Budget error blamed for $1.27M overestimate By CHELSEA McDOUGALL

if you go n What: McHenry County College Committee of the Whole n When: 6 p.m. Tuesday n Where: Board Room (A217) at the College, 8900 Route 14, Crystal Lake

cmcdougall@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – McHenry County College likely will raise tuition to make up for budget shortfalls, falling revenue and more than $1 million that was underbudgeted. The board will discuss an increase Tuesday at its Committee of the Whole meeting. During the budgeting process, an error overestimated the amount the college would collect in local property taxes by $1.27 million. “It was an oversight,” MCC President Vicky Smith said The budget did not factor in PTELL limitations. The Property Tax Extension Limitation Law limits the amount taxing bodies can collect at the Consumer Price Index. Instead, the budget used the college’s levy request, although the college never anticipated it would get the full amount. Other revenue shortfalls mean the college has a $1.4 million deficit, which is made up by the college’s reserve funds. The college’s total operating fund budget is $55.1 million, of which property taxes provide the biggest revenue source. It will consider raising tuition to bridge the gap, and it must do so before summer registration begins in March.

Carolyn Larson, 22, an intern at Centegra Hospital – McHenry, interacts with co-worker Ryan Tessema in their office Friday. Larson will earn her public health degree from Northern Illinois University when she graduates in May.

Internships an invaluable experience for students, businesses By LAWERENCE SYNETT lsynett@shawmedia.com

ach day at Centegra Hospital – McHenry is a new adventure for Carolyn Larson – and that’s just the way she likes it. The Northern Illinois University senior is an intern in the nursing administration office at the hospital, her final step in earning a bachelor’s degree this spring in public health with an emphasis on health administration.

The Richmond resident and Prairie Ridge High School graduate is one of a growing number of students who intern, according to two recent studies by the National Association of Colleges and Employees. The ventures give graduates a leg up when finding employment and keeping a job. Larson will complete 360 hours of unpaid training as an intern thanks to a partnership between Centegra Health

GOP opponents of Hagel nomination say vote should go on By DARLENE SUPERVILLE The Associated Press PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. – Republican opponents of former Sen. Chuck Hagel’s stalled bid to become defense secretary said Sunday that they’ll probably allow his Senate confirmation vote to proceed unless material more damaging to the nominee – and, by extension, the Obama administration – surfaces in the coming week. Critics said the decorated

Vietnam combat veteran is a “radical” unqualified to lead the U.S. military. A top White House official expressed “grave concern” over the delayed confirmation vote, adding that there was nothing to worry about in any disclosures that may yet come. “No, I don’t believe he’s qualified,” Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., said of his fellow Republican and former Senate colleague. “But I don’t believe that we should hold up his nomination any further,

LOOKING FORWARD

because I think it’s [been] a reasonable amount of time to have questions answered.” McCain and other Republicans have angered President Barack Obama by delaying him from rounding out his second-term national security team, which includes Hagel and John Brennan, the White House counterterrorism adviser who is awaiting confirmation to become CIA director. Former Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry assumed his post as secretary of state at the

beginning of February. Critics contend that Hagel, who snubbed McCain by staying neutral in the 2008 presidential race between McCain and Obama, isn’t supportive enough of U.S. ally Israel and is unreasonably sympathetic to Iran, which has defied international pressure to halt its pursuit of material that could be used to make nuclear weapons. Hagel’s nomination also

Scotland told The Associated Press on Friday that the woman bit the intruder when he put his hand over her mouth. He then fled. He said the woman was treated at a hospital and that police still are looking for the intruder. The incident occurred early Thursday in the northwest part of Grand Cayman.

8WATER COOLER JERUSALEM – After an Israeli newspaper’s scoop, the country’s prime minister has “frozen” his annual ice cream budget. Benjamin Netanyahu’s office Sunday said once he was made aware of the statefinanced contract issued to purchase ice cream from his favorite Jerusalem parlor he ordered it stopped immediately. Netanyahu called the contract “excessive and unacceptable.” The Israel economic publication “Calcalist” published a list of items on the prime minister’s annual expense budget, including $2,700 for ice cream. After the publication, Israelis flocked to the “Metudela” ice cream shop near the prime minister’s residence to check out his alleged favorite flavors: pistachio and vanilla. The prime minister’s office said the cost included hosting high-ranking officials at the official residence. Still, it offered a rare peek into the personal life of the private Netanyahu.

Hebron ‘icon’ nears 100

George Lindberg Retired Senior Judge George Lindberg of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois did a lot in his more than 34 years on the bench. The lifelong Crystal Lake resident met his wife of more than 48 years and made stops in the Illinois House, Illinois Comptroller’s Office, Illinois Attorney General’s Office and Illinois Appellate Court’s Second District. Lindberg’s love for all that is political and criminal came after he earned a bachelor’s degree in liberal arts and biological science while attending law school at Northwestern in the mid1950s. A summer job landed him at John E. Reid & Associates Inc. in Chicago, where Lindberg became fascinated with criminal interrogation techniques, in particular the polygraph. He later traveled around the world as a specialist introducing the polygraph to authorities before moving into the political realm, representing McHenry and Lake counties in the Statehouse for three terms. Next came a stint as comptroller, which at the time was the first new elective office in Illinois in 100 years. Then he served as the state’s deputy attorney general before being elected to the Illinois Appellate Court. The 80-year-old recently spoke with reporter Lawerence Synett about his long career, accomplishments and love of the polygraph.

Synett: What got you interested in politics and criminal law? Lindberg: While I was a

polygraph examiner in the mid-1960s, we did some lobbying down in Springfield. I thought it was all very interesting and decided I would run for the House of Representatives. In those days, we had cumulative voting and candidates would push for the bullet vote. Even though I was from the minority county, I won by focusing on that.

Synett: Why the polygraph? Lindberg: I was intrigued. When I got the summer job in 1955 at John E. Reid & Associates, it was the most exciting time of my life. I got to work on things like the Our Lady of Angels School fire in 1958 and the murder of Valerie Percy in 1966. It was such a unique experience. The people I met and the discipline I learned prepared me for the future.

Synett: How would you sum up your time in the House of Representatives? Lindberg: The most satisfying was the Constitutional Convention of 1969, when I was asked to speak on several issues I thought strongly about. I was the chief sponsor of the Illinois

Lifelong Crystal Lake resident n Did what in college? Learned about the polygraph while studying criminal law n Nickname while on the bench? “Mr. Ethics” n Favorite thing to do while retired? Read the newspaper Governmental Ethics Act, which requires annual disclosure of economic interests by public officials and candidates for office. I also chaired a committee to investigate the judiciary.

Synett: What then piqued your interest in becoming the state comptroller? Lindberg: At that time, the position replaced the auditor of public accounts, and the mandate was to bring Illinois’ financial

process into the modern age. We were able to come up with a monetary fiscal model for Illinois that predicted 18 months out what the position of the state would be. I’ll never forget when then-Gov. Dan Walker proposed a billion-dollar bond issue to pay for dayto-day expenses. We were able to show them the effect it would have, and the program was killed.

Synett: Next came two years as deputy attorney general then the Illinois Appellate Court – what was that like? Lindberg: Being assistant attorney general gave me an opportunity to argue in front of the Supreme Court on public aid issues. It was a thrill. The appellate court in Elgin allowed me to work close to home, which was very convenient. Through the good offices of the late Henry Hyde, my name was suggested to President George H.W. Bush, and he nominated me for federal court.

By EMILY K. COLEMAN ecoleman@shawmedia.com HEBRON – Ethel Popenhagen should be back on her porch swing this spring. The longtime Hebron resident, who is turning 100 on Wednesday, has been an icon in the community since her family moved to the small northern Illinois town when she was 13 years old, several friends and neighbors said. It seemed as if the whole community turned out for her birthday party Sunday at the Hebron United Methodist Church, said one of her daughters, Bonnie Seeberg of Pardeeville, Wis. “We’ve had bank people. We’ve had post office people. We’ve had school people,” Seeberg said looking at her mother while yet another person leaned down to speak into Popenhagen’s good ear. Popenhagen has attended all the music recitals, said Thomas Tufo, a piano and voice instructor in Hebron. She read books to the children in school and would play basketball with them, said Grace Eskridge, who has lived in Hebron for 22 years. She’s been a member of the American Legion Auxiliary for more than 80 years, Seeberg said. She’s also been an active member of Hebron United Methodist Church since 1927. Until about four years ago, Popenhagen attended every sporting event in the small community, too. It was a tradition that started when Popenhagen was 62 and too young to qualify for free entry. She persuaded the school to lower the age so that she could drive a group of her friends – all of them 65 or older – to the games. (Before her retirement at 62, Popenhagen had learned how

While she is known for her quick and sassy comebacks, she struck a serious note when the potluck came to an end. “I’m grateful that I am still able to enjoy life to a certain degree,” she said. “It seems as if you manage to disregard some of the things that happen and think of them as slight obstacles along the way. “I never dreamed that I would make it to now, that I would be in my church and the church fixed as beautiful.” Popenhagen isn’t as active as she used to be, and she’s temporarily living at the Golden Years of Walworth, Wis., but her family expects her back in her 1920 mail-order Sears, Roebuck and Co. home, sitting on her porch swing.

Helping 126 Homeowners by “Giving Away” *$1,829 Furnaces for $829 with Off-Season Central Air... (This is great ﬁnancial news if your furnace is over 12 years old) Dear Neighbor: This is great news for your wallet if your furnace is over 12 years old. Because, yes, it’s absolutely true... you can actually replace your old (and probably very inefﬁcient) gas furnace and air conditioner as a package for $1,000 less than you would have to pay at any other time. Please allow me to explain... Every year, the months of January, February, and March can “destroy” my business. I end up losing a ton of money during these “business destroyer” months and it can take me the remaining nine months to make up for them. I’m looking for the same thing to happen this year. That is why...

My Problem Is An Excellent Opportunity For You I employ great people and I want to keep them working during these long hard months. That is why I’ve decided to give up trying to make a proﬁt during the “business destroyer” months. If I can only minimize my losses during January, February, and March, I will come out ahead of the other nine months. Here’s how this (admittedly daring) offer came about. I have analyzed my business and determined the air conditioners and gas furnaces in the most popular sizes used in our area. I am willing to take a huge risk and obligate to sell 126 brand new matched systems before the end of March. They are brand new 2012 and 2013 models and they are NOT the seconds or “blems”.

Ron Magrini I’m betting that if I make you an Owner offer that is “irrestible” (at least it should be if your gas furnace or air conditioner is over 12 years old) and I barely mark it up above the price I paid, I will accomplish two things: 1. I can pay my professional staff to work instead of sending them home. 2. I will cover my rent, utilities, insurance and taxes in the “business destroyer” months. If I can accomplish these two objectives, I will minimize my losses and the rest of the year, I can be a winner.

with Edward G. Dolezal, M.D. IMPROVING ON EXCELLENT SUCCESS Even though cataract surgery is one of the most common and well-perfected surgeries, with extremely high success rates and few risks and side effects, ophthalmologists have been improving on the procedure’s near 95% patient satisfaction rate. Owing to a procedural improvement first adopted in the mid-1980s called “phacoemulsification extraction,”the risk or retinal detachment has dropped to 0.25%, according to a recent comparison of data. Phacomulsification extraction involves the use of an ultrasonic device to break up the clouded lens. This greatly reduces the risk of retinal detachment, the most serious potential complication. Cataract patients have every reason to have positive expectations. The lens of the eye is mostly made of water and protein. As we age, some of the protein may clump together and cloud an area of the lens. This is a cataract. You don’t need to compromise your activities because you have cataracts. Please call CRYSTAL LAKE OPHTHALMOLOGY at 815-455-4222 to schedule an eye health exam. We use the latest technological advances to screen for cataracts and perform the latest microsurgical cataract treatments. Our office is located at 280-A Memorial Court. P.S. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that more than 17% of Americans over the age of forty are living with cataracts.

3-way race for village president By EMILY K. COLEMAN ecoleman@shawmedia.com LAKEMOOR – After being kicked off the ballot in her re-election bid, Lakemoor Trustee Kimberly Beach has decided to run for village president. Beach is the only person from Lakemoor to file a notice of intent to run as a write-in candidate before the Feb. 7 deadline. “I never wanted to stop working for the village,” she said. “Let the people decide if I should step aside.” Originally intending to run for another term as village trustee, Beach was one of six candidates to file nominating petitions in December. But the Lakemoor Electoral Board ruled Feb. 2 that she did not have enough signatures and could not appear on the April ballot. A second candidate for Lakemoor Village Board, Joseph Enright, also was kicked of the ballot Thursday. Enright cannot pursue a write-in candidacy because the deadline has passed. Both Beach and Enright were one signature shy of the minimum allowed, according to the Electoral Board’s notices of findings.

Candidates were required to file petitions with the signatures of at least 50 people who are Lakemoor residents and registered voters. Both objections were filed by Trustee Colin McIntyre. The decision leaves four candidates, including McIntyre, for the three open trustee seats. Beach joins incumbent Todd Weihofen and Tina Asmus in the race for village president. Beach’s top priority will be the economy and bringing jobs to Lakemoor, she said, adding that her focus would be on mom and pop stores and chains. “That has to stay the focus,” Beach said. “Families want convenience. I want convenience. I have to drive to Fox Lake or McHenry to get anything.” She also would work to bring in new ideas, adding that she was disappointed about the decision about Enright’s candidacy. “He would have been a new guy coming on with new ideas, fresh ideas,” she said. “It would have been an asset for the village.” Beach, a resident of Lakemoor for about 15 years, has been on the Village Board since 2005.

A High Rate of Success

You might ot be able to play golf, work, or eve sit i the car for a 30-mi ute drive. It’s almost impossible for a yo e arou d you to u dersta d how you feel. You ca ’t remember the last time you eve had a restful ight’s sleep.

This mea s i just a matter of weeks you could be back o the golf course, e joyi g your love life, or traveli g agai .

Do You Have A y of the Followi g?

It’s time for you to fi d out if spi al decompressio will be your sciatic pai solutio . The First Seve Callers will receive everythi g listed below for $47. $25. I usually charge $257 for these services!

•Sharp pai s i the back of the leg •Lower Back Pai •Her iated/bulgi g discs •Numb ess i your arms or legs •Shooti g hip or thigh pai •Muscle spasm, sprai s & strai s

If you’ve suffered from a y of these a co ditio s, you may have “Sciatica”.

oyi g

Sciatica is a compressio of the sciatic erve, usually by a L4 or L5 disc her iatio . Discs act like a cushio betwee our backbo es a d allow for a space at each level so the erves ca exit the spi al colum . Scie tific studies tell us that spi al discs are respo sible for most of the aches a d pai s from which people suffer. Whe these discs get i jured or wear out from bad posture or old i juries, they begi to dege erate a d cause pai . Bulgi g a d her iatio s begi to form, pressi g o the erve roots. If the her iatio s occur at L4-L5, they ca severely compromise the large sciatic erve, causi g muscle weak ess, ti gli g, a d severe pai . U fortu ately, ma y people thi k back surgery is the o ly way to fix sciatica a d disc problems. But here’s the problem... there is a high failure rate of back surgery. O e medical study fou d that, o average, 53% of L5-S1 back surgeries fail to produce relief of symptoms (Internat onal Orthop 1987.)

Your Drugless, No -Surgical Solutio Fortu ately, if you are sufferi g from a y of the problems listed above, they may be relieved or elimi ated by o -surgical spi al decompressio . No -surgical spi al decompressio is a tech ology that has bee prove to reverse disc her iatio s. It creates a vacuum effect o the disc, which pulls the disc back i to its ormal positio a d bri gs i a fresh blood supply to promote heali g. Spi al decompressio treatme ts are very ge tle. I fact, every o ce i a while I eve catch a patie t sleepi g duri g sessio s.

What Will Your Pai Feel Like 1 Mo th From Today? O e of the biggest myths about pai is that it goes away all by itself, without a y treatme t.

Seven kidnapped in Nigeria The ASSOCIATED PRESS BAUCHI, Nigeria – Gunmen attacked a camp for a construction company in rural northern Nigeria, killing a guard and kidnapping seven foreign workers from Britain, Greece, Italy, Lebanon and the Philippines, authorities said Sunday, in the biggest kidnapping yet in a region under attack by Islamic extremists. The attack Saturday night happened in Jama’are, a town in Bauchi state. There, the gunmen first attacked a local prison, burning two police trucks, Bauchi state police spokesman Hassan Muhammed told The Associated Press. The gunmen then targeted a workers’ camp for Lebanese construction company Setra-

co, which is building a road in the area, Muhammed said. The gunmen shot dead a guard at the camp before kidnapping the foreign workers, the spokesman said. “The gunmen came with explosives, which they used to break some areas,” Muhammed said. He did not elaborate and an AP journalist could not immediately reach the town, which is about 125 miles north of the state capital, Bauchi. One British citizen, one Greek, one Italian, three Lebanese and one Filipino were kidnapped, said Adamu Aliyu, the chairman of the local government area that encompasses Jama’are. He said one of the hostages was a woman, while the rest were men. He initially had said four of the hostages were Leba-

nese. He blamed the confusion on incorrect information he received from his staff. Italian news agency ANSA later said authorities confirmed an Italian had been kidnapped. It quoted Foreign Minister Giulio Terzi saying the safety of the hostage must be given “absolute priority.” Greece confirmed one of its citizens was abducted. A statement from Greece’s foreign ministry said authorities had a plane on standby to send investigators to Nigeria and that its foreign minister had been in contact with Terzi. “Two Greek police officers, liaisons in Greece’s Nigerian Embassy, are in contact with their colleagues of the countries involved and the Nigerian authorities,” the statement said.

Hutchinson exits race for Jackson’s U.S. House seat

the black-majority district.

CHICAGO – A well-known Illinois state senator dropped her bid Sunday for the U.S. House seat vacated by Jesse Jackson Jr., narrowing the field and consolidating key support behind another Democrat in a race where gun control has emerged as a central issue. State Sen. Toi Hutchinson, targeted in recent days by critical anti-gun campaign ads funded by New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s political action committee, said she was leaving the race and swinging her support to former state Rep. Robin Kelly. The major shake-up came with just nine days to go before the Feb. 26 primary. Hutchinson’s move reflected the sharp divisions over the gun control issue, but also appeared to be in line with efforts to consolidate support for one of the many black candidates in

Quinn urges taxpayers to file for tax credit CHICAGO – Gov. Pat Quinn wants taxpayers to take advantage of a newly expanded tax credit. The Illinois Earned Income Tax Credit provides low-income families with tax relief and an incentive to work. But the nonprofit Center for Economic Progress estimates between 10 to 20 percent of eligible taxpayers didn’t file for the credit last year. In an event at Truman College in Chicago on Saturday, Quinn said he wants to get the word out about how eligible people may apply for the tax relief. Families earning less than $50,000 annually and individuals making less than $25,000 may qualify for free tax preparation help at assistance centers across the state. A list of assistance centers

and other information about the tax credit is online at www. dhs.state.il.us or www.revenue. state.il.us.

Study: Better TV might improve kids’ behavior Data examine amount of time spent watching The ASSOCIATED PRESS SEATTLE – Teaching parents to switch channels from violent shows to educational TV can improve preschoolers’ behavior, even without getting them to watch less, a study found. The results were modest and faded over time, but may hold promise for finding ways to help young children avoid aggressive, violent behavior, the study authors and other doctors said. “It’s not just about turning off the television. It’s about changing the channel. What children watch is as important as how much they watch,” said lead author Dr. Dimitri Christakis, a University of Washington researcher and a pediatrician at Children’s Hospital and Regional Medical Center in Seattle. The research was published online today by the journal Pediatrics. The study involved 565 Seattle parents who periodically filled out TV-watching diaries and questionnaires measuring their child’s behavior. Half were coached for

six months on getting their 3- to 5-year-old kids to watch shows such as “Sesame Street” and “Dora the Explorer” rather than more violent programs like “Power Rangers.” The results were compared with kids whose parents got advice on healthy eating instead. At six months, children in both groups showed improved behavior, but there was a little bit more improvement in the group that was coached on their TV watching. By one year, there was no meaningful difference between the two groups overall. Low-income boys appeared to get the most short-term benefit. “That’s important because they are at the greatest risk, both for being perpetrators of aggression in real life, but also being victims of aggression,” Christakis said. The study has some flaws. The parents weren’t told the purpose of the study, but the authors concede they probably figured it out and that might have affected the results. Before the study, the

children averaged about 1½ hours of TV, video and computer game watching a day, with violent content making up about a quarter of that time. By the end of the study, that increased by up to 10 minutes. Those in the TV coaching group increased their time with positive shows; the healthy eating group watched more violent TV. Nancy Jensen, who took part with her now 6-year-old daughter, said the study was a wake-up call. “I didn’t realize how much Elizabeth was watching and how much she was watching on her own,” she said. Jensen said her daughter’s behavior improved after making changes, and she continues to control what Elizabeth and her 2-yearold brother, Joe, watch. She also decided to replace most of Elizabeth’s TV time with games, art and outdoor fun. During a recent visit to their Seattle home, the children seemed more interested in playing with blocks and running around outside than watching TV.

Confirmation vote is likely Feb. 25 • HAGEL Continued from page A1 became ensnared in Republican lawmakers’ questioning of how the White House handled the Sept. 11 attack against a U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya, in which the U.S. ambassador and three other Americans were killed. Hagel was not involved in the administration’s response. GOP senators also have challenged Hagel’s past statements and votes on nuclear weapons, and his criticism of

President George W. Bush’s administration. Republicans last week delayed a confirmation vote, but have indicated that one will be allowed when senators return from a break Feb. 25. Sen. Lindsey Graham, RS.C., another leader of the opposition to Hagel, referred to a letter he received from Hagel in response to questions about past statements on Israel. Graham said that, as a result, he’ll take Hagel “at his word, unless something new comes along.” Still, the weeklong delay buys Hagel’s opponents even

more time to rally opposition. White House Chief of Staff Denis McDonough, making his first appearances on the Sunday talk shows in his new role, was asked if the delays in filling out Obama’s Cabinet presented a threat to national security. “It’s a grave concern,” he said. Hagel “has one thing in mind: How do we protect the country,” McDonough said, adding that there was nothing to worry about in any disclosures about Hagel that may still come.

MCC mulls hikes through fiscal 2016 • MCC Continued from page A1 “Tuition is the only area where the college has direct control over a source of funding,” Smith wrote last month in a report to college trustees. A tuition hike also would cover salary increases the college agreed to with its bargaining units. “Tuition rates should be set in order to help balance the budget and to bridge any gaps that may exist and to avoid depleting fund balances,” Smith wrote. The college could consider $3, $4 and $5 increases per credit hour through fiscal

2016, according to the January report by the president. That means the tuition rate would go from $99 this year to $102 in 2014, $106 in 2015 and $111 in 2016. Using that structure, the college could generate an additional $649,422 by 2016. However, that added revenue provides for no growth in credit hours, despite the fact the college has predicted increases. Credit hours this year jumped 7.2 percent, the college has reported. Smith said Friday that tuition increases presented last month could change, but she declined to give specifics before Tuesday’s meeting. The college does not provide

detailed packet information before its Committee of the Whole meetings as it does for its regular board meetings. “We are going to recommend a multiyear plan for tuition increases so we won’t have major ups and downs students would have to deal with,” Smith said. The college last raised its tuition in 2011, when it went to $99 per credit hour. Tuition and fees charged to students were $47 per credit hour in 2000. There was a double-digit percentage increase in 2003, when the total cost of a credit hour went up 11.8 percent to $57 from $51, according to college documents.

Number of interns is expected to increase by 8.5 percent next year, data show • INTERNSHIPS Continued from page A1 System and DeKalb-based NIU. Her daily tasks range from shadowing seasoned employees to working on spreadsheets, and many things in between. “I never had any experience in the hospital setting, so this is really opening my eyes to what my degree will allow me to do,” said Larson, 22. “By the time I am done here, I will know exactly what I want to do.” About 63 percent of paid interns received at least one job offer after graduation, according to the 2012 Internship and Co-op Survey and Student Survey Class of 2012. Only 36 percent of those without internship experience received offers. The number of interns is

expected to grow by 8.5 percent next year, data show. About 55 percent of students in the Class of 2012 had internship experience. McHenry County College offers several internships through its workforce development program. That includes grant money through the Illinois Cooperative Work Study Program, which allows students to connect with local businesses and take part in study-specific internships. The local community college focuses on technical trades and health services, among other careers, and the internships can be creditbased, paid or unpaid. “An internship increases students’ chances to gain meaningful employment geared toward their skill sets and interests,” said Flecia Thomas, dean of student development at MCC. “You

study and actually get out in the field and work. There’s no other way to get experience without getting out there and doing it.” Centegra internships include formal administration, field specific and nursing, as well as an administrative fellowship program for those who recently obtained a master’s degree and are looking for health care experience. “When we are interviewing candidates that are new graduates, if they don’t have a lot of work experience, it is critical to have taken part in some type of internship,” said Matt Johnson, director of employment and development at

Centegra. “We focus on the whole pipeline of people coming into health care fields.” According to the surveys, 75 percent of employees hired through a company’s internship program were kept on after one year, compared with 66 percent for those without one on their résumé. After five years, 62 percent of interns were still at the company, data show. About 48 percent of hires with no prior experience were still with the company after five years. Linnea Mason interned in the public affairs and marketing department at Advocate Good Shepherd Hospital in Barrington from December 2010 to May 2011 after graduating from Columbia College in Chicago with a bachelor’s degree in marketing and public relations. Six months into her unpaid internship, a full-time

community outreach position became available at the hospital. Mason has been a full-timer ever since. “BecauseIwascomfortable with the hospital already, it gave me that niche to getting the job,” the 25-year-old said. “Without having the relationships and experiences I had as an intern, I never would have gotten this job.” Besides the benefits to the students, internships also are seen as a boon for the companies involved. “We teach interns about the industry, but it also matches our desire to give back to the community,” said Jennifer Johnson, vice president of Exemplar Financial Network in Crystal Lake. “It bridges the gap between the classroom and the skills we need these students to come out of school with.” Dawn Gillman, co-owner of Crystal Lake Engraving,

agreed. “You might get the best out of a person, and they get the best out of the experience,” said Gillman, who is in the process of selecting her first intern. “It’s real-world experience to match with their classroom experience. Having your boots on the ground is different than theories being taught in the classroom.” Stak Enterprises Inc. in Algonquin is using its first intern. The small, family-owned business specializing in the design and manufacturing of products that prevent water damage offered the internship as a project to update the company’s website. “We can learn from him, and he can learn from us,” coowner Laurie Johnson said. “On-the-job training is so valuable. You can learn from books, but real-life experience means so much more.”

Get licensing back on track If you get sick or injured in the state of Illinois, you may die because there will not be enough licensed doctors to take care of you. Absurd statement? Yes, but no less absurd than the fact that the state agency that licenses doctors is running out of money and laying off staff, and may not be able to issue physicians the credentials they need to practice in a timely fashion. The Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation issues licenses, disciplines doctors and maintains a website you can use to check up on a physician. The problem is that it has no money. The department has a $9.6 million budget shortfall, which is why it has had to lay off staff and why it could take months rather than weeks for doctors to get their licenses. The IDFPR could be getting by if the state hadn’t swept $9.6 million over the years from its account to cover other state financial shortfalls. The licensing delay is critical for medical school graduates who could see the start of their careers postponed. Match Day, a national event in which graduating medical school students learn where they will work as residents, is next month. Med school graduates can’t practice until they are licensed. They could take a more expedient route and practice in a different state, which means Illinois could lose some of its best and brightest. The licensing delay also could leave hospitals short-staffed and could prod experienced doctors to practice across the state line or retire rather than deal with the licensing hassles. The Illinois State Medical Society endorses legislation – House Bill 1001 – that would increase licensing fees from $300 to $500 every three years (a 67 percent increase) so the regulation department has plenty of money to do its work. IDFPR doesn’t think that’s enough. IDFPR wants the doctors’ fees to be increased to $750, and it proposes borrowing $6.6 million so it can rehire staff and get back on track. Rockford Register Star

8IT’S YOUR WRITE Weapons control To the Editor: Our current push on gun control is incomplete at best. Without rehashing the daily soapbox standings on this issue, I’ll climb on mine. Deranged individuals shoot to death and permanently hurt thousands in our country, but the same cartel that manufactures these guns benefits from even more thousands of human lives, including many of our citizens, indiscriminately killed around the globe in the name of what we majestically call “our interests.” My interests are that our country becomes a peaceful, civilized, educated, humane and energyindependent society, goals clearly disconnected from violence. We fight like Neanderthals, aimlessly clobbering anyone who we find standing in our path, bystanders included. We operate at a lower intellectual level than China and Korea, who are winning the economic war by outwitting us, no drones. Murderers are barred from accessing guns, but we allow our military apparatus to kill as long as there is corporate profit in it, clearly what “our interests” mean in that context, showing that we consider the life of someone in the mountains of Afghanistan measurably less valuable than the narrowly focused revenues, or the life of any

of our children dying and becoming maimed, sacrificed to preserve these profits. Does all this fit into the frame of our religious beliefs we proudly boast about? A better way to gain respect is by setting an example of intelligence, fairness and humanity, rather than being feared for our military might, which only perpetuates the international hatred we have already drawn.

Fighting cronyism

Millard Dunton

To the Editor: As a resident of Lakewood and Grafton Township, I have followed the news accounts of conflict between the Grafton board and the supervisor, Linda Moore. I believe Moore has been trying to fight cronyism, resulting in waste and overspending by the board, while she has tried to hold the line on taxes. Moore is a rare elected official who wants to reduce the costs of operating the township while holding the line on taxes. I am on a fixed income and can’t afford more taxes. The trustees forced Moore to go to court just so she could fulfill her duties. The resulting legal bill cost nearly $500,000. It was a tragic waste of resources, all for naught. Let’s keep the only choice for lower taxes in office. I am urging the re-election of Linda Moore for

Lakewood

Cause of the problem To the Editor: I am inspired to write by Sen. Pam Althoff’s comments about the “broken pension systems.” Her comments ignore the cause of the problem. It seems she feels that it just happened, kind of like catching a cold. It just happened and she does not know how. The pension systems were established in Illinois asking the employees to contribute during their working years while the state also would pitch in. The retirement system would then invest the money and, through the magic of compounding, there would be enough assets for the retiree to receive an ongoing annuity based on years of service for life. The system was designed to be self-perpetuat-

ing with enough funds to avoid any burden on future taxpayers. Had the state of Illinois acted responsibly, the pension system would not be “broken.” Although the employees always paid their share, the state has not fully paid its promised share in decades. Please, Sen. Althoff, realize the retirees are not the problem. They are the victims of the irresponsible behavior of the state Legislature. Now, many years down the line, the retirement systems have not benefited from the compounding that would make them financially secure. The legislators caused the problem. If I did not pay my bills for decades, it would not be right for me to go to my creditors looking for them to solve my problem. The state should not look to the retirees to solve the state’s debt.

Union army accepts Charleston’s surrender On this day (Feb. 18) in 1865, Union Gen. Alexander Schimmelfennig’s Division of William Tecumseh Sherman’s all-conquering army entered Charleston, S.C., and accepted its mayor’s formal surrender of what many Northerners considered “the proud birthplace of secession.” Sherman, as commander of the Union’s 100,000-man Army of the Tennessee, had in mid-1864 embarked upon his march through “ the heart of the Confederacy.” Opposed by Confederate Gen. Joseph E. Johnson’s 60,000-man, ill-equipped, psychologicallybeaten Army of Tennessee, Sherman’s marauding army, traveling from Chattanooga, Tenn., to Atlanta, rather handily outmaneuvered and outfought Johnson and his increasingly beleaguered army. Confederate President Jefferson Davis soon grew impatient with his commander’s ineffective Fabian delaying tactics and appointed Gen. John Bell Hood to replace the now discredited Johnson. Forsaking Johnson’s Fabian tactics, Hood boldly attacked Sherman with disastrous results. Suffering irreplaceable heavy losses of men and equipment, Hood was forced to retreat into the Atlanta entrenchments. On Sept. 1, 1864, Hood was forced to evacuate Atlanta, and Sherman occupied the city the next day. From Atlanta, Sherman embarked, along a 60-mile-wide corridor, upon his now famous (infamous?)

8THE FIRST AMENDMENT

ON THIS DAY Joseph C. Morton “march to the sea” to Savannah, which he occupied on Dec. 22. During the 285-mile trek through the “heart of Georgia,” Sherman’s four army corps were virtually unopposed. Sherman’s 60,000 “blue avengers” were able to “forage liberally on the country” and to destroy everything in their way that would possibly be of military value to the Confederacy. Thus, most public buildings, factories, warehouses, bridges, cotton gins, railroads and more than a few private farms and plantations were systematically destroyed. Despite Sherman’s orders to the contrary, there also was a great deal of looting. From Savannah, Sherman sent his famous message to President Abraham Lincoln: “I beg to present you, as a Christmas gift, the city of Savannah.” With his troops “burning with an insatiable desire to wreak vengeance upon South Carolina,” Sherman led his victorious army into that “birth place of the rebellion” on a march more destructive than the more famous “march to the sea” in Georgia. A participating Union officer, after the war, wrote, “In Georgia, few houses were burned,” in S.C., “few escaped.” On Feb. 17, Union forces captured and

burned the state capital city of Columbia and, the following day, entered Charleston, where much of the city also was torched. Ever since, Southerners blamed the “blue bellies” for the burning of Charleston while Sherman steadfastly maintained that most of the fires were set by fleeing Confederate soldiers. During his three marches through the heart of the Confederacy (i.e., Chattanooga to Atlanta, Atlanta to Savannah, and Savannah to Charleston), Sherman’s goals, with Lincoln and Union Army Commander Gen. Ulysses Grant’s reluctant approval, was two-fold: prove that the Confederacy was in fact, by late 1864, a beaten nation, which was totally unable to defend its heartland; and come north from Savannah through the Carolinas on Robert E. Lee’s rear to crush the Army of Northern Virginia and thereby bring the bloody conflict to a favorable conclusion. That the Confederacy could hold out against increasingly heavy odds until April 1865 seems to confirm a time-honored adage that fighting an offensive war against a determined, well-led foe is more demanding of time, men, equipment and supplies than is fighting a purely defensive war.

CLASS 1A WESTMINSTEr CHrISTIAN rEgIoNAL

VIEWS Tom Musick

Little things nudge Hawks toward history CHICAGO – Blackhawks forward Brandon Bollig chose his words with the skill and caution of a tightrope walker. A few seconds before the Hawks’ first goal of what turned out to be a one-goal victory, did Bollig quietly nudge the stick away from Los Angeles Kings goaltender Jonathan Quick? “Ummm,” he said with a hint of a smile. “I don’t know. You tell me.” Yes. And I’m all for it. Beauty is in the details, and Brandon the Blackhawks are playing Bollig beautiful hockey. Here’s the big picture: The Hawks beat the Kings, 3-2, on Sunday to improve to 12-0-3. They have earned at least one point in each their first 15 games, matching the 1984-85 Edmonton Oilers and moving within one game of the NHL record, set by the 2006-07 Anaheim Ducks. Those Ducks won the Stanley Cup, by the way. So did the fast-starting Oilers. For the Hawks to follow suit, every player will have to contribute. That includes Bollig, who entered Sunday’s game with three times as many penalty minutes (75) as games played (25) in his career. Yet the 26-year-old from suburban St. Louis made one of the most important plays of the game, even if it never will show up in a box score. In the first period, Quick lost his stick. A Kings player tried to slide the stick back to Quick, but Bollig saw it happen and used his stick to nudge the goaltender’s stick a few feet away before Quick had a chance to scoop it up. At least, that’s what it looked like to me. It turns out that a goaltender’s stick is kind of an important work tool for, uh, a goaltender.

Out of the gate The Blackhawks have opened the season with at least one point in 15 consecutive games, which is a franchise record and marks the second-best start in NHL history.

aith Lutheran prefers to consider what it has more than what it is lacking. The tiny Crystal Lake private school has 77 students and a much more limited pool from which to draw athletes than any other high school in McHenry County. Yet junior Ben Boyer sees an advantage there. “We see each other almost every second of every [school] day,” said Boyer, a 6-foot-4 forward on the Saints’ boys basketball team. “Out of 12 people in class, six of them are my teammates, so team chemistry comes from that.” Saints first-year coach Aaron Boettjer also finds a benefit in the small population. “[The other students] come to the games with us,” Boettjer said after Thursday’s 48-45 upset victory at Harvest Christian Academy in Elgin. “They travel on the bus to games with us. It builds a nice community. Everybody at Faith gets along, and that

Players’ hometowns

are spread all over the county, so getting together even for pickup games takes some planning. While larger schools have feeder programs that can get players learning the system in elementary school, Faith just hopes to get players with some decent skills. The Saints play their home games at Immanuel Lutheran, a grade school southeast of Crystal Lake Central, and played an independent schedule this year, but that will change. Next year, Faith joins Alden-Hebron, Christian Liberty, Christian Life, Harvest Christian, Illinois Math and Science, Luther North, Keith Country Day, Mooseheart and Westminster Christian in the Northeastern Athletic Conference. Still, the Saints are making headway. They are 7-20 going into the IHSA Class 1A Westminster Christian Regional, which tips off at 7:30 p.m. today with No. 4-seeded Harvest Christian meeting No. 5 Alden-Hebron. No. 7 Faith faces No. 2 Mooseheart at 6 p.m. Tuesday in a first-round game.

Danica first woman to win Cup pole By MArK LoNg The Associated Press DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – Danica Patrick has made history before – as a woman and a racer, in Indianapolis and Japan. The spotlight is nothing new. But never before has it been this bright. Patrick won the Daytona 500 pole Sunday, becoming the first woman to secure the top spot for any race in NASCAR’s premier circuit. It’s by far the biggest achievement of her stockcar career. “I was brought up to be the fastest driver, not the fastest girl,” she said. “That was instilled in me from very young, from the beginning.

I don’t think any of it would have been possible without that. “For those reasons, I’ve been lucky enough to make history, be the first woman to do many things. I really just hope that I don’t stop doing that. We have a lot more history to make. We are excited to do it.” Her latest stamp in the history books came with a lap of 196.434 mph around Daytona International Speedway. Patrick went out eighth in the qualifying session, then had AP photo to wait about two hours as 37 fellow drivers tried to take her Danica Patrick climbs out of her car Sunday after her qualifying run for the Daytona 500 in Daytona Beach, Fla.

BLACKHAWKS 3, KINGS 2

Hawks hang on to extend streak By MATT CARLSON The Associated Press CHICAGO–TheBlackhawks used a strong start against the Los Angeles Kings on Sunday to keep their strong start to the season on a roll. Brent Seabrook and Jonathan Toews each had a goal and an assist to help the Hawks beat the Kings, 3-2, extending their season-opening points streak to 15 games. Patrick Sharp also scored for the Hawks (12-0-3), who matched the 1984-85 Edmonton Oilers for the second-longest season-opening points streak in NHL history. The Hawks are one away from tying the league record set by Anaheim in 200607 and will try to match the mark Tuesday when they hosts Vancouver. Mike Richards scored two power-play goals in the third period to pull the Kings within one after the Hawks outplayed the Stanley Cup champions in the opening 40 minutes and built a 3-0 lead. But the Hawks and goalie Ray Emery hung on. “The guys wanted to get a

Next for the Hawks Vancouver at Hawks, 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, CSN, AM-720 good start, a good jump on L.A.,” Seabrook said. “Ray made the big saves when he needed to.” The Hawks’ start to the season is beginning to reach historic proportions in more way than one. Anaheim won the Stanley Cup in 2007 after its recordsetting points start. The 198485 Oilers and Montreal, which opened with 14 straight in 194344, also won the Cup in those seasons. Emery, the Hawks’ backup, made 25 saves. He lost a bid for his first shutout in more than three years when Richards connected 56 seconds into the third period. Emery made backto-back starts for the first time this season with Corey Crawford missing his second game because of an undisclosed upper-body injury.

Kings coach Sutter says Bollig deserved penalty • MUSICK Continued from page B1 A goalie with no stick might as well be a reporter with no notebook, a butcher with no knife, a firefighter with no hose. Imagine a referee with no whistle. Imagine RuPaul with no wig. OK, don’t imagine that last part. The point here is that Quick was in a world of trouble. He knew it, the Hawks knew it, and another sellout crowd of 21,843 fans watching from inside the United Center knew it. Without his stick, Quick watched Hawks defenseman Duncan Keith handle the puck near the blue line. Keith fired a pass to teammate Brent Seabrook, who quickly ripped a shot into an open net before Quick could recover. I tried asking Bollig again about the sequence. He politely spoke as if an invisible attorney were whispering into his ear. “I think it’s illegal for us to touch that stick,” Bollig said. “It may have touched me. I don’t know. I can’t tell you.” Here’s what the NHL rulebook can tell me. “Rule 53.2: When moving a stick that is not broken, no penalty shall be assessed as long as it does not interfere with the play and the player who

lost said stick is not attempting to retrieve it, otherwise an interference penalty must be assessed.” It was enough to upset Kings coach Darryl Sutter after the game. “Our goaltender should have been allowed to have his stick,” Sutter said. “It got pushed away and it should

have been a penalty. “The shorter referee was standing right there by our bench – the other guy couldn’t see it – but the shorter one had the same view that I did, and he should have made the call. We shoved his stick to him and they shoved it away. It shouldn’t be a goal.” Exactly how short was this “shorter referee”? I spotted no Oompa Loompas on the ice. But I digress. If Quick had his stick on the play, who knows whether the Hawks would have scored? And if the Hawks had not scored early, who knows how the game would have turned out? “That was a big goal to get us rolling,” Hawks coach Joel Quenneville said. It has been like that all season for the Hawks. Hidden among the highlights are blocked shots and poke checks and the type of extra effort that draws a penalty or keeps a play alive. It’s standing up for a teammate after a big hit. It’s making a heads-up play away from the puck (and if it’s illegal, it’s not getting caught). It’s about details, details, details. “They stress that a lot,” Bollig said. “I don’t think you can win on skill alone. We definitely have plenty of skill, but you’ve got to do the little things and pay attention to details.” All of those tiny details add up to one big fact. The Hawks are the best team in hockey. • Northwest Herald sports columnist Tom Musick can be reached at tmusick@shawmedia.com and on Twitter @tcmusick.

MESA, Ariz. – Sunny skies and warm weather greeted chairman Tom Ricketts when he arrived at the Cubs’ spring training facility to address the organization. There was plenty of optimism Sunday as the Cubs prepared for their first full-squad workout. Ricketts preached to the news media about the Cubs’ pitching depth and said he believes they’ll be a great team this season. But the lovely weather and the optimism surrounding a new season couldn’t overshadow one of the biggest challenges Ricketts and the Cubs face in overhauling Tom Ricketts the franchise: securing funding and approval for renovation of 99-year-old Wrigley Field. Any Cubs fans looking for reassurances the Wrigley renovation situation is heading toward a quick resolution, well ... keep waiting. The hold-ups preventing the Cubs from getting to work on fixing and updating Wrigley are equivalent to a to-do list that only keeps growing in tasks. Ricketts was bombarded with questions regarding Wrigley’s status. He carefully worded his answers, refusing to divulge much insight regarding the Cubs’ negotiations with the neighborhood and city. He did, however, point out specific outside influences that are

INSIDE THE CUBS Meghan Montemurro hurting the Cubs. “One of the things that we remind people is that there’s a lot of things that we have to deal with at Wrigley Field that other teams don’t,” Ricketts said. “Whether that’s signage restrictions, rooftops, other people selling Cubs gear right outside the park. All of that is great for them. It doesn’t help us. We have to get those resources back into the team, so I can either give those to [president of baseball operations] Theo [Epstein] to put back on the field or to get those resources into improving and preserving the third largest tourism attraction in the state.” Ricketts made valid points, and it highlights the heart of the Cubs’ contentions with the neighborhood and rooftop owners in particular: Why do the Cubs, who provide the entertainment the rooftop owners and neighborhoods benefit from, face restrictions in running their business? Ricketts conceded that adding more night games this season – the Cubs are limited to only 30 night games with a little flexibility for games that are picked up nationally – is “not on the table,” with talks instead focused on

future seasons. Ricketts also ruled out any consideration of condensing renovations into two years, which would force the Cubs to play elsewhere for at least one season, instead of five years. Notable hurdles remain before the Cubs can begin renovations on Wrigley Field, and anytime politics are involved, the process becomes even more difficult. Big money looms on the horizon, however. WGN-TV’s contract with the Cubs ends after the 2014 season, and considering the franchise, Ricketts can fetch a pretty penny for TV rights. There’s no easy solution to the Cubs’ quest to get resources and money for renovations, given how many people hold an interest in what happens to Wrigley. If anything, the discussions will only get tougher, and nastier, as everybody tries to get a hand on what they believe they deserve. “I would say there’s a lot of constituencies, there’s a lot of people involved, and whenever you have a situation like that, it’s going to take some time and it’s going to take a lot of discussions,” Ricketts said. “But we’re getting through it.” • Meghan Montemurro covers the Cubs and White Sox for Shaw Media.

CUBS NOTES

Garza feels twinge in lat, is day-to-day By MEGHAN MONTEMURRO mmontemurro@shawmedia.com MESA, Ariz. – Cubs pitcher Matt Garza, facing batters for the first time since July, endured a frustrating day. Garza was pulled from his first live batting practice session Sunday at Fitch Park after suffering a mild lat strain. Garza was only halfway through his scheduled 40 pitches when he felt a muscle grab on his left side. He threw one more pitch before walking off the field. “I was fine throwing, but I felt something,” Garza said. “I’m not going to push it if I don’t have to. We’ll see [today] and go from there.” Garza is day-to-day and will be re-evaluated today, though he was optimistic it wouldn’t be a long-term issue. “It’s not as bad as I thought,” Garza said. “ … It shouldn’t be a big thing.” Garza said he was throwing at 80 percent to 85 per-

cent at the time of the injury. Garza, who was officially shut down in August because of a stress reaction in his right elbow, admitted he was frustrated he couldn’t continue. He did not have any issues with his arm. “The ball felt like it was coming out Matt Garza of my hand good,” Garza said. “I had control, downward movement. Everything had movement. I was happy, I threw the ball well. I got a little frustrated, but it’s early.” Lillibridge’s versatility: Reflecting on a season that didn’t go as planned, utility player Brent Lillibridge is grateful for a clean slate. “The biggest thing is I survived,” Lillibridge said of his 2012 season, which included being traded twice. “I survived

the whirlwind of being traded. Obviously, it’s not close to the year I wanted. I had really high hopes from [2011] that I was really moving my career forward and becoming one of the best utilities.” Lillibridge has a great shot at making the Cubs’ 25-man roster because of his versatility. He can play any of the four infield positions, as well as any position in the outfield. Lillibridge, who signed a one-year minor league deal with a camp invite, still believes he’s an infielder first, outfielder second. Lillibridge’s highlight-reel catches during his four seasons with the White Sox suggest otherwise, but he’s willing to play anywhere if it helps him get on the field and help the Cubs win. “I just love being in the infield; you’re so much more a part of the game,” Lillibridge said. “It’s just a lot tougher. I grew up an infielder. Outfield is fun. You get to run around

and you don’t have as many responsibilities other than chase the ball down and throw it into the bases. I feel comfortable playing those positions.” Cubs prank Sveum: The players weren’t about to let manager Dale Sveum live down his infamous hunting accident. Halfway into their first allplayer meeting Sunday, one by one each Cub took off his jacket to reveal a bright orange hunting jacket and handed Sveum one with a bulls-eye. The prank was inspired by Sveum’s offseason quail hunting accident when he was accidentally shot by Robin Yount. “I haven’t gotten to the bottom of it. God help them when I find out,” Sveum joked. Garza, known as a jokester, denied coming up with the idea. “That was a good one,” Garza said. “[It was] just to loosen people up on the first day. It’s a little nerve-wracking, especially for the new guys.”

IHSA ALL-STATE ACADEMIC TEAM

Marengo’s Adams honored By JOE STEVENSON joestevenson@shawmedia.com Marengo’s Katie Adams has proved she is as smart as she is fast. The Indians’ senior distance runner, who was ninth in the Class 2A girls race at the IHSA Cross Country State Meet, was named to the IHSA Academic All-State Team as an honorable mention selection Friday. Adams, the Northwest Herald Girls Cross Country Runner of the Year, has a 4.12 GPA on a 4.0 scale. The IHSA chooses 26 to its Academic All-State first team, then 50 honorable mentions. Each member school is invited to nominate one female and one male athlete who has partici-

pated in two activities and has a GPA of at least 3.5 on a 4.0 scale. “It’s awesome,” said Adams, who won the Class 2A 1,600 meters at last year’s IHSA Girls Track Katie Adams and Field State Meet. “It’s really exciting. We had to list our academic information and individual and team accomplishments and other programs you’re involved with, like National Honor Society.” Nominees also are required to write an essay about how sports and academics changed their lives. “I wrote about how run-

ning has showed me that no matter what the obstacles, you can’t give up,” Adams said. “I wrote about how at sectionals [as a sophomore] I almost collapsed at the finish line and had to come back from that.” The next week, she finished in the top 10 at state cross country. Adams’ former track teammate Allison Rogutich was an honorable mention All-State Academic Team selection last year. Adams, who will run at Iowa next year, lost only one race last season, the state final after she suffered a sprained ankle early in the race. She will major in human physiology at Iowa, with plans to become a physical therapist.

Merrick wins Northern Trust playoff

The ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES – John Merrick was a young face in the crowd at Riviera for so many years, dreaming of one day playing the fabled course on the PGA Tour. On Sunday, he did better than that. He won on it. Merrick hit two clutch shots that led to two pars in a sudden-death playoff and won the Northern Trust Open on Sunday when Charlie Beljan missed a 5-foot par putt on the second extra hole. Merrick, who closed with a 2-under-par 69, became only the ninth player to make this tournament his first PGA

Tour victory. It could not have come at a better place. Merrick grew up in Long Beach, attended this event as a kid and went to school down the street at UCLA. “I can’t put this into words,” he said off the 10th green, his eyes welling with tears. “Growing up as a kid, coming out here, I just wanted to play this tournament.” It was a tough finish for Beljan, famous for having an anxiety attack when he won at Disney late last year. He holed an 18-foot birdie putt on the 18th hole. ACE Group Classic: At Naples, Fla., Bernhard Langer shot a final-round 72 and won

his second ACE Group Classic title in three years by one stroke. Langer two-putted from 50 feet on the 18th for par to finish at 12-under 204, ahead of Jay Don Blake at TwinEagles Club’s Talon Course. It was Langer’s 17th victory on the Champions Tour, and the seventh year he has won at least one tournament.

They also lost to Harvest Christian twice, both by double digits, before turning that around Thursday on the Lions. A-H defeated the Saints, 54-38, on Friday. “They’re much more disciplined than early in the year,” Harvest Christian coach Jeff Boldog said. “They had a lot of turnovers and they weren’t confident. Now, they’re starting to believe they can beat some teams and they’re playing really good, solid fundamental basketball.” Boettjer jumped at the

see what he had. Larson is a point guard who can create for himself and others, Boyer can score inside and has seven double-doubles, guard Matt VanAntwerp is another quick player who can score, and Andrew Tieman leads the team in assists and steals. “As a freshman, the ball went off my foot every time I put it on the floor,” Boyer said. “But you decide to work hard and work with each other. This past summer was probably the biggest leap we’ve ever taken.” Faith is not disillusioned about Tuesday’s regional game. Mooseheart has three Sudanese players – Mangisto Deng, Akim Nyang and Makur Puou – who are 6-foot-7 or taller. “Win or lose, it’s going to be an awesome experience to play against a team with all five starters 6-foot or over,” VanAntwerp said. “I’m going to like it. It will push our team to get better.” When the season ends, the Saints can view their accomplishments and look ahead toward next year, when they will have an experienced, senior-heavy lineup. “People used to think we were just some small school that they play and get a free win,” Larson said. “But now we’re in a conference and we’re here to stay.”

COLLEGE BASKETBALL ROUNDUP

ILLINOIS 62, NORTHWESTERN 41

Illini’s stifling defense, 26-0 run too much

Badgers blow out Buckeyes The ASSOCIATED PRESS MADISON, Wis. – Ben Brust and Jared Berggren each scored 15 points as No. 20 Wisconsin routed No. 13 Ohio State 71-49 on Sunday. Sam Dekker came off the bench to score 13 for Wisconsin (18-8, 9-4 Big Ten), while Traevon Jackson added 10. DeShaun Thomas led the Buckeyes (18-7, 8-5) with 18 points, and Sam Thompson had 10. The win kept Wisconsin tied with Michigan for third in the conference, two games behind leaders Indiana and Michigan State. Ohio State dropped into fifth place. Wisconsin put Ohio State in a hole early and never let the Buckeyes climb out of it. They started the game 3 for 18 from the field and could not get into a rhythm. The Badgers took control with an 18-0 run in the first half that lasted more than 7 minutes and put them up 24-6. Wisconsin led by as many as 26 in the second half. The 17-point halftime deficit was Ohio State’s largest since March 2007 against Tennessee.

Loss in Champaign avenged By SARAH TROTTO The Associated Press

No. 3 Miami 45, Clemson 43: At Clemson, S.C., Kenny Kadji scored 12 points, including the go-ahead 3-pointer with 36 seconds left to keep Miami (21-3, 12-0) perfect in Atlantic Coast Conference play after a victory over Clemson (13-12, 5-8).

No. 4 Michigan 79, Penn St. 71: At Ann Arbor, Mich., Trey Burke scored a seasonhigh 29 points and freshman Glen Robinson III matched a career high with 21 to help Michigan (22-4, 9-4 Big Ten) bounce back from an embarrassing defeat with a victory over Penn State (8-17, 0-13). The Wolverines had dropped three of their previous four games, including a 23-point loss Tuesday night at No. 8 Michigan State. No. 9 Arizona 68, Utah 64: At Salt Lake City, Mark Lyons scored 18 points, freshman Brandon Ashley added 10 in a reserve role and Arizona (21-4, 9-4 Pac-12) defeated Utah (11-14, 3-10) to snap a two-game skid.

No. 12 Louisville 59, South Florida 41: At Tampa, Fla., Russ Smith scored 15 points and Louisville (21-5, 9-4) stayed within a game of first place in the Big East with a lopsided victory over South Florida (10-15, 1-12). Iowa 72, Minnesota 51: At Iowa City, Iowa, Devyn Marble and Aaron White each had 15 points as Iowa (17-9, 6-7) shrugged off an early 16point deficit and rolled past Minnesota (18-8, 6-7) for its third straight win.

Wichita St. 68, Illinois St. 67: At Normal, Cleanthony Early’s 3-pointer with 4.8 seconds remaining capped Wichita State’s comeback and gave the Shockers (22-5, 11-4 Missouri Valley) a victory over Illinois State (16-11, 7-8). Tyler Brown led Illinois State with 17 points.

Illinois’ D.J. Richardson scores in front of Northwestern’s Dave Sobolewski during the first half Sunday in Evanston. RIchardson scored 18 points in Illinois’ 62-41 victory.

EVANSTON – Illinois coach John Groce liked how his team looked on offense. He liked the Illini’s defense even more. The Illini went on a 26-0 run in their 62-41 victory over Northwestern on Sunday night and held the Wildcats to a season-low 25 percent shooting. “Defensively, right now we’re just in the right position more,” Groce said. “We trust one another more. We cover for one another better. We understand that we want five guys guarding the basketball.” D.J. Richardson scored a game-high 18 points and Tracy Abrams added 13 points off the bench for the Illini (19-8 overall, 6-7 Big Ten), who have won four in a row in a streak that includes a victory over No. 1 Indiana. Reggie Hearn led Northwestern with 11 points. The Wildcats (13-13, 4-9) have lost three straight and five of their past six. Illinois scored the first 16 points of the second half after ending the first half on a 10-0 run. Richardson’s layup extended Illinois’ lead to 45-15 with 13:53 remaining. James Montgomery ended that run,

scoring Northwestern’s first points of the half on a layup with 13:26 left. Illinois shot 43.6 percent. The Wildcats committed 14 turnovers while the Illini had nine. “We’ve got to make shots, and we weren’t able to do that tonight,” Northwestern coach Bill Carmody said. “Their defense gets the credit.” Illinois avenged a 68-54 home loss to Northwestern on Jan. 17 and matched its total of Big Ten wins from last season. “We knew they came in our place and got us pretty good, so we wanted to return the favor a little bit,” Illinois guard Brandon Paul said. Richardson has scored in double figures in each of the last eight games, a career-long streak in Big Ten play. He also grabbed eight rebounds. “He’s playing at a really high level right now at both ends,” Groce said. “I still think people don’t understand how good he is on defense.” Northwestern’s all-time low for points under Carmody is 37, which has occurred three times, most recently in 2008 against Illinois. The Wildcats’ previous season-low point total was 44 against Illinois-Chicago on Dec. 1. Carmody is in his 13th season at Northwestern.

MICHAEL JORDAN AT 50

Current stars pay tribute to NBA legend By KRISTIE RIEKEN The Associated Press HOUSTON – Michael Jordan turned 50 Sunday, giving this year’s All-Stars a chance to reflect on his illustrious career and how much he still means to the sport. In a weekend filled with the NBA’s greatest players, Jordan was the topic no one could stop talking about. Though he hasn’t played since the 2002-03 season, Jordan’s influence still permeates the league and its players. “Every kid that wanted to play basketball, that could play, that couldn’t play, you tried to emulate Michael Jordan,” Heat star Dwyane Wade said. “That’s why there will never be another one of him. He the first of his kind. Everything he did was groundbreaking. He did it with so much flare and so much pizazz that even today people are still trying to be like Mike.” Jordan won six titles and five MVP awards during a career spent mostly with the Bulls that began in 1984. Jordan was in Houston this weekend, and celebrated his birthday early with a private bash Friday at the Museum of Fine Arts with guests including LeBron James and Kobe Bryant. Los Angeles Lakers center Dwight Howard is so impressed with Jordan that he said he’s like a real version of Superman. “Be Like Mike” was more than a marketing campaign. It was a dream

Former Bulls star and current Charlotte Bobcats owner Michael Jordan turned 50 years old Sunday. for many of today’s players. “He’s amazing,” Howard said. “He’s one of the reasons why we played basketball. He inspired us to do great things. I hear his voice sometimes on commercials, it makes you want to get out there and try to do something.” Jordan retired twice before finally leaving the game for good at age 39. Some people wondered this weekend if he could still play in the NBA, despite reaching the age where he qualifies for an AARP card. Wade believes this day will be a

time for Jordan to reflect on his storied career and appreciate his family and health. “Kind of look back at all the things he did, so many years ago in the NBA that still lives on today,” Wade said. “What he’s been able to do to stay this relevant, in this role, the way he has, is phenomenal.” Though he isn’t seen often, Jordan is never far from the game. He is close to a group of players through his Jordan Brand apparel and as the owner of the Charlotte Bobcats. He ignited one of the debates of the weekend when he told NBA TV he would chose Bryant over James based on the number of championships each has won. “If you had to pick between the two, that would be a tough choice, but five beats one every time I look at it, and not that [James] won’t get five, he may get more than that, but five is bigger than one,” Jordan said in the interview, which airs tonight. Carmelo Anthony of the New York Knicks counts Jordan as one of the most influential in his decision to play basketball. “He changed the game, transcended the game,” Anthony said. “He changed the way people coached the game from a mental aspect. From a training aspect, how you approach that, he changed that. So for me as a kid to see that and see somebody go through that and succeed, that was motivation.” Jordan, who retired for the last time with more than 32,000 points, is perhaps known as much by the

younger generation of stars for his namesake Nike shoe as for his basketball skills. “The imprint he’s had on the league, he’s an immortal,” Bryant said. “Everything that he’s done from the business aspect to his professionalism to his work ethic to the global appeal of the game has been something that carries on for generations and generations.” Jordan didn’t make himself available to the news media during AllStar weekend. James said this week that he wasn’t too concerned with the TV remarks. “At the end of the day, rings don’t always define someone’s career,” James said. “If that’s the case, then I would sit up here and say that I would take [Bill] Russell over Jordan. I wouldn’t. I wouldn’t take Russell over Jordan, but Russell has 11 rings and Jordan has six. Or I’d take, I don’t know, Robert Horry over Jordan. I wouldn’t do that. But it’s your own personal opinion.” “Patrick Ewing is one of the greatest of all time,” he continued. “Reggie Miller is one of the greatest of all time. Sometimes, it’s a situation that you’re in, it’s the team that you’re in. It’s about timing as well.” One of the most common sentiments echoed by players this week when talking about Jordan was disbelief that he was turning 50. “Time actually flies,” Bryant said. “Him turning 50, this will be my 17th year, my 15th All-Star Game. Where did the time go?”

Bryant-James duel was ‘all in good spirit’ • ALL-STAR Continued from page B1 The first dunk of the game came 16 seconds in, Paul throwing a pass to Griffin as part of the West’s 7-0 start. The West led after each of the first three quarters, though was never ahead by more than eight points. They finally pushed it into double figures early in the fourth quarter fueled by former Oklahoma City teammates Russell Westbrook and James Harden, but couldn’t put it away until a late run behind the guys from the city of Los Angeles – who along with Lakers center Dwight Howard gave Los Angeles all but one of the West’s starting spots. Paul hit two 3-pointers, Bryant made a layup, and his block of James

led to Durant’s dunk that made it 136126. Griffin had one last forceful dunk to help close it out, throwing a pass to himself off the backboard and climbing high in his neon green sneakers to slam it home and make it 142-134. Harden had 15 points in his home arena, where the sights of the game were on the floor and the sounds were at the rim – which shook repeatedly after thunderous dunks for most of the game before, as usual, players tried to make some stops down the stretch. Players’ sneakers were a variety of pastels and fluorescent colors that looked like they came right from Easter Sunday church, many clashing so badly with their multicolored socks that they may as well have been created by spilling out random paint buckets.

James and Dwyane Wade wore purple, and Griffin’s neon look was also sported by the usually not-soloud Tim Duncan and Brook Lopez. But the NBA’s high-flyers sure could leap in them. Durant slammed one down so hard at one point that he stumbled backward after landing, appearing woozy. He came in as the career leader in points per game with 28.3 and may have won a second straight MVP award if not for Paul’s big finish. The Bryant-James duel down the stretch was a good one between the two players who are most often compared to Jordan. “It was all in good spirit, man. It was just two guys that love to compete, love to go at it. So I had a lot of fun,” James said.

Guthrie happy for Patrick, changes in NASCAR attitudes By DAN GELSTON The Associated Press DAYTONA BEACH, Fla.– Danica Patrick has found more than the success that eluded Janet Guthrie in her brief NASCAR stint. Patrick has the acceptance in the garage that Guthrie never did. Guthrie struggled in an era when women were still viewed in stock car

Danica Patrick displays her award Sunday after winning the pole for the Daytona 500.

Thursday qualifying fields set • DAYTONA Continued from page B1 Only four-time Cup champion Jeff Gordon even came close to knocking her off. Gordon was the only other driver who topped 196 mph in qualifying. He locked up the other guaranteed spot in next week’s seasonopening Daytona 500. “It’s great to be a part of history with Danica being on the pole,” said Gordon, who joked that at least he was the fastest guy. “I think we all know how popular she is, what this will do for our sport. Congratulations to her. Proud to be on there with her.” The rest of the field will be set in duel qualifying races Thursday. However the lineup unfolds, all drivers will line up behind Patrick’s No. 10 Chevrolet SS. And she knows her latest achievement will mean more public relations work. The routine is nothing new for Patrick, who was the first woman to lead laps in the Indianapolis 500. She finished third in 2009, the highest finish in that illustrious race for a woman. And she became the only woman to win an IndyCar race when she did it in Japan in 2008. Hardly anyone witnessed that victory. Leading the field to the green flag in NASCAR’s showcase event should be must-watch TV. “That’s a huge accomplishment,” team owner and fellow driver Tony Stewart said. “It’s not like it’s been 15 or 20 years she’s been trying to do this. It’s her second trip to Daytona here in a Cup car. She’s made history in the sport. That’s stuff that we’re proud of being a part of with her. It’s something she should have a huge amount of pride in. “It’sneverbeendone.There’s only one person that can be the first to do anything. Doesn’t matter how many do it after you do, accomplish that same goal. The first one that does always has that little bit more significance to it because you were the first.” Even before her fast lap Sunday, Patrick was the talk of Speedweeks. Not only did she open up about her budding romance with fellow Sprint Cup rookie Ricky Stenhouse Jr., but she was considered the frontrunner for the pole after leading practice sessions Saturday. And she didn’t disappoint. She kept her car at or near the bottom of the famed track and gained ground on the straightaways, showing lots of power from a Hendrick Motorsports engine. “It’s easy to come down here in your first or second year as a driver and clip the apron trying to run too tight a line or do something and scrub speed off,” Stewart said. “That’s something she did an awesome job. Watching her lap, she runs so smooth.”

racing as unwanted outsiders. Guthrie, the first woman to race in NASCAR’s Coca-Cola 600 in 1976, received an icy reception from the sport’s biggest drivers as she tried to build her career. It was in stark contrast to the scene on pit road moments after Patrick clinched her Daytona 500 pole – with a hug from Tony Stewart and a handshake from Jeff Gordon

Guthrie congratulated Patrick on Sunday for becoming the first woman to win the top spot for any race in NASCAR’s top cirJanet Guthrie cuit. But Guthrie was more proud of the way NASCAR’s attitude toward women has evolved over the past 30 years. Guthrie was heartened

at seeing a women succeed in a man’s world. “It took time for that attitude to change, but it did change,” Guthrie told The Associated Press by phone Sunday. “That was one of my biggest pleasures was seeing that attitude change.” Guthrie was the previous best female qualifier in a Cup race. She started ninth at Bristol and Talla-

dega in 1977. She was the first woman to drive in the Indianapolis 500 in 1977, that same year she became the first to run in the Daytona 500. A ninth-place finish at Indy in 1978 stood as the best by a woman until Patrick finished fourth in 2005, then third in 2009. “I’m ancient history,” Guthrie said, from Colorado. “It’s about time my little record got broken.”

Wedding dance jealousy may Take steps to prevent bone loss push potential partner away Dear Abby: My boyfriend of one year, “Eddie,” has been invited to the wedding of a waitress who works at a restaurant/bar he frequents. I was not invited. Eddie doesn’t dance and has slow danced with me only once. When I told him I would not appreciate him slow dancing with anyone there, we had a heated argument. Eddie told me I have no right to tell him what to do and that I’m trying to control him. I have run this by many people – male and female – and they all say it’s inappropriate to slow dance with anyone but your significant other, especially when she’s not present. I feel Eddie has little regard for my feelings. If he really cared for me, he wouldn’t want to dance with anyone else. I am interested in your thoughts. – His Only Dance Partner Dear His Only: If you would like to “graduate” from girlfriend to fiancée, you will stop trying to control him and tell him you hope he has a good time at the wedding. Insecurity is not an attractive trait, so calm down and recognize a dance is only a dance. From your description of Eddie’s lack of ability, I seriously doubt he will be a sought-after partner on any dance floor. Dear Abby: Our two children (ages 4 and 1 year) have

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips hyphenated last names. It works well, and the names sound elegant together. My husband and I have made this known in the family and have discussed it when asked about it by various family members. However, over the past four years, our choice has been ignored by two relatives from separate sides of our family. They persist in using only my husband’s last name for correspondence and gifts. He has suggested returning the mail as “addressee unknown,” which I think might come across as rude. Is there any way of having our children addressed correctly by relatives who seem to want to ignore their real names? – New York Mommy Dear Mommy: Before doing it your husband’s way, try this: Have another chat with the noncompliant relatives, who may come from a different generation. Explain you gave your children hyphenated last names for a reason – that you want to be equally represented – and the omission of “your” name hurts your feelings. If that doesn’t work, then go back to plan A because you don’t want your children to be confused.

How long could you hang on? What would you give up to keep your grip? Clothes? Medicine? Food? These are the

Dear Abby: My wife and I will be married 25 years and have three children. In my family, my dad was the boss. I always was, too, but never was involved very much with the kids. My wife never really complained about it. She just wanted to keep the family together. Now that the kids are gone, I realize I should have been a better husband. She mostly ignores me and spends her time with the kids and going places. I feel left out. She doesn’t even want to celebrate our upcoming 25th. Should we? I know my dad drank a lot, and now I find myself thinking often about how it must have been for my mom back then. – Regretting In Illinois Dear Regretting: Ask your wife why she doesn’t think that 25 years of marriage is something to celebrate, because it should be. She may spend her time with the kids and going places because that is what she HAS been doing for all these years. There is still time for you to mend this marriage, provided you are both willing to work on it. However, it may take the services of a marriage counselor to break the ice.

Dear Dr. K: I’m a woman in my 40s. Both my mother and grandmother had osteoporosis. What can I do now and in the coming decades to reduce my risk? Dear Reader: All people lose bone as they age. For women, that process starts to accelerate when they enter menopause. One important reason for that is the lower level of estrogen in a woman’s body after menopause begins, as estrogen helps to build bone. Osteoporosis is not inevitable, and there’s much you can do to shield your bones from this disease. The basics of protecting your bones, such as getting enough vitamin D and engaging in weight-bearing exercises, remain the same throughout your life. But there are additional factors you should consider as you get older. • If you haven’t yet started menopause, focus on attaining and maintaining as much bone mass as possible. The more bone mass you have as you enter menopause, the less likely it is you will develop osteoporosis. That’s both scientifically proven and common sense. • Monitor your diet. Get the recommended amounts

ASK DR. K Dr. Anthony Komaroff

of calcium and vitamin D. (I’ve put a table of recommended calcium intake on my website.) Dairy products are a rich source of calcium. Particularly if your cholesterol levels are on the high side, use low-fat dairy products. And a growing number of foods, such as orange juice, are calcium-fortified. • Avoid cigarettes and too much alcohol. Both decrease bone mass. • Perform weight-bearing exercises regularly, as they protect your bones. Inside your bones are two types of cells: One type builds up bone and the other breaks it down. Exercise stimulates the first type and inhibits the second type. Women experience their greatest period of bone loss during the early years of menopause. You can slow that process with the steps given above for what to do before menopause. In addition, do the following as well: • Assess your risk. Talk to your doctor about whether you should have a bone den-

sity test. The preferred test is dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). This test is recommended for all women ages 60-65. You’re in your 40s, so you and your doctor should consider if you are at particular risk for developing osteoporosis. If so, this test could provide valuable information. • Re-evaluate your exercise regimen. As you age, you may need more exercise to keep from losing ground. Incorporate weights into your routine if you haven’t already. Once you reach age 65, bone loss tapers off, but you still are losing bone. All of the previous suggestions still apply. In addition, consider these: • Enhance your exercise routine. Learn tai chi or another exercise that improves balance and coordination to help prevent falls. • Consider medication. If your bone density is below normal, talk to your doctor about whether you should take a preventive medication.

By PHILLIP ALDER Newspaper Enterprise Association

Erma Bombeck said, “My theory on housework is, if the item doesn’t multiply, smell, catch ire or block the refrigerator door, let it be. No one else cares. Why should you?” At the bridge table, if someone makes a smelly play, even if the cards do not instantly catch ire, you should care. Try to work out what is happening and what you can do to stop your opponent’s score from multiplying. In this deal, South is in three no-trump. West leads the spade nine. How should East plan the defense? North was right to jump to three no-trump. With no singleton or void and insuficient points to think about a slam, just go for the nine-trick game. South starts with eight top tricks: three spades and ive clubs. He needs to get a heart trick, but if the opponents take their heart ace and shift to diamonds, they might be able to take four tricks there for down one. Declarer’s best shot is to win the irst trick with his spade king, cross to the dummy, and call for a

heart. If East is napping and plays low, South gains his ninth winner and can claim. However, East should notice things are looking bad for his side. The spade-nine lead was top of nothing, marking declarer with the three high spades. Given dummy’s club winners, he is almost home. South is surely trying to sneak his ninth trick. East must dive in with his heart ace and shift to the diamond two. Here, that works perfectly for the defense.

CROSSWORD

HOROSCOPE

▲ ▲

TODAY - You’re the type of person who is gifted with an ability to make friends easily. This splendid quality is likely to be further enhanced in the year ahead. Your circle of intimates is likely to be enlarged. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- A certain amount of risk may be required in a matter that you manage for others. If your approach is sane and logical, you can minimize the caprices of fortune. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- When working with someone close to you, both of you will have to watch your tempers. Unfortunately, neither one of you is likely to be sold on the other’s input. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Although you might have plenty of reason to criticize a co-worker, you’d be smart to keep your mouth shut. Seek out reasons to praise this person instead. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Your possibilities for gain look exceptionally encouraging, yet there is a strong chance you’ll negate these opportunities through unwise action. Be careful, and don’t waste any chances you get. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Being overly anxious to gratify your ambitions could make you be a bit too pushy if you’re not careful. Objectives can be reached easily if you’re less aggressive. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- In order to protect your interests, you might act in a manner that looks to be too self-serving. If you want to ensure your rights, watch out for everybody else’s as well. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Spending lots of money will not guarantee that you’ll have a good time. In fact, just the opposite could be true. You’re likely to have a better day if you budget your funds wisely. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Although you can do rather well in competitive involvements, you must be extremely selective regarding the tactics you employ to achieve victory. Play tough but fair. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- It’s easy for someone to say something to you that could be misinterpreted. Before ﬂying off the handle, especially toward a friend, be certain that you understand his or her exact meaning. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Try not to become too demanding concerning an involvement with a chum. Be more concerned about your contribution than you are about what he or she is offering. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Should a complication arise in an arrangement that requires teamwork, both you and your allies will have to try to accommodate one another through compromise. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Go slowly when making an adjustment to something that could affect your work or career. Taking small, safe steps is better than going for one huge, blind leap.
