Fire victim ‘well-liked’ Neighbors, principal remember McHenry girl who died

McHenry Township Fire Protection District Chief Tony Huemann and a McHenry Township firefighter assess the damage to a McHenry home Friday. The fire engulfed the home on the 4500 block of West Parkway Avenue in McHenry early Friday morning. By CHELSEA McDOUGALL cmcdougall@shawmedia.com McHENRY – Last summer, a neighbor gave little Dayana Garcia a new bicycle. Today, the memory of the smile that gift brought to her face is neighbors have to remember after the young girl died Friday morning in a house fire. She was 12 years old. Garcia was inside her family’s home in the Lakeland Park subdivision of McHenry when the fire broke out.

Her parents and three brothers escaped through what witnesses described as a leap from the home’s second-story windows. An autopsy revealed that Garcia died of smoke inhalation. She was remembered fondly by neighbors and those at Parkland Middle School, where she was a seventh-grader. “Dayana was a wonderful young lady who was well-liked by the entire Parkland staff and students,” Principal Mike Adams said in an email to the Northwest Herald. “This is a sad day for her

family as well as our entire school family.” Counseling was offered Friday at the school, he said. When emergency crews arrived at the 4510 Parkway Ave. home at 1:20 a.m., it was fully engulfed in flames, fire officials said. The McHenry Township Fire Protection District called for assistance from several area fire departments, and it took several hours to extinguish the blaze. Garcia was found dead inside

Inside In a separate incident, a 20-year-old man died Monday at his McHenry home down the street from where fire crews had an hour earlier responded to a fatal house fire. Page A7

Another member of the McHenry County Mental Health Board is stepping down, three days after the County Board voted to oust its president. Board Treasurer Sam Tenuto, a member since 2008, resigned effective Friday to take a management position with Pioneer Center for Human Services, the county’s largest social service agency. Staying on the board would constitute a conflict of interest because McHenry-based Pioneer Center receives Mental Health Board funding. Tenuto said his decision is about a better opportunity and has nothing to do with growing criticism of the Mental Health Board’s budget and spending or Tuesday’s ouster of former President Lee Ellis. Tenuto has worked for the past 20 years with Clearbrook, a service provider for people with developmental and intellectual disabilities. Tenuto’s resignation follows that of the Rev. Jim Swarthout, a former board member who stepped down five months ago to take a job with Rosecrance Health Network, which also receives board funding.

At a glance McHenry County Mental Health Board Treasurer Sam Tenuto has stepped down to accept a job as director of intellectual and developmental disability services for Pioneer Center for Human Services, which receives funding from the board.

Ill. GOP official, lawmaker face backlash over gay marriage stance By SARA BURNETT The Associated Press SPRINGFIELD – Two Illinois Republicans are finding that for all the talk nationally of the GOP becoming more inclusive and appealing to voters by softening stances on social issues, it’s difficult to actually follow through.

PORTLAND, Maine – A young seal somehow wandered up a steep embankment and crossed four lanes of traffic to make an unexpected appearance at the entrance of Mercy Hospital in Portland, Maine. Mike Therrian, who was shoveling snow, saw the seal under an awning and thought it might be someone bundled under a blanket Friday morning. Instead, he said it was a 30-inch-long gray seal. Hospital security was alerted, and a marine mammal expert was dispatched. But Therrian and a co-worker from Seabreeze Property Service encouraged the seal to move on before the marine mammal expert arrived. Therrian said that with some coaxing the seal slid down the hill and crawled back into the Fore River, which empties into Portland Harbor.

Cardinals: Tuesday start date for conclave By NICOLE WINFIELD The Associated Press VATICAN CITY – Cardinals have set Tuesday as the start date for the conclave to elect the next pope, a milestone in this unusual papal transition and an indication that even without an obvious front-runner, the cardinals have a fairly good idea of who best among them can lead the Catholic Church and tackle its many problems. The conclave date was set on Friday afternoon during a vote by the College of Cardinals who have been meeting all week to discuss the church’s problems and prior-

ities and the qualities a new pope must possess. Tuesday will begin with a morning Mass in St. Peter’s Basilica, followed by a solemn procession into the Sistine Chapel and the first round of secret balloting in the afternoon. Only one vote is held the first afternoon. If black smoke is sent snaking out of the chapel chimney to indicate there is no immediate victor, the cardinals will retire for the day. They will return Wednesday for two rounds of balloting in the morning, two rounds in the afternoon until a pope has been chosen. In the past 100 years, no

conclave has lasted longer than five days. That said, there doesn’t appear to be a front-runner in this election for a successor to the retired Benedict XVI, and the past week of deliberations has exposed sharp divisions among cardinals about some of the pressing problems facing the church, including of governance within the Holy See itself. U.S. Cardinal Timothy Dolan, considered a papal contender, said in a blog post Friday that most of the discussions in the closed-door meetings covered preaching and teaching the Catholic faith, tending to Catholic schools

and hospitals, protecting families and the unborn, supporting priests “and getting more of them!” “Those are the ‘big issues,’ ” he wrote. “You may find that hard to believe, since the ‘word on the street’ is that all we talk about is corruption in the Vatican, sexual abuse, money. Do these topics come up? Yes! Do they dominate? No!” Early in the week, the Americans had been pressing for more time to get to the bottom of the level of dysfunction and corruption in the Holy See’s governance that was exposed by the leaks of papal documents last year.

Obama staying out of negotiations on gun bills By NEDRA PICKLER The Associated Press WASHINGTON – With gun legislation taking shape on Capitol Hill, President Barack Obama has kept a low profile on an issue he has made a critical part of his second-term agenda. The president has not been highly visible in the debate during the past three weeks as gun bills are being written. He’s been embroiled in a budget battle that has dominated his time and for now is letting Vice President Joe Biden

8BRIEFS Bin Laden spokesman pleads not guilty in NYC NEW YORK – A senior al-Qaida leader and son-in-law of Osama bin Laden, captured in Jordan a week ago, pleaded not guilty Friday in a heavily secured New York courtroom to plotting against Americans before and immediately after the Sept. 11 attacks in his role as the terror network’s top spokesman. Bearded and balding, Sulaiman Abu Ghaith was escorted into the largest courtroom at the federal courthouse in Sulaiman Abu Ghaith Manhattan, where he entered the plea through a lawyer to one count of conspiracy to kill Americans in a case that marks a legal victory for President Barack Obama’s administration.

Durbin talks gun control strategy in Chicago CHICAGO – U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin and Chicago Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy continued their push for tougher gun laws Friday, bringing along the parents of a girl whose shooting death in January put the city at the center of the national debate on firearms. Nathaniel Pendleton said he was encouraged that the straw-purchase bill that is named after his daughter, Hadiya Pendleton, has a chance of becoming law after it was approved by the Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday.

Maine town seeks to require gun ownership AUGUSTA, Maine – A town of 140 people in western Maine is considering an ordinance making gun ownership mandatory, the latest of a handful of communities nationwide to pass or consider such a rule even though the measures are widely considered unenforceable. All three members of the Board of Selectmen in Byron favor it, and Head Selectman Anne Simmons-Edmunds said she expects residents to approve it at Monday’s town meeting, a New England institution where townspeople vote up or down on municipal proposals.

Report details flaws in Army’s handling of PTSD SEATTLE – An Army report released Friday finds the service still has trouble diagnosing and treating soldiers for post-traumatic stress disorder, despite more than doubling its number of military and civilian behavioral health workers over the past five years. Confusing paperwork, inconsistent training and guidelines, and incompatible data systems have hindered the service as it tries to deal with behavioral health issues, the report said. It’s a crucial issue: After a decade of war, soldier suicides outpace combat deaths.

bang the drum for tighter firearms laws. White House officials say the president plans to speak out on gun control as the issue moves toward a Senate vote in the coming weeks. But for now, he’s staying out of Barack delicate nego- Obama tiations among lawmakers. The White House says he will become more vocal if the legislative process hits a roadblock.

Obama called for a gun control vote in his State of the Union address on Feb. 12 and followed up three days later with a speech on shooting violence in his murder-plagued hometown of Chicago. He’s barely mentioned gun control publicly in the time since, other than during a minute of remarks Thursday, shortly after a Senate committee approved a bill to increase gun trafficking penalties. He thanked the senators who supported it and urged other lawmakers to pass it into law. “I urge Congress to move

on other areas that have support of the American people – from requiring universal background checks to getting assault weapons off our streets – because we need to stop the flow of illegal guns to criminals,” Obama said before signing a revitalized Violence Against Women Act. The Senate Judiciary Committee plans to resume voting on gun bills Tuesday, including an assault weapons ban and background checks that Obama wants. Biden, a multi-decade veteran of negotiations over gun

laws, has been more vocal in the White House’s gun-control campaign with speeches, interviews and private negotiations. Biden regularly meets with and calls his former Senate colleagues to talk about guns, including holding a White House meeting last week with Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., in which they discussed negotiations on background checks that could win support from Republicans. He’s even gotten involved at the state level by calling legislators in places like Colorado that are debat-

ing gun legislation. And when Obama convened the first Cabinet meeting of his second term earlier this week, he said he would turn the floor over to Biden to talk about their gun initiatives. Matt Bennett, spokesman for gun-control proponent Third Way, said it’s good for Obama himself not to get too involved because he’s seen as such a lightning rod on the issue and might stir up more opposition from Republicans. “We don’t want Republican attitudes about him to get in the way of a deal,” Bennett said.

Survey: Many conflicted on fed spending cuts By TOM RAUM The Associated Press WASHINGTON – As President Barack Obama and lawmakers spar over huge federal deficits, they’re confronted by a classic contradiction: Most Americans want government austerity, a survey shows, but they also want increased spending on a host of popular programs: education, crime fighting, health care, Social Security, the environment and more. Less for defense, space and foreign aid. The newly released General Social Survey asked people whether they believe spending in specific categories is “too much,” “too little” or “about right.” It covers the public’s shifting priorities from 1973, when Richard Nixon was president, through 2012 with Obama in the White House. “Despite a dislike of taxes, more people have always favored increases in spending than cuts,” wrote the survey’s director, Tom W. Smith, of the independent research organization NORC at the University of Chicago. While people’s priorities shift over the years, they’ve not changed on one cate-

Pat Toomey, R-Pa., and others leave the Jefferson Hotel in Washington after a private dinner Wednesday with President Barack Obama. A new survey released Friday indicates Americans agree with Republicans: government should cut its spending. However, Americans want to see those cuts come from defense, space and foreign aid, and not from education and health care. gory. Foreign aid has been stuck firmly in last place since the survey began. Last year, 65 percent of those surveyed thought there was “too much,” 25 percent checked “about right” and a slim 11 percent said “too little.” The numbers are not much

changed from 1973 – when 73 percent said too much on foreign aid, 22 percent just right and 5 percent too little. Various polls have consistently shown the public believes foreign aid is a far bigger slice of the spending pie than it actually is.

Foreign aid amounts to loose change, hovering for years at 1 percent or less of the federal budget, compared with defense spending and “entitlement” programs like Social Security and Medicare. Those are among the biggest deficit drivers and a focal point in

Washington’s recent budget debates. The survey shows the public is largely opposed to cuts in entitlement programs. To reach all these conclusions, Smith devised an index that boils down his findings to a single number for each category. If everyone favored more spending for a given program area, the maximum score would be +100; and if everyone wanted less spending, the score would be a negative number, -100. On this scale, top-ranked “improving education” in 2012 scored +68.4 while bottom-rated foreign aid scored a -60.4. Support for defense spending has swung back and forth between negative and positive over four decades. It posted a -28.4 in 1973 near the end of the politically divisive Vietnam War, turned positive in 1978 and peaked at +48.9 in 1980. It returned to negative territory from 1983 to 2000. But after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorism attacks and the start of the war in Afghanistan, support for more defense spending again went positive – through 2004. But it turned negative again as U.S. military involvement in Iraq increased and has been negative ever since.

NIU administrator named in warrant Eddie Williams on leave of absence By JEFF ENGELHARDT jengelhardt@shawmedia.com

and JILLIAN DUCHNOWSKI jduchnowski@shawmedia.com DeKALB – Top Northern Illinois University administrator Eddie Williams was placed on a paid leave of absence Friday in light of a federal investigation that is probing both the school and the low-income housing development Eden’s Garden that Williams owns. NIU President John Peters said in a statement Friday that Williams, chief of operations and executive vice president of finance and facilities, had agreed to step aside until there is a resolution to the investigation, Eddie which started Williams Wednesday morning when FBI, state police and officials from two other federal agencies collected years worth of materials from the NIU Police Department. “Dr. Williams has been integral to our success, and we have the highest regard for his 42-year commitment to Northern Illinois University,” Peters said in a statement. “He will take this step until resolution of the investigation to avoid any appearance of conflict or any question concerning the university’s response to this matter.” Williams will continue to be paid his $303,684 annual salary while on leave. Although most of the language in the federal search warrant for the NIU Police Department was general, it specifically requested all police records relating to the Eden’s Garden housing development, including “all com-

munications between Donald P. Grady and Eddie R. Williams relating to Eden’s Gardens, including correspondence, memoranda, notes, and audio recordings of meetings and telephone calls.” Grady was police chief at NIU until he was fired Feb. 19. Williams oversaw operation of the police department until Nov. 9, when Bill Nicklas was appointed acting director of public safety. William Sullivan, Williams’ attorney, said in a statement he has no idea why Williams’ involvement with the housing development was the subject of a federal investigation. He said the legally required background checks for tenants in the subdivision receiving federal housing assistance have been conducted for more than five years by Screening Reports Inc., a national provider of background screening services to the multifamily housing industry. Sullivan said Eden’s Garden, which is on Twombly Road west of Annie Glidden Road, is completely separate from NIU. “Its sole purpose is to meet the housing needs of those in the community with limited financial resources,” Sullivan said of the development. “Dr. Williams is cooperating fully with the authorities and Eden’s Gardens has provided all materials requested.” Michael Fox, Grady’s attorney, was also confused as to why his client was targeted in the search warrant, saying there was zero connection with Eden’s Garden. The only connection, Fox said, was Grady reported to Williams as a subordinate. “The chief has had nothing to do with Eden’s Gardens whatsoever,” Fox said. “Where this comes from I have no idea.”

UN sanctions may play into North Korean propaganda By DAVID GUTTENFELDER and FOSTER KLUG The Associated Press SEOUL, South Korea – Seven years of U.N. sanctions against North Korea have done nothing to derail Pyongyang’s drive for a nuclear weapon capable of hitting the United States. They may have even bolstered the Kim family by giving their propaganda maestros ammunition to whip up anti-U.S. sentiment and direct attention away from government failures. In the wake of fresh U.N. sanctions leveled at North Korea on Thursday for its latest nuclear test, the question is: Will this time be different? Since 2006, North Korea has launched long-range rockets, tested a variety of missiles and conducted three underground nuclear explosions, the most recent on Feb. 12. Through it all, Pyongyang has been undeterred by a raft of

Continued from page A1 “I’m excited to work on expanding and developing the services on the developmental and intellectual disabilities side of Pioneer and partner with them,” Tenuto said. The resignation could give Ellis another shot, albeit a long one, at getting reappointed to the nine-member Mental Health Board. It also gives critics on the County Board an unexpected opportunity to pursue more turnover. Critics, which include Pioneer Center officials, have accused the Mental Health Board of spending money on administration and overhead that instead should be disbursed to agencies working with the mentally ill. Preliminary end-of-year financial statements show that the Mental Health Board kept about one-third of the $13.1 million it received last year. It employs more than 30 people – down from almost 50 a year ago – and is paying off $3 million in bonds it issued to almost quadruple the size of its Crystal Lake headquarters. Scrutiny has increased over the past year as the Mental Health Board spent almost $1.8 million to unsuccessfully save Family Service and Community Mental Health

Continued from page A1 President Dick Cheney also support gay marriage. But politicians who step out to instigate change risk getting pushed off, as their actions raise the ire of social conservatives, the Republicans most likely to vote in primaries and have leadership posts. Rep. Tom Cross, the top Republican in the Illinois House, called Brady’s possible firing “a big mistake.” “We’re a party that prides itself and often talks about having a big tent approach. And if we’re going to be a party that grows ... we need to acknowledge that ... we’re not always going to agree with each other 100 percent,” Cross said. “To me, you can be for [gay marriage], or you can be against it. But we ought to say, ‘You have a place in this party.’ ” U.S. Sen. Mark Kirk, the state’s ranking Republican lawmaker, also believes it would be “a mistake” to remove Brady, spokesman Lance Trover said Friday. Kirk voted to end the policy on gays serving in the military, known as “don’t ask, don’t tell” and opposes a constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage. Illinois is a well-known Democratic stronghold, but

Suicide bomb hits as U.S. defense chief visits KABUL, Afghanistan – Afghan officials said there was an explosion outside the Afghan defense ministry causing multiple casualties, as U.S. defense secretary Chuck Hagel visited the country. Afghan police spokesman

Hashmat Stanekzai said an apparent suicide attacker on a bicycle hit the main entrance to the defense ministry around 9 a.m. local time. Officials were still trying to determine the number of casualties. Hagel was in a meeting at a coalition facility in Kabul and defense officials said he is in a

safe location and unharmed. Reporters traveling with Hagel were in a briefing when they heard the explosion, and were moved to a lower floor of the same building. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly.

He was one of 16 applicants for three four-year terms and Swarthout’s unexpired one-year term. The County Board Public Health and Human Services Committee interviewed Ellis and 11 other candidates, but voted Feb. 15, 6-0, to recommend newcomers Robert Routzahn, Carrie Smith and Heather Murgatroyd instead. The committee since January has been headed by Donna Kurtz, R-Crystal Lake, another longtime Mental Health Board critic. The County Board was supposed to approve the recommendations Feb. 19, but Chairwoman Tina Hill, R-Woodstock, sent almost all appointments back to their committees for revotes out of concern that their agendas did not fully comply with the Illinois Open Meetings Act. The public health committee revoted Feb. 27 on the three-year appointments, 7-0. An attempt to give the oneyear unexpired term to Ellis failed, 2-5, and the committee, on a split vote, narrowly recommended incumbent Connee Meschini over former County Board member Mary Donner. Only two of the County Board’s 24 members spoke in favor of Ellis in Tuesday’s

vote to approve the new appointments. Ellis could not be reached for comment Friday as to whether he will reapply. He and supporters fought behind the scenes to unsuccessfully prevent his ouster by County Board members. He has filed a request for review with the Attorney General Public Access Counselor to determine whether the Feb. 15 vote violated the Open Meetings Act, the Northwest Herald learned Friday. Mental Health Board management also has had a number of recent high-profile resignations. The board announced in August the resignation of former Executive Director Sandy Lewis, and the retirements of former Deputy Director Bob Lesser and Clinical Director Liz Doyle. The Mental Health Board hopes to hire a permanent replacement in mid-May, after giving the three new members time to learn their roles. The County Board plans to advertise the newly vacant seat Monday, giving people until April 11 to apply, County Administrator Peter Austin said. Five of the Mental Health Board’s nine seats have turned over since October, which includes the County Board’s voting seat, held by Donner until she lost her 2012 re-election bid.

McHenry man, 20, dies from carbon monoxide poisoning

Opportunity for ousted Ellis to get reappointed? • RESIGNATION

Saturday, March 9, 2013 • Page A7

“To me, you can be for [gay marriage], or you can be against it. But we ought to say, ‘You have a place in this party.’ ” State Rep. Tom Cross Top Republican in Illinois House Republicans did so poorly in November’s elections that Democrats now have veto-proof majorities in the state House and Senate. Cross believes Republicans “turned a lot of people off” – particularly younger, suburban and minority voters who felt the GOP was trying to tell them how to live their lives. Barickman’s vote helped the Illinois Senate approve gay marriage last month. Gov. Pat Quinn has signaled he’ll sign the bill to make Illinois the 10th state allowing gay marriage. But first, the House likely needs Republican votes to pass it, since not all Democrats support it. An Associated Press analysis conducted last month shows Illinois isn’t the only place where Republicans are seeing that their gay marriage votes have consequences. Just 47 Republicans over eight state Legislatures have voted for gay marriage, the analysis found, and many said they paid for it – including losses in primary and general elections. In Minnesota, where a vote

to allow gay marriage could occur this spring, only one Republican state lawmaker has publicly backed it, state Sen. Branden Petersen. Soon after he declared his support, the National Organization for Marriage announced it would spend $500,000 to defeat Republican lawmakers in Minnesota who vote to legalize it. That organization made a similar pledge against Illinois Republicans who votes yes, and has posted a link on its website for gay marriage opponents to email state GOP committeemen and tell them to fire Brady. “Brady has betrayed his party, misrepresented ‘key Republican values,’ and insulted conservative voters in Illinois and across America,” the website states. State Sen. Jim Oberweis is one of the GOP committeemen leading the charge to oust Brady. He said gay marriage isn’t the only reason he wants him gone; he also blames Brady for poor November election results and for working against some Republicans in primary elections.

By CHELSEA McDOUGALL cmcdougall@shawmedia.com McHENRY – A 20-year-old died at his home in McHenry only an hour after emergency crews responded to a fatal fire in the same neighborhood. Carlos Arenas-Rodriguez died of carbon monoxide poisoning, the McHenry County Coroner’s Office reported. It was a tragic morning in the Lakeland Park subdivision, where a 12-year-old girl died in a separate incident. At 2:35 a.m., emergency crews arrived at the home

at 173 North Ave. There they found high levels of carbon monoxide and Arenas-Rodriguez unresponsive. He was treated and transported to Centegra Hospital – McHenry, where he was later pronounced dead. Two other residents were treated and released at the scene. Arenas-Rodriguez was in the basement of the North Avenue home, where a gasoline-powered generator had been supplying the home with electricity, fire officials said. “We did not find any working [carbon monox-

ide] detectors in the house,” McHenry Township Fire Protection District Battalion Chief Joe Kruger said. No foul play is suspected; the investigation is ongoing. It is never safe to operate gas-powered equipment in an enclosed building, the fire department stated in a news release. It also is important to have working smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in all sleeping rooms and on every level of a home.

Counseling was offered at school • FIRE Continued from page A1 once the fire was under control, police said. Dana Rolewski lives across the street from the Garcias’ split-level home. She was returning to her neighborhood early Friday when a police barricade stopped her from entering her street. She parked nearby and could see the flames several streets over, she said. Rolewski remembered Garcia as a motherly figure to her brothers.

“Dayana didn’t say much, but she was so sweet,” she said. “From what I knew and what I saw, she was a total sweetheart.” Rolewski and others are collecting donations for the family. “They’re a really nice family,” she said. “They’re really great people.” There were no signs of foul play, and the fire is considered accidental. It will take several days for the investigation to determine the cause and origin of the blaze. The house was destroyed and will likely have to be torn

down, McHenry Township Fire Protection District Chief Tony Huemann said. The home had at least one smoke detector, but it is unknown whether it went off during the fire. The American Red Cross has set the surviving family up with temporary shelter at a local hotel. The Cary, Wonder Lake, Richmond, Fox Lake and Woodstock fire departments also assisted with the incident.

8SKETCH VIEW

Netsch’s influence continues Dawn Clark Netsch, a Democrat from Chicago, a former state comptroller, and a longtime state senator, was a generation ahead of her time. Netsch, who died Tuesday at age 86, won the Democratic nomination for governor in 1994, the first woman to do so for a major party in Illinois. She campaigned hard against incumbent Republican Gov. Jim Edgar. For the record When the Nov. 8, 1994, election State government is domirolled around, nated by Democrats who think however, Netsch a lot like Dawn Clark Netsch was soundly defeated by Edgar. did. She received only 34 percent of the vote. Things looked rosy for the GOP then. Republicans captured the U.S. House for the first time in 40 years, harnessing voter backlash against efforts by President Bill Clinton to approve a national health care bill. Republicans also captured the Illinois House of Representatives. Steve Brown, House Speaker Michael Madigan’s spokesman, said at the time: “We’re obviously surprised by the overall outcome. [Republicans] are all out of excuses now. They’ll have to produce.” Having Netsch lead the Democratic ticket did not help Democrats that year, but her party, and her ideas, eventually prevailed. National health care was approved in 2010. A state income-tax increase was approved in 2011. Netsch, a supporter of the gay and lesbian community, witnessed the granting of expanded rights, including civil unions, and a current movement to approve gay marriage. And state government is dominated by Democrats who think a lot like Netsch did. In January, Netsch gave an interviewer her take on what Illinois needs to do to fix its problems. “No. 1, we really need to restructure how we raise money so that it is fair and adequate. And then, obviously ... we do have to address the pension problem.” Netsch was known for her directness, so she would not mind us pointing out that her party has controlled the Illinois governor’s mansion, House and Senate for 10 years now. Paraphrasing the 1994 words of Speaker Madigan’s spokesman, Democrats are all out of excuses now. They’ll have to produce.

8IT’S YOUR WRITE What’s real story in Harvard? To the Editor: When I read the article, “No paper trail in Harvard,” I was disappointed but not surprised. I understand that within business, promotions, hiring and firing is solely up to the discretion of that organization; this is not what concerns me the most. What concerns me is the fact that Mayor Jay Nolan lied. He said that there were applications and interviews, but when faced with the task of providing the documentation, his story changed. Why lie? Why cover it up if you haven’t done anything wrong? With an election looming, this mendacious news should have everyone questioning his ethics. Who were these few people who stopped in to inquire about the position but missed some of the qualifications? How did they hear about the job? When his story changed, more holes in it became clear. What is the real story? Will Parker Candidate for Harvard mayor

Assault weapons ban not the solution for crime To the Editor: For decades, our major metropolitan cities have had hundreds of young adults and children killed every year with very little notice. So how do you explain when a tragedy such as Sandy Hook happens, where 20 children were victims of a mentally deranged criminal, the whole county is in an uproar? Some jump on this bandwagon and demand a ban on assault weapons. These gun control pro-

ponents are lobbying for an assault weapons ban, hoping to make our cities and, more importantly, their suburbs safe. The hard truth is banning assault weapons won’t solve a thing. A recent federal government study on this issue stated that “it will have little to no effect on the violence because so few crimes are committed with these types of weapons.” Gun safety regulation is wishful thinking. Criminals do not obey laws, let alone gun-control laws. Where are the online petitions, town-hall meetings and rallies to lobby for national maximum sentences for first-time gun crimes of any kind? Where is the demand for more mental health treatment? Where is the push back on Hollywood for the extremely violent films and video games marketed to our youth? Criminals are less than 1 percent of the population, yet we’re chasing law-abiding citizens. Until we can get our politicians, judges and lawmakers to stand up to violent criminals and the criminally insane and implement long, harsh prison sentences, we will continue to have violence in our society. We all want safe streets, why do we continue to ignore the criminals? Gregory Walker Lake in the Hills

Large road construction projects can be self-defeating To the Editor: There is road construction and there is road construction. Unfortunately, the Illinois Toll Highway Authority is about to tear up the Jane Addams Tollway (Interstate 90) for an unneeded widening. This tollway has been in continuous construction mode for years. Worse than that is the plan to seize the one “free” alternative to I-90, the Elgin-O’Hare expressway, and impose tolls. The worst would be the plan to extend Highway 53 northbound into ecologically

sensitive land in western Lake and northeastern McHenry counties. To fleece us for all of this construction, they nearly doubled the cost of all tolls during 2012. Large expressway projects (toll or free) are also self-defeating in that any congestion relief is only temporary; these projects are sprawl engines and will create growth that will clog them again. Some road construction is good. It’s better to widen existing arterial highways. For example, I look forward to the completion of the upcoming widening to five lanes of Route 14 between Crystal Lake and Woodstock. Similarly, I applaud McHenry County for the recent completion of the Rakow Road widening project. Just some quibbles with that, including the fact that they failed to take this opportunity to realign new north-south roads – McHenry Avenue and Randall Road – to flow into each other. Why promulgate the counterintuitive flow of northbound Randall into a perpendicular eastbound Rakow? Also counterintuitive: one turning lane from southbound McHenry Avenue flows into a temporary lane that ends at Alexandra, forcing traffic into a dangerous merge. Stan Perrin Crystal Lake

State’s fiscal future starts with tough pension-reform votes I ran on a platform of helping to resolve the fiscal crisis in Springfield. Frankly, the problem is much worse than I thought before I took office in January. The state has $9 billion of unpaid bills, more than $200 billion of debt, and the state can’t issue debt on a cost-efficient basis. Paul Volcker, the former Federal Reserve Board chairman, was right when he said that Illinois is insolvent. Our terrible fiscal situation is discouraging job creators from coming to Illinois. We now have a very high unemployment rate of 9 percent in Illinois. It will be hard to get that unemployment rate down unless we’re courageous and make hard decisions. The only way to start address-

ing the Illinois fiscal mess is to first reform public-employee pensions. I’m on record as supporting specific pension reform proposals based on limiting (not eliminating) future cost-of-living adjustments, capping the pensionable salary level, raising retirement ages, and increasing employee contributions. Speaker of the House Michael Madigan finally has started to address pension reform on the House floor. He has designed the process to try to force very tough votes by members. On Thursday, I voted for all three measures that would limit future cost-of-living adjustments, cap the pensionable salary amount, and increase employee contributions. The stakes are high on passing pension reform. Unless we act im-

GUEST VIEW David McSweeney mediately, education will continue to be cut and pressure will build to increase taxes. I will strongly oppose any future tax increases. A tax increase would hurt families and kill jobs. I’m also concerned that there will be a strong effort for a graduated/ progressive tax in Illinois if we don’t pass real pension reform soon. The graduated income tax would be a major tax increase that would drive jobs out of Illinois. Remember what Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel said: “Never let a good crisis go to waste.” I don’t want the Democratic

8THE FIRST AMENDMENT

leaders in our state to use our fiscal crisis as another excuse to raise our taxes. We also need to cut spending. I’ve sponsored legislation that would abolish the post of lieutenant governor as part of my effort for greater government efficiencies. I have garnered bipartisan support, including 29 additional House members, to sign on as co-sponsors. Rep. Jack Franks, D-Marengo, is one of the lead sponsors of my legislation, which passed the State Government Committee this week by a vote of 16-4. We need to have the courage to make our government leaner, smarter and more efficient. We are in a fiscal crisis, and we can’t afford the luxury of having a lieutenant governor. To date, I have declined a legisla-

tive pension, proposed to end all legislative pensions, and have voluntarily cut my own pay and district office expenses by 10 percent. There were tough votes on pension reform this week, and there will be plenty more in the future. That said, I was elected to make tough decisions. I’m honored to serve the residents of our area and will continue to work hard for real pension reform, lower taxes and less spending. The time is now to do our job and vote on all of the difficult issues.

MAN ACCUSED OF HAVING HEROIN FOX LAKE – A Wisconsin man faces drug-related charges after he was caught with heroin Thursday in Fox Lake, according to the Fox Lake Police Department. Brian Antoniak, 22, of New Berlin, Wis., has been charged with possession of a hypodermic needle, possession of a controlled substance, illegal transportation of alcohol and permitting a minor to be intoxicated. Authorities received a call at 9:15 p.m. Thursday about a vehicle swerving into oncoming traffic on Route 12 near American Legion Post 703 in Fox Lake, according to a news release. Officers later located the vehicle at a nearby gas station on South Johnson Road. Antoniak later was searched after officers found a hypodermic needle, the news release states. Heroin also was found. His vehicle and $4,000 in cash were seized during the arrest. Allison Owens, 19, of Oak Park, was charged with underage drinking.

CARPENTERSVILLE – A small grease fire caused a Culver’s Restaurant in Carpentersville to be evacuated. The Carpentersville Fire Department was called at 6:30 p.m. Friday to the fire at the restaurant at 8000 Miller Road. A female manager said the restaurant had customers at the time, but couldn’t say how many were there. An employee extinguished much of the small fire before firefighters arrived, fire officials said. It took crews about 10 minutes to snuff out the rest of it. “It was pretty minor damage,” said Carpentersville Fire Lt. Chris Bolliger, adding that it was contained to the deep fryer.

vidual Development Survey (KIDS) is debuting in 64 Illinois school districts this year, including Woodstock District 200, Marengo District 165 and Hebron District 19. The program – set for implementation statewide in 2015-16 – is meant to assess school readiness and identify gaps in individual kindergarten students’ development while providing educators with a better understanding of the needs of the age group as a whole. “You can say, ‘OK, I can speed up some of my teaching’ or ‘I need to go back and re-teach,’ or ‘I need to group kids this way now,’” said Kim Qualls, principal at Alden-Hebron Elementary

The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency wants a court order to prevent a Cary spray painting company from restarting its operations after three employees were injured after a Wednesday explosion and fire. Portions of the front and rear walls of Fox Valley Systems were blown out in two reported explosions, and more than 20 businesses in the industrial park were evacuated. The business, at 640 Industrial Drive, is a marking and striping company that does traffic and athletic field painting. IEPA Director John Kim asked Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan to seek the order from a McHenry County judge to ensure there has been an investigation to implement preventative measures before the facility is allowed to restart operations. The IEPA says it does not have a complete list of the chemicals at the Fox Valley Systems facility, but it likely had “significant amounts” of propane, toluene, acetone and ester, the agency said in a news release. Firefighters called for hazmat units to assist with Wednesday’s incident. The court order would require the business to give the IEPA a full inventory of the chemicals at the site. The IEPA also asked that

Teachers require KIDS training • KIDS Continued from page B1 School. “So I think it gives the teachers a lot of data to make better decisions about teaching.” Many kindergarten teachers in the local districts participating in the pilot have yet to receive KIDS training, but some, like Carlson, are figuring out how the program will affect day-to-day activity. Assessing students is nothing new, but the KIDS approach has teachers looking not only at math, language and literacy development of their students, but also evaluating self-regulation and social development. The survey’s fifth domain, English language development, applies only to students learning English as a second language. Students are evaluated on four to seven “measures” within each domain.

“ ... I think [the system] gives the teachers a lot of data to make better decisions about teaching.” Kim Qualls Principal at Alden-Hebron Elementary School Teachers fill out the survey for each student three times a year, but its detailed nature requires a commitment to daily evaluation, Carlson said. Students now are placed in groups of two, rather than five or six, to allow Carlson to better observe individuals. “Throughout our whole day, we’re constantly looking at it,” Carlson said of the survey. She takes notes on students daily and collects assignments throughout the year for a portfolio. “It’s an ongoing thing,” Verda Dierzen Principal Tri-

cia Bogott said. “It’s not going to be, one day she sits down and gets all these measures done.” Verda Dierzen teachers will meet later this month to formalize a way of putting those daily notes together, Carlson said. So far, seven of the school’s 20 kindergarten teachers are trained for the KIDS program. In Hebron, the elementary school’s two kindergarten teachers will be trained by the end of the year. Qualls said there’s no doubt the program will alter the daily activities of a kindergarten classroom – a positive development overall, she said, but one that might come with a negative side effect. “We have to move kids quicker,” she said. “I think a lot of things get left out in kindergarten. Learning through play and some of those other sorts of things ... maybe they won’t be exposed to now.”

CL police sought felony charges Funeral services set for Tuesday • CAMERA Continued from page B1 Assistant State’s Attorney Michael Combs said Crystal Lake police sought felony charges. “At the request of the Crystal Lake Police Department, we filed this as a felony,” said Combs, who is chief of the Criminal Division. “The reality is that we would have preferred to have kept this in juvenile [court].” Combs said the public scrutiny Gildea has been subjected to is “unfortunate” and that it’s not in Gildea’s best interest to be a convicted felon for the rest of his life. “He’s a kid,” Combs said. “He did something stupid.” District 155 spokesman Jeff Puma said he legally could not disclose whether any disciplinary action has been

“At this point, we’re still working to make sure we have all the information. We’re working cooperatively with the police department to ensure that we know all the facts going forward. Then we’ll take appropriate action as dictated under our school board policy.” Jeff Puma D-155 spokesman taken against Gildea, who is a junior. “At this point, we’re still working to make sure we have

all the information,” Puma said. “We’re working cooperatively with the police department to ensure that we know all the facts going forward. Then we’ll take appropriate action as dictated under our school board policy.” Suspension or expulsion are possible consequences, he said. Puma also said he could not comment on whether Gildea will be allowed to attend school Monday. The camera was found about 7 a.m. Thursday by a student at the school for an early workout, school officials have said. It was a pinhole camera, which can be disguised as part of an ordinary object. No other devices were found during a search of all locker rooms and bathrooms at the school and other District 155 schools.

• ROSSI Continued from page B1 in the late 1990s. Sass said he would join Rossi and then-Village President Don Enstrom in the 1980s for weekly breakfasts on Sun-

days to talk village news and hang out. Rossi grew up in Cary before settling in Huntley. He is survived by his wife, Brenda; his daughter, Deanna of Sycamore; his mother, Mary; his sisters, Maria Williams, Michelle

Mazzulo and Melissa Martin; and his in-laws. The visitation will be from 3 to 8 p.m. Monday at Trinity Lutheran Church, 11008 N. Church St., Huntley. Funeral services are scheduled for 11 a.m. Tuesday.

seeped into a retention pond near the facility at 640 Industrial Drive and polluted it. IEPA officials are requesting records of all chemicals present in the facility and remediation plans for the cleanup, among other documentation. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration found seven serious viola-

tions when it investigated a 1995 accident in which two Fox Valley Systems employees were hospitalized and a third was exposed to carbon monoxide, according to the OSHA report. Two other OSHA investigation, one in 2004 and the other in 2009, each found two serious violations, according to the report.

Plain With Nothin’ On It ■ AUTUMN SIEGMEIER, PLANITNORTHWEST.COM

As I was standing in line at the deli counter at Caputo’s over the weekend, trying to figure out what potato salad had the fewest onions in it, I realized something. Every family has at least one picky eater in their midst. Sometimes they will admit who they are and sometimes they don’t even realize it. From very limited palates to avoiding a food at all costs, these finicky family members can make meals an adventure. The Golfer in My Life is the most picky eater in our group. The man has never tasted ketchup; he knows by the look of it that he will not like the taste of it. With no ketchup, you know there isn’t mayo, mustard, hot sauce or even sour cream is in this man’s repertoire. Yes, a ham sandwich is just two slices of bread and some ham. How does the thing even stay together in the Ziploc? When ordering his grilled chicken sandwich at Portillo’s, he always says “plain, with nothing on it” and motions his hand, palm down, back and forth to stress the “nothing on it.” For the first ten years of our relationship, I would always say “she knows what plain means.” Now I just smile when his hand starts the move. Maybe if we are ever traveling in rural Estonia and he is ordering a plain hamburger from a nonEnglish speaking McDonald’s employee, that move will come in handy. Fortunately, I haven’t raised two crazy eaters. The most easy going of our crew is Son. Even if he doesn’t really care for something, he will find a way to at least try it. As a toddler, I

could feed him anything. To this day, he still loves beets. Unlike the golfer, he is a big fan all kinds of condiments with ketchup being his favorite. He would even dip his tuna salad sandwiches into it. One day I came home and found him whipping up tuna salad with ketchup actually in it; this made perfect sense to him but to me, pink tuna salad just isn’t appetizing. His one sticking point is onions (I was getting the potato salad for him). I have watched him patiently pick out every finely chopped piece of onion from a fried rice order. He is so mild-mannered about it that he almost doesn’t seem picky. Daughter is more finicky in the way she likes to eat. She enjoys grazing on a few different things all day. It is not unusual to find her with a few small bowls filled with her main dietary staples, grated cheese and mixed salad greens, along with a Go-gurt and some bread and butter. A traditional meal? No. Keeping her fed? Yes. What about me? I have to admit to being a bit regimented in my ways. A few months ago, I heard the phrase “mono-eating” and realized I have been doing that, to some degree, for years. I have the exact same thing for breakfast and lunch five days a week. Every morning, you can count on the Sun rising and me having a pomegranate greek yogurt along with frozen raspberries and pineapple. A certain co-worker thinks I’m crazy but this type of eating does make grocery shopping a breeze; you have the same list every week. The funny things is if you ask any of us, we’re not the picky ones; it’s everyone else! Have a good weekend! Autumn

MINI-REVIEWS & LOCAL SHOWTIMES OF CURRENT MOVIES

Page B5 • Saturday, March 9, 2013

On screen now “Dead Man Down” H STARRING: Colin Farrell, Noomi Rapace, Dominic Cooper and Terrence Howard PLOT: In New York City, a crime lord’s right-hand man is seduced by one of his boss’s victims, a woman seeking retribution. RATING: R for violence, language throughout and a scene of sexuality. TIME: 1 hour, 58 minutes VERDICT: Suspending disbelief is a part of watching most any action film, where bullets fly like birds and mayhem explodes as easily as a shaken soda can. But even in such a contrived movie world, it’s asking far too much for us to accept that Noomi Rapace would be hounded as a “monster” for a little scaring around her left eye. It’s just one of the many silly leaps of logic taken in the lifeless “Dead Man Down,” a film that brings together two lost souls bent on vengeance. The screenplay by J. H. Wyman (“Fringe”) is squirm-inducing in its preposterous dialogue and haphazard plotting. When Victor and Beatrice go out for dinner (shortly before she corners him about killing her assailant, a scene in which she extravagantly spins Victor’s car out of control), they describe themselves as if on a Match.com date. They each admit drinking causes them to swear, and then flatly trade two four-letter expletives. The words would be better groaned from the audience. – Christy

Lemire, The Associated Press

“A Good Day To Die Hard” H STARRING: Bruce Willis, Jai Courtney, Sebastian Koch and Mary Elizabeth Winstead PLOT: John McClane travels to Russia to help his seemingly wayward son, Jack, only to discover Jack is a CIA operative working to prevent a nuclear-weapons heist, causing the father and son to team up against underworld forces. 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-thetop, repetitively numbing fifth film in the “Die Hard” franchise. John McClane used to be a cowboy. Now, he’s a cartoon character – specifically, 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-defining Bruce Willis’ character was the regular-guy, 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 finesse 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

“Identity Thief” HH STARRING: Jason Bateman, Melissa McCarthy, Amanda Peet, Robert Patrick PLOT: When a Denver businessman (Bateman) discovers that a Florida woman has stolen his identity and destroyed his credit record, he travels to the Sunshine State to confront her. 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 find ways to be funny and charming.

– Jeffrey Westhoff, The Northwest Herald

“Jack the Giant Slayer” HHH STARRING: Nicholas Hoult, Eleanor Tomlinson, Ewan McGregor, Stanley Tucci PLOT: After farm boy Jack (Hoult) trades the family horse for some magic beans, he accidentally grows a towering beanstalk that could reignite an ancient war between men and giants. He joins a team of brave knights to climb the beanstalk and rescue a beautiful princess (Tomlinson) from the hungry giants. RATING: PG-13 for intense sequences of fantasy action violence, some frightening images and brief language TIME: 1 hour, 54 minutes VERDICT: Except for a few moments thrown in to gain a PG-13 rating, this is an old-fashioned family adventure fantasy along the lines of “Jason and the Argonauts” and “The Seventh Voyage of Sinbad.” Director Bryan Singer (“The X-Men”) plays the material at face value without shrinking from its corny virtues, and the cast charms by playing it straight. The CGI giants are fearsome villains, and

visual effects featuring the beanstalk are imaginative. The thrill-packed finale goes on too long, though, which is a symptom of current action movies. –

Jeffrey Westhoff, The Northwest Herald

“Oz the Great and Powerful” HHH STARRING: James Franco, Michelle Williams, Mila Kunis, Rachel Weisz PLOT: A tornado drops a two-bit carnival magician (Franco) into an enchanted land where he is mistaken for a wizard and thrust into a power struggle among three witches (Williams, Kunis, Weisz). RATING: PG for brief mild language and sequences of action and scary images TIME: 2 hours, 10 minutes VERDICT: Sam Raimi directs this reverent prequel to 1939’s “The Wizard of Oz” with his usual verve and visual dynamism. From its opening frame, it joins the handful of live-action films worth seeing in 3-D. The first half of the story is superior, particularly when the wizard gains a pair of traveling companions, a timid flying monkey voiced by Zach Braff and a feisty little china doll. These are Gollum-quality CGI characters. When the story shifts to action, spectacle and special effects, it is still dazzling to watch, but it loses heart (and perhaps some courage and brains). – Jeffrey Westhoff, The

Northwest Herald

“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. 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 that the burgeoning romance is too flat to 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.

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 balancing seasoned veterans James Garner and Gena Rowlands. To put it as charitably as possible, the actors in “Safe Haven” are not in the same league. Hough, better known as a singer and dancer than a dramatic actress, is likably spunky, but Duhamel fades into the background, and there are no lively supporting players in the ensemble.– Stephen Farber, The Hollywood

Reporter

“21 and Over” HH½ STARRING: Miles Teller, Justin Chon, Johnathan Keltz PLOT: The night before his big medical school exam, a promising student celebrates his 21st birthday with his two best friends. RATING: R for crude and sexual content, pervasive language, some graphic nudity, drugs and drinking TIME: 1 hour, 33 minutes VERDICT: If you liked “The Hangover” but felt like it needed more projectile vomit, stampeding buffaloes and naughty sorority pledges being spanked, then “21 & Over” is the feel-good, feel-bad movie for you. The writers of that 2009 smash hit, Jon Lucas and Scott Moore, wrote the script here, too, and direct for the first time. Comparatively, it is simultaneously amped-up and slapped together. It is both younger and dumber but also even more equal opportunity in choosing its targets; the same people who get tooled on also rise up and enjoy a certain amount of empowerment. Sometimes this balancing act works and sometimes it doesn’t. “21 & Over” is at its best when it’s riding an all-night, boozy high, when it captures a sensation of idiotic invincibility. When it tries to be about something – growing up and being responsible but still maintaining the fun and friendships of youth – it feels a bit strained. – Christy Lemire, The

Girl fails to measure up Lighten up to combat SAD to her own high standards Dear Abby: I have a problem. Basically, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like me. I am self-conscious about my weight, my face, my personality. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not pretty. I have heard so many times I should â&#x20AC;&#x153;just be myselfâ&#x20AC;? that I am sick of it! I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to be myself because I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like myself. All of my friends are either beautiful, witty, kind or whatever. And I am not, I guess. Please tell me what to do about it. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Coming Up Short In Oregon Dear Coming Up Short: I do have a few suggestions, and the first is to stop being your own worst enemy. The more you dwell on what you think you lack, the more you will amplify those things. Find one thing you like about yourself and build from there. Because youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re self-conscious about your weight, do something about it by adopting a healthy eating and exercise plan. While you may not be a cover girl, you can be well-groomed. More important than being â&#x20AC;&#x153;wittyâ&#x20AC;? is to be a good listener. Remember that, and people will think you are a great conversationalist. The more you brood about yourself, the lonelier you will become. The more you think about helping others, the less time you will have to think about yourself. Dear Abby: My wife and I

A boy who dated one of them has become a family friend over the past few years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Brettâ&#x20AC;? is a nice young man and has always been helpful with our family. The problem is, Brett texts and calls my wife on a daily basis. The conversation is benign, but I can tell he has a crush on her. I have asked my wife to stop communicating with him so often, but she insists itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;just a friendshipâ&#x20AC;? and nothing is going on. My point is that there IS something going on â&#x20AC;&#x201C; from his side â&#x20AC;&#x201C; even though she may not realize it. We have gone round and round about this to the point of exhaustion. Should I let this go or continue to insist that their relationship be redefined? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Uneasy In Florida Dear Uneasy: Looking from the outside in, I suspect your wife is enjoying all the attention sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s receiving from this young man. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in her mid-40s, and it has to be flattering. This is not to imply the communications will lead to anything more. So step back, find your sense of humor and try to be less

heavy-handed until this blows over. Because it will. Dear Abby: My stepfather died recently. I found out when I saw his obituary in the newspaper. It described him as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;loving husband and father,â&#x20AC;? and while I know thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a fairly generic epitaph, nothing about it is true. He was an alcoholic who had several affairs while married to my mother. He also abused me and my stepsiblings physically and sexually. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bad enough he died without having to face the consequences of his actions, but it kills me to know that â&#x20AC;&#x153;loving husband and fatherâ&#x20AC;? is how our community and history will remember him now that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gone. Is there anything I can do to get some form of the truth out there? â&#x20AC;&#x201C;

Angry In Tennessee Dear Angry: Yes, there is. Just keep talking, and the word will get around. Dear Readers: To those of you living where daylight saving time is observed, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m offering this gentle reminder: Turn your clocks forward one hour at bedtime tonight. Daylight saving time begins at 2 a.m. tomorrow, and you know what that means â&#x20AC;&#x201C; spring is on the way!

Dear Dr. K: Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that time of year when the gloom of late winter sends my mood plummeting. What can I do about seasonal affective disorder? Dear Reader: Summer is a time when many of us take vacations, and for younger people, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time out of school. So lots of people feel a pang of regret when summer ends. I always do. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s normal. But some actually develop depression with the seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s change. This is known as seasonal affective disorder (SAD). SAD seems to be triggered by more limited exposure to daylight. Typically, it comes on during the late fall or winter months and subsides in the spring. Symptoms are similar to general depression. They include lethargy, loss of interest in once-pleasurable activities, interpersonal problems with friends and family members, irritability, inability to concentrate and a change in sleeping patterns, appetite or both. The mainstay of SAD treatment is light therapy, also called phototherapy. This involves daily sessions of sitting close to a special light source that is far more intense than normal indoor light. The recommendation is typically to get 30 minutes of exposure to an intensity of 10,000 lux (a measure of light) each day. But not everyone needs that much exposure. In this therapy, the light must enter through your eyes to be effective. Some people feel better after only one light

treatment, but most people require at least a few days of treatment. Some people even need several weeks. You can buy light therapy boxes without a prescription, but I recommend working with a professional who can monitor your response. Side effects are mild for many patients but may be more of a concern for others. In people who are vulnerable, bright light may trigger a so-called manic episode of abnormally elevated mood. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why mood-stabilizing medications are often recommended while undergoing light therapy. Likewise, since rashes can result, let your doctor know about any skin conditions that seem to be made worse by exposure to sun. Does light therapy work any better for SAD than antidepressant pills? There are

few studies of this question. For some of my patients, the choice of light therapy is based on a desire to avoid pills: Light therapy seems more natural. In my experience, light therapy doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work for everyone with SAD. Clearly, some people are more likely to respond positively, but we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t yet have any way of knowing who they are. One exception to that statement: If a person has responded positively to light therapy in the past, he or she is likely to benefit again in the future. If light therapy doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work for you, along with antidepressants, you should consider a form of talk therapy called cognitive behavioral therapy. For some people, combining these treatments with light therapy works better than any one of them individually.

Behar, Hasselbeck out THINGS

WORTH TALKIN’ ABOUT

Saturday, March 9, 2013 • PlanitNorthwest.com/buzz

Joy Behar will be enjoying “The View” for only five more months. US Weekly reports that Elisabeth Hasselbeck also will not be returning to the couch next season. According to the magazine, the show’s resident conservative voice is being ousted after market research revealed she isn’t popular with TV audiences. Behar, 70, is leaving the ABC daytime talk show at the end of the current season in August. The network said in a statement Thursday it wishes Behar “all the best in this next chapter, and are thrilled that we have her for the remainder of the season.” Behar has co-hosted the show for 16 seasons.

Harper consults ‘Doctors’

Bieber scuffles with paparazzi Justin Bieber’s week just got worse. After a brief hospital stay after fainting backstage, the 19-year-old pop star’s preparation for a final concert in London on Friday hit a speed bump. Bieber got into an altercation with insult-hurling paparazzi, lashing out at a photographer with a stream of expletives as he was restrained by minders. The singer quickly took to Twitter to address the incident, which was captured by Channel 5 news, and pledged to channel his “adrenaline” into his Friday show. “Ahhhhh! Rough morning. Trying to feel better for this show tonight but let the paps get the best of me,” he posted on the social networking site. “Sometimes when people r shoving cameras in your face all day and yelling the worst thing possible at u...well I’m human. Rough week.” The scuffle came just hours after Bieber said he was “getting better” after struggling to breathe during the previous night’s concert at the O2 arena, and pledged the show would go on as planned. A spokesman for the O2 Arena said the 19-year-old pop star was treated backstage during Thursday’s concert after becoming short of breath, but recovered and finished his set. “As far as we are concerned everything is on, on, on” for Friday’s show, Jeremy King said. “He was treated by our team of medics and after further examination they didn’t find anything more serious or worrying.” A spokeswoman for Bieber said he was recovering after Thursday’s incident, which saw him given oxygen before returning to the stage.

Actress Valerie Harper plans to discuss her brain cancer with some television doctors. The daytime talk show “The Doctors” said Harper will appear Monday to talk with Travis Stork, Lisa Masterson and Andrew Ordon, as well as her own team of doctors. Valerie Harper The 1970s sitcom star has been diagnosed with a rare brain cancer and told she has as little as three months to live. She said her husband briefly withheld the diagnosis from her because it was so dire. She’s given the full hour of Monday’s talk show, and is surprised by former co-stars Ed Asner and Cloris Leachman.

‘Dallas’ funeral for J.R. Who killed J.R.? That’s the mystery propelling “Dallas” through the rest of its second season as a TNT revival. And that question hangs heavy in the upcoming episode (airing 8 p.m. Monday), which confirms the sad truth every viewer knew was coming: glorious scoundrel J.R. Ewing has died, after decades of living-on-the-edge infamy dating back at least to 1980, when he was gunned down in his office and left for dead, with “Who shot J.R.?” the question on every viewer’s lips for months afterward. J.R.’s fate was sealed this time by the intrusion of reality. In November, Larry Hagman died of cancer at 81. And when he died, he took J.R. with him. So the new episode – surely the first without Hagman’s deliciously vile presence – stands as a fitting tribute both to him and to J.R., complete with a wake and a funeral for the rascally oil baron.

Stars perform at Prince tribute They partied like it was 1999 – the audience and the musicians – at a Prince tribute concert at Carnegie Hall. More than 20 performers, including Elvis Costello, The Roots and the Waterboys, paid tribute to the pop icon in a two-hour-plus concert Thursday night. They all joined together onstage to close the show with “1999.”

NORTHWEST HERALD BOYS SWIMMER OF THE YEAR

Monica Maschak – mmaschak@shawmedia.com

Cary-Grove senior Michael Hamann finished fourth in the state meet in the 200-yard individual medley and qualified for state in the 100 butterfly, 200 medley relay and 400 freestyle relay. He is a four-time state qualifier and will be attending the University of Pennsylvania to swim in the fall.

Reflections of his success By PATRICK MASON

C-G senior Hamann made goal come true

pmason@shawmedia.com

s a 6-year-old, Michael Hamann started swimming competitvely for club teams. By 14, he set a zone record as part of a relay. Since then, he has qualified for state all four high school seasons but made his biggest mark this year. It’s safe to say the Cary-Grove se-

nior feels at home in the pool. But not every body of water. “It’s quite ironic,” his mother Linda Hamann said. “When he was about 9 he was feeding fish off the pier, dropping in graham crackers, when a fish started to nibble at his toes. He got up and ran and ever since then he had been afraid of the fish and won’t swim in any sort of lake. “You would think that since he’s

such a talented swimmer he would swim anywhere, but unless he is seriously convinced by his friends, he won’t go swimming in a lake.” His grandparents have a house on Lake Geneva in Wisconsin, so before his mom brought him to visit for the first time she wanted to make sure that he was water-safe. She started him in swim lessons at the age of 2. “Right away, you could tell that he

loved the water and was very comfortable in it,” Linda said. At the start of his senior season, C-G co-op coach Rick Schaefer took his team on a bonding trip to the Devil’s Lake State Park camping grounds in Wisconsin. When Schaefer asked the kids to write down their goals for the season Hamann didn’t hesitate.

Hawks’ streaks end in big way By ARNIE STAPLETON The Associated Press DENVER – The best start in NHL history is over. The Blackhawks finally left the ice without a point. The Hawks were stunned, 6-2, by the struggling Colorado Avalanche on Friday night. It was their first loss in regulation and ended a remarkable run in which they earned at least one point in their first 24 games, an NHL record. Matt Duchene scored four points and Ryan O’Reilly got his first goal since his contract dispute was resolved more than a week ago. O’Reilly assisted on another goal in a fourgoal onslaught in the second period that turned a 1-1 tie into a laugher. The Hawks (21-1-3) hadn’t lost in regulation since a 6-1 rout by Nashville on March

Dating to last regular season, the streak was 30 games. The Hawks’ overall points streak was the second longest in NHL history. The 1979-80 Philadelphia Flyers set the league record with a staggering 35-game unbeaten streak that included 25 wins and 10 ties – all in the same season.

Belinelli lifts Bulls over Jazz Late 3 helps hide miscues

Next for the Bulls Bulls at L.A. Lakers, 2:30 p.m. Sunday, ABC, AM-1000

By JAY COHEN The Associated Press CHICAGO – Marco Belinelli took a deep breath and exhaled as a grateful Carlos Boozer gave him a big hug. This was one big shot for the Bulls. Belinelli made a 3-pointer with 5.9 seconds left to lift the Bulls to an important 89-88 victory over the Utah Jazz on Friday night. “We didn’t play well in the last quarter, we had some turnovers and made some mis-

takes on defense, but we found a way to win the game,” Belinelli said. “Just keep moving right now.” The Italian guard missed a potential tying jumper but got a second chance when Joakim Noah grabbed the rebound. Jimmy Butler then came away with a loose ball and swung it back out to the corner, and Belinelli hit the fallaway 3 to put the Bulls in front to stay.

“The first two shots I took in the last couple of minutes, I missed the shots,” said Belinelli, who has scored the winning basket in the final 10 seconds of three games this season. “I’m not scared about that situation. I can take that shot.” “I didn’t think much in the last shot from the corner,” he continued. “I was just ready to shoot the ball.” Gordon Hayward missed a jumper on the other end, and Butler secured the rebound as the horn sounded. Al Jefferson scored 23 points in his return to the lineup for Utah, which has dropped six of seven. Marvin Williams had 14 points and 10 rebounds, and fellow reserve Derrick Favors added 11 points

and 10 rebounds. “It’s frustrating, it’s difficult, but the positive thing is we were in a position to win the game,” Jazz coach Tyrone Corbin said. “Guys are playing hard. They did a good job of giving us a chance to win. We fought back again tonight, took the lead. We didn’t capitalize on it again. We have to continue to work.” The Jazz have dropped the first three games of a fourgame road trip by a total of five points. They face the New York Knicks tonight. “If a couple things in all three games would have went differently we would have been 3-0 on this trip, but it didn’t work out,” Jefferson said.

James helps Heat win 17th straight Thibodeau: Rose ‘not quite’ ready By TIM REYNOLDS The Associated Press MIAMI – So many streaks. And the Miami Heat made sure they all survived. LeBron James scored 25 points and grabbed 10 rebounds, Dwyane Wade added 22 points, and the Heat pulled away late to beat Philadelphia, 102-93, on Friday night – their 12th straight regular-season win over Philadelphia, their 13th in a row at home and most importantly, their 17th straight victory overall. For good measure, it all came on a night where James got to take the final 8 minutes off, a bit of unplanned rest that started with the outcome not

exactly decided, either. “We got better tonight,” James said. “And that’s the most important thing.” Chris Bosh scored 16 points, Ray Allen added 12 and Shane Battier scored 11 for the Heat, who matched the 12th-longest winning streak in NBA history and became the first team in the league to clinch a playoff spot this season. James went to the bench with 8:02 left and with the Heat only leading by eight. Philadelphia never got any closer than that from there, and James wound up logging his 11th-shortest night of the season in terms of minutes, playing about 34 on Friday.

Crawford allows 5 goals before being taken out • HAWKS Continued from page C1 Duchene, John Mitchell and Jamie McGinn also put pucks past Corey Crawford in the second period for the Avalanche, who had lost six of their previous seven, including a 3-2 heartbreaker at Chicago 48 hours earlier. Crawford (11-1-3) allowed five goals on 19 shots before being replaced in net by Ray Emery to start the third period. Semyon Varlamov had 30 saves for Colorado. The Avalanche nearly ended the spectacular streak in Chicago on Wednesday night before the Hawks pulled out the win when Daniel Carcillo scored the tiebreaking goal with 49.3 seconds left. The Hawks were skating without three key forwards and playing its second game in two nights then. There was no such comeback Friday night at the Pepsi Center, where a good portion

of the sellout crowd was rooting for the Hawks, who hadn’t allowed more than four goals in a game this season. The crowd chanted, “End of streak! End of streak!” over the final minutes. Bryan Bickell’s goal with 11:07 left made it 5-2. He nearly scored again from the same spot 90 seconds later, but Varlamov smothered the shot. The teams got into a scuffle with 5:04 left after Bickell squared off with Gabriel Landeskog, who had checked Duncan Keith in the back. P.A. Parenteau’s 10th goal of the season made it 6-2. The Hawks’ Jonathan Toews got the scoring started when he knocked the puck past Varlamov after a turnover on a give-and-go with forward Marian Hossa, who returned from an upper-body injury. Colorado (9-10-4) tied it when Paul Stastny, who was between the circles, tipped a pass from Duchene into the net.

By ANDREW SELIGMAN The Associated Press DEERFIELD – Injured Bulls star Derrick Rose is “not quite” ready to return from his knee injury, coach Tom Thibodeau said Friday. The 2011 NBA MVP continues to practice without restrictions, but his return from a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee remains up in the air. “He’s been cleared to do everything there is,” Thibodeau said before the Bulls hosted the Utah Jazz at the United Center. “Before he makes the final step, everyone has to get together and sign off. That hasn’t happened yet. The most important part of this is that we have to trust Derrick, and I trust him.” ESPNChicago.com reported Friday that Rose’s doctor has cleared him to play, but he has told the team he won’t until he can dunk with confidence off his left foot. Thibodeau said a decision “hasn’t been finalized yet.” Thibdodeau was noncommittal when asked if he expects Rose to play this season, saying the Bulls are prepared either way. “I just want him to do what he has been doing, which is put everything you have into each day,” he said. “He’s practiced well. He’s got to keep doing it, and when he goes, he goes. We can’t wait on him. We have to find ways to win now. Hopefully, at some point, he’ll be ready to go. He’s put a lot of work in. No one wants to play more than he does. We have to trust him.” Rose tore the ACL in his left knee in

The Bulls’ Derrick Rose goes through pregame warmups Wednesday before a game against the Spurs in San Antonio. last year’s playoff opener against Philadelphia, sending the top-seeded Bulls toward a first-round exit, and his recovery has been an ongoing soap opera, particularly in recent weeks. He first said in an interview with USA Today in February that he was “far away, far away” from being ready, then told a group of reporters that he won’t rush back just to play this season if he isn’t ready. Rose then began participating in fiveon-five drills in practice and sitting on the

bench during games. But his reputation took a hit when his older brother Reggie ripped the Bulls in an interview with ESPNChicago.com, saying the team’s decision to stand pat at the trade deadline could be a “big factor” in whether Derrick returns this season. Rose obviously has to feel comfortable that he’s ready to return, but the decision is not his alone. “There’s a lot of people that have to decide,” Thibodeau said.

forward Friday with allegations against Andy Gabel, telling The Associated Press she was raped at age 15 by the one-time leader of the U.S. short track program, then manipulated into an illicit three-year relationship that ended at the 1994 Lillehammer Olympics. Nikki Meyer, who was known by her maiden name of Nikki Ziegelmeyer when she won short track relay medals for the U.S. at the Albertville and Lillehammer Games, delivered the most recent accusations against Gabel, a medalist himself who competed in four Olympics, was a former president of U.S. Speedskating and, until last week, held a prominent position at the International Skating Union. “He wasn’t a hero. He wasn’t the god of

speedskating,” Meyer, now 37, told the AP in an hour-long telephone interview from her hometown in suburban St. Louis. “He’s a child molester. He’s a rapist. He’s a sexual abuser. He’s a pedophile. By no means should anybody think he is anything more than that.” Gabel, now 48, issued a statement to the AP acknowledging he made mistakes during his skating career, but strongly denied forcing himself on anyone. Last week, speedskater Bridie Farrell told Milwaukee public radio station WUWM that she had an improper relationship with Gabel during the 1990s, starting when she was also 15 and he was 33. – Staff, wire reports

RUSSO The Associated Press NEW YORK – The Big East made its split official Friday, with seven basketball schools breaking away from the football-playing members in a deal that takes effect July 1. Commissioner Mike Aresco told The Associated Press the seven Catholic schools that are leaving to form a basketball-centric conference will get the Big East name, along with the opportunity to play their league tournament in Madison Square Garden. The football members, most of which are newcomers to a conference that has been ravaged by realignment, get a cash haul of roughly $100 million. That group includes just one founding Big East member – Connecticut – and will have to find a name for what is essentially a new league. “It’s been an arduous four months but we got to the right place,” Aresco said in a phone interview. “I think

both conferences have good futures.” Aresco, who will remain commissioner of the football league, would not disclose the financial part of the settlement. A person familiar with the negotiations told the AP earlier this week that the football schools will receive about $100 million from a $110 million stash the conference had built up over the last two and a half years through exit and entry fees as well as NCAA men’s basketball tournament funds. Aresco said the football schools have not chosen a conference name and there are no favorites yet. “We can get on with reinventing ourselves and re-establishing our brand,” he said. He also said they have not determined how the money from the separation agreement will be split among the members. The person familiar with the negotiations said the bulk of the money will go to holdover members Cincinnati, Connecticut and South Florida.

BIG TEN WOMEN’S BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT

Iowa’s Dixon scores 18, but Nebraska wins big The ASSOCIATED PRESS HOFFMAN ESTATES – Johnsburg High School graduate Melissa Dixon scored 18 points a day after being held scoreless, but it couldn’t prevent Iowa’s women’s basketball team from losing Friday to No. 21 Nebraska, 7661, in the quarterfinals of the Big Ten tournament. Jordan Hooper scored 24 points to lead Nebraska. Lindsey Moore had 13 points and six assists, and Emily Cady had eight rebounds and six assists for the Huskers (23-7), the second seed in the tournament. In the Big Ten semifinals, Nebraska will face third-seeded Purdue,

which defeated Wisconsin, 74-62, in the second quarterfinal game. Hooper also grabbed seven rebounds to help Nebraska take a 44-30 advantage on the boards. The Huskers shot 46 percent from the field, and the Hawkeyes shot 38 percent. Theairra Taylor scored 22 points to lead Iowa (20-12). Rachel Theriot’s 3-pointer just before halftime gave Nebraska a 34-24 lead, and the Huskers led by as many as 27 points in the second half. No. 8 Penn State, the top seed, defeated Ohio State, 76-66, and will face fourth-seeded Michigan State in today’s second semifinal. Michigan State beat Michigan, 62-46, on Friday.

Dubuque’s Whiting named to 4th all-conference team • ON CAMPUS Continued from page C1 beyond the 3-point line, where he made only seven shots as a junior. “Three times a week (in the offseason), I was taking 300 to 500 shots,”Krutwig said. “That’s how good shooters get better.” This season, Krutwig is the top 3-point shooter for a team that is experiencing a major turnaround after an 8-18 season a year ago that included a 1-17 GLVC record. This season, the Rangers (20-7) went 14-4 in regular-season conference play, winning seven games against ranked teams. Parkside won its 20th game of the season Mollie Thursday night, a Whiting 65-56 victory against Kentucky Wesleyan in the GLVC tournament quarterfinals. “It’s been great beating nationally ranked teams and being national ranked,” said Krutwig, whose team was ranked 17th this week by the National Association of Basketball Coaches. “We won one conference game last year. Once we got a couple of wins (this season), we started to believe in each other.” Krutwig ranks second on the team in scoring (11.5 points a game) and rebounding (5.6). On Thursday, he hit three 3-pointers among his 12 points. He also added seven rebounds in 24 minutes. Krutwig’s 43 threes are a team high for the second-seeded Rangers, who will play in the GLVC semifinals at 2:30 p.m. today against Southern Indiana. “It’s been a lot of fun this season,” said Krutwig, who has started 52 games over the past two seasons. “I’m just being more aggressive. I’m looking for my shot a little more. Any time the opportunity is there, it’s going up.” Whiting earns Iowa honor: After a record-setting season for D-III University of Dubuque’s women’s basketball team, Woodstock graduate Mollie Whiting was named first-team All-Iowa Intercollegiate Athletic Conference. The honor was the fourth consecutive season in which Whiting made an all-conference team and her second consecutive year on the first

team. This season, Whiting led the conference in scoring (23.8 points a game) and scored at least 20 points a game in Dubuque’s final 18 games of the season. While leading her team to the IIAC championship game, Whiting set school records for points in a career (1,737) and a season (667) and career made field goals (669). Able Ace Kaczmarski: Prairie Ridge grad Kevin Kaczmarski is batting a team-high .368 this season for D-I Evansville’s baseball team. Kaczmarski, a sophomore outfielder, also leads the Aces (3-7) with a .553 slugging percentage, 14 hits, five doubles and three stolen bases. On Sunday, Kaczmarski was 3 for 4 with two RBIs in a 13-1 win against Wisconsin-Milwaukee. He ranks sixth in the Missouri Valley Conference in stolen bases and seventh in total bases (21) this season. Beck all-conference: D-III Lake Forest College senior men’s basketball guard Jeff Beck was named Feb. 27 to the All-Midwest Conference first team. A Dundee-Crown grad, Beck led the conference in minutes played (34.3), ranked third in scoring (18.1 points a game), and seventh in assists (3.6) and 3-point field-goal percentage (45.3). He also was ninth in steals (1.4). Beck started 92 games in his career and surpassed the 1,000-point plateau this season for the Foresters (7-16). With 1,116 career points, Beck ranks 13th in the program’s history. Ott sets record: Marian Central grad Jackie Ott of St. Xavier set a school record and finished 10th in the 1,000-meter event March 2 at the NAIA indoor national preliminaries in Geneva, Ohio. Ott ran a school-best time of 3:00.7 seconds in the event, narrowly missing the finals. Ott also ran the 800 leg on SXU’s distance medley relay team, which posted a school-record time of 12:20.76 to finish third in its heat and 10th overall in the prelims. • Barry Bottino writes a weekly column and a blog about local college athletes for the Northwest Herald.

Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel warms up Tuesday during a spring practice at the school’s indoor practice facility in College Station, Texas.

EXPERTS SAY ...

Collegians couldn’t match pros’ endorsement deals By RACHEL COHEN The Associated Press Money and Manziel are often mentioned together these days. When talk turns to insurance policies or trademark infringement lawsuits involving the Heisman Trophy winner nicknamed Johnny Football, debate inevitably ensues about the fairness of NCAA amateurism rules that prevent college sports stars from cashing in on their fame. But putting aside those arguments for a moment leaves a simple question: Just how many dollars is a player like the Texas A&M quarterback missing out on? Imagine a hypothetical world where suddenly athletes are able to sign endorsement deals while maintaining their eligibility. Manziel could be shooting commercials in between spring practice workouts this week. Companies would need to determine just how much these guys would be worth as pitchmen. According to several marketing experts, the value even for a player as dynamic and wellknown as Manziel would not rival that of pro stars. “I don’t think it’s an issue where the sky’s the limit,” said David Carter, the executive director of the USC Marshall Sports Business Institute. The biggest drawback, Carter and others say, is that even if the NCAA rules ever changed, the athletes would still have to deal with fans’ perception that college is different from the pros. Manziel himself acknowledged the same challenges when asked what a

player would do if faced with that option. “I think it’s a tough situation,” Manziel said, “and that’s why it’s how it is today.” Manziel is an interesting test case because of his unique appeal. The first freshman to win the Heisman, he toils in the high-profile SEC and has that catchy nickname. For a sense of Manziel’s allure, consider the TV ratings for January’s Cotton Bowl on Fox – an Aggies victory over Oklahoma that turned into a blowout in the second half. It was watched by almost 12 million viewers, up nearly 42 percent from the previous year’s Kansas State-Arkansas matchup. Most telling, the audience was significantly bigger than for two of the BCS bowls, the Orange and the Sugar. “Generally speaking, it’s more the records and the performance on the field as a team than it is the individuals that play,” said CBS Sports Chairman Sean McManus, whose network has the good fortune of owning rights to SEC games. “But periodically a player will emerge, and Johnny is the latest one to emerge.” A top NFL player can hope for endorsement deals starting in the $1 million to $2 million a year range, said Jack Plunkett, CEO of market research firm Plunkett Research. One challenge for a college player in trying to match that in this imaginary scenario is he wouldn’t be the only one suddenly available to sponsors. Someone like Manziel may be the

brightest of stars, but the market would also be flooded with other – not quite as popular, but not as expensive – athletes. But the broader problem is that while fans may feel bad that athletes aren’t paid amid the money swirling around college sports, they still may experience discomfort at those same guys pitching a car or beverage. “My gut feeling is people don’t want to see college athletes endorsing products,” Plunkett said. Steve Rosner, a partner at sports marketing firm 16W Marketing, said many companies might consider college kids too young to be a good fit for many things they’re trying to sell. “A lot of categories who might be interested in him might be looking for someone with more experience in life in general,” he said. What would likely work best is the so-called “tools of the trade” – apparel, sneakers, equipment. In fact, those are generally the kinds of deals top draft picks sign before they play in a league. And for those players, while their value is partly based on their potential as pro athletes, it also reflects their fame as college stars. Carter speculated that a college athlete who signed on with too many companies would invite ridicule from alums wondering if shooting commercials was a distraction. For now, this is all truly hypothetical, since the NCAA has made clear its commitment to amateurism. But, as Carter said, “it’s fun to talk about in theory.”

Schaefer: Hamann ‘best person’ I’ve coached • HAMANN Continued from page C1 Already a three-time state qualifier before his senior season, there wasn’t much he hadn’t accomplished, but one had always eluded him. “My biggest goals were a top-six finish at state in the 200 individual medley. It’s something I haven’t gotten to do,” Hamann said, “and we were hoping to get a relay in the top-12 as well.” Hamann swam a full slate of events after qualifying for state in the 200-yard IM, 100 butterfly, 200 medley relay and 400 freestyle relay. He narrowly missed making the second day in the butterfly, but he made the finals for the IM as a the third seed and placed fourth after swimming a 1:52.75 in the final race of his high school career. He was the area’s only swimmer to advance to Saturday’s finals. For his accomplishments, Hamann is the Northwest Herald Boys Swimmer of the Year. He is the area’s most-decorated swimmer and someone whom Schaefer called “the best person I have had the privilege to coach.” Throughout high school, it was common to see Hamann’s name next to a first-place finish. But he wanted to be great. To do so he put on seven to 10 pounds of lean muscle in the offseason while doing a lot of

stretching, getting massages once a month and even taking up pilates. Swimmers can’t afford to be too bulky, so he made sure to stay limber. “Every day I worked hard,” Hamann said. “I had a sheet that told me my times from each meet last year and I would see my pace and how fast I was going every meet. I wanted to be ahead of last year’s times Michael and I was always Hamann working harder and harder to make sure I continued to push myself.” It could have been easy to get a big head after fielding numerous interviews this season while seeing his name atop headlines, but he credits his parents with keeping him grounded and teaching him the values he proudly displays. He greets people with a smile, has a near-perfect GPA and scored a 34 on his ACT his junior year. “My parents are hard workers, and it’s something I was born with, too,” he said. “I always had the ability to focus on something to make sure I get it right. They told me, ‘Whatever you’re going to do, make sure you do it as best as you can,’ and that’s how I lived my life as long as I can remember.” Next season, Hamann will

swim at the University of Pennsylvania, an Ivy League school that has multiple nationally ranked teams in the conference, and attend the Wharton School of Business. “When he proved to be a good student academically, that was when we realized that his swimming and academics might come hand-in-hand,” Linda Hamann said. “We always pushed him academically first, and we couldn’t be more proud of him for what he has accomplished.” Michael Hamann saw swimming as an opportunity. “My whole goal from the beginning (of the college search) was to use my swimming to get me to a place I normally wouldn’t have gotten,” he said. “Being presented with an Ivy League opportunity is something that is even hard to dream about.” Hamann took an official visit to Duke and Penn and was considering Columbia, but when he stepped foot on Penn’s campus he fell in love. And it was Hamann’s versatility that had Quakers coach Mike Schnur excited. “He recruited me because he saw that I was so versatile,” said Hamann, who has swum the backstroke, butterfly and IM at an elite level. “He said that during the Ivy League championships he can fill me in wherever he needed to, and he liked that.”

WHITE SOX, CUBS GAMES CANCELED, RAIN

Peavy pitches simulated game before rain comes By SCOTT BAIR The Associated Press

The New York Yankees’ Derek Jeter, who suffered a broken ankle in last year’s postseason, throws Tuesday during a workout before a spring training game against the Atlanta Braves in Tampa, Fla.

YANKEES

Ailing Yankees creak toward Opening Day Injuries to top players, age take toll on N.Y. By BEN WALKER The Associated Press As Derek Jeter dug in against Andy Pettitte, a familiar voice boomed from the top step of the dugout. “Hundred bucks if you drill him!” former teammate David Wells hollered. The way things are going lately for the New York Yankees, it’s a surprise some mishap didn’t occur. Instead, Jeter batted six times – without incident – during Pettitte’s simulated outing Friday at the team’s spring training complex in Tampa, Fla. Already missing Alex Rodriguez when they came to camp, the Yankees have been struck by a startling series of injuries since arriving. They’ve been hit so hard, it’s no wonder their 3-10 record in exhibition play is the worst in the American League. Curtis Granderson broke his arm in his first exhibition at-bat and is out until May. Fellow All-Star Mark Teixeira also is sidelined until May after straining his right wrist swinging a weighted bat during warmups for the World Baseball Classic. “Those are two guys you can’t replace. I mean, let’s get serious,” outfielder Brett Gardner said. Reliever David Robertson has a sore shoulder, the result of sleeping on it wrong. And the topper seemed to come when general manager Brian Cashman broke his leg while skydiving in Florida. “That just confirms that I will never jump out of an airplane,” Jeter said. “It’s a freak thing, man. That’s scary. I have a scooter and a wheelchair if he wants to use it.” The offer might stand for the rest of the AL East champs, too. “It’s crazy,” ace CC Sabathia said. “It’s been a tough spring so far, but we’ll just have to try to hold the fort down until both [Teixeira] and Curt are able to get back on the field, get healthy. It’s going to be a tough, first couple weeks without them, but we’ll get through it. “I guess there’s a lot more stuff that can go wrong, but geez, Curt getting hurt, and Tex getting hurt swinging a bat in the cage. It’s just crazy.” The 38-year-old Jeter still hasn’t played in a spring game while rehabbing from his broken ankle in the AL championship series sweep by Detroit. The 40-year-old Pettitte was hobbled for nearly three months last season because of a broken leg. And the Yankees’ longtime savior, 43-yearold closer Mariano Rivera, is expected to announce today that this will be his last season. He missed most of last year after tearing up his knee. Not a lot of wiggle room for manager Joe Girardi’s bunch as opening day approaches, on April 1 at Yankee Stadium against the revamped Boston Red Sox. “A lot of times, you look at injuries, you never want to see them. But I’ll take an injury now going into the season rather than later in

The Yankees are without first baseman Mark Teixeira, who suffered a wrist injury preparing for the World Baseball Classic with Team USA. the season,” newcomer Kevin Youkilis said. “The good thing is, you don’t win or lose a season in April. You win or lose seasons in September. For me personally, there’s been teams that are in first place every year in April and a lot of times they never make it all the way through,” he said. Normally one of baseball’s biggest offseason players, the Yankees had a real quiet winter while trying to keep their payroll at about $200 million. Rather, they watched their roster take quite a few hits. Rafael Soriano, who posted 42 saves while filling in for Rivera, signed with Washington. Postseason star Raul Ibanez left, as did starting catcher Russell Martin, popular right fielder Nick Swisher and valuable Eric Chavez. For a team that often relies on power, that’s quite an outage when coupled with the injuries to Rodriguez, Granderson and Teixeira. Put it this way: Of the 10 players who reached double-digits in home runs last season, only Robinson Cano and Jeter will be on the opening-day roster. “There’s many ways of scoring runs,” outfielder Ichiro Suzuki, still fleet at 39, said through a translator. “Those home runs might be less this year. You have to become a team that can score in many different ways.” A big step forward would be a complete recovery by Jeter. The surgeon who repaired his ankle gave the star shortstop full clearance this week to resume all activity. “It’s always reassuring when someone says that something is not broken anymore. So, it’s just getting through the normal aches and pains that come around it,” Jeter said. • AP freelance writer Mark Didtler contributed to this report.

GLENDALE, Ariz. – With rain forecast, the White Sox had Jake Peavy pitch a simulated game Friday rather than wait around for the exhibition against the San Diego Padres, which was washed out after three innings. Peavy threw 60 pitches to hitters that included Adam Dunn, and took inning breaks, as he would in a normal game. “I got just as much or more out of that than any spring game that I’ll pitch in,” he said. “It was a structured environment, so I was able to use the pitches I needed without the plan being change by the hitter. I kept up a good pace and threw hard. I’m glad we were able to get it in and get some work done without resorting to a batting cage. It was a good day today.” San Diego’s Carlos Quentin made his spring training debut after offseason surgery on his right knee. He had two at-bats before the rain caused the game to be canceled with the Sox leading, 4-1. Quentin was hit by a pitch – he’s been hit 117 times during the regular season in seven years – and lined out to center. “It was nice to get some adrenaline going and track some pitches from an opposing pitcher,” Quentin said. “I got some good practice and am figuring out my swing. This is a step toward preparing for the 162 games out there waiting for us.” Notes: The game won’t count in spring training statistics because it didn’t go 4 1/2 innings. ... Padres right-hander Andrew Cashner, recovering from a cut thumb suffered during an offseason hunting accident, is expected to pitch in his first game of the year Sunday. San Diego outfielder Mark Kotsay played in the outfield for the first time this year after being confined to DH duties. Cubs’ Hairston homers: At Goodyear, Ariz., Scott Hairston homered for the Cubs before their game against a split squad of Cincinnati Reds was rained out in the second inning with the score 1-all Friday night.

The grounds crew removes the tarp before a spring training game between the White Sox and San Diego Padres on Friday in Glendale, Ariz. The game was rained out. Hairston homered in the first off Tony Cingrani. Neftali Soto put the Reds ahead with a sacrifice fly. The game was stopped after a 33-minute rain delay. After Hairston homered, Alfonso Soriano doubled and Luis Valbuena walked, but Cingrani got Dioner Navarro to pop up. Nick Struck, the Cubs’ minor league pitcher of the year, started and walked Shin-Soo Choo. Emmanuel Burris, filling in for Brandon Phillips, singled and Jay Bruce loaded the bases with a single. Soto, who has played first base in the absence of Joey Votto, hit a sacrifice fly to tie it.

WORLD BASEBALL CLASSIC NOTES

Selig hopes baseball will globalize soon The ASSOCIATED PRESS PHOENIX – Baseball commissioner Bud Selig would like to see a true World Series someday. Speaking during a late game between the United States and Mexico in the World Baseball Classic Friday night, Selig said he would like to see baseball globalize and called the idea of a worldwide championship “breathtaking.” He said a true World Series is a long way off, but with the popularity of baseball in places like Japan and Korea, the sport might not be recognizable in a decade or so. Selig added that a potential real World Series between the U.S. and Japan would only make baseball stronger worldwide. He also he would like to

see baseball as an Olympic sport, but it wouldn’t be practical because the season here would stop for more than two weeks. Italy drubs Canada: At Phoenix,, look who’s off to a 2-0 start at the World Baseball Classic. Italy, which had never won more than a game in either of the two previous Classics, followed its come-from-behind win over Mexico on Thursday night with a 14-4 thumping of Canada on Friday to go to 2-0 in Group D competition before the United States had even played a game. Chris Colabello drove in four runs with four hits, including a three-run homer, to lead the rout. Italy scored eight runs after Canada cut the lead to 6-4

in the top of the seventh. The game was called under the tournament’s “mercy rule” after Italy scored five times in the eighth to make it a 10-run game.

Puerto Rico blanks Spain: At San Juan, Puerto Rico, it wasn’t the blowout everyone expected. Carlos Beltran’s RBI double keyed a three-run first inning and a trio of Puerto Rico pitchers combined on a five-hitter in a 3-0 victory over Spain at the World Baseball Classic on Friday. In the tournament opener for both teams, Angel Pagan got Puerto Rico started with a leadoff single against Sergio Perez. One out later, Alex Rios was hit by a pitch and Beltran drove in Pagan with a double to right.

WGC: CADILLAC CHAMPIONSHIP

More birdies for Tiger, lead at midpoint Woods enters weekend with 2-stroke edge By DOUG FERGUSON The Associated Press DORAL, Fla. – Tiger Woods struggled on the practice range, and he didn’t feel much better two holes into his second round Friday at the Cadillac Championship. He would not have guessed this would be the day to set a personal record for birdies, much less wind up with a two-shot lead. “All I need is one shot,” he said. “And as soon as I feel it on one, I can pretty much carry through. And I did that today.” It was a 4-iron on the par3 fourth hole, the toughest on the Blue Monster. Woods hit a bullet with a slight fade at the left edge of the green and heard the crowd cheer as the slope and the grain took the ball to within 4 feet for birdie. And just like that, he was on his way. In a World Golf Championship with the biggest names in the hunt, Woods ran off six birdies in an eight-hole stretch around the turn in a clean, crisp exhibition. That sent him to a 7-under-par 65 and a two-shot lead over former U.S. Open champion Graeme McDowell. Woods has made 17 birdies in two rounds, his most ever on the PGA Tour, though that wasn’t the most important number. “It left me a two-shot lead,” Woods said. He was at 13-under 131, his lowest 36-hole score on tour since the 2009 AT&T National. Woods followed that 4-iron with a wedge he stuffed to inside 2 feet. He added a collection of 10- to 15-foot birdie putts, and ended his big run

with another 4-iron with a totally different shape, this one high and soft to 15 feet on the 224-yard 13th hole. Those par 3s ranked as the two toughest at Doral on Friday, and he birdied them both. A birdie-birdie finish by McDowell gave him a 67 and prevented a dream final group for the weekend at Doral – Woods and longtime nemesis Phil Mickelson. Mickelson, sparked by a visit to Augusta National earlier in the week, hit a 9-iron that stopped inches from dropping for a hole-in-one on the par3 ninth. He had a 67 and was three shots behind, along with Steve Stricker (67). Rory McIlroy showed signs of turning the corner with a 69, although he ended with a sloppy three-putt bogey. It was his first round under par this year, a small consolation for the world’s No. 1 player. He was still 11 shots behind Woods. Woods, who once owned these WGCs, has not won the last 10 he’s played. But after a key putting tip from Stricker on Wednesday afternoon, Woods looks as comfortable as ever on a Blue Monster course where he has won three times. “It’s going to be tough to

catch him,” Stricker said. “We all know when he gets out in front, he’s tough to catch and tough to beat. Looks like he’s playing well. Looks like all parts of his game are working. Yeah, he’s going to be tough to catch.” The toughest part of the weekend might be the Blue Monster. The greens already are firm and crusty under a week of sunshine and dry air. Woods, McDowell and most everyone else expects it to only get worse. “I guess they can let this place go since they’re going to tear it up on Monday,” McDowell said. Donald Trump, who bought the resort a year ago, plans a big makeover on the Blue Monster with construction to start right after the tournament. If that’s the case, it could be reminiscent of Bay Hill a year ago, where Woods outlasted McDowell on the final day. “It basically was a U.S. Open that broke out in Orlando,” Woods said. “We don’t get too many opportunities where the weather cooperates, where they can push the golf course to a point where it’s pretty tough like that.” Not that he would mind. Woods has thrived on the toughest courses over the years, one reason he has 14 majors. “It would be fun,” he said. More fun is being atop the leaderboard, especially on a course where Woods has a history of winning. He has a 3510 record when he has at least a share of the 36-hole lead, though he is only 2-2 in the last AP photo year.

Waiting for real Gen-6 test spin By GREG BEACHAM The Associated Press

U.S. freestyle wrestler Jordan Burroughs wears a typical wrestling singlet. The sport is considering changing the look of singlets for Greco-Roman and freestyle wrestling for the Olympics.

WRESTLING

Sport considers changing singlet By STEPHEN WILSON The Associated Press LONDON – Kicked out of the Olympics and desperately trying to get back in, wrestling hopes a wardrobe change will wow those set to rule on the sport’s fate. The acting head of wrestling’s governing body said Friday the federation is negotiating with manufacturers to produce a new singlet – the skimpy sleeveless T-shirt worn by competitors – that will reduce sweat and look different for Greco-Roman and freestyle events. It’s a sign of how far the sport is ready to go to regain its spot in the Olympics after being cut from the 2020 Games last month by the IOC executive board. “I want to change the singlets to modernize them,” acting FILA president Nenad Lalovic told The Associated Press. “Sweat is really a problem for the wrestlers. By the end of the match they cannot make grabs, especially for the Greco-Roman. “Also that will help to distinguish immediately the Greco-Roman wrestler from the freestyle wrestler.” Currently, Olympic wres-

tlers in both disciplines wear either red or blue one-piece singlets. Lalovic said FILA also is working on proposals to include women and active athletes on its decision-making body and make changes to competition formats and venues. “We want to find something that will make our sport much more watchable and understandable,” Lalovic said. “We want spectators who come to the wrestling hall for the first time to know the rules by the end of the day.” The changes, which would take effect in 2014, will be voted on at an extraordinary FILA congress May 18 in Moscow – 10 days before the IOC executive board meets in St. Petersburg, Russia, to discuss the program for the 2020 Games. “We have to make changes to modernize our sport,” the Serbian official said in a telephone interview after chairing a FILA meeting in Vevey, Switzerland. “We have to show that something has changed and that we can implement it.” As part of the campaign, FILA is planning a “World Wrestling Day” on May 24 with national bodies organizing wrestling exhibitions and other events to promote the sport.

LAS VEGAS – A daylong rainstorm kept NASCAR’s teams mostly confined to their garages Friday at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Several drivers felt the rain was also the only thing protecting the track’s speed record from the new Gen-6 race car. Although Denny Hamlin’s criticism of the new car drew heavy attention and a hefty fine from NASCAR this week, most drivers think it’s too early to make any negative judgment about their speedy new rides. In fact, this weekend is the Gen-6’s first real chance to show what it’s got – and the drivers are eager to get rolling. “I think as we learn more and more about these cars and what makes them work and drive better, things can only get better as far as the product we put out there every week,” Dale Earnhardt Jr. said Friday. While Hamlin correctly pointed out how many adjustments still must be made to the car, many more drivers seem intrigued by the possibilities and potential in their eye-catching new vehicles. What’s more, NASCAR and its three manufacturers built the new car largely to improve racing on 1.5-mile intermediate tracks like the tri-oval in Vegas, where Brad Keselowski will start from the pole on Sunday. The first race in the Gen-6 was with restrictor plates at Daytona, a highbanked, 2.5-mile track. Its second outing was at Phoenix on a fairly flat, 1-mile track with few of the challenges drivers will face elsewhere. While Phoenix featured little passing or side-by-side racing, most drivers seem to think the quality of racing will improve on the intermediate tracks that make up most of

Qualifying was rained out. their schedule. “For a new car, I thought last week was a really good debut for it,” Tony Stewart said. “I personally think it’s off to a great start, and it’s got a lot of potential. We had good racing, we had a good finish, and everybody is going to keep learning. Everybody has their piece of the equation that they will figure out. You have to start somewhere, and for it to debut the way that it has, I think, has been a very positive start.” Although Hamlin’s pessimism got headlines this week largely because NASCAR spotlighted it by fining him $25,000, Earnhardt and Stewart are among the drivers who are encouraged by their early experience in the new cars – and Danica Patrick certainly isn’t complaining after winning her historic pole at Daytona. “We’re still learning a lot, even by ourselves, in trying to understand the

racetracks and how the car wants to be set up,” Jimmie Johnson said. “Then at these higher speeds, downforce-wise, this will be our first exposure to it (in Las Vegas). I tried to get around some cars. Things seem stable at least catching one car, but when you get all 43 in a big pack and the air is really swirling around, then the cars drive a lot different. There will be a lot of learning going on come Sunday.” The new cars are lighter and more aero-sensitive, but they’re definitely fast, too: After Patrick and Mark Martin barely missed the track speed records in qualifying for NASCAR’s first two races of the season, many drivers said they expected a Vegas record to fall Friday before the session was scrapped by rain. They barely missed the record during Thursday’s open test, a valuable resource for teams tweaking their cars for the season ahead.

NASCAR SPRINT CUP QUALIFYING

Keselowski on pole after qualifying rainout By GREG BEACHAM The Associated Press LAS VEGAS – Brad Keselowski will start on the pole after heavy rain forced NASCAR to cancel qualifying for Sunday’s NASCAR Sprint Cup race at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway. The track got steady rain all morning Friday and again in the early afternoon after a brief break, forcing NA-

SCAR to scrap practice and qualifying in Las Vegas for the first time. The speedway urged fans to take cover from rain, high wind and lightning when the afternoon storm broke over the desert north of the Strip. “I was just thinking when I walked in, with this being Vegas and all, what the odds would be of a rainout in Vegas,” Keselowski said. “I bet that was pretty high.”

Sunday’s field will be set by points and the NASCAR rule book, giving the pole to last season’s Sprint Cup series champion. The top 36 spots are set by owners’ points from last year, with the rest filled out by points or qualifying attempts. “That’s a really good deal,” said Keselowski, the first-time champ. “It’s one of the perks, I guess, of being the champion in the first few rac-

es. This is the first time I’ve had a decent starting position in a rainout.” Mike Bliss will miss the race because of the cancellation of qualifying. Keselowski will be on the front row alongside Clint Bowyer, last season’s second-place finisher. Daytona 500 champion Jimmie Johnson and teammate Kasey Kahne will be in the second row.

Peeps move through the manufacturing process at the Just Born factory in Bethlehem, Pa. With the storied candy brand celebrating its 60th anniversary this year, a quirky new TV ad campaign talks about all the things people do with their Peeps.

Hot chicks At 60, Peeps are more popular than ever By MICHAEL RUBINKAM Associated Press BETHLEHEM, Pa. – It’s Easter morning. A boy rouses his younger brother, and they run to the living room to find their baskets filled with — what else? — Peeps. “Peeps are THE candy of Easter,” the excited boy tells his wide-eyed sibling, who pops a yellow marshmallow chick in his mouth. “You can eat ‘em, smash ‘em, microwave ‘em, deep fry ‘em, roast ‘em on a stick,” the boy explains. That’s not all. You can make “historically accurate Peeps dioramas ... Peeps pop art ... You can make a Peeps topiary.” On he goes, all day and night. “Peeps jousting ... hide-and-go Peeps ... Peepshi ... that’s sushi made out of Peeps.” As the storied candy brand celebrates its 60th anniversary this year, Peeps’ first TV ad in a decade captures an essential truth about the spongy confection made of sugar, corn syrup and gelatin: Love them or hate them, people do all sorts of things with Peeps, only some of which involve giving them to kids at Easter or eating them straight from the box. And they’re not shy about sharing. “Everyone seems to have a Peeps story,” says Ross Born, third-generation operator of Just Born Inc., which hatches 5 million Peeps a day at its plant 60 miles north of Philadelphia. “And they are free and willing to talk about how they eat their Peeps, how they cure them, how they store them, how they decorate with them. And these are adults!” Just Born calls it the “Peepsonal-

Peeps are displayed in the Just Born factory in Bethlehem, Pa. ity” of consumers who buy Peeps not only to eat, but also to play around with. “If you had asked me about this 25 years ago, I would’ve been rather bewildered about the whole thing,” Born confesses. “We were candymakers.” Not that he’s complaining. Just Born had its best year financially in 2012. His grandfather, Russian immigrant Sam Born, started the candy company out of a Brooklyn storefront 90 years ago. Born advertised the freshness of his product with a sign that said “Just Born.” The name stuck. The burgeoning business moved to Bethlehem and acquired the Peeps brand with its 1953 purchase of Rodda Candy Co. of Lancaster. Best known for its jelly beans, Rodda had also introduced a small line of marshmallow chicks and bunnies, employing dozens of women who hand-squeezed them out of pastry bags. “It was really very difficult, and these women were strong,” said David Shaffer, Sam

Born’s nephew and co-CEO along with Ross Born. Ross’s father, Bob Born – a physicist and engineer by training – automated the process in the mid-1950s, and a version of the machine he invented is still in use today, extruding millions of those familiar shapes on peak-Peep production days. The company, whose other brands are Hot Tamales, Mike and Ike, and Goldenberg’s Peanut Chews, has never suffered an unprofitable year. But its growth has always been relatively slow, steady and controlled, and a few years ago, Born and Shaffer decided they wanted to accelerate it. The longtime partners brought in a new management team, spent heavily on marketing and broke back into the chocolate business, introducing chocolate-dipped Peeps as well as Peepsters, small chocolate candies filled with marshmallow-flavored cream. (New for this year is a yellow chick nestled in a hollow chocolate egg.) They also focused on holiday seasons other than Easter, particularly Christmas. The result: Shaffer says last year was “off the charts.” While Just Born is privately held and does not disclose revenue, he says it posted doubledigit growth across all brands. And Shaffer sees more growth potential as the confectioner works to position its products in warehouse clubs and convenience stores. Just Born certainly benefits from being part of a $33 billion candy industry that is seen as basically recessionproof, offering an inexpensive indulgence during tough economic times.

NEW YORK – A burst of hiring in February pushed stocks higher on Wall Street. The Dow Jones industrial average gained 67.58 points, or 0.5 percent, to 14,397.07. The index surpassed its previous record close Tuesday and logged a sixth straight increase Friday. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index rose 6.92 points, or 0.5 percent, to 1,551.18. The Nasdaq composite advanced 12.28 points, or 0.4 percent, to 3,244.37. U.S. employers added 236,000 jobs last month and the unemployment rate fell to 7.7 percent from 7.9 percent in January, the Labor Department reported. That’s far better than the 156,000 job gains and unemployment rate of 7.8 percent that economists surveyed by FactSet expected. The strong job growth shows that employers are confident about the economy despite higher taxes and government spending cuts. Optimism that hiring is picking up has been one of the factors bolstering the stock market this year. Stocks also have gained on evidence that the housing market is recovering and company earnings continue to growing. Stocks also have been boosted by continuing economic stimulus from the Federal Reserve. The U.S. central bank began buying bonds in January 2009 and is still purchasing $85 billion each month in Treasury bonds and mortgage-backed securities. That has kept interest rates near historic lows, reducing borrowing costs and encouraging investors to move money out of conservative investments like bonds and into stocks. Investors also have been pondering what the Fed’s next move will be. That question was in especially sharp focus Friday after the government reported the surge in hiring last month. Andres Garcia-Amaya at JPMorgan Asset Management said that the strong jobs report may heighten speculation that the Fed will end its stimulus sooner than investors had anticipated, which would be a negative for the stock market.

Google cutting 1,200 more Motorola jobs NEW YORK – Google is cutting an additional 1,200 jobs in its Motorola division as the unprofitable cellphone maker struggles to compete. Last summer, Google Inc. announced 4,000 Motorola job cuts. The latest reductions are in addition to those and will be in countries including the U.S., China and India. When Mountain View, Calif.-based Google bought Motorola last year for $12.4 billion, it had about 20,000 employees. The online search leader also expects to pare jobs at the division with a planned $2.35 billion sale of the Motorola set-top business, which has about 7,000 employees. Google had about 53,000 employees as of late September. Google bought Motorola primarily for its 17,000 patents, bolstering the company in the mobile device arms race with other technology companies.

Now think 1, the number of people it takes to start the trend – you.

U.S. wholesale stockpiles rise 1.2 percent By MARTIN CRUTSINGER

Fish McBites fail to spark McDonald’s sales

AP Economics Writer

NEW YORK – McDonald’s new Fish McBites failed to hook enough diners to get the fast-food chain’s U.S. sales growing in February. The world’s biggest hamburger chain said Friday that a key sales figure was down 3.3 percent in the U.S. for the month. When excluding the extra day of sales for February of last year, which was a leap year, the company said the figure was flat. That was despite the rollout of the Fish McBites nuggets in three sizes, which were also offered as the first new Happy Meal entree in a decade. The Oak Brook.-based chain is facing a rapidly shifting industry, with chains such as Chipotle and Panera reshaping customers’ expectations about fast food. An increase in payroll taxes that took effect in January isn’t helping.

WASHINGTON – U.S. wholesalers boosted their stockpiles in January by the largest amount in 13 months even though their sales dropped sharply. Inventories at the wholesale level rose 1.2 percent in January compared with December when inventories had edged up a slight 0.1 percent, the Commerce Department said Friday. It was the biggest gain since a similar increase in December 2011. Sales at the wholesale level dropped 0.8 percent after being flat in December. Sluggish growth in stockpiles was a key reason the economy barely grew in the October-December quarter. But economists believe stronger job growth and other signs of an economic rebound will spur businesses to restock this quarter. Increased stockpiling supports economic growth by triggering greater factory production. The economy, as measured by the gross domestic product, grew at a barely

U.S. wholesalers boosted their stockpiles in January by the largest amount in 13 months, even though their sales dropped sharply. discernible 0.1 percent rate in the fourth quarter. But many economists believe faster inventory building in the current quarter will help lift growth to a faster pace of around 2 percent in the January-March period.

In January, the rise in stockpiles was led by a 3.4 percent gain in lumber inventories, a sign that building supply stores are boosting stockpiles in response to the rebound in home construction that has been oc-

curring. Stockpiles of furniture, another industry that thrives when the housing market is gaining, rose 0.9 percent in January. Farm inventories, however, fell 1.5 percent after an

even larger 5.5 percent drop in December. These declines likely reflected the impact of a severe drought last year which cut production. The various changes left wholesale inventories at $504.4 billion on a seasonally adjusted basis, 6.5 percent above the level of a year ago. In another sign of a rebounding economy, the Labor Department reported Friday that a burst of hiring in February added 236,000 jobs and reduced the unemployment rate to 7.7 percent, the lowest level in four years. Another factor expected to boost growth this year is an improving trade performance with further gains in exports as the debt crisis in Europe stabilizes and growth in Asia rebounds. However, the government reported Thursday that the U.S. trade deficit rose in January as export sales declines while imports of various goods including oil showed gains. For the entire year, economists are still looking for an improvement in U.S. exports based on their forecasts that the global economy will be strengthening.

Soren Kierkegaard said, “I see it all perfectly; there are two possible situations -- one can either do this or that. My honest opinion and my friendly advice is this: do it or do not do it -you will regret both.” How depressing if true. At the bridge table, when you are faced with two choices, you have to pick one of them or the game will grind to an unexpected stop! And often one choice will be successful. In this deal, South is in three no-trump. West leads a fourth-highest spade seven and East puts up the queen. Declarer has two choices -- win trick one or duck it. Which should he select? West’s one-spade overcall would not meet with universal approval, but it is almost de rigueur among tournament players these days. Get into the opponents’ auction, especially if you can bid spades. Then, they must go up one level to outbid you in a suit. South starts with six top tricks: one spade (given the opening lead), two hearts, one diamond and two clubs. The extra tricks can be obtained from the

diamond suit. And if that inesse is winning, declarer will win at least one overtrick. But what if the inesse is losing? Then East might return a spade through South’s holding, and West might cash four tricks in the suit. To try to stop that from happening, declarer should duck the irst trick; let East take it. East will return his second spade, but when he regains the lead with the diamond king, he will not have a spade left. Or, if he did, spades must be 4-3 and South would lose only three spades and one diamond.

CROSSWORD

HOROSCOPE

▲ ▲

TODAY - There is a strong chance that you could be quite fortunate in the year ahead when it comes to establishing relationships with influential individuals who could prove to be very helpful commercially. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- It’s not a good day to make last-minute changes on something that is steadily moving along on a proscribed course. Instead of making any improvement, you could derail the entire endeavor. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Although you’re pretty good at convincing people of the rightness of your case, if you go overboard, you could cause them to backtrack. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- This could be one of those days when you might be able to get a better deal from a stranger than you could from a friend. It proves that it sometimes pays to check outside sources. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Being too indecisive could severely lessen your chances of achieving much of anything. Take plenty of time to figure out what you want to accomplish. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- If you’re not too discerning about what you want to get done, you could go off in multiple directions, not knowing where you’re heading or why. Have a goal in mind for best results. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Disappointment is inevitable if you set too high a price on some merchandise and/or service that you’re trying to sell. It isn’t likely that you’ll be able to find too many takers, if any. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You will be held accountable for any promises or commitments you’ve made but haven’t as yet come through on. Be ready to pay up, whether you’re ready or not. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- If you don’t believe in yourself or your abilities, you can’t expect others to. Your colleagues will see you only as you see yourself. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- An arrangement with some friends that you’re presently contemplating might not be as terrific as it appears on the surface. Look closely before you leap. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Because of a strong urge to expedite an important matter, you could easily do something that would be counterproductive. Try to forgo any decision-making for the nonce. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- It might take far more self-discipline than you’re able to muster to complete a tedious assignment. Unfortunately, any disinterest on your part destroys productivity. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Lady Luck is your buddy at present, but only up to a point. If you begin to take foolish risks, she’s likely to ignore you and instead favor someone who isn’t trying to beat the odds.

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:

Dr. Shakeel Signature Dental Group 815-455-3300 www.signaturedentalgroup.com

All procedures are done under concious sedation to ensure patient comfort and safety. Dr Shakeel and Dr Sinha hold anesthesia permits in the state of Illinois.
