted by a 3.7 percent increase in the U.S. and Canada. By contrast,

and your teen on a variety of investment accounts designed for saving money: savings accounts, certificates of deposit, mutual funds and money market accounts are just some of the options. • Stress the importance of establishing responsible credit. There are several ways for a teenager to establish responsible credit – by opening a checking account, using savings to secure a loan or getting a secured credit card. If your older teen (or college-bound student) wants a credit card, you might seize the opportunity to have a serious talk or two about spending. In general, teens with credit cards are less price-conscious and often spend more than they should. While credit cards are a very common and popular way to help a teenager establish a credit history, when misused the cards can also cost a lot of money. Paying credit card bills late, not paying off balances in full each month and incurring late payment fees are shortcuts for teens getting in over their heads. • Explain credit scores. Make sure your teenager understands that once anyone has created a bad credit history, it can take a long time to recover. A bad credit score can keep your teen from getting a job after college or a mortgage on a home. In all fairness, your teenage son or daughter may not even know what a credit

score is. Simply put, a credit score is a snapshot of a person’s credit risk at a particular point in his or her credit history. The score helps a lender determine how likely you are to repay your debt on time. For teens with no credit history, no score can be computed. You can help your teenager understand that one of the keys to qualifying for the loan he or she will want some day at a competitive rate is a strong credit score. Even beyond being a key indicator of whether or not an applicant can qualify for a mortgage or line of credit, credit scores are used in other ways that affect people’s lives. For instance, it’s been reported in The Wall Street Journal that one in six companies use credit scores before extending a job offer. Wells Fargo Advisors has some great money management resources available to families – ask your financial adviser for information for tips and suggestions to help your children build sound financial skills.

AT&T’s Michigan Avenue store wins top design honors CHICAGO – AT&T’s flagship brand store at 600 N. Michigan Ave. took home top honors during the 42nd Retail Design Institute Design Awards Gala. The 10,000-square-foot store was awarded first place in the Service Retail Category, and a Special Merit Award for Innovation in Customer Experience & Technology. It was also a finalist for Store Design of the Year. This annual competition celebrates exceptional retail design among more than 200 competitors representing retailers and designers from around the world. “AT&T’s Michigan Avenue store sets a new benchmark for traditional service provider stores with an innovative design that showcases mobile technology as connected solu-

tions and featuring devices, apps and services as part of curated collections,” said Brian Dyches, FRDI International Chairman Retail Design Institute. “By implementing unique design elements, the AT&T flagship brand store has completely reinvented the traditional sales experience, changing it from a focus on the ‘transaction’ to the ‘interaction.’” “Our Michigan Avenue store helps bring the AT&T brand to life in ways that are meaningful and specific to each customer that walks through the door,” said Paul Roth, president of AT&T retail sales and service. “Customers can learn more about who we are, what we do, and what that can mean in their daily lives at home, work, play, and the journey in between.”

By PHILLIP ALDER Newspaper Enterprise Association

Groucho Marx said, “I ﬁnd television very educating. Every time somebody turns on the set, I go into the other room and read a book.” That sounds like a good plan. Every time someone in your house turns on a television set, go into another room and reread this column! Good bridge players do a lot of “reading” at the table. They read the bidding and the played cards, gaining information from them. A good reader would ﬁnd this deal easy, but someone less literate would struggle. How should South play in four hearts after West cashes two top diamonds (East playing jack-four, high-low, to show his doubleton), then shifts to a club? Note South’s advance of his partner’s takeout double. Since South was an unpassed hand, his twoheart single jump showed some 9 to 11 points with four-plus hearts. (If South were a passed hand, he would have been promising a good seven to a poor 10 points.) South has already con-

ceded two tricks, so he can afford only one more loser. The black suits are safe, so he must handle trumps carefully. Normally one would either cash the ace, cross to dummy and lead toward the queen; or immediately ﬁnesse the queen. However, can East have the heart king here? Not if the bidding is to be believed. West surely needs that king. So, reading West for king-doubleton, the right line is to cash the heart ace, then to continue with a low heart, hoping that the king appears.

HOROSCOPE

TODAY - There’s a good chance that in the year ahead you could become friends with a selective someone who doesn’t hit it off with just anybody. This alliance could turn out to be very exciting for both parties. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Be careful, because some extravagant whims could gain control of your purse strings. Later, when it’s time to pay the bills, you’ll wish you had exercised greater control. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- You’re in for a big surprise if you expect others to drop what they’re doing and cater to your desires.

The only person you should depend on is you. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Attempting to use honeyed words to manipulate another is likely to backfire. Any insincerity on your part will be immediately detected and disliked. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- A pal who is an expert at disappearing when the check is presented will try that ploy again. If you’re smart, you’ll ask for separate checks up front. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- To succeed, you need to make a concerted effort to

clearly define your objectives -- otherwise you could find yourself employing wishy-washy tactics that don’t work. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You should take care not to confuse optimism with wishful thinking, because the results would be catastrophic. The former inspires and emboldens, while the latter merely dreams. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Be careful and don’t take what is told to you at face value. Someone might try to draw you into a joint endeavor for reasons that are more beneficial

for him or her than they are for you. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- No one will have to tell you that partnerships have both advantages and disadvantages. You’ll need to figure out whether such an arrangement would be worthwhile to your cause. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- If there is an important assignment that you need to delegate, make sure your instructions are clear about how to go about it and what results you expect. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- It’s good to be helpful whenever you can, but don’t

offer any suggestions or try to manage something for another if you don’t know a thing about it. Mind your own beeswax. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Be extremely selective about whom you go to for help and advice today. An ineffective counselor could cause more trouble by putting you onto a path of “never-never” land. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- When you choose, you can be a self-directed person who doesn’t waste time getting down to brass. Today, however, your rationalizing attitude might inhibit this.

‘Don’t worry, be happy’ easier said than done It’s a simple question, so it shouldn’t be hard to answer: How happy are you? “Well, sure, I’m happy,” I can hear you say. “I mean, I’d love to lose a few pounds, and a bit more money would be nice. And I can’t quite shake this nagging cold. But sure, I’m happy.” OK, you’re right. Maybe that question wasn’t as easy as I thought it might be. Let’s try asking it a different way: Does America make you happy? “Oh, that’s supposed to be easier?” I hear you say. “I mean, I’m proud to be an American and all – it’s the greatest country in the world. But sometimes I’d like to strangle everybody on both sides of the aisle in Congress. And with the economy being what it is, and unemployment, and taxes, and the budget deficit. … And then the kids want to go to college, and where is that money going to come from with university costs skyrocketing?” OK, sorry. You’re right again. That wasn’t an easy question either. Let’s try this one: Would you be a happier person if you lived in any country other than the United States? “Ah, much better,” I can hear you say. “That’s an easy one to answer: No way. No other country on earth would make me a happier person if I lived there instead of here.” Finally! It’s nice to get a straight answer to a straight question – even if your answer is probably dead wrong, according to detailed studies conducted year after year. Six years ago, the Legatum Institute, a nonpartisan think tank centered in London, established a complex set of criteria to assess the happiness of 142 nations, representing 96 percent of the earth’s population. The study measures 89 indicators in 8 categories, including education, government, personal well-being, quality of life and economics. Measurements are taken both objectively (suicide, income, or crime) and subjectively (how hard people think it is to find work, or whether they believe that hard work is a recipe for success in their country.) So who are the happiest people in the

world? Well, year after year, the Scandinavians are. Norwegians lead the pack of happy folk, followed by Danes and Swedes. Americans? Sorry, we’re not in the top handful of nations. If you’re counting on your fingers, take off a shoe. This year we slid in at number 12. Who else is happier than we are? In descending order the rest of the top ten are Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Finland, the Netherlands, Switzerland and Ireland. With the exception of New Zealand, I have visited all of those countries, some of them more than a dozen times for weeks on end, and I found the people in each land to be pretty much as the Legatum folks described them. Happy, happy, happy, and they don’t hesitate to admit it. Still, it is a curious list, isn’t it? After all, those countries share qualities most Americans think would make them grumpy. For example, most of those countries are ruled by a king or a queen, even if it is only a figurehead position. We fought a war to escape the misery of monarchy, didn’t we? Most are constitutional monarchies with a democratically elected parliament, but they have seven or eight rival political parties in each election. The eventual winner may receive only a quarter of the votes cast and then must struggle to build a coalition government. How can there be post-election smiles all around when even the winner is a big-time loser? Most of those countries pay high taxes to support a borderline socialist system, with generous welfare benefits and high distribution of wealth. Happy talk? Many of them require at least a year of civil service before full entitlements kick in. Smile – you’ve been drafted into the military. Some of them, like the Netherlands, have decriminalized drugs and prostitution. Americans are only happy when we wage war against those things, aren’t we?

Still, they also have qualities we Americans value. Most have a high standard of living (Norway’s per capita GDP is $57,000 a year.) And then there’s freedom and security. Ninety-five percent of Norwegians are satisfied with their ability to choose the direction of their lives, and 74 percent believe other people can be trusted. Most of those happy states enjoy universal health care and free education – well, free once you have paid your high taxes. That doesn’t mean Norway is the best place in the world to live – only that it is the happiest place in the world to live. If there is a price to that happiness, it is a price that Norwegians are more than willing to pay. And the same goes for the other smiling nations on the list. So what’s the secret of happiness, judging by the world’s 10 happiest nations? Well, it seems that size matters. Seven of the happiest 10 nations hold fewer than 10 million citizens. The largest of the top 10 – Canada, with 33 million citizens – has one-tenth the population of the United States. By contrast, India, with more than a billion citizens, ranks near the bottom of the happiness list at number 91. So if there is any consolation, you might take heart in the fact the USA is the happiest big-dog in the race – even if the Statue of Liberty might rightfully hold up a sign that says, “Welcome to America. Please check your happiness at the door.” In any case, there you have it. If you’re waiting to hear the point about all this, you’ll have to make your own. I don’t have a point to make about why 11 other nations find it easier to answer the question, “Are you happy?” When you say America is the greatest country in the world, I’m happy to agree with you. But sadly, it seems America’s greatness is nothing to smile about.

Chicken Curry makes a speedy, delicious dinner By J.M. HIRSCH The Associated Press It didn’t seem too much to ask for. I wanted a coconut chicken curry that is fast, delicious and not loaded with fat. Turned out to be easier than I expected. Let’s start with the sauce. The key is to make it rich and flavorful without resorting to the usual culprit – full-fat coconut milk. I considered using light coconut milk, but generally have found curries made with it to be thin and uninspiring. Fat, after all, is mighty yummy. My solution was to start with a small amount of light coconut milk, but then doctor it up. Pureeing into it a jar of roasted red peppers and a small onion was just the trick. This provided the sauce with body, as well as both sweet and savory flavors. A hefty dose

of curry powder and some lemon grass added during cooking rounded it all out. To cook, all I did was bring my sauce to a simmer in a large saute pan, then add my chicken. To bulk out the recipe with good lean protein, I also added a can of chickpeas. I tasted it as it cooked and felt it was missing something... sweet. But I wanted to avoid the obvious – sugar, honey, etc. – if I could. So I tried added grated carrots. Perfect! More healthy veggies and just the right amount of natural sweetness. While you could use boneless, skinless chicken breasts in this recipe, I prefer thighs. They have a richer flavor and don’t get tough the way breasts can.

Speedy And Light Chicken Curry Start to finish: 30 minutes Servings: 6

Speedy And Light Chicken Curry AP photo

12-ounce jar roasted red peppers, drained 1 small yellow onion, chopped 1 cup chicken broth 1/2 cup light coconut milk 2 teaspoons curry powder Three 3-inch lengths fresh lemon grass 15-ounce can chickpeas, drained 1 cup grated carrots 1 3/4 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs In a blender or food processor,

combine the red peppers, onion, broth, coconut milk and curry powder. Process or puree until completely smooth. Pour the sauce into a large, deep sauté pan over mediumhigh heat. Bring to a simmer. Use a rolling pin or meat mallet to lightly crush the lemon grass, then add to the sauce. Stir in the chickpeas and carrots. Nestle the chicken thighs into the sauce, being sure the tops are covered.

Local efforts target teen hearts Screenings catch defects early to prevent deaths in young athletes By JAMI KUNZER jkunzer@shawmedia.com No parents want to hear their teen could have heart trouble. But those behind various heart screening programs throughout the area would rather make that call than a more tragic one. Either due to raised awareness or more strenuous activities, accounts of seemingly healthy high school athletes dying on basketball courts and football fields have become more frequent, especially in the past decade. In response, Centegra Health System began hosting heart screenings designed for teens ages 13 to 18, with the cardiologist behind the screenings hoping to eventually expand the program to all high school athletes. And elsewhere, a Young Hearts for Life Cardiac Screening Program offered through Advocate Good Samaritan Hospital brings

volunteers to area high schools to screen students. The efforts are designed to prevent sudden deaths due to undiagnosed heart conditions in teens. “We really had no tools to try to do anything to address that,” said Dr. Joseph Marek, a cardiologist on the medical staff at Good Samaritan, who started the Young Hearts for Life program.

Making an impact In 2006, Dr. Marek organized a free screening at an area school, testing 67 students. He knew he wanted to scale the program up. So he began training parents to do the screenings, supervised by clinical staff. Since, more than 90,000 students at more than 50 high schools have been screened. The schools are visited every two years, with parents having the option to let students go through the about 4-minute, free screenings. “We’re the largest program in the country for this, probably the world,” Dr. Marek said. “It’s not that we

chose to be the world’s largest or anything. We realized in order to have an impact, we would have to access a lot of students. It had to be large-scale.” Only a few years old, Centegra’s program allows parents to bring teens to various screenings and locations with the Centegra Wellness on the Move mobile unit. Centegra’s screenings, which are echocardiogram (ECHO) screenings, cost $85. Since Centegra began its screenings, abnormalities have been found in 9 to 11 percent of the about 200 tests, said Dr. R. David Halstead, a pediatric cardiologist with Centegra Physician Care – McHenry. Of those, only a few were significant enough to tell the teen to refrain from activity until further tests could be done, he said. Although Halstead reviews all the screenings, those with abnormalities aren’t told they must come back to Centegra, he said.

Start keeping tabs on health during American Heart Month Heart disease causes the death of one in three women each year, killing about one woman every minute. For the past 30 years, more women than men have died each year from heart disease. Ninety percent of women have one or more risk factors for developing heart disease. Some risk factors you can control, and others you cannot. However, with the right information, education and

FROM THE HEALTH DEPT. Karin Buck care, the number of people affected by heart disease can be reduced. Heart disease affects the blood vessels and cardiovascular system. Here are a few healthy lifestyle changes you can make to lower your risk:

• See your physician for an annual exam. Discuss your family history and possible risk factors. • Don’t smoke! If you do use tobacco, the Illinois Tobacco Quitline provides free phone counseling, nicotine replacement products to those who qualify, and they can help you find a quit smoking class for support. 1-866-QUIT-YES. • Know your numbers. Make it a goal to manage your blood sugar, get your blood

pressure under control, and lower your cholesterol. The McHenry County Department of Health offers cardiovascular screenings throughout the year. Call 815-334-4510 for information.

• Stay active and lose weight. Walking is a great way to start. Exercise also helps reduce stress. • Eat healthy. Read nutrition labels, eat a variety of foods and watch portion sizes. Since February is Ameri-

can Heart Month, it’s a great time to take steps in caring for your heart. Let this month be the beginning of a hearthealthy lifestyle for you and those you love. For information, visit the American Heart Association’s website at www.americanheart.org

‘Near and dear’ to the heart The program has thrived because of its numerous volunteers, many with medical backgrounds, who go to all the screenings. Parents, such as Susan Nelsen of North Barrington, become involved when their children are in high school and remain involved. A nurse in the ICU surgical heart recovery at Northwest Community Hospital for 22 years before retiring, Nelsen has used her background to become one of a

core group of volunteers. She’s also become a parent instructor and trains instructors. “Doctors do not do EKGs on kids, and I’ve always thought that was kind of odd considering the number of high school athletes you read about every year in the newspaper that collapse,” he said. “Young Hearts for Life is trying to be proactive and see if they can diagnose any irregularities prior to the kids collapsing,” she said. “This is very near and dear to me. I think it’s really doing something there isn’t another outlet for.” Donations from hospitals, schools and other businesses also help keep the free program going, said Dr. Marek, who previously volunteered for Max and the Wild Things (www. maxandthewildthings.com) based in Lake County. Inspired by the death of 20-yearold Max Schewitz of Lake Bluff from an apparent heart irregularity, the nonprofit group supports education, prevention and research of sudden cardiac death in young people. Dr. Marek sought to create a program with a similar goal closer to home when he pursued Young Hearts for Life. “Doing these ECGs is now the easiest part of it,” Dr. Marek said. “The hardest part is getting the word out so parents are aware of this program and take advantage of it.”

Screen your teen • Centegra Health System offers echocardiogram (ECHO) heart screenings designed for teens ages 13 to 18. The screenings take place at the Centegra Primary Care locations on the Centegra Wellness on the Move mobile health unit for $85. The next screening is 4 to 7 p.m. Monday at Centegra Physician Care – Huntley, 10350 Haligus Road. The screenings require completion of a pre-screening questionnaire, parental or guardian consent and presence of a parent or guardian at the screening. For information, visit centegra.org/ echo. • A Young Hearts for Life Cardiac Screening Program offered through Advocate Good Samaritan Hospital brings groups of qualified community volunteers to Chicago area high schools to provide free screenings to students. Since the program launched in 2006, more than 10,000 parent volunteers have been trained and more than 90,000 students tested. Each student is given an electrocardiogram (EKG or ECG), a quick, painless, noninvasive test that last three to four minutes. For information on the program, visit www.midwestheart.org/young-heartsfor-life.

The information is provided to the teen’s primary care physician and the parent advised of the options. Dr. Halstead hopes to reach more teens, perhaps by focusing exclusively on athletes, in the future. “We’ve looked into and are still looking into ways to expand it,” he said. “There’s been talk about some federal and state agencies being willing to fund the programs for a widebased screening.” For now, he advises those with any family history of cardiac-related deaths, even from past or skipped generations, to get screened. “If they have a child that has fainted, had problems during activities, becomes winded quite easily, these are the things that should be looked into as well,” he said. Centegra’s ECHO screenings take a partial look at the heart but can signal potential defects, including a thickening of the heart muscle, or hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Studies have shown this is the most frequent cause of sudden cardiac arrest in young people. The American Academy of Pediatrics has estimated that 2,000 people younger than 25 die from sudden cardiac arrest in the United States

every year. Simple, quick and painless, the main risk of doing the screenings on teens is the potential for a false result, Dr. Marek said. “As a parent, when I looked at that issue, I thought I would rather go through that with the child than to get the call Dr. David that they’d died on the Halstead football field,” he said. Pediatric About 2 percent of cardiologist the screenings have with Centegra shown the need for furPhysician ther evaluation, he said. Care – Like Centegra, McHenry parents are informed of potential abnormalities and given further information, but not expected to follow up with Advocate.

NEW RELEASE “Truth in Advertising” (Touchstone), by John Kenney What it’s about: Ad copywriter Finbar Dolan is encouraged to “make his mark” with promotions for assorted banal products – particularly the creation of a Super Bowl ad for a “revolutionary” brand of disposable diapers. Verdict: This debut novel reads at times like a laugh-out-loud standup routine. What sustains it, though, is much more substantial: an engaging, believable plot, a fascinating if jaundiced view inside the contemporary world of New York advertising, and most of all, a lead character you’re glad you get to know, even if doing so becomes infuriating at times. – The Associated Press Find more literary news and full reviews at PlanitNorthwest.com/books.

Gand celebrates her art Famous chef to recount her journey at Opera House By JAMI KUNZER jkunzer@shawmedia.com

hen Gale Gand told her musical family at age 19 she intended to be a chef, the reaction was disappointment. She endured a decade’s worth of

hassle. “I might as well have told them I wanted to be a murderer or a plumber,” she said. “They didn’t get it was just another art form.” Dealing with the male-dominated restaurant industry wasn’t any easier. Like many women, she said, she struggled at first. “It’s a boy’s club you kind of have to break into,” she said. “I’m not tall, and I’m not masculine. For me, it was probably extra challenging. I’m 5-foot-2inches and kind of smiley and perky. I was sort of a foreign species for the kitchen.” Years later, Gand has quite a success story to tell. She’ll do so at 10 a.m. Thursday as part of the Woodstock Fine Arts Association’s Creative Living Series at the Opera House, 121 Van Buren St. Her “A Chef’s Journey” presentation is part of a six-speaker series. A nationally acclaimed pastry chef, Gand also is a restaurateur, cookbook author, television personality, teacher, entrepreneur and mother of 16-year-old Gio and 8-year-old twins Ella and Ruby. She hosted the Food Network’s “Sweet Dreams,” and has appeared on “Martha Stewart,” “The Oprah Winfrey Show,” “Iron Chef America,” “The Dr. Oz Show,” “Baking with Julia,” “Food Network Challenge” and “Last Cake Standing.” She also has judged the 2008 season of Bravo’s “Top Chef” and “Top Chef Just Desserts.” Needless to say, becoming a chef was something she was born to do, despite her struggles. And her family members, including her father, Bob, a jazz musician and owner of the Village Music Store in Deerfield, have come to realize Gale’s choice to create pastries was just another art form, she said. Although she first resisted pastries to avoid getting typecast, she found it was a good fit. Being in the restaurant business requires hard work and passion, and pastries require the “hands of a surgeon,” she said. “I work with precision, but I love how alive the ingredients are. ... It kind of speaks to me,” she said. “Sharing food is just this really intimate important experience. ... I like to help people mark important moments in their lives and contribute to that.” She said she loves being part of a marriage proposal, a gathering for someone who’s fought cancer and other celebrations. Having performed with a family of singers from age 6 to 20, she’s always been part of the entertainment. “I think because that’s the way I was raised, I feel good about providing wonderful meals for people,” she said. Partner and founding executive pastry chef of Tru in Chicago with restaurateur Rich Melmam, she was recognized in 2001 as Outstanding Pastry Chef of the Year by The James Beard Foundation and Bon Appetite Magazine. She now works as the chef-in-residence at Elawa Farm in Lake Forest, cooking and baking from produce grown in the farm’s gardens to sell at their

Sample recipe from ‘Gale Gand’s Brunch’

y grandma Elsie on my mother’s side was a great baker in the AustroHungarian tradition. Strudels, poppyseed cakes, coffee cakes and cookies always seemed to be in her kitchen when we visited. I found a great apple streusel coffee cake recipe in her card files when I became the keeper of those treasures. Here it is, revived, with my little twist of using pears instead of apples. – Gale Gand

INFO: For information on the Creative Living Series, visit www. woodstockfineartsassociation.org. For information on Chef Gand, visit www.galegand.com. weekly farmer’s market. She also runs a cooking school there. And she said she’s fortunate she’s been able to pursue all this while still having a family. Her latest book, “Gale Gand’s Brunch,” originated from her desire to host brunches instead of late dinner parties after having her twins. “I just have a lot of places to get a lot of joy from in my life,” she said.

For the cake: 1¼ cups flour 2¼ teaspoons baking powder ½ cup sugar ½ teaspoon salt ½ teaspoon cinnamon 1 egg ½ cup milk ¼ cup melted butter 2 chopped ripe pears (I like Bartlett) For the streusel topping: ½ cup sugar ¼ cup flour 3 tablespoons butter, melted 1 teaspoon cinnamon Heat the oven to 400 degrees F. Butter an 8-inch square baking dish or line it with parchment paper. In a mixing bowl using a wooden spoon, stir together the dry ingredients. Add the egg, the milk and the ¼-cup butter and stir until combined. Add the chopped pears and stir to coat them with the batter. Pour into the buttered baking dish. To make the streusel, mix the sugar, flour, and cinnamon together in a bowl then pour in the 3 tablespoons melted butter and stir until blended. Sprinkle over the top of the batter. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until golden and dry on top. Cool in the pan and cut into squares. This cake keeps for up to four days, covered at room temperature and is actually better if made the night before. Visit PlanitNorthwest.com to try Gand’s recipe for Baked Eggs in Ham Cups

DEAR ABBY

New marriage stumbles after man steps out of line Dear Abby: I recently married a loving man who works full time and is studying for his MBA online. A few months ago, he received a promotion and was transferred to another state, so after our wedding I moved here to be with him. While he was living here alone before our wedding, he got into some trouble with the law, and he’s now on probation. He was never in trouble before. I have no family or friends here, and he can’t go out and socialize to meet new people now that he’s under those strict guidelines. I have always been popular and have many friends back home, but I’m lonely and depressed now. I moved here because I love him, but I can’t get over the fact this has dampened our first year as husband and wife. How should I handle the future of our marriage and our life here with all these unsettling issues he has put

me in? – Hurt Wife In Michigan Dear Hurt Wife: Unless your husband is under house arrest – which probation is not – he can socialize. He can make friends through work and look for volunteer opportunities if he has the time. Both will help him to make connections with constructive people. The same is true for you to help you connect with the community. I know this is a big adjustment for you, but in time you can both put this unfortunate chapter behind you. I wish you both a future filled with success. Dear Abby: Help. My husband won’t wear clothes. When our children were young, he walked around naked because he wanted to make sure they didn’t have the same hang-ups about nudity that he grew up with. (His father was ultra-conservative and uptight.)

My husband began wearing clothes again when the kids got older, but now they have all moved out and he has quit. He sits naked in his recliner to watch TV. The recliner is right next to the front door, and there’s only the storm door between him and the world. Abby, he literally strips all his clothes off to do the dishes. We live in a NEIGHBORHOOD. It’s not like we’re out in the country. If I say anything to him, he says I can go into a different room if I don’t like it. Is this normal? – Nudie’s Wife In

Florida Dear Nudie’s Wife: It appears to be normal for your husband. Some – not all – families are very relaxed about nudity. As long as your living room isn’t visible to the neighbors and you don’t have drop-in visitors, your husband is harming no one. If you don’t want to look at him, take him up on his suggestion.

STRAIGHT TALK

P.S. I hope you thank him for doing the dishes. Not all husbands are so helpful. Dear Abby: My daughter was a bridesmaid recently. The bride chose a designer dress that my daughter had to put a nonrefundable deposit on. A month later, the bride changed her mind about the color and canceled the order, so all six bridesmaids had to buy another dress. Am I wrong in thinking the bride should reimburse her bridesmaids for the first dress that she insisted they buy ASAP – the one she canceled without talking to any of them? –

Bridesmaid’s Mom In Elkhorn, Wis. Dear Bridesmaid’s Mom: Not in my book you aren’t. And shame on the bride for not volunteering to do so.

Rough road leads teen to Alcoholics Anonymous, sobriety Even as a very young girl, Terri was a scrapper. She got kicked out of grade school for defiance, temper tantrums and pushing other kids. Her teacher, the principal and the district psychologist agreed she was not controllable. She barely made it through her sophomore year in high school before leaving with a trail of incidences that convinced the district they all were better off with her elsewhere. Her mom and a series of stepdads/boyfriends had all been alcoholics. Several of them had been violent, but one in particular had been kind and tried his best to help. Even so, the chaos and

ing Provid s service 00 2,5 to over uals individ ar. e each y

disorganization required Terri at 8 years old to be feeding and caring for her two younger sisters. By age 10 she had primary responsibility for them. She was her mother’s mother, her sister’s mother and family protector – a role far too large and demanding for a child. By her early teens and with great guilt at leaving her two younger sisters behind, Terri hit the streets. Drugs, alcohol and criminal activity became her passion and profession: burglary for food money, breaking and entering for a warm place to stay, junkies and alcoholics for friends. Loaded with hurt and anger at the world, Terri’s

life became one big fight: a fight to survive, a fight to get high, a fight to prove herself worthy. Her name was well-known by the local law enforcement community. She had spent quite a few nights, sometimes on purpose, in various jails and shelters. People from various churches and social organizations had tried to help, but it was like trying to reason with a hungry wolverine. The only organization she would have anything to do with was the AA group, and that was only because they had free coffee. She did, however talk occasionally to a couple of rough-looking older guys who

were always kind and encouraging, who didn’t care why she came back as long as she did and who had a modicum of credibility with her as they seemed to have had as rough a road as she did. Although in the early days, she did not stop using alcohol, she did continue to go to that first group. It took nearly a year of “in and out” before she finally made the commitment to stop and found her first sponsor, oddly, a woman who appeared to be her exact opposite. She looked kindly, almost grandmotherly, but her appearance belied a tough-as-nails interior that Terri didn’t find out about until it was too

late to turn back. Sponsoring Terri, her sponsor would say later, was like taming a wild pony; it took lots of love and a firm hand. Terri has been sober for 14 years, is married and has two daughters. She finished high school and, with her sponsor’s encouragement, got a college degree. Terri credits her life to her sponsor’s love and tolerance and to the two old guys who didn’t judge her. She would tell you she learned to trust, to give and accept love and to stop fighting everyone and everything.

ARTIST AND A MARINE STORY BY JAMI KUNZER •- JKUNZER@SHAWMEDIA.COM PHOTOS BY MONICA MASCHAK-• MMASCHAK@SHAWMEDIA.COM

Jade Judd notices a rip in a skirt as she ties it onto a mannequin. With her first fashion show the next day, Judd still had a lot of finishing touches to make.

D-C GRAD DEBUTS HER FASHION LINE BEFORE LEAVING FOR BASIC TRAINING recent fashion show in Chicago allowed 19-year-old Jade Judd to express the artist inside of her. Now it’s time for her to focus on a new chapter – becoming a U.S. Marine. “I can protect the world and make it prettier,” she said. A 2011 graduate of DundeeCrown High School, Judd designed and created her own fashion line. Her “Heaven-To-Toe Fantasy Costumes” were part of a show Friday at Metro in Chicago. The show, “Nocturna,” is an alternative dance night held once a month in Chicago, which also occasionally features a fashion show. Under the stage name Jade Wyzzard, she displayed 10 different outfits, including her own – all featuring unique, elaborate styles only she can really describe. “And they’re everywhere,” she said as she pointed out her creations in her Sleepy Hollow home days before the show. They’ve taken over the upstairs, her “office” filled with a sewing machine, Serger, glue gun, jewelry, fabric, all sorts of materials and her pet Blue-tongued Skink lizard Gene Wilder. “I have a mermaid, a fairy, an evil witch,” she said. “It’s very imaginative, beautiful, goddess-like, glamorous and feminine.” She held up a flowing dress with pink and white ruffles, her Rococo Cake dress, inspired by the 18th century Rococo artistic movement and style of lavishness and elaborate ornamentation. And named “Cake,” because, “It kind of reminds me of a cake,” she said pointing to the dress’s fluffy bottom layers. She makes outfits simply by designing what

she likes, inspired by historic artists and works, such as “Medee,” an 1898 painting by Czech artist Alphonse Mucha. “I’m not sure what kind of person would want to war that out, but I probably would,” she said of her creations. Artistic from a young age, Judd learned to sew as a child. She draws, paints, sculpts, does pretty much anything and everything creative, including building and painting a doll. After high school, she pursued an interest in fashion design at the Illinois Institute of Art in Chicago, but the college didn’t really work out for Judd both for personal and financial reasons. So she found herself walking into a Marine Corp recruiting office. “It just kind of clicked,” she said. “Being an artist, I have an adventurous spirit, which has lead me to this milestone,” she said. “I know a lot of people wouldn’t have thought that the Marines is something I’d do. ... I really want to work for my school. I want to do something honorable. If I’m going to be an artist, I can serve my country.” She heads March 18 to Paris Island, N.C., for boot camp and basic training, with plans to eventually become a cook for the U.S. Marine Corp. It’s a decision that both surprised and pleased her father, Jeff Judd of Algonquin. He knows she could be put in harm’s way, but as a Christian, he said he also knows God is taking care of her. “It’s probably one of the proudest things a person could do,” he said. “It’s interesting because she has these amazing artistic abilities and she wants to be independent. ... God bless her. Instead of just wasting a ton of dough trying to figure it out, she chose a path to give her a sense of independence. “What a beautiful sentiment.”

I want to buy a Gemstone ring and was thinking of Tanzanite because I love the color. Would this be a good choice? Is there anything special I need to know about it? Tanzanite is violet blue in color when you see it in the stores. However it is an unattractive brown color when it comes out of the ground. The stone turns violet blue during routine heat treatments. Tanzanite comes from the mineral Zoisite. It is a 6-7 out of 10 for hardness. It’s toughness is fairly poor so it should be worn with care because it can scratch easily. A gentle cleaning with a mild jewelry cleaner will keep the stone looking nice. Tanzanite only comes from one place in the world and that is Tanzania. According to a legendary tale, in 1967 a Masai tribesman stumbled upon the stone after lightning struck a cluster of stones at the base of Mt. Kilimanjaro. Word of the discovery eventually reached New York jewelers Tiffany & Co. They debuted it to the world in 1968 and it has been a popular gemstone ever since. Like all gemstones they should be worn with care and have their settings professionally checked and cleaned every 6 months. Steffan’s offers that service complimentary, while you wait. Stop in to see the different color intensities that are available.

On screen now “Beautiful Creatures” HHH STARRING: alice englert, viola Davis, emma thompson, alden ehrenreich PLOT: ethan longs to escape his small Southern town. he meets a mysterious new girl, lena. together, they uncover dark secrets about their respective families, their history and their town. RATING: PG-13 for violence, scary images and some sexual material TIME: 2 hours, 3 minutes VERDICT: the genders have been reversed but the supernatural, starcrossed teen angst remains irmly intact in this drama that clearly aims to pick up where the “twilight” franchise left off. writer-director richard laGravenese’s ilm, based on the irst novel in the young adult series by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl, oozes Southern Gothic eccentricity and some amusing if inconsistent touches of camp. But a strong cast of likable and, yes, beautiful actors can only do so much with the formula in which they’re forced to work. and, like the “twilight” movies, the special effects are all too often distractingly cheesy. the setup breathes some new life into such familiar material, though, as co-stars alden ehrenreich and alice englert feel like actual awkward teens enjoying the fraught thrills of irst love. once the plot machinations start grinding in the second half, though, “Beautiful creatures” as a whole grinds to a halt. Spells and scenerychewing can be a hoot; watching other people sitting around scouring ancient tomes for clues, not so much. ehrenreich plays a restless teen in small-town South carolina who’s smitten by englert’s mysterious new girl. turns out she’s a witch – and she’s probably doomed – but could true love with a mortal save her? emma thompson, emmy rossum and viola Davis co-star. PG-13 for violence, scary images and some sexual material. 123 minutes. two stars out of four.. – christy lemire,

RATING: r for pervasive language, some sexual content and violence TIME: 1 hour, 49 minutes VERDICT: although set in present-day New York, this is a throwback to the classic hard-boiled detective stories of raymond chandler and Dashiel hammett. the look of the ilm is competent, and the performances are strong. Unfortunately, director allen hughes (making his irst feature without his brother albert) and writer Brian tucker just take the detective genre’s clichés and put them in modern dress. a complicated plot is expected, but the script has enough double crosses and hidden motives to push it past riveting to absurd. – Jeffrey westhoff, the

“Gangster Squad” H½ STARRING: Sean Penn, ryan Gosling, emma Stone PLOT: a chronicle of the laPD’s ight to keep east coast Maia types out of los angeles in the 1940s and ’50s. RATING: r for strong violence and language TIME: 1 hour, 53 minutes

VERDICT: “Gangster Squad,” a pulpy, violent tale of cops and mobsters in 1949 los angeles, rides an uncomfortable line between outlandishness and outright parody, and it’s dificult to tell which is director ruben Fleischer’s intention. which is a problem. while the ilm wallows in period detail and has some sporadic moments of amusing banter, it’s mostly lashy, empty and cacophonous, and it woefully wastes a strong cast led by Josh Brolin, ryan Gosling and emma Stone in barely developed, one-note roles. at its center is a performance from Sean Penn as mob king Mickey cohen. with his mashed-up boxer’s mug, thick Brooklyn accent and volatile bursts of anger, he’s as cartoony as a Dick tracy villain.

RATING: r for violence and language TIME: 1 hour, 37 minutes VERDICT: it’s supposed to be a parody of itself, right? that’s the only way to explain this ridiculously over-the-top, repetitively numbing ifth ilm in the “Die hard” franchise. John Mcclane used to be a cowboy. Now, he’s a cartoon character – speciically, wile e. coyote, given how many times he should be seriously injured and/ or killed in this movie. the most he suffers is a scratch here and there, and then he’s ready to pop back up again with a bemused twinkle in his eye and a wry quip. Part of the charm of this career-deining Bruce willis’ character was the regularguy, reagan-era resourcefulness he represented; now, he’s weirdly superhuman. But as charismatic as willis ordinarily is, even he can’t fool us into thinking he’s enjoying himself this time. “a Good Day to Die hard” is pointless and joyless, a barrage of noise and chaos, an onslaught of destruction without the slightest

mention of consequence. Director John Moore mistakes shaky-cam and dizzying zooms for artistic inesse in his action sequences. But the most obnoxious element of all may be the father-son feel-goodery that occurs in the midst of all this madness. You see, willis’ unstoppable New York cop has traveled to Moscow to track down his bitter, estranged son, Jack (Jai courtney), whom he believes to be in criminal trouble. Jack is actually a spy working undercover to protect a government whistleblower (Sebastian Koch), and dad has arrived just in time to ruin his mission. Now they must work together – and bond. – christy lemire, the associ-

“The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey” HHH

PLOT: when a Denver businessman (Bateman) discovers that a Florida woman has stolen his identity and destroyed his credit record, he travels to the Sunshine State to confront her. RATING: r for sexual content and language TIME: 1 hour, 52 minutes 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 ind ways to be funny and charming.

STARRING: Martin Freeman, ian McKellen, richard armitage, andy Serkis PLOT: the hobbit Bilbo Baggins (Freeman) joins Gandalf the wizard (McKellen) and a company of 13 dwarves in a quest to reclaim the dwarves’ homeland from an invading dragon. they encounter monstrous obstacles in the irst leg of their journey. RATING: PG-13 for frightening images and extended sequences of intense fantasy action and violence TIME: 2 hours, 49 minutes VERDICT: From the opening frames we are back in Peter Jackson’s Middle earth, and it’s a comfortable place to be. So comfortable, it is easy to overlook many of the ilm’s laws. the idea that Jackson would turn J.r.r. tolkien’s slim children’s novel into a three-ilm epic is nuts, but the irst of these ilms is entertaining enough, even when the padding shows in a narrative nearly three hours long. Bilbo’s encounter with Gollum (andy Serkis) is a showstopper. avoid seeing the 3-D version shown at 48 frames per second, because it makes an expensive movie look as cheap as a 1970s BBc production. – Jeffrey

“Identity Thief” HH STARRING: Jason Bateman, Melissa Mccarthy, amanda Peet, robert Patrick

“The Last Stand” HHH 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. RATING: r for strong, bloody violence throughout and language TIME: 1 hour, 47 minutes VERDICT: ”the last Stand” is the arnold Schwarzenegger movie you didn’t even realize you wanted to see. this is the action superstar’s irst 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 ilmmaking debut turns out to be an extremely Schwarzeneggerish Schwarzenegger ilm, 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 ires 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

“Les Misérables” HH½ STARRING: Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe, Anne Hathaway, Amanda Seyfried PLOT: Years after ex-prisoner Jean Valjean (Jackman) breaks his parole to become a virtuous man, fanatical policeman Javert (Crowe) continues to hunt him. While avoiding Javert, Valjean helps a dying prostitute (Hathaway) and, years later, her daughter (Seyfried). RATING: PG-13 for suggestive and sexual material, violence and thematic elements TIME: 2 hours, 37 minutes VERDICT: Director Tom Hooper’s interpretation of the blockbuster stage show is a musical in close-up. With his actors singing their roles “live,” Hooper can push his camera’s right into their faces. This is riveting for the first hour, then becomes repetitive. Jackman, Crowe and Hathaway are electrifying. This film was made for fans of the stage show. Others who don’t know the story going in will be lucky if they know it going out. – Jeffrey Westhoff,

“Safe Haven” HH STARRING: Julianne Hough, Josh Duhamel, Cobie Smulders PLOT: A young woman with a mysterious past lands in Southport, N.C., where her bond with a widower forces her to confront the dark secret that haunts her. RATING: PG-13 for thematic material involving threatening behavior, and for violence and sexuality TIME: 1 hour, 55 minutes VERDICT: It’s easy to understand why Hollywood loves doing business with author Nicholas Sparks. His books are huge best-sellers, and several of the films adapted from his novels – “Message in a Bottle,” ‘’The Notebook,” and “Dear John” – have achieved impressive box office grosses. The latest Sparks adaptation, “Safe Haven,” will probably continue his winning streak, especially with its Valentine’s Day opening pegged to lure female fans. A thriller element that has not been present in earlier Sparks movies is designed to draw reluctant male viewers to see the picture, but they won’t respond with the same enthusiasm as his core audience of woozy romantics. The first problem with the film is the burgeoning romance is too flat to

Local showtimes generate intense audience empathy. Alex’s daughter, who barely remembers her mother, warms to Katie immediately, but her older brother has a harder time with his father’s new relationship. Still, this complication isn’t especially well developed in the screenplay by Dana Stevens and Gage Lansky. A related problem is the casting. The best Sparks movie, “The Notebook,” had the strongest cast, with talented newcomers Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams. To put it as charitably as possible, the actors in “Safe Haven” are not in the same league. – By Stephen Farber, The

Hollywood Reporter •••••••

“Side Effects” HHH 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. RATING: R for sexuality, nudity, violence and language TIME: 1 hour, 46 minutes 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 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 Associated Press •••••••

“Warm Bodies” HHH 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 zombiehating leader of the local militia. RATING: PG-13 for zombie violence and some language TIME: 1 hour, 37 minutes 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

Westhoff, Northwest Herald •••••••

“Zero Dark Thirty” HHH½ STARRING: Jessica Chastain, Jason Clarke, Jennifer Ehle, James Gandolfini PLOT: A CIA officer (Chastain) leads an eight-year hunt for Osama bin Laden, which climaxes with a daring nighttime raid in Pakistan. RATING: R for language and strong violence including brutal disturbing images TIME: 2 hours, 37 minutes VERDICT: Much like her Oscar-winning “The Hurt Locker,” director Kathryn Bigelow’s account of the CIA’s search for Osama bin Laden is compelling filmmaking that can be difficult to watch at times, as it should be. Bigelow and screenwriter Mark Boal (who also wrote “Hurt Locker”) have been criticized for glamorizing torture. While they do not glamorize it (the torture scenes are horrifying), they should have been more critical of it rather than present it as a necessary evil. That said, this still is a hypnotic procedural that chronicles nearly a decade of frustrations and setbacks before the Navy SEALs’ celebrated raid on bin Laden’s compound. Chastain is dynamite as the flinty professional who remains focused on her mission even as her superiors begin to give up. Even though we know the outcome, the story is charged with suspense. – Jeffrey Westhoff,

By BECKY KRYSTAL The Washington Post The romance. The intrigue. The big, beautiful country house. We can analyze the recipe for success of “Downton Abbey,” the British television import whose Season 3 finale airs at 8 p.m. tonight on PBS, until our cups of tea go cold. But one element that can’t be overlooked, especially for those of a culinary bent, is the food. Rather than letting it serve as mere eye candy, creator and writer Julian Fellowes has worked crepes, puddings, roast chicken and other edible props into some of the series’ most memorable plots. Who can forget Mrs. Patmore’s disastrously salty raspberry meringue pudding? How many fans fell hook, line and sinker for the implication that Branson the chauffeur would off the famous British general with a poison-laden soup? The lavish spreads enjoyed by the aristocratic Crawley family in early20th-century England are enough to inspire envy in those who might be watching with a microwave dinner in their laps. The show has revived an interest in British food, particularly that of the 1910s and 1920s, that could easily fall prey to stereotypes: Aspic! Haggis! Puddings! Instead, viewers have embraced the comestibles they’ve seen on the small screen, with spinoffs including Pinterest boards, blogs and a recently

• DOWNTON Continued from page 20 With a cast that also includes Michelle Dockery, Elizabeth McGovern, Dan Stevens, Jim Carter and Brendan Coyle, the series this season has drawn an average 11 million viewers each week while spurring another surge of “Downton”-mania, even from first lady Michelle Obama, who pulled strings to get episodes of the new season before it premiered. “Downton” has even been parsed for its political underpinnings. Last month, Fox News host (and native Brit) Stuart Varney declared that “Downton” celebrates rich people, who “in America today are reviled. They’re dismissed as fat cats who don’t pay their fair share.” Yet on “Downton” the rich

released unofficial cookbook. “Because they love the show, it makes them more interested in the history of the food that was on the show,” said Pamela Foster, a Toronto marketing professional who has put her history degree to good use on her Downton Abbey Cooks blog. “It’s sort of a teaching point to connect people to history.” There’s no getting around the fact that there were lots of jellied molds, some of which were very attractive, and, we dare say, tasty. The cuisine received an extra surge of elegance thanks to the influence of King Edward VII, who had an affinity for French food. “He loved a good time and a good laugh and a good meal,” says Foster, who just released a self-published ecookbook, “Abbey Cooks Entertain,” with plenty of dishes inspired by France. Even without today’s technology, “they produced absolutely beautiful food, beautifully set up.”

people are “generous,” “nice,” “classy” and “they’ve got style,” he said, “which poses a threat to the left, doesn’t it?” It is rare when public television is accused of threatening left-wing orthodoxy. But “Downton” has a way of engaging people, both the 99 percent and the 1 percent alike. And, yes, as the wealthy, patriarchal Lord Grantham, Bonneville does indeed exude classiness and, at crucial moments, generosity. But that’s not the whole picture. Robert Crawley is also confounded by the modern world of post-World War I as it upsets the social hierarchy. Meanwhile, despite his indulgence of underbutler Thomas Barrow’s shame (it seems Thomas is gay!), Robert isn’t always the most tolerant of men. “I don’t want thumbscrews

or the rack, but there always seems to be something of Johnny Foreigner about the Catholics,” he sniffs to one of his kind during an exchange about religion. “I don’t think I’d have a huge amount in common with Robert if I met him at a dinner party,” Bonneville says. “But I like the guy. I like the fact that while he does bluster and he’s pompous sometimes, and he makes mistakes, there’s a decency and a love for his family underneath it all.” Impeccably clad in a threepiece gray suit and pink tie for this recent interview, the 49-year-old Bonneville, even firmly planted in a 21st-century Manhattan hotel, looks to the manor born. Nonetheless, he brands himself a member of the British middle class – the son of a surgeon and a nurse who once imagined

becoming a lawyer – and his roles have strayed some distance from the lofty likes of Robert Crawley. For instance, Bonneville has been affable and bumbling in “Notting Hill” and “Mansfield Park,” and downright villainous in “The Commander.” Of course, Bonneville realizes “Downton” is a good bet for the lead citation in his obituary. He has finally acknowledged it: This show is a cultural phenomenon, not just a fleeting fad. And he has many theories why. First, the savory writing by series creator Julian Fellowes. Besides, the cast is splendid. The production values are luxurious. And the premise remains rich with possibility. “This is one of the few settings, alongside a hospital and a police station, where you can legitimately find a

– The Washington Post real cross-section of society under one roof,” notes Bonneville. “But underneath it all, this series is about romance rather than sex, it’s about tension rather than violence, and it’s about family – both the literal family and the staff as family. It explores the minutiae of those social structures, the nuances of the system as to whether someone’s in or out.” Not that he would want to be part of it. He doesn’t sentimentalize that long-ago era any more than “Downton” does. And yet ... “These days,” says Bonneville, “we have relationships that are forged, consummated and brought to an end within 24 hours. Back then, the pace of life was slower, and I think we like to breathe out and enjoy that world – albeit for only an hour or so, on a Sunday night.”

BRINGING DOWN THE HOUSE Hugh Bonneville presides on ‘Downton Abbey’ finale By FRAZIER MOORE The Associated Press

he third season of “Downton Abbey” ends this Sunday with a bang. Exactly what that bang is, we’re not going to say, in deference to the maybe half-dozen “Downton” fans who still don’t know the shocking truth. The larger point remains that after today’s “Masterpiece Classic” (airing at 8 p.m. on PBS), viewers must suffer “Downton” withdrawal until next season. But until then, we’ll have our memories. And what a season this has been! The beloved valet Mr. Bates was sprung from jail and a trumped-up murder charge to begin married life with his bride, the plucky lady’s maid Anna. Robert Crawley, Earl of Grantham, has gotten Downton Abbey back on its feet financially with an able assist from his son-in-law and presumptive heir, Matthew Crawley. Matthew wed his true love, Lady Mary Crawley. But another of Robert’s daughters, Lady Sybil, died tragically during childbirth. Through it all, Robert’s mother Violet, Dowager Countess of Grantham (played by the sublimely scene-stealing, Emmy- and Golden-Globe-winning Maggie Smith) delivered a barrage of withering, hilarious rejoinders to virtually every narrative twist. “I remember my very first scene with her in Season One,” says Hugh Bonneville, who plays Robert, lord of the manor. “She’s complaining about the new electric lights, and suddenly she put her fan up to her face to shield herself from ‘the glare,’ and spent the entire scene like that. It was so funny, and I was just, ‘All right! There’s no point in my even being here. She’s just marched off with the scene!’ ” Now, as then, “Downton” is a plush, penetrating peek into the lives of the aristocratic Crawley family and their household servants in an English castle of a century ago.

DOWN FOR THE COUNTESS

INSIDE

Millions of people have watched fan-favorite Maggie Smith on “Downton Abbey.” But she’s not one of them. The 78-year-old actress, who portrays Dowager Countess of Grantham, hasn’t watched the drama because doing so would only make her agonize over her performance. She said she may watch it someday. Smith has three Oscars, two Emmys and a Tony Award, but said the “Downton Abbey” role has given her more public recognition than anything in her career.
